Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with x-men besides some trading cards and a copy of the movie.

I do appreciate the reviews and the fact that you're not ready to kill me for lay this to the side for so long. I'm back and I promise short of incapacitation, internet melt down, or unforeseen forceful detainment I will not let it happen again.

Spring break had begun and the mansion seemed very empty to Logan. It seemed like there would be no place to hide here and that is exactly what he was wanting. He was seriously considering running for the week, but part of him just couldn't get up the gumption to go.

Ororo was very much aware that Logan had proceeded to avoid her after the kitchen incident. Scott had wanted to know what she had said to him.

"What did you say or do to Wolverine to make him not want to even fight with me Storm?"

"I don't know what you are referring to."

"All I know is that I saw you leaving the kitchen and when I got to the door Wolverine was calling himself an idiot. I couldn't help but agree..."

"Scott why do insist on making a bad situation worse. Jean wasn't even around. At least let a sleeping beast lay."

"You're right, but that's not the point. He just walked out telling me that now wasn't the time. I was just wondering if you could teach me how to shut him up like that."

"I do not understand his reaction, but this is not your affair I would appreciate it if you left it alone."

Scott didn't like being told to butt out but form Storm he could take it.

She couldn't figure out why thier encounter would shake up Logan. He was her friend, sort of, but why would he be so thrown that he didn't even want to fight with Scott. Scott got under Logan's skin and Wolverine was prone to cut out any irritation. Since that was not an option he had taken to irritating right back. Honestly she was surprised that both of them had survived this long. That's when the thought floated across her mind. A thought that she dismissed immediately, but wouldn't ever be able to fully get rid of. She wondered why someone as guarded as Logan opened up himself for public rejection again and again. She, like everyone else, assumed it was a combination of how deeply he felt for Jean and the fact that Jean had a tendency to encourage him. A fact that had always made Ororo mad. She loved Jean, but doing that to Scott was terrible. Even doing that to Logan was bad. She could not complain about the effect it had on herself. Ororo had decided not to disclose her feelings to anyone. What ever pain she felt because of that was her own doing she told herself.

It made it easier anyways. This way she didn't have anyone to blame but herself for her pain. That was besides the point because now she wondered if he'd been letting everyone see his true feelings after all. No one really thought that Jean would ever leave Scott for Logan. Logan had to see this; he was by no means dense. So why keep trying. He did nothing else that way why this. Of course in matters of the heart we all can become fools Ororo thought, but now that the question had been raised it would not be quiet. Could Logan be chasing Jean as a way to get at Scott? Thinking back it did seem that he took more pleasure in Scott's reaction's than Jean's little encouragements.

Between what happened in the kitchen and this there was no way that Ororo had any intention of letting Logan ignore her over Spring Break. She had one mission this week and that was to confront Logan head on about all of it.

AN: please review.
