Once Upon a Dream Part X
"You all know why I have called you here today." Professor Charles Xavier said looking around at the people sitting in his office.
It had nearly been five years since Faye had moved to New York and much had changed.
Jean and Scott finally got married about a year ago and Ororo and Kurt were an item although their relationship was kept out of the public eye.
Rogue, Bobby, Kitty, Peter, and Faye graduated from being members of the Junior X-team and were now full fledged members.
Rogue and Bobby had split about a year ago, each moving on to someone else. Rogue had slowly gained better control of her powers but was not in full control of them. She and the newest member of the team, Remy LeBeau a Cajun from the deep south with an accent to prove it, had found each other and somehow made their relationship work.
Faye too had grown in powers though her maturity level was still the same.
Hank McCoy was still on his quest for mutant rights although a great deal of his time was spent teaching chemistry at the school.
Finally Xavier turned and looked at the final person sitting in the room.
Logan was in his usual chair, an annoyed expression on his face. Xavier knew it was almost time for Sydney to be off work and Logan was anxious to meet her.
Ah, Sydney and Logan. Their relationship had been strange to everyone, yet somehow they made it work and made it seem almost natural.
In the last five years, Sydney had gone though school and training, all the time holding a part time job at one of the local bars, much to the pleasure of Logan who often received free drinks and could easily keep an eye on her. Now she worked as a registered nurse in the ER of the local hospital. She worked long hours, days at a time, but never once complained.
Logan and Sydney's relationship was slow but the two worked it out. Sydney still lived at the apartment on Evergreen Terrace, much to the displeasure of Logan who spent all his free time there when Sydney was home.
The professor heaved a sigh before turning and looking at his X-men.
"As you know the threat of Apocalypse had reached an all time high and my fears have been confirmed. Someone out there is attempting to bring him back to power and therefore I have called a meeting with Magneto."
The group broke out in angry cries but were quickly silenced by a raise of the professor's hand.
"Yes I know the idea is not popular but we cannot deal with this threat on our own."
"Will you be going by yourself professor?" Jean questioned from where she was sitting with Scott's arm around her.
"No" Charles replied quickly, "I will only require a few members of the team there with me. Eric will not attack, not with a threat like Apocalypse out there."
The meeting was soon dismissed after the debate of who would accompany the professor. In the end, Scott, Hank and Rogue were selected.
Logan quickly exited the room and headed towards the garage where his bike stood waiting for him. He revved the engine and quickly drove, headed for the direction of Sydney's apartment.

Logan let himself in and his sensitive ears heard the sound of water running and Sydney's voice singing. The combination of the two could only mean Sydney was in the shower.
Chuckling as the sounds of 'Don't Cry For Me Argentina' drifted to his ears, Logan pealed off his jacket and tossed it on the couch before going to the fridge and grabbing a beer Sydney kept there just for him.
Like he promised all those years ago, Logan had taken Sydney out drinking on her twenty first birthday. It was a quiet occasion, just the two of them, and the end result was a very drunk Sydney laughing her ass off at anything and everything.
Logan opened his beer and took a long swig before grabbing another and closing the fridge. He walked over to the couch and stretched out, putting the extra beer on the coffee table and turning on the TV.
It didn't take long for the water to stop and Sydney to walk into the living room wearing one of Logan's favorite outfits, a pair of his boxers and a low-cut red spaghetti strap shirt.
"Hey Darlin'" he said pulling her over to him and placing her in his lap before capturing her lips.
"Logan what's wrong?" Sydney asked pulling away.
Logan sighed and shook his head knowing that he couldn't hide anything from her. "Chuck is calling a meeting tomorrow with Magneto."
"Is it about that mutant?" Sydney asked running her fingers through his hair in an attempt to calm him.
"Yeah" he replied moodily.
"Don't worry Logan the professor knows what he's doing." Sydney reassured him.
"Yeah I know." He replied before again capturing her lips with his.
It seemed that his lips had a mind of their own and soon were traveling to her neck and down.
"Logan" Sydney whispered.
"I know, I know" he said pulling away, "Too soon."
"No" Sydney replied, "I was going to say lets move this to the bedroom."
"Really?" he asked eyeing her hungrily.
"If you don't hurry I may change my mine." She replied.
Wordlessly Logan picked her up, earning a squeal from Sydney, and quickly rushed her to the bedroom.
