Disclaimer: I really seriously wish I could make some sort of claim to X- men, and Wolverine, but I just can't. It sucks.
Summary: The next day, after the intruders. Amber spills about her powers and Logan finds out that Professor Xavier knows about their relationship.
A/N: Heidi-ho! Sorry it took so long. It's just, I had a whole 'nother chapter written, but I deleted it. Oops. 8/1/03- I am so sorry! I thought I had put this up already, oops on my part. Well, here's the next chapter and I'm working hard on the very next chapter but it's slow going. I'm so sorry!

Logan woke up in the room Amber had claimed, with a sunbeam shining on his face. Rubbing at his eyes, he remembered what had happened the night before. Shutting his eyes, he turned a bit, so he was on his back and Amber was pressed against his side.
" So. Are you awake, or should I come back?" Opening his eyes, Logan saw Professor Xavier sitting in his wheelchair, smiling down on him. Thinking of the image they must present, he struggled to get out from under the sheets. Charles motioned him to stop.
" You'll wake her." He said simply.
" So, it's-"
" Yes, it's okay you are seeing her. However, I would appreciate it if you wouldn't sleep together just yet." You could tell by his voice that he was only half teasing.
" Yes sir."
" Logan I need you to do me a favor." Logan groaned inwardly. " And no need to groan. I need you to find out exactly what Amber's powers are. You can have all the time you need, but I need to know."
" Why?" Logan asked, not yet ready to dive to the bottom of Amber's personal life.
" It's very important. And time is short." Saying that, he turned and rolled out. Pausing at the door he added, " Breakfast is sitting on the table." He closed the door behind him and Logan fell back to the bed.
" Well. Looks like we're gonna have a talk. Just soon's you wake up, Little One."
Logan fell back asleep, thinking over what the Professor had said. ^Why is time short^
~~~
" Morning." Amber called from the table where she was eating.
" Been awake." Logan mumbled.
" Yeah, when Professor Xavier was in here. You two almost woke me up." She admonished laughingly.
" Did you save any for me?" Frowning at him, she pulled a covered tray from under the table.
" The best." She answered as he sat down.
" So... you heard us then?" He asked carefully not looking at her.
" Yes."
~~~
" She should be in class." Jean whispered to Storm in the hallway.
" We need that information. You heard what Professor Xavier said."
Sighing, Jean answered. " I know, I know. I just don't like it that's all. He's too old for her." Ororo put her hand on Jean's shoulder.
" Honey. You have Scott. Let them be happy." With that she walked off to let Jean think that through.
~~~
" Fire, ice, telepathy, telekinesis, weather, healing, growing, walking on water, shifting, super-sonic sounds-"
" Wait, wait, wait." Amber was listing her powers for Logan to write down. She may not have had the correct names for things but it was what she and Max had called the powers when they got them. " How long have you had these powers?"
" I'm not done yet. For as long as I can remember. My powers are as natural to me as breathing. Which is why I have to have so much control."
^I bet^
^I can hear you, you know^
^Sorry^
" It's okay. Ready for more?"
" More?" Logan mocked groaned.
" Yes. Ready?"
" Okay, shoot." He held up his pencil ready for the onslaught.
" Speed, strength, agility, intelligence-" Wolverine cut her off.
" Intelligence?" he asked more than a little confused.
" I can look at any page in a text book and memorize it. Anything I've ever seen, no matter how long, is unfortunately impressed upon my brain. Which means I can ace any history class simply by flipping pages."
" Oh." He sat thinking for a moment before getting ready to write more. " Next."
" That empathy thing, jumping, as I call it." Raising an eyebrow, Logan didn't even have to ask. " Teleportation I guess. It's just easier to say 'jumping'."
" Okay."
" Jewelry something or other. I can make jewels shines as bright as I want. Some work better than others do. Attraction of metal."
" Like Magneto." Amber sifted through his memory.
" Yes. Like him." She sounded almost sad. " I can also breathe under water and withstand very hot or very cold temperatures."
" Anything else?"
" Probably but I don't remember them." Wolverine did a quick tally, and let out a long whistle.
" Twenty. That has to be a record."
" Max had the same or more. I forget which." She drifted, almost literally, back over to the bed and collapsed. " I have to go back to sleep." Logan nodded and went to tell Professor Xavier what he had found.
~~~
" Twenty?" Chris asked incredulously.
" She says she probably has more, she just can't remember them."
" I'd lose track too, if I had that many." Chris was still amazed by it.
" Where is Amber, Logan?" Charles looked up worriedly all of a sudden.
" She's sleeping in her room. Why?" Logan looked at the old man, abruptly wary.
" Bring her here. She needs to be here."
~~~
" Shit!" Logan swore when he opened the door to the room. Muttering he raced back to the Professor. ^Where is she^
