Rogue sat on Logan's bed thinking about what to do next. He had gone in search of Jean in a desperate attempt to see if there was anything remaining. Scott wanted to do it but Logan offered since he was indestructible. Well, mostly. She sighed and curled into a ball, resting her head on his pillow. She'd been in the danger room all morning practising her new abilities. Flight was going well and she could control her strength but when it came to recall other's abilities she would end up with migraines. The migraines stopped when she turned her powers off, effectively shutting down all the psyches. Accept Carol's of course.

All in all when they headed out to face Magneto in battle, she'd just stick with the strength and flying. Of course that was something she was not looking foreword to. Then again who was. Everyone had something to lose. But it was the things that were gained after the war was over that they had to look foreword to. Depending on the loss and the gain. She heard heavy footsteps and looked up. Logan was home. The door opened and she blinked trying to remove the sleep from her eyes.

'Rogue?'

She rubbed her tired eyes and smiled at him. He kicked his door shut and came to sit on the bed next to her.

'It's good to have you back darlin'.'

'Good to be back.'

'What you did, touching Jean, it was really brave. You saved the professor's life. You saved everyone's life. You're a hero.'

'Thanks. How was the mission?'

'I found out where Magneto's base is. Also that Mystique is human now, she's already given information to the government.'

'Oh yeah, Hank mentioned that. How's Jean?'

'In there somewhere.'

'Why are there twigs in your hair?'

'Magneto thought it would be hilarious to send me flying through tree's.'

'Aww, poor baby.'

'So what's new with you?'

'Umm…I cooked dinner last night. And I'm divorced.'

'Really?'

'Yeah.'

She stood up slowly and began knocking on one of the walls.

'So who is in this room?' she asked.

'Tinman, I think.'

'Fascinating.' she mumbled.

She walked over to the other side, smirk spreading on her face. He opened his mouth, but she shook her head.

'Ask the question later. This room?'

'No-one.'

'Even better.'

'You done detective?'

'Sure. Ok so firstly I have super strength.'

She moved over to the bed and pulled it back before pushing it against the wall. The wall shook. She closed her eyes and thought of Logan. Easy since his scent wafted in the room. Then she clamped her hands on the bed. She opened her eyes and smiled as she saw that she hadn't damaged the bed.

'Got control of it. I can also fly. But that won't be an issue.'

'Issue?'

'We're getting there.'

'Anything else?'

'I can control the whole soul-sucking thing.'

'You mean you can touch.'

'Yeah, is that okay?'

'That's great Marie.'

She smiled and walked back over to him. He carefully reached out and put a hand on her cheek. She smiled and put her hand over his hand.

'I love you Logan. And I want you. I slept with Scott trying to make you jealous. I figured he was the one person who would make you realize my feelings for you. Like with Jean. Then I tried to reach out to you by helping you sleep. Because I felt guilty about what I was doing with Scott. And Pyro. Well I really was scared I'd never get married. You'd left and it felt like you'd left me. Rogue is cold and heartless. Rogue is the side of me that is untameable and that wanted all that. But Marie, she belongs to you. She always will. We're not so different, you and I.'

'Love you too.'

She smiled and leaned in. Their lips met and years of waiting and wanting made the kiss deepen quickly and the passion seep in. Rogue tugged her shirt off and threw it to the ground. Logan pulled back and raised an eyebrow.

'No bra?'

'You would have just sliced it off sugar.'

He nodded before his tongue lavished her nipple. She gasped and grabbed a handful of his hair. He teased each nipple causing shivers to run down her spine. She smirked.

'Two can play this game.' she purred.

She latched her arms around his neck and moved her hips causing friction against his groin. He growled and gently bit her nipple making her moan. She went faster and faster eliciting more groans from him. He was leaving a trail of wet kisses all over her chest making her gasps come out faster. Finally she was reaching breaking point, her own core on fire, she leapt off him and landed…well floating in the air. His eyes darkened at how beautiful she looked. She floated in mid air, head tilted back, breasts up, nipples perked and irritated, panting heavily.

'God Logan!' she gasped.

'What?'

She lifted her head and smiled seductively.

'Must say it feels good to be with a man. A real man.'

He chuckled and inclined his head.

'I aim to please mam.'

She smiled and looped her finger in her belt loop. With a wink she pulled using her strength to tug her jeans off. He gasped and she smiled sweetly.

'Oops. Forgot my underwear.'

'Marie…'

She shook her head and nodded at his jeans. He stood and in a few seconds he'd removed his clothes. She hovered still looking appreciatively at his muscular body.

'Mm, much better.'

He reached out and pulled her wrist. She willingly flew into him. Their bodies pressed together. She shivered and he reached down to kiss her gently on her lips. She wanted this. More than anything.

'Marie?'

'Yeah?'

'Why were you knocking on the walls before?'

'I was checking if the room was soundproof.'

'Why?'

She moved back and smiled at him.

'Because sugar, I'm a screamer.'

-xXx-

Rogue woke up the next morning in a state of bliss. Not only had she had the most thrilling, passion filled night of her life but here she was next to a naked Logan, living proof that it had all really happened. She sighed contently and turned so that she was facing him. His eyes were closed and his breathing slow. His arms were still wrapped tightly around her indicating that he was not really asleep. She chuckled softly.

'You do know the professor is waiting for us?'

The corners of his mouth twitched but he didn't open his eyes.

'Let him wait.'

'I can't do that.'

'Why not?'

She carefully freed one of her hands and touched his cheek. His eyes fluttered open. She smiled and raised an eyebrow. He sighed and let her go. She stood up and stretched her limbs. Then she closed her eyes and concentrated on her blocks. Rearranging her psyche's she pushed her own power further back. Opening her eyes again she smiled at Logan and moved to get changed.

Thirty minutes later, after Logan dragged her into a shower with him, they were on their way to the professor's office.

'Logan?'

'Yeah.'

'Why were you so upset when you found out I was married?'

'It's complicated.'

'Logan, do you want me to suck the information from you.'

'Easy tiger. It's…well… I thought I'd lost my chance.'

'Your chance?'

'To be with you.'

'Aww, that's so sweet! Logan…'

'Jesus Marie, lower your voice.'

'Oh, you're scared the little kiddies will see that Uncle Wolvie is a big teddy.'

'Marie…'

She stopped at the professor's door, hand poised on the door handle.

'Guess you're going to have to spank me later.' she whispered.

She looked over her shoulder and saw his eyes darken and a feral grin appear on his face. She winked and entered the office. As soon as she entered she was knocked backwards by a ball of yellow. Luckily Logan was behind her and caught her and her attacker. He carefully pried Jubilee on her feet and then set Rogue back on her feet.

'So much for super strength.' he muttered.

She turned around and glared at him.

'I was suppressing it. If I hadn't Jubilee would have been knocked out.'

'You're sexy when you're angry.' he growled.

'Well…'

'Ahem.'

Rogue blushed and mumbled an apology. Logan shrugged, closing the door. They entered and took the last remaining seats. Jubilee moved her chair next to Rogue and sat.

'You're late.' scolded Scott.

Rogue rolled her eyes.

'Let's not go there. Can I just know why Jubilee tried to tackle me?'

Jubilee gave a sniff and then tears came. Rogue's expression softened and she patted her friends hand.

'What?'

'We think it's best if she stayed.' whispered Storm.

'Okay, I'm guessing that we all know that Bucket head wants to go to Alcatraz and kill the kid with the cure.'

The professor nodded.

'Okay, so I'm assuming Scott's team leader again.'

The professor shook his head as Storm and Scott nodded. The professor sighed and looked out the window.

'That's why I wanted you to be early. I want you to lead us in this particular method. You've grown a lot Rogue and even though you are younger and don't have the same field experience you have enough knowledge from your various absorptions...'

'I don't think that…'

'Charles is right Rogue. After everything, you're ready for this.' whispered Storm.

'I may have assumed but I know I'm not ready. You are.' smiled Scott.

'I guess I could, you are in my head.'

'Then it's settled. Well, my dear, tell them your plan.'

Rogue took a deep breath. She'd been thinking about this all night. Which is why she'd not pestered Logan to much about getting to this meeting on time. The professor would first tell them everything. The whole truth and nothing else. That way no questions could be asked while she had her say.

'Okay, the professor is staying with the children. The phoenix is too eager to kill him so we won't give her that opportunity. Jubilee is coming with. Magneto has an army. We need everyone. Besides I've been training with her for a month and she is excellent. But Jubs I want you to know this is serious. This isn't like the danger room sessions. We might not come back from this. There's no second chances. All of you have to think about that before we go. Lives could be lost, there are going to be injuries and in the end sacrifices must be made. If we're going to do this, we're going to do this right. In fact we're not even going think about tomorrow. What matters is today, this moment. We're the x-men. This is what we do.'

'Well spoken Rogue.'

Rogue smiled at the professor. She felt a hand wrap around hers and looked at Logan. She gave him a sad smile.

'We leave in an hour. Prepare the jet Scott.'

Scott nodded and left. Storm and Kurt stood up and teleported out. Jubilee gave her a hug and skipped out merrily. Kitty and Peter both came to hug her and then they left. Hank and the professor nodded before heading to the med lab. Then Bobby came to her. She stood up and gave him a kiss on the cheek, ignoring Logan's growl.

'I'm sorry the way things turned out Bobby.'

'As long as you're happy Rogue.'

She nodded and he left. Finally it was just her and Logan. He noticed how for a moment she looked fragile. He pulled her closer to him. She smiled curling into his lap.

'What's wrong, darlin'?'

'I'm scared. I don't know what's going to happen.'

'You think we're going to lose someone.'

'Something's going to happen. And it's not going to be good. In fact it's going to hit this place like a fucking meteor shower.'

-xXx-

A/N: I'm going to end this soon. I have another Rogan in the works so don't worry.
