::Spotlight comes up on a glaring Logan in a black tux::
Logan: Due to some difficult reasons, Tenshi has asked me to fill in for her and introduce the next chapter. ::Mumbles a few things and winces slightly when something hits him across the back of the head:: Also I was told to tell everyone that at the beginning of some of the chapters Tenshi did not state that she doesn't own X-men and the only thing she owns is Layla and any other created character. Thank you.
::Muffled shouts erupt from behind the curtain and out steps a disheveled Tenshi::
Tenshi: It doesn't matter if Logan said that for I shall soon own X-men and everything about them!!! ::holds up a stack of documents and is about to run off but is tackled to the floor by a group of men in black suits. One grabs the papers and lights them on fire:: NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS SO CLOSE!!!!
Logan: -.-;;; Tenshi you know you can't own us. Marvel owns us.
Tenshi: But I was so close!!
Lawyer 1: Don't try this again Tenshi. You do and well. you know what happened to the last girl remember. ::Tenshi shudders and nods her head:: Good now we shall be off and we'll let you continue on with your story. Have a nice day Tenshi. ::lawyers turn around and walk off.
Tenshi:: Evil. Evil. EVIL MEN!!! ::sighs:: Let's get to work and Logan please go change out of that tux, I like you better in your plaid shirt and jeans. ::Logan nods his head and walks off:: Let's get on with the show.
**Disclaimer: I haven't stated this for the past chapters but I don't own Marvel or X-men and the only things I do own are Layla and any created character that you may see. Enjoy.**

After the incident in the infirmary, Gambit was given a room on the same floor as I was and ever since he discovered what room I was in I haven't had a moments peace. Doesn't he have a life besides bugging the hell out of me? I could've sworn the last time I slammed the door in his face. I heard a thump on the floor. I was almost tempted to open the door again and see what happened but I had a good guess of what it was: Gambit falling backwards onto the carpet holding his nose in pain.
Anyway, Scott tried to talk to me a few times after I got to my room, but I really wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. It was mostly the reason I was sitting on top of the roof looking out into the yard at all the students. Wonder why I'm just sitting here? Ever since I got to this school I began to wonder why exactly the doctors chose me to experiment on. I mean, I didn't have powers back then. I was still a kid. Scott didn't have powers that I knew off since they didn't want him. Then the question comes to mind, what about my parents? Did they have powers that Scott and I didn't know about? If they did, then they were pretty damn good at hiding it from us.
"You know you are one of the hardest people to find." I looked behind me and discovered (A.N. Can you guess who it is?) Logan climbing out of a trap door. Out of all the people I expected to try and find me, he was the last person I would've guessed. As he walked towards me I couldn't help but stare at the way he moved. He reminded me of an animal on the prowl. He stood beside me and stuck out a hand with one of two beers in it. I looked at it and then at him as if he were crazy for a minute. "Piece offering." I raised an eyebrow before I took the beer from his hand and opened it. He took a seat at my side and took a swig from his bottle. Altogether it was a peaceful moment since neither him nor I said a word to each other.
"So why exactly are you up here? I thought for sure it would've at least been one of the others." I took a drink from my bottle and looked at Logan out the corner of my eye. He really wasn't paying attention to me but was looking down at the ground at the kids like I was doing previously.
"You ever wonder what made all those kids come here in the first place?" Good question but he is dodging mine. I was going to call him on it but he looked to be in another world at that moment. He looked up at me with slightly distant eyes and I nodded my head, giving him my answer. "Some of them are here because they and their parents think they needed help to control their powers. Others are probably here because their parents probably didn't want to deal with a 'mutie'."
"You forgot about the kind that were scared shitless when their powers emerged and ended up hurting someone." Logan probably knew whom I was talking about because his eyes began to search the school ground for the person. Rogue was sitting on a shaded bench with Bobby and a few of their friends sitting on the ground around them. A smile couldn't help but spread across my face at that sight. Those two really do make a cute couple.
"Those type of kids, or if you mean Rogue in general, are here for two reasons. One, for the reason you just gave, and two, because some power hungry freak wanted to use them to destroy the world. I guess Rogue trusted you if she told you her story." He lay down with his hands behind his head and closed his eyes. I looked at the sight he made and couldn't help but stare.
"Yeah, you could say she trusted me. She told me about her past and I told her about mine. Since then I've considered her as a sister I never had." I held up the empty beer bottle and formed an electric cage to hold in suspended in air. "So what about you? What's your past if you don't mind me asking? I mean you somehow know about my past so I want to know how your and my past are connected." I saw Logan flinch slightly when I said that and that just got me wondering a little bit more about him.
"I would tell you but I have this tiny problem of remembering things. The people who experimented on me made sure that I wouldn't be able to remember them." I listened closely to his voice and I could hear an undercurrent of hatred and sadness. I may not really like this guy (A.N. I'll change that!!) but I'll make sure those doctors pay for everything. And as soon as I find out which doctors experimented on Logan, I'll make them pay dearly.
"Hey Logan, you never really gave me the reason why you are up here instead of one of the others." I turned away from the chimney and came face to face with Logan's chest. I stepped back far enough so my back was resting against the bricks and I was able to see his face. At that moment I felt very small; like a rabbit caught in headlights. I've seen that look on many of men when I was at the base and it didn't do anything to me. You know that look that appears in anyone's eyes when they see something they want. When he looks at me though I can feel things low in me tighten that would border on pain. and pleasure. He leaned towards me and I couldn't keep the whimper from escaping past my lips so I turned my head instead. "Logan."
"Do you really want to know why I'm up here?" His breath brushed over my ear and across my neck in a heated path. My voice caught in my throat at the sound of his voice and closeness. I couldn't step away because possibly in my state I would actually slip and fall of the roof. I should be upset with him for making me feel weak but at this point I don't think I cared. Well I did care but I think I wanted him to do this. More or less. I think I wanted him. (A.N. You all saw that coming admit it!!!)
"Yeah I want to know why you're up here." I saw his right hand move into my line of vision. I felt it as he trailed a finger down the side of my face, down my neck and to my waist and that alone caused me to purr lightly. He brought his hand up to rest under my chin and turned my head to face him. I was able to keep the surprise out my eyes when I saw his face next. I looked into his eyes and I saw a tenderness that I have never seen before. Maybe that was the feeling I saw earlier today at the front door. I couldn't help but look deeper into his eyes and what I saw next caused me to gasp lightly. What I saw was that time old feeling. love. Question is how he could love me when we haven't known each other that long. Not to mention the first day we met we tried to kill each other.
"I'm here because you are." (A.N. Big OOC Moment) I was going to say something, but he rested a finger over my lips. A growl rumbled in my throat but I swallowed it back causing him to smirk. "That's what I like about you Lala." I smirked at the nickname. "Besides one of my enemies, you have been able to land a hit on me and seriously hurt me. Then add in the fact that unlike other women, you don't throw yourself at me." I didn't know whether to blush or grin but something suddenly clicked inside my head that I almost forgot.
"But I thought you loved Jean?" I don't know why but the simple thought of Jean and Logan being together made my blood run cold. With those thoughts running through my mind, thoughts of causing Jean bodily harm followed and I knew an animalistic look was appearing in my eyes.
"Yeah I did look at Jean like that for a while, but then I started thinking. Jean would never leave Scott because she loves him to much and Scott is the same way. I've thought of millions of ways to break those two up but I couldn't bring myself to do it because in the end she would still love him." I was starting to feel like the booby prize. "Then when you came it was like Jean had no meaning in my life. The first time I saw you in the gym practicing, I thought I had died and you were the angel that would take me to the pearly gates of heaven. (A.N. My friend wanted to say that this was corny and now that I've read it. I agree with her.) The corner of my mouth was twitching at the comment and I had to try my hardest not to laugh.
"Awww, that is so corny but it's sweet at the same time." I noticed his eyes narrowed at my first remark, but they cleared up instantly at the second thing. Now that I think about it he seems to be easily hurt but at the same time he can easily be made happy. I noticed he had a confused look on his face, and I couldn't help but giggle at it. When his brow furrowed with more confusion I couldn't help but giggle more. "You look so cute when you're confused you know that." He growled at me playfully and I only had a split second before he tried to pin me to the wall. I ducked under his arms and ran straight towards the trap door that he came out of. I heard his feet slam against the roof before I dove down the opening and when I hit the ground I broke into a dead run down the hall. Maybe it wasn't the best thing to tease him, especially since he has been here longer than I have.
I took a sharp turn and ran right past a few of the students leaving them confused. When I got to the end of the hall I heard shouts from the students to let me know that Logan was still on my trail. Damn. I'm going to have to try harder. I saw the staircase up ahead and I put on a burst of speed. I reached the top of the stairs at a run, leapt onto the banister and slid down. I got to the bottom and turned around and I think that was the biggest mistake I could've made. Logan slammed right into me and we went to the floor and tumbled for a few minutes to see who ended up on top. Though I don't think he would mind if I was on top. Come to think of it I don't think I would behind if he was on top. We stopped rolling and Logan was straddling me and had my arms pinned at my side. He looked down at me with a hunger that made me slightly nervous and before I could say anything his lips were crushing mine.
I got two words: Holy fuckin' shit!! Ok it was three words so what, this man can kiss!!! It felt like he was trying to climb inside my mouth. I felt his hands tighten on my arms before they loosened and trialed down my side and stopped at my waist. I purred into the kiss when I felt one of his legs rubbing in between mine, and lord knows I should've stopped him.(A.N. Would any of you stop him? . I rest my case.) He pulled away for air before he leaned closer and began to plant small butterfly kisses down my neck.
"Get the hell off her!!" Our heads snapped to my right and speed walking towards us was none other then Scott and following close behind was Jean. Oh this is so going to be interesting. Logan looked tempted to stay down but he didn't get a chance to decide when Scott grabbed him by the back of his shirt and pulled him up. "What the hell do you think you were doing with her?"
"The words 'make out' come to mind. Yeah that's right." I could see Logan was getting pissed off and Scott was still red in the face and was getting darker. These two may cause my hair to gray faster. I stood up and brushed my clothes off before I took a position to Logan's right. Scott looked at me with narrowed eyes before he turned them full force towards Logan. This is not good.
"I don't care what it is! You are to stay away from my sister from this day forward. I'll talk to the Professor so you two won't have to teach together." That four-eyed son of a bitch!!!!! Who does he think he is?? He only discovered that we were related today and no he is trying to run my life!!! HE HAS NO RIGHT!!!!
"Scott don't you dare start interfering with my life now. I'm standing here right now then that means that I must've done something right." I placed my hands on my hips and glared at him and he glared right back.
"Well I wouldn't have to interfere with your life if it didn't look like you were having sex right in the middle of the floor. Now I'm only going to tell you this once. Logan is no good so stay the hell away from him." With that Scott turned around and stormed back into the room he and Jean just came from. I stood there and watched him leave before I walked towards the front door.
"Layla don't mind anything Scott said at the moment. I'm sure it was just the surprise of seeing you two on the floor that got to him." I had reached for my jacket while she was talking and right now I was putting it on. I don't care what Jean has to say because I know she is lying. Scott was just surprised my ass. He has no right to try and run my life when he hasn't been in it for the last twenty years!
"Don't worry Jean. I know he was just surprised. Listen I'm going to go for a walk, so I'll be back in a couple of hours. Oh and Jean," I opened the door before I looked slightly over my right shoulder. "Don't let Scott and Logan kill each other." I stepped out and closed it tightly behind me before I walked down the steps and towards the gate. Now to blow off some steam.
I headed straight into town when I got passed the gate and continued walking as my mind wondered over everything that happened a couple of minutes ago. For starters I know that Logan is quite serious and it's probably going to get more serious as the days roll on. God he is such a great kisser. I mentally shook at that part trying to banish the thought of the kiss. Forget the kiss; let's move onto the next topic.
Why does Scott have such a huge problem with Logan and me being together? I mean if it's brother mode kicking in then he really needs to tone it down a bit. I've already had to deal with people running my life and I don't need him doing it to me too. These thoughts ran repeatedly through my mind until I stopped and looked at my surroundings. I have no clue when the scenery changed but I was now standing in the middle of a forest. I took a deep breath and inhaled the scent of pines, windflowers and if I wasn't mistaken the scent of. gunpowder.
My eyes snapped right back open and whirled around trying to find out where exactly the scent was coming from. I continuously whirled around in circles because it seemed the scent was coming from everywhere. There was a snap of a branch behind me and I was fast enough to dodge four of the six cords heading towards me. The two that found their target hooked around my neck and waist and pinned me to a tree. I would've pulled at them but when I was about to touch the neck cord, I was electrocuted. I can never get used to electricity being forced into me!!
The shock therapy didn't last long but when it finally stopped my vision was still slightly fuzzy but quickly clearing. When I could see straight I saw about a dozen men stepping out of the trees and heading towards me. I looked out the corner of my eyes and noticed about four more entering from both sides.
"You know how hard it's been tracking you down Lightening Tiger? If I didn't know any better I would say you didn't want to be found." One of the bigger men stepped forward and smacked me hard across my right cheek. That's going to leave a bruise.
"Oh come on," I looked at the tag on his shirt. "Conway. Can't a girl get a vacation away from a few anal retentive guys once in a while?" That caused me to receive a punch across the left cheek. "You know if you keep doing that I'm going to start feeling unloved." I put on my best-kicked puppy look. There were a few snickers from a few of the other soldiers but one look from Conway and they quieted down.
"Owen sent us here to retrieve you and anyone else you were around at the time of the capture." I was suddenly glad that that no one decided to follow me. Conway was close enough for me to hit but before I could even lay a hand on him four more bands flew out from behind Conway and attached themselves to my arms and legs. I guess they don't trust me not to kill them. Now what would give them that idea?
"You know Conway that as soon as I get loose I'm going to put you and you're men through so much pain, you'll wish that you would've left me alone." I could see some fear slip into his, and a few of the soldiers' eyes but it quickly vanished and were replaced with an indifferent look. Ohh. their good.
"Threaten all you want Tiger, but you're the one who is pinned to a tree at the moment not us." He looked behind him and nodded his head towards someone. A soldier stepped away from the ground with a syringe in hand. I started to struggle with the binds but they electrocuted me again. This time I could hold in the scream of pain as the electricity ran through my body. It stopped for a second just long enough for the soldier to give me the shot and step away.
"Oh yeah.you guys.are s. so going to. pay." The drugs were quickly taking effect and I was really starting to get worried. They have never given me anything that works this fast, which means they may have some new tricks up their sleeves. Before I slumped in my binds I was able to think of two people. Scott. and Logan.

He has no right to try and run my life when he hasn't been in it for the last twenty years!
"Don't worry Jean. I know he was just surprised. Listen I'm going to go for a walk, so I'll be back in a couple of hours. Oh and Jean," I opened the door before I looked slightly over my right shoulder. "Don't let Scott and Logan kill each other." I stepped out and closed it tightly behind me before I walked down the steps and towards the gate. Now to blow off some steam.
I headed straight into town when I got passed the gate and continued walking as my mind wondered over everything that happened a couple of minutes ago. For starters I know that Logan is quite serious and it's probably going to get more serious as the days roll on. God he is such a great kisser. I mentally shook at that part trying to banish the thought of the kiss. Forget the kiss; let's move onto the next topic.
Why does Scott have such a huge problem with Logan and me being together? I mean if it's brother mode kicking in then he really needs to tone it down a bit. I've already had to deal with people running my life and I don't need him doing it to me too. These thoughts ran repeatedly through my mind until I stopped and looked at my surroundings. I have no clue when the scenery changed but I was now standing in the middle of a forest. I took a deep breath and inhaled the scent of pines, windflowers and if I wasn't mistaken the scent of. gunpowder.
My eyes snapped right back open and whirled around trying to find out where exactly the scent was coming from. I continuously whirled around in circles because it seemed the scent was coming from everywhere. There was a snap of a branch behind me and I was fast enough to dodge four of the six cords heading towards me. The two that found their target hooked around my neck and waist and pinned me to a tree. I would've pulled at them but when I was about to touch the neck cord, I was electrocuted. I can never get used to electricity being forced into me!!
The shock therapy didn't last long but when it finally stopped my vision was still slightly fuzzy but quickly clearing. When I could see straight I saw about a dozen men stepping out of the trees and heading towards me. I looked out the corner of my eyes and noticed about four more entering from both sides.
"You know how hard it's been tracking you down Lightening Tiger? If I didn't know any better I would say you didn't want to be found." One of the bigger men stepped forward and smacked me hard across my right cheek. That's going to leave a bruise.
"Oh come on," I looked at the tag on his shirt. "Conway. Can't a girl get a vacation away from a few anal retentive guys once in a while?" That caused me to receive a punch across the left cheek. "You know if you keep doing that I'm going to start feeling unloved." I put on my best-kicked puppy look. There were a few snickers from a few of the other soldiers but one look from Conway and they quieted down.
"Owen sent us here to retrieve you and anyone else you were around at the time of the capture." I was suddenly glad that that no one decided to follow me. Conway was close enough for me to hit but before I could even lay a hand on him four more bands flew out from behind Conway and attached themselves to my arms and legs. I guess they don't trust me not to kill them. Now what would give them that idea?
"You know Conway that as soon as I get loose I'm going to put you and you're men through so much pain, you'll wish that you would've left me alone." I could see some fear slip into his, and a few of the soldiers' eyes but it quickly vanished and were replaced with an indifferent look. Ohh. their good.
"Threaten all you want Tiger, but you're the one who is pinned to a tree at the moment not us." He looked behind him and nodded his head towards someone. A soldier stepped away from the ground with a syringe in hand. I started to struggle with the binds but they electrocuted me again. This time I could hold in the scream of pain as the electricity ran through my body. It stopped for a second just long enough for the soldier to give me the shot and step away.
"Oh yeah.you guys.are s. so going to. pay." The drugs were quickly taking effect and I was really starting to get worried. They have never given me anything that works this fast, which means they may have some new tricks up their sleeves. Before I slumped in my binds I was able to think of two people. Scott. and Logan.
