"Who said I wanted you?"
Please enjoy and review!
Soaring through the air, ExVeemon beat his powerful wings to carry himself and the two weasel mutants on his back to the train station as quickly as he possibly could.
Logan had his arms wrapped tightly around Davey's waist, having a difficult time relaxing as the cool air blew his hair back and the scent of the moisture in the air tickled at his nose.
It was being made painfully obvious that he loathed heights and didn't enjoy being high up in the air, especially without a parachute or anything to keep him strapped down so he wouldn't fall.
While they were flying, Logan felt his vision fade and strange images of himself on a plane, holding a gun and dressed in army clothing popped into his head, confusing him.
Soon enough, the dragon arrived at the train station and hovered above the building as Davey turned to look back at Logan.
"Okay, we're jumping." She informed.
"What?!" Logan shouted.
"We can't get too close with ExVeemon. He'll cause a panic if anyone sees him. Come on, let's go." Davey insisted.
Groaning in disbelief, Logan loosened his grip on the girl and watched as she, without any ounce or fear and a light of excitement in her eyes, easily jumped off of ExVeemon's back.
Shaking off his displeasure of the situation, Logan jumped after the girl and ExVeemon glowed yellow, transforming into DemiVeemon and he fell down after them.
The shadows rose up from the ground on top of the train station, catching the two weasels and the dragon, safely lowering them onto their feet.
"Don't ever do that again." Logan groaned as he bent over, his hands resting on his knees as he tried to catch his breath.
"What is your issue with flying?" Davey asked as she bent down to scoop up DemiVeemon.
"If men were meant to fly, then they would have wings." Logan retorted.
That earned him two looks of disbelief from the duo of Miracles.
One day, if they ever met a mutant who had wings, they were going to take photos of the look on Logan's face so they could capture the moment of shock and remind him of this conversation.
"Whatever. Let's go find Rogue now." Davey said.
Nodding, Logan stood up to his full height and followed after the girl as they both easily jumped off of the roof, thankful that no one was around to see them, and they then rushed into the building.
Once inside, Logan started sniffing around, tracking the girl's scent and located the train she was on.
"This one." Logan said as he grabbed Davey's hand and pulled her along with him.
After purchasing two tickets, the two weasels boarded the train and started searching for Rogue, glancing over the faces of the people who were sitting in their seats.
Recognizing the scent of her bubble bath that she had let Rogue use, Davey followed the scent over to a seat where she found a head covered by a green hood.
Seeing where the girl was walking off, Logan followed after her.
"Rogue?" Davey spoke up.
Startled, Rogue turned around to find Davey, DemiVeemon and Logan all staring down at her.
"Hey, kid." Logan greeted.
He then moved to sit down in the empty seat beside her while Davey moved to the vacant one that was in front of the duo, happy that no one else was sitting in front of them.
"I'm sorry about last night." Logan said.
"Me too." Rogue whispered.
"You running again?" He asked her.
"I heard the professor was mad at me." Rogue revealed.
That made DemiVeemon and Davey frown, wondering where she had heard something like that.
If anything, Charles was more interested in finally learning more about Rogue's powers and was relieved that she hadn't been accidentally murdered.
"Well, who told you that?" Logan asked.
"A boy at school." Rogue said.
Logan then sent Davey a look, basically telling her that they would need to deal with this when she got back to the school and found out who had scared Rogue off.
As for Davey herself, she was trying to think over who would have been the one to lie to Rogue and get her to run away.
None of the students at school knew Rogue well enough to dislike her and she didn't know anyone who had a cruel streak in them, so who could have made the siphon run away?
And more important, what would they have gained by making her leave?
Something was very wrong.
"You think I should go back." Rogue stated as she saw the way the two weasels were looking at each other.
"No, I think you should follow your instincts." Logan told her.
Tears then filled Rogue's eyes as she thought about how her powers first manifested and how much she hated them.
"The first boy I ever kissed ended up in a coma for three weeks. I can still feel him inside my head. And it's the same with you." Rogue told him.
Everyone was silent at that, taking in the information they had been given and Rogue closed her eyes as she felt the tears starting to fall which made Davey's heart break.
She then shot Logan a look, telling him to comfort her since he was next to her and Davey couldn't reach the distressed siphon.
Reaching his arm out, Logan wrapped it around Rogue's shoulders and she leaned into his side, crying into his jacket.
"There's not many people that'll understand what you're going through, but I think this guy Xavier's one of them and so is Davey. They both genuinely wanna help you, and that's a rare thing for people like us." Logan said to Rogue.
Going silent, Rogue then lifted her head to look at Logan, searching for any hint of lies in his face before she then looked over at Davey, stunned by the honest sincerity in her gaze and felt bad for not believing the girl cared for her.
Just then, the train started to rumble and began to move down the tracks making Rogue pull away from Logan and sit up properly.
``So, what do you say? Give these geeks one more shot?`` Logan questioned.
The siphon remained silent, unsure of her decision as she glanced between Davey and Logan.
``Come on. I`ll take care of you.`` Logan said.
``We both will.`` Davey spoke up at last.
She had wanted to see how Logan would handle the situation and she was pleased to see that the intimidating feral mutant did have a soft, caring side to him.
``You promise?`` Rogue asked them.
``Yeah.`` The two weasels nodded.
``We promise.`` Davey said as she and Logan shared a look, speaking with each other through their eyes.
Satisfied, Rogue then relaxed in her seat and Davey turned around to sit down properly before one of the people who worked on the train saw her and scolded her.
The train ride was mostly silent, the people on board talking in low voices to each other.
Glancing over to a seat where she found a father holding his daughter into his side, Davey started to feel a sick sensation in her chest.
Her father had never been gentle or affectionate with her, not even before she became a mutant.
Even though Charles had his moments were he said and did thing that truly frustrated her, like trying to keep them from going after Rogue, Davey still cared for the old telepath and viewed him as a father.
He was the closest thing she ever had to a real father, not just to her, but to many other mutants who attended the school.
Suddenly, the train came to an abrupt stop making everyone lurch forward in surprise.
The lights started making a strange noise and Logan stood up from his seat, sensing something off and Davey was quick to do the same, wondering what was going to happen.
As the lights kept flickering on and off, a metal suitcase then hit the wall of the train and Rogue stood up, looking around in fear.
The back door of the train then started to crease and bend until it was ripped open wide open, making people cry out as they got out of their seats and rushed away from the flying sparks and metal.
Then, a man floated down into the train and he was dressed in dark clothing, a cape and a metal helmet.
Davey recognized him as the man from the summit who tried speaking with her, but Charles had arrived and sent her away.
At the sight of the man, Logan allowed his claws to come out, stunning a cowering woman and her son since he almost stabbed her in the face.
Rolling her eyes at this, Davey pushed his arm out of the way and gestured for the woman to follow her away and the mother was quick to do so, carrying her son.
"You must be Wolverine." Eric "Magneto" Lensherr greeted as he walked towards him.
Logan took a step forward, but stopped when Magneto held his hand out, manipulating the metal encasing his bones.
"That remarkable metal doesn't run through your entire body, does it?" Magneto asked.
"Come on, everyone get out." Davey said as she pulled a man out of his seat and pushing him in the direction of the exit.
DemiVeemon stood on top of one of the seats, waiting to jump in when he could.
Magneto then made Logan's claws bend out wider and had his arms stretch out to his sides while Davey had everyone running for the front door of the train to escape, not wanting them around for the fight that was about to break out.
"Stop! Stop it!" Rogue shouted as Logan began to hover in the air.
"What the hell do you want with me?" Logan growled.
"You? My dear boy, whoever said I wanted you?" Magneto asked sounding amused.
Seeing his gaze travel over to Rogue, Logan and Davey then realized that she was the one Magneto had been after the entire time.
It was only a coincidence that Logan was in the same place as Rogue and everyone had assumed Magneto wanted the feral because of his metal bones and his healing factor.
No one would have been able to guess that the one he truly wanted was Rogue, the girl who could siphon anyone's powers.
Magneto threw Logan through the train car, tossing him out and Rogue got out of her seating, starting to run away while Davey stood in front of her, trying to protect her.
"You're not getting your hands on her." Davey glared at the man.
"Ah, hello again. I was hoping to see you again." Magneto smirked at her.
"I wasn't." Davey said.
Just then, a man with green skin and hair jumped onto the train, spitting out a long tongue at her.
Acting quickly, Davey created a ball of pink light and shadows, blasting it at the toad man, sending him flying out of the train car.
"You're gonna have to do better than that." Davey told him.
Screaming was then heard making Davey's blood go cold.
Turning around, she found a large man with long hair, fangs and black eyes holding Rogue over his shoulder, the girl screaming in fear as she tried to wriggle out of his grasp.
"Let her go now!" Davey yelled as the shadows started to rise around her.
DemiVeemon was about to attack the man, Sabertooth, to get him to let go of Rogue, but the tiny dragon was stopped by Toad spitting out a green slime that stuck him onto the side of the train.
"Ew, this is just gross!" DemiVeemon whined as he tried to get lose from the slime.
While Davey was distracted, Magneto pulled out a needle from his pouch and he sent it flying to the girl, injecting itself into her neck.
Crying out at the feeling of the needle in her neck, Davey felt the drug take effect quickly and she fell to the floor, passed out.
"Young people." Magneto sighed.
Screaming for help, Rogue stared at the unconscious forms of Logan and Davey as she was then carried out of the train, taken away from her only protectors by the Brotherhood.
