Chapter 26
DOUBLE DATE
(Iris)
I jolted awake sweat dripping down my neck and forehead. I felt my body tremble at my bad dream. I step from my bed and went to take a shower. I put on a navy v-neck blouse and black jeans. I pulled my curly black hair into a ponytail and walked downstairs. I was trying to figure out what to do since the girls were all at school. 'Maybe I'll make Logan take me out'. I thought a smile on my face. I saw Valerie downstairs eating cereal.
"Hey Valerie how are you feeling"? I asked knowing she almost died the day prior.
"Fine, just trying to ignore Angel". She said then her phone started ringing. "Word of the wise don't give a boy your number until you figure out if he's single". She said declining the call.
"That bad hu"? I asked.
"No, I'm being dramatic". She said I couldn't tell if she was using sarcasm because her voice always made her sound sarcastic. "So you and Wolfy going out today"? Valerie asked.
"I don't know". I said trying to hide a blush. Ha, me blushing usually I don't act like a teenager.
"Well go ask him on a date it's the twenty-first century we can do that now," Valerie said.
"Thanks". I said.
"Yeah whatever I need a smoke". She said walking out of the room. I watched her leave a little worried. I shrugged it off though I can mother her later she needs space right now.
I then went to find Logan. He was working out in the gym we have.
"Getting fit for me"? I asked walking in. He turned to see me.
"Had nothing else better to do". He replied.
"Well, now you do you're taking me out". I said.
"Is that so"? He asked.
"Yeah I'm bored and I want to go out". I said.
"Well, I'm in the middle of a workout". He said.
"Then I'll work out with you and then we can leave". I said walking out. I went to put on a grey tank top and purple capris. I then went back to the gym. "Let's do this". I said. He arched one of his eyebrows.
"You work out this I can't wait to see". He said. I punched the punching bag and it swung back and forth.
"How do you think I got my figure"? I asked.
"Eating healthy". He suggested.
"No, actually I like to fight". I said.
"You like to fight". He asked suspiciously.
"Yeah, in fact, we should fight". I said.
"Hand to hand"? He asked.
"Yeah". I said.
"Look Iris it's not that I doubt you capability but I doubt your capabilities". He said. I glared and swiftly got down and swept his feet from under him.
"Don't worry if you think the fight will be in your favor it won't be I fight dirty". I said getting into a fighting stance. He smirked and stood up. "Remember you asked for this". He said.
I smiled before charging him I threw a punch but he easily dodged. He tried to retaliate with a punch but I caught it. Luckily, he wasn't using all of his strength or I wouldn't have been able to catch his hand. I was about to toss him down but he had more strength and ended up tossing me over him. I landed with a huff.
"You ok"? He asked getting close to him. When he got close enough. I tripped him and put him in a hold I could break his arm in.
"Tap out". I said. He reluctantly did and I let go of him.
"Who taught you to fight"? Logan asked.
"My mom took me to judo classes when I was little and I kept going until I was sixteen". I said.
"Did they tell you how to fight so unfairly"? He asked.
"Don't be a baby you're stronger than me, of course, I fought dirty. Anyway, since I won we're going out". I said.
"You didn't win". He said.
"Take the loss with pride Logan I won," I said standing up. "Now go wash off your shame so we can go out". I said walking away. I changed back into my earlier outfit and put on some light makeup. I then walked out to see Logan waiting for me.
"Where are we going"? He asked.
"You'll see". I said smiling.

I got through the day trying to hide my excitement for my date with Remy. Elizabeth and Kira walked with me as we went to get stuff from our lockers before we left.
"You should just officially be his girlfriend your relationship is starting to confuse me". Elizabeth said.
"Yeah, you just gotta be blunt". Kira said.
"I don't know how to bring it up". I said to be honest.
"Just kiss him that's what I did with Kurt". Kira said.
"Kira honey not everyone can be as blunt as you". Elizabeth said.
"Yeah, well I bet if more people were blunt more relationships would happen". Kira said before opening her bag, she looked in it then looked panicked. "Where are my Pringles"! She yelled.
"Did you eat all of them"? Elizabeth asked.
"No, it was a brand new can". Kira said. Then we heard Kurt laughing behind her. Kira spun around and glared at him. "I'm going to kill you". She said before starting to chase him.
"Those two love food so much it scares me". I said.
"Anyways, good luck on your date". Elizabeth said.
"Thanks". I replied.
"Oh and for every card analogy you should make Remy pay you like a dime and you'll be rich by the end of the day". She said causing me to laugh.
Just then Kira walked back with her Pringles in hand.
"I got them back". She said.
"Oh my god did you kill Kurt"? Elizabeth asked.
"No silly he's in time out". Kira said laughing. Which scared the both of us.
"Ok, I'm heading out Remy's probably here by now, Kira don't get arrested, and Elizabeth don't spend all day moping," I said. Kira saluted and Elizabeth rolled her eyes at me. I walked out and saw Remy waiting for me in his car. I got inside of it.
"What are we doing today"? I asked.
"You'll see". He said.
"Are we stealing something today"? I asked.
"No, we'll leave that for another day". He said.
"We are going to look at possible steals though". He said.
"Oh, an art museum"? I asked he nodded.
(Iris)
We parked at the side of the road and I got out with Logan behind me.
"I had a feeling you liked hiking". Logan said.
"Yeah I talk to plants, of course, I love nature". I said.
"What are they saying now"? He asked.
"They're happy because it's nice out. They're greeting us happy that we are basking in their beauty". I said.
"Are all plants nice"? Logan asked.
"Are you mocking me"? I asked.
"No, I really want to know are all plants nice"? Logan asked.
"No, but that's because they haven't received proper care". I said.
"You should run a plant adoption center". He said.
"Now, you're mocking me". I said.
"Yeah, now I am". He said. I tripped him with a root. "You've got to stop doing that". He said.
"Stop giving me a reason to". I said.

I soared through the sky the wind gliding across my pink wings. I then landed on a building. I heard my phone ring so I took it out.
"This is the fastest flyer around". I said.
"Can I be out of time out now"? Kurt asked.
"Yeah, I'm on top of the skyscraper near the Cold Stone ice creamery". I said. Kurt appeared behind me.
"Found you". He said. I turned and smiled. Then the wind blew I shivered.
"It's cold up here". I said. Kurt grabbed my hand and teleported us down to the ground.
"Let's walk around". He said.
"Okay". I said feeling happy.

It was nice at the art gallery with Remy. He was pretty smart when it came to art. I guess he had to be in order to steal the valuable ones.
"I got some news and you're not goin' to like it". Remy said as we looked at a painting with navy designs.
"You have a girlfriend". I guessed. Remy chuckled at that.
"No, I wouldn't be goin' out with you if I did. Even thieves have morals". Remy said.
"Then what"? I asked.
"I'm leavin' to Japan to steal something". Remy said.
"Oh". I said sadly.
"I'll only be gone two weeks tops, and it's important otherwise I wouldn't go if I didn't feel the need to steal it". Remy said trying to reassure me.
"Well, what do you have to steal"? I asked.
"Word is that humans are startin' to figure things about mutants. Some agency has some kind of proof that we exist and want to present it to the world. I'm going over there to mess up their plans. I'm pretty sure Magneto will send his guys along to do the same, but well I'm much smarter than them". He said bragging. I rolled my eyes at his arrogance.
"I wish I could come with". I said.
"I rather you didn't it might be dangerous". Remy said.
"Yeah, and I can't argue for you to stay cause this does sound important. I guess there's only one logical way for me to feel better about this". I said. "I'm not robbing a book store for you". Remy said I laughed at this.
"No, I think we should officially label ourselves". I said.
"What do you mean I already consider you my girlfriend"? Remy said.
"What"? I asked.
"You were mine after the first date". He said smirking. I blushed at this.
"Whatever". I said. Remy pulled me into a kiss causing me to turn three shades darker.
"It took you long enough to come around Jiahladi". He said.
"Yeah, well I have trust issues". I said.
"I noticed Mon Chéri". He said. Just then my phone vibrated. I pulled it out it was Elizabeth. She sent me a picture of her and Valerie. With a text that read.
Elizabeth: Spending day with Valerie.
I found this hard to believe.
"Don't tell blondie until I'm far away I don't want her to act crazy". Remy said.
"Trust me I won't". I said.
(Iris)
Logan and I headed to a casual dinner after walking the woods for a while. Then we headed back home. I ordered Logan to find wine while I take my shower. I put on a red tank top and black night shorts. I looked at my phone to see another text from Elizabeth. I was glad she wasn't moping around. She had sent me a text earlier saying she was spending time with Valerie which was weird because they seemed like opposites. Logan then entered my room.
"What took so long"? I asked.
"Ran into Valerie". He said.
"I think it's cute that you're like her dad". I said.
"I don't act like her dad". He mumbled.
"Well, I still think it's nice every girl deserves a father figure". I said.
"I'm guessing you didn't have one". Logan said.
"My dad was an asshole". I admitted.
"That's strange that was the truth"? Logan said.
"I don't always lie about my past here I'll tell you something true. When I got my powers, my parents were scared of me so I grew up with my aunt". I said.
"I know that feeling but your mutation doesn't seem that bad". Logan said.
"Yeah, well my parents were weirded out that their daughter could control and talk to plant". I said.
"Yeah, that's true you are pretty weird". Logan said. Earning him a slap on the arm.
"Now, tell me something about you"? I asked.
"Later it's late". Logan said.
"Come on one thing". I said.
"I was born in Canada". He said. I then laughed.
"Canada, really did they kick you out because you weren't nice enough"? I asked laughing.
"Laugh it up but you're best friends are plants". Logan said. I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Yeah, but I was born in America". I said.
"Glad I could make your night". Logan said walking out my room.
"Thanks for today". I said.
"You beat it out of me". He said.
"Still thanks". I said before he left. I then got under my covers, and smiled at today's events and went to sleep the thought of not waking up didn't even cross my mind.
(A/N: So, I've been away a while. I will try and publish more frequently, but I' pretty lazy so we'll see. Enjoy)
