" Arhh! Alright everyone hit the showers. You come with me; the professor wants to meet you."
Logan said to the boy who ignored him and followed Rahne.
" Alex, I need ye to listen to logan and meet with the professor. Do as they sey and ye'll be fine. I will see ye later. Oh, nd before I forget. Welcome to the institute."
Rahne said to the boy before walking off towards the showers.
The boy nodded at the girl before making his way over to Logan.
" Alright, come on let's go."
Logan said to the boy.
"Mm."
The boy growled as he nodded in agreement.
He followed Logan through the mansion taking in all of the sights and making note of the layout in its entirety.
"Hm?"
The boy growled curiously as they walked through the mansion.
" Yeah, I know how ya feel kid. Felt the same when I first arrived here myself. But you get used to it after a while."
Logan explained to the boy seemingly able to understand his growling.
" Hm."
The boy growled again.
" Yeah, I hear ya kid. Anyway, here we are. Do me favor kid, show some respect to the professor, without him none of us would be here. Alright?"
Logan explained.
" Hm."
The boy growled and nodded in agreement.
Logan nodded and opened the door to the professor's office to see the professor and storm in the middle of a conversation.
" Oh logan, I didn't realize you were back. And you must be... Hm? I don't think you ever told me if he had a name Logan."
Charles said to the man as he introduced himself.
" Well, he apparently doesn't have one until Rahne gave him one anyway."
Logan explained.
" You didn't have a name? What did your captors call you all these years my boy?"
Charles asked again, with sympathy in his voice.
" Hm."
The boy growled and pulled a chain out of his torn-up pants.
" I see."
Logan said.
" He doesn't speak? What did he say Logan?"
Storm asked in confusion.
" He said Captain."
Logan replied as he pointed to the chain the boy was holding up.
" I see, Dog Tags. Where you one of their soldiers?"
Charles asked.
The boy didn't respond at all this time.
" I see, I can understand not wanting to dwell on those memories of the past. Instead let me welcome you my boy to my school for gifted individuals like yourself. I've done some research on you while you were traveling here, and I must say I'm surprised another mutant with the ability to transform into a wolf has appeared. Would you mind giving us a demonstration of your abilities?"
Charles asked the boy.
" You saying he's wolf boy like Rahne? No wonder he smelled like a dog."
Logan stated as he waved the air around his nose. Being a feral mutant Logan had a heightened sense of smell, so things one wouldn't normally be able to smell, logan could.
" Charles, perhaps our new friend should be allowed to clean-up first. I'm sure you must be tired after the long journey here."
Storm stated.
The boy nodded his head.
" Very well. Logan if you could take... Oh pardon me I still don't know what to call you. What name did Rahne give him?"
Charles asked.
" Alexander. But that's it still no last name."
Logan stated.
" Hm."
The boy growled and held out the dog tags.
" Okay, seems like he doesn't want us using that name. He wants you to call him Captain I guess."
Logan replied.
" Okay. Logan, please show captain to the showers and his new room. Storm is right, we can have proper introductions tomorrow. We'll also need to do some physical tests as well. So, get proper rest. I will see you tomorrow."
Charles said to the boy before Logan led him out of the room.
" Come on Kid the showers are this way. The others should be out by now. Usually what they do afterwards is none of my business. But after a mission everyone else usually goes straight to bed. I'll also need to get you some clothes to wear."
Logan explained as the two walked through the mansion towards the showers.
" Here you go kid. There should be soap and other things inside. I'll be here with a new set of clothes for you to wear by the time you're done washing up. Now, off you go."
Logan said to the boy.
The boy nodded and walked into the shower room. Stripped down and began washing the filth from his body. The black grime and dirt slowly left the boy's hair revealing a head full of snow-white hair and underneath all of that dirt was a boy with tan skin. Once he finished washing the remaining dirt from his body the boy exited the shower without anything to cover himself. He stepped out into the hallway and was once again greeted by Logan.
" Yo, here kid. Put this on."
Logan said as he threw the boy a pair of sweats and a hoodie.
The boy nodded at Logan and put the clothes on.
" All right, follow me kid."
Logan waved to the boy.
Logan led the boy up down the hall to an empty room and told the boy to sleep and be ready for tomorrow. Since it would be not only his introduction to the rest of the students, but it was also going to be the day he showed the rest of them what he could do.
The boy did as he was told and went to sleep without further hesitation.
The next day was a day full of surprises for everyone.
