Logan's p.o.v)
Logan pored his third cup of coffee, he'd not slept. All he could think of was Akira, he'd only seen her for a few seconds but he knew that the picture of her in his mind would stay there for the rest of his life.
He'd always wanted kids. Wanted to settle down, have a family but this was different. When he saw Jubilee his heart stopped, all the feelings from before he left came flooding back as if not a day had passed. He was still in love with her. He was still in love with her and she was with G ambit.
Akira, his daughter. He had so many questions; Would Jubilee let him see her? Or was there too much risk of people finding out he was her father? He didn't give a damn, but Jubilee obviously did or else she would have told someone.
'Penny for your thoughts' Storm stood in the doorway, sky blue dressing gown wrapped tightly around her.
'I don't know Ro, It's just so weird to be back after so long.'
Storm studied him as she silently poured herself a coffee.
'It's not that, is it? This is to do with Jubilee.'
'Ro'
'Why did you leave, Logan, This is your home, we're your family.
'That's my business.'
'No it's not Logan, maybe it's not mine, but Jubileeā¦'
'I know I hurt her Ro, stop rubbing it in!' Logan shouted, storming out the door.
Why have I got the feeling the danger rooms about to be wreaked Ororo thought.
(Jubilees p.o.v)
She'd been so in love with him, at first she thought it was just a crush, wished it was just a crush since he could never want her. Then like a dream he came to her, just like a dream that still haunted her.
Her Logan had come to her and sweetly, gently taken her into a new kind of pleasure. She'd curled up in his arms, so happy she thought her heart would burst, he was finally hers. She'd fell asleep after sitting looking at him for hours, and when she awoke, he was gone.
She'd pined over him, for such a long time. Her heart wasn't broken but shattered into a thousand pieces. She waited, but he hadn't come back. Remy seemed to understand, he was always there when she needed him. He looked after her, and Akira. To cheer her up when she was pining he'd taken her out dancing, to restants and the cinema. At first he'd never tried to flirt with her or charm her, they were just friends, friends who fell in love.
She'd never felt for him what she'd felt for Logan, it worried her. Sometimes she wondered if she was really in love with him but she tried her best to ignore it when she thought that. Logan was a forbidden Love; of course it would seem more exciting, more heart stopping and yes, sometimes more painful, wouldn't it?
Akira was so like Logan sometimes it scared her, looking into Akira's eyes was like looking into Logan's eyes. She'd often thought somebody would figure it out, but nobody ever did. She'd wanted to tell Remy so many times but just couldn't get the words out.
( Flashback)
'Hey sugar'
'Oh, hi Rogue.'
'How de little one doing.'
'Growing everyday.'
'Jubes, it's none of ma business but, have ya ever thought bout Akira's future?'
'Future, what do you mean?'
'Well if she'll be a mutant like growing ups hard sugah you know that.'
'What do you mean?'
'Well, you could get Hank to do a D.N.A. test, and know for sure I mean it would be nice for us ALL to know.'
(End flashback)
'I don't understand if weapon X's main interest is the study of mutants, why would they want to kill all mutants? Storm asked.
They were all sat around the large table in the mansions underground conference room.
'Money' Bobby answered 'At the moment weapon X is just a small company, if they pull this off they'll get more funding and more government projects, within a couple of years their organisation, and profit margin could increase ten fold. They might even be able to go public.'
'And the government chose them because they know, that they know the most about mutation.' Hank said 'So they are the most logical course.'
Everybody was silent as they each considered the problem.
'What are we going to do about it then?' Jubilee asked.
Xavier looked up 'We know there main base is at Alkali Lake, so I think a visit would be appropriate.'
'So we go say hi, and blow de place up, non?' Remy smirked shuffling his cards.
'No, well at least not yet. To fully put a stop to this we need to know everybody who's linked to it. We break in, we obtain a sample of the virus, so Hank can have a look at it and tell us what we're dealing with. We also need somebody to hack the computer system, come up with a list of who's involved, and any other data that will help.'
Wolverine smiled 'we call in Kitty then, she's the best hacker we got, where is she?
'Working in England, we'll phone her up.'
Jubilee had finally decided to do the right thing, what she hoped was the right thing. Tell Remy.
It would be hard revealing the secret she'd kept for over three years; she didn't know how he'd react. Well angry of course, but with her, or with Logan.
She walked into her room. Remy was sat on the bed with Akira sat next to him.
'Daddy, daddy kiss Mr wolvie'.
Jubilee smiled as the Cajun thief kissed the teddy bear on it's button nose. Akira looked up at her and squealed in delight.
'Mommy.'
Remy looked up and smiled at her. She mock frowned, as he crossed the room and swept her into an embrace.
'Getting jealous chere.'
Jubilee smiled though her heart was beating a mile a minute at the prospect of what she had to do next. She looked over at Akira.
'Akira would you like to go play with Uncle Bobby?'
'YAY!' Akira screamed jumping up and down on the bed. Uncle Bobby spoilt her rotten; Jubilee guessed it was because he was happy to finally have someone with the same mental age as him around.
'Can I tack Mr Wolvie with me?'
'Course you can darling.' Remy smiled.
Akira grabbed him and ran out the door. Jubilee walked over and closed it behind her. She turned round Remy was standing close to her. Turning on his famous Cajun charm, placing his hand on her cheek and looking her straight in the eyes.
Danm he wasn't going to make this easy for her. He lent forwards, pausing a few moments before he pressed his lips to hers in an agonisingly slow smooch.
Jubilee regretted it but she had to push him away.
'I need to talk to you' She said breathlessly.
'Oh?' Remy sat on the bed and quietly waited for her to tell him the problem, a look of pure understanding on his face. Better just get it over with Jubes she silently told herself. She took a deep breath.
'Logan is Akira's father.'
A few tense silent moments passed. Remy stood up wordlessly and walked out the door, leaving it open. Jubilee rushed after him.
'Where are you going?' she shouted.
'I'm going to kill him.' Remy replied his voice strangely calm.'
'Wait Remy listen to me!'
(Akira's p.o.v)
Akira stood looking at the strange man; he was sat on the bed of the room that until now had always been locked. Strangers didn't often come to the mansion. He noticed her; grey blue eyes fell upon grey blue eyes. They considered each other without a word.
'Hello' the strange man said.
Akira smiled and walked over to where the strange man sat.
'My names Akira.' She said holding out her hand as her mommy had taught her to. The strange man hesitated before taking her tiny hand in his giant rough skinned paw.
'I'm Logan.'
'Nice to meet you Mr Logan.'
Logan smiled at her, he pointed to her teddy.
'Hello Mr Wolvie.'
Akira gasped 'You know Mr Wolvie?'
Logan nodded.
'His my mommy's, do you know my mommy?'
'Yes'
'Do you know my daddy?'
Mr Logan didn't answer, he seemed sad. Perhaps he'd like to cuddle Mr Wolvie.
'Yes I know him.' Logan finally admitted.
The door slammed open, making Akira jump. Daddy was standing there looking so angry it scared her. He looked at Mr Logan, then looked at her.
'Akira go outside.' He shouted.
Starting to cry she ran out. Her mommy was running down the corridor, she saw her and knelt to gather her up in her safe arms.
'Daddy mad.'
'It will be okay, Akira sweetie.'
Akira didn't understand, daddy was mad, why?
(Jubilee P.O.V)
Jubilee was torn about what to do. On one hand she wanted to run in to Logan's room and try to calm Remy down, on the other Akira was scared and she wanted to take her away from here. Her daughter had to come first.
'It'll be okay Akira sweetie.'
She turned her back on Logan's room and walked down the hallway, as thudding sound started to come out of it.
'Professor' she mentally screamed.
