"Wolf, what are you doing?" Logan asked as he walked outside. It was spring and the night air was cool.

Wolf turned around slightly. "What does it look like I'm doing?"

"It looks like you're pissing against the fence in the middle of the night, but I'm hoping I'm wrong."

Wolf smirked and turned back to the post he was watering. "That's exactly what I'm doing," he said as he finished and zipped his pants again.

"Okay," Logan said patiently, "Why are you pissing against the fence?"

"I'm marking my territory," he answered, "This'll stop any other dogs from wandering in here like that one did earlier." He turned to face Logan. "What are you doing out here?"

"Checking up on you," he said as he lit a cigar, "We have sensors around the doors that turn on at curfew so we know when a student leaves. When you tripped them, someone saw you from the surveillance camera and woke me up to deal with you since I'm your team leader. Now get inside, it's midnight."

Wolf curled his nose from the smell of the smoke. "But I'm not done yet! I just have a few more places to cover. I would have had it done by now, but I can't go in wolf form." He fingered his collar subconsciously.

"You still have that on?" Logan asked, impressed.

Wolf looked at him. "Um, yeah. You said to keep it on unless I was sleeping."

"Good boy," Logan smirked, petting his head.

"Hey, stop that!" he complained, dodging away from his hand. "Anyway, I need to stay outside for a bit more. And I'm not tired at all."

"No."

"Why not?" he growled in frustration, "It's instinct to be out right now! Being inside will make me go insane!"

Logan pet his head again, partially to remind him who was in charge, and partially just to annoy him because it was so amusing. "Sorry pup, I said no. If you want to go out at night, you need to ask first."

"What?" he snarled, "That's bullsh*t! Ow!"

Logan smacked him upside the head. "Watch you language, pup. And it's not. Some mutants can't sleep because of their powers, but they either stay inside or get permission to go out. They can't just leave to go anywhere and do anything they want, and neither can you."

Wolf huffed and rubbed his head. "Fine. Just let me finish marking the other areas."

"No, it's bedtime," Logan said, grabbing Wolf's collar to guide him to the door, "You can finish that tomorrow, right after your detention with me."

Wolf groaned. "Do you really want me peeing in front of all the other students?"

"If you ask, I'll let you go out 'til midnight tomorrow, okay?"

Wolf nodded and relaxed a little. Then he processed everything Logan had said. "Detention?" he protested, "Why?"

"Because you didn't use your brain and ask to go out. You should have known better. Now come to my office after your last class." He put out his cigar before they went into the building.

"You can't give me detention for being stupid!"

"Yes I can," Logan scoffed, "Watch me. If you aren't there tomorrow I'll sell you to a pet store."

"Xavier would never let you do that!" Wolf countered.

"Are you kidding? He'd thank me for getting rid of you!"

"Shut up. Ow!" he rubbed his head and glared at Logan.

"Watch it pup, or I might enter you in a dog show too."

Wolf just growled and kept quiet before Logan gave him a concussion.

Logan kept his grip on the collar and dragged him to his room to make sure he really was going to bed.

Wolf pulled away. "Let go! I'm going to bed, I promise!"

"Fine," he said, releasing him, "But if I catch you out again tonight your detention will be spent mostly over my knee, understand?" He gave him a stern look.

Wolf looked sideways. "Yeah, I understand. I'm not an idiot, I already got that you don't want me out."

"Good," he nodded, "Night then." He rubbed his head one last time before leaving, despite Wolf's whines of protest.

Wolf stood outside his door until he was sure Logan was gone, then he quietly made his way to the Danger Room, where he took two beers from Logan's refrigerator. Then he carried them back to his dorm without incident. He hid them and went to bed, taking his collar off first.
