On the move
After that undercover mission last night, I was more than happy to leave this city. It had been two years since we had left the Cullens' house in Washington and it had been two long years since I had even spoken to my boyfriend and my team, who were all nineteen and I was eighteen. All of us were under radio silence in order to stay hidden and to keep ourselves safe. Mutants and supporters of mutants were disappearing left and right, but nobody knew where they had gone. Or, at least, nobody was saying where all the people were being taken.
Logan showered and shaved before coming back into our room with a towel around his waist as I headed into the bathroom. I did what I needed to and then got dressed before calling in a now-dressed Logan, "All right, start dying my hair. Remind me to shoot Alice for teaching everyone that stupid dye." My older brother chuckled and wasted no time in making my brunette hair turn red and then I threw the emerald green contacts. He wandered back out to grab his jacket as I threw on some make-up and then we both met the other professors downstairs. After eating a quick breakfast in the dining hall, Logan and I headed over to his motorcycle while Erik, Professor X, Hank, and Storm went to the Jeep.
My brother climbed on and I followed suit before we both threw our helmets on and led the way to the hotel Jackson was staying at. My undercover partner climbed into the Jeep and then we were all flying out of this city and onto the next one, Professor, where are we going next? Everyone's thoughts were silent as Professor X thought for a minute, We shall head to Los Angeles, California. Dr. Cullen has a house that he gave us permission to use when and if we needed to. My brother tensed under my arms wrapped around him and he groaned telepathically, That's a good two day drive if we don't stop. We need the airship back. I smiled under my helmet before telling everyone, There is another airship we can use. I had the Cullens move it to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. I can do some repairs and get it up and running again.
That plan was soon agreed upon and we drove in silence once again, except for me because I had my ear buds in since I couldn't really talk to Logan as we drove. Those in the Jeep decided to keep driving while my brother pulled over at a bar. As I took off my helmet and climbed off the bike, I got a couple catcalls and whistles from some men huddled by a group of motorcycles. I gave them all a disgusted look as one man called out, "Come over here, sweet thing, and I'll teach ya a thing or two." Logan was ahead of me and he tensed as he prepared himself to protect me, but I flipped the man off and spoke before my brother could move towards them, "I'm taken by a guy that is worth more than two million of you. And the only thing you could teach me is how hard I need to hit you to knock you unconscious."
I grabbed Logan's arm and pulled him inside as he remained tense and wary. I led him over to the far corner of the bar and basically forced him to sit down at the table. I took a seat across from him and recoiled slightly at the fury in his chocolate eyes, "Logan," he obviously wasn't listening, so I poked his leg with my foot under the table and he looked at me, "Bro, calm down," I pulled out my secret weapon that worked every time, "You're scaring me, Logan." As usual, it worked and my brother immediately forced himself to calm down because, although one of his strongest instincts is to fight, Logan's strongest instinct is to keep me safe from any danger, which includes him. He smiled a little at me and I happily grinned back before we both ordered fries and steak from the waitress while he ordered a beer and I had to lower my standards to order Coke.
We didn't talk much because it was such a public place and we didn't want the wrong people to hear our plans. Once we had eaten and used the restroom, we climbed back onto the motorcycle and drove off again. Let me say one thing about the motorcycle: it is a 1963 Harley Davidson DuoGlide FLH and I absolutely loved it. I don't care what anyone says about this beauty, but it is probably my favorite mode of transportation, after the airship of course. Funnily enough, it wasn't long before we caught up to the others because they had apparently stopped at a different restaurant.
We found a large hotel and booked two rooms next door to each other before we went up to crash for the night. I was sharing a room with Logan and Storm while the other three shared a room. After putting on pajamas, I climbed into one of the beds with my brother laying down beside me as Storm showered and I curled up close to Logan. He was laying on his side and I used one of his arms as a pillow while his other arm wrapped around me protectively. I nestled my face into his chest and he chuckled, "You're awfully cuddly, pup."
I shrugged and whispered, "I don't want to lose you too." His arm tightened slightly as he whispered back, "You won't lose me, pup. I promise. I'm going to be around for a very long time to irritate ya." I smiled and relaxed as I let blackness take over my vision. I woke when I felt Logan move and I lifted my head to blearily stare at him, "Go back to sleep, pup. I'll wake you when it's your turn to shower." I blinked before my head fell back onto the bed and he pulled the covers back over me as I fell back asleep.
