Disclaimer: X-Men aren't mine.
This is sort of an AU story centred on my favourite couple- Storm and Wolverine.

"I believe it is late enough. Perhaps it is time I go to bed, good night everyone," Ororo Munroe told her fellow teammates, the X-Men.
Among them was the seven other members and the team's founder. However the team roster changed often with the comings and goings of friends like Kitty Pryde, Bobby Drake, Warren Worthington III and Elisabeth Braddock. For today and tomorrow though the team consisted of eight people and their mentor. These were:
Hank McCoy a.k.a. the Beast. A blue-furred scientist with a kind heart and brain of a genius.
Jean Grey-Summers a.k.a. Phoenix. A telekinetic and telepath, one of Ororo's best friends and also the wife of Scott Summers.
Scott Summers a.k.a. Cyclops. The team leader whose power is his devastating optic blasts that come from his eyes.
Rogue. A woman with the mutant ability to absorb another person's personality and memories with a simple touch. She also has the powers of invulnerability, flight, and super strength which she drained from Carol Danvers.
Remy LeBeau a.k.a. Gambit. The Cajun charmer with the ability to charge any object with enough energy to cause it to explode.
Jubilation Lee a.k.a. Jubilee. A teenager with the power to fire pyrotechniques from her fingertips. Also the youngest among the team.
Logan a.k.a. Wolverine. The rough Canadian with a healing factor and killer set of adamantium claws. Some of the X-Men wonder if his insane ability to cause trouble where ever he goes is also a mutant ability.
Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm. A former African goddess worshipped for her weather-controlling powers. Also a team leader both on and off the field.
Charles Xavier a.k.a. Professor X. The founder of the X-Men. Is said to be the most powerful telepath on Earth.
At the end of a long day these mutants went their own ways for the night so they would be ready to face whatever evils would face them the next day.
As Storm stood to leave the living room her leg brushed against Logan's, who had been seated next to her on the couch. Ororo was overcome by a sharp chill when this happened. She knew this wasn't a chill that comes from fear but she just couldn't place where it came from.
"G'night 'Roro," Logan said as she passed by him.
"Good night Logan."
With that she left the room and made her way upstairs to her attic apartment. She slipped into her room quietly and went straight to bed not bothering to change out of her jeans and pink spaghetti-strap top. As soon as her head hit the pillow she was asleep.
Ororo didn't remember closing her eyes but as soon as she did she became an observer in an alternate world. A world where the mutant hunters called sentinels had won and only a few homo superior were left to defend themselves and the rest of the world. However, one small group of super powered heroes emerged and became known as protectors and warriors. Even in such a different world the X-Men lived.
"We've gotta go! Scott's down!"
"NO! I only need one more shot. Give me another chance and I can take it out for good."
"Forget it Storm, it's too risky."
"Logan, I know I can do it if I can have another shot. You go back to the Blackbird with the others."
"I ain't gonna leave ya out her to face the sentinels alone Rain Lady."
At that one of the pink and purple clad monstrosities emerged from behind the rubble of one the downed buildings. It fired at Storm who was preoccupied fighting another sentinel. She never saw it coming.
"AAAHHH!"
" 'Ro!"
Wolverine saw it coming and race to help the now injured Storm. Scooping her up into his arms before she hit the ground he turned around and made a mad dash for their only means of transportation.
Dazed, the Windrider looked up into the eyes of her rescuer. "Logan, please do not leave me..."
"I won't darling. I promise you that," he replied to her as they just made it to the Blackbird which had just begun its liftoff.
Hank met them on the ramp. "How is she?"
"She'll live as long as she don't go tryin that again. Honestly Hank, I thought once we were married she'd stop pullin' stunts like that. And I'm supposed ta be the irresponsible one..."
Ororo was baffled as she watched the scene unfolding before her. *Married? Did he say 'married'? Am I truly married to Logan? No...This is just a dream, I could never have married him...Could I?*

OK, tell me what you think. I want to continue but this story seems to have a mind of its own. You can tell me anything you want as long as you tell me SOMETHING. Thanx.
