Previously in Deadly Storm
She was thankful for the arm that he had wrapped around her, steadying her from falling. Hearing Faye clear her throat Logan stood up straight, pulling away from Ororo but keeping his arm in place. She was not going to admit the fact that she was enjoying the feel of her hot tingly skin under his mouth but she wasn't going to pretend that it wasn't annoying to be interrupted either.
"Can I help you ?"she said trying not to roll of her eyes.
"Mind if I cut in ?" Faye asked ignoring Ororo's scowl, smirking at Logan. Folding her arms Ororo looked her up and down. She had no claim to Logan but this girl was irking her to no end.
"Yes we do, I'm hear with Ororo, Faye. No if you don't mind I have a dance to finish !" Logan said turning back around and continued dancing with Ororo.
After they finished their dance Logan and Ororo got their drinks and ordered a small meal consisting of a burger and fries for each. Neither in the mood to be stuffed and have to ride on the bumpy road back to the mansion. Paying their tab a few hours of talking and a couple more dances later they grabbed their jackets and headed outside. Being the last ones to leave Logan bid Nick the bartender good night and once again placed his Steston on tops of Ororo's head. Watching Logan grab a cigar out of his jacket pocket Ororo watched him light it and take a long drag. Leaning back against the building she smiled and ran her hand through her snow white hair pushing it back away from her face.
"What you lookin at darlin ?" Logan asked looking at her as he blew out the smoke.
"Nothing, just thinking is all !" she responded
"Really now ? And what might you be thinking about ?" He asked stepping closer to her.
"Wouldn't you like to know ?"
"I would actually, care to enlighten me ?" Logan asked placing his arm above her head standing in front of her.
"No not really, maybe later !" She said making a show of looking at her finger nails in mock bordem.
"Why aren't you just the biggest tease ?"
"And proud of it love !" Ororo said slipping out from in front of Logan. Walking towards his bike she swayed her hips and looked back at him over her shoulder. Winking she looked up into the sky as thunder boomed in the distanst, looking back at him she laughed when he gave her a look.
"Did you do that darlin ?" Logan asked as he continued to smoke his cigar. "Cause you don't have to show off for little old me !"
Shaking her head she continued to walk backwards towards the middle of the parking lot. "Nope I didn't but hey Im not complaining !" She said as she slipped off her leather jacket and hung it on the bar's door knob.
"Strippin for me Ro ?" Logan asked eyeing her as he smirked and continued smoking his cigar.
"You wish, Im getting ready for your information !" Ororo said looking up into the sky once again. "And no not in that way !" She said with a smirk as she looked from the sky to Logan and then back. She could feel the power of the storm even tho it was about five miles away, the increasing pace, power and splender intoxicating her. Closing her eyes she allowed it to enter her body filling her with the feeling of the currents. The sway and feel of dancing on the clouds and they were holding her up for all the world to see. Opening her eyes Logan saw they were now white and cloudy, he smiled at her as she walked towards him.
"Come here !" Ororo said pulling at his hand slightly.
"No way, sorry Ro. You do realize that Im a human lightning rod right ?" Logan said watching her try and pull him with her. "Me and electricity do not mix well, trust me darlin its not a pretty sight !"
"Well hey we get along just fine now don't we ? Don't worry I won't let you get hit..." She said finally getting him out from under the overhang. "well at lease not to much !" She said laughing as Logan gave her a warning look.
"Ro.."
"Im just kidding you big baby ! I wont let you get hurt, you gotta trust me pet !" She reassured him as she felt the rain start to hit her face. The cool dorps sliding down her cheeks and forehead, the thunder booming in the distance and lightning flashing through the sky. Letting go of his hand she spun around holding his hat on her head as she laughed slightly her hair soon sticking to her face as she spun. Turning around to face Logan she smiled and crooked her finger at him beckoning him towards her. Watching him step closer she smiled and closed he distanst between them, placing her hand on his cheek.
"See shock free, just like I said." Ororo said smiling up at him squinting slightly to keep the rain out of her eyes.
"Then I think I owe you a thank you." Logan smirked as he leaned forward and kissed her pulling back after a few moments when lightning hit a tree near by. Opening her eyes she licked her lips and laughed.
"I think thats our que to head back !" Ororo said kissing him once more before taking his hand and leading him towards his bike.
The next day was a normal Saturday, the students were out playing on the grounds, Logan was teaching Artie to 'defend' himself, and Ororo was sitting in the grass leaning against a tree watching them. Laughing when she watched Artie trip into a punch she covered her mouth to stifle it. Hearing her Logan looked up at her and smiled, winking at her as he helped Artie up. Seeing Logan physically stifen she went to stand but stopped when she heard the professer in her head, she froze and listened to him.
"Ororo there is a mutant child I need you to go and get, she is in danger and needs to be brought here as soon as possible. I will give you the rest of the information once you and Logan meet me in my office." Charles said ending the link between her and Logan. Looking up in Logans direction she saw him looking at her. Nodding she stood up and walked towards his direction, walking next to her they asended the stairs and walked into the mansion. Walking into Xaivers office they sat at the table and waited for Charles.
"Her name is Veronica Marie Parker, shes sixteen and lives in Chicago, in a very abusive foster home. Her parents died when she was thirteen in an earthquake, believed to have been her fault, since she wasnt able to control her mutation yet. Its not quite clear what her mutation is to its fulliest yet but be careful. You are to bring her here and as quickly as possible, she not in the kind of sitution to be kept waiting." Charles finished as he dismissed them to their mission. Packing the supplies for anything they booted up the Jet and headed towards their destination. Arriving a few hours later they landed the Jet in a clearing near the lake and started towards her house. Seeing it up ahead Ororo watched as Logan went on guard, unsheathing his claws getting into the 'zone' as he jokingly called it one day.
"This the place ?" Logan asked as they approached the small run down house in the Chicago suburbs. Nodding her head she walked closer to Logan and placed her hand on his arm telling him to retract his claws, they didnt need to scare the people before they even got to the house.
"Logan this isnt the time or..." Ororo was saying but was intrupted when they heard a blood curdling scream coming from the house. Looking at each other they charged for the house, pausing only for Logan to bust the door in. Looking around Logan ran up the stairs towards the scream as Ororo saw a young girl dash into the living room and begin to huddled in the corner. Walking slowly towards the girl Ororo held out her hands and approached her slowly. Trying to servey the room and get to her at the same time proved to be hard when all Ororo heard above her was screaming and loud bangs and crashes. Nearing the girl she saw her eyes were closed and she was mummbling incohearant things to herself.
"Hey there...what are you doing ? Are you ok sweetie ?" Ororo asked as she kneeled down and reached out to her. Watching the girls eyes snap open and her raise her hands Ororo wasnt prepared for the attack that came with it. Feeling herself being thrown back she quickly took advantage of the open door to grasp the winds and catch herself, but it as to late and she hit the wall with a sickning crack. Groaning she slowly got up and rubbed the back of her head as she held up her left hand in reassurance.
"I'm...not...going to...hurt you...I promise !" Watching her Ororo saw her getting ready to attack again, being ready for it she held up her hand and blocked the force being thrown at her and switched it around back at her. This seemed to scare the young girl even more, as she placed her hands over her ears and she screamed. Looking around herself Ororo dodged the many things falling from the shelfs and ceiling that were being thrown in her direction. The young girl was visibly shaking as the earthquake got stronger so did her shaking. Reaching the girl Ororo placed a hand on her shoulder and spoke to her softly.
"Hey its ok, I'm not going to hurt you. Its alright clam down ! Your safe now...don't worry I'm gonna help you." Seeing her visibly relax once she felt Ororo's gentleness she fell back to the ground and passed out. Holding her arm Ororo checked her pulse and quickly gathered her in her arms. Wincing when she felt the pain in her right shoulder she turned to see Logan carrying a older girl in his arms. Shivering when she saw his blood stained shirt she guess it was from the girl, when her eyes met a dark stain on the girls shirt aswell. Giving him a strange look she nodded when he motioned to the necklace on the older girls neck that read Veronica. Deciding there was no time to figure out who the other young girl was, they quickly exited the house and made ther way back to the jet.
Once on the Jet and once their passangers where safly tucked into the medical beds they had set up Ororo joined Logan up front. Sitting in the co-pilot's seat she sighed and massaged her shoulder. Feeling it not going back into place she winced and gasped at the pain. Turning to look at her Logan put the Jet on autopilot, as he faced her he looked over her shoulder seeing the slowly forming bruise under her tanktop strap.
"Dislocated ?" He asked
"O...yea..., can you set it back for me ?" She asked turning to face him better, when her efforts came up short. Nodding he got up and grabbed a bandage and a sling from the supply cabinet. Walking back he placed his hand on her back and told her to stand, looking at her he nodded and took her hand in his.
"Ready Ro' ?" He asked as he prepared to pop it back in. Seeing her nod he gripped her hand and nodded as she squeezed his tighter. Placing his hand on her shoulder he pulled her hand forward towards him as he pushed her shoulder back, hearing the shoulder pop back into place he winced as she screamed near his ear. Leaning her head against his shoulder she took deep breaths as she cradled her arm, pulling back after a few moments she looked up into his eyes.
"You ok ?"
"Yea, I'll be fine, just give me some drugs and Ill be as good as new in the morning." She said as he picked up the make shift sling and began wrapping her arm, seeing her wince he slowed down and began wrapping her arm again.
"Sorry, don't realize my own strength sometimes ." He said lamely.
"Don't worry Im not made of glass, I wont break that easily." She said leaning back in her chair once he had finished wrapping her arm, placing it in the sling.
"Want something for the pain or no ?" He asked watching her.
"Yea, this one is the worst of them I've had." Ororo responded.
"Alright I'll be right back ." Logan said as he walked to the back of the Jet. Searching through the draws he found the morphine and grabbed a small hypodermic needle. About to walk back to the front the youngest girl moaned slightly and rolled over in her sleep. Placing the things on the counter Logan kneeled down and felt her head. She was burning up and her face was blotchy and swollen, they had to get them to the school and fast if they were going to avoid permanent damage. Wetting a cloth with cold water Logan drapped it over her forhead and pulled the sheet up over her shoulders once she had quieted down.
Grabbing the morphine for Storm he made his way back to the front of the Jet and took his seat in the pilot's chair as he drew up the medicine. Watching him Ororo smiled as he injected air into the bottle first and then drew out the wanted dose, flicking the needle to get all the air bubbles to the top. Seeing her watching him Logan looked away quickly as he placed the bottle on the chair beside him.
"You done this before ?" She asked sitting up right for him to give her the injection. "You did it just like a doctor would have, were you one ?"
"Couldnt tell you even if I wanted to ! See I don't remember really much of anything from my past." He said scooting towards her slightly. "Can't remember much from before I came to the school." He said moving the sleeve of her shirt, as he wipped her arm with an alochol wipe. "That was about four years ago !"
"O, I'm sorry !"
"For what its not your fault !" He said pushing the needle into her right arm above the sling. Seeing her wince he pulled out the needle once he was done and soflty rubbed her arm over the spot with his thumb. "There all done, just give it a few minutes to start working."
Nodding she laid back and after a few minutes began itching her arm, smiling at her he chuckled. "I guess its working !"
"How did you know ?" She asked as she scratched her arm.
"Morphine makes you itch ,its one of the side effects. That and it makes you tired, though it also depends on the dose."Logan added as she leaned back in her chair and yawned laying the seat further back.
"How'd you guess ?" She said scarcasticly as she yawned again and closed her eyes. Watching her close her eyes Logan grabbed a blanket from the cabinet and drapped it over her arms to keep her warm.
Arriving at the mansion Logan pressed the switch for the basketball court to open up so he could land the jet. Seeing Scott and Jean standing
at the platform above the landing spot he sighed slightly glad he had some extra hands to help out. Turning off the jet he looked over at Ororo, going to wake her up he stopped when the back hatch opened and Jean snd Scott boarded the jet.
"You need to get them to the medcial wing as soon as possible, especially the older one. Shes been beaten on pretty badly." Logan told Scott with a low growl obviously unhappy with the way he had found her.
"Is Storm alright ?" Jean asked as she picked up the younger one, seeing Ororo unconcious on the co-pilots seat.
"She will be just hurry and get them to the medical wing before there beyond our help !" Logan said turning to go to Ororo again. Kneeling down beside her seat Logan pushed her hair out of her face and talked to her softly. "Ro, its time to wake up. Were home, come on darlin." Logan said shaking her slightly. Seeing her groan and open her eyes slowly he smiled at her.
"Hey, we're home wanna go to the medical wing or your room ?" He asked watching her wake up slowly.
"My room, I hate hospitals. They give me the creeps, even the small ones." She said sitting up slowly, pulling the blanket tighter around herself.
"Me to Ro, your room it is !" He said and picked her up slowly, wrapping the blanket around her more as he picked her up. Walking off of the plane he desended the stairs and made his way into the mansion. Passing the medical station he saw the girls being worked on and shook his head. What kind of monster could hurt little kids let alone little girls. Sighing he pressed the button for the elevator to the main floors and looked up from Ro when it dinged. Stepping inside he pressed the button for the main floor. Reaching it he exited it and walked to the dormitory stairs, asending them he walked down to the end of the hall and opened her bedroom door. Walking inside he looked around her room as he made his way to her bed. Her room was just like he had pictured it, soft blues and whites decorated it. Lots of windows with large french doors that opened to a balcony. Something he knew she used alot, turning to her bed her laid her down and took off her boots and jacket. Seeing her eyes open and close once again and the soft even breaths she was taking he knew she was sleeping peacfully. Pulling her blankets up over her he turned and left her to sleep.
Seeing the door open to the living room and sounds coming from it he walked towards it. Adjusting his jacket in his arms he opened the door more and peered inside. Seeing Kitty and Rogue watching T.V he smiled and walked further inside the room. Hearing his boots on the hard wood floor Rogue looked up at him, jumping up she ran to Logan and hugged him, obviously relieved.
"Scott said that someone had gotten hurt and they need to get them to the med lab stat. I thought it was...god Logan I thought you was the the one on that stretcher." Rogue said clinging to his uniform, trying to fight back tears.
"Shhh now you know I'd be fine, takes alot to get rid of me. You know that, you espically ! Right ?" He said reminding her of the time they had their run in with each others powers.
"Yea I was just worried is all !" She said hugging him tighter.
"Well Im here now and I'm not going anywhere. Your stuck with me squirt !" Logan said smothing her hair down as he hugged her.
"Promise...?" She asked looking up at him through her white bangs.
"I never make a promise I can't keep darlin !"
