Ch 06. Worry

Lost in his thoughts as usual, Bobby Drake didn't see Logan coming until it was too late. Logan growled at the boy and he backed off hurridly, having had far too amny encounters with Logan when he first came to the school, over Rogue.

"Logan." The female voice came down the corridor making him stop in his tracks.

"Jeannie?" He turned and raised his eyebrow. "Ya wantin' somethin'?" She shot him a disapproving look.

"Please be careful around the students Logan. They're not as resilient as you are, and they're probably breakable too." The pair laughed, and Jean looked at him curiously. "You were looking for me?" Logan paused.

"Jeannie, I want t' talk to ya about Rogue."

"Surely the professor."

"Nah, has t be you Jeannie. You know her." Nodding, Jean lead him towards the sitting area, closing the immediate vicinity off to students and staff and telepaths.

"Whats wrong Logan?" Concern showed evident on Jeans face. "She is alright, isn't she?"

He nodded. "Yeah shes fine. I'm just. worried bout her. Gumbo's getting awfully close." Jean smiled.

"They're young Logan."

"I don't think havin that womanisin Cajun around hers gonna do her any good. You're her friend. Whats goin on?"

"Logan, I cant.."

"Please Jeannie? I mean. Kids gettin more like me everyday, an then theres Gumbo. She don't want me around anymore does she?"

"That's not the case Logan. Rogue needs friends her own age. I really don't think I'm the best person to talk to about this."

"Youre the only one who understands her even a little."

"That's the thing with Rogue. She doesn't LET anyone get near her, but I think." Jean trailed off suddenly, and Logans ears pricked up as he caught the sound of footsteps running from the door. "Leave it Logan." He looked at her, confused. "It was Rogue."
