Animal Instincts
Chapter 4
X-men Evolution

Summary: What if Wolverine and Sabretooth were also teenagers during the series? What would they be like with the others and each other?

A.N.: So, again supposed to be doing my math homework, I see a pattern going on here, but yeah, so I am now going to write more! YAY!

And now I’m in class and not doing my work! YAY! But I am probably going to write the next chapter fairly soon after this one. I just couldn’t decide if I would go on, or just end it for this chapter. So, I found a good ending space, and ended the chapter.

For the next few days, James felt like he was just going through the motions. He woke up, went to school, came home, did his homework, a training session, ate dinner, did the dishes and went to bed. There was no fighting, hanging out with other friends who weren’t part of the institute, and every time he tried to get near Sabretooth, somebody would come and drag him away. It was completely obnoxious.

James was lying in bed, having a hard time falling asleep. He was tired of being stuck in the mansion, sessions in the danger room weren’t helping one bit, and that used to be his favorite part of the day.

He sat up in bed and ran his hand over his face and then through his hair, trying to decide whether or not he wanted to leave and get in even more trouble or stay and be miserable. Being that he was a teenage boy, he chose the one that was going to get him into more trouble, if he got caught.

James quickly pulled out some jeans and a shirt, then quickly opened the window and jumped out, bare foot. He sniffed the air trying to find where everybody was, hoping nobody was near this side of the house, and just in bed. Being satisfied with his findings, he quickly ran across the yard and climbed the gate. He then started to walk the direction of the Brotherhood house, which wasn’t very close.

James sniffed the air again, and looked behind him, and watched as a black car pass for the third time. He sniffed the air and walked into an alley and hid behind some trashcans. The car drove by again and he growled. He watched as some guys got out of the car and cussed, looking around for, what James assumed to be, him. One of the men glared as he took as his phone to make a call.

He felt something rubbing against his shin, and looked down to see what it was. He quietly shooed the cat away and but the cat decided it didn’t like that decision and decided to hiss, then jumped on one of the trashcans, effectively knocked it over, making a large amount of noise. The men looked over in James general direction and one of the men was told to go check it out.

James stood up and started to run in the opposite direction. He looked in front of him and noticed the dead end. James stopped right before the wall and looked up and around, and then ran to a fire escape. He stood under it and looked up. He jumped trying to reach it but came off an inch to short.

“Damn my short stature!” He growled out.

He grabbed a garbage can and brought it under the ladder, and then climbed on top of it, and climbed up the ladder, James cussed as a bullet flew past his head, and climbed faster. He then started running up the stairs, keeping low to the platform.

“Hey, dumbass, don’t shoot we have to bring him in unharmed!” Yelled one of the men, he seemed to be the leader. “Go around the building.” He pointed at another guy, “You stay here. I’m going up. He will not get away.”
James watched as the men surrounded the exits, and James desperately tried to think of away out of this. The man got to the top of the fire escape, and grinned at the boy.

“Well, boy you’re trapped so why don’t you just come peacefully, and then we don’t have to hurt you.” Said the man, with a arrogant tone.

“I ain’t going nowhere wit’ ya bub.” Said James, pretty pissed that the guy was underestimating him.

James crouched and jumped at the older man. He tackled the guy to the ground and punched him the face, blood poured out of the man’s nose. The man grabbed James by the arms and reversed their positions, and then turned James so he was lying on his stomach. James bucked against the man’s hold, and pushed the guy off him, he then kicked the guy in the stomach.

“Fuck this kid.” He grabbed the gun out of his holster, and used the butt of it, to knock out James.

James slumped down to the ground, but before he hit the ground the guy caught him. He then through the dark haired boy over his shoulder and climbed down the fire escape.

“I thought you said he was to be brought in unharmed.” Asked the man at the bottom of the fire escape.

“Yeah, well, nobody told me how tough this kid is.” He handed James to the other man and jumped down from the ladder.

They walked to the car and slid him in, and drove off out of town
