A/N- sorry it took so long for these two chapters, fanfiction.net wouldn't let me add more, it kept screwing up

Rogue came running into the institute, leaning against the door as she closed it, gasping for breath. She closed her eyes as Rita walked downstairs, looking in her direction. "Rogue, what's wrong?" Rita ran to Rogue's side, looking at friend with a worried look.
"It's… its Pyro! Ah swear, he is such a pervert! He followed meh home, tryin' as hard as he could to back meh into a dark corner, then he told me that he would come here for his 'little play thang' " Rogue said, almost in tears.
"WHAT?" Logan yelled, walking downstairs, he had heard the whole thing. Rogue always was like Logan's bratty little sister that he never had, or never remembered he had.
Rogue looked up at Logan through tears and hesitated, before moving to him and clinging to him as if he was Remy. "Oh Logan, ah'm scared. What if Pyro is really coming back?"
"It's Rogue, Pyro wouldn't dare come back here. Not after the Shawn and Marie thing. Besides if he does, I'll kill him." Logan told Rogue and ran a hand down her hair, trying his best to make her feel better.
"Oh Rita, come here please." Rogue was about to thank Logan when the three of them heard someone call Rita. Rita looked at Logan, no one knew who was calling her, but it was a guy, though no one thought much about it, at least 20 guys lived there.
"I'll be right back Rogue, just stay here with Logan." Rita smiled and put a comforting hand on Rogue's shoulder, then walked upstairs.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Rita walked up five stories and into a room where no one slept, though it seemed that the guy was in there. When Rita opened the door, she almost fainted, it was not anyone she expected to be standing in the room, it was Pyro.
"Why are you here? Stay away from Rogue, you here me? Stay away from her." Rita glared at Pyro as he began walking toward her.
"Oh, but it's not Rogue we want, its you. Like I told Rogue, I'd come here for my play thing, though it seems you came to me huh?" Rita's eyes widened when she heard the words Pyro spoke.
"Stay away from me." Rita backed away from Pyro, but he kept coming, Rita was just about to scream when Pyro put his hand on her mouth.
"You don't want to do that, if you scream I'll hurt you, or better yet, he'll kill you and your kids." Pyro looked to the open window as Sabretooth jumped in.
"Miss me much Rita?" Sabretooth flashed her a rather evil grin and grabbed her by the neck, pulling her to him and throwing her back against a wall, watching her fall onto the bed that was meant for new mutants.
"Not really bastard." Rita held her throat, choking on the unshed tears.
"Hmm, that just wont do, now will it?" Sabretooth and Pyro walked to Rita, sitting on each side of her on the bed. Sabretooth grinned again and ran a sharp fingernail down the front of her shirt, easily ripping a straight line in the fabric. Rita let out a silent scream; she knew that if she brought Logan upstairs then something much worse then what they had in mind for her would happen.
"I think she would make a perfect addition to Magneto's collection for us don't you think Sabretooth? She's beautiful and everything else, though she will need to be tamed, she's just a little feisty huh?" Pyro smiled at Sabretooth as he watched Sabretooth continue to run a nail down her shirt.
"Rita? What's taking so long?" Logan called up to her as Pyro bent down to whisper into Rita's ear. "Tell him your fine, that both Shawn and Marie both woke up and you're putting them back to sleep, its just taking longer then you thought, understand?" Rita nodded to Pyro.
"I'm, um, just putting Shawn and Marie to sleep, they woke up and its taking longer then I thought it would, I should be down soon." Rita called down to Logan, scared for the life of her children if Logan decides to come upstairs.
It seemed that Logan took that for a good enough excuse and didn't say anything after that, he must still be talking to Rogue.
"Good girl." Sabretooth told Rita as he sat up, letting Pyro have some fun. Pyro bent over Rita and smiled, running a finger down her cheek, then slowly taking off her shirt that Sabretooth had already ripped. Pyro ran a finger along the material on her bra before she kneed him in the face.
"You little bitch." Pyro said, just loud enough for Rita and Sabretooth to head, but soft enough to not attract attention.
"Move boy, let me handle it." Sabretooth shoved Pyro out of the way, put a nail under the silk of her bra, and started to cut through it, just as he did for her shirt.
Rita gasped and punched Sabretooth in the face, catching him off guard and pushing him back a little. "You'll regret that little girl." Sabretooth punched Rita in the jaw, dislocating it.
Rita coughed, spitting blood in Sabretooth's face, then kicking Sabretooth in the groin, making him growl. Surely, that would attract Logan, with his sense of hearing.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Logan looked up from the couch he was sitting on, talking to Rogue. He could have sworn that he heard someone growl, but the only one who could growl like that was Logan or Sabretooth. Logan's eyes widened as he jumped up and ran upstairs, listening for any sound he could.
He ran into their room but Rita was not around, not even in Shawn and Marie's room.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
"Say bye, bye to this." Sabretooth said, touching Rita's mini skirt. Again Sabretooth cut the fabric and was about to slip it off when Rita screamed, making Sabretooth put a hand over her mouth. "Now none of that, I thought we made a deal."
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Logan heard Rita scream as Jean, Scott, Bobby, Remy, Ororo, Evan, Kitty, and Rogue began running upstairs. Logan saw them and bolted upstairs, smelling the familiar smell of Sabretooth.
Logan ran to an old room that has yet to be used by a new mutant and turned the handle, locked. Logan growled, kicking the door open as the other mutants arrived behind him, looking at the two Brotherhood members and Rita on the bed.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Rita's eyes looked everywhere, waiting for Logan to show up. Then all of a sudden Logan was there, which meant that Rita didn't have to stay silent anymore. Rita shrieked and kicked Sabretooth off of her and into a wall.
Logan growled at Pyro and threw him against a wall, shoving his claws into Pyro's stomach and twisting them around. "Ever heard of don't touch my girl?" Logan smiled and threw Pyro against Sabretooth, still against the same wall that Rita sent him into.
Rita glared at Sabretooth as Remy grabbed her around the waist, pulling her over to the group of mutants. Remy pulled his old, brown duster off and putting it around Rita as she charged up her hands and threw a rather large fireball at Sabretooth, knocking him out the window that he was about to climb out of.
"Not so fast." Logan grabbed Sabretooth just before he fell and pulled him back into the room, letting his claws out and putting them in Sabretooth's face. "The next time you ever think about messing with her again and I'll be giving you some high insights." Logan grinned then shoved sabretooth out the window, followed by Pyro.
Rita sat outside in the hall, leaning against the wall, holding Remy's duster tightly around herself. "Hey Rita, you ok?" Evan sat next to Rita and put an arm around her, pulling her to lean against him and put her head on his shoulder. "It's ok Rita, everything will be alright. Logan took care of Pyro and Sabretooth, well not after you put Sabretooth in his place, but Logan finished them off." Evan told Rita, trying his best to cheer her up and get at least a smile from her.
"Thanks Evan." Rita smiled but even Evan could tell that it was fake, she was trembling so much, and it wasn't because of the temperature.
"You ok?" Logan sat next to Rita as even let go of her and Rita buried her face in Logan's chest. "Shh, its ok Rita, they won't come back."
"That's what you said before, but they did come back." Rita looked at Logan with tears in her eyes as she buried her face in his chest again.
Logan looked down on Rita and kissed the top of her head. "I know that's what I said Rita, but this time it will come true, I promise." Logan looked down the hall as Charles came toward them; he had been out for most of the afternoon and must have just gotten home.
"Rita, is everything alright? What happened while I was out?" Charles looked at Scott, knowing that Scott never lies to him.
"Um, Sabretooth and Pyro came for Rita, that's all I know Professor." Scott smiled at Charles as Charles went to Rita and saw her wrapped tightly in Remy's duster. Charles looked into the room that Rita must have been in since it was the only room on that floor with the door open. What he saw didn't surprise him much, Rita's shirt and skirt were in there, torn it seemed.
"Come on Rita, come with us." Jean, Rogue, Kitty, and Ororo looked down at Rita and gave her their hands. Rita looked at Logan and Evan and finally took Rogue's hand and stood up, holding onto the duster with her other hand. The five girls walked through the crowd of boys and downstairs to Rita's room.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
"Rita, are you sure your ok?" Ororo sat on Rita's bed as Rita pulled on a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of pants, not even close to her regular clothes.
"You, like, can't dress like, the way, like, Rogue, like used to dress for like, forever." Kitty told Rita as Rita sat on her bed and leaned against the wall, arms wrapped around her knees.
Rita sniffed and wiped away her tears. "I didn't think that Sabretooth and Pyro would actually come for Rogue, or even for me. I never thought that would happen in all my life." Rita sobbed.
"What actually happened?" Ororo smiled, she was so sweet and caring to Rita.
"Well, I was with um, Rogue and then I…I heard a guy call for me, and I went upstairs. Then…then I found Pyro upstairs and he, he told me that if I screamed he would hurt me, or Sabretooth would kill me or my kids. I, I just couldn't let him do that so I went along with their game until I couldn't take it anymore, I…I had to scream, I just couldn't let them have their fun without me fighting back. Then you showed up." Tears were streaming down Rita's face by the time she finished with the memory.
Rogue and Kitty looked from each other to Rita, they were scared for her. Everyone knew that Magneto had in fact lied to Rita about her family and now he wanted her back, at any cost. Even if she was just a 'little toy' to keep the boys happy for a while until some new girl showed up.
Rita cringed when there was a loud, powerful knock at the door until Ororo stood up and opened the door, it was Logan. Ororo turned and looked at Rita "Don't let them get to you like that, if you do then they win. They scared you and that's what they wanted, its part of their fun."
"She's right Rita." Logan walked to Rita and sat next to her, putting an arm around her and holding her close.
Everyone in the room looked up when there was another knock on the doorframe, it was Bobby Drake. "Hi Rita" Bobby took a step toward Rita as she cringed in Logan's arms.
"You should go Bobby, she needs time." Jean told Bobby as he left the room and she closed the door, it seemed that the only men Rita would let near her would be Logan, Evan, Remy, and of course Charles.
Rita turned and looked out the window, just to make sure that the Brotherhood had really left. What she saw was something that she defiantly didn't want. Of all the people in Westchester, Holly had to be the one walking up to the front door. Rita sighed as Logan looked to see Holly.
"Don't worry Rita, she wont bug you, we'll kick her out." With that, Logan and Jean stood up and walked downstairs. Jean opened the door and smiled when she saw Holly.
"Yes Holly, what do you want?" Jean looked about ready to kill Holly, but was just holding back the urge to do so.
"I was just wondering if Rita might be home?" Holly smiled sweetly as Logan walked to the door, standing behind Jean.
"Sorry, she doesn't really want to see you right now, maybe you can fall off the earth so that Rita might have even a little peace in her life?" Logan smiled and was about to close the door until Holly put a hand against it and opened it again.
"I don't think so, well not just yet." Holly smiled and walked into the mansion, running a hand along Logan's face as she stepped into the hallway.
Logan jerked away from Holly's touch as he leaned against the wall to hear whatever she wanted now. "Then what else do you want?"
"What I want Logan, is you." Holly walked towards Logan and quickly pressed her lips against his, right in front of Jean.
'Logan! Push her away or something, don't just stand there and let her kiss you unless you really want Scott to come find you and go off and tell Rita, making her run away…again.' Logan looked at Jean as he pushed Holly off him, which was not easy now that she had already wrapped her arms around his neck.
Holly gave Logan one of the saddest faces he had ever seen on a girl before walking back towards him and putting her hand on his chest, kissing him again.
"Down girl, down. He's hands-off understand? Logan is not yours for the taking, he's Rita's, plus I'm not sure he would like you if he didn't have Rita so stay off him." Jean was pissed, she was so tired of watching Holly flaunt herself and Logan not break her neck.
"Your not his mother, not even in his family so I'm pretty sure that Logan can decide who he wants to be with himself, besides if he ends up liking me more then Rita, well its not my fault." Holly smiled at Jean and turned back to Logan.
Jean looked down, knowing that even if Logan didn't show it on the outside, well Holly had hit a sore spot for Logan. The fact that he had no family, well none that could be remembered, he hated it, everyone knew it so he hid his pain with violence. And everything that Holly just said was totally wrong, and so mean of her.
"Your right Holly, your not my family and you never will be. Maybe if you could tell me one thing that you might know about me, then I might go out with you, but I don't think you can and you never will be able to." Logan glared at Holly, even though it wasn't her fault that he had a bad past he needed to blame someone right now, and the other person around was Jean and he couldn't get mad at Jean unless he really wanted to have a nice fight with 'shades'.
Holly opened her mouth to protest but closed it, she couldn't think of ever knowing anything about Logan except that fact that he had a really great body. She didn't even know his last name, as far as she knew Rita was still using her maiden name for some strange reason. She looked over to Jean for help, or something on her face that might tell her what to say but all Jean could do was smile. "And you find this so funny because?"
"Because, Logan's right. The only person who knows anything real about his past is Rita. And she doesn't want to talk to you so it seems that you lose for once, though I think you should go because Rita will come down here soon if you keep Logan any longer." Jean smiled once more at Holly then walked upstairs, she knew Logan would be up soon.
Holly, being the brain-dead prep she was, decided to try for one last shot and getting Logan to like. Except the second she touched him she heard a loud *SNIKT* and when he raised his hand, he had a large, 9 inch metal claw-like thing between each knuckle. Holly gasped and backed away, the only time she had seen them was when Rita got hurt, though she did not get a good look, only for a few seconds.
"Wha…what are you going to do with those?" Holly asked nervously as Logan backed her against the door.
"Get out of my sight, unless you really want an answer to that nice little question of yours." Logan glared at Holly as Scott walked downstairs.
"What is she doing here?" Scott walked towards Holly as his eyes began to glow a bright red behind the ruby quartz glasses.
"Your all freaks you know that?" Holly yelled and opened the door to leave, until Logan put his arm in her way.
"Then don't come back if were such freaks. Now leave." With that Logan and Scott stepped back so she could open the door and leave. Logan watched as she left, walking silently across the freshly watered grass.
"Well that was fun, by the way, I think Rita wants you again, she's pretty scared, I've never seen her like that." Scott told Logan.
"I know she's scared, but I don't think it's because of Sabretooth and Pyro, I think she's more scared of what they'll do to Shawn and Marie if she doesn't cooperate." Logan said to Scott as he walked back upstairs, going into his room. The four other girls were still there and Rita was still on the bed, as if she had not moved.
"Why did it take you so long Logan?" Rita asked as Logan sat next to her again and looked to Jean for help.
"Holly was being a bitch, but don't worry, she's gone." Logan told Rita as he pulled her closer to him, resting her head on his chest.
"He's right Rita, she was being, well, a bitch to put it nicely." Jean looked at Rita, and smiled, trying to make her feel even a little bit better.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Rita jumped the second that Marie had started crying that night, she was still in her room with Logan, Kitty and Jean had left to go on their dates, but Ororo and Rogue stayed. Everyone knew to stay away from Rita if they were male for a few days, unless it was Remy or Evan, but she never did go downstairs.
Ororo and Rogue stood up from he chairs they were sitting in and went to the next room, coming back in a few minutes with Shawn and Marie. "Thanks" Rita smiled for the first time that night. She took Marie from Ororo and held Marie close, glad that nothing had happened to her or her brother.
Marie instantly fell asleep once she was in her mother's arms; though getting Shawn to sleep was a much different matter. It took Rogue about a half hour to finally get him to sleep, and by that time Rita had already fallen asleep with Marie in her arms, leaning against Logan.
