Author Note: This is my first X-Men WIP, I only know X-Men from the movie (used to watch the cartoon as a child but that was kinda a long time ago). I hope you like and would love to hear if anyone thinks I should continue. Oh and the chapter titles are lyrics from my favorite song and as soon as the lyrics run out. I will start a new song that I think fits the story. These lyrics are from After All by Cher.
Chapter One
It was just as cold as it was when he first walked in here five years ago. The paint was still chipping off the walls and the smell of old booze and cigar smoke drifted across the room. Cheap women were all around and the cage was still in the center of the bar. He gave it a cold smile and sat on one of the barstools. Ordering a beer from a haggard bartender he sat back and let the memories drift back to him. Memories of blood, violence, death and Marie. Then he was back at the mansion and her pleads with him not to go but she didn't understand. Jean was dead.....he had no purpose here anymore.
"Logan don't go please," her southern accent begged him and all he felt was anger boil inside him. How dare she beg him, the need to hit something was becoming stronger inside him. But he couldn't hit Marie and he godamn well knew it. He wasn't going to stay here though, Jean memory would forever haunt him. Just like that kiss would.
"Stop it kid, it ain't going to work. I am going and nothing anyone says will stop me," he walked to the door, and started to turn the handle.
"Are you always going to hide Logan," his eyes turned to her and he heard her gasp. The hurt there was unmistakable and he didn't bother to hide it. Not from her at least. In the foyer they were alone. Everyone had said their goodbye earlier that but Marie had been the last to find out. And the most hurt he guessed.
"It's the only thing that keeps me alive," and with that left the door, left the mansion, and tired to leave the memory of Jean.
Sighing he took the bear and drowned in one gulp. He felt like a heel. Leaving the only family he had ever knew, leaving the X-Men in the lurch. Then he shook his head, they had gotten along without them, and they would again.
"Yes but will Rogue? "
"You know Chuck ya really got to stop popping in my head like that."
"And what fun would that be my friend? Logan, Rogue had no one before you, and now you had left her."
"She'll get over it."
"Whatever you say my friend, whatever you say."
Closing his thoughts to the professor, or tired too, he put his focus back on the cage. The man in it, had just did away with the much smaller man. Some people were dragging him from the cage. Shrugging off his jacket and black wife beater, he made his way to the cage. Shooting the man in the cage a smirked. This was like a second home to him. He knew this cage better then any man and he was going to show it.
Marie threw her clothe into the duffle bag, not caring which way they went. Trying to do this as quickly as she could. Wanting to get on the road. She was going to find Logan if it was the last thing she did. Bringing him home was the only thing she was worried about. This was his family, this was his home. Jean or no Jean, he belonged here.
"Marie are you sure about this?"
"Yes, Professor, I need Logan and so do the X-Men. Just considered this my first mission."
"Okay Marie, just be careful and keep in touch."
"I will Professor."
Picking up her duffle back she slung it over her shoulder and made her way to the garage and smiled at the keys that had a post-it on it. Telling her she should take the professor car and be careful. Giving one last look at the mansion she got into the car and sped away. She was bringing Logan home, even if she had to knock him out to do so.
A/N: Please R/R and tell me if I should continue! Short but the next chapter will be longer. Promise.
