Disclaimer: None of these characters are mine, except for Aurora, Rian,
Granite and Serpentine, and the weapons I gave to Orion, plus her name. But
the character itself remains Marvel's. Plot is mine though.
Throughout story: " " = Speech ' ' = Thoughts ^ ^ = Telepath
Don't worry! The second story has already got a basic plot and all the characters have been designed. It's the hols for me at the moment so there should be no hold up. After the last chapter it should flow on nice and steadily to the next story titled; "The Hatred Of Hearts."
And as for Logan admitting to aurora.. well, he was never one to be open. It won't happen in this story I'm afraid, keep you eyes open though for the hints ;)
Chapter 54
Out of the darkening sky, a large jet soared with utmost grace and landed upon the concrete quietly despite it tremendous size. The X-Men and the students gathered round eagerly. The side door was lowered and the group poured in to escape the cold weather.
Charles was at the front of the jet, wheels locked into special brakes on the floor, "I'm glad you all are ok. How did you do in there?"
Students piled into the seats that surrounded the jet. It was large enough for the students and the X-Men. Logan dropped Aurora in a leather seat by the Professor, "We did alright.. Magneto's side suffered the worse."
"Why? What happened?" He asked.
Logan softly hmphed, placing a cool hand upon Aurora's ankle to try and ease the swelling. He didn't answer.
Scott came up, followed by Storm, "John passed away.." Said Storm gently, eyes flicking to the hunched form of Bobby. She looked away with a sigh and place Kurt in the seat beside Aurora. Kurt groaned quietly, her head drooping upon his shoulder.
Scott canted his head and thumbed the door. Storm nodded gently, "Bye Professor.." Storm and Scott travelled down the ramp and to the Blackbird behind in order to fly her home. The sky was free of clouds and stars had begun to sparkle merrily down upon the two jets.
Charles watched Logan serenely, a light frown over his brow, but he said nothing.
Logan sighed, "He told me to tell you.. that you were right."
Charles frown deepened, "He regretted his actions."
Logan nodded softly before he suddenly announced, "I had to do it.."
Charles now fired up the jet, allowing the machine to rise from the concrete and steadily rising to the starry heavens, "I understand."
Logan looked up, "He would have probably killed Aurora.. and certainly scorched me." Upon saying this he looked briefly to Aurora who had fell asleep in the seat, her head gently canted.
"I understand." Charles repeated.
Logan frowned and suddenly stood to his feet and went to join Bobby, "Hey." He said softly.
Bobby looked up slowly at Logan before his eyes dropped again, "Mm.."
Logan sat beside him, frowning, "Look.. About Pyro.."
Bobby sighed. It was only a sigh, but it caused Logan to stop speaking.
"I had to do it Bobby.. You should have seen him.. He'd been twisted by Magneto, he couldn't help himself."
"No.. but you could!" Suddenly said Bobby, glaring to Logan, "What are you?! Some killing machine! He didn't deserve to die!" Cried Bobby, now stood and glaring down at Logan.
Logan now stood, growling down upon the young mutant, "There are times in y'life when you don't have any choice. They are people you have to protect! You would have done it for Rogue!"
Bobby said nothing. He sat back down, frowning down at the floor.
Logan grunted and sat back down beside the Professor, watching the starry sky pass by idly.
"Well handled." Commented Charles softly with a frown to Logan.
Logan snorted and slouched in the seat, "It had to be done."
Charles sighed and looked down to the radar screen, "Perhaps. You have to be cruel to be kind nowadays."
The jet remained rather silent as she travelled grandly, it's smaller sister, the Blackbird in tow behind. The sky was a rich purple and dots of stars sparkled as the mutants travelled back to their home where a 'normal' life could once more begin.
