[Wow. I didn't expect my story to have such an effect on you all. Sorry about that. It wasn't planned, I swear. I just noticed that no one's written a story where Logan dies. Or perhaps I haven't found one. o.O Anyways... Gomen ne(sorry) for taking long to update. I've been writing other stories, helping peeps with their own, and doing school. but I'm back! and Spring break is coming! so maybe I'll write more! yay!! Now....
^^;; Thanks Snake-sama!
Thanks Cookie, I'll try! .;; You know how lazy I am. lol.
Amara Aquilla: sure I'll add Magma and ShadowCat in this chapter.
Elizabeth braddock-Grey: It's a bit of both I guess. Or not, due to some marriages. But yes, I think flashbacks would do some good in Logan's rememberance.
Airforce babe: Don't cry...-hugz-. Sorry about Jean and Scott seperating. It's not for long though. 6.6 ...I gotta say I'm not fond of the two.
-Knocks on Blue Lady's door- Please come out. It's not that bad. We all miss him too.

Chapter 2...
[This chapter may be a little slow. Bare with me peeps. I'm trying.]
"Xavier, I came as soon as I heard the news." Xavier looked up on the busty young woman. Someone he hasn't seen in such a while since her engagement to Pete Wisdom. Kitty Pride stood in the doorway with her hands in her coat pockets. Pete stood beside her with an umbrella over their heads.
"Please, do come in." Xavier suggested, wheeling himself a few feet back from the door. Kitty and Pete stepped inside and took their coats off to hang them on the coat rack. Kitty removed her shades and stuck it in her purse then removed her gloves. She turned to the professor.
"Tell me, how are the others?" She asked following the old man as he wheeled his way into the Rec. Room.
"See for yourself." he replied.
Remy and Rogue sat in a one-seater, asleep. Jubilee sat infront of the television set, angrilly ripping out pictures from her to-drool-for Hot-Boy Magazines. Ororo, using a little weather cloud, watered a few of the inside plants as she reclined in a chair to read a good book. Nathan and Rachel Summers, giggling to the silence, played a quick game of Connect Four as their father went through a few phonebooks to find a pizza place that'd deliver on this rainy day.
"I see." Kitty frowned stepping even further into the room. She paused, looking around once more. She noticed Jean wasn't around and thought it awkward that Scott was here by himself with the kids. She needn't to ask where the red-head had gone because she could guess what the situation was about.
"Kitty Pryde." A voice rang. Kitty turned to see Hank emerging from the kitchen with a fresh glass of Orange Juice. By the looks of his lab coat, he must of been cooking up something in the basement.
"Hank. Long time no see. How are you?"
"I've been better." He said, blowing his nose in a handkerchief. "Caught a case of the flu."
"And I see you're still hard at work." She smiled, directing to his lab coat. Pete took a seat on the couch next to Ororo and gazed around at the others. Hank smiled sheepishly as he ran a hand through the fur on his head.
"Yeah. I guess I'm always into my studies. uh...If you'll excuse me."
Kitty nodded with a smile and watched as her old friend left the room. She took her stand next to the Professor.
"I see that everyone's doing quite well." She commented aloud. Xavier brought his hands in a fold under his chin.
"Not quite. Nightcrawler, Magma, Marrow, Sage, Bishop, and Psylocke has taken a sudden leave of absence and I haven't heard from Angel since the funeral."
"They must be having a hard time." She concluded, looking over the faces of her old friends.
"Maybe." Xavier shrugged.
"Kitty? Kitty Pryde, is that you?" Rogue, wiping her tired eyes, sat up. Remy, too drunk to even squint his eyes, shifted his weight to get more comfortable. He propped a leg up over the arm of the chair and covered his face with Rogue's hat. Kitty smiled.
"Rogue. Awake are we?" Rogue advanced to her friend and gave her a hug. Surprised, Kitty laughed. "Well...that's new."
"Kit, Ah was only restin' mah eyes. Where've you been? Ah haven't seen you since mah weddin'!" She glanced over to Pete on the couch flipping through those manly magazines. "Has he been keepin' ya' away all dis tahme?"
Kitty laughed. "Of course not. I've just been away on business trips. And yourself?"
"Not too good. Ya'know, Ah'm still havin' a hard time with Logan bein' gone and all. Remy's tryin' ta keep up but...ya'know..." Kitty nodded. She couldn't help but to glance to Rogue's hunkster who semi-snored from below the hat.
"I understand."
Pete leaned his head back on the couch to his off and on girlfriend. Kitty and Rogue both looked down on him.
"Uh...hun? Would you be a doll and get me a beer or something? I can see that you've got a lot of catching up to do and..." Raising a brow, Kitty and Rogue both turned away to resume their conversation, leaving him to blink awkwardly.
"So...lahke Ah was sayin'," Rogue placed an arm around Kitty's shoulder and they began to walk.
-Flashback-
"Logan."
"hm?"
"Remember the day when I uh...stumbled in on you?" A flushed Katherine recalled. Logan groaned.
"Yeah. The shower incident."
"Yep. It was... funny. I didn't mean to do it. Jubilee kind of... pushed me into the wall." Katherine sheepishly smiled. He growled lowly, glowering as he reached for his can of heineken. Rogue took a seat on the opposite side of Logan.
"Yeah, Logan. KitKat here said you had a whopper." Kitty gasped and Rogue smirked, raising a brow at the handsome Wolverine. Rogue looked him over, wondering if he really had a whopper or was it a Big Mac like Jubilee used to protest. Logan sighed.
"Yeah, well. That was a long time ago. Let's put it behind us, eh?"
Katherine smiled in Rogue's direction.
"Of course."
-Flashback Ends-
A rapping sounded against the mansion's front doors, loud and almost impatient. Ororo risen from her seat and advanced to the door. She moved a hand of hers and brushed away at the satin curtains above the window and peered out. A busty young woman stood before it, shielding herself from the rain with an outdated umbrella. Halfway soaked, she shivered beneath the little spot of shelter. Ororo gasped, dropping the curtains and moved to unlock the doors. She pulled them open.
"Amara!"
Amara gave a simple smile. "Ms. Ororo."
"Hurry child, come in from the rain." Ororo said, stretching a hand out to guide her inside. Amara stepped in, setting down her umbrella beside the door and removed her raincoat. She chuckled lightly, draping a hand against her head to remove her wet curls from her shoulders.
"I would of used my powers to keep warm but the rain is too much."
"It's been raining since..." Ororo trailed off, nodding to Amara. "...you know."
Amara gave a sigh.
"I know. It's just not the same without the big guy..." she paused, looking to the ground. "How're the others doing?"
"See for yourself." Ororo led her to the rec-room and folded her hands in front of her. All eyes directed to the young flame. She gave a sad sigh as she took in the silence and looked upon everyone else's faces. They seemed disoriented and fragile as if waiting to crumble at the first word. Rogue waved in her direction.
"Amahra." she greeted, motioning for her to sit. Amara nodded to the others as she crossed the room and sat beside Rogue and Katherine. She passed a hand through her drenched hair.
"What's up?" she said lowly, trying not to disturb the deafening silence of the room. Katherine took Amara's hand in hers and comforted them.
"How've you been, Amara?"
"Great. What about you and the others?" she asked, glancing around. Remy murmured something in his sleep and shifted to get a bit more comfortable. That caused a brief smirk from his wife and friends. Rogue nodded.
"It's been going okay. But things have gotten a bit quieter since he left 'n all."
"Yeah, Scott and Jean have left the mansion and we haven't heard from Marrow or Angel in a while." included Katherine. She shook her head looking over to the professor.
"Lately, the professor's been out of it, but he's managed to carry on a little at a time." Rogue chimed in, looking in Amara's direction.
"The only ones putting things behind them is Ororo. She hasn't let a tear fall yet."
"Maybe she's holding it in to be strong for all of us?" remarked Amara.
"Maybe." Katherine stood up stretching a bit. "Want anything from the fridge?"
"Yeah, a coke please."
"You can make me a ham sandwich while you're up, kitkat." Katherine rolled her eyes and retreated to the kitchen. Amara sighed in tune with the rain against the window. She stared at the floor beneath her boots and listened to the snores of Rogue's husband. Katherine returned with two cokes and a ham sandwich for Rogue.
[This one ends here because I didn't know where to go from there. x.x sorry. I'll figure out how to start the next chapter. Promise.]
