Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
It was two days later when the world heard about the mysterious death of Ashley Sinclare LeRoux. There were, of course, no leads or suspects. It would later be determined a suicide, but none of the Avengers believed that.
"Morning."
Kitty looked up from her coffee and saw Logan walking into the kitchen. "Mornin'... You're here early." She said in shock as she brushed a wavy strand of hair behind her ear. Kitty wasn't even dressed yet, and was still clad in her Rob Zombie shirt and flannel pajama pants. She watched as Logan poured himself a cup of coffee and sat down next to her at the table.
"So did you see the news?" Logan asked casually.
"On what?" Kitty decided to play dumb, but she knew where this was going.
"LeRoux's body was found in France." Kitty stayed silent, so Logan continued. "They seem to think it was suicide."
"It wouldn't surprise me." Kitty said innocently, batting her eyelashes at Logan. "He was obviously mentally unstable, giving people tiaras and swords." He just stared at her until she gave a huff of annoyance. "He got what he deserved. Are you going to go tattle to the parents now?"
Logan smirked and shook his head. "No." They both drank their coffee in silence.
Bruce stumbled into the kitchen, looking bedraggled. His dark hair was sticking up on one side and flat on the other. Dark circles ran under his eyes and he looked exhausted.
"Rough night?" Kitty asked sympathetically as he poured himself some coffee. Steve walked into the room and immediately grabbed the paper from Kitty before sitting down.
"Yeah, I-" He turned and saw Logan at the table with her. "I'm sorry, did I miss when he became an Avenger?" Bruce asked Steve, waving his hand at Logan.
"Still not an Avenger." Logan smirked as one of the sections of the newspaper was passed to him. He opened it up, but Kitty knew he wasn't reading it.
"Then why are you here?" Bruce half-whined.
"He's allowed to be here." Steve said distractedly, still engrossed with the newspaper.
Logan looked up over the newspaper and smirked at Bruce, his face smug.
