The next day….

            I've talked to both Ororo and Jean about what to do about Logan.  Yeah shocked the hell outta me too when Jean and I became friends.  It was about a month after Logan left when it happened.  I had a free period between classes which I usually spent in the library.  However, more often then not, I was looking out the window that faced the driveway, and not doing my homework like I should have been. 

~flashback~

"I know you love him,"  Jean said to me "and I think it's great.  He needs someone like you to love him like he  deserves"

I looked at her with shock clearly written on my face.  Was this the same woman that not one month ago had shamelessly flirted with him? 

She continued.  "I don't have feelings for him, if that's what you thought.  I love Scott, completely.  No question about it, and there never was one.  Logan just made me feel…wanted, I guess.  I know Scott loves me as much as I love him, but I've been with him for 10 years now.  He was my first and only serious boyfriend.  I guess when Logan came, I just wanted to feel like I still had it…like I was still able to be attractive to men other then Scott.  But you know what, after I flirted with Logan, it was like I felt dirty."

At this, I scowled at her, thinking she was making a remark about something being wrong with Logan.

"I didn't mean that how it sounded.  Yes I felt terrible after it, but not because of something Logan did….it was because it just wasn't Scott.  That's when I realized that I didn't need to flirt with anyone else to feel attractive…it was Scott that made me feel the most attractive and loved after all."

I smiled at her, understanding completely.  When I was around Logan, everything was different.  Everything just seemed cleaner and brighter and better.  I thought no one else understood, but here was an unexpected ally.  The same woman who I had thought to be my competition, had just turned into something else entirely.

~end flashback~

 I was never worried about what she would do when he eventually came back though.  Her being in the way just meant that I would have had to smack him a little harder then usually to knock some sense into him.  However, today, her, Ororo, and I are the best of friends, and are getting ready for me to put the plan into action.  Basically, with a bit of help from our resident weather goddess and psychic, I was going to make Logan realize just how much we needed each other.  It was going to take a bit of convincing however, especially since after I graduated from "mutant high" six months ago, I was asked to join the X-men.  Professor Xavier asked me about two or three days before Logan came home.  Logan, of course, in his current "the world hates me and deserves to" phase,  took this as a sign that I  needed him less and less if I was able to take care of myself out on missions.  I'm going to prove just how wrong he is.   However, I've come to realize that nothing ever goes as planned.

"All x-men please report to the control room", I hear a female computer voice say over the intercom system.  I'm in my room at the time, just getting out of the shower.  I hurry and dress, and make my way down to the basement.  When I get there, I see that everyone else has already arrived.  Professor Xavier is sitting behind the large round table we have in the middle of the room.  Scott is on his left, followed by Jean, Storm, Gambit, Beast, Bobby and I.  Suddenly, Logan walks in the room.  I guess he took that position on the team after all.  However, I think it was just so he could keep an eye on me.  I'm not as unobservant as he'd like.

"So what's the problem?"  Scott asks, completely in 'fearless leader' mode, ready to take on whatever cause the Professor thinks is worthy.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news,"  Professor X says solemly.  "Magneto has escaped."

Tbc…..
