Light in the Dark chp.13
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mystique watched from a nearby tree, as Logan's daughter Zero and Kitty left the institute grounds. She had been watching the mansion the past few days and learned quite a bit about the students and instructors. She finally knew who that woman with Logan in the bar was. Storm. 'She would be a good person to immitate.' she thought slyly. Mystique jumped down from the tree and morphed into Kitty for the time being as she made her way into the institute.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Storm was sitting in the kitchen drinking her coffee, when Professor Xavier came in the room.
"Good morning Ororo." He greeted warmly.
Storm wasn't paying much attention though, she just stared into her mug.
The Professor wheeled closer to her. "Ororo? Are you alright?"
She snapped her head up, just noticing the Professor. "Oh, yes Charles I'm fine thank you." She smiled wearily.
"So, how is Logan holding up? I've been meaning to go see him but I've been so busy working with the students lately."
"That's alright Charles. He's doing better I think, resting now."
Professor Xavier looked into her tired eyes. "You should get some rest yourself Ororo. I'm sure Hank and I are capable of looking after Logan for an afternoon." He smiled.
Storm got up and headed for the door. "Alright, I'm just going to see him for a second before I get some sleep."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mystique looked around quickly before morphing into Storm and heading into the infirmary.
Logan was laying on his side, trying to get back to sleep. Hank had given him some drugs to ease the pain and help him sleep. Apparently it wasn't working. He suddenly caught a scent that seemed familiar to him. It wasn't something he'd wanted to smell though, it was an enemie's scent. Logan thought he'd remembered the smell and it was something like one of the men that had attacked him and Storm. Confusion and anger suddenly rose in his chest and as the footsteps neared, he rolled over to face the intruder and unsheathed his claws towards the said attacker's neck.
"'Ro?!" He barked, out of surprise.
'Ororo' gasped and jumped back. "Wolverine, I uh...didn't mean to startle you."
Logan sighed, relaxing and leaning back on the pillows. He brushed a hand over his forehead. "Sorry 'Ro, I must be loosin' it."
She wavered a smile and turned to leave.
'Why did she call me 'Wolverine'?' Logan thought to himself, scratching his head.
After walking out the door, Mystique transformed back to her blue self and quickly and stealthily snuck out a nearby window.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The real Storm was now making her way into the infirmary as she had told Xavier she was doing, before getting some rest.
"Logan?"
He opened his eyes at hearing Storm's voice. Logan was surprised to see her back, not that he minded, he'd just thought that he scared her a little when he nearly sliced her head off. "'Ro, uh..I'm sorry I scared ya there a minute ago."
Storm raised her eyebrows. "What do you mean? I was downstairs with the Professor just a moment before."
Logan stared at her blankly.
Ororo moved over to him, placing a hand on his forehead. "You still have a temperature." She paused, taking a step back and looking at him. "I think Hank may have given you a little too much medicine." She smiled quickly, then kissed him on the cheek and walked to the door.
Logan just continued staring, very confused.
Storm turned around. "If you need anything, Hank and the Professor are around. I'm going to get some sleep." She paused, looking sadly at Logan. She thought him quite dilusional at the moment, but dismissed it as being caused by his fever. "Are you alright?"
He blinked a few times and scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine darlin'. You g'head an' get some sleep." Logan smiled and watched as Storm walked out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mystique smiled contently and carefully began heading back to her hotel. 'So, he cares for the woman..' She thought to herself as she slinked away from the mansion.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, during all of this, Kitty and Zero were mall crawling. They were currently sitting in the foodcourt at the Bayville mall, since Zero insisted they take a break. Kitty sat contently, with all her shopping bags around her.
Zero rolled her eyes and glared at Kitty's bags. "And how the hell do you expect ta carry those damn things on my Harley?"
Kitty smiled and turned to Zero. "First of all Z, it's not *your* Harley, it's your Dad's."
Zero grunted.
"Second of all, I can fit my stuff in my backpack." Kitty grinned.
Zero rolled her eyes. "I'm gettin' tired, whaddaya say we head back now?" She asked hopefully.
"Aww.." Kitty pouted. "We didn't even stop at Express yet."
Zero growled and got to her feet. "That's it, I can't take it anymore! No more preppy stores!" She stormed away from the foodcourt.
"Hey Zero! Wait!! Okay, okay we can go back!" The younger girl called after her, struggling to pick up her bags.
