DISCLAIMER: I do NOT own any of the X-Men characters, Marvel does... lucky bas-- also, Marvel I am really truly sorry if I make any of your characters into wusses, say Cyclops. But, I DO own Crow. She is MY character, MY baby. So there. ENJOY!
I sat on top of the mansion staring at the crisp moon. What a lovely night, I thought. It was warm, and the murmuring breeze tickled my skin and blew little wisps of my hair into my eyes.
"Hello, Crow," a voice said behind me. I turned around to look at Logan standing before me.
"Hello, Logan" I replied warmly. "What are you doin here?"
"Nothin, just thought you might like some company."
"Thanks," I replied and patted a spot next to me.
He sat and lit a cigar. "So, you like it here so far?"
"Oh yeah, it's really great!" I said enthusiastically. "I really feel like this is home. I haven't felt this way about anyplace, save my trailer back in Washington State. But oh well."
"Good," Logan said with a nod and puffed on his cigar. We both looked at the moon.
"What time is it?" I whispered without taking my eyes from the moon.
"Round midnight" He whispered back.
"I guess we should go back in. Got to get up in the morning."
"Yeah." He stood up and gave me hand to pull me up. I spread my black-feathered wings and silently made my way to the edge of the roof.
"Night, Logan," I said with a smile.
"Night Crow," he replied and grinned. I jumped off and flapped my wings to bring me safely onto my balcony and went into my room.
I threw myself onto the bed, landing hard on my wings. "YEOWCH!" I screeched. Trust me, when you have extra appendages protruding from your back, you gotta be careful when you law down. I quickly sat up and rolled onto my stomach, pulling the sheets up over my neck. I sighed loudly and stared at my closet that faced my bed. My eyes became heavy, and I found myself drifting into a calm half-consciousness.
