Marvel : Nightwing

X-Men

It has been nearly a week since Charles Xavier a mid forties man telepath with a bald head detected the presence of the mutant in Queens, New York and he decided to bring along Logan, Jean Grey and Scott Summers to help with the search.

16-year-old Scott Summers, code name "Cyclops,"is a fairly tall, well-built young man, with short, dark brown hair, a light complexion, and blue eyes. He has a mutation that allow his eyes to be able to produce deadly, concussive force-beams to shoot from his eyes. Unfortunately due to a brain injury from an accident as a child he has no control over his ability forcing him to wear red ruby-quartz shades all the time to hold back his blasts and he is the Professor's first recruit. Professor Charles Xavier had given him the shades to control his powers and had given him a new lease of life to be able to see again.

Jean Grey is a tall, slender young woman of 16, with long, ruby-red hair, emerald eyes, and a light complexion. She is also a mutant with telekinetic and telepath ability.

Logan, A.K.A. "Wolverine" is a fairly tall, well-built man, seemingly in his forties, with short, black hair, dark eyes, and dark complexion. His mutant ability gave him heightened senses and incredible healing powers. He also has adamantium reinforced skeleton, with retractable razor-sharp claws.

They decided against using the Velocity to go to Queens, New York since it will be very hard to land the Black Bird on the rooftops.

With that in mind, the X-Men decided to take the van since it is only 17 km away from the X-Mansion's Westchester County, New York. They had spent the last few nights searching for the mutant but it proofed to be difficult. The reason for that is because they can't seem to read the mutant's thoughts and they don't know how he looked like except the direction where the mutant is and that he is a male.

Tracking the mutant proof to be a hard task due to the mutant's speed because each time they reach the location that the mutant is supposed to be, the mutant would have fled the scene which annoyed Logan to no end. Logan walks up to Charles and said "Any progress yet Chuck?"

Charles replied. "No, nothing yet" with Logan growling at his reply.

"He can't hide forever and I can't wait to get my hand on him for all the troubles that he has put us through!" replied Logan angrily sending shivers to Scott's and Jeans's spine.

The X-men suspected that mutant has super speed mutation which is strongly disagreed by the professor. The only clues they have so far of the mutant is his scent and that the mutant is always at crime scenes where Nightwing will appear. With Logan smell tracking ability they finally managed to catch up to the mutant.

"Where is he?" said Scott feeling frustrated.

"He is nearby!" replied The Professor with Logan agreeing while sniffing the air before finally looking upward.

Logan said "There he is and looks like he notice us too!". Looking upward they saw a man in black and blue costume with a mask standing on top of the rooftop looking downward at them.

Jean seeing the man whispered "It's Nightwing!".
