Imaginary by Evanescence
The groups met and the news was given to Rogue and Bobby. Ororo told Rogue, Bobby and the kids they were watching to go to the hotel while the others walked around for awhile. There was something at the hotel that they didn't like and they didn't want to bring everyone there, mostly Angel. She had used her own name to make the reservation and even if the owners couldn't deny them a room, they still weren't happy about it.
Logan and Requel stayed together with Kurt creeping along, following the kids more than leading them. At first, the kids were observant wanting to know what a conversation between Logan and Angel might be like but after along silence between them, the kids went into their own conversations, already bored.
It was then that Logan spoke. "I bet they found Magneto there. That's why they're keeping you away." Requel gave him a look warning him not to go on. She hated the thought that there was an entire group protecting her, like she was some child.
"They're coordinates!" the boy that helped her with the computer exclaimed in front of her and running to get to Requel and Logan. He had her diary in his hands. She squinted at him and tore the book from him. "But they're coordinates, the times for each entry. You do a simple math equation with it, the one that computer passwords are made with, you find the same coordinates."
"Okay, I'm going to figure you know that equation because of a very educational TV show," Logan said. "But next time, you'll keep your eyes off of others personal stuff." Requel quickly opened the pages in her diary. How would she know that equation? Was the kid just making it up or was he pulling at anything to make the numbers fit? Either way, Requel wasn't going to dismiss it easily.
A lonely road was on their side and the kids had gotten comfortable with the streets and one had strayed off the sidewalk. Instantly, the street was filled with a speeding taxi. Angel reached out a hand and yanked the kid away from the taxi. She had heard it turn onto the block.
All Logan could do was chuckle. She really was amazing. She took care of the lids without a second thought. Meanwhile, the others were trying to take care of her. It was ridiculous, and Requel knew it, which reminded him-
"Hey, I, uh, saw this and thought.I don't know." For once, Logan was stumbling on his words and basically mumbling nothing. He had pulled out a bag from a store he must have visited when the groups were separated and gave it to her. She opened it up to find a box with a necklace inside. It was a small angel on a chain with her arms stretched outward.
"I thought it fit," Logan said, never meeting her eyes. As she put on the necklace, she noticed how close he was then. She opened her mouth, as if to say something.
The communicator ringed and Requel exhaled, not too silently. "Logan, do you have Angel with you?" Storm asked over the communicator. Requel was getting something out of her pocket, a small marble. She put it between the angel's open arms; it fit perfectly, but what was it?
"Yeah, she's right next to me," Logan replied. Requel gave him a strange look knowing he was talking about her but then rolled her eyes as she realized who he was talking to.
"Good. Bring her to the hotel and don't let her out of your sight." Storm sounded serious but it made no sense to Logan. He couldn't ask any questions since Storm had seemingly had hung up on him.
