~Logan, could you come to my office?~Xavier's voice breaks through Logan's mind and he quickly straightens up, stopping his attack on the punching bag in front of him. ~Something up, X?~ He grabs his jacket and pulls it back on as he heads out and toward the older man's office. There's silence for a moment. ~I'm not sure. I was hoping you could tell me...~ "What did I do now?"Logan mumbles, stopping to watch Marie's team working outside the gym; it looked almost like a game, except for the determination he could see on Jax and Landon's faces; both looked ready to kill. He smiles,"Kinda makes me think of One eye and myself..." ~Logan!~ The command is sharp this time. ~Sorry, coming...~ He forces himself to look away from them and heads on toward Xavier's office.
Logan knocks, hard. "Come in, Logan." He'd never figured out why people knocked since the world's strongest telepath knew who was there, instantly; he opens the door and walks in. "You wanted to see me?" "Close the door and sit down, Logan...."Xavier commands, motining to a chair opposite. Logan obeys, closing the door and taking the chair. The vacant, not quite-here look returns to the professor's eyes as he stares at him, but at the same time not. "Professor?" He shakes his head as if clearing it, then meets Logan's gaze head on. He speaks quietly,"You know what this is about....I presume you do." "Yes....."
Charles nods, slowly. "What you're doing to her isn't fair or right, Logan....even you can't be cruel enough to do that to her..." Logan sighs and drops the formatlities. "Charles, I don't want to hurt Marie, but I....I realized that I love her." Silence remains between the two of them. "Can you honestly do that to her, Logan?"Charles asks. "Yeah, I think I can and that worries me..."

"Marie, would you just talk to me? I want you to tell me it's not true...." Rogue turns away from Bobby and stares out the window, at her alliance. "Tell you what's not true? That I feel something for Logan? That I didn't go after him when he left? That I did more then just talk to him? What do you want, Bobby?"she demands, forcing her voice to stay the same, despite wanting to cry. She feels his hand rest on her shoulder, then his arms wrap around her waist. "Just tell me that I ever meant anything to you...did I?" Rogue gasps and shoves away from him, turning. "How can you even ask that, Bobby? You were the first person to befriend me when I came to the institute four years ago.....you meant more to me then you know."
Bobby glares at her. "But what does Logan mean to you? Do you love him?" She turns away, but answers,"I don't know, but I can't be fair to you with feelings for him." Rogue stares at her hand a moment, then removes his ring; she stares at it a moment longer, then places it in his hand. "I'm sorry...until I figure out what to do...I can't be with you or Logan...." He stares at her, his blue eyes masked with anger and sadness. "I'm sorry,"she whisphers, leaning up and kissing his cheek, then forces herself to turn and walk away. A single thought comes to mind as she makes her way outside to join her team. Damn you, Logan, damn you.
"Okay, guys, the Professor says that he's not going to give anymore missions to you until Tara's out of the hospital,"she tells them, stopping beside Landon. He looks at her. "And that would be when, Rogue?" "I'm honestly not sure. She got worse hurt then we thought and may be in there for about a month..."
Nanaki glares at her. "So for a month we're inactive? Fuck that, Rogue!" "Language, Creed, language. It wasn't exactly my first choice, but I can't tell Charles 'no, I won't let you inactivate my team'." Rogue looks around the teenagers before her. Kris and Jax were suprisingly quiet, a rare occassion. The two were known for not getting along and almost always in some form of a fight, even if it was nothing. "So for a month we just have to stay here while Bobby's team gets to go out and do god knows what?"Landon demands, glaring at her for a moment before storming off past her and toward the medlab. "Landon!"
Jax speaks up,"Leave him alone, Rogue. He still hasn't dealt with Tara's being hurt." Nanaki and Rogue both look at him, suprised. "How would you know, Jax? You two hate each other last time I knew anything,"Nanaki says, watching him. He hisses,"It's none of your concern. I just know some things that others don't. Alot of things...." Rogue wanted to ask what he meant, but he turns and walks away after saying a single phrase. "Things even you won't admit....."
Logan knocks, hard. "Come in, Logan." He'd never figured out why people knocked since the world's strongest telepath knew who was there, instantly; he opens the door and walks in. "You wanted to see me?" "Close the door and sit down, Logan...."Xavier commands, motining to a chair opposite. Logan obeys, closing the door and taking the chair.
