Chapter 5: New Student at Xavier's Institute (Part 1)

LOGAN'S POINT OF VIEW:

I was pacing back and forth outside.

What was taking so long?

"Uh, Logan? Can we go yet?" Evan known as Spyke asked from a distance. I glanced over at him, shook my head and he sighed heavily.

"C'mon, it's been like, twenty minutes." Kitty known as Shadowcat demanded.

Shrugging my shoulders; I glanced over at the mansion. Charles was slowly pushing Francesca out the front door, to the training center that I was teaching. I inwardly groaned, as did the rest of them. I don't think that they liked Francesca any more than I did.

Francesca was wearing an x-men uniform.

Had to say, she did look rather good looking...

I shook my head and rolled my eyes.

This was as bad as me having a crush on Rogue and Jean. Speaking of Rogue and Jean...? Where were they for their training?

Snarling; just as Francesca came this way. I pushed past her, bumping her shoulder. I stalked up the stairs to Charles. "Where are Rogue and Jean?"

"With the other kids I'm afraid." Charles said, watching Francesca enter the group quietly and everyone moved away from her on instinct.

"Why?" I asked, glancing over at Charles.

"Mentally, they don't want to take any chances with Francesca. Her powers may be controlled, but for all the wrong reasons."

"So?" I asked, "Why couldn't they come here?"

Charles looked at me funny. "Logan, I'm afraid that they don't want to be around her. These other two kids are the ones that agreed to be near her."

I blinked and frowned. Now actually noticing that only Evan and Kitty were around meant sort of like a big deal. I huffed and crossed my arms. "Looks like to me that they don't wanna get to know her." I raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Logan. I'm afraid so. Even Kurt being his funny self, wants to stay clear away from Francesca."

Huffing I walked away from Charles and back towards where the three kids were standing and waiting. Running a hand through my hair I sighed heavily, "Guess training is cancelled for today kids."

"What? I woke up at like seven in the morning for this?" Kitty grumbled and then stormed away.

"Ah, man." Evan looked sad and walked behind Kitty.

Francesca didn't move or say anything. She just narrowed her eyes at me.

"What?" I snarled at her.

She shook her head, "I told you. Stay away from me." I squinted my eyes as she walked in the opposite direction, towards the woods.

"Don't get lost. Dinner is at five!" I shouted out to her.

She glanced back over her shoulder and flipped her middle finger at me.

Snarling and shaking my head, I walk away from her and run back up into the mansion.
