Always There
Authors Note- Thanks to everyone who reviewed! I know John/Pyro is the good guy, but uh, the end of X2 kinda made me think different. The only reason I made him the bad guy is cause I love Iceman too much!

Chapter Two
Throughout the remainder of the night, Logan kept a promise and stayed in the lab. Somewhere around four in the morning, exhaustion got the best of him and he fell asleep on the floor not long after Rogue. Five hours later, she woke up.
" Logan?" she moaned, slowly waking, then realizing she couldn't see him, " Logan!?''.
The second call jerked his nerves and pulled him awake. " Rogue, hey, it's okay" he got on his knees, grabbing her hand from over the blanket, " I'm here". He saw that the injury over her eye had become swollen and darker in color. Same with the ones down her neck. The blood that had been present earlier now dried over on her mouth and arms. " How are you feeling?".
Her eyes were coated with relief and fear at the same time, " sore".
Logan squeezed her hand, " you'll be alright, but just to be sure, Jean should check you out when she gets back" Rogue nodded. He didn't know how to ask the question he had in mind. There were few ways to do so, with the kind of mind she had. " Kid, what happened last night?".
" I fell".
" Okay, what really happened last night?".
Rogue waited, " I got hurt".
" Who hurt you?" he hated pressuring her, but only wanted to help. In any way.
" Why do you think it was someone else?".
" Because I heard you scream".
She struggled to begin sitting up. Logan stood and helped her, than sat down next to her, an arm around her covered waist. " I-I think he was just mad, maybe he didn't mean it".
There werent anymore questions that had to be asked. John, it was him. Logan couldn't tell any earlier. He was Rogue's boyfriend, had been for awhile, since the break up with bobby. That's what Logan despised, how she left a kind guy who had nothing more than a cold handshake, to a flame thrower. He had the chance to stop it, and he didn't, now it was too late. " I'll kill him".
" Don't" she whispered, " just let it go".
" How do you expect me to do that?" he was becoming overwhelmed, " he has no right to touch you, and I'm going to tell him that".
Rogue jumped off the table and went after him. She pressed her hand against his bare arm, only taking a second until he stopped and jumped out of the way. " Logan if you want me to trust you, you have to convince me that I can".
Logan examined each of her injuries as she was prepared to lunge at his next action. " Rogue, he could have killed you, and you want me to let him get away with it?".
" John has a temper, but he's learning to control it, I swear. Last night I said some things I really shouldn't, but it won't happen again, I promise. Just don't make a big deal, I wouldn't ask if I thought it was any more important''.
She was shaking, she was scared, and she was begging him not to hurt this Pyro kid. There were so many, too many, things he wanted to say at that perticular moment-
What did you say that made him mad?
He still had no right
You can't let him think he can get away with this
Are you sure you still don't have feelings for Bobby?
But he didn't. Something told him that he was going to regret his decision. " Okay, but if he touches you again, I'll kill him".
" Not if I do it first" she managed a weak smile.
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Upon returning to the mansion with the remainder of the children, Logan and Rogue went in seperate directions. She towards her bedroom, Logan towards Bobby's, who was just leaving as he arrived.
" You're John's friend, if he ever lays a finger on Rogue again, freeze him in a block of ice and come get me".
