Logan and Piotr made their way to the kitchen of the Xavier institute, used
when it wasn't mealtime by the students.
Sitting down at the table opposite to each other, Piotr looked Logan in the eye. "So what exactly did you want to talk about?" he asked, acting innocent.
"You know exactly what I want to talk about," Logan growled. "What exactly is your relationship with Lori?"
"I like her and she likes me." Piotr replied coolly.
"And?" Logan growled.
"And," Piotr relented. "We kissed a few times."
Logan growled and unleashed his right hand claws. Grabbing Piotr by the shirt wit his left hand he held the claws to his face.
"I'm only gonna warn you once kid. If you hurt her, then I'm going to kill you. She's been through enough already." Logan threatened.
Piotr looked at Logan's claws for a moment, then back at Logan. "I understand sir." He said calmly.
Logan released him. "You'd better." With that, he stalked out.
Piotr moaned and let his head bang against the table.
The next day, Lori stayed away from everyone. In her lunch break, Rogue, Bobby and Piotr found her in the library, reading a novel.
"What's up?" Rogue said, straddling a chair.
"Nothing." Lori lied. "Look guys, this is a library. You don't chat in libraries."
She tried to brush them off early in the conversation.
"So, let's get out of the library," Rogue suggested. "Yeah," Bobby piped up. "All these old books smell funny. Lets go get some fresh air."
Lori rolled her eyes. "Guys, I'm trying to read a book. Maybe later, okay?"
"Well, Lori," Rogue drawled. "There's this new fanged invention called 'BORROWING' you know. It's where you can borrow a book out from a library for a certain period of time and 'read' it at home."
When Lori made no attempt to move, rogue rolled her eyes and grabbed the book from Lori's grasp.
"Come on Lori, I'll let you use my user name to borrow It." she raced to the front counter and logged on. She borrowed the book quickly and made her way out the door.
Poking her head back in to see if Lori was following, she saw her closely behind her.
Her claws had been unleashed.
"Give me back my book." She said, quietly and fiercely.
Rogue's eyes widened. Without a word, she handed the book back to Lori.
"Lori," Bobby said, astonished at her sudden change of character.
"That was a bit uncalled for, don't you think?" Bobby questioned.
Lori looked at her feet.
"Look," she said. "All I want is some time to myself. I have some things to sort out and I'm not sure I can do them with you guys, okay?"
"Lori, we're here for-," Rogue began but Lori cut her off.
"I know, but I don't need you right now. I need ME. I need to work myself out. I don't want anyone else to do it for me."
"okay, that's fine." Rogue said, deflated. "but work it out soon, please. We miss the old you."
Lori gave her a weak smile. "I'll try."
