Another rewrite of the movies, except this is my version of the second movie. The main couples will be Logan/Rogue, John/Kitty, Scott/Storm, and later on it'll be Remy/Jubilee. I will be continuing this in another story; it'll be called "Let It All Burn". Just to clarify for those who care, these titles come from the song: "Hurricane" by 30 Seconds to Mars. It is a great song, and I'd recommend it to anyone! xD


Chapter 1:

Kitty usually enjoyed field trips like this. She'd usually be soaking up the knowledge and the history of the museum with flourish and relish.

But of course she couldn't because stupid John and his stupid lighter.

Her, John, Rogue, Jubilee, and Bobby had all grouped together once they had gotten to the museum, heading towards the food court to 'just chill' as Bobby had put it. They had just been joking around, acting like normal, when John decides its okay to take out his trusty Zippo and mess with his fire.

You know, because apparently it's okay to manipulate fire with your mind in public places. It's not suspicious at all.

Pardon her sarcasm.

So anyway, it's no surprise when a couple of jerks catch sight of this guy holding fire in his bare hand and decide to come over.

And here we are.

"Hey, my brother asked you a single question," the, what Kitty assumed to be, sidekick of the two said. The 'leader' spoke up then, "Why you being such a dick?" Like a puppy, the other continues with this thought, "Yea, why you being such a dick?"

John kind of is being a dick. He's just sitting there, smirking like he's some kind of badass or something.

His answer of course, is: "Because I can."

God, she should've known he'd ruin today somehow.

She leans toward Jubes, whispering, "Well, today's been shot."

Jubilee snorts and pops her gum, "Oh, c'mon, chica," she leans over, too, "This could prove to be entertaining." The Asian grinned over at Kitty, and in response she rolled her eyes. Of course Jubilee would find this to be funny.

Back over to the 'situation' she hears the 'leader' asking for a light.

John, who's on her left, stares at his lighter in contemplation, like he's actually thinking about lending his lighter to these losers.

"Hmmm…." He opens it, letting the flame linger…then snaps it shut "I don't think so."

Kitty rolled her eyes, "John, don't be a jerk." She stills when he turns his gaze over to her.

He grins, "What's the matter, Kitten? Afraid of a little fire?" Kitty scoffed, "You wish, John."

His smirk widens, if that's even possible, "And you fantasize."

Heat rushes to her face in an instant, and she hates it. She can hear Jubilee choking on her gum from laughing so hard. 'Well,' she thinks, 'I'm glad someone's enjoying this.'

"What's the matter, cat got your tongue?" John laughs. Kitty glares at him, but she doesn't think it did much damage thanks to her red-covered face. Jubilee has fallen off her chair by now.

She hates him sometimes.

"Shut up, John," she snaps. John 'shudders', "Ooh, Kitten's got claws," he snaps his lighter open and shut, almost reflexively. She blushes even more, and tightens her arms across her middle.

Bobby seemed to have enough of John antics, "John, knock it off."

John reluctantly tears his gaze from Kitty to the Iceman. "Oh, what, for her?" he gestures at Rogue, who at the moment is getting checked out by the 'sidekick'. She notices and at his suggestive-eyebrow-wiggle she gives a snort of disbelief. John continues, "I can't help it if your girlfriend is getting all excited."

At that Kitty mentally scoffed.

Bobby rolls his eyes this time, "I don't think she's getting excited."

Jubilee snorted, "That's for sure." Kitty watched, amused, as the Asian girl righted herself in her seat, popping her gum loudly.

Ice ignored her, while Fire looked at her with a smirk. Kitty caught his eye, and smiled.

While his attention was diverted, the 'leader' leaned forward and snatched John's lighter.

"Hey!" Whipping his head around, John's reaction was quick as he rose to his feet to go after his precious cargo. The sidekick was also quick as he stepped in front of John, blocking him.

Kitty sat up, sharing a look with Rogue and Jubilee. This could get out of hand really fast; she sat on the edge of her seat, readying for that occurrence.

The leader who had John's Zippo took out a cigarette and lit it, keeping a smug gaze on John. John scoffed, "That's real cute, man."

The leader replied by blowing smoke, "Suddenly you're not so tough." It hit John in the face and she watched as he closed his eyes and laughed, shaking his head in disbelief. She slowly stood up, putting her hand on the table. The others followed except for Bobby; he sat with his arms crossed watching with a furrowed brow and a scowl, but she could still see his muscles tensed.

John wasn't smirking anymore, but had a mischievous look in his eye. He swayed back a little, leaning on one leg, tongue in cheek.

"You hear that, Kitten?"

Kitty started, not expecting him to talk to her at this moment. She accidentally stood straighter, watching him with wide eyes.

He turned to look at her over his shoulder, "He doesn't think I'm that tough." She blinked at him, confused. This caused him to smirk, and she narrowed her eyes, a sinking feeling in her gut.

"Jo-" she began, starting towards him.

He winked at her, and at that moment a burst of fire shot from the cigarette in the leader's mouth, catching him on fire. He started freaking out, trying to pat it out. He wasn't looking where he was going, and ended up falling on a table behind him.

By this time everyone was watching and Bobby jumped to his feet finally. He pushed his arm out, and a stream of ice flew from his hand onto the boy on the ground, putting out the fire and frosting him at the same time.

John was laughing; holding his stomach and everything. She rolled her eyes and marched forward, grabbing his jacket sleeve, ready to give him a piece of her mind, when she noticed something.

Time was stopping.

Everyone around them was freezing, the two boys stopped moving, the people stopped walking and talking.

"What did you do, Bobby?" Rogue asked, standing behind the frozen sidekick and poking his shoulder.

Bobby looked bewildered, "I didn't do it."

"I did."

All five mutants turned to the voice. A wheelchair pulled into their view and all were caught in the Professor's stern gaze. Kitty dropped hers, ashamed to be the recipient of this look.

"The next time you feel like showing off," he fixed his eyes on John, "don't." In her peripheral vision, she could see John lower his head slightly, and she tugged softly on his sleeve that was still between her fingers.

He didn't give any indication that he felt her, except for a slight softening around his eyes.

Before the Professor could say anything else, a news report stating that the President has been attacked came on. They say it was done by a mutant.

"I think we should leave, Professor," Scott spoke up. Kitty looked over and realized that everyone had now gathered in the food court. Scott, Jean, and Storm stood in front of them all, looking a degree of worry.

"I think you're right," the Professor replied.

They all filed out into the hallway, and she, surprise surprise, found herself walking next to John.

When she looked over at him, though, he looked somber, and the light that was in his eyes just minutes ago was gone. She hated when he looked like this, and she suddenly got an urge to get rid of that serious expression.

She got an idea.

She hid her smile, and kept looking forward, "John," she began, "you are such a prick."

Without missing a beat, he pushed her to the right. She phased through the wall, and found herself on the other side, a little dazed.

She looked at the wall she just came through and paused. She smiled.


Rogue was bored. After they got back, the five were told they'd be getting a quiz for what they learned at the museum: a punishment for the stunt John pulled.

So they got their stuff and started studying in the rec room. But this plan to actually do schoolwork wasn't working very well, and they had all zoned out pretty quickly.

She felt a tap on her arm and when she looked that way she saw Bobby holding his right hand to her. She gave him a questioning look. "Thumb wrestle?"

She arched a brow, something that her inner-Logan allowed her to do, and slowly put her hand in his, getting her thumb ready.

Things got pretty intense soon, mini-Logan being competitive and all.

"Oh, you are so going to lose!" Bobby maneuvered his hand this way and that, trying to best her, but she was good at this, she had Erik's game skills to use at her dispense.

She laughed though, and allowed him to think he had the upper hand. She noticed that his hand stopped moving and looked up, wondering what was wrong.

He was staring at her. She knew that look. He'd given it to her so many times since she agreed to go out with him.

He wanted to kiss her.

She's told him a thousand times that she doesn't want to hurt him; that she doesn't want to give him a dose of her mutation, but he doesn't listen. She'd tell him and then he'd back off for a bit, but then gets right back in her personal space again. She hates it, because what she tells him is the truth.

Well…it's part of the truth.

He was still staring at her when she cut off her line of thought. "I don't want to hurt you," she whispered as she back up some. It was starting to get a little old, repeating that line, but he really wouldn't stop.

He stopped, and then shrugged, smiling, "I'm not afraid."

She knows that's a lie. She can smell the fear on him. But he's a guy, and his hormones come first. But she thinks that maybe…she should let him. He should see firsthand that her mutation isn't one to be trifled with.

So she stays put, allowing him to come closer. She even starts to close her eyes, keeping up the illusion of his girlfriend.

He's a whisper away from her lips when something pulls her away.

She ignores the confused look on Bobby's face, trying to listen carefully.

There it is. The sound of a motorcycle engine pulling onto the school grounds.

She whips her head back to Bobby, a giant grin growing on her face. She disregards the annoyed look on his face when she gets up and runs out the door.

She dashes out of the rec room, running around the corners, dodging people, trying to hurry to the front door, wanting to be the first he sees when he opens the doors.

She reaches her destination, and just in time to see him swinging open the doors.

"Logan!" She strides towards him, and when she's close enough, swings her arms around his neck. She smiles even more when he wraps his around her waist, holding her to him. She gives a slight squeeze then reluctantly lets go, pulling back to grin up at him.

He looks happy to see her.

"Hey kid, you miss me?" he smirks.

She crinkles her nose, mostly at the 'kid', and shakes her head, "Naw, not really." When he gives her 'the eyebrow', she let's go of the fake frown and smiles widely at him.

"How are you?" he gets a little serious, only a tiny curl at the edge of his mouth and a light in his eye to show he's genuinely happy.

She downsizes her grin, but still gazes at him warmly, "I'm good, how 'bout you?"

He shrugs, and then his gaze gets caught on something behind her. She's disappointed to see the light diminish from his eyes, but when she sees what he's frowning at, she understands why.

He gestures with his chin, "Who's this?"

Rogue shoots Bobby a glance, "This is Bobby. He's my-" "I'm her boyfriend." Bobby forcefully interrupts, holding his hand out. "But you can call me Iceman."

Logan reluctantly shakes the proffered hand and she's shocked to see his hand turn blue.

Bobby was freezing his hand.

A rage blooms inside her, how dare Bobby? She doesn't let on about her inner turmoil, but simply pastes a smile and shoves her elbow subtly in Bobby's ribcage.

She was pleased to see Logan's hand rapidly turn pink and back to normal: his healing ability kicking in. He clenched his hand, getting the feeling back. "Boyfriend, huh?" He shot a glare at Bobby, and then turned a look at her, seeing her anger hidden in her eye, and he smirked. She watched as he grew a smug look, and felt something tug at her gut.

"So, how do you two…you know?" His smirk widened at Bobby, and she had to hide a smile. That jerk. She watched as Bobby grew red and flustered. "Uh, well, we-"

Storm swooped down the stairs at that time, rescuing Bobby from his embarrassing situation. She smiled and greeted Logan, asking if he could babysit that night.

Watching as he didn't really answer her, but still agreed, she had to smile. She missed him. A lot. Talking with her inner-Logan could only provide so much comfort, it was still better to have the real deal. He hadn't changed a bit.

Another pair of heels clacking down the stairs jarred her from her thoughts.

"Hello, Logan."

Everyone looked up to see Jean 'gracefully' descending the staircase. She kept her gaze on Logan, and turning her head, she saw that Logan returned the redhead's gaze.

"Hey, Jean," Logan smiled. Rogue narrowed her eyes, studying his profile, watching his expression. His smile looked forced, but his eyes held a weird twinkle in them. She felt a small shred of dread curl in her stomach.

She vaguely heard Storm mutter something about checking up on the jet and walk away awkwardly. She didn't pay much attention, keeping her gaze locked on Logan, who in turn, had his on Jean. She felt a tugging on her arm, and felt herself being pulled backward. Bobby was pulling insistently on her, forcing her away from the Wolverine.

She didn't know what to do, Bobby was dragging her away, and Logan wouldn't even look at her, his attention stuck on the red head who was slowly making her way towards him.

"B-Bye, Logan," she called, hoping to at least divert his attention a little bit. "I-I'll talk to you later," she tried to dig her heels in the ground, to slow Bobby down some, but he kept dragging her. If her arm had bruises later, she swore…

Thankfully, Logan did turn and look at her when he answered, "Yea, okay." He connected eyes with her and what was in them caused her to let up on her resistance, letting Bobby fully pull her out of the room.

God, had she missed Logan.


So…this is my new fic….I started this about…half a year ago, actually, but I finally decided to end it. As I said, this will be a rewrite of the second movie, and I already started a fic for the third that'll pick up where this fic will leave off. The couples will be: Logan/Rogue, Pyro/Kitty, Scott/Storm, and then later on it'll be Gambit/Jubilee. Hope ya'll like this; I have no idea when the next one will be up.
