Around ten, Jean jerked awake suddenly, having barely been asleep for an hour. Something wasn't right!

"Jean?" asked sleepily Scott behind her.

~Professor?~

~Teddy's gone missing! Doctor McCoy says he had checked on the boy and a few minutes later he couldn't hear any more breathing from the other room. When he looked back inside, Tedrick was gone,~ explained Charles.

"Get up, Tedrick's gone missing from the medical lab," she urged Scott, getting up to get dressed.

"I'll go wake up Storm," yawned the man.

Jean nodded before she started her search of the mansion, meeting up with Charles at one point.

"Anything?"

"I'm afraid not. Do not despair, we will find him," assured Charles.

It was around midnight, when they had all grouped up together, that they noticed the door to the indoor pool was slightly ajar. Jean and Storm lost all color in their faces, afraid of what was beyond the door. Scott was the one to take the first step forward, followed by Hank.

All was dark in the room, the reflection of the full moon entering by the floor to ceiling windows against the water making the area even more eerie.

That is when they heard the eco of a hiccup-like-intake of air, one that repeated itself rhythmically, which assured them Teddy was at least alive.

The pool area was made in the shape of a capital 'L', and since they couldn't see the child by the pool, it meant he was hiding in the hot-tub and seating area.

Slowly making their way over to the extended area, the closer they got, the more they could hear that there was another breathing pattern, this one calm and normal, which meant the child wasn't alone. They turned the corner and still with the light of the full moon, were able to see the Wolverine sitting on a lounge chair in sweat pants and a white wife beater shirt, holding still a hiccupping Teddy.

"Logan?" whispered in shock Jean.

Both heads turned sharply to them, the group gasping at the animalistic yellow eyes looking at them from Teddy's face, before the child turned back and clearly tried to bite at Logan. The Feral's hand shot out to hold the head turned away from his skin, the child trying to free himself while snarling.

But Logan held Teddy in a steady hold. In his right hand, he held the child's two wrists, nails unable to reach and scratch. He had the boy's waist between his thighs, legs crossed to keep Teddy's own down from kicking at any sensitive areas, but mostly to keep them still. That left Logan's left hand at the back of the child's head, guiding it to rest calmly against his chest once he stopped trying to bite.

"What is the meaning of this?" asked Storm, worry clear in her voice.

"Did you give him his medication?" growled Logan, the child back to his calm yet hiccupping breathing against him.

"I gave him a substitute. What was given to us by his guardian was simply too danger-"

"Less dangerous than this!" snapped Wolverine. "Do you 'know' why he was given the wolf-bane?"

Hank opened his mouth to answer, but shut it as he suddenly looked towards the window, eyes widening.

"Surely you don't mean…" he said, trailing off, but it was clear that the meaning behind the whole situation was catching on with the Beast. "How is that even possible? It's a myth! Stories we tell children or that we see in movies!"

Logan gave a deep growl, Teddy letting out a small whimper in reaction.

"It's not. Mutants exist after all. Truth be told, the only time I've ever seen one was when I was traveling in Europe. This kid's a cub from one, I recon. The virus, because that's what it is, an infecting virus, must have come from a bitten parent before this one's conception, otherwise he'd be full on fur and whatnot."

The others were fast catching on to the meaning of this conversation, the dots almost all connecting together.

"This boy is…a werewolf?" whispered Jean.

Logan looked at her in the eyes, and she felt a shiver of fear run down her spine as it was clear his feral side was affected either by the child's actions or the moon itself.

"The runt of one, at the very least. But it's too late to give him the wolf-bane potion tonight. I'll deal with him until the sunrise, go back to bed."

Their talking had Teddy trying to shift again, teeth clicking together and small noises of rage and distress coming out from deep in his small chest.

"We will talk about this tomorrow," said Scott.

Logan gave a grunt, using Teddy's movements to actually move the child more comfortable against him. In the light of the moon, they noticed scratches all over the child's arms, but no one said anything, leaving until this walking nightmare, or night terror as Harry Potter called it, was over.

XD|DX

Because of classes and the fact that Logan and Teddy slept a good part of the day away, it was only after four that they were all able to meet up in Charles' office, Teddy sitting hugged to Logan's side, surprisingly enough, the Feral having his arm resting on the back of the couch as if it was normal.

"Werewolves exist," Scott finally broke the silence that had settled once everyone was seated.

"Is it a form of mutancy? Some sort of shape shifting feral? How long have they been in existence?" asked Hank, eager to learn more.

Teddy gave a whimper, hiding his face against Logan's ribs, hair going a deep shade of black. This cause the Feral's hand to drop on top of the child's shoulder, to give a semblance of a barrier.

"I don't know. All I know is that they are real and during full moons, they either lock themselves up with silver or take the wolf-bane potion which keeps the darker nature of their wolf at bay. When the beast can't lash out at things, it takes it out on itself."

Which explained why Teddy had finger nail scratches all over, even a bite mark from himself on his own bicep.

"So, you're saying the child is best on a mixture that could poison him if wrongly dosed?" asked Jean.

"Unless you want to explain to his father why he's scarred from head to toe; yeah. And this way there are less chances he'll attack someone too. You guys are lucky it's me he found and not one of the other students," growled Logan.

And it was true. Someone could have been seriously injured had the Wolverine not been there. Teddy started to shake, sobs wracking his body. Jean moved to sit on his other side, ignoring the glare Logan gave her as she pulled the boy into her lap.

"It's alright Teddy, nothing bad happened and now that we know, we can work better arrangements out. You'll see, everything will turn out alright," she whispered to him.

"I-I almost hu-hurt Lily once! I w-was three and L-Lily only a baby. Vic-" the boy cut himself off, sobs stilling for a second. "Vicky pulled me off Lily before I could choke her fully. Dad had to take me away for two months. Vic-Vicky still doesn't like me around the others when it's the full moon."

It was heart wrenching, especially since it was clear Teddy cared so much about his family. Because Jean had been holding onto Teddy when he mentioned Vicky, she was able to 'see' a flash long blond hair and enraged yellow eyes before it was gone.

"Has Vicky ever hurt you, Teddy?" asked Charles, having picked up the image as Jean shared it with him.

Teddy shook his head fast, rushing to speak

"No! Vicky's very nice to me, even if I'm not hi-hers!" hurriedly covered up the child. "She's just weary during the full moon is all. She'll even stay up with me when the medication doesn't work well. I'm one of her cubs!"

The group relaxed, though they would still ask questions to Harry when he next called or came to visit. Hopefully they would even get to talk to this Vicky, the Feral mother of the four younger siblings.

"You still want to take the medicine, Tedrick? Even if we find you a room you'll be safe in that you won't be able to escape?" asked Charles.

"Please don't take the medication away again, professor," pleaded the child.

Charles nodded and sent the boy away, promising him he would get the wolf-bane that night. That left everyone in silence again.

"Do you have any contact to reach this werewolf you met before, Logan?"

"Sorry Chuck; he died almost eight years ago. There was a quiet war going on in the UK and he was a casualty, along with his mate and a good deal of their friends, though I only knew him. We'd kept in contact for three years with letters before I received one from his nephew saying Remus had passed. Kid must have found my letters," sighed Logan.

Ororo felt her heart reach out to him. It must be hard to lose a friend, especially when you've no memories of your past. At least now Logan had them and the whole Xavier's school to care for him.

XD|DX

For the third night, Teddy was given his dose of medication with Logan standing guard. The child slept the whole night, not reacting to the moon at all. Harry called on Tuesday night as usual, but only spoke to Teddy, and a routine was made once more, Logan actually spending as much time with Teddy than he did with Rogue, which gave the girl amply time to play and chat with her boyfriend and their friends.

The day before the next full moon, Harry called to talk to Charles.

/Mr. Xavier, I won't be able to come up to deliver the medicine. Someone else will be going, Teddy's cousin on his mother's side. He's the one that came up with the variant for Teddy's medication and since Teddy told me it hadn't gone too good last time, Draco would like to examine Teddy this time around. I know it's a bit much to ask, but could you allow Draco to stay at the school for three nights? Or if it's a bother, let Teddy go into Draco's custody?/ asked the young father.

"It's not a problem at all, Mr. Potter. We shall arrange a room for Teddy's cousin. When will he be arriving?"

Charles could hear a bit of noise from the other line, as if Harry had muffled the mouthpiece to talk to someone else.

/Tomorrow, around the afternoon. He will also be bringing his son, if you don't mind. He's four so he won't be missing any school or anything./

The handicapped man chuckled.

"As I said, no problem. I'm sure Tedrick will enjoy the company."

Harry burst out laughing.

/For a few hours, sure! Then they'll start to argue. Cousins never get along long in their family's side,/ chuckled Harry.

With that, the conversation ended, Charles pleased they would get to meet someone who knew how to make Teddy's medication.
