A/N: Thank you UberNekoChan and Xiowolfe for your reviews! This took longer to get out and it's shorter, sorry. I'm kinda at a dead end, well sort of. I'm trying to find someone to pair Madison up with but since most of the X-men are older than her I've been trying to create a new character. Uh, not working so far. Lol. So if anyone would like to give me any ideas or even if you have a character I can use then please E-mail me or put it in your review! Thanks!

Madison sat on the couch staring lazily out the window; the sky had begun to darken into a dull grayish color signaling that they were in for a little rain. Sighing, Madison leaned her head back onto the arm of the couch and let her mind wander. She thought about the last week and how her life had taken a slight turn for the worse but now was almost back on track.
'I need a beer.'
Madison jumped at the thought furrowing her eyebrows; it was obviously not her own thoughts meaning that Logan was back from the grocery store.
"I'm back." And sure enough there he was walking in the front door holding two brown paper bags filled to the top.
"I see," Madison smiled climbing to her feet with the help of her crutches, "What did ya get?" She looked into one of the bags and made a face, "Why'd ya have to get fish again? Couldn't you have gotten hamburger or something?"
Logan rolled his eyes pulling the bag from Madison's grasp and went into the kitchen, "I did. The fish is for later."
"Great!" Madison grinned following Logan into the kitchen to watch him put away the groceries.
Carefully she lowered herself into a chair at the table, "So what else you get?"
"Steak," Logan mumbled tossing the package of steak into the freezer, "Hamburger…"
"Did you get anything other than meat?" Madison cut him off resting her chin on her fist.
Logan pulled out a green can of some sort, "Yea, I got ya these," He turned the can around, "Pringles." He raised an eyebrow and tossed her the can.
"Yes! Ya remembered!" Madison grinned opening the can, "Thanks Logan."
"No problem darlin'." Logan smirked as he put away the rest of the food.
"Oh by the way," Madison swallowed putting the can down on the table, "The Prof. called while you were gone, wants us to come over for the weekend. Said he needed to talk to you 'bout somethin'."
Logan nodded throwing away the paper bags and turned towards the 'fridge, "Did he say what about?" He grunted pulling out a bottle of beer and popped the lid of letting it fall onto the counter with a soft 'clink'.
Madison shook her head eyeing the Pringles can again, "Nope. Said that you would know. I bet it has something to do with your past."
Logan raised an eyebrow, "Maybe… Or maybe it has somethin' to do with yer new powers." He smirked taking a swig of his beer, "an say out o' my head."
"Sorry," Madison smiled sheepishly, "I can't help it."

The trip to the mansion was long and not to mention a tad bit boring. After only fifteen minutes of driving Madison had allowed herself to fall asleep using the window as a 'pillow'. She dreamt that she was running through a forest feeling scared out of her mind. Someone was chasing her and not only could she hear them behind her she could also smell them.
Madison whimpered out loud snapping Logan out from his daydreaming. He looked over at the sleeping girl noticing for the first time that her face was a scrunched up in fear. Hesitantly Logan shook Madison's shoulder waking her up. Madison looked around groggily.
"You okay darlin'?"
She looked over at Logan and nodded her head, "Just dreaming…" She murmured rubbing the sleep from her eyes, "How long was I out for?"
"'bout an hour or so." Logan replied glancing at the clock, "What were ya dreamin' 'bout?"
Madison shook her head trying to wake up then yawned, "I was running from someone… in the woods, " She smiled up at Logan, "And boy did he smell bad!" She laughed leaning her head back against the seat missing the look Logan gave her.
"You could smell him?"
Madison tilted her head, "Yea, well kinda," Logan gripped the wheel a little tighter, "Logan, what's wrong?" Madison sat forward trying to look Logan in the eyes.
"Nothin' ya just brought back a memory is all."
"That wasn't a dream I had was it?"
Logan hesitated a moment then shook his head. Madison sank back into her seat with a sigh.
"Sorry." She whispered turning to look out the window at the trees and houses they passed.
"It's not yer fault darlin'." Logan said softly focusing his eyes on the road ahead of them.
The rest of the ride there was kept in silence as the two fell back into there own thoughts of things to come.
