He had arrived back four months later, having found nothing at Alkali Lake
he had roamed around Canada for a while before realizing he wanted to go
back, to see Jeannie and to see how the kid was doing. He had roared up the
driveway and she had come running to meet him, squealing his name and
thrown herself into his arms and he had grinned and felt ridiculously happy
for a moment. He had breathed her in deeply while she was in his arms, he
had missed her unique scent, and she smelt just like Marie except now there
was another smell mingling with her unique scent - a male scent. She had
regained her composure, he felt her stiffen and draw back as if she was
trying to become more detached. He looked down at her, Good Jesus but was
she all grown up and looking beautiful! "Miss me", he had teased and she
had smiled and teased back "not really!" and then someone had cleared his
or her throat and he had found a hand thrust into his and Marie had
introduced Bobby. Bobby had introduced himself though as "her boyfriend"
and to Logan's amusement had iced his hand - the kid had some nerve! Marie
had rolled her eyes but he could sense that she was amused and a bit
pleased at the show of male rivalry. She seemed happy, he could sense it
around her and Logan now realized who this new scent belonged to, the kid
was trying to wind him up but he was barking up the wrong tree. He had
decided to give the kid a taste of his own medicine: "Boyfriend; so how do
you two." he laughed recalling how he had raised his eyebrow suggestively
in a look he had mastered through practice as Bobby flushed and muttered
"We're working on it". Marie on the other hand, Marie had flushed but he
could sense her sadness and something else he couldn't quite define and
then Storm had arrived, hugged him properly and pecked him on the cheek and
beckoned to the kids to follow her as someone else entered the room. Marie
had said bye in a singsong voice but he wasn't sure if he had answered
because he was too busy looking at the apparition that was floating down
the stairs towards him, someone with the face of an angel, a face he'd
never forget.
Logan smiled, remembering how he and Jean had shared a secret smile and exchanged pleasantries. He had felt the electricity in the air as they talked and all he had wanted was to take her in his arms. Then Cyke had, with his usual sense of timing, arrived an d Logan could tell he was pissed, that he could feel the tension between his fiancée and Logan as well as Logan could, super senses or not. That had only made Logan smirk more. Pissing One-Eye off had always been a bonus. Jean had said something about going to Boston with Ororo on the Blackbird to find some mutant. Logan had a sense of foreboding then, he knew they were looking for the would be assassin and he was worried about what this could mean. The last thing something this big had gone down people he cared about could have died and he didn't want that to happen again. He had brushed it off though, told himself that his days of severe paranoia were over and it was time to relax. Cyke had once again, got the last word and Logan had been furious. Chuck had calmed him down though, showing him the capabilities of Cerebro properly this time. Logan had been awed, fully appreciating at that moment how powerful Chuck was and the capabilities of this machine. He hadn't minded agreeing to help Chuck with minding the kids while he went and visited Magneto, after all Chuck had helped help a lot over the past few weeks. He knew he owed him that, after all what could go wrong.
