20 C20 : Gathering Evidence Part 3

"Oh, hey, grandpa." Nick said to Logan as he waved at him with a top hand.

"Huh?"

Logan said when he heard Nick call him grandpa, "Why are you calling me grandpa? And what did you do to these two?!" Logan asked Nick as he gestured too Hank on the sofa and Charles's depressed form, that was in front of his desk.

"Huh, oh, just defended myself, but enough about them, I want to talk about you, how have you been? It has been like 7-8 years since I've seen you. Were you able to get revenge?" Nick asked Logan as he walked over to Logan, giving him a big hug with all his arms, Nick hugged his grandfather for a couple seconds more before he gave one last squeeze and then patted him on the back with all his hands.

"Haha, I remember the last time we hugged, you were like a giant to me back then but I guess that has changed now." Nick laughed as he held Logan by his shoulder, standing over him a little with his 2meters hight.

Logan was stunned during the entire exchange, but he quickly remember what was going on, "What? Why are you acting like we know each other? And why did you call me grandpa?!" Logan asked Nick again, you could tell he was getting more agitated, his claw's still by his sides.

"Huh, you don't remember?" Nick acted surprised as he looked at Logan, "Do you have memory loss?" Nick asked Logan.

" ...How do you now that?" Logan asked Nick cautiously.

"Your my grandfather, of course I knew you have memory problems, I just thought this pervert would have fixed them by now, haah, well I'll just fix them while I'm here." Nick told Logan as he turned around to look at Charles, he then walked over too him and stood over him.

"What are you doing?" Logan asked concerned for Charles, taking a couple steps forward at the same time.

"I'm just going to shake him up a bit." Nick smiled as he answered Logan, he then put one of his top hands on Charles shoulder and pushed him back into his chair so that he was looking up and he then slapped him, hard.

There was no visible reaction from Charles.

The sound of the slap resounded throughout the room, "Wha-" Logan exclaimed stunned but before he could finish he was cut off by another loud slap that Nick delivered to the side of Charles's face.

"He doesn't appear to be snapping out of it ... oh well a couple more should do the trick." Nick said as he raised his free hand up for another slap.

"Stop!"

Right when Nick was about to bring his hand down for another slap, his hand was frozen in place.

Nick turned around to see that it was a short red head girl that had shouted out, she hand her hands out in front of her like she was holding something in place, but is was clear that she was struggling to hold her hands up.

This was of course Jean Grey, she was holding back Nick's hand from hitting the Professor's face with her telekinetic power's but she was struggling to hold him back because of how strong Nick was, if you looked closely at Jean you would see sweat break out from her forehead because of the strain she was under, 'How is he this strong?!' Jean thought to herself.

When you looked over at Nick you would see some who was calming taking a walk through the park.

Nick pushed through the telekinetic force that was trying to stop him from moving and walked over to Logan and Jean, all whilst he felt like he was walking under water.

"Isn't that cute, she's trying so hard but she still can't stop me, haha." Nick laughed at Jean as she tried to push her powers harder, but Nick just stood still with his arms crossed, next to Logan as they both looked at the struggling red headed teenager.

"Don't tease her Mr. Stark. She is just looking out for me." Charles said from behind Nick and Logan.

When Jean heard Charles she stopped her useless struggle and ran over to his side, Logan retracted his claw's and wait beside Nick to see what would happen next, it would depend on what Charles said next, if he will attack Nick or welcome him.

"Professor! Are you alright?" Jean asked Charles from his side as she leaned down to look at his face.

Charles just used his hand to guide her to his far side to that he could see Nick in front of him, "I'm alright my dear." Charles said to Jean as he still looked at Nick.

Nick just smiled back but he then went over to the sofa and grabbed Hank's still form, moving him so that he was sitting on the sofa, instead of slumped face first on top of it.

Nick then sat on the middle seat of the sofa, next to Hank and he the patted the seat on his other side as he looked at Logan, "Come on grandpa, take a seat you'll want to sit down for this." Nick said to Logan as he smiled.

Charles and Jean were shocked when they heard what Nick called Logan and they then looked to Logan for an answer, Logan just continued to look at Nick for a couple seconds before he took a seat.

Nick smiled wider at this, "Great, now where should I start... " Nick said aloud as he made a thinking face.

"Why are you calling me 'grandpa'? I don't remember having any kids." Logan asked Nick, Charles and Jean just watched from the side.

"Hahaha, because your something like my great-great-great-grandfather." Nick replied to Logan's question, he then raised all his hand in front of him and lined them up with his palms facing up, he then release his all his black stingers.

This shocked everyone in the room, including Kurama who was watching quietly from Nick's mind, the only one who wasn't surprised was Hank but that was because he was still unconscious.

"See, now if you still had all your memories you would know me, we met when you helped me make a jail break, it was the same time you got your metal skeleton and claw's." Nick explained as he retracted his stingers and then pointed at Logan's arm's.

Logan just looked stunned, "So I see that you live here now, I would have come to see you sooner but you were off the grid for quite awhile, how have you been?" Nick asked Logan again, this broke Logan from his shock and so he answered, " ...good... " But his answer was very quiet and it reflected his mindset, Logan had a lot of complex thoughts rushing though his head and so he couldn't concentrate on the current situation.

"So you are related to Logan, but that doesn't explain your other mutations Mr. Stark." Charles asked Nick.

"What did I say before Professor, you shouldn't try and figure out everyone's secrets or do you want another taste of you own medicine, I'm sure Kurama would be happy to deliver another dose, hahaha." Nick laughed at the look Charles was giving him when he mentioned when Kurama scared him out of his mind.

"What was that? That monster inside your mind? Those red eyes, how can you have a demon like that inside your mind?" Charles asked again and again, pushing for an answer to his news fear.

"You just can't help yourself can you, but I guess this is a secret that I can tell you." Nick said as he once again release a part of Kurama's chakra so that he could appear outside of Nick's body.

Kurama's sudden appearance on top of the coffee table scared Charles and Jean, Logan was still inside his own thoughts.

"What is it Kit?" Kurama asked Nick as he turned around to face him, jumping off the table and on to the floor next to Nick's feet.

"Nothing just want to get someone's attention." Nick said mysteriously.

"Those same red eyes... " Charles said under his breath, "Ahem, Mr. Stark where did this talking fox appear from? And what did you mean your trying to get someone's attention, you didn't mean me did you?" Charles asked Nick as he tried to not show how surprised he was at Kurama, Jean was have a much harder time of that thou, her face was as surprised as could be.

"Hmm, oh, this is the fox that lives inside my head, he's pretty cool right?" Nick asked rhetorically.

Charles and Jean just nodded dumbly at Nick, Kurama was holding his head up a little higher as Nick's laughter filled the room.

"Professor~! Storm told me to come get you for lunch." Shouted a young girl with brown hair as she walked into the room through the wall, this girl was of course Kitty Prude and she was using her powers to phase through the wall.

Nick stopped laughing and along with everyone else he looked at Kitty, "Hello, is there enough lunch for me as well?" Nick asked Kitty.

"Huh, your Nick Stark, what are you doing here?" Kitty asked Nick as she looked closely at him.

"Just visiting my grandpa, haha." Nick said as he patted Logan on the back making him focus on what was happening again.

"Huh, what was that?" Logan asked dazed.

"We're having lunch now, come on we can talk more over a sandwich." Nick told Logan as he walked out of the room, with Kurama following after him.

"I want a bloody stake, it's been so long since I have eaten anything." Kurama told Nick as they walked together.

"Hahaha, you were born yesterday, haha." Nick laughed.

"It still counts!" Kurama argued back.

As Nick's laughter became more difficult to hear Kitty asked everyone else in the room, "Was that a talking fox?"

"Yes my dear it was, his name's Kurama from what I've gathered, a friend of Logan's grandson." Charles explained to Kitty after he came to his senses.

"Cool." Kitty said before she ran after Nick and Kurama, "Hey! Wait for me! You don't even know where your going!" Kitty shouted as she ran after them, running through walls and closed doors as she did.

"What the hell just happened?" Jean asked the question everyone was wondering.

...

"So how can this little guy talk?" Kitty asked Nick as she lead him through the corridor's, pointing at Kurama when she asked.

"I'm not little brat! And I have a name, it's Kurama." Kurama shouted at Kitty for calling him small.

"Haha, sorry~ Kurama, I won't forget from now on." Kitty laughed playfully as she hopped in front of Kurama, stroking between his ears before he knew what was happening.

A depressed looked overcame Kurama's face, "Forget the stake just let me back in." He said to Nick defeated.

Nick laughed as Kurama turned back into chakra that flowed into Nick's body.

"How'd you do that?" Kitty asked as she watch curiously.

"He's made from my energy, now where is the kitchen?" Nick asked Kitty as he stopped in the middle of the corridor.

"Come on! I'll take you right there!" She shouted as she grabbed one of Nick's hands and started dragging him towards a wall, she ran through that wall and several more after that and the whole tine she was pulling Nick through them with her.

She only stopped when she reached the kitchen, "We're here~." Kitty shouted out as she used a free hand to gesture to the kitchen as if it was something amazing and it needed to be shown off.

"Thanks, but how long are you going to hold my hand, I my have three more but you don't and can't eat with just one." Nick said to Kitty as he lifted up his hand that was still in her's.

"Huh?" Kitty exclaimed without thinking, her cheeks then turned to a red hew, she was embarrassed that she didn't realize that she was still holding his hand.

"Sorry, haha." Kitty apologized as she let go of Nick's hand and she then started looking down at her feet embarrassed when she started to think about how big his hands were, compared to her tiny one's.

"Don't worry I'm only teasing, haha." Nick laughed as he patted her on the top of her head and he then walked over the island in the middle of the kitchen that had an dark skinned woman with white hair on the other side of it, "So what is there to eat in this place?" Nick asked the woman, that he instantly recognised as Storm.

Storm just stood there surprised that Nick was standing in front of her, "Your Nick Stark, what are you doing here?" She asked after she came back to her sense's.

Before Nick could get a word out Kitty popped up beside him, "He's visiting Logan, apparently he's Nick's grandfather. How old is Logan anyway?" Kitty first told Storm but then directed her question towards Nick, already having gotten over her past shyness.

"At least a 150 years old or more." Nick answered straight forwardly.

"Oh~." Kitty said back.

"So what do have to eat around here? I could eat one if my arms off at this point." Nick asked Storm again as he leaned on the island.

"Mmm, I was just making everyone sandwiches, your welcome to have one." Storm said as she moved two places with a sandwich on them towards Nick and Kitty.

"Thanks." Nick said before he started eating, Kitty followed his lead and was also eating her sandwich joyfully.

Storm just stood and watched as they ate, she looked like she was still a little stunned at what was happening, it's not everyday you meet a celebrity after all, especially one she has kind of a small crush on.

As Nick was eating his tail began to wag, show that he was happy, "This is a good sandwich, thanks again." Nick thanked Storm between bites.

Storms cheeks got a pink tint to them when she saw Nick's tail wag, 'that is so cute, like a puppy... ' She thought to herself, but she didn't know that Nick was also listening in, 'A puppy? Do I look like I have floppy ears and a wet tongue sticking out of my mouth.' Nick thought angrily, as he took a big bite out of the sandwich.

"Hey kid, you said you can help me regain my memories? Can we do it now?" Logan called out to Nick as he, Charles, Jean and a now awake Hank who looked like he wanted to hit something.

"Sure, but not here, I don't trust anyone to leave my body to as I fix your mind." Nick explained as he looked at Storm for a half second, he then quickly finished off his sandwich and then wiped his hand on a tea towel that was on the island.

"I'm gonna teleport us to my home, we can do it there, oh and a heads up, teleporting feels like flying which I know you hate, but I'm sure you can suck it up, hahaha!" Nick laughed as he placed a hand on Logan's shoulder, Logan's face fell at the mention of flying.

"Wait! Mr. Stark, I'm sure that you can trust us and if not me, at least trust that we all just want the best for Logan." Charles said as he tried to convince Nick to stay, so that he could watch Nick work, especially if he wasn't lying about returning Logan's memories.

"Nope, I don't trust anyone here besides grandpa," Nick said as he patted Logan on the back with another one of his hands, but he then said, "I especially don't trust her with my body, I'm not a f'ing puppy!" Nick said loudly as he pointed at Storm with the end of his tail.

He teleported away as soon as he finished speaking, everything was left shocked, but Storm was even more so, "He heard that... " She mumbled quietly to herself, but because it was so quiet in the kitchen everyone heard her.
