Disclaimer: Not mine, except Siannagh and Salla. I know some of this is not completely believably but hey, to vaguely quote Kitty (who, as a randomness, annoys me) from my rubbish memory: "I walk through walls, what's not to believe?"

Yes, I know this is very, very short, but I don't have time. Time! How it flows *grin*

"Logan?"

"Get lost."

"No chance," Rogue said, approaching him. "Professor Xavier is looking for you."

"What a surprise."

"He knows it wasn't you," she said. He was sat on the bech underneath the overhanging trees, shade covering the most of his scowl which softened momentarily at this statement. Rogue sat next to him, keeping her distance. "He read my mind."

"How did that make him see it wasn't me?" he growled, an eyebrow arched. "Been spyin'?"

"Of course not," she laughed. "Ah have some of Mystiques memories."

"Still a bit unclear."

"It was her."

Silence replaced their talk. Rogue, who had been staring at her hands as she spoke, looked up to see an expression of pure shock over Logan's rough face.

"She's a girl."

"She's a shape-shifting mutant," Rogue corrected him. Realisation dawned loudly in Logan's mind.

"That poor kid has two mothers, then," pointed out the angry man as he stood up to return to the mansion. "I'm going to find Xavier."
