A/N Hey so a few people suggested our dear Storm and I couldn't agree more. Also someone asked when they're finally going to kiss and I realized that they haven't even kissed! I may have forgotten that this was a romance ;)
I own nothing
"You know you're meant to knock, right?" I said cheekily to Victor.
He turned a glare at me, "yes," he dead-panned before raising a fist and banging on the door.
"And you know you live here, right? You shouldn't have to knock," he scoffed as we faintly heard loud footsteps inside the house.
I gave him an annoyed look as the door flung open to reveal a worried Jean. Her eyes widened when she saw me and a smile started bloom on her face. But her eyes darkened when she caught sight of Victor.
Her eyes narrowed and I heard a faint metallic clink. I opened my mouth to ask for entrance but a decorative copper plate came flying out from behind Jean and right into Victor.
He let out a yell as he stumbled back clutching his cheek in pain. Time stopped as Victor slowly lowered his hand and gazed at the blood that lay in his palm and fingertips. He raised his head and gave Jean a deadly glare as a low growl came from his chest.
Jean got into a fighting stance as Victor stood up straight but before anything could happen, I decided it was prime time to interfere.
"Oh no no no, we are not doing that," I said, slightly frustrated.
Jean turned to body to face me slightly but kept her eyes trained on Victor, "Do you know who he is?" Jean ground out.
I nodded as I held my hands on their chests, "Victor Creed, Logan's brother and feral mutant," I said slowly, shocking Jean.
She relaxed, but only slightly, "what's he doing here?" she asked as she straightened up.
"You know," I whispered as lowered my hands and stepped back.
Jean hesitated before nodding and stepping back as Victor lowered his hands and relaxed, "Is he here to stay or visit?" she asked as she stepped back inside.
I motioned for him to follow as I walked in after her, "hopefully stay," I said before glancing over my shoulder, "right Victor?" I asked him with my eyebrows raised.
He snorted but the corners of his mouth twitched up slightly as he looked around curiously.
"Jean? Jean?" I heard Scott yelling from... a general over there direction.
She turned to look down the hallway which led to the kitchen, I guess it was roughly breakfast time, "its fine Scott, I'm still alive," she said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes.
I laughed slightly, "Protective much?" I shouted down the hall.
No sound came back. I turned to share a look with Jean as Victor came to stand next to me, almost protectively.
"Ivy?" I heard a small voice yell.
I recognized it to be the voice of one Kitty Pryde, "Hey Kitty," I yelled out.
I heard clambering before Kitty's face appeared from the Kitchen, "Ivy!" she screamed before running out into the hallway happily.
She stopped when she reached me because Victor stepped in the way and smirked down at her. She gave him a look-over before glaring up at him and walking forward... right through him. I snorted out a laugh and quickly covered my face embarrassingly.
Kitty wrapped her arms around my torso tightly and I quickly hugged her back, giving Victor a look over her shoulder. He shrugged back and turned back to the hallway which had a gathering of students and Scott.
I frowned as I pulled back from the embrace, "Where's everyone else?" I asked as I looked over to Jean.
She smiled softly, "Probably going off at the Professor. Again." She said irritably.
I chuckled, "should I be shocked?" I said to her before turning and looking to Victor, "come on, you're going to go make some new friends," I said grabbing his arm and stalking off.
I didn't feel any resistance as I pulled him along. I'll admit that I may have taken him on the scenic route through our humble abode... and that this route wasn't exactly my idea. My legs got me lost, so blame them not me! I hummed an upbeat tune under my breath as we strolled down the hallways.
"If you say we're lost, I'll hit you," Victor said bluntly.
I turned a shocked look to him, "you'll do not such thing," I said.
He raised an eyebrow, "what makes you so sure?" he challenged.
I smirked, "because genius, we're here," I said as I pulled him to a stop.
He gave me a look before directing his gaze to the wooden door in front of us. I saw nervousness flutter across his face quickly but I placed my hand on the doorknob quickly before flashing him a quick smile.
"No going back now," I said before pushing on the doors.
They opened and stilled the conversation that was being held in the room. All eyes turned our way and I flashed the inhabitants a bright smile. No one moved and I raised my eyebrows before whistling.
"Hello? Anyone home?" I asked sarcastically.
"Ivy," someone breathed out.
I turned to the source and was almost tackled by Storm. Her arms were wrapped tightly around me and she was... squealing slightly? Kill me now.
"Hey, Buddy," I said awkwardly as I patted her back.
She pulled back and looked me over, checking for any injuries, "You're... alright?" she said slowly, as if shocked.
I nodded before laughing, "I'm fine Storm, calm down," I said while shaking my head slightly.
She smiled brightly before turning to the Professor with an apologetic expression, "Guess you were right," she said.
I swear the Professor smirked. But he nodded and accepted the half apology before looking to me and giving me a small smile, which was returned. With me out of the way his attention turned to behind me and he met Victor's eyes. I didn't watch the staring contest, and choose to look around the room.
Jean had said that the others were most likely going off at the Professor but Storm was the only one here. I turned back to the contest and saw Victor was still looking at him but with very little conviction. He looked defeated, like he had given up the tough guy facade. I waited patiently for it to end but neither of them seemed to be backing down, the Professor's brow was slightly furrowed as though he was confused.
Where is Logan?
The Professor suddenly turned to Storm and I, "Storm perhaps you should take Ivy down to the danger room, she is worried about the others," he said dismissively before giving Victor his attention again.
Storm nodded and grabbed my elbow gently before leading me from the room and down the hallway.
"Oh," was all I said.
Storm chuckled, "you didn't understand a word I just said did you?" she asked as we walked.
I shook my head, "not one," I said cheerfully.
She laughed harder, "It's just to help us, with fighting, team work and anything else you can think of," she said with a pleasant smile.
We entered the elevator.
The door shut and my thoughts went back to Victor, who was talking with the Professor right at this moment. I turned to Storm with a worried expression.
"If Victor was to stay, what would you do?" I asked her nervously.
She turned to me with a thoughtful expression, "I would welcome him just as I welcomed you," she said with another smile.
I let out a breath of air, "thank god," I said, relief flooding my voice.
She chuckled before turning me with a look I couldn't place, "is it just me or have you noticed that the sexy gene runs in Logan's family," she said so bluntly causing me to choke slightly.
"What!" I yelled, not used to such things coming from Storms mouth.
She blushed, "just saying,"
I chuckled, "you think Victors attractive!" I accused.
She blushed deeper as she glared at me, "I do not," she defended.
I shook my head, "yes Storm, I have noticed that it runs in Logan's family" I said while rolling my eyes playfully earning a shove from the lean woman.
"So which way?" I asked as I stood in the empty hallway.
She sighed before turning me around and pushing me in the right direction, "right," I said awkwardly as we walked down the pristine halls.
"Right through here, we'll just inform them that we're here instead of just waltzing in," she said as she sat down at a table.
A window was in front of her and beyond that were miles and miles of forest, "Whoa, is that the danger room?" I asked.
She nodded, "they look to be doing a hunting and tracking assignment," she said looking at the controls in front of her.
I stilled her hands, "can we join them?" I asked, bouncing on my feet.
She looked at me thoughtfully, "Logan's a heartless tracker," she said, almost as a warning.
"Well then best not get caught,"
Logan's POV
I chuckled as Bobby squirmed under me as I sat on him, "Too easy," I said with a smirk.
He glared at me before scoffing, "you cheated," he accused.
I snorted, "how did I cheat?" I argued, moving off him and standing up.
Bobby shrugged before grinning, "give me 10 minutes, I'll think of it," he said before rubbing his back.
I chuckled softly before John came out of his hiding spot, puffing, "Doors to the danger room have been opened," he said, "who would come in here?" he asked curiously.
I shrugged as Piotr landed on the ground with a thud and looked as confused as we all felt, "So they want in on the training?" Piotr said uncertainly.
I shrugged, "more hunting guys," I said easily.
Bobby nodded, "Can you tell who it is?" he asked me, pulling a few twigs out of his hair.
I rolled my eyes before walking towards the door to the Danger room.
"I don't even want to know how you know the way back," John said with a smirk.
I grunted as we reached the door. No one was there.
"Can you catch a... a scent?" Piotr asked me.
I sniffed around a bit before catching a slight fresh smell. It smells like freshly cut grass and fresh rain with a hint of vanilla. Storm.
"Storm's here," I said before frowning, something else... rose and ginger...
Bobby nodded, "makes sense, she must be finished talking to the Professor," he said.
I shook my head, "Someone else..." I said, frustrated.
We all froze as a small giggle rode up on the wind. We all raised our eyebrows in unison. I knew that giggle, and now that I think about I knew that smell.
I chuckled, "Can you hear us, Ivy?"
Ivy's POV
His deep chuckled reverberated through the woods, "Can you hear us, Ivy?"
I tried to stifle my giggle, "Maybe," I shouted back.
His loud laugh was my reward and I couldn't stop the smile that bloomed on my face. Storm giggled as she nudged me playfully.
"I think you do know how that particular gene runs through his family," she said smugly.
I snorted as I heard John shout back a reply, "You girls want in on our little game?"
I laughed loudly, "What are the rules?" I yelled.
I heard a deep, growling chuckle come from Logan, causing a shiver to go down my spine, "You run,"
Next chapter is going to be fun...
Pure Logan/Ivy moments is what I want to write... so all aboard the Logan smut train!
