Leave Me Alone

"That was a very good Danger Room session today." Storm said as they came out and walked down the hall. "All except Logan."

She said looking at him. Everyone just walked by without a second look. He was in trouble... again.

"Look Storm, I'm sorry. I'm trying though." Logan said once everyone was out of earshot.

Storm nodded. "Yes, I realized Logan. You're getting better, but you still seem out of it." She sighed slowly.

Logan turned his head away. "Have you talked to her yet?" He asked.

Storm blinked a few times in confusion before understanding. "No not yet. She slept until about three this afternoon and when she came downstairs she didn't really look like I should disturb her. Then she went back to her room and I haven't seen her since."

Logan thought for a minute. "What about Kitty? They share a room. Did Kitty talk to her."

Storm sighed. Clearly he wasn't going to give up so easily. "Kitty said she didn't say much except... well Kitty tried to make her go for a walk after Rogue ate but Rogue didn't feel up to it. When Kitty persisted Rogue kind of snapped at her to leave her alone. So Kitty left her alone."

Logan sighed. "Storm... I think there's something wrong with her."

"No! You think?" Storm said sarcastically. Logan looked at her sharply. "Sorry Logan, but I have noticed."

She led the way back down the hall and into the elevator. "I don't feel comfortable with confronting her. At least, not yet. I think she might be regretting getting the cure."

"But she told me getting the cure was what she wanted." Logan said.

But I still blame you Iceman, whatever else she might have said.

"I realize that Logan." Storm sighed, and by know, she started to sound impatient. "But she probably misses having her powers, despite how much she might have hated having it. She probably feels like she doesn't belong here anymore."

The elevator doors opened. "We can finish talking later." Storm said as she went to her room to change before dinner. But she stopped partway down the hall. "Keep up the extra work in Danger Room Logan, and I'll let you remain on the team."

------------------------------------------------------------------

Logan walked into the kitchen to see the only ones in there so far was Kitty, Piotr and Bobby.

Ice prick. Logan thought in annoyance as he sat at the opposite end of the table so he was as far away as possible from Bobby.

Logan reached across the table and began loading his plate up with the stew sitting in the middle of the table. As he ate, he spotted a newspaper on the chair next to him and he opened it up, reading it until he heard some else come in the kitchen.

Logan looked up from the newspaper and he nearly choked on his food. Rogue stood in the doorway, eyes scanning the room. For a brief moment, Logan willed her to make eye contact with him, but her eyes skimmed right over him to land on Bobby.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" She asked, barely loud enough for Bobby to hear.

Bobby shrugged and stood up and made his way across the kitchen to her. "Hey. What's up? I missed you." He whispered so the other couldn't hear, but Logan could hear with a little help from his heightened sense. Logan led the impression he couldn't hear by burying his face in the newspaper.

"Bobby... I've been thinking. Maybe this isn't any good." Rogue said, her voice sounding choked.

"What do you mean? What's no good?" Bobby sounded thoroughly surprised and confused.

"This. Us. I don't think we're meant to be..." Rogue said quietly, and Logan knew if he lowered the newspaper, Rogue would look on the brink of tears.

"What do you mean? Why not." Bobby sounded confused beyond belief.

"Bobby, please. I've thought about this and I don't think it's going to work." Suddenly Rogue did burst into tears.

Logan nearly smirked. At least Rogue had enough sense to dump the Ice loser. Logan nearly smacked himself when he heard her crying. Why was she breaking up with Iceman if it was clearly causing her so much pain?

Logan finally lowered the newspaper and looked at Rogue, whose face was buried in her hands, and Bobby was holding her shoulders, and trying to make eye contact with her. From the corner of his eye, he could see Kitty and Peter watching the exchange as well.

"Rogue. Maybe you shouldn't break up with me." Bobby said quietly, so the others couldn't hear him. "If it's making you so upset, maybe we should just stay a couple." Bobby suggested.

Suddenly Rogue was looking at him, but her eyes were not sad in any way. Far from it. Her eyes were alight with a fire of pure rage. "Why?!" Rogue half growled, half screamed. "Why do you think I'm crying over you?!" She snapped. "You selfish jerk! Not everything is about you!"

Bobby blinked a few times, shocked. "Well... I just assumed."

"The Earth doesn't revolve around you Robert Drake!" Rogue screamed, sounding very threatening at the use of Iceman's full name. She spun on her heel and began to storm out of the room.

"Rogue! Wait a second!" Bobby called and took a few steps in her direction.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!!" She screamed louder than ever and ran out the room, crying again.

Bobby just stood frozen in the middle of the room, gaping. He finally turned to look at Kitty and Peter, who returned blank looks.

"I didn't do anything! I swear!" Bobby stuttered.

Except reduce Rogue to tears. Logan thought in his head. Way to go Ice dick. But something confused Logan. Rogue had been crying during her whole break up with Bobby, but wasn't crying over him, so why had she been crying? Or had she just been lying?

Logan stood up and left the kitchen and three confused teenagers. Suddenly he didn't feel hungry. Something was wrong with Rogue, and he, Logan, was going to be the one to figure out what it was.

A/N: Dun Dun Dun. Next chapter our Logan will be doing some investigating on a certain Rogue. Don't worry, the jar mystery will be solved shortly as will the many other mysteries surrounding Rogue. For now review and I'll continue to work on it.
