Were back. Thanks to all the new reviewers (klucky, Lucky439, and Cassie-bear01)
rollo: I agree that they have been depressing, but the mansion was destroyed, the whole country was being turned against them, and the professor was missing; so I doubt it was a happy time for any of them. Hopefully now that everything has been fixed in the show things will get a little better.
klucky: There is defiantly a Rogue/Logan thing going on, but it is like you said it's a father/daughter or as I see it an older brother/younger sister thing rather than a romance.
I know this is short, but I felt like any more would be adding stuff that was out of place. Thanks again for the reviews and now on with the show.
She sat down in the open doorway of the X-Helicopter battered notebook in hand. Kurt, Kitty, and Evan were at the back cargo entrance, listing to a small radio of Kitty's as the Goth took out her pen and began to write.
…Today started out about as bad as it could have, but ended up better than anyone expected.
Logan took me to a little country store to get Kurt's batteries and a few other supplies for the kids back at the cave. Yes, we were living in a cave. Anyway, we get there and while were looking around guess who's face gets plastered on the TV screen. You guessed it, yours truly, and theirs no way I'm that fat.
No big deal right? Mutant hunting squads all around and my face being flashed all over TV. I tried to do what Logan said and keep a low profile but it's kind of hard when a couple of soldiers walk in through the door.
To make a long story short we fight, blab bla bla, inappropriate use of spray icing, bla bla bla, and I get to drive the getaway car, or motorcycle.
That felt good, just going as fast as I could without worrying about getting pulled over or getting in trouble. (I was ignoring the fact that we were being chased by government helicopters shooting missiles at us.) I think I actually scared Logan a little bit there, I felt him flinch behind me when the paint on the gas tank got scratched. Serves the old boy right, never underestimate a southern gal's driving abilities. Guess if I tell him to hold on in the future he'll take it seriously.
We got back to the cave with the military helicopters hot on our tail and Logan went into war mode. It was the first time I've seen him like that, usually Mr. McCoy or Storm bring him back down to earth, but with them gone and he being the eldest of the group that wasn't going to happen. It makes sense though, Kitty hasn't said much about what happened to Wolverine in Canada but from the tiny bits and peaces of memory that I accumulated from touching her it was defiantly something to do with the military. That and the fact that he was involved in probably every war in at least the past seventy years. G.I. Logan.
Fast forward again and Logan takes off, pissed at Scott's attitude of wanting to run away. He looked at me before the helicopters broke through Bobby's ice-wall. He never told me to go with him, if he had said the words I would have gotten on that bike without a moments hesitation. But he didn't, so I stood there and watched him ride away through the explosions.
So there we were. Running from the military in a stolen jet/helicopter thing, Logan had gone AWOL. The professor is still missing, and to top it all off Juggernaut started attacking a dam. The media was all over it, televising these "Mutant Terrorist".
Scott took us in. Just like him I was worried that no matter what we did, mutants would be blamed. Even if we saved the dam, people would start accusing us of setting it up, like they accused us of building the Sentinel.
Juggernaut pretty much beat the living crap out of us. Scott even took off his visor and gave it to him full force, but he just walked through it like someone spraying him with a water hose. His bare hand nearly wrapped completely around Scott's head, it was the same hand that I've see crush iron beams.
I had to do it.
I grabbed his head and held on like a bull rider, it felt like forever before I felt my power kick in. At first it wasn't bad, I got his strength and it felt good kicking his butt and throwing him off the dam. Then, like always, the memories. They hit me like a ton of bricks, knocking me off my feet. But luckily the first thing I saw was the professor.
I sat in the back corner of the helicopter all the way to where the professor was being held. All these thoughts of him filled my head; I despised him for bringing me to the institute. It was his fault, if he had left me alone I would have been fine, he wanted me to come here and used his mutie powers to force me. The cripple wanted protection; he surrounded himself with brainwashed teens that would fight to the death for him.
I know now that it was Juggernaut's feeling seeping into my conscious mind, but at the time I had a great urge to strangle the professor while he was laying unconscious on the gurney. Its times like that when I'm sort of thankful I've absorbed Sabertooth, it makes it easier to deal with borderline psycho's when you've already beaten Hannibal Lecter out of your head.
So in the end we saved the professor, the camera footage of us fighting Juggernaut and saving the town was shown everywhere, and to Scott and my relief we were heroes. I don't think it will fix everything, but at least it got Storm and Mr. McCoy out of the senate in good favor. Trask was put is jail, Logan came back and told Scott that he did a good job, the closest thing to an apology that I think will ever come out of Wolvie's mouth.
It didn't take long for the professor to wake up. I wasn't there when he did, but by the expression on Jean's face I knew he had asked what happened while he was out. We've taken him to the ruins of the Mansion, and I can tell how hard it is on him. He's just wheeling around the rubble alone, to us it was really just like a school dorm or something, but it was his home, and life's work. I don't know if he has any plans to rebuild or not, right now he's still pretty weak and coming to terms with what happened while he was out.
It's funny, when he was gone I thought of all the things I would tell him if he ever came back. I wanted him to continue teaching me how to keep people out of my head, let him read this journal; I even wanted to give him a hug. But now that he is back, I can't do it. I really wanted to give him this, let him see that I have been doing like he said and writing my thoughts out, but I just can't seem to take the first step.
I'm going to have to stop writing now. "Don't worry be happy" just came on Kitty's little radio and she's making no move to change the channel. Maybe if we build a new mansion they can put up a sound barrier in our room...
Rogue got up and walked away from the helicopter's open hanger door where Kitty, Kurt, and Evan were talking and listing to the words of Bobby McFerrin. She looked over where the Mansion once stood, and the Professor silently sitting in the middle of what was once the main hall. Her stomach growled, apparently loud enough to place a small smile on Logan's face across the clearing. *I really wish I hadn't put those cupcakes back on the shelf at the store.* She thought as her hand held her middle, trying unsuccessfully to muffle the noise.
Please review and tell me what you think. I'm not going to be in town next Saturday, so depending on how that works out their may or may not be an entry after the next episode, "Mainstream".
