Chapter 10-The Return

*Logan’s POV-Three Weeks Later*

It was a Saturday morning so Charles and I lay in bed. It was already 10. “Charles...” I murmured against his ear as he pretended to sleep. “I know you’re awake...” His lips twitched slightly, proving my case. “I should probably leave soon...before someone comes looking for you. I have to help run a Danger Room session in an hour anyway.” Charles’ eyes opened slowly, smiling gently at me. As far as we knew, no one realized we were sleeping together. We thought it better if we didn’t tell anyone, just yet anyway.

“I know Logan.” He rolled over to stroke my chest softly. “I would like to keep you here all day.”

“I’d like to stay here all day.” I agreed, locking eyes with him I whispered, “I love you.” His eyes showed a sadness, and I tried not to show how much that hurt me. He must have seen it, because he pulled me down and kissed me so sweetly I felt like crying. ‘Wait a minute!! I don’t wanna cry...do I?’ When Charles pulled back I shook my head, trying to clear the unusual feeling.

“Are you alright?” Charles asked, cupping my cheek in his hand.

“I’m fine.” I said, smiling and kissing the palm of his hand, loving the blush that sprung upon his face. I leaned down and kissed him deeply, toying with his tongue. When I pulled back he traced my lips softly with his fingers. They them moved up my face to stroke through my hair, rubbing my scalp soothingly. I felt myself relaxing into the bed, my eyes drooping. “C-charles...” I muttered, my voice thick as I fought to stay awake. “If ya don’t stop, I’m gonna fall asleep here.” He stopped, pulling his hand out of my hair.

“Sorry, I just love the feeling of your hair.” I smiled, leaning forward to kiss him quickly.

“That’s alright, I don’t mind when you do that. Just not when I have things to do.”

“I know, I’ll see you later though, right?” he questioned me. I nodded.

“Of course, love.” I stroked his cheek softly before slipping out of bed to find my clothes. I pulled them on quickly and moved to the door. Glancing back as I opened it, I let my eyes roam over Charles as he lay naked in the bed, and wanted nothing more than to crawl back in and stay there for the whole day. “I’ll see you later.” I said softly, waving slightly before slipping out of the room. I hurried to my own room, needing to shower and change before the Danger Room session.

*Logan’s POV*

“Bobby, over here!!” I yelled to the boy as I crouched behind a short brick wall. He dove over it and landed next to me.

“Man!! I hate these kinds of missions!!” Bobby complained, squatting next to me. I grinned at him and patted his shoulder.

“It’s good practice kid!!” I said, laughing at his expression. The kid’s were playing a sort of war game. They were divided into two groups, Kitty, Colossus, and Jubilee were on one team with Hank leading them. And Rogue, Kurt and Bobby were on the other with me leading them. Storm was running the Danger Room controls. The idea was to use you’re powers to capture the other team and put them in the area deemed the ‘jail’. Once captured, you couldn’t use your powers to break out, only your teammates could break you out. If everyone on a team was captured, the other team won. (Obviously!!)

“We’re in trouble man!” Bobby said, looking over the wall. “It’s two against three!!” Their group had captured Colossus, while the other group had captured both Rogue and Kurt.

“Yeah,” I started, grinning madly. “But they don’t have me on their team!!” Bobby laughed and I told him my plan.

* * * * * * * *

“What are they doing over there?” Kitty asked, straining to see Logan and Bobby.

“Probably planning something.” Jubilee said, her head poking above the wall as well.

“They’re coming.” Hank said, moving behind the two girls. Logan charged from behind the wall, strangely he was carrying Bobby on his back in his iced form. “What on Earth?” Hank muttered. “Let’s go!” He commanded. The three of them jumped over the wall, racing towards the two figures. Once in range, Logan tossed Bobby towards the two girls who were close together. Kitty gasped, quickly grabbing Jubilee and phasing them through him. The two girls jumped at the sound of ice breaking.


*Logan’s POV*

Hank tackled me around the waist. I grunted as we hit the ground hard. His elbow hit my stomach and I felt like throwing up. ‘What the hell?’ My stomach clenched painfully as I pushed my foot into Hank’s stomach, pushing him off me. I looked over towards Jubilee and Kitty, seeing their shocked expressions at ‘Bobby’s’ body. I grinned, looking away from them I saw the real Bobby hurrying towards their captured teammates. ‘Come on, you can do it!’ I watched as he broke the bars of the cage they were being held in.

Glancing back at the two girls, he grinned as they were still staring at the ice on the floor. Kurt teleported, with Rogue, directly next to the two of them. Rogue used her powers to drain them a little, then Kurt took them to ‘jail’. I turned towards Hank and laughed. “Looks like you’re all alone now!!” I said, he looked around astonished.

“Well, looks like I am!” He stood up, thinking over his options. “I think I’ll concede!”

“Good idea!!” I grinned, standing up I had to sit back down as my head spun rapidly. “Whoa...”

“Are you alright Logan?” Hank asked.

“Yeah...yeah I’m fine.” I said, the sensation passed and I stood up, frowning with confusion. “So, should we tell them? Or let them stay in ‘jail’ for a while?”

“I think you should tell me how you managed that trick first.” He said, pointing to the ice on the floor.

“Well, apparently Bobby’s been practicing his sculpting. He managed to make a quick replica of himself, not much detail though. Then again, didn’t need detail right now!! It did what we wanted it to!!”

“Nice thinking, Logan.”

“Actually Bobby came up with that part of the plan! We should go get them now, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m starving!!”

“You’re always starving Logan!” Hank laughed as we headed off to gather up the others.

* * * * * * * *

*Logan’s POV*

“My stars and garters, Logan!!” Hank’s astounded voice rang out across the kitchen. I looked up, raising my eyebrows at him. Everyone else from the Danger Room was milling about the room, getting their own lunch.

“What?” I said, mouth full of meat.

“I know you said you were starving, but couldn’t you have at least cooked the food?” He asked, looking sickened by the sight.

“Maybe I didn’t wanna cook it.” I said, taking another bite of raw steak. Charles entered the room, and I had to force my eyes to stay off him, or I’d risk giving away our relationship.

“How’d the session go?” Charles asked, sitting down across from me.

“Good,” I replied, taking another bite. Charles glanced over and wrinkled his nose.

“Logan, is that raw steak you’re eating?” I nodded and noticed his face turn slightly green.

“Why is everyone disgusted by it? It’s food all the same.” I said, looking around at the rest of the people in the room. Bobby came over and poked the meat with his fork.

“Cool!!” He said, grinning madly. “It’s still bleeding!!” Siryn entered the kitchen and moved over to the counter, trying to see what everyone was staring at. She covered her hand over her mouth at the sight and raced from the room, probably to the bathroom.

“Oh for crying out loud!!” I grumbled, picking up my plate, I headed towards the door. “I’ll eat somewhere else!!” I stomped out the door muttering incoherently.


* * * * * * * *

*Logan’s POV*

I slid naked into Charles’ bed, stretching luxuriously. Charles had to finish grading a few papers so he didn’t have to do it tomorrow. We were planning on spending the day together, faking a fishing trip so we could be alone for a change. I smiled as my lover entered the room, looking tired. “Hello love.” I whispered. He shut the door and moved over to the bed, kissing me deeply.

“Hello to you too! I love having a wonderful man in my bed!!” Charles said softly, stripping off his clothes before sliding under the covers with me. I pulled him closely, his hand rested on my stomach, head on my shoulder. I wrapped my arms around him, sighing contentedly. “Are you as tired as I am?” He questioned, I laughed lightly and kissed his lips quickly.

“Extremely exhausted. I haven’t been this tired in a long time!” It’s like how tired I get when my healing factor is working in overdrive, but that’s ridiculous. I don’t have any bad injuries...I shrugged off the feeling. Just tired from how busy I’ve been lately...

“Goodnight, Logan.” Charles whispered, stroking my cheek softly.

“You too, Chuck...” I said, earning a soft smile in return. He buried his face in my neck and was soon asleep. I listened to his heartbeat until I too fell asleep.

* * * * * * * *

*Logan’s POV*

I jerked awake suddenly, looking around blurrily. ‘What woke me up?’ I questioned, looking around to see what was wrong. ‘The window’s open, it wasn’t before, was it?’ Frowning, I slid carefully out of Charles’ grasp. He whimpered slightly. I leaned down, whispering softly to him until he settled down. I moved over to the window, leaning out to close it, only to freeze suddenly as the wind shifted. My nostrils flared and my eyes went wide with surprise. ‘No way in hell!!’ I inhaled deeply, smelling that scent again. ‘Gotta check this out!!’

I dressed quickly and scrawled a quick note to Charles and left it on the bedside table, partially under his book. ‘Sorry, Charles. I need to look into this!’ I leaned down and kissed his forehead softly. ‘Hopefully I’m wrong, but if I’m not!!’ I shook my head, slipping out of the room. I hurried out of the house, quickly finding that smell I headed into the forest, following the trail.

*Logan’s POV*

I’d been out here for about an hour. I was quite a ways from the house. ‘Come on!! I can smell her! It’s impossible but I know her scent!!’ I stepped into a clearing, finding the trail ended here. “Damn it!! Where is she?” I muttered, confused and angry. “It’s so strong, it’s like she’s standing right here!!”

“Yes Logan!!” An eerily familiar voice said. My head whipped around to face the man. “She is still alive! And she’s working with me now!!”

“S-striker!!” I shouted, eyes wide with surprise. I felt a force knock me into a tree, binding me there. A dark figure walked out from behind William Striker.

“He’s not the one you should be worrying about!!” The woman said in a cold voice.

“J-Jeannie???” I whispered, my unbelieving eyes looking straight into her green ones.

“Goodnight, Logan!!” Was the last thing I heard before I felt the darkness take me over.
