"Wolf, wake up."
Wolf whined at the shaking and opened one eye. "Logan? What time is it?"
"It's 1:00 in the morning," Logan whispered, "Now wake up. I have something important to tell you."
Wolf sat up and rubbed his eyes sleepily. "What is it?" He tried thinking of anything he did wrong, but he had been pretty good since the museum trip.
"Alright Pup, listen to me. There's a mutant named Magneto who likes to do not-so-nice things to people. We've caught word that he's making plans again, and he wants to use a student from this school for them. Me, Xavier, and most of the other teachers are going to leave for a little while and try to figure out what he's up to. Cyke's staying behind to run things and protect the students, but he can only keep his eye on so many things at once. I want you to help him, ok? Keep your nose alert, and don't let anyone on the property until Scott says it's ok." Logan ruffled Wolf's hair. "Think you can do that for me?"
Wolf smiled and licked Logan's hand to say yes, feeling important.
"Hey," Logan flicked his nose, making him sneeze, "What's the rule on licking?"
"Not to do it when I'm human," Wolf grumbled.
"Good," Logan scratched behind his ears. "I have one more thing to tell you before I go: there's a rumor that he's already got a spy in the school. We don't know if it's true or not, but keep an eye on the other students. He's got people working for him of all ages and with many forms."
Wolf looked at him somberly. "Don't worry, I'll take care of things while you're gone."
Logan smiled. "Well, behave for Scott, Pup." He got up to go.
"Wait!" Wolf jumped up and wrapped his arms around Logan in a hug. "Hurry back before Scott kills me," he looked at him.
Logan blinked in surprise, then hugged him back. "I'll only be gone a few days, Pup. You won't even know I'm gone."
"Yes I will."
Logan sighed and looked him in the eye. "I promise I'll see you soon. Now get back to bed, you need your rest if you're going to protect the school for me."
Wolf nodded and licked his hand again. This time he didn't get flicked. "Goodbye," he laid back down.
"Night, Pup." Logan closed the door and left.
Wolf was alert for all of the next day, but nothing happened. Then Wolverine came back.
"Bobby, I need you to come with me," Logan said, ignoring the questions of the other students. "We found out Magneto's plan, and we need your power to stop him."
"What? How can I help?" Bobby stuttered, "I'm nowhere near powerful enough to face him!"
"Just trust me," Logan pulled him to the door, "I'll explain on the way."
"Wait," Scott said, "Don't I get a report?"
"No time," Logan said, pulling Bobby outside.
They were stopped by Wolf. "Sorry, I can't let you take him," he growled.
Logan rolled his eyes. "Not now, mutt. I don't have time for this. We gotta go fight Magneto."
Wolf bared his fangs. "I'm not letting you leave!"
"Wolf, what are you doing?" Pyro tried to pull him out of the way.
Logan looked at the fight in Wolf's eyes. "Well, Wolf, of all the students, I never expected you to be the traitor."
