An: I own nothing

Tinkerbell and Claws

By the time they landed in the hanger at the school, the professor was anxious, Logan was seething with rage, and both the teens were passed out holding one another. Storm sighed wondering what the two men had seen in Claws' mind.

"Logan couldn't it wait till tomorrow for them to see Hank? They are dead tired."

"No, I wish it could."

"Well we had better get out before the others mob us."

"Yah, guess so. Cub is going to hate being my kid."

Storm gave Logan a questioning look

"Rogue, Jubes, Kitty, Bobby, Pyro, Pete, Elf should I keep going."

"Ah I see what you mean."

Logan went over and gently shook Hermione. "Tink wake up. We're here. Come on Tink."

"We are here?" Hermione asked with a yawn. "Oh, excuse me."

"Claws we are here. Wake up. We are not in England anymore." Hermione cooed in Harry's ear.

Harry popped his eyes open and tried to focus. He snapped his head around to look at the unfamiliar surroundings.

"It's alright cub." Logan said quietly. Harry looked up and nodded at Logan, smiling quickly at him.

Storm opened the cargo bay, after releasing the Professor. Harry's first impression was vastness, while Hermione was trying not to slide down the ramp. Harry knew that people were behind them, and positioned himself so only his back and profile could be seen as he offered Hermione a steadying hand.

"Hay Professor, Storm, Logan. Ah guess that's the new students?"

"Hello Rogue and yes they are. The young man is Claws and the young lady is Hermione or Tinkerbell. Please make them feel at home."

"Y'all know we will."

"Oh, someone new to shop with!" Kitty squealed. Logan and Harry winced at the same time. "Opps! Sorry Wolvie and Claws?"

Harry finally turned around. "It's alright." He said smiling as he wrapped an arm around Hermione's waist.

All motion from the teens stopped and mouths sat agape. Harry frowned at them, which caused the teens to recoil just a bit. Harry then arched a brow at Logan looking for an explanation. This caused the gathered teens to gasp in shock. Pete spoke first.

"He is a mini Wolverine." Pete stated eyes shifting between father and son. Storm and Hermione both burst out laughing.

"Ah didn't know you had a son Logan." Rogue said in shock.

Logan pulled the cigar out of his mouth. "Just found out today." then promptly popped the cigar back in place.

Harry stood staring right back at the other teens. He snorted in their direction, and then pulled Hermione along to the same route the Professor was taking.

"Claws, Tinkerbell, this is Henry "Hank" McCoy. He is also known as Beast."

"Greetings, I will be the one doing check-ups on both of you. I will also be assisting in accessing your powers." The large blue furred mutant said warmly.

Harry was who was of the opinion that everyone be treated equally regardless of what they were, shook the large doctors clawed hand with his usual friendly smile.

"So that is what it would look like if Wolverine smiled." Kitty whispered none too quietly. Logan glared in Kitty's direction. All of the students coward back away from the glare.

"You don't seem shocked by my appearance." Beast said with an even bigger smile.

Harry and Hermione exchanged puzzled look. "Should we be?" They both asked at the same time.

"Beast the children have seen strange beings, if I am not mistaken? And are quite used to it."

Both nodded their agreement.

"Hi I am Jean Gray; I teach Art and science, I hope the flight was easy for you." Jean said not quite sure why she could not hear any thoughts from the teens. ;'Jean please do not try to investigate these two, Claws' mind has been horribly violated and I suspect the Tinkerbell's has been in the past without her knowledge.'

;'Yes Professor. But who did this to them?'

;'The Headmaster of their school and another professor there.'

"Nice to meet you." Harry said shaking her hand.

"The men were a bit loud, but other than that it was ok." Hermione said then stuck her tongue out, when Harry rolled his eye at her.

"This is Scott Summers, or Cyclops, he is the Principle of the school and the Math teacher." Scott shot Jean a puzzled look, not sure why his title had been switched.

"Great another Logan to deal with." Scott groused in Logan's direction

When Scott look back in the direction of the new students, he backup a half step as Claws was standing toe to toe with him.

"Claws don't" Harry waved Hermione off, and winked at her.

If Logan had not been watching closely he would have missed the wink. He then took the cigar out of his mouth and crossed his arms with an amused look on his face.

"I am only going to tell you this once. You had better get the hint, I am not my Father. If you persist in treating me as such you will wish you were never born. Do. You. Understand?"

"Yes." Claws could smell the fear that was starting to come of the older mutant.

"Good then we should not have any problems." Claws said with an evil grin.

Scott looked in Logan's direction. Logan smiled at Scott than dropped in the tenth of a second. "Claws enough now. Hank needs to check both of you out."

"Alright." Came the bright reply, leaving Scott to wonder if he dreamed what just happened.

"Logan, we need to discuss the room arrangements."

He nodded "Alright you two, I will meet you in the med unit in a minute. Don't give Beast any trouble."

"I don't cause trouble, trouble finds me. Remember bad luck walking?" Harry said with a smirk.

Logan grunted. Once the three mutants were out of earshot, Logan turned to the Professor.

"Ok Chuck what is it?"

"At the end of the teacher's wing is a set of rooms that have an adjoining door. I thought you and Claws would like those."

"You're worried about his nightmares."

"You have seen his life Logan. He needs you."

"True. Alright I will get my stuff moved." Logan paused "Anything else?"

"The threatening of the teachers?"

"As long as no one pulls a stupid stunt like One-eye over here, they should be fine." Logan said with a shrug. He was not going to hinder his cub's right to defend himself.

"I guess we should consider ourselves warned then. Also I was going to contact Stephen, about their "other" schooling."

"A good idea, but isn't what he does different then what those two do?"

"We will have to ask Stephen. If it is then he may know of others like them that can help."

"Well, where are you from. I can tell your British, from where?"

"Oh, both of us from around the London area."

"Claws how did you find out that Logan was your father?"

"My parents died when I was fifteen months old. They had a will that said if my godfather was unavailable to send me to my dad."

"Oh. I am sorry for your loss." Hank was very uncomfortable, and Harry could smell it.

"Happened a long time ago." Harry said just as the elevator showed up

"So Hermione what is your family like."

"Believe it or not they are ok with me being well me." Hermione said with a shrug

"Tink's parents are dentists. And she gets the best grades in our class."

"Oh. You were in regular school before, your mutations came out?"

"It was an alternative school, in Scotland." Hermione told Hank quickly

"Like we have fast track schools here?"

"Fast track?" Harry asked giving Hank a confused look.

"The school is set up to speed the student to a particular career choice. Like there is a fast track school for nursing."

"Sort of. They are set up to handle career training for occupations that focus on a very specialized field."

"I will have to ask my cousin about that school. He used to teach at one around that area about two years ago."

"Oh what did he teach?" Harry gave Tink a nod; they both had their hands on their wands.

"He had an odd title, Dadc? Something like that."

"DADA *gulp* is your cousin Remus Lupin?" Harry signaled Hermione to relax.

"Yes, how did you know?"

"Tink goes to that school. We would appreciate it if you did not tell him either of us is here."

"Oh why?" Hank asked as he led them to the medical lab.

"Please?" Harry gave him a pleading look, stopping in the lab doorway.

"As you wish, does the Professor know?"

"Yes, he knows why, as does Logan."

"Alright. So, your father asked that you be checked out first. If you would like you can wait in my office or the lab but of course don't touch anything."

"Office sounds fine." Hermione said with a shy smile.

Once Hank made sure Hermione was comfortable, he had Harry strip to his pants. Hanks eyes just about popped out of his head when he saw all of the scars on Harry's back.

"How much longer do I have to have my shirt off? I don't want Logan see the scars on my back."

"Ummmm...Sorry, I need to take blood. How often did you eat?"

"I know I look bad. My mother's family would sometime not feed me at all, sometimes days at a time."

Hank started to draw blood from Harry so he would not have to look him in the eyes.

"Any area hurting right now?"

"No. I heal like Logan." Hank nodded.

"Bone claws too?"

"No, metal ones like his." Hank's head snapped up at this.

"I would like to x-ray you if I could." Harry could smell Hank beginning to panic.

"Yah. Fine. Why are you panicking?"

"Remus once told me that in some magical families the most prominent traits will be forced or acquired by the offspring magic. Like the Malfoy's having blond hair, if they dye it, there magic would force it back to the original color."

"So my magic may have caused my mutation, not my genes?"

"No not really, with Logan be most famous for his healing, metal claws and skeleton, your magic may have forced the metal which is not a genetic trait. I am willing to bet that the feral and healing are from your genes."

"Let me know when Stephen gets here. I am off to see how bad Claws is." Logan said heading for the door into the school.

"Professor what does he mean by "how bad"?" Scott asked. Charles look up trying to decide how much to tell the students and teachers.

"To say that Claws came to his father unscathed would be an outright lie. He was in a spot that did not allow for him to get away. Those that would have helped would have erroneously put him back where he was. That is all that I can say. I also doubt that Claws will tell you any more than that. Also he reacts badly to pit, so don't if you can help it."

"Professor what you told me. It is unforgivable what they did to the two of them. Why would they knowingly violate their trust like that?"

"As the Headmaster of their school is fond of saying "For the greater good". He very firmly believes that the end justifies the means. Claws seems to have become very jaded, he made a comment that most teens their age would not even understand." The Professor smiled sadly as he said this.

"Professor why does he only go by his code name?" Scott asked

"For much the same reason that Rouge does."

"Ah just hate my name, Professor."

"So does Claws. His name gets him much unwanted attention, he would rather not have. He requested that he be called by him code name."

"But why Claws Professor?" Bobby asked

"Claws' mutation is almost a perfect copy of Wolverine's. So he has claws."

"Oh" All the students said, while the Teachers shook their heads, at how slow they were.

"Professor I am going to go rescue Tinkerbell from the men."

The elevator could not get to the first floor quick enough for him. He knew it would make him angry, but he had to know how much work his cub would need to be healthy and able to defend himself.

Logan quick marched to the med unit. He pushed past the door to see Harry's back retreating into the x-ray room. 'All those scars. I am going to kill who ever did that.' Wolverine roared his agreement.

"Claws, you said there were scars. You didn't say how many." Wolverine said running into the x-ray room with Claws.

"You weren't meant to see those anytime soon." Claws said quietly.

Hank knew when to make an exit. He quickly went in to the office, to speak with Hermione.

"Why? You think I would be mad at you?" Logan arched a brow in Harry direction.

"No, disappointed. Most people don't want a kid as damaged as I am." Claws said in a voice barely above a whisper. He could not look Logan in the eye at this point and he did not know why.

"I am not disappointed with you. You have faced sh** that would make most grown men cower in fear. Damaged? No one is as damaged as I am kid, except Sabertooth." Logan sighed and ran his hands through his hair. "You came out better than I could have hoped for. I can promise you that I am not going to die on you anytime soon."

"You don't know that you can deliver that. You have never been hit with the killing curse."

"No. But you have. You survived why wouldn't I survive?"

"I don't know if you would or wouldn't. What happened with me had something to do with my mother sacrificing herself to protect me." Harry said getting on to the x-ray table.

"Well I can tell we have a lot of work to do on you. I expect you to be able to defend yourself without your stick."

"Wand."

"Whatever. I am not going to go easy on you either; in fact I will probably be harder on you then the other students."

"*sigh* Ok." Harry said looking has his hands. "Are you going outside to smoke soon?"

"Yah. why?"

"Could you take Hedwig out with you? She needs to learn the area."

"Yah sure kid." Logan said rolling his eyes.

"Thank you."

Logan humphed at Claws before going out the door.

"So Hermione. Any mental health issues in your family?"

"No. What is the curriculum like here?"

"Math, sciences, English, some tech courses. Any history of heart problems in the family?"

"No. How do you assess what someone's mutation is?"

"One they can most of the time tell us what it is, others just show us and we help them find out what it is. So you are a witch?"

"Yes. Are you a squib?"

"Yes."

Logan found Hank and Tinkerbell, in the office, going over her medical history.

"Hank, Claws is ready for the x-ray. What are you x-raying him for anyway?"

"Testing a theory. Have you seen his claws yet?"

"Nah he hasn't popped claw in front of me yet why?"

"Logan his claws are covered in metal." Logan's eye got as big as saucers.

"He ever been grabbed Tink?"

"No. He said after his nightmare that they just came out that way."

"They look just like mine?"

"Yes as far as I can tell. But, I am not a metallurgist."

"Hank I am going to let his owl out and smoke. Be back in twenty minutes." He said as he got Hedwig to perch on his shoulder.

"Alright Logan."

Logan almost ran over Storm in his hurry to get outside for a smoke. Hedwig squawked and fluffed her feathers, making her look like a white puffball with a beak.

"Logan anything wrong?"

"Kid has metal claws like mine." Logan said moving past her.

"Was he experimented on?"

"No. Hank's trying to find out how he got that way." Logan said scowling at anything in front of him.

"Logan we will figure this out and he will be fine." Storm rested her hand on his chest, and smiled encouragingly at Logan.

Logan looked at Storm and brought her hand up, placing a kiss in the palm of her hand. "Thank you."

Storm blushed "For what Logan."

"Letting me vent at you a little bit. Do me a favor and make sure that Tink doesn't see Claws' back."

"Is it that bad Logan?" Storm looked horrified at him.

"That family really messed up my cub." Logan's blue eyes bled into Wolverine's gold. "I am going to have a smoke before I kill something."

Storm stole an admiring glance at the retreating Canadian's back, biting her lip like a school girl. 'How does he make me feel warm in all the right places, then disgusted with him the next second?' She shook her head to clear her thought and went into the med unit to find Hermione.

Hank came into the x-ray room to see Claws sitting on the x-ray table, crying. "Claws are you alright. Did you and Logan argue?"

"*gulp* No. He's proud of me." Harry said with a look of confusion on his face. He really never had a parent be proud of him. It made him feel odd.

Hank smiled at Harry and patted his shoulder. He then had Harry lay down with his hands down and away from his sides.

"Alright Claws, this should be very quick." Hank then started the full body x-ray.

Storm found Hermione sitting in Hank's office.

"Well how do you like our Med. unit?"

"I am blown away by how advanced it is."

"Yes it is, but we need the most advanced equipment. With each new student we increase our knowledge of how the x-gene works."

"Wow. I wonder how magic fits in with this."

"Maybe you can for the first to find out?" Storm smiled at Hermione, which she returned with great excitement.

An: I think I may have missed some of the setup so. Review and let me know if I missed some of the action. :) And cookies
