Logan sighed. She'd been gone for almost an hour now. The best advice he had given himself was to hope for the best and expect the worst. He laid on his bed, wondering would could possibly be happening to her. He would at least have appreciated the Professor giving him some sort of telepathic note that everything was alright.
He couldn't remember the last time that he felt so at home or even so comfortable lying on a bed. No, he did remember. It was three and a half months ago, specifically the last night he spent at the school before he decided to leave. The room was somewhat comforting in its own sense. The drapes fell over the window lightly, yet were transparent enough to allow some of the moonlight through. The room seemed to be at peace, but unfortunately the person in the room was far from that.
It wasn't at all like Logan to be so concerned over something like this. He assumed the Professor had to discuss something a bit more important with her then just the music. It doesn't take one hour and forty-five minutes to scold a student about the limits of volume on a radio.
He was the only person who didn't see how different he acted whenever Marie was around. Then again, Marie was probably the only person completely willing to give her life for him, which in a sense can explain everything. It was nearly a miracle watching him change whenever Marie was around. His personality was nearly the opposite with every other being that he spoke with except for Marie.
Marie changed him in multiple ways. For example, he was somewhat more laid back after getting closer with her. Despite this, he still continued to pretend as if he didn't care about anything or anyone, but everyone knew that wasn't true. As Marie changed him, Logan had changed her as well. She wasn't nearly as shy anymore. She'd grown in confidence somewhat. The two complimented eachother, and it was only them who didn't see it.
'If Marie doesn't get back soon, I swear I'm going to end up either eating comfort food out of boredom or I'll be busting into Professor's office because of an incredible amount of curiosity,' he groaned, continuing his 'staring contest' with the ceiling.

Marie burst into uncontrollable laughter for the seventh time, once again failing to hold it in. The Professor was at least relieved that he managed to explain the situation in its entirety before she cracked up again.
"Rogue, please take this seriously," the Professor sighed exhaustedly, "You've seemed to be laughing on and off for the past hour and fifteen minutes."
She covered her mouth with her hand and attempted to nod seriously while letting a few giggles escape from her lips. Almost immediately, the idea of what the Professor told her returned into her mind and she burst out with laughter once more.
Professor Xavier looked down in defeat and began to rub his temples. This wasn't going to be easy. The idea was ridiculous, but he had proof that it would work. Unfortunately, he never had the proof that Marie might understand or even listen.
"The idea...oh..my.. its like.. sleeping..beauty.. im.. just not.. sleeping," she barely managed to say in-between laughs.
Professor Xavier was suprised that his patience held out for this long. He rested his hands on his lap, waiting for her to get all the laughter out of her system once more.
"Walt.. Disney.. didn't.. even think.. up.. something..like.. that," she said in-between constant laughter before accidentally mocking Professor Xavier with her following comment, "Ok, gentlemen, line up, if you're her true love when you kiss her, she'll be able to have human contact. If not, you'll die," she laughed harder at her sarcastic comment when it replayed in her mind.
Professor was finding no amusement nor humor in this.
"It's worth trying. If you find a charming gentleman and reach the point where the both of you believe you have true feelings for eachother, you'll be able to control your mutant power," Professor restated for the tenth time, hoping that this time it might sink in to her head.
Marie seemed to have herself somewhat under control as she began speaking again. "How is it worth trying? I might end up killing one hundred innocent people just by a kiss. I respect your intelligence, but this idea is ridiculous." She coughed and placed a hand in front of her mouth in order to hide her smile.
"Are one hundred people going to proclaim their undying love for you? Rogue, that is not very likely. I did not mean it offensively, just realistically," he yawned and excused himself before continuing, "Are you at least going to allow me to explain how I came about this idea?"
"Of course."
"Without finding it amusing?"
"That's not guaranteed," she replied honestly.
He took a deep breath before beginning his explanation. "I believe that the thing that makes your ability to kill people with a single touch sources from your own feelings. The only way that you will be capable of controlling this is by finding someone you truly love. I am not one hundred percent sure, but it seems very likely to me that your mutant abilities will turn off so to speak as soon as you become in human contact with the man you love. Obviously, if you truly love the man who you believe loves you equally as much, you would not want to hurt him, much less kill him," he drank a small bit of his nearly cold tea from his cup before continuing, "the feeling and extremely powerful will not to kill this man will take its effect. In conclusion, your mutant abilities will finally be under your control and you will finally be able to have contact with others."
A part of her was beginning to take him seriously. "That doesn't explain everything. It's still quite a bit risky to the other guys."
He smiled at her comfortingly, "I know you're scared to try, but love in itself is a risk. There's not an explanation to everything in life. Sometimes things remain as mysteries because that's how they belong. Moving on, when you find the right moment with the right person, you'll know."
The look of confusion wasn't moving from her face. She ran a hand through her hair exhaustedly before saying, "I can understand that. The thing I don't understand is what happened to my ex-boyfriend. He almost died the first time I tried to kiss him. This was a bit before I came to the school, by the way."
"I see. Yes, the two of you were involved, but did you feel very much love towards him, as if you two were meant to be together?"
"Oh no. He was just fun to be with whenever I cou..." she stopped herself when it finally clicked. She understood was the Professor was saying, but she also knew that it wasn't going to be such an easy trip finding 'true love'. She hardly understood what love was in itself.
The entire idea to her was still risky. Not only was it risky, but it seemed a bit stupid (excuse the bluntness) as well. Who knew what could happen? She wouldn't be able to deal with herself if she ended up accidentally killing a man she thought she loved.
She thanked the Professor for patiently dealing with her laughter and sharing this knowledge with her before she left his office. She was off to find Logan and explain all of the recent past events.
'God.. He's going to laugh harder then I did,' she thought as she tiredly stretched her arms out a bit, beginning her search for Logan.
