A/N: Please forgive me for taking so long for taking so long to get this chapter out. I had finals to finish and I spent the rest of the time my boyfriend had left before he headed out to work for nine weeks and then I had work so... It's finally out. I really am sorry for taking so long. I hope you enjoy.

It seemed any dispute between the two dissolved with common ground. They stared at each other for a few more minutes before the two went their own way. Alexis headed to where Storm's office was on the map, still in her hand.

Replaying the scene in her mind, she watched the three mutants move through her mind like pieces on a chessboard. Jeez, I was really asking for it back there. Oh, well. So says the rules of the wild. I stood up to the alpha and survived. I may not be on top now, but I'm higher than an omega at least. Though Scott almost doesn't fit into the rules of a pack. That's odd. I've never met someone like that before.

The puzzle of Scott's character continued to play over and over in Alexandria's mind. Stopping in front of what she hoped was Storm's office, she knocked. There was the sound of rustling papers, the tap tap of shoes on a hard wood floor, and then the sound of the doorknob turning right before the heavy wooden door itself opened. Storm smiled at Alexis before opening the door all of the way.

"Come in. You're a few minutes early, but I do not mind. I am not to busy at the moment." The woman smiled at her from behind a large oak desk. Trans stood behind of the chairs in front of the desk, looking down at Storm.

"Please, have a seat. I'll feel very awkward if you're standing while I am sitting." The teenager shook her head and Storm let the subject drop, rather to feel awkward than to have the girl explode at her.

"I have been informed that you have met with the teacher whose aid you will be," A stark nod from Alexandria allowed Storm to know she was being listened and so continued. "Logan has quite a temper so it would be best to avoid angering him as Scott told me you have already. Listen to what he has to say. He's a good person. He really is; he tries his best and I believe that you will understand him better than anyone else here. As for other classes, I'm going to put you in our sports classes, which has a wide range of athletics so you can met with other students and get to know them as well. I don't need you being off in conclusion all the time."

What if I want to be in conclusion? I don't like people and they don't like me. Why would I want to be around them? Well… than again wasn't coming here supposed to reintroduce me to the world, the world that turned its back on me. Though, that was the humans- mutants are not much different.

"So basically, all I'll be doing is running around all day helping Wolverine to teach a bunch of yapping kids or off do some sport trying to fit into a different world?" Alexis asked, one slender eyebrow arch.

Storm nodded her head. "Pretty much. I apologize on behalf of Scott. He hasn't been doing so well and he seems to find various outlets on which to unload his frustration. Unless you want something other than what we have decided to put on your schedule, than as it stands you'll have physical activities to do all day."

"Thanks. Am I free now?"

"Yes, you can go onto lunch if you like, but then right after you need to get out to the gym where Logan is meeting up with his level one self defense class." Alexandria nodded her head and left the room. She didn't bother to ask where the gym was. She was smart enough to know that the gym would be on the map; it was finding it on the map that was going to be the hard part.

Staring down at the map, the teenager looked for it until she found what looked like the gym. In very small letters, were words printed in black and white. Increasing her sight, she let the letters grow bigger, using her mutation until she could perfectly read the letters. It did say gym. She nodded to herself and took stock of the things around the gym from where she was to see exactly how far she had to go.

Sighing, Trans put the map away and headed out of the mansion. It was the first time since she'd arrived at the school. Walking outside, she took a deep breath of fresh air. Glancing up at the sky, she made sure to keep track of what time it so she wouldn't be late. No need to piss him off again today. Turning towards the woods, she started walking ignoring everyone else who was around. There weren't many people, but they still looked at her.

The woods quickly surrounded her in familiarity. Breathing almost a sign of relief, she climbed into a large tree as far as she could and sat on the thick branch. Looking up, she stared through as well of the tree line at the sky as she could. Feels like home. This is where I belong not in that stuffy old school. What was I thinking? I don't belong here. But if that guy, Logan, can stand it and he seems just like me, then I guess I could force myself to stay. Besides, there is a slight chance I could learn something from him.

Alexis let her lunch time pass quickly as she spent it sitting in the tree watching the natural world go by- the world she felt she most belonged. Finally after an hour had passed, the teenager glanced up at the sky and seeing the time started climbing back down the tree. Nearly half way down; she fixed her gaze on a patch of leaves and jumped. She landed lightly on her feet, her knees bent to absorb the impact of the fall. The leaves around her barely moved. Trans nodded to herself and started walking back towards the mansion.

It wasn't long until she was entering into the gym, with the help of the map. As she entered, several students turned and stared at her. She glared back until she caught sight of Logan. He grunted at the fact she was late.

"Nice of you to join us." His voice was low, but she could still hear him. She huffed as she crossed one arm over the other and glared at the man.

"It's not like I want to be here. It's your fault you can't teach a class on your own." The man didn't respond, only ignored her and started addressing the class. She heard her codename briefly. She figured he was giving her a 'welcome' introduction to the mutants in his class before he started leading them out into the back yard of the mansion.

Alexis followed behind of the group, keeping her distance as Logan put the class through a series of warm ups and simple exercises to get their blood flowing and their minds in gear for what they were going to be working on. It's all so mundane. I don't understand how he can do it if he's like me.

Wolverine jabbed his head at Trans. The girl got the message and walked over. She sighed to herself- it was going to be a long day.

And she was right. The day had dragged on and on until finally the class was over. Logan watched all of the kids away before turning to his aid.

"Your good. Where did you learn all of that stuff?" Alexandria felt pride in the fact that she'd shown Wolverine other things that could be done for the things he was making the students learn.

"I think you know the answer to that question. Where did you learn yours?" From the whole workout, the female hadn't broken out into a sweat like the other students, but then again neither had Logan.

The man nodded at her in understanding. He picked up the gear and headed back inside. He didn't ask me to explain myself. He really must be like me. A faint smile crossed her face as she headed in after him.

"May I ask you a question?" She tried going the nice route, but she had a feeling she didn't have to be polite around Wolverine. He grunted and Alexis continued. "Why are you called Wolverine, if it has nothing to do with your powers?"

"You sure do ask a lot of questions for a kid who spent time out in the wild." Alexis stopped walking and glared at the man.

"And you still smell like a wet dog." It was a weak comeback, but she figured she had to do what could at the time.

"Is that the best you could come up with?" Alexis just shrugged her shoulders, even though she knew he couldn't see it, but would still know. She just knew he would.

Logan threw the equipment into a storage room in the gym before turning to Trans. They stared at each other much the same way they had earlier in the day. Alexis nodded her head to the man and he responded in kind.

"Get out of here." A sly smile slide across her face as she turned and ran, bare feet hitting the floor almost silently despite how fast she was running. Wolverine watched her run out of the gym before shaking his head to himself.

Finally, someone who truly understands me. And I didn't have to try every hard. Oh, course, he's like me and he's an adult. But it's a start. Maybe I can fit in again. Maybe there will be another Roger for me here. I'll only find out if I dish it out here. She stopped running and looked around. Her class was in the gym in three minutes. She cursed under her breath walking back towards the gym. She didn't know who would be teaching, but she had to go. At least I'm going to be doing something and not just sitting around. Opening the door for the second time that day, she walked in and looked around. A whole new set of students was there but the teacher wasn't yet.

This is my chance. Better not screw it up now.
