Chapter 3
Logan woke up later than usual, but refreshed. There was a spicy scent under his nose and he took a whiff of it, tightening his hold on the person in his arm. Person? Logan opened his eyes. He was lying on top of a slender body with auburn hair. "Remy." He barely heard his own whisper, snuggling closer to kiss the man on the neck before standing up. He tried not to move the bed too much, and smiled when Remy snuggled deeper in the covers, frowning at the lack of heat.
Dressing, he took the bag with Remy's clothes and headed for the basement. They were cold, some a little damp. Remy deserves better than this. As he waited for the dryer to finish, Scott arrived with a load of his own. Logan knew Jean hated doing laundry.
"Hey Logan, I just wanted to apologise about yesterday. I've been a little edgy these days, trouble in paradise, you know?" Scott started as Logan took out the laundry. He shrugged. Something was off with the leader, he could smell it. "Do you have any news on the Professor? Do you know where he might be?"
"Sorry, Cyke, can't help you." He gruffed out as he got ready to leave.
"Hey, Logan, wait. I was hoping that since you're back, you could do a session in the Danger Room against Bobby and Warren. They've been going easy on their training these days and I want to kick them back into gear, you know?"
Scott couldn't see him, but he smiled. It wasn't a very pleasant one either. "Sure, Cyke. I'll be there in twenty."
He headed back to his room, taking the time to put away the clothes and writing a note for Remy. He wasn't sure why. It wasn't like the Cajun couldn't take care of himself, and he wouldn't really care if he wasn't there.
"Off to Danger Room
Logan"
He took a final look at Remy, who was clinging to his pillow again. He pulled the sheets up a little higher before leaving. He figured the kid would be okay for a few hours. He'll probably still be sleeping by the time I get back, Logan laughed.
When Logan entered the Danger Room, Bobby and Warren were already waiting for him. "Hello Logan." He and Warren had never really gotten along. "Are you still sleeping with the trash? I'd be careful if I were you. You don't know what's been in his mouth and up that ass."
Bobby grinned. Logan growled, his feral side climbing inside. "Can it Wings." He managed to spit out.
"So I take it he's that good of a whore…"
The last word was taking out of him with a gust of wind as Logan knocked him over, seconds before the Danger Room sequence activated. Bobby jumped over to help Warren, and Logan let his claws rip. He wouldn't kill them, but they'd need to see Hank after he was through with them.
It was only an hour later that the sequence stopped, and Logan felt his blood boiling. He'd only just gotten started. "That's all for today, guys." Scott's voice broke through the intercom.
Bobby and Warren helped each other out and into the changing rooms. Logan followed slowly, biting at his cigar. "Logan, could Jean and I talk to you a moment?" Scott asked as he entered.
Logan stared at him, nodding slowly as he tried to find his angle. Bobby and Warren left to get breakfast. The two of them walked towards the observational booth of the Danger Room to meet up with Jean who was monitoring Bishop and Forge.
"Logan, I'm glad you agreed to come." Logan raised an eyebrow, falling into a defensive stance. He didn't like how Jean was starting this. "We have to talk about Remy. We think he's changed sides. He's dangerous, Logan. You know what he's capable of. We think he may still be working with Sinister. Have you noticed how he's never able to attack him, how Sinister still seems to hold one over him? I'm not saying he should go back to the boathouse, but we need to keep our distance. He might be stealing our secrets. You know he's good at that."
Logan growled loud enough at that to make her stop. He couldn't believe her. He shook his head. He didn't want to have this conversation, especially so soon after a work out. He left. He heard Jean and Scott call for him to come back, but he knew if he did the outcome wouldn't be pretty. At least he knew for sure where these two stood.
He entered the kitchen to see Hank, Remy and Ororo making small talk over breakfast. He quickly joined them, making a plate of bacon, eggs, toast, beans, coffee and orange juice. He sat down next to Remy and saw the other man physically relax at his presence. He smiled at that.
Just as he was about to start eating, a blue hand reached out and stole half of his bacon. The sudden smoke announced that Kurt had arrived. "Gleetings friends! 'Tis good to see you all again."
Logan smiled back, noticing the weary eyes of his friend. The man looked exhausted and he figured that teleporting over the ocean could do that to a man. Kurt had managed to make the whole trip in one night after all.
