Distribution: – Sure if you want, just email me first and let me know
Rating: – PG 13 for now just for some swearing, could go up to R in the future.
Disclaimer: – Now think about it, if I owned the Wolverine, do you think I'd be sitting on my computer making up a story about him? Hell no! I'd be doing…..well….use your imagination :)
We made our way upstairs only to realize that the meeting had made us miss having dinner with the rest of the mansion. So, Logan and I went to the kitchen to find something to eat. He seemed to be walking closer to me than usual, and it gave me a bit of hope. Maybe my feelings weren't quite as one-sided as I thought. This would definitely make things easier.
I went over to the fridge, and pulled out the necessary ingredients to throw together some sandwiches. I could feel his eyes on me, watching my every move. Finally, I turned to him and placed a platter of sandwiches between us.
"And what is it about me that you find SO interesting that you've been staring at it since we left the meeting?" I give him a little glare just for good measure.
" 'Dunno Darlin, just have a bad feeling about this mission. Feels like after we go our separate ways this evening, I'll never see you again."
Yay! He called me darlin!! Oh, he's looking at me like he's waitin for an answer…
"Don't be silly Logan. We go, search our spots, and meet back here that same night. We're not even supposed to do anything if we find him. We're just supposed to come back and wait for the rest of the team, so we can go in as a whole."
" I know." He says. "I'm just worried. I'm supposed to be protecting you kid…can't do that when you're on the opposite side of the states."
Damn…back to square one again with the kid comment. I'm gonna smack him up-side the head.
"Well," I say, looking at my watch. "We had better head up to our rooms and get some sleep. Six a.m. comes around pretty fast."
"Alright," he said. "See you in the morning then." With one last look, he was on his way upstairs to his room. I, however, had a date with some chocolate ice cream I knew was in the back of the freezer somewhere.
~~Six am…the next morning~~
Being it's six in the morning, we all looked pretty awake as we sat around the table waiting for Scott to come in with the Professor. All except Bobby that is…he never was much of a morning person. He's asleep at the table with his mouth hanging open. Just then The Professor and Scott walk in. Bobby wakes up with a snort and rubs his eyes.
"I'm awake…," he mumbles trying to look at perky as possible.
Scott gives him a look that says "Yeah right but I'm not gonna argue about this now". Instead, he tells us the plans for today.
"Ok, I have the coordinates for the bases we're going to check out. Wolverine, here's your group's information." He hands Logan a folder full of maps and information that the Professor's informants have already gathered. Then he continued. "I'm going to be manning the first blackbird, with Alpha group, and Jean can fly the other one for Beta group. This mission is strictly reconnaissance, which means if you find any traces of Magneto, there will be absolutely no fighting him until the ENTIRE team is there." He gives Logan an exasperated look. "Ok, everyone understand?" We all nod. "Good, meet back here at the mansion no later then 2300 tonight. Good luck!"
With that, we all stood up and headed towards the hangers. Logan made sure to stay by my side, still with that worried look on his face. I gave him a questioning look, to which he answered with a small smile and a shake of his head. We got to the hanger and split into our two teams. Scott, Bobby, and Gambit were already on the Blackbird, but I stayed behind with Logan, since he looked like he had something to say. When the rest of his team was on the second Blackbird, I walked over to him to see if I could get him to say what was on his mind. Looking up at him I opened my mouth to say something, but was quickly quieted when he pulled me up against his body roughly and attacked my mouth with his. He pulled away just as quickly, gave me one of his rare true grins, and stalked off towards the other bird. I, like a stupid girl getting her first kiss (ok so it was only my second, but gimme a break here), stood there in shock with my hand touching my lips where the kiss we shared still tingled. The only thing running through my mind, besides naughty thoughts involving me, Logan, and all the leather we were wearing, was one single thing….thank you professor for helping me control my skin!
As I boarded the blackbird, Scott smirked at me, letting me know that he had seen the whole thing. He was of course kept informed of my love for Logan through Jean, who just couldn't keep anything from him. As we started to take off and head towards the California coastline, I thought to myself, "How the hell am I supposed to concentrate now?"
