Conspiracy plots

The brothers Dan and Greg stood behind a tree watching the students playing basketball. They grinned. "So this is a school for mutants?" Dan asked.

Greg nodded. "We wait till it's dark and everybody is asleep. I don't think it will be too hard to get one of them."

"What if they kill us with their powers?" He asked frightened. "They won't be able to. We'll surprise one of them when he's alone. They'll think he ran away or something like that. The school is huge, is going to last a long time till they find out one of their children is missing." Greg answered and snored.

"He promised me that I can have the child when he's done."

Dan looked at him confused. "The child will be dead, so it's no use to you".

"Who says a kid has to be alive to be fun"? Greg said and laughed quietly. Dan watched him in Fear. This hadn't been such a good idea.

Rogue stormed into Jubilees room. Kitty sat down with her and looked up. "Hey Rogue. Where have you been"?

She let herself fall on the bed and sighed smiling. "He asked me out for the ball. He really asked ME", she said.

Her friends were by her side in less than two seconds. "Who"?

She laughed secretly. Kitty's eyes grew. "Oh my God! You aren't talking about Wolvie, are you"?

"I am", she stated and sat up." I spent last night with him in his room. Her friends stared at her in shock. "What? Did you.. "?

Rogue giggled. "What? No.. of course not. Are you crazy? How should this be possible"?

They laughed. "No.. we talked about everything and nothing and after he asked me out I fell asleep. He stayed on his couch the whole night. God it was so great to wake up and see him, standing above me, smiling. Heaven is on earth", she whispered and sighed again.

Logan sat between Jean and Storm while dinner. He ate quietly not really listening to what they others said. Now and again he turned around to look at Rogue. She smiled and laughed with her friends, she was doing good, much better than she had been the last weeks.

Two questions bothered him badly. First, was she so happy because of him and second was it good or bad if she would be. He couldn't deny his beating heart when he saw her and his jealously when other boys talked to her. But he was scared to death. Not for himself but for her. She was a grown woman, ripe and responsible. He did know that deep inside but he still wanted to see her as a kid. As the helpless, untouchable girl he met three years ago. Jean asked him something but it doesn't matter to him. She was history. She had been a nice little flirt but nothing more, he realized that just right now.

He caught a look of Charles and wondered if he could read his mind. But he smiled friendly so he guessed he didn't. Because if he would know that Logan felt this feelings, this love and the dangerous desire, he would be very concerned and also mad.

Storm softly shook him. He turned around. "What"? He asked confused. "I just ask you if you go to the ball next Saturday", she said grinning.

He nodded. "Yeah.. yeah I'm going".

"And with who if I may ask", Jean stated and didn't look very happy about it. She put on her sexy smile hoping he would say: Well, with no one yet. Thought you might want to go with me.

But to her disappointing he didn't. He didn't even saw her smile but pointed to Rogue. "I'm going with the kid", he said.

Everybody stared at him. Charles cleared his throat. "You know what she'll think, right? Are you aware of the fact that this girl has a crush on you"?

He swallowed nervously and shrugged his shoulders. "Don't know", he said standing up.

"You shouldn't do that, I mean breaking her heart", Scott said sounding really annoyed. After all Rogue always been like a sister to him.

"I would never do that", he stated and took his jacket. "I would never hurt her".

They watched him leave and Rogue did too. She couldn't hear what they said but their faces made it clear to her. They didn't want him to go out with her. She felt the anger and even hate when she saw Jean running after him. And she also saw Scott painful face. She really wondered why he did this to himself. She was a bitch, she hurt him and he still loved her.

Kitty placed her hand on her gloved arm. "Don't worry Rogue. Logan isn't going to leave you just because of some stupid teachers".

She managed a half smile. "Sure", she said. But she didn't really believed in it.
