Chapter 1

An Unexpected Visitor

The moon glinted outside the windows of the Xavier Institute, but no one was paying it much attention. The occupants of the mansion had just returned from another X-Men mission. Most had just retired to their bedrooms and mercifully soft beds, but a small group had still gathered in the Infirmary, in need of medical attention. Among this group were Jamie, Bobby, Tabby, and Rogue. Jamie and Tabby were both scrapped up, but only needed a few bandages, but Bobby had a sprained ankle and Rogue's arm had been fractured during the mission.

"Ow." Rogue said in a flat voice as Mr. McCoy bandaged her left arm. "Sorry Rogue, but it could be worse. You're lucky it's only a small fracture and not completely broken." he reminded her. She glanced at his kind face for a moment before replying, "Yeah, I guess." Once Hank had finished with her arm and gave her some pain medication, he told her she could stay in her room if she wished. Rogue nodded in agreement and quickly escaped to the silent upper levels of the mansion and finally to the safety of her familiar bed.

It seemed like she had only closed her eyes for a minute before she was being woken by the security alarms blaring through the empty halls. 'All X-men dress and prepare to fight if needed and meet in the front of the mansion as soon as you can.' Professor Xavier's voice rang through her head as well as everyone else's.

With a groan she slipped from the warm confines of her sheets and she changed into her X-Men uniform. She ran from her room, wiping the sleep from her eyes and met up with Kitty. "Hey Kit." she greeted her best friend. "…-rning –ouge…" she mumbled, obviously still half-asleep and exhausted from the mission, but becoming more aware each minute.

They were some of the first to reach the entrance of the X-mansion. As they stepped out into the cool night air, they found Logan, of course, Ororo, Professor Xavier, Scott, Jean, and Kurt were already assembling into battle positions. "Half-pint, next to Red and Shades. Stripes, between Elf and me." Logan growled the orders without even glancing at them. His eyes were scanning the surrounding land and he was trying to catch the scent of the intruder, but the wind was blowing upwind instead of down wind, making it basically impossible. He growled in frustration, but Rogue's attention was redirected towards the doors of the mansion as more X-Men filed out. Iceman, Multiple, Cannonball, Boom Boom, Magma, Wolfsbane, and the recently joined Gambit and Pyro all took up defensive positions behind the first line.

"You know who it is Chuck?" Wolverine growled. Xavier opened his eyes and replied, "Yes. Everyone can go back to bed. There isn't a threat." "What?! You mean we got up in the middle of the night and don't even got to fight! Blimey, that don't seem fair mate!" Pyro exclaimed. "Yes John. That is exactly what is happening." The Professor said calmly. "Don't complain Pyro or it'll be a week of 5 a.m. danger room sessions." Logan threatened.

Rogue groaned at the wasted time when she could have been sleeping. "Well than Ah'm goin' back ta bed." She groaned while walking back inside. "Yes all students should be getting back to bed." Ororo ushered them back towards the entrance. "But-" Bobby started to complain, but was cut off by Storm. "Now." She ordered, the wind blowing a touch harder.

A chorus of "fines" and "nights" accompanied the group of deterred teens as they left the three adults. "Who is it Chuck?" Logan growled once the last student had passed through the doors and had closed the entrance.

Xavier stared over his arched fingers at the forest around the school. "An unexpected visitor."
