DISCLAIMER: i dont own any of the marvel character A/N: this story isn't a continueation from any of the movie, but the character are like from the movie (HJ! sigh). Jean is still alive, though.

It was the hottest day in the Xavier mansion. Some of the residents took advantage from it. The kids are mostly playing in the pool and some of the ladies just relaxing under the sun for a little tanning while drinking their ice tea. But Logan took this opportunity to wash his jeep. There are also those who didn't like the sun very much. Instead of enjoying themselves with the others, they thought it would be better sitting inside with the air-conditioner while doing their own things, like watching television or enjoying the view outside, just like what Rouge is doing.

Rouge does not feel like soaking under the sun or in the pool. There is just too many people around, hardly dressed. There were just too many people with their skin expose. She is just not too comfortable with it. She was standing by the window watching Logan cleaning his jeep.

He finally found the time to wash his jeep. Its been awhile since he got the time to do it and its been covered in mud for too long. Besides, he did not have anything better to do and the danger room is still being upgraded. While he was washing, he felt like he was being watch. He looks around him but saw no one, he heard the kids playing in the pool at the back yard, but there was no sign of anyone watching him. He looks up at the second level window of the mansion and saw a curtain moves. Someone was there before, but whoever it was, they are gone now. But why is it that he feels like he was still being watch? He closed his eyes and sniffs the air for a second, and then his eyes snapped open. He was being watch and he knows the person who is watching him.

A dark figure was hiding in the woods near the x mansion, watching the people inside, especially Logan. He has been standing there for nearly 20 minutes and Logan just realizes his presence. He has been too comfortable at the mansion under the care of the professor Xavier that he got his guard down. He chuckled lightly, "this is just too easy". He saw Logan took his shirt and went inside the garage. The man took it as his queue to take off, "let the games begin".
