7 7. Vehicle Shopping.

"So what kind of car are you going to get?" Jean asks.

"Probably a muscle car. I'll see what they have though." I chuckle as we pull into the Bayville Car dealership.

We drive around the lot for a bit. However they dont have a good selection of old school cars.

"Might as well get a big truck then, I can always put a camper in the back and make it into a secret base." I laugh.

"I doubt you'll be able to pick up girls with a camper truck." Jean smirks.

"Damn, guess your right. Might as well get that Charger over there." I sigh in fake resignation.

Over in the corner was a black 69 dodge charger with a price tag of 27,000.

It was in real nice condition.

"Alright then." Jean says parking the jeep.

"Do you want to do the negotiations?" I ask with a smile.

"Delighted to." She grins as I hold the door open for her.

Poor dealer didnt even know what hit him. Knocked the price right down to 20 grand. i put a down payment of 2000 and could pay more anytime I had the cash, until then I only needed to pay 300 a month.

Of course I was going to be paying more, I wanted it full paid off as soon as possible. I also got full coverage insurance.

God knows what kind of crap happens around the mansion.

After the car was registered and everything we drove back to the mansion to drop off the jeep.

Apparently the professor was up and about, with a massively swollen jaw.

Sadly he couldn't talk and he didnt want to chance using telepathy and have another chat with the pheonix. So he left us alone after writing down a quick apology.

"So where too now?" I ask.

"Let's grab some lunch and then head to the supermarket and get your school supplies." Jean says.

"Gunna have to show me where to go." I hip into my new car and start it up listening to the engine roar.

Probably will take it in and have it looked over and parts swapped out. Maybe get a nice little restore project going on.

Jean directs me to the nearest burger joint and then we head off to the supermarket where I pick up my school supplies for monday.

Jean also picked out some air freshener and seat covers for the car. "Believe me, with how messy Kitty can get you'll want seat covers. She has a habit of phasing while having drinks in her hand on accident." Jean says with a sigh.

"Fair point." I pick up some other car accessories and we head back to the mansion in my now Hawaiin scented car.

"So want me to drive you clothes shopping tomorrow as thanks for helping me out?" I ask the girl.

"I though you'd never ask, of course we can't forget Kitty and Rogue. They also helped." She says with a smirk.

I just smile "Sure, guess I can lose a day to carrying bags."

"Good answer." She says patting my cheek.

As we exit the car, its suddenly swarmed by curious teens.

"Oooh nice ride!" Rogue says looking at the American Muscle car fondly.

"Thanks, I figure it would also be a nice project to work on." I smile before grabbing Kurt by the scruff of his shirt as he tries to climb through the window. "Use the door like a normal human being, not a monkey. Also if you get fur everywhere I'll make you vacuum it out." I had bought a doggy vacuum just for that reason.

He just chuckles and rubs the back of his head. "No worries man I only shed during the winter and start of the summer."

"You get to ride with scott then." I laugh.

The next couple minutes was spent asking about our day and what we did. Most of them were excited I would be going to school with them.

Scott seemed mostly displeased that Jean liked to be around me. Even more so when Jean asked Rogue and Kitty to come shopping tomorrow.

However I caught a hint of mockery on Jean's face once she saw scott.

Seems she really doesn't like him much.

Guess being able to read everyone's deepest thoughts kind of turns you off to normal people. Just people thinking pervy thought all the time and the minds of teenage boys must be awful and gross. Mine sure was when I was younger.

Suddenly the sound of the garage opening and a motorcycle filled the air.

In drove the one and only wolverine. He looked smaller and hairier than I remembered.

He looked around for a bit after spotting us.

"Nice car, you a new student?" he asks holding out his hand for a shake.

I shake it and steal his healing factor, anti aging abilities, instincts, and apparently he could learn combat skills at an advanced rate, increased strength and speed, and extendible claws.

"Yep, Ryan Grim." I shake his hand with equal force.

"Nice grip you got there bub." He grins shaking his hand slightly.

"Thank so you are?" I ask.

"Logan, combat and martial arts teacher." He says in a gruff voice. "I also do some maintenance around the mansion."

"Pleasure to meet you." I laugh as this is probably who storm called to fix the mansion.

"Same, anyway I got some work to do. Storm mentioned something about a massive hole in the living room?" He asks looking at the students who just point at Jean.

"My powers got out of control." She just shrugs.

"I see well I better go look at the damage." Logan says before heading off inside followed by Scott.

Probably to spill the beans on what happened.

Didn't seem too rude to me.

Ah well, the girls go back to talking about the shopping trip tomorrow while the 2 remaining guys head off to go skateboarding. I just pull out my phone and start browsing the internet. I want to purchase some stocks from Stark but I have no idea how to do that. Never bought stocks before.
