I'm so sorry about the mix up. I don't know what happened. When I read your
review and tried to fix the problem, my computer just kept telling me that there
was a disk error. I hope this chapter is alright. Let me know. Thanks to all
reviewed.
Note: I'm not using any particular time frame in the x universe. I'm just kind
of using what ever I like from various time frames.
Chapter 2
Logan straightened from his fighter's crouch. These people didn't seem to be
much of a threat. It looked like most of the team in their universe were
teenagers. He shuddered to himself. Jean and Cyke as teenagers! Uggh!
*I heard that Logan* Jean was glaring at him from where she stood. He just
smiled and shrugged his shoulder as he flashed her a grin. He turned back to the
tableau in front of him. The professor was introducing Logan's teammates to the
pip-squeaks. He must have been thinking pretty loudly, for no sooner had he
thought that then both Jeans and Professors turned and glared at him.
"And this is Logan." The Professor said somewhat wryly. Logan nodded as the
Professor sent him a look that said behave, or else. The pip-squeaks seemed to
be a little more than impressed with Rogue. But then, Logan thought, look at
their Rogue. All covered up in those dark clothes. I'll bet our Rogue is going
to give them a heart attack the first time she and Remy start flirting. He must
have kept that thought pretty quiet, because he didn't get any death glares from
the telepaths. Logan gave a start as he realized the Professor was already to
the Cajun.
"This is Gambit." Remy gave them a sweeping bow. He took off his sunglasses and
gave them his most charming smile. The teens had pulled back at his eyes, but
the girls all leaned back in when he smiled. Especially their Kitty. She seemed
to be a bit of a ditz. However their Rogue have the most interesting response.
She shook her head in disgust.
Bobby had apparently caught the exchange as well. He nudged Logan with his elbow
and the two of them shook their heads. That was the same reaction their Rogue
had given.
"So, like, what is your power?" The teen Kitty asked Gambit.
"Well ma petite, I make things blow up. Henry can give you the more scientific
answer." He said and grinned at her. Rogue, both of them, just rolled their
eyes.
Kitty shook her head. "Um, like, no thanks. I, like, wouldn't understand it."
Logan's counterpart was about to say something when Jubilee cut him off. "Why
don't we just go inside to finish this conversation."
The Professor smiled. "That sounds like a wonderful idea Jubilee. Why don't we
go into the living room?"
"Sounds like a great plan Professah, Ah'll meet ya'll there, I want to get into
something a little more comfortable." Rogue said, starting to hover above the
ground. Logan looked up and saw that her window was open. She was just going to
fly into the house.
Remy moved as quick as the thief he was. He grabbed onto one of her ankles and
pulled her back down to fall in his arms. She shrieked in outrage, but stopped
when he made no move to put her down.
"Are we still on for tonight, chere?" He said. Logan chanced a look at the
teeny-bobbers. Their mouths were all hanging down and they were all exchanging
looks of amazement.
"Depends, will you tell me where ya' plan on takin' me?"
"Aww, chere, that would take the surprise right out of it."
"But how will Ah know what to wear?" She asked batting her eyelashes at him.
He just smiled at her warmly and winked. "Nice try chere. There's a box on your
bed. Wear what's inside it."
Rogue's eyes narrowed. "Ya think I'm gonna wear something you picked out in
public?"
Remy pulled her closer and whispered something too softly for Logan to hear. But
what ever it was, it must have been a smooth move. Rogue turned about for shades
of red and punched him lightly in the shoulder. He laughed and threw her up in
the air to help her get going. She flew gracefully into her room, pulled the
window shut and, with a pointed warning glare at Remy, closed the shades. I'll
have to find out what that's all about. Logan thought. Can't have Gumbo tryin'
anything he shouldn't be tryin'.
"Why don't we go inside now?" Asked the Professor.
As they started inside, the teen Kitty came up to Logan. "Are they, like,
dating?" She asked. Logan felt himself bristle slightly at her tone. She sounded
like she disapproved of his Rogue dating just because hers probably didn't.
"They've been together for nearly three years now." He said, slightly gruff. He
wasn't going to let some half grown girl insult his teammate.
"But how, if she can't touch?"
"Half-pint, that is none of our business." The other Logan said, coming up
behind them. Logan looked at him incredulously.
"Half-pint?" He asked. Sure he called Jubilee and Rogue affectionate nicknames
like that, but Jubilee was like a niece to him and Rogue was like a younger
sister. But calling Kitty half-pint!
"You got a problem with that, bub?" The other Logan growled. Before the
confrontation could get ugly, his Jubilee came over.
"Wolvie, could you take me and the other girls to the mall? Please?" Logan
sighed, he hadn't recovered from the last time he took her shopping.
"Wolvie? You let her call you Wolvie?" The other Logan started laughing until
his Kitty looked up at Jubilee and smiled.
"You know that's not, like, a bad idea. Mind if I copy it?" Jubilee just shook
her head and smiled at her. The look on his counterpart's face made him remember
the first time Jubilee had called him Wolvie.
"I'll tell you what. We'll take you girls in a little while." As the girls
hugged him and ran ahead to tell the others, the other Logan looked at him and
mouthed , 'we?'. Logan nodded. "Trust me, would ya'? There's a great liquor and
cigar store across the mall. I think you're going to need to stock up for a
little while." He slapped his counterpart on the shoulder and let him into the house.
So, what do you think? Please R&R.
