AN: hello lovies!!! I decided to start another Rogan story!!!It starts out at the beginning of X1 when Logan and Marie meet for the first time. Will veer off course from there. Not sure how or when they will get to the mansion or if they even will. Marie might be a little out of character.This is my second Rogan story!! Please also check out Belle of the Ball another Rogan and also check out Red, white, and pink my Captain America story.Disclaimer: I do not own a thing :(Fuck! She is not talking to me and she is shivering against the door. I feel bad for scaring her but….I Couldn't just let the guy hurt her. Not sure why I stopped him. Normally I could give a shit less what happens to anyone. But there was something about her when I glanced at her from the fighting cage. Something about her smell and also how she looked like she belonged anywhere else besides a dirty hole in the wall bar.

I can smell her fear and it's choking me. I want to smell her without the fear. She smelled like apples and sunshine and something kind. Can someone smell kind? She probably hates me now. She knows I'm a mutant when I released my claws in the bar and again when I caught that guy trying to rape her in the back of the bar when I was about to leave. Shit I should turn on the heat. She keeps shivering. I am always used to driving alone.

"Put your hands on the heater." I reach over to grab her hands but she jerks away. Fear spiking.

"I'm not gonna hurt ya kid." I can smell her fear start to go away.

"I'm sorry mister, it was real nice of you back there to help me. But um...I don't want to hurt you." She says quietly. I notice her pull her coat closed more and realize the bastard had ripped open the front of her shirt.

"Kid, you can't hurt me. I promise." I say

"Look it's nothin personal,you helped me and I'm grateful but….when people touch me something happens." She trails off

"Like what?" I ask

"They just get hurt." Is all she says. She then leans back into the door and closes her eyes seeming to mumble things under her breath.

"Listen kid, We will get a hotel room and some food. I will take you shopping in the morning. Get you some new clothes. Sound good." I say. Her eyes snap open and she is just staring at me. " I will make sure the room has two beds." Don't want her thinking the wrong thing.

"Why are you helping me?" She asks, then mumbles under her breath some more. Why does she keep talking to herself?

I laugh because I really don't know. "To be honest kid. I'm not sure. But I couldn't just leave ya there."

She nods and gives me a small smile. If a smile that tiny gives me these feelings, I don't want to see her smile when she is really truly happy. Shit. This isn't good. She scoots towards the middle a bit and looks up at me through those lashes. And slowly lays her head in my lap. My whole body stiffens for a minute. But somehow it seems right. Maybe because she has stopped talking to herself now that she is laying on me.

We pull into the hotel and I am able to slide her off my lap and go pay for a room. I don't want to wake her so I carry her into the room, and when I kick the door shut the noise must have waken her. She jumps and tries to get out of my arms.

"Put me down!!" She screams

"Ok ok." I set her on her feet. "Sorry I just..didn't want to wake you."

"I just didn't want to hurt you." She says "Will you shut up!" Is she talking to me?

"It's not a nice thing to say." She says, but she is just pulling her coat closed tighter and pacing the floor. Sounds like her mumbles to herself are getting louder now. Shit. I had to go and pick a crazy to take care of.

"What! Yeah he is but…. No! He does not." She says then stops and slowly looks up at me and blushes. Now isn't that the cutest thing I have seen. I feel awkward and look down at the floor hands in my pocket. The wolverine has never thought of a girl as cute. Hot? yes. Fuckable? Yes. Cute? Never! How is she making me feel this way.

"I can only listen to one of you at a time. Now you gone and made him think I'm crazy." She says while looking away and pacing again. She walks over to the bathroom door and glances in. "They have soap and shampoo!!!" She practically yells while jumping up and down. "Do you mind if I take the shower first sugah?! It helps me to make them be quiet."

She says while turning to look at me.

"What. Um ya sure. I'll um run across the street to the diner for some food." I say before she smiles and closes the bathroom door.

I am not sure what she means by make them quiet. But when she called me sugah I think the wolverine was howling for her. Yeah, need to put a stop to that right away. She what, 14?! So I head over to the diner while she is singing in the shower.

I walk in holding a couple bags of food and a soda for the kid and beer for me. But when I look up the kid is standing in the bathroom door with nothing but a towel on. Her hair is wet and my eyes just won't look away. I realize I have dropped the food bags.

"Shit kid, I'm sorry."I say in a stammer. She blushes and I can tell it goes lower than her neck. I think my pants are getting tight and I know I'm a pervert.

"Sorry. Um I just left my bag out here and needed to find my jammies." She says in the sweetest voice.

I look down and notice the bag is near me. I pick up the dropped food and place it on the table and grab her bag and bring it over to her. Standing in front of her without her big coat on I realize how tiny she is. She looks up at me and blushes again.

"Thanks" she smiles "um I will be right out and we can talk." She says quietly and runs back into the bathroom.

When she comes back out her hair is brushed out and she has on a long pink nightgown with long sleeves and a hood. She is pulling on her gloves as she walks over to the table. I don't think I have ever met someone who looked so good with so much skin covered.

She sits down and digs into a burger.

"So, what's your name?" I ask.

"Rogue" she says simply after swallowing her food. She may be hungry but she still had manners I guess.

"What kind of name is Rogue?" I knew it wasn't her real name.

"I don't know." She says while looking at my tags. "What kind of name is Wolverine?" I grab them and tuck them back into my shirt.

"My name's Logan." I say with a mouth full of burger. I have no manners.

She smiles "Marie"
