Chapter 1- A New Beginning
Life at the institute was pretty much back to normal. They had Xavier back and he was better than ever, he could walk. Some of his students weren't all that surprised. Lots were ecstatic that he was there again, including Logan. Logan had stayed and accepted a teaching position in the Danger Room. All of his students loved his class the most. Marie was teaching Math and Bobby, Science. Ororo was back to teaching History and liked adding the new developments of society into her class.
Logan wound up selling a few of Scott's rides, but most importantly, keeping the most beloved motorcycle.
Life was peaceful. No one was out to get them. They didn't have to hide. Dr. McCoy was close to becoming the vice president and he was working his way further into the government to keep chaos from happening again. Little did they know that they were at the beginning of a new lifetime. Things were going to change for the better, people were a little more understanding. Hope for world peace was coming back. People were actually starting to care about the polluted earth.
Love was starting to spread. Gardens were actually seen as a place other than to get laid. Romances were budding. Taking Marie and Bobby for example. The two of them had worked out their issues, with the help of psychiatrist Logan, and were now engaged and thinking of getting their own home. Ororo finally confessed her lover for Xavier and they had gotten together. Logan was the only one left to his lonesome. He was mourning Jeans death. He had taken it hard but was trying not to relapse into a selfish git like Scott had.
Logan was being social, though drunken some of the time. Bars were his way of letting out his emotions. Once he had come home completely drunk off his ass with a trophy in tow. As to asking him, he claimed 'he beat the shit outta someone who insulted his Jeanie.' Yes, Logan was Jean's death REALLY hard, but they pretty much understood. He had actually admitted to loving her. Love was not something that Logan did often.
After three weeks of not seeing Logan, Xavier started to get worried. Logan didn't like him to intrude in his mind and Xavier hated invading someone's privacy, but they needed to find Logan. He sent out his mind and searched. With not finding the teacher in the state, he went to Cerebro to search for him in the most logical of places, Canada. Logan had been traced to a bar set near the border of New York, though not within walking distance. He was heading back to Anchorage, Xavier assumed. Xavier left a message in Logan's mind saying that after he deals with what he needs to deal with, they would be expecting him to turn back up at the mansion to continue teaching. Logan merely grunted his reply in his brain and left the bar.
All he needed was closure. That was it. Closure.
