King of Pain

King of Pain ( four)

What one man will do to have the woman he wants.

< Gambit I am sending Beast, Bobby and Warren to assist you.>
< Gambit be likin’ that Professor.>
Scott stared at Logan for what seemed like an eternity to Gambit.
“Can we speak in the study Logan?” His voice was too calm for the emotions they could feel just below the surface.
Logan said nothing as Scott walked by him.
Gambit could feel the hatred simmering preparing to explode.
Logan turned to follow Scott. Gambit went along to keep the peace as best as he could.

Scott faced the bookshelves his back away from them as he began to speak.
“Why send Ro away don’t wanna spoil yer plans?”
Scott did not turn around as he spoke. “She’ll figure it out Logan.”
Gambit felt fear and anger from Logan. Why did he care what his stormy thought of him?
“Why did you sleep with Jean?”
Logan was silent for a while.
Scott slightly turned his head.
“She wanted it.”
“So did you Logan.” Scott turned to face them. His jaw tense and his lips were in a tight line.
“Your man enough to take on Sabertooth but you can’t say no to a woman.”
“I said she want….”
“I don’t give a damn what you say Logan. You didn’t even have the balls to do it while I was here, you wait until I’m miles away and sneak off to a secret rendezvous. You saw her weak and just went in for the kill.”
Logan growled at Scott. “ Yer to blame fer some of this shit.”
Scott smile stiffly. “Yes I trusted her to do the right thing and look what she does…you”
Logan’s hands balled up into fists. “Yer just weren’t cutting’ it Cyke.”
“ She tell you that did she also tell you that she wanted to work on our relationship even after your little fling. You know I loved her and you two just fucked that up.”
Gambit raised and eyebrow at Scott’s anger rising.
“What’s wrong Logan you can’t get a woman of your own so you got to steal someone else’s?”
“No.”
“You probably don’t remember what it feels like to be betrayed or lose something you love.”
“I remember.”
Scott took a step closer anger rising to even higher levels. “Well then you didn’t learn from it.”
“Keep comin’ bub and ya won’t be angry fer long.”
Scott took another step. “I don’t know Logan I feel like I could disintegrate you right beside Gambit.”
“Gambit dinks you shouldn’t do that.”
“Why haven’t you gone after Jean now that she is free Logan? No thrill left for the chase? Or have you found another prize to use and throw away.”
“Shut yer trap.”
Scott took another step. Gambit saw the Wolverine step back to get a better angle for an attack.
“You will never have her Logan you know that don’t you.”
Logan’s claws roared out at those words.


Beast, Bobby and Warren walked into the study.
Scott smiled at the anger on Logan’s face.
“No need for the back up Gambit I think Logan and I have an understanding don’t we Logan.”
“I understand yer a dick.”
Scott chuckled and walked slowly by him as the Wolverine turned to keep him in his sight at all times.
Gambit frowned at Logan. “You stay away from my Stormy or Gambit do some blasting of his own Homme.”
Logan growled at him and left the study.
“Most interesting I’d say.”


“Jean why are you leaving?”
“I’m needed at the summit that’s all.”
“You were crying Jean. What’s wrong?”
Jean continued packing. “You’ll find out soon enough.”
Jean faced her. “I’m leaving in a few minutes and Bobby is taking me to the airport. Take care of Scott for me I think you’re the only one who can now.”
Ro was about to say something but thought against it.
Jean returned to packing. “Say goodbye to everyone for me.”
“I will.”
Jean sensed sadness from her friend. She turned and hugged Ro and the tears began to fall again.
Bobby was at the door. “Are you ready?”
Jean pulled away and wiped her face. “Yes lets go.”
Bobby grabbed her suitcase and she followed him out of the room leaving Ro standing there.

Logan paced his room all sorts of things going through his mind. What if Scott tells Ro what he and Jean did? How would that affect the way he knew she felt about him? It wasn’t like it meant anything Jean was just an itch he had to scratch. Wait she wouldn’t like hearing that Jean and Scott were her friends and Scott her best friend. Scott wouldn’t tell her but he would hold that over his head as long as he wanted the Goddess.
Asshole
It wasn’t his fault that Jean wanted him. Scott had practically thrown her out of their bed.
What the fuck had he gotten himself into now and why did she feel the need to tell Scott.
If she was going to feel guilty about it later she should have said something. Would that have stopped him? No he wanted her just like Scott said he did and now he was going to make him feel the pain that he was feeling.
Logan stopped pacing and clenched his fists. “Not without a fight Cyke.”
He didn’t know how far Logan would go to have what he wanted and if Scott wanted to find out Logan would be more than happy to show him.
