Hey, thanks for reminding me this story still existed! I'm sorry it took so long to post something, but here it is finally! At the moment I'm pretty busy, but I hope to write more soon. I have some ideas for this story but also for some new ones. To pass time here's part 9:

Logan rushed to the elevator, but it was in use. Remy had just returned and now he, Ororo and Jubilee went down to see Logan. Logan hit the doors out of frustration. He waited till they were there, stepped in and went up without saying anything. The others in the elevator just looked at him and decided not to say anything. Logan went out and they followed him to the garden. Jubilee was the first to speak. 'How're ya doing, Wolvie?

'Fine.'

'Yeah, right…'

Logan sighed and decided she was just concerned and didn't deserve to be snapped at. 'I'm alright, darlin''

'Really?'

He looked at her. 'Really.'

She hugged him tightly. 'Oh, Wolvie I was so afraid…'

He put his big, hairy arms around her slender back. 'It's okay darlin', I'm fine.'

She pulled loose from his light grip and glared at him. 'If ya ever do something that stupid again, I'll hurt ya bad ya big lug!'

'I bet ya do.' He said smiling at her. She soon smiled back and hugged him again.

Ororo and Remy stood in awe about the scene that played in front of their eyes. They were amazed how Jubilee could affect the pained man so easily. Jubilee had lifted Logan's spirits in no time. When Jubilee finally released Logan, he turned to face Ororo and Remy. 'Hey, guys.'

'Hello, Logan. How are you feeling, my friend?'

'Like I said ta Jubes here, I'm fine.'

'I am glad Logan. You were out of the laboratory soon?'

'Uh…well…yeah ya could say that.'

'Logan…'

' I ran off.'

'Why?'

'Chuck and Hank, they were whining about the medicine that it isn't out off my system yet and wouldn't let me go. So I left.'

'I take it they are angry with you?'

'I guess. Doesn't matter anyway, I'm out of duty already. They can't make it worse.'

'I am sure it is for your own good Logan.'

'Yeah right…'

'So what are ya gonna do now Wolvie?'

'Don't know…I'm not allowed in the dangerroom or to leave the mansion. So I guess I just go to my room and relax a bit. Maybe listen ta some music or read something.'

'Reading?' Jubilee frowned. 'You read? Ya know reading involves *books* and not fighting, Harley, beer, bar…'

'Yeah I know, so?'

'I don't know ya ain't the reading type that's all. Besides books are boring.'

'*sigh*… sure kid. Anyway I don't know what ta do.' Logan sniffed the air. 'Guess what. I already have something ta deal with.'

A few seconds later Charles came in to view.

'Logan here you are! You were not allowed to leave.'

'So what.'

'We need to talk Logan. Now.'

'So talk.'

'Not here, in my office privately.'

Logan shrugged, looked at his friends apologetically and followed Charles to his office.

'Like I said, I'm very concerned about you. Especially about what happened yesterday. I am not sure why you took those pills and I want an explanation.'

'I already told ya. I was tired, nothing else. I didn't want ta kill myself if ya think that.'

'I'm glad, Logan. I truly am. After what happened when Mariko died I was afraid this was another attempt.'

'I wanted ta die right then. I don't wanna die anymore. I don't like my life, but I can't be that selfish. I would kill Jubes with me.'

'I'm afraid that's true. Afraid and glad. She seems to stabilize you.' 

'So, I'm stable. Can I go now?'

'No, you can not. You went feral almost every mission the last period of time and you even attacked Jean. You take medicines because you are tired. This is strange behavior Logan, even for you. Care to explain?'

Logan stood and walked to the large window. He stared outside for a moment then turned with a pained expression on his face. 'I…I don't wanna tell ya.'

'Why not?'

''Cause ya've done enough or me already. You're busy with important things and ya can't use my problems on top of that.'

'Logan I *want* to help you. What can be more important than my friend.'

'Thanks Chuck, really. But I really don't wanna.'

'Alright then, I respect that decision, but I want you to go to someone else for help. This can't go on and you know that. So please Logan get some help, if you don't, I'll be forced to make you open up to me and I don't want to do that.'

'I know. 'Ro and Gumbo are helping me figure this out. If we can't solve it, you'll be the first ta know and I hope you will help me then.'

'Of course, my friend.'

'Thanks, we gonna work it out Chuck, ya can bet on that!'

'I hope so.'
