Animal Magnetism

The next morning I awoke by a pillow being thrown at my way. I grabbed it in mid-air and glared at Logan. I stood up and stretched allowing my claws to withdraw and my tail to make it's way out. I grabbed everything that I owned here, as did Kayla and we made our way to the jet. The small group of three didn't look too happy, I knew the dark one was making the clouds with her anger. I brushed it off and went on the jet. Kayla followed and with my super sensitive ears I heard Logan explain why there was a delay. I heard him say that I just wanted to get close to him.

"I wouldn't think so highly of yourself wolf-boy."

I smirked as I heard him growl at me. I knew the one called Storm put her hand on his shoulder to make him stop. I looked over at Kayla who was sitting in the seat next to mine; she nodded in my direction.

'So Sam what do we have?'

'Well Kayla the one with the white hair, her name is Ororo known as Storm she can manipulate weather, the guy's name is Bobby or Iceman controls ice of course. That would be his girlfriend Marie or Rogue she isn't too touchy-feely with people. And by the vibes I get when Logan looks at her he seems to be a father figure.'

She nodded again as the jet started to take off.

"So," said Rogue. "Shall we tell you our powers?"

"Nah, Sam has filled me in on what you three do."

Rogue looked a little surprised at what Kayla had just said to her. I smiled and filled her in.

"Charles did fill you in on what our powers are hasn't he?"

"Yeah he has." Spoke Bobby Drake.

"Well then you know that I can tell a mutants abilities and strengths just by them being around me."

"Oh yeah that's right it seemed to have slipped my mind." Said Rogue in her southern accent. I think I like this girl I thought to myself.

"Don't worry Rogue things like that happen to Sam all of the time."

I glared and let out a small growl, Kayla knew I was only joking though. The rest of the ride was really uneventful, mainly Kayla and I got to know Storm, Bobby and Rogue a little better. At least I know I'll have some friends there, besides Kayla of course. From the aerial view of the mansion it seemed bigger then it was described. It was also very beautiful. As the jet docked I picked up my bag and got ready to get off, Kayla then nudged me and I looked over my shoulder to see what she wanted me to see.

I saw Logan staring at me so I gave him a smile with my fangs showing. He looked away quickly, as I left out a small laugh then followed Storm to Xavier's office. On my way there I was thinking about the man they called Wolverine, I guess he wasn't so bad. I felt connected to him, well our pasts are similar and so are our personalities. Maybe that was a defect of Stryker.

"Something wrong Sam?" Said Kayla.

"Couldn't you have read her mind?" Logan looked at her confusedly.

"I can shut off what I don't want to be found out."

After I had said that he went back to his own thoughts, I decided not to pry and looked at Kayla.

"Yeah I'm fine just thinking about how awesome it will be to make new friends."

"Yeah that's true Sam but don't go finding a new best friend on me."

"That you don't have to worry about." We stopped outside of a door and Storm looked at both of us.

"Are you two ready?" The both of us nodded, she then opened up the door to reveal a large office.

"Ladies please sit." Spoke a voice, which happened to be Xavier's.

Beside him sat a man who had dark blue fur. I didn't have to the power I did to know he was called Beast. Kayla and I sat down in the chairs that sat in front of the large mahogany desk. Xavier had a pleasant yet welcoming smile on his face.

"How was your trip? I understand the nights stay was your doing Sam."
"
Yes Sir, but the trip was great."

"Kayla, Sam you are probably wondering why you are here?"

We nodded our heads. He then went on to explain that Magneto would be looking for us, mainly me for something he needs. Xavier didn't know what that something was but he said that he might go after Kayla since she's the only person I trust and the only family that I have. He also said that he has found a new mutant that might pose a threat to both the Brotherhood and the X-Men.

"Now are there any other questions."

Kayla spoke up; "you haven't introduced us to the man behind you."

"This is Dr. Hank McCoy." Both Kayla and I stood up and shook his hand.

"Oh and don't worry you two I have told the staff about your powers, and I can assure you that your two new friends Rogue and Bobby will tell the other students of your abilities. Now Kayla I would like you to follow Storm to your room, and Sam follow Logan."

I nodded my head and did as I was told. As I followed Logan a step behind him I couldn't help but look down. I smirked and looked up, he looked back and raised an eyebrow. We stopped after what seemed like hours.

"Well kid here's your room and if you need anything my rooms across the hall." I glared.

"Thanks." He then turned at the sound of his door opening, "if you call me kid one more time I'll start calling you Gigi."

I then made him go flying into his room and shut his door. As I looked at my room I couldn't help but notice that whoever set up all of my things did an excellent job. I noticed I had a nice sized desk, a dresser with a large mirror attached and my own bathroom. My bed was queen size and my closet suited me well, not to big and not too small. I walked over to the bookshelf and grabbed The Godfather and headed outside. I took a seat at the fountain and opened the book. When a little while had passed I felt a presence coming my way. I looked up to see a guy who had blue skin, a demon-like tail and yellow eyes.

"May I sit down?"

"Sure thing the names Sam by the way."

"I'm Kurt, also known as Nightcrawler, have you got an X-name yet?"

"No I don't."

He smiled, I returned his smile as, I heard a little bit of an accent as he talked I knew it was German.

"Vell, I guess ve have to give you one."

"Well," I said, "how about Tigress since my tail is tiger stripped."

He smiled, "I like it."

We talked for awhile and then we walked to the kitchen for supper. Afterwards I found Kayla and we went to my room. She had told me she met a girl named Kitty and that I'd have to meet her tomorrow. She also told me about a guy named Remy LeBeau known as Gambit.

"He's Cajun and he is very good looking. So did you meet anyone?"

"Yeah his name is Kurt or Nightcrawler, he's blue."

"Sweet."

"Oh Sam I have an X-name now it's Wind Speaker."

"Awesome mine's Tigress, thanks to the help of Kurt."

We let out giggles and talked for a couple of hours and then she left. I then had a shower and pulled on my favourite pair of pyjamas and let my tail slide through the hole I made. I then turned off the light and had the best sleep that night.
