Rogue stormed through the mansion mumbling under her breath about how certain members of the X-Men were unfair hypocrites. As she passed Scott, who was quietly talking with Hank McCloy, or beast as he was known to some, she shot him a look that wished him ill.

"Sorry Hank, but I've got to go," Scott said with a sigh once Rogue had vanished around the corner and down the next hallway.

"I understand," Hank said with a small smile and an understanding nod. As Scott started off Hank called after him, "Scott?"

"Yeah?" Scott asked as he turned round to face him again.

"Don't do anything you'll regret."

"I won't," Scott said as he followed after Rogue. Just as he turned the corner into the next hallway Scott heard the resounding slam of a bedroom door on the floor above.

"What the hell is going on?" Logan demanded as he walked out of his room.

"I have no idea."

"Rogue's in a bad mood about something," Kitty told them as she passed down through the ceiling.

"What's she mad about?" Logan asked Kitty.

"Something about what some guy said to her the other day." Kitty answered then added, "I think."

"Said about what?" Scott asked a sudden feeling of dread coming over him.

"Don't know, she didn't say."

"What guy?" Logan asked.

"I don't know that either."

"Any chance you can find out Kit? I'd really like to get some sleep." Logan said with a large yawn.

"I can try, but I'm not like making any promises," Kitty said as she turned and headed down stairs.

"Where are you going?" Scott called after her, confused about why she was going down stairs when she had just stated that she would try and convince Rogue to talk to her.

"Hello? Ice cream. Do you really expect me to like go up there and like confront her and all without ice cream?" Kitty demanded as she rolled her eyes in disbelief at the stupidity that Scott, the fearless leader of the X-Men, was currently displaying.

"Oh, I guess not?" Scott's answer sounded more like a question than a statement of fact. Logan, who was still standing next to him, burst in to an uncontrollable fit of side splitting laughter.

"Shut up," Scott snapped at Logan.

Logan fixed him with one of his unyielding stares, which made Scott feel even more uncomfortable than he had when Logan was laughing at him. The attention that Logan was currently giving him was worse than the attention he had been given when he and Jean were still engaged.

"You know what she's mad about." Logan stated.

"Don't be stupid; I have no idea what she's mad about."

"If you say so bub, but just remember the walls have ears." Logan said as he pointed to his own ears before going back into his room.

Groaning Scott headed down the hall to his room, which unfortunately for him was still right next door to Jean's room which was now Jean and Logan's room. He would confront Marie tomorrow, after he had gotten some sleep.


A/N: Don't get to excited after rereading this story I've decided to do a bit of updating, rewriting, and combining of chapters. So far I've gotten chapters one through three completed and I am uploading them right now.
