Wicked walked down the long street she looked around and walked on. She had wandered off quiet a bit, taking a bus and all. She just wanted to know where Wolverine used to live. She came by the mansion and looked at the high fence, she sighed and jumped up. She grabbed the top of the fence and pulled herself up, then jumped over. She landed on her feet and hand, now looking around she walked onto the park, not really taking note of the camara following her.

Scott had been inside the Professor's office when the silent alarm attached to the motion detectors had gone off. Flipping up the display for the security camera, he had made note of the young woman lurking across the Institute grounds, and vaguely recognized her from the Professor's files as a young woman once associated with Callisto.
Now, having left the office and gone out onto the grounds, Scott managed to track her down. He made no show of sneaking up on her, but rather approached slowly and deliberately directly in front of her. He was dressed in a simple pair of slacks, a sportcoat, and his ruby quartz sunglasses. His uniform might be a little too intimidating.
"We welcome both mutants and well-meaning humans to our campus," Scott said, as he approached, "But we do not appreciate tresspassers. May I help you, young lady?"

*BAMF* Nightcrawler popped out of nowhere behind the intruder. "Ah," he said with a smile "It's a lady..." he did a flip over her and stood next to Cyclops. "Always on your toes, eh Cyke." he said playfully, sensing no danger from the intruder.

"She ain't a tresspasser." A voice sounded from the side. "And you need to check those defences." Logan believed dead to the X-men after going on a solo mission to Japan walked from the shadows. In truth he had joined the Avengers and kept low for a long time, he didn't care what they found, or what they thought.
He walked over to Wicked and stood beside her. She did quiet well, she however could work on her skills a bit more, she got detected way to easy by the camera's. "Go back, I'll deal with things here." He said to the young girl. His eyes matched hers.

"No problem, mein freund. It is good to see you. We need to have a talk later, ya?" Nightcrawler said to Wolverine with a smile. Then, as soon he came *BAMF* he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Logan kept his eyes on Cyclops while also keeping Wicked within his sences. He knew Nightcrawler wasn't informed of his 'death'. It had taken him and am old friend of his a long time to put up the scene.
"Wicked, now." He said again looking at the girl now. "I mean it." He looked back at Cyclops.

"Go back, I'll deal with things here."
Wicked looked at him for a moment. Her eyes flashed green. "How come you can have all the fun and I get to do all the lame stuff?" She asked folding her arms.
"Wicked, now."
She sighed and let her arms hang by her body. "Fine." She replied and turned around. "At least I am good for one thing, being send away." She said and walked to the fence. She jumped up and over. "See ya at the Tower."

Cyclops remained unperturbed by Logan's sudden appearance. Whether Logan realized it or not, he'd known Logan wasn't dead. He'd gotten inklings of Wolverine's involvement with the New Avengers, and viewed it as a lack of trust that he hadn't bothered to inform the X-Men of his return.
"If the girl is a mutant, Logan," Cyclops said, sternly, "Then she should stay here. With our numbers reduced to less than 200, we need to present a united front. Especially with the politicial problems arising."

"Let her stay here?" Logan asked. "Believe me you wouldn't cut it." He looked slightly back as Wicked jumped over the fence.
"See ya at the Tower."
"Sure." He replied to her and looked back at Cyclops. "Who cares where she is, as long as she isn't alone right?" He asked him.

Cyclops hesitated slightly, and then nodded agreement. The Avengers would keep her safe. Cyclops would prefer that all the mutants were in one location, but he knew that was more than he could hope for.
"I guess you're right, Logan."
There was another pause, and then Cyclops did something that even he hadn't expected. He extended a hand for Logan to shake.
"Its good to see you back, Logan," Cyclops said, "We've had our differences... but I've appreciated your loyalty to the Professor and the X-Men over the years."

Logan looked at him. Then at Cyclop's hand. "My loyalty lies somehwere else these days." He replied. "I don't know where yours is Summers, but we shall see in time." He turned around not accapting the hand. "And for your sake, leave the girl be." He said and ran up to the fence he jumped up and over. He didn't look back as he dissapeared out of sight. The girl meant more to him than anyone ever had done.

Cyclops let his hand return to his side as Wolverine bounded to the top of the gate and vaulted over. It was all just as Scott had expected. Logan had surrendered his loyalty to the X-Men. He was an Avenger in spirit as well as in name. And if worse came to worse with the broiling conflict over the SHR Act, Scott knew where Logan would pledge himself.
Turning on a hell, Scott made his way back into the Institute.
