A Return [Open]

[Wolverine]

The sound of a motorcycle could be heard getting closer, the sun had only just rose above the horizon. As the motorcycle turned onto the driveway and through the gates it sped up a bit more before it came to a slipping halt in front of the mansion. He didn’t wear any helmet, wasn’t like he needed any. He got off his bike and put it on it’s standard before he walked up the steps. He would get it to the garage later. He knew that in this time no one would be awake yet, it was way to early for that.

He wandered into the kitchen and pulled open the fridge. There was one huge down point to coming here… he wasn’t allowed to drink beer inside the mansion, and so he was refined to soda, milk or coffee. He pulled out a bottle of coca cola and sat down at the table. His trip had been cut short very soon when he had ran into someone he had never seen before in his entire life.

[Cyclops]

It was late, or was it early? Scott didn't know, he hadn't been keeping track of the time. He had been working out that night, sleep wasn't something he spent a whole lot of time doing lately. He had stopped working out, cleaning up and drying himself off. He didn't know exactly what to do know, perhaps he could get a few hours of sleep, but he doubted it a little, he didn't sleep a whole lot since... Since the war. He walked out, hearing what sounded like a motorcycle, and he got a feeling that someone had just returned from a trip. He sighed, it was pretty obvious who it would be if that was the case, only one of the X-Men had a motorcycle.

He heard the doors open, and then someone walking towards the kitchen. He sighed again, time to check this out to be certain. He wasn't wearing his visor, he had put on his sunglasses, he didn't really see the need to be ready for a fight right then. He walked into the kitchen onto none other then Logan, otherwise known as Wolverine. He was drinking some Coca Cola, obviously he was using it in place of beer, which was strictly againts the rules in this school, Scott wouldn't hear of having that stuff in here, it wasn't as if young mutants didn't have enough problems anyways. [blue]"Back so soon Logan?"[/blue]

Scott had to admit that even though he didn't much care for Logan, seeing as how he had gotten in the way of him and Jean's relationship a few times, and ontop of that he was practicly the opposite. He didn't have much regard for authority, and he liked doing things his way all the time, a few things that Scott really didn't like about him. But regardless of all that, Scott knew it was useful to have him back, there had been many fights that Logan had been important in, and he would be important in all the fights that would be coming soon.

[Wolverine]

At someone coming to the kitchen Logan moved his cola down and set it on the table. Standing in the doorway was none other than Scott the boy scout Summers. Logan and he went back some time and mostly not in a very good way. At the words that where spoken Logan easily assumed Scott had expected him back way later. ”Wasn’t like there was much to do elsewhere… so figured I’d pay a visit.” He replied. Wouldn’t wanna let slip he had actually missed the mansion and the people in it.

Shifting a bit in his chair he leaned his elbows on the table and gazed at Scott, he seemed tired. A slight grin formed on his face. Proof not everyone could stay up nights at an end without having it take it’s toll. Logan wouldn’t admit it was thanks to his healing he was able to keep it up… certainly not in front of Scott. Taking the coca cola again he took a sip. The same grin still there. He however chose not to say anything Summers could guess.

As Virgil's flying disk landed in the large entrance of Xavier's Institute of Higher Learning, Kitty allowed a sigh of relief to escape her lips. Her expression was a bit concerned, though, due to his fatigue from the fight and much of the other running around he had been doing in Coast City while Hal was away. "I don't think anyone's awake, so you don't need to worry about seeing new faces for now." Shadowcat remarked supportively as her brown ponytail swung from side to side when she hopped off the metal disk.

The school never ceased to take her breath away every time her hazel gaze laid upon it. It was a place of healing, learning, and growing. The thought made her extremely happy, despite the professor passing away during the war. The melancholy thoughts continued to bounce around the young X-Man's mind as she took her wounded friend's arm carefully and took it around her shoulder to support him as she made her way into the building. "You can stay in my room for tonight. I'll see if I can catch a couch somewhere." She offered with a tired smile.

Scott leaned againts the wall, looking down at Logan. Scott supressed a small chuckled at his reply, it was quite obvious that Logan had grown to care for a few of these students just like Scott cared for the whole school. How could you not look after the students for so long, teach them for so long, and not feel anything for them? It was impossible for Scott, and he knew it was impossible for Logan too. He walked over to the fridge and grabbed a soda as well, popping it open and drinking a few sips, leaning back on the wall as he did so. He was starting to feel slightly tired, and soda was just what he needed to pick him back up.

[blue]"How long are you planning on staying this time Logan?"[/blue] He knew that he would probably be staying for a while, Logan wasn't as stupid as he came off to be, he knew what was going on. With the war coming to the end and everyone who took part in it being accused of commiting war crimes, it was a very dangerous time for everyone, especially the mutant comunity, the goverment wouldn't take much time to lock mutants away, and everything and everyone with any shroud of power with them too. He looked out the window and noticed that Kitty was here, along with someone else, what was going on?

[Wolverine]

”Dunno, couple of days.” He replied and followed Scott’s gaze outside, Kitty Pride, aka Shadowcat. One of the few students who could do almost everything with and around him without pissing him totally off. She had someone with her… She didn’t seem very… cheerful. Not like she normally was. He got up from the table now and looked sideways at Scott. ”Something I miss?” He asked and looked back out of the window.

Logan had been travelling from town to town, as long as he kept low and didn’t draw attention to him, he had been ok. But Scott’s thoughts where correct, he had grown to the mansion, like anyone would after spending so much time here.
