AN: Hi, this story is based heavily on the movies but also with some comic book influence. A few characters are a little OOC but not Marie and Logan. I OWN NOTHING all characters belong to marvel comics…. sigh I wish I did though cuz who wouldn't want to own the x-men?

Marie POV

Marie stared at the lake with a distant gaze, not really seeing what she was staring at. Her mind was like a child's kaleidoscope gone wrong, all her thoughts swirled and churned in a horribly vivid way. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts, that she didn't even notice when Logan came and sat beside her on the bench.

"Got something on your mind kid?" he asked in his gruff voice. Without even looking at him, Marie replied in a deadpan voice.

"They're coming back, my powers. I touched bobby and kitty today, I got a few memories and I got Kitty's powers for a few moments." She finished. She turned and looked at Logan, tears streaming down her face. He was in his usual " I'm a big scary mutant, fear me!" pose, but his eyes were filled with concern for her. He looked at her with confusion for a moment before asking.

"I thought that you hated Kitty, Why would you touch her?" He asked, wiping a tear away from her cheek.

She chuckled a dry humorless laugh before turning her head away and staring back at the water.

"I was supposed to go on that clean up mission to Ellis Island, but the professor decided to postpone it. So, I decided to surprise Bobby. I walked into our room and saw him and Kitty Making out, half undressed. I got mad and turned around to leave, and Bobby grabbed me to try and explain or keep me from leaving. When he touched me, I saw every memory of him and her together. They have been having an affair since the raid on the school. I was so mad that I walked over to kitty and punched her in the face. She tried to fight back but when she swung her hand went right through me. After all of that I came down here to think." She said, tears now flowing freely.

Suddenly she was in a tight, body-crushing hug, and Logan was caressing her hair.

"I'm sorry kid, so sorry. If I had known that Ice Prick was treating you that way-" he said, but he paused because his claws had involuntarily popped out. He stepped away from Marie with a determined look on his face. "God Marie! I knew he was no good for you, but this is going to far. I want to rip his goddam head off and shove it down his throat." He snarled. He jumped off the bench, heading towards the school, and more importantly, Bobby.

"Logan, wait!" Marie said, touching his bare arm to stop him. Suddenly, she felt a surge on memories and emotions coming from him. Him noticing her at the cage fight, him kicking her out of his car, and then letting her back in, stabbing her through the chest, saving her at Ellis island, their conversation before he left, seeing her when he came back, the danger room sessions when she was learning to be an X-men, his first conversations with Bobby, the raid on the school, the trip to Bobby's house, the trip to Stryker's Island, their conversation about her getting the cure, all of it. Every memory of every conversation they had ever had through his eyes. She could feel his emotions and she knew what he thought through all of them. She gasped in a ragged breath and dropped her hand.

"Logan, are you okay?" she asked, looking anxiously at him.

"I'm fine Marie, are you okay?" he asked, looking a little shaken but over all fine.

"I think that I am alright," she said nodding shakily." I saw every time we have ever spoken, through your eyes. I think it was because you were thinking of me when you were going to kill bobby. Which you can't do by the way!" she said. Then, she jumped when she heard a disappointed snarl in her head, signaling the return of the inner Logan.

Kid, let me go after him, you deserve better. He deserves a good beat down. I would neverkill him, i just want to rough him up a bit The inner Logan growled.

"Logan, I have the inner you snarling in my head, so I know how much you want to do this. Don't. I will take care of this on my own time." She said, giving him a hard stare.

"Your inner me?" Logan asked, confused.

"Yeah, when I take powers from a especially powerful mutant, I also get a little of them inside of my head. It only happens every once in a while." She said then she laughed a little, until she saw Logan looking at her like she was insane. " Ellis Island was a mess, I had you and Magneto arguing in my head for weeks." She explained, laughing as she did so.

"Sorry kid, I don't even like having me in my head, I am sorry you have to too." He said apologetically.

"Retract your claws and we will call it even." She said. Then she cracked a smile, the first real smile she had had all day. "I'm going to go talk to the professor and see if he has any ideas on what I can do about this, okay?" she said, feeling much better then she had felt 10 minutes ago.

"Yeah, and let me know if there is anything I can do to help all right?" he asked. Then he waited as she walked out of sight.

Logan POV

"Damn it!" he muttered to himself. He knew that Bobby was no good. His Marie deserved better than that. He smirked a little at the "his" part. It was just how he thought of her ever since his car really; the memory brought a frown with it. He didn't exactly like the fact that she had him in his head, or that she now had all of his memories of her in his head. He was still furious and he decided that now was a good time to have a little chat with Bobby. No one messed with his Marie and got away with it.

Even thinking of his name infuriated Logan. The kid always made Logan want to punch him in the face, but the way he treated Marie really pissed him off. Logan knew that Bobby was in it for the challenge at first, to be the first one to tame the "untouchable" Rogue. After Ellis Island though, he thought that Bobby genuinely liked Marie. Then when Marie wanted to get the damn cure he had tried to talk her out of it, but it was no good. He knew that she only got it so she could be with bobby, and it still irked him that she couldn't see that. After she got the cure her could barely stand to be around her, because she smelled so much like Bobby. She had given up so much for Bobby and what does he do? Throw her away for the next shiny toy. Logan retracted his claws and went back into the school. He followed Bobby's scent until he found the little prick sitting in the TV room, his face glued to some random student.

Logan yanked him up out of the couch by his neck and muttered as he drug him away. "We need to talk." And he threw Bobby into the pool table against the wall.

"What the hell were you doing Ice prick? What makes you think that you could treat her that way?" he yelled in Bobby's face.

Bobby started to laugh Logan's face, but Logan could feel the fear rolling off him in waves.

"Do you know what it's like to have a girlfriend you can't touch? It's hell." Bobby said, causing Logan to pop out his claws and push them to Bobby's throat.

"Hey, I loved rogue." Bobby said, backtracking nervously." I put her up on a pedestal, but that was just it. She was untouchable. And then there was you." He said and his voice took on a bitter tone. "She was always talking about you 'her hero'. I knew that I would never be able to live up to you in her eyes. Every time we got close you would show up, and it would be Logan this and Logan that. Then she took the cure, and she fell off the pedestal. She was all over me all the time, it was just plane common." Bobby said smirking because he knew he was egging Logan on. Logan snarled and pulled his hand back to hit Bobby, but he stopped when he heard Marie's voice.

"You Bastard!" she yelled. Logan dropped Bobby instantly, thinking that she was pissed at him. He retracted his claws and lifted his hands up, facing her ready to explain. She walked towards him, pure fury in her eyes, but then she shoved him out of the way and then got in Bobby's face.

"I loved you! You made me feel normal, like I wasn't a complete freak for not being able to touch anyone. Then I actually felt bad that you couldn't touch me. I got the cure because I loved you enough to prove it. You were the one who was always pushing physical barriers, then when you got what you wanted, you tossed me aside like yesterday's garbage!" she shouted.

"Oh, Bullshit!"Bobby said, his arms turning icy with anger. Logan grabbed Marie to move her, thinking that Bobby was about to hit her, but Marie just shook him off and closed her eyes for a moment.

"Ice this Bobby." She said and then shot a jet of snow at bobby's crotch before turning on her heels and walking away.

"Marie! Marie!" Logan shouted following her out into the hallway.

"Don't you start with me Logan" Marie muttered." You promised not to hurt Bobby." She said glaring at him.

"Actually I didn't I just retracted my claws." He said. "What did the professor have to say?" he asked changing the subject.

Marie narrowed her eyes at him, but answered his question. "The professor thinks that if I practice using and trying to control my powers every day as they come back, I might be able to control them. I'm going to need someone to practice with as well." She said, clearly still angry but calming down now.

"I'll help you Marie, you cant really hurt me.' He said though he thought to himself. From what I've seen in there it looks like you have pretty good control of your powers.

She looked at him a moment, as if her inner Logan had thought the same thing and then she said hesitantly. "It seems easier to control them. I wanted to recall bobby's power and it was like I was born with it." She said looking at her hands. "I think that emotions are the big trigger right now. I was so mad when I found Bobby and Kitty, I was panicking when you went after Bobby, and I was furious when I iced Bobby." She finished, a frown set in her face.

Logan frowned for a moment, concentrating on what she had just said. He wanted her to be able to have some semblance of a normal life after she got her powers. He could still remember what a wreck she was before she got the cure.

"Try using some of the powers you absorbed now!" he said quickly. He knew that if what she said was true, that she might not be able to pull powers when she wasn't really emotional.

"Okay." She said a little confused. She took a deep breath and then held out her hands. She stared at the m for nearly ten minutes, and then slowly a small icy ball formed in her hands. She stared at it in shock for a moment before her eyes fluttered and her body started to shift. Logan saw this and stepped back to catch her as she passed out. He easily picked her up, hooking his arm under her legs; he started to walk to her room. Then, he realized that he couldn't take her back to the room she and bobby shared. He quickly turned down the hallway and brought her to his room and set her down on his bed.

He stepped back and was surprised as how pretty she looked in that moment. Her hair was fanned out, jet black against stark white skin. Her face was serene and peaceful, a complete 180 from what it had been only a minute ago. She looked peaceful and it made Logan calm, like he had been restless and didn't know it until recently.

Logan, when you are done with Marie, I would like to speak with you. The professor said, interrupting his thoughts. Sure thing Chuck he thought in his mind, grumbling as he walked out of the room and down to the professor's office.

"What do you need Charles?" Logan said, crossing his arms and leaning against the doorway.

"As you know, Marie's powers are coming back-" the professor started but then Logan hastily interrupted.

"Yeah, she already asked me to help; so if this is what this is about…" he trailed off, seeing the professor break into his signature grin.

"No Logan, as I was saying before you interrupted me…Marie gets memory flashes as well as powers when she touches strong mutants. She informed me that when she touched you this afternoon, she recalled every memory that you had ever had of her. I believe that with enough practice, she may be able to tell you what happen, maybe even project it back to you if she practices with jean or myself." The professor said, staring warmly at Logan.

Logan was stunned. He quickly made an excuse to leave and walked out of the professor's office, weighing what the professor had said. He headed back to his room where Marie was still laying, peacefully asleep. With a sigh he looked at Marie, with a look that hadn't been in his eyes in decades…. hope.

"Please Marie, I need you to do this for me." He whispered before leaving the room and going to find someplace to sleep.
