Ch.8
Two days later. Phoenix's lunch hour.
"Logan?" Phoenix called. "Yeah." Wolverine said stopping his path to the garage and turning around to go into the kitchen. "Are you going somewhere?" Phoenix asked worried. When she saw Wolverine walking by bag packed leather jacket on and cowboy boots. "Yeah I've already talked to the Professor. I'm going away for awhile a long while. Going to try something new get my life off the rocks you know." Wolverine said. "Why can't you do all that here?" Phoenix asked. "Well, you have plenty of support from the team now. The team doesn't need me. Strikers dead, Magneto's laying low. And besides I'm no good here. I'm just wasting school money when it could be used on something else something better. So I decided I head to the other side of the country maybe California or up Washington way. Ya know?" Wolverine said. "Logan you know that you don't waste funds. And we do need you. Stay please." Phoenix asked troubled that he was leaving. "No, good luck to both you and Scott. I hope you have a great life together. You never know maybe I could find someone for me." He said but his look said he didn't mean it. "Well gotta go if I'm to get anywhere today. Oh, please tell Rogue to try to make up with Bobby. I think that kid could make her happy believe it or not." Wolverine said as he turned and walked away. He never looked back. But if he did he would of seen the tears that welled up in Phoenix's eyes. She felt as if she had lost her best friend. After school Phoenix and Rogue.
"Rogue can I speak with you for a moment?" Phoenix asked. The bell had just rung and the students were quickly packing up and leaving to pursue their own devices. "Sure Miss. Phoenix what about?" Rogue said walking over to Phoenix's desk. "Logan left this afternoon. He asked me tell you that you should try to work things out with Bobby. That Bobby could make you happy." Phoenix told her. "Left you mean ran again right? Where to?" Rogue asked. "Somewhere out west California, Washington somewhere up there." Phoenix answered getting a little worried. "Rogue you won't do anything will you?" "No Miss. Phoenix thank you for giving me the message." Rogue grabbed her stuff and left the classroom quickly. Rogue and Kitty's room. One month later.
Rogue ran into her bedroom. Though what Wolverine said was probably true about her and Bobby. She had to make sure Wolverine was okay first. Even if it meant forever destroying the relationship she had with Bobby. She couldn't understand her need to check on Wolverine but something told her that he needed her now more than ever. Pulling out her backpack she stuffed as many jeans and t-shirts as she could in her backpack along with other necessities and 3 pairs of evening gloves. Jotting down a note really quick. She told Bobby not to worry and that they needed to talk as soon as she got back. But she was safe and needed a little time on her own. She also left a note for Dr. Xavier begging forgiveness for her leaving without his permission and that she needed to get away. After the bell rang for dinner and everyone was downstairs eating. Rogue quietly left the bedroom snuck downstairs and out of the mansion. From there she hitched hiked to the airport. There she bought a ticket to Spokane, Washington. Wolverine, Spokane Washington.
Wolverine had done it in the few short weeks of being around Spokane he had found a nice business place bought and started right away refurbishing it. Tomorrow was to be the grand opening. What he had found was a small bar in a good part of town. He had tore everything down then installed new things like the cherry wood bar. The stage to the left, though in most acts his dancing girls performed on the bar routines in them. There were tables sitting here and there and booths along the back wall. By the stage was a good size dancing floors for those young bloods and people looking for a good time. In the short time it took to get everything though and how it was coming had what inspired the name The Second Chance. People who walked by always stopped at stared at his sign in the window. Yeah, opening night was going to be big.
