Title: The search for Barbra

Author: endiahna

A/N: A friend and I had come up with this idea months ago, but we never really worked on it. Since that friend seemingly doesn't care, I shall write it to the best of my ability. Since this is an AU, I will not hesitate to change things as I see fit. Some characters will be those similar to the comics rather than the movie verse, the some will be more like the cartoon X-Men Evolution. There will also be a lot of character deaths. I can't tell you who dies at the moment though.

Summary: Professor X and Jean Grey are trying to help Logan regain is memories. They start to resurface in his dreams in an unexpected way, and he may have more connections with Magneto than once thought. When captain America goes missing, Logan begins to fear his past truly is haunting him. With Scott's help, they go in search for him, only to be taken as prisoners by magneto's gang, but where is old bucket head? And who is this new mutant that has risked his life for them? Logan thought his life was already complicated enough when more secrets are brought to the surface.

Prologue:

Logan'sPOV (The Past)

We have another mission due, before this war will be over. It will be the last we will see of one another before we leave out separate ways. I can't help but be disappointed at some level. He is one of the few that can keep up with me, one of the few that will seemingly never die. At least that's what we assume, and I can help but hope.

I haven't died yet with as many chances as of that there was. I know I'll live a while longer, and if that is when the earth goes up in flame, I want to be able to say I am not dieing alone, there's Rogers. He's here too. I don't want all of the people once have known and will know to die out before I do. It's selfish I know.

We had a lot in common too, a lot more than I had first thought we would. But we could never be friends. Yeah sure we fought the good fight with one another. We always had one another's back, but we could never be more than that. I trusted too few, and even though I trust him, I can't allow myself to get closer. Yeah, we are drinking buddies when things slow down. But I could never open up to him, and I suspect h e feels the same.

Maybe that's why I feel disappointed. Maybe I wanted a friend to rely on. But I don't rely on no one. I don't; want to do so, no, I can't. It's just not truly possible for me.

I look over at the tall blonde. He too is deep in thought. Can't say it's about the same things I'm thinking about. No, I'd have to be a mind reader to know so. But I bet he's thinking of ol' Barb. That's what I should have my mind centered on, but I could careless.

I am tired of us contemplating about Barbra. We need to go ahead and get this done. As soon as she is out of our hands, the better we will all be.

Chapter one:

Cyclops's POV (The Present)

Jean had been busy all day it seemed wit trying to uncover missing puzzle pieces in Logan's past. I would rather she not do tat again, she had nightmares for weeks the first time she tried to read his mind. She wouldn't talk about it, but I know she had picked up some of his worse ones. Well of the ones we know of anyways.

The last time the professor and her tried to pick through his mind, they brought forth something that we hadn't thought was there. Of course Logan might have known on some subconscious level, Jean ad said to me later, but he wasn't truly aware of it. No, not until they brought it out. The beast hidden within him.

He ad terrorized the whole school, and went on a rampage. The beast felt cornered, hurt. It was only natural for him to fight back. What he thought he was fighting I wouldn't ever know. We do know he had killed without a second thought.

That is the reason for this session. They had caged the beast back up weeks ago, but they wanted to know what brought it forth. I didn't think Logan would do this freely, but maybe wanted to know too.

I am not so sure I trust him any more than I have before, but I can understand, to a degree, why he acts the way he acts. I probably would act the same. He's so untrusting and vile, but hell I'd probably be even worse than he is now that I think of it. His past has made him hard, but I haven't seen nor done anything near as horrific as he has. If I did, it'd probably break me. He is a lot stronger than me for this reason, not that'd I'd ever mention that to him.

I do know I wouldn't want to be made into a man like him, who would? I'm sure even he wishes he was different. Or dead. I wish he was dead too sometimes, but I have to keep tat to myself. Jean would wreak havoc on my life until I take it back. She has a soft spot in her heart for the hairy brute.

But I can't help it; he brings out the worse in me. Or maybe everyone is like Logan, and everyone has a hidden beast; maybe these dark thoughts of mine are just a fraction of what mine is.

I shake my head and clamber out of bed and take a stroll down the halls. She still isn't back yet and it is past midnight, more than likely the three of them are still in the professor's office.

I can't sleep until I know everything will be okay.

Another A/N: Yeah,I know the prologue is a little odd. It's like a flash back/dream/memory thing going on. Tell me what you think, and what changes I should make, to of course make this better.
