~The Rescue~

Wolverine was sitting in the camp and trying hard not to rip out Scott's heart. "I don't care if you have to take a damn pill Scott, go to bed." He said taking in a deep breath, it was hard to meditate when you had a rather whiny man going on about his problems with his girlfriend. When he'd had it he got in Scott's face his hand around the others throat. "SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH!" He yelled at his wife's friend. "YOU Have her, with you here. Joss is GONE Scott, so stop fucking whining about how you and Emma are having ANTOHER fight and think about if she was just GONE." Scott sighed softly shaking his head. "Logan, I wasn't talking." He said softly looking at his friend. Logan fell back and shook his head. "The power transfer is getting stronger which means we are getting closer my friend." Charles said walking over, with new inventions from Forge making it able for him to walk. Logan looked at his friend and mentor, the man who was his father in law. "I'm Sorry Scott." he said looking at his team mate. "No need to apologize Logan, we've all got your back looking for her, we all miss her and want her back." Logan nodded his head and rubbed his face hard praying his wife was alright.

Joss sighed feeling Logan's outburst clear as day, she knew that her friends and family where close to her, because the closer they all got the stronger her connection with her husband got. Not letting it show was the hard part. Looking up she frowned as Sinister was on the other side of the glass wall of her cell. "Oh lookie here, someone forgot to take out the trash..." Joss said looking at the evil man who wouldn't let her go. "You know, eventually Nathaniel you are going to mess the fuck up. And the moment you do, Logan, and all my family are going to be threw your front door so fucking fast, and when Logan gets his hands on you, the Lord in Heaven wouldn't be able to save you then." She was angry, he'd taken her daughter as soon as she'd given birth to her. Joss had only been able to see her little Rose Elyssa twice a day. "Let me see my DAUGHTER!" She screamed the last part pounding her fist on the glass and growling at him. Joss felt Logan tugging at her anger and hated to but had to shut him out. If he knew Rose was here too he'd go crazy, she just couldn't put him through that. She closed her eyes and pressed her forehead to the glass taking deep breaths to calm herself. "My Dear joss, if you would just tell them to go away, tell them to not look for you, I would let you have your daughter." Sinister said looking at her. "I don't know HOW to Nathaniel." She lied tears running down her face. Joss knew she'd give her life to make sure her daughter was safe and when Logan broke in here she'd let him know he had a daughter and Rose was more important than her.

A blue flash lit an uninhabited hallway of Sinister's labs. Slim in stature this person was wearing all black, from their toes to their finger tips, the black of a shadow ninja. Even the color of the persons eyes where whited out. Lifting hands that where slim and dainty the mutant ninja bent the light around them becoming invisible. Sneaking down the hall passed the glass wall of Joss's cell and Sinister the person stopped to Listen. "My Dear Joss, there is no way for them to get in without me knowing it." The Ninja stood there listening to the conversation lifting the key deftly from Sinister's side. Moving the ninja walked into the nursery and quieted the child laying there. The baby had black hair, and the bluest of blue eyes. "You'll be just fine Rose Howlett." The Ninja whispered with a woman's voice.

Lifting her head she went to the door that lead out of Sinister's lab. Closing it behind her she walked until she found the camp of the X men. "Wow, this is the all fearsome X Men... sleeping in when there's a woman to be saved..." She let the light snap back to place revealing her ninja clad body. She stood 5 foot five inches tall, she had curves but not like Joss did, she had a lean fit body hips that flared out from a tiny waist. "Who the hell are you..." Logan asked arching his eyebrow. The Ninja took off her mask but her eyes stayed whited out so the color of her eyes where hidden. Her black as night hair with beachy curls fell just past her chin in a messy way. "I was sent to help. By the order of the Shadow Ninja's." She said quietly. "We know you and your wife, You where in our order once so was she. When we heard of her kidnapping I was dispatched to help. I'm what some would call an animal class mutant with powers over light and shadows." She gave a smirk and shook her head softly as she looked at Wolverine. "I truly mean only to help. I've been inside Sinister's lab I can lead you there and get you in quietly." She said looking to Charles. "If none of you trust me have Xavier read my mind." The Ninja walked up to the man who had formed the team and held out her hand. "I've no telekinesis or telepathy. Only a small amount of empathy to use. Nothing that can fool Charles Xavier." Charles read her mind but found blocks in certain area's.

When he was done reading her he found she was telling the truth, that she mean no harm to Joss or Logan or anyone in their group. "She is telling the truth. What do we call you." Charles asked and she lifted her head meeting the eyes of everyone in the team. "They call me Ghost." she said nodding her head. "That is all I can tell you for now. We can not go until Dark." Ghost said quietly as she sat down next to Charles. "He has massive security around your wife and daughter." she said looking at Logan who's head snapped up. "Your wife was pregnant when she was taken, and thanks to Sinister's knowledge gave birth to a fully developed baby girl a month ago. She named her Rose Elyssa Howlett. After your childhood friend and mother." Logan looked at her and shook his head. "How can you possibly know all this, do you have spies in there..." Logan asked gruffly still not sure he should trust the woman, more like girl, they where talking two. "Yes we do, ME. I've been sneaking around in there for quiet some time. Saw your wife give birth. Saw her name the child then I saw that bastard rip your daughter out of her hands and tell her she'd only feed her twice, and see her no other times." Ghost closed her eyes shaking her head.

Back in the Lab Joss was striding back and forth holding her daughter as she slept. It was late, some lackey had left Rose with her while they went to bed. That was fine by Joss seeing as she got to spend time with her new born daughter. She heard something and lifting her head her husband walked out of the shadows with a woman. Jossalyn smiled running to the glass. "I knew you'd come." She said her hand on the glass. "Who is she..." Jo asked arching her eyebrow as Ghost stepped forward. "I'm here to help. We need to get you and Rose out of here before Nathaniel wakes up." Going over to a panel in the wall Ghost bypassed the security measures and opened Joss's cell. "You three get out of here." Ghost said softly nodding to Joss and Logan. "What about making Nathaniel pay..." Logan growled. "Don't worry I've got that covered, and trust me when I say this Logan, I have far more to make him pay for than you do." Ghost disappeared into the shadows behind her.

Logan got his wife and daughter out of there but had a nagging feeling he needed to go back and help her. "Joss just stay here with the others, she helped us I don't feel right leaving her there alone with that maniac." Logan said going back to Sinister's lab. When he got there he stopped slinking around he heard talking. "You think you could just kidnap me and make me into some willing lover in the future Nathaniel. That worked about as well as it did with my mom." that was Ghost talking looking through the door way Nathaniel's back was to him and he could see Ghost. Her eyes where blue, the bluest of blues and her messy curly hair was down. "You see the only problem with that Nate was you lied to me, for years and years. You told me my parents never wanted me, they hated the idea of me. Logan and Joss LOVED me, they Love that baby that is me. I've come from the future to end this, here and now." Nathaniel walked towards her cupping her face. "My love, don't you see I had to lie, I had to make sure they could not taint your thoughts of me." Ghost slapped his hand away. "You did that all by yourself Nate. If you could just be more human, but anything remotely human was sucked out of you by apocalypse years ago." Tears where running down the girls face as she stood there. "You made me love you and then you ripped my world away from me." Ghost said softly shaking her head at Nathaniel. "I could never ever be with you after knowing you took my life away from me to ensure my 'co operation'. Your a monster." Sinister slapped her across the face and shook his head. "You will love me, or you will die." Ghost glared at him. "Then I will die." She said and gasped as Nathaniel shoved a blade into her chest.

Having been watching the whole thing, and figuring out the girl was an older future version of his daughter Logan when berserk when he saw Nathaniel stab her. "NO!" He screamed in a growly voice as he ran at Nathaniel. They fought, and Ghost lay on the floor bleeding out because the knife hadn't been removed from her chest. "I'll kill you that's my daughter you bastard." Logan growled and Nathaniel laughed. "Trust me Logan, she is not your daughter, not anymore. She was my lover." Logan growled and his claws came out. "You sick fuck." Logan said shaking his head. "Logan how kind of you to ask, I'm sure she was a wonderful fuck." Nathaniel Laughed and Logan growled the berserker coming out in him. Logan rushed Nathaniel and was thrown against the wall. Ghost pushed herself up just long enough to take the knife out of her chest and shoving it into Nathaniel's back. "That's my father you bastard. Die knowing I love him far more than I could ever love you." She twisted the blade before passing out. Logan ran over to her picking her up and rushing her to the Blackbird for medical attention.

Back at the mansion Jossalyn was taking care of the baby version of Rose while the older version was getting set up with rooms. Logan walked over to the baby in the crib and then looked at his wife. "I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you when our baby was born Joss." The brunette shook her head and kissed her husband. Nathaniel was dead, the knife hit his heart instantly killing him. Ghost was fine the knife Nathaniel had used missing any of her vital organs. "Its not your fault babe." Joss said kissing his cheek. "You got us back that's what matters. And he can't ever hurt us again." Logan nodded his head. "Our daughter did most of it. She led me straight to you." Logan said softly. Since she'd gotten there Roe hadn't been speaking. He was worried about her but she had spoken just enough to tell him to worry about baby her and Joss. So that's what he did. "Being back home is amazing Logan." Joss put baby Rose back in her crib while she slept and hugged her husband close. "Stop worrying so much Logan. She's here in the mansion she'll be fine." He wasn't so sure though, something in him said the older version of their daughter wouldn't be sticking around for very long.

Logan and Jossalyn had gone to bed and when they woke up Joss had found a note. "She Left..." Jo said looking down at the note there daughter had written them.

'Dear Papa, and Mama

I know you wanted me to stay. But I can't not right now, I didn't grow up with a family like the X men, I didn't grow up with a home like this. I grew up falling in love with the man I killed. I know he was evil and I know he would have never changed, I'm from the future. But I still loved him. He was still all I ever knew in this world. I came back to make sure that wasn't the case anymore. I hope you both can forgive me for breaking the rules, for killing someone, for loving Nathaniel. And when I'm ready I will come back, I promise. Just love each other and take care of baby me. Don't worry I'll write every now and then.

Love Always,

Roe.'

Logan took a deep breath. She might look like her mother, except for the hair and eyes, but he could tell she had his personality. "We have to go find her Logan. Our baby is Out in the world she's all alone." Logan shook his head holding baby Rose in his arms. "No Darlin. Our baby is right here in my arms safe and sound. Roe is a grown girl, who grew up in a life neither of us can imagine. And she's too much like me for her own good. We need to let her be darlin. Lets just take care of Baby Rose and let Roe live the life she chooses. We can only love Roe and support her, she is an adult now Darlin. Baby Rose here is the one that really needs us to help her. She's a baby." Joss nodded her head as she took their child and held her. "You know best Logan. I just hope she knows she can call this place home." Logan nodded his head and wrapped his arms around his wife and baby girl. "She knows we love her." He said softly kissing her temple and smiling down at his baby girl. He'd like to think they'd live happily ever after but their lives as X men would ensure they'd be safe, but in some amount of danger for the rest of their lives. Logan was just glad he had his wife and daughter back and was going to spend all his free time loving them both. Joss smiled at her husband and kissed him again, thinking about how much she loved the animal of a man. "I love you Logan, from the day I met you to the day I die I love you." Joss said and smiled when Logan kissed her deeply in response. "Forever Kid, me you and Rose, that's all I'll ever need from now on to be happy." Logan responded hugging his wife and child.
