Devlin's Walk of Fatherly knowledge

"See you later Jamie!" I waved goodbye to my roommate with Crest at my heels in a great mood! All of my day was free of training and school that allowed me to take a day for myself. I decided to use this time to learn more about my foster father if only to get to a point that would remind me of family. The mansion was huge and full of people who knew Logan far more than I did… so plenty of people to ask right? I decided to start with the students, but because Jamie had a Test to study for I had to find my answers elsewhere. Walking down the hall was a pair of students I recognized as Evan and Kurt. I waved them down and Crest and I rushed to them.

"Hey guys!" the smiled and snickered. "What's wrong?" the waved their hands and shook their heads.

"Nothing little dude, just avoid Kitty and Rogue for a while." They looked at each other and burst into laughter and ran down the hall. Confused I made my way to the entrance to see both an angry Kitty and Rogue rushing down the hall in search of what I expected was two very dead boys. Rogue flagged me down and in a growl that made Crest shake in fear asked.

"Did you see Kurt and Evan!?" I nodded and pointed down the hall and she rushed down in a speed that I thought might be super human… or she was very angry… I'll go with angry… yep.

"What happened Kitty?" she huffed and pointed up stairs toured the room hall.

"Both Evan and Kurt were caught looking in our diaries that's what!" I heard a girlly scream echo down the halls and saw Rogue dragging a squirming Evan.

"I'm sorry Dudette! It was Kurt's idea I swear!" she tossed him infront of Kitty and I and gave him a death glare… well both of them glared. Deciding to save his life I cleared my throat getting their attention.

"I hate to interrupt but may I ask you guys something about Logan?" All of them smiled at me except for Evan who used the moment to slip out of sight.

"Sure what do yah want to know sugar?" asked Rogue.

"Well… you heard that I got a visitor right?" they nodded in recognition.

"Yah, like it was a hippy lady with huge glasses. She seemed nice." Said Kitty, I smiled. Mss. Grotke was a kind of a hippy or very much so a hippy that she got funny looks from some people. But she was a huge hearted woman and very kind.

"Yep that was my orphanage manager. She came by to let me know that my adoption was finalized." They looked shocked and a little sad.

"Oh… are you leaving shoog?" I shook my head.

"No thanks to Logan!" they stopped for a moment and then shrieked.

"Like. No. Way! Don't tell me he!" I chuckled and nodded.

"Yep I got a new dad!"

"Logan adopted you!?" the girls shrieked again as a fuzzy blue Kurt ported 'as they called it' right in front of the girls.

"Kurt!" Kitty slugged his arm and Rogue stepped on his tail holding it in place.

"Don't think we forgot about our diaries fuz-ball!" stuck in place she turned to me and smiled.

"So what did you want to ask us shoog?" I rubbed my neck a little embarrassed. Crest nudged my leg reassuring me to speak.

"Well… what can you tell me about him? I want to get to know him better… you know?" I stammered feeling stupid but she giggled and nodded knowingly.

"Alright shoog… well he's a great guy. He's protective of us and a little quite at first but a nice guy when he likes yah. He's kind of strict though." Kitty and Kurt scoffed.

"Kind of!? He's like totally a psychopath when we're in the danger room!" The last time I was in there with him I couldn't like walk for a week, and I broke a nail!" I turned to Kurt who nodded at this like it was a normal reaction to knowing Logan.

"What about you? what do you think of him?" he faked a smile and chuckled scared.

"Nothing not a thing! Logan's a great man just like Rogue said… can I go now?" Rogue sighed and lifted her foot from his tail and he vanished in a cloud of black smoke.

"Like why did you do that!?" asked Kitty.

"Don't worry, we'll chase him down latter. Anyway whatever those two said he's a good guy, but don't expect to get much info from him shoog… he's a wall of adamantium. We has his secrets that even he doesn't know." I sighed and thanked them for their time and watched as they ran after the boys. I decided to have a talk with Logan myself. So I asked around and no one knew so I sat on the stairs with Crest until I had an idea. Smiling at my idea I turned to Crest.

"My great furry Knight, will you sniff out Logan for me?" he sighed and nodded. "Wait! Do you like him Crest?" Crest turned his head and stuck him neck up.

'Offended bark.'

"What!? No! He will never take your place... I promise." He smiled at me and rushed down the halls.

'Beaconing bark!' I followed him until we were outside of the mansion and on the lawn next to the garage.

'Bark bark!' he pointed with a fuzzy paw at a door and I hugged him tightly.

"Thanks Crest."

'Loving bark.' I walked up to the door ready to talk to my new father. Yet when I approached it I heard low grunting. Confused I opened the door to find a car and under it a pair of legs.

"Logan?" he grunted a reply and continued on with whatever he was doing. "Do you have time to talk?" he grunted again but I got a few words out of him.

"Not really pup, I got my hands full but if ya give me a hand I'll talk to ya." I smiled and agreed. "OK pup do you know your tools"

"yep."

"Then hand em down when I call em ok?"

"sure." I grabbed the nearest tool box and pulled out what he called. "So, how long have you been working in the institute?" he grunted for a second probably thinking about it or working on the car.

"Since before Scott was your age. That all ya wanted to ask me pup? Hand me the wrench." I reached for it and handed it to him while taking the screwdriver I handed to him before and placed it back into the box.

"Umm… when did you find out you were a mutant?" he paused again and chuckled.

"Don't know pup… I lost my memory a while back and can't remember much other then my name. Socket wrench if ya will." now we were getting somewhere! I handed him the tool and put away the used one.

"Um… do you have a wife? Or a girl friend?" he chuckled and pulled himself out from under the car. He stood up and I gasped. He was shirtless and I saw the sweat drip down from his huge pecs onto his belly.

"Na pup… never found someone I cared for that way." He kneeled down and smirked. "Why you ask pup?" I blushed so hard that I felt dizzy. He was so sooo. Breaking me out of my stupor, Crest bit down on my shirt lifted me off the ground and walked out of the room but not without giving Logan one low menacing growl.

"Uhhh… see ya later pup."
