Chapter 1

Dead Ends End

Another dead end, Logan thought as he sat down at the bar. The professor had been sure that this time would be the time they would find the previous leader of the X-men. A month after Alcatraz and the Phoenix's death, both the Professor and Jean had come back from the dead.

Although everyone had at first been wary of her, Jean had explained that the entity that Logan had killed, had not been her. Before she had been crushed by the waters at the lake, an entity known as Phoenix Force had duplicated Jean's form and left her in a pod in the bottom of the bay.

Once the Phoenix had died Jean had managed to get free and bring the Professor back. Bringing the Professor back however had cost her her telepathy, but her telekinesis was now much more powerful. She and the Professor had returned a week after Alcatraz.

The only person who was still missing was Cycolps. Jean had no idea what the Phoenix had done to him, but everyone knew it couldn't have been good. The Professor had managed to find a weak signal from Cyke in Cerebro. That had been five leads ago. Five dead ends.

Logan was beginning to think they would never find him.

"What can I get you?"

The quiet voice pulled Logan from his thoughts. Looking up to order, Logan's smirk died on his face.

The bright blue eyes looking at him questioningly were new, but he recognized the smell, apple and musk, and the rest of the body of the man standing in front of him. All that time searching and he should've just come into the bar. He grinned when he thought of telling 'Ro about this.

Clearing his throat, Scott shifted uncomfortably in front of him. There was no hint of recognition on his face and Logan couldn't drag his eyes away from the blue eyes looking back at him. It was one of things that had annoyed him the most about the kid.

How was he supposed to gauge his reaction if he couldn't see his eyes? They were the window to almost everyone's soul.

"Buddy?" Scott said leaning forward slightly, "Can I get you something to drink?"

"Beer," Logan replied gruffly not able to keep a grin off his face. Scott gave him a wary smile in return and turned to get his drink. Logan shifted on the stool. His aim had been to find Cyke, which he had, but he hadn't really planned any more than that.

He hadn't thought Cyke would have memory loss. This was really more 'Ro or the Professors' domain. Maybe if he could get him to come back to the mansion? Then the others could take it from there. He had done his part of the mission after all. He'd found the kid.

But how to convince the kid to come with him?
