Summary: An unlikely hero brings a son home, and helps a mother heal in more ways than one.

Pairing: Elizabeth/Logan, mentions of past relationship

Inspiration: Wolverine has always been my favorite X-Men. Is it a wonder, with Hugh Jackman portraying him, that I came up with this pairing? This came to me because of X-Men 2 where Stryker is introduced, and his secret lab that gave Logan the metal for his claws. The whole incident with the labs, and Helena about a year ago reminded me of that and this idea was born. It's been a little while since I had it in my head, and finally I decided to write it. I also wanted to do a pairing that wasn't Liason in this. Hope you all enjoy.

Timeline: 2011 Its set after X-Men 2 and after the Niz affair.

Inspired by the songs:

"Fight Song" by Rachel Platten

Epilogue

TWO YEARS LATER

"I don't regret doing it, making sure my children were safe," Elizabeth watched them run around a play with children their own age without a care in the world. "I don't regret being selfish where they are concerned because it was to protect them. I just wish I never had been put in a situation like that. I burned so many bridges that day…"

Professor X smiled at her. They both stood out on the terrace with a clear view of the wide and open yard where many students were spending their Saturday, Jake and Cameron included. "But you've built many new ones," he told her, gently. "Stronger ones. Better ones."

Elizabeth smiled. "Yeah. I have. If it hadn't been for Logan, and this Institute…I'm not sure I would have had the strength to take my boys and leave Port Charles."

"You would have your way, I'm sure," Professor X told her, kindly.

Elizabeth doubted that though she did not say it out loud. She let her gaze fall on Jake, and Cameron who played basketball with other kids. These last couple of years had been challenging. If moving her and her kids to a whole new town wasn't challenging in itself, there had been most protest against it. The Spencers being the loudest of them all, but when a judge had sided firmly with Elizabeth, there had been little they could do. Nicolas after running some test of his own, realized that Aiden wasn't his son and after apologizing for what his grandmother had done left for Greece with his son.

Brooklyn was now trying to find a new man to con. Meanwhile, Carly had made a spectacle of herself and ended up getting herself arrested for being a public nuisance.

Jason hadn't bailed her out. Neither did he helped Sam who was now facing several charges, including ones for aiding in Jake's kidnapping both times. Elizabeth did not know if it was his way of apologizing, but it had been too little too late. She couldn't forgive him, and she couldn't trust him not to forgive Sam again. Monica Quartermaine had tried to sue her for custody of Jake, but after many witness stepped forward with reports of the abuse the nurse suffered at work from the doctor, it was quickly silenced.

Her grandmother had quickly admonished Elizabeth on her behavior and quickly turned her back on them when she found out Jake was a mutant. Her brother, surprisingly, had no role in Jake's disappearance, but had similar views on mutants, so his role in her life became null and void.

On a happier note, Scott had come a long way from his drunk days of depression. Aiden had been the light he needed, a reason to get up and start living again. The scar that Jean left behind had not been forgotten, but had been healed. He was now dating a woman named, Emma Frost, who ran another mutant school. The Xavier Institute was the best thing that could have happened to her and her boys. Cameron, even though he wasn't a mutant, never felt out of place. He had many friends, and even a slight crush on a girl named Jubilee. Jake was learning to control his powers, and growing stronger each and everyday. He hadn't had a nightmare about his abduction in over six months.

As for Elizabeth, she had finally found herself again. She didn't wake up seeing a stranger's face in the mirror. She woke up feeling happy, and fulfilled like her life was complete. Well, almost completely, she thought as her eyes found Logan's. He stood there a little ways away, with his arms folded over his chest.

"Go to him," Professor X urged her. Only a fool could not see how close the pair of them had grown over the last two years, but both of them were to stubborn.

Elizabeth smiled lightly before she took the professor's advice. She walked down the path, around a couple of students and all too soon she arrived at Logan's side.

Logan was a mixture of frustration, amusement and tenderness because of this tiny woman in front of him. Normally, the first two he could handle. He was frustrated because he'd wanted to get into her pants from the first time he had seen her in that doorway, and in two years that hadn't changed. He still wanted her, and was dealing with two years of build-up. He was amused because after taking the past two years to heal, and get into a good place, Elizabeth was finally acknowledging that she felt the same way. And she was completely nervous.

The tenderness? What the hell did he knew about it? He just knew that those blue eyes of hers had got somewhere underneath his skin. Her and her boys had cast some sort of spell on him and he did not think there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for them. He felt a slight smile on his face as he watched her shift nervously on the balls of her feet. "So…" She began, after a moment.

"So…" He copied her tone.

He could feel the frustration leak into her sweet scent, and it made his grin broaden. He was more than okay with frustration as long as he wasn't the only one feeling it. Her blue eyes looked up at him, accusing him silently because she knew that he was difficult on purpose. But hell, he had waited for two years. He wasn't making it easy on her.

"I was wondering something," Elizabeth said, slowly. Her hands clasped behind her back. She looked beautiful in her simple blue shirt and jeans.

"Oh? And what was that?" Logan arched a brow.

"You…you have become quite important to me over these last couple of years. There was a time in my life that I lost who I was, but then you found me. You just showed up on my doorstep, and you completely changed my life. Not only did you give me a second chance with my son, you gave me a second chance at life," Elizabeth told him, her voice trembled ever so slightly. Her eyes looked at him, filled with so much emotion. "You gave me the strength I needed to find the person that I lost underneath all the lies, mistakes and pain. You made me find that person and become better. Not only for myself, but for my boys. I will never be able to repay you for that."

"You'll never have to," Logan told her, his hands running up and down her arms in a slow, soothing motion. "I wish I had words to describe what I feel for you, but I've never had the most eloquent way of speaking. I just know…that before you, my life was a dark and cold place filled with no light. You came in, unexpected and as bright as the sun, and I know that I can't go back to the way it was before. I'd be lost without your light."

Her hand brushed across his bristly jaw, and her blue eyes stared up into his hazel ones. Before she lost her nerve, she stood upon her tippy toes and putting her arm around his neck, and pressed her mouth to his. No further words were needed to explain what she felt for him, she put everything she had into that kiss. And boy, did he response in kind.

His hands slipped around the back of her neck, his long fingers sliding under her hair and tangled up into her hair as he took charge of the kiss. The warmth and taste of her filled him, more perfect than he could have ever imagined. She let out a small moan, savoring the taste of him and the pressure of those firm lips against hers, the undeniable surge of excitement that rushed through. He made a low, rough sound in the back of his throat and changed the angle of his head, to abruptly deepened the kiss. Elizabeth made a pleased noise, her toes curling in her shoes and his arms wrapped around her waist to pull her more firmly to them. The two of them were so lost in each other they did see the two sets of eyes peering out of the nearby bush.

"Ew! That is so gross!" A whisper came from bushing.

"Does this mean Mister Logan is our new daddy?" Another whisper followed.

Elizabeth laughed into the kiss because the two people in the bush weren't quiet, and Logan pulled back just a hair to glance out of the corner of his eye at the seemingly innocent looking bush. "You know that we can hear you?" Logan stated, loudly. "Right?"

There was beat.

"Flee!" Cameron screamed, flying out of the bushes. He ran as fast as his little legs could carry him. "Runaway!"

"Hey! Wait for me!" Jake struggled to get out of the bushes. When he saw both adults looking at him, he gave them an impish smile. "Hi, mommy! Hi, Mister Logan."

"Hello," Elizabeth said.

"Hi, Jake," Logan said.

Jake looked at them for a long moment before he took off running after his brother without another word.

Elizabeth smiled, and shook her head. "My children…" she said, fondly.

"They take after their mother," Logan said.

"I'm going to take that as a compliment," Elizabeth eyed him.

"Oh, the highest," Logan smirked, his hands settling on her hips.

Elizabeth slid her hands up the back of his neck, her fingers entangling themselves into his hair at the base of his skull. "Just so you…just because I'm kissing you doesn't mean I'm going to have sex with you," she warned him, biting back a smirk.

Hazel eyes glinted down at her mischievously. "Yet," he replied, with a sexy smirk on his lips before he sealed them over hers. The two of them would never get enough of kissing one another.

END OF STORY!
