Chapter 3: We're Off To See The Professor! ...Not

Wally's brain registered that two people were approaching, it just didn't... sink in. He was to busy being amazed. I actually did it! he thought. I actually vibrated my molecules through something! Without a bloody nose!

A throat clearing shook him from his thoughts, and from the corner of his eye, he could see Spider jumping. Wally's attention focused on the two in front of him. One was a rough-looking man with black hair parted down the middle and the rest pointed into two spikes on either side, (with MASSIVE sideburns, Wally noted.) and the other, an African woman with white hair. He named them 'Burns and Snowy.

He took this in within two seconds, right as Snowy started speaking.

"Would you come with us? The professor would like to see you." Her tone was polite, but Burns just grunted. Her question immediately put Wally on guard. Why would anyone want to see him? How would anyone even know he was here? Besides the obvious 'SHIELD'.

"Who are you? How did you know I was here?" Wally not-quite-demanded-but-didn't-really-ask-nicely.

"Well, I'll just be going now... Bye, I guess?" Spider trailed off, then shook his head. Wally absent-mindedly waved 'good-bye' to him as Spider shot a string and swung off. He refocused his attention to Burns and Snowy. "Well?" he prompted.

"Well?" the red-head asked. Logan saw the kid shift his weight, as if he was preparing to fight... Or run. He snorted. Not like the kid would get far. Storm sighed next to him and answered the boy. "Well, I am Ororo, and this is Logan." She gestured to him. "As for the second question, the professor sent us."

"Who is 'the professor'?" the kid put air-quotes around 'the professor'. Storm answered her again.

"Professor Charles Xavier. He is the headmaster and teaches at Xavier's School For the Gifted."

"And why would he want to see me? Frankly, why should I go with you?"

Logan growled. He stomped up to the kid and jabbed him in the chest. "Listen, Bub. I've got half a mind to knock you out" - "Logan!" - "and take you to Wheels just to get you to shut up!" The boy stepped back and gave a short laugh. "Huh. New record." Logan snarled and was about to punch him when Storm interrupted him and put a hand on his shoulder. "The professor created the school for special people like me and Logan. Like you. They call us mutants.

The boy frowned. "Mutants. Muuuuttttaaaannnnnnnttttttssss." He said slowly, as if chewing on the word. "I don't like the word. It sounds too much like "Freak"." His expression changed as something dawned on him. "Wait. Me? A mutant?" He laughed again. "Sorry, no. I'm not a mutant."

Ororo started speaking again. "It is perfectly acceptable" The boy interrupted her.

"I'm not a mutant. No, I'm-" here he gestured to himself, "- a speedster."

Logan was confused. What was the difference? The red-head continued talking, unaware of Logan's thinking. "Thanks, but no thanks. I think I'm okay."

Logan snorted. The kid looked at him. "What?"

"You certainly don't look okay." He looked down at himself. The kid's green eyes had bags underneath them. His hair was greasy and matted. His suit looked even dirtier and slightly ripped. To put it simply, he looked dead on his feet. Said boy laughed dryly.

"Heh. Got that right." He crossed his arms. "But still, thanks, but no thanks. For all I know, you could be scientists waiting to catch me and dissect me." The boy whirled around and took off running. Logan and Ororo's jaws dropped as he sped up until he was a yellow blur that quickly disappeared down the street.

Wow. No pitchforks yet? Nobody's even yelling! Gah! My stupid g key! It being stubborn today... But anyway, as I was spellcheckin this, the sentence "Logan was confused." caught the computer's eye as "Passive voice" and the example it gave was literally this:

Before: Wolverine was made to be a weapon.

After: The government made Wolverine. Wolverine is a weapon.

I literally laughed so hard I almost woke up my Mom.

Ah. I forgot what I was going to say. Oh yeah! Tell me if I missed any gs, please?
