I'm sorry that this took so long I had summer assinements and then went camping (no computer) because my lab top broke and I have no idea when I can get a new one. I'm updateing as much as I can and at least with school starting I'll have a computer five days a week. Sorry to disappoint when it comes to speed and I don't think I have to tell you that I don't own X-Men because if I did I would have a fixed labtop by now. :(

Chapter 11: Arrival

"I can't believe that you just let him take off without anyone else with him! How do you know that he's even going to do what you asked? You can't trust him! I'm the one with the information and yet I'm also the one just sitting here doing nothing!" Mystique ranted.

The professor sighed, even as patient as he was some people are still capeable of getting annoying though he would never admit that and for the hundreth time that day the professor calmly stated, "I trust Logan and I believe he will get here as soon as he can."

"Besides," Scott said cutting in, "We wouldn't even have to be here with you if you would just tell us who the hell he's after to begin with. Then you wouln't have nothing to do."

"I quite agree with Scott." said Storm in a forced calm voice.

"Why can't you just cut the crap and tell us already then we can get to work and by the time Logan and Rogue get back, because it's too late to stop them now, we could have everything started, and you could still talk to her." Jean said irritated as everyone else.

Mystique screamed and sent out a long stream of creative words. "He had better hurry or I swear it will be too late and all your guy's fault."

Then she stormed out of the room leaving each of them to think that this was going to get irritating. Too bad that they didn't know that Logan was probably in worse shape then all of them and probably would have switched spots in a second. At least he could beat the crap out of Mystique, Rogue not to much.

Rogue just stared at the door. It couldn't be him was all that she could think. He would not completely destroy her trust in him my chasing her when she doesn't want to be chased. But there was no mistaking it. Logan had just walked in and now she was pissed. She pushed herself infront of Remy and Henry who started asking questions but she wasn't listening anymore. She grabbed Logans arm and dragged him outside. "What the hell are you doing here Wolverine!" she shouted.

She made sure that her tone held no compation because she was pissed. "Hey, Stripes, could you at least let me explain? I," He started but was cut off.

"You what!" she shouted again, "Why the hell would you just show up here for god knows why? I know you understand the feeling of just wanting to leave! You do it all the time and no one follows you so why the hell wouldn't you return the favor!" Rogue was so angry she forgot she was here with people, or at least she had forgotten until they came charging outside to see what was happening.

She went to punch him and he didn't bother to dodge it he knew she was venting and she knew that he would heal easily, but they didn't so they attempted to stop her. She swung her arm around and used the power she had gotten from Jean to throw them back and then used Magneto's power to hold Wolverine still while she threw all of her strength into her punches. It wouldn't have been that bad but between being held still by the metal that runs through his bones and her using his own strength against him it ended up hurting worse than he had originally thought that it would.

"Anna what are you doing to this guy? Who is he, and why are you trying to kill him?" Henry yelled.

Rogue laughed a dry humorless laugh, "I couldn't kill him even if I wanted to, though right now I might just want to."

"You guys might just want to stay out of this. 'Darlin can you stop trying to kill me for a minute. You friends might just want an explation before they have to hide the body." Logan said looking at Rogue. "Stripes, could you listen to me please." Logan tried again.

Mercy looked at them, "Marie, Anna Marie, are you going to explain this to us, please?"

Rogue stopped throwing punches and looked at them and then she released Logan so that he could move on his own. "Come." she said before starting to walk and head over to the theives guilds house, since that was who she was with right now, and they needed her to explain what they had just wittnessed.

"Wolverine this is Henry, Remy, and Mercy." she said pointing to each of the three as she said their names, "And you guys this is Wolverine. He's one of the X-Men, and pretty damn brave if I must say so myself, because he followed me here apparently."

Rogue was still glaring at him and he was starting to feel uncomfortable. "First Chuck made me, and second," he started but again he was cut off.

"Oh, the professor made you. Is that really what you're going with. The man who refuses to invade anyone's privacy made me invade your's. Are you sure that you want that to be your final answer. I'll give you a few more minutes to think of a better excuse if you'd like." Rogue said tapping her foot impatiently.

Wolverine went to talk again but was cut off by someone else. This time it was Henry who spoke, "Would you please explain what's happening. You said he was one of the X-Men, and he followed you here." he looked over at Wolverine, "Why would you follow her?"

Wolverine growled, "At least someone might listen to me." he took a deep breath. "Mystique showed up and demanded that she be able to see you, Rogue, and it seems important. She said it was about Sinister. According to Mystique she knows something and the only person she'll tell is you because she said that you're the only person in the X-Men that she trusts or something like that."

Rogue just stared at him. She still didn't want to forgive him. She wasn't in the forgiving mood, and honestly she hardly ever is, but what he had said about Mystique seemed a little more important than her anger right now. Remy was the next person to talk. "So what you want her to just take off with you? She has her own party to go to tomorrow. Do you suggest that she leave again?"

Rogue and Mercy just looked at him. Henry and Mercy knew that though Remy wasn't here the last time she left, he did know how it affected both guilds and that this party was important to both of them, mostly though his dad and brother, so he decided to try to convince her to stay for the benift of everyone in both guilds. Beside Remy had heard that after she had been put in both guilds there was peace, and they haven't had peace like that since she left.

Wolverine growled at his questions. It was obvious to him, of course she was going to leave, and so what about a party, a party was nothing, not important. Mystique and Sinister was very importat that the moment. He was going to point this out when Rogue cut in. "I'll leave after tomorrow's party. I'm sorry you guys but this seems like it's important. I will come back and I'll visit, a lot, I promise."

Mercy sighed, "I really don't want you to go Marie. None of us do. Is it possible that one of us could go with you? Just so that we know that you're okay."

Wolverine looked at them all and shook his head. "Xavier's school and the X-Men are mutaints only. Bringing you guys over there might make the students uncomfortable. Sorry but we can't do that."

Henry shot a look at Remy but not even Wolverine noticed. Henry wasn't going to push him into anything, expeshally for someone who Remy doesn't even really know.

"Do you know anything about what Mystique knows or why she really wants me in particular? I know that what you've told me isn't everything Logan." Wolverine breathed a sigh in relief, because if she was calling him Logan she was starting to calm down, which is good because there's no talking to her when she's mad. "So how much do you really know?" Rogue asked.

"Honestly we don't know much. She's done good at only giving us what we absoultly needed to be conviced. She gave us no more than the professor needed to be conviced that this was serious and we should go and get you. All she said was that Sinister was after someone in particular this time, and that the only person she was going to tell was you and if we wanted to protect that person and stop Sinister we had to bring her to you. That's where the professor drew the line and said that instead we would bring you to her. I didn't want to intrupt you vacation here but Chuck thinks that she's telling the truth." Wolverine explained, his way of apologizing for just showing up and intruding on her personal life.

Rogue shrugged. She didn't really care anymore, but she was thankful that at least it was Wolverine and not someone else. It could have always been worse. Mystique or Bobby could have come or really anyone other Logan, because she could almost garantee that who ever it was would have told someone, most likely the professor, because even he doesn't know where she used to live, or anything about her life that Logan had just appeared in.

After a moment of silence it was Henry who spoke up, "If you would like to stay with us here. The party will be at the assassin's guild, so she'll be staying the night with us and then we'll bring her over tomorrow for the party and you can come with us if you'd like. Any friend of Marie's is a friend of ours."

Logan nodded and it was Rogue who offered to bring him to his room, and once they were in there alone he asked, "Do you want me to go Rogue, 'cause if you don't I won't go. I don't want to intrude on your life here."

Rogue smiled saddly, "I barely have a life here anymore I'm not the same and neither is anyone else. It's just nice to see my friends again, and my," Rogue stopped she didn't want to finish the sentence because it would get her hopes up and she didn't want to be let down, "Some one important might show up too." she finished instead.

Logan nodded before asking, "Is Marie your real name? 'Cause that's what everyone has been calling you. You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

"Since when do I answer when I don't want to? Yeah, my real name is Anna Marie, and everyone here either calls me Anna or Marie. By the way I'd really like it if you were to never repeat any of this to anyone, ever."

Logan chuckled, "Deal."

As Rogue went to leave she turned around and added, "And to show how much I care I won't tell anyone I saw you in a tux." Logan looked confused, and so she explained, "Because that's what you'll be wareing at the party tomorrow." and she shut the door.

Though she could still hear Wolverine growling on the other side and she felt some vindictive pleassure in making him a little miserable. Misery loves company and right now he was her's, even more so if her brother doesn't show up to the party.
