The duo soon reached the Professor's study. Logan knocked twice, and the two heard in their minds,

"Come in Kurt and Logan." Logan grunted as he opened the door. He walked through as Kurt trailed closely behind, excited to finally be able to do something.

"So whatdaja need Chuck? It must be pretty important to interrupt my lunch." Logan jokingly growled. Charles Xavier smiled.

"Come, sit." said the bald handicapped man. Logan roughly jumped into a chair as Kurt teleported into the other. "I have a job for you Kurt." He said to the blue teen. Kurt smiled with anticipation.

"Well, if you just need him, why'd ya call me in here too?" the gruff man asked impatiently. He wasn't in the mood to have his lunch time wasted after falling in the cold fountain.

"Well, that's a good question Logan." The Professor put his finger tips together to form a small tent-like shape. "You may or may not need to go along with Kurt, depending on if he's willing to do this assignment. The telepath looked toward the young mutant.

"I'm villing to do just about anysing right now. I'm so bored!" Kurt exclaimed. The man sitting across from him smiled.

"That's brilliant. Now, about your mission…" the man pressed a small button on his wheelchair and a hologram opened on the desk he was sitting behind. "We've noticed that there's been some unusual activity the Brotherhood's been doing. They keep sending various mutants, never the same one mind you, to countries all around the world. Last week, it was deep in the mountains of Canada, three days ago, Russia. This morning was Germany." Kurt's ears pricked up at the sound of his homeland. Kurt grew up there in a circus act as an acrobat. Some, interesting things happened with the ringmaster's daughter and Kurt left the circus. Logan also grunted when he heard "Canada", that being where he spent most of his elongated life, running with wolves in the Canadian wilderness. "The Brotherhood seems to be following something, or someone. We don't know what, or who they're following, but where ever they land, they send one or two of their strongest mutants, only to have them return two days later broken and bruised. However, they are never close to death. It seems like whatever they want is very strong. It sent back Juggernaut with three broken ribs, a concussion, and his helmet shattered, as if it was ripped off of his shoulders." Both Logan and Kurt straitened and listened with curiosity and worry. Juggernaut is the Professor's brother, and one of the strongest mutants to ever live. When he has his helmet on, no one can stop him; he's almost as bad as the Hulk is when he's angry. Kurt started to shiver, thinking he's going to be the next to fight this thing.

"So, what you're saying Chuck, is that you want either me or the Elf to go and try to see what it is that they're after?" asked Logan, with a hint of fear in his voice. Kurt looked at him in astonishment. Logan almost never shows emotion other than anger and wrath. Kurt looked next at the leader of the school. The bald man sighed.

"Yes… I'm afraid that's exactly what I'm wishing for. I picked you two because whatever it is doesn't hurt the more, um, animal-like mutants as much as the ones those are telepaths or that sort of things. I'm thinking what they're going after is a mutant that is also animal-like. I'm thinking he, or she, is self-conscious about this and doesn't trust anyone, that's why they keep hopping from place to place. All the places the Brotherhood has gone to are deeply wooded areas where there is little human interaction on a day to day basis." Then the Professor turned to Kurt. "I'm thinking they've dealt with some of the same things you have Kurt." Kurt shuddered at this. He's been through so much in his eighteen years. He was threatened to be killed, he was chased out of towns by the townspeople while they carried pitchforks and torches. It was during one of these chasings that the Professor rescued him and brought him to America.

"Mein Gott…" whispered Kurt.

"You can say that again Elf." Said Logan quietly.

"I'm not going to force you into this Kurt, it is definitely life-threatening, but if you do it, you could be scoring one of the strongest mutants ever known on our side. It's your choice. You have two hours to make up your mind-"

"No." Kurt said. The Professor looked slightly hurt and was about to speak, when Kurt continued. "It's not right for someone to be chased down day after day by humans and mutants. I don't want anyone to have to go through what I did. I'll do it." He decided. He looked straight into the bald man's eyes as he said that. The Professor smiled.

"Do you want Logan to go with you?"

"Nein, I'll do it myself. It wouldn't be the same if someone came that didn't face what I did. When do we leave?" The telepath smiled and pressed another button on his wheelchair. Through the window behind the telepath, Kurt and Logan saw the tennis court open up and reveal the Blackbird it was hiding.

"Immediately." Said Xavier.

~an hour and a half later~

The Blackbird was flying over the European part of the world and on its way to north Germany.

"You know Elf, you don't have to do this…" said Wolverine. Logan and Kurt where sitting in the cockpit, Logan piloting the jet, and Kurt sitting in the passenger seat.

"Ja, I know… But, I zink that this is the best… The Professor said that no one was seriously injured, so I should be fine."

"Yeah bub, but there's always a first time for everything." Kurt gulped. He hadn't thought about that.

"Vell, I zink everysing vill be fine. So, when are you guys going to pick me up?"

"In two days, if you find anything before then, just telepathically talk to Chuck and we'll come pick you up."

"Vunderbar; I'll do zhat."

After a few minutes of silence, Logan finally said,

"Alright bub, we're at the drop site. Go put your parachute on." Kurt did as he was told and pulled the straps on around his waist. He opened the door to the Blackbird and looked at his home country. They were over the northern most part of Germany, where there were lots of lakes and ponds. Kurt gulped at this, hoping he wouldn't land in the middle of a lake in early spring. He knew if he did, it would be very, very cold. Kurt looked back to Logan, who gave him thumbs up, signifying everything will be okay. Kurt nodded, gulped, and jumped from the jet.
