Disclaimer: Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, and nope. I do not own the movie, the actors, the characters or even a copy of the movie. All I own is Chris, and Amber.
Summary: After the intruders, jumping back and forth from the living room to Amber and her dilemmas. Jean and Scott find out about the romance between Wolverine and Jewels.
A/N: Okay. Here's my next chapter, sorry it took so long to come out. It wasn't exactly what I wanted but it's very close. For everyone who reads, if you'd be kind enough to let me know what you thought, please leave a review in the little box. And for anyone who wants to read an Enterprise/X- men crossover, go into my account info, click on favorite author's and scroll down to Aanekosikie. Her story is titled 'I Never Knew It Rained In Engineering'. She really needs the encouragement. Thanks in advance.

" Amber? Amber open the door." Storm was pressed against the door, trying to open it without being obvious. Amber had locked the door behind her, slamming it in the anxious faces of Logan and Ororo.
" Go away." Tears choked her muffled voice. Logan nodded Storm away from the door and walked up to it.
" Amber, it's me. Open the door. We- I want to help." He motioned with his hands for Storm to go away so if Amber did open the door, she'd only see him. She stubbornly shook her head no.
" Storm's there too." She protested. Logan rolled his eyes and mouthed 'go' as he pointed down the hall.
" I'm leaving." Storm called out, scowling away. Practically stomping down the hall, Logan thanked whoever was up there that she had so much control. As Storm left and Logan was looking towards the heavens, the door shifted open a few centimeters.
" Hurry." The voice was filled with pain and remorse. Logan slipped through the open door, more than a little apprehensive at what awaited him.
~~~~~
" What do you mean 'hardly'?" Chris asked, unable to believe, unwilling to believe, that Amber or Jewels, as the students called her, had more powers than what she had just displayed.
" I mean we have yet to scratch the surface. 'One will save us, One shall undo us.' She is our last hope in the battle against Magneto," He paused, thinking before saying his next unnerving statement. " And against the majority of the world."
~~~~~
" I'm a monster." Amber wouldn't stop pacing and sit down. Logan was simply standing, watching hopelessly as she started rubbing her arms as if she was cold.
" You aren't a monster." He told her quietly, desperately.
" I am," She hissed. " Didn't you see me?" She questioned, pointing in the general direction of the living room.
" Yes. I saw someone trying to protect their home from interlopers."
" I could have killed them. I wanted to kill them! I- I-" Logan soundly found the strength to move and practically leaped forward, dragging Amber into his arms.
" But you didn't. You did enough to protect your home. You are NOT a monster." He tried to block out the sound of sobs as he sighed his words of comfort.
~~~~~
" Do you know what her powers are?" No one saw Storm standing in the doorway, back from her little excursion already. No one that is, but Professor Xavier.
" Does it matter? It's late, go to bed. You all have classes in the morning. Storm, Scott, Jean could you stay for a moment." Chris looked a little hurt at being left out, but filed behind his students.
" Didn't you go after Amber?" Scott asked, pointing a finger towards Ororo.
" Yes, and she wanted to talk to Logan in private." She sneered, still not happy with the decision.
" Logan?!" Jean was shocked, spinning to her mentor she continued, " Did you know-"
" That they were together? Yes, actually I did. I was wondering when Storm would let the rest of you in on the secret."
" How-" He once again interrupted the good doctor.
" How could I let it continue? Because they need each other."
~~~~~
Amber fell asleep, tears marring her face, in Logan's arms, comforted by his unwavering affections. Logan breathed out once and resettled so he was comfortable on the makeshift mattress on the floor.
" When you wake up, we are going to have a VERY long chat about your powers, Little One." Murmuring her new nickname, Logan fell asleep, wanting desperately to protect his 'Little One' from harm.
Future events would seriously test that desire. And his ability to fulfill that desire.
