The Hidden Truths

It was mid morning when Marie staggered out of bed. She was exhausted and drained, and her head throbbed. Even though she had a great time last night, reveling in the privileges of drinking, she couldn’t for the life of her figure out how people could do this faithfully every weekend. Why someone would want to get piss drunk knowing what lay ahead of them, was beyond her.

Slowly making her way through the school, she trudged into the kitchen. She stopped short in the doorway, and saw Kitty and Jubilee sitting at the table, nursing a cup of coffee.

Kitty and Jubilee looked over at Marie, smiling cheerfully. Since both of them had been twenty-one for almost six months now, they had an easier time in holding their liquor. Being among the many who went out gallivanting every weekend, their tolerance was much higher than Marie’s. They mostly came home with a good buzz and woke the next day feeling groggier than usual.

It was no surprise for them to see Marie at her worst. She still wore last nights clothes and her once luscious curly hair, was now a matted mess. It was rare to see Marie like this. She was always the first one up out of her friends and eager to begin the day, anxious for what the day might bring. However, everyone else knew the real reason she got up at the crack of dawn. To see Logan.

“Mornin’ chick,” Kitty and Jubilee greeted.

Marie grunted and scoured at their annoying cheerfulness. Walking over to the island, she grabbed a mug from the rack and poured herself a fresh cup of coffee. Not bothering to add her usual dash of milk and half a teaspoon of sugar, she walked over to the table and plopped down across from Kitty and Jubilee.

“So, how’d it go last night?” Jubilee asked eagerly.
“Huh? How’d what go?” Marie replied, looking at Jubilee with a puzzled look, before taking a much needed sip her coffee.

All she could remember is trying to get in the school, seeing Kitty on her ass and Logan standing in the doorway. Everything else that happened after that was a complete blur.

“How can you not remember! You basically told Logan to shove it, when he caught us sneaking in last night,” Jubilee exclaimed.
“I did what?” Marie questioned, her mouth hanging open and her eyes wide.

Marie’s heart started to race and a feeling of panic rippled through out her body. She never talked back to anyone, especially Logan. Suree’d e’d get into a disagreement with someone, but that was it and she never dared argue with Logan. She knew better than to try and piss him off, no matter how right she thought she was. To know that she had done so when she was drunk, she couldn’t even begin to imagine how pissed he must have been.
“You should’ve seen the look in his eyes, he was pissed!” Kitty stated, as chills ran down her spine.
“Yeah, you’re one lucky chick, I tell yeah,” Jubilee said, sipping her coffee.
“Well, did you see him this morning? Was he still mad?” Marie asked frantically.
“No, but Bobby said he left early to do something for the professor,” Kitty answered, shaking her head.
“The professor, shit!” Marie exclaimed, then looked at the clock by the fridge, “I’m supposed to meet him in a half hour for training. How can I do that feeling like this?”
“Just tell him you’re sick or something and that you can’t make it,” Jubilee said nonchalantly and shrugging her shoulders.
“Jubes! She can’t lie to the professor! Besides, she needs the training,” Kitty snapped.
“She’s right Jubes. I can’t just skip a class, when I’m so close,” Marie agreed.
“All right suit yourself. But yeah know…waiting can have its advantages,” Jubilee uttered, with a sly grin.
“Jubes!” Marie snapped, knowing what she meant.
“Well just think about it…the longer the wait, the more tension. The more tension…the better the sex,” Jubilee answered, flexing her eyebrows.
“Somehow Jubes, I don’t think that matters to Logan. He doesn’t seem like the type who has to wait and build the tension to be great in bed,” Kitty assured her.
“All right enough, I’m outta here. The last thing I need to do, is think about Logan in bed. I need to keep whatever concentration I do have left, for training,” Marie said, getting up from the table.
“Who knows Marie, maybe if you picture Logan sprawled out naked underneath you, it’ll help,” Jubileesed.sed.

Marie’s cheeks instantly flushed at Jubilee’s comment. It had never bothered her to kiss and tell when she was with Bobby, but that was because sex with him was boring and sloppy and lacked passion. Neithersesssessed an ounce of experience, which made the joyful event all the more awkward. Therefore, when it came time to swap stories, Marie was more than willing to give her share.

Logan, on the other hand wasn’t ill experienced by any means. She knew that if she ever managed to bed the Wolverine that it would be anything but dull and emotionless. Sex with Logan, would be passionate yet raw and primitive, or at least that’s how she imagined it would be. If her thoughts proved right, she’d be too embarrassed to share those experiences with Kitty and Jubilee. Besides, knowing that they both had crushes on Logan, at one point or another, would make talking about it weird.

“Now I’m definitely outta here,” Marie stated, walking away.

Kitty and Jubilee looked at each other and smiled. Once Marie left to get ready for her session with the professor, they broke out giggling. It always amused them to see Marie get so flustered when it came to Logan.


After rushing around to get ready and barely making it, met the professor in the Danger Room. He all ready had a small assembly of holographic images of Jubilee, Kitty, Jean, Scott, Ororo and Logan, waiting to begin the session.

“Nice to see you’ve made it,” the professor stated, with a hint of disapproval in his tone.

Marie bit her lower lip and started fidgeting with the hem of her T-shirt. “Sorry professor, it won’t happen again,” she replied quickly.

“Good. Now, let’s get started.”

Not wanting to hold up the professor, she immediately took her place and stood in front of Jubilee. Thanks to her earlier comment, Marie couldn’t get Logan out of her head. She kept picturing his perfectly chiseled body stripped of all clothing, lying seductively on her bed with a lustful gaze in his eyes.

Instantly, she felt the heat between her legs wash over her and felt her panties dampen. Terrified that the professor would catch on, she tried her best to ignore all impure thoughts of Logan and to hurry the session as quickly as she could.

Marie yanked off her gloves, closed her eyes and placed her hand on Jubilee’s face. Almost immediately, she felt that familiar pull, and quickly took her hand away.

“You’re not focusing Marie. You need to relax and concentrate, like we’ve practiced. Try it again,” the professor ordered calmly.

Marie sighed heavily and closed her eyes again. This time, allowing herself to put all of her energy into relaxing her body and mind. After taking a few deep, steady breaths, she raised her hand and placed it once again on Jubilee’s face.

She waited for the inevitable jolt, but nothing happened. Ecstatic, Marie pulled away and looked at the professor, beaming with excitement. The professor returned her joyful expression with a very pleased smile.

“Very good Marie. Let’s continue, shall we,” the professor uttered, motioning to Kitty.

Marie eagerly continued. She stood before each of them and practiced with the same meditation method she used on Jubilee and not once did she feel that pull of energy. For the next two hours she practice like this, making certain she had it down to perfection.

Although once the session ended, the profession still insisted that she take it slow. He didn’t want her to get overwhelmed by her knew ability and hurt someone. However, he did say it would be okay to practice on a willing participant for a short period of time, before their next session tomorrow and Marie knew exactly who to ask.


Marie rushed out of the Danger Room and went straight to Kitty and Jubilee, who were lounging in the living room. She went on and on about how she managed to control her power during the whole session for the first time. Kitty and Jubilee were just as excited and couldn’t have been happier. Finally, their friend would be able to enjoy the finer things in life, like everyone else.

The three of them spent nearly three hours talking about Marie’s new revelation, before Marie finally went back to her room to shower and change. After pulling on a white T-shirt and a pair of gray sweatpants, she stood by the window, putting her hair into a pony. As she looked out onto the school grounds, she saw Logan walking towards the woods.

Marie smiled and her heart began to race. Wanting to tell him everything, she quickly put on a pair of sneaks and headed for the lake.
