Chapter 25: Interlude: It Comes Together

Disclaimer: I don't own

A/N: Very short chapter, but I needed a filler to lead up to the finale.

Evan dutifully scribbled down the notes of the board, aside from the quiet whispers of his fellow classmates of the scritch-scratch of pens and pencils on paper, the classroom was mainly silent.

Beside him, Kurt had his chin resting in his palm and his elbow on the desk as he stared out the window with a far way expression. Evan rolled his eyes and elbowed his friend. The German came back to himself and looked at Evan.

"Stop spacing out, man...What's up with you anyway, you've been dreamy all day." Kurt grinned sheepishly and quickly finished the notes. At the front of the class, a hologram hidden Mr. McCoy looked over his class.

Kurt sighed, "Sorry." He muttered, but a few minutes later he was off in dream land again. Evan rolled his eyes and shook his head in exasperation.

The bell rang a few minutes after and the class started gathering their books.

"No homework for the evening and I'll see you tomorrow, class." Mr. McCoy shouted over the sound of twenty something teenagers talking to one another.

Kurt was out of his seat and through the door in several seconds, leaving Evan to exit the classroom last, as usual.

Evan chuckled and Hank spoke up, "Care to tell me why Mr. Wagner was so eager to leave?"

Spyke grinned, "Lunch, plus Kitty? I'm surprised he was as slow as he was." Hank laughed at that and gathered his things, leaving after Evan and locking the door to go to Lunch himself.

When Evan finally made it outside with his Lunch, it was to find everyone else already seated underneath several trees. Kurt and Kitty were seated against the thick trunk, and speaking in hushed tones. The two seemed even more inseparable than usual. Marie was fiddling with a stick as she people watched and she grinned at Evan as he sat down next to her. Scott and Jean were off at a picnic table nearby.

"Hey Porcupine."

Evan grinned at the Goth, "Hey, how was your morning?" he questioned as he dug into his lunch.

Marie giggled, "Well, Kitty's been spacey all day, so fairly entertaining."

"Kit too? Kurt's been somewhere else as well." Spyke and Rogue looked over at their friends, who were only wrapped up in themselves.

Marie rolled her eyes, "Typical, now they can be spacey together!" Evan snorted and the rest of Lunch was spent in comfortable conversation.

Logan finished something on his bike and sat up, wiping grease of his hands.

"So, are you coming in for lunch, or are you staying out here all day?" Ororo appeared behind him and he grinned.

"Yeah I could go for some food." The two mutants headed into the kitchen where Storm had prepared a large platter of sandwiches.

"Logan…can I ask you something?"

Logan nodded, "'Course 'Ro."

She sucked in a breath, "What are you and I, exactly?" her question was quiet and pulled Logan up short.

"Um…well, what do you want us to be?" he asked back, quietly, feeling like he had just been thrown onto a battleground by himself and without a weapon.

"Well, I'd like us to be more than friends." The albino haired woman couldn't meet his eyes in fear of rejection.

"So that kiss, wasn't just in the moment?" she looked up, Logan was looking strangely open and almost vulnerable.

She smiled, "I was hoping it wouldn't have been the only one, actually."

Logan grinned and leaned over the counter so they were nearly nose to nose. "That can be arranged…" his lips were soon over hers and she felt the rest of the world fade away.

Professor Xavier clicked the okay button and sat back in his chair with a grin. "And it all comes together."

He made his way out of his study and down to his waiting car and a driver he had hired to drive him for the day. A few minutes later, there was no sign the car had ever been there, and the Professor was gone with it, leaving an empty mansion.
