The Bet Part 5 by Tara
Disclaimer: I don't own the Xmen or the music used to torture Logan.
Logan was getting ready for bed and was thinking back to the day's events. He was starting to feel bad because all the women were still not talking to him.
'Maybe Jeannie is right and I did cross the line' he thought as he stepped into the steaming shower.
Logan took his shower and decided to call a truce with Gambit in the morning. He was really getting tired of every time he touched a door handle; he would receive an electrical shock generated from a very unhappy Storm. Psylocke glared at him everytime he walked into the room. He didn't even want to consider what she was going to do to him.
"Gotta love Betsy," Logan chuckled to himself. He knew he was going to get it from her when he was not expecting it.
Logan turned off the water and got out of the shower. As he grabbed his towel, his thoughts turned toward Rogue's reaction to his stunt.
"I think I'll get Hank to make me an metal cup."
As Logan came out of his bathroom, he grimaced. The scent of the rose air freshener smell was still faintly in his room but he decided it was livable as he climbed into bed and fell into a dreamless sleep.
AT 2:30 A.M.
A mysterious figure slowly made his way to the thermostat for the Logans room. As he approached, he had to stop and take a deep breath. If he burst out laughing now he would be caught for sure and he liked where his heart was located now. Satisfied that the temperature was high enough to make Logan sweat buckets. He slowly made his way back out of the room.
In the morning:
Logan opened his eyes and swore at the heat in his room. He chuckled thinking that this was Gumbo's revenge.
"Gotta do better than that Gumbo," he yelled as he through of his covers.
Logan blinked in surprise as he stared at his legs and part of his chest.
"I am blue," he growled.
Logan leaned forward and sniffed at the now blue bed sheets.
"KOOL AID!"
Logan flung open his door and went in search of Gambit, hoping to tear him apart.
Warren looked up to see who was stomping into the kitchen. He started laughing and nudged Bobby saying, "Aw look. Papa Smurf decided to join us for breakfast."
Bobby, who was taking a sip of his coffee, turned to look at what Warren was talking about. Bobby spit his coffee out and started to choke and laugh at the same time, turning him a beautiful shade of tomato red.
"Where's the Cajun?" growled Logan, unamused.
In between bouts of laughter and coughing Bobby said, "check the danger room."
Logan turned and left, giving the 2 men the middle claw as he left.
Logan stomped down the hallway, thinking of a way to hide the Cajun's body. He stopped as he heard Rogue and Storm coming down the hallway.
Logan grinned and searched for a place to hide. He hid himself behind a big plant in the corner and peeked through the branches.
"How long do you think this is going to continue?" Logan heard Storm ask Rogue.
"Ah don't know, but Remy had better give it to Logan good or I will take care of it myself," she said angrily.
Just as Storm and Rogue were about to pass him, Logan jumped through the plant, startling both women. Rogue screamed as Logan jumped on her and they both landed on the floor with a thud.
"Where's your boytoy?" growled Logan, straddling her.
"Ah haven't seen Remy all morning you big oaf. Get off of me or I'll knock ya into the next room."
"Would you tell me if you knew where he was?" asked Logan, cocking an eyebrow.
"Logan, what the hell is with you? You take Scotty's viagra by accident again?" said Rogue sweetly.
Ororo stood behind Logan covering her mouth, trying not to laugh.
Logan rolled his eyes and said, "That only lasted 5 minutes, do you women ever know when to let it drop."
Rogue stared up at Logan and seemed to ponder the question for a moment, then said, "No we don't. Besides, 5 minutes mah ass. You know how distracting it is fighting Sinister when you were in that condition. That outfit of yours hides NOTHING sugah," said Rogue innocently.
Logan turned back and gave Storm a dirty look when she couldn't hide her laughter anymore.
"I didn't see you complaining at the time darling," smiled Logan.
"Yes, I do believe that us girls caught a glimpse of that Canadian Grade A beef that you are always talking about Logan," said Storm.
Rogue and Logan stared at Storm for a moment. Rogue was speechless that she would talk like that and Logan was thrilled that she was looking at him like that. Logan turned back to Rogue when she said, "Get off me Wolvie before Remy sees you in your boxers on top of me."
Logan grinned moving his eyebrows suggestively at her, but lost his smile when Rogue push him so hard that he left an imprint of his body in the wall.
Rogue picked herself up off the floor as she was dusting off her pants she finally noticed that Logan's legs were blue. Rogue started laughing at Logan as she watched him stand up.
Storm walked up beside Rogue and said, " He bears a striking resemblance to Beast doesn't he."
Rogue turned to her and said, "Nah, Hanks cuter. He looks more like Grover."
Logan stared at the X women for a moment and then stomped down the hall in search of the missing Cajun again, muttering about how women would be the death of him under his breath.
Rogue yelled down the hall, "Don't damage anything I might need later, sugah."
A 'screw you' was faintly heard and the girls started laughing more.
"Ah hope Remy did more to him than just turning him blue," said Rogue.
The women walked towards the kitchen but paused as they heard Bobby say, "I just don't understand it sugah," in a voice that was obviously imitating Rogue.
"By the bright goddess are you stupid?" a pause and then, "What do you think Jean?" said Warren.
"I don't know why, but I all of a sudden have this urge to kiss Scott," said Beast.
The men broke out into laughter. Storm and Rogue carefully peeked around the corner and were shocked at what they saw.
Bobby, Hank, and Warren were sitting around the table laughing and joking like they always did but they were wearing the wigs that Logan had bought for Remy.
The women left the kitchen and walk down the hall in a state of indignation.
"That's it, now ah'm pissed," ranted Rogue.
"I do believe this little war just became a little bigger," sighed Storm.
"Come on 'Ro, I have an idea," yelled Rogue, grabbing the other woman's hand and pulling her down the hall.

"I got it," yelled Rogue fly down the hallway to reach the door before anyone else got there.
Rogue opened the door to find Forge looking over his shoulder nervously.
"Hey sugah, glad you could come."
"I came as fast as I could Rogue," said Forge looking at the grounds.
"What's wrong, sugah?"
"Who is that Gambit is playing cards with," he asked nervously.
Rogue had a puzzled look on her face as she looked towards where Forge was looking.
Rogue levitated in the air slightly, "Ah can't see, there's a tree in the way."
"It is a women wearing a strange shirt," he said.
Rogue rolled her eyes at what an idiot Forge was being, " Women in weird clothes is normal around here sugah, ya have to be more specific."
Forge all of a sudden seemed to be embarrassed. He looked at the ground and said, "It says 'Logan the other white meat'."
Forge's eyes shot up when Rogue let out a roar of laughter.
"That's Valkyrie but we call her Val. She's the president of the LLA," explained Rogue.
"What's the LLA?"
"The Logan Luster Association," said Rogue with a straight face.
Forge looked at Rogue to see if she was serious. By the look on her face, he could see she was and he burst into laughter.
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah, sugah I am. She is real sweet on Logan," said Rogue.
"Has Logan met her?" asked Forge.
"Oh yeah," said Rogue, "but she faints every time Logan comes within 10 feet of her."
"Who would lust after that hairy ape," he said.
"Beats me sugah. Come on; let's get this going. Storm can only keep the boys occupied for so long."
Rogue helped Forge bring in his equipment and they made their way to the basement.
A/N There is more but I thought I would put this out there to let you know we are back and the rest will be up later in the week. You'll see why I named this chapter they way I did
