Chapter 3: Uncle Nick
AN: Sorry it took so long, but my father kept taking the power cord for my laptop because he left his at a hotel when he was on a business trip.
Once Gambit and Pyro were asleep Logan headed up to the first floor to raid the refrigerator when he caught wind of something (literally).
sniff-sniff
It was her.
Logan closed the refrigerator door and walked out onto the patio.
sniff-sniff He was positive now.
"Alright, kid, I know yer here. C'mon out." Logan crossed his arms and waited.
There was a pause.
Then the bushes along side the kitchen began to rustle and X23 crawled out and stood to face Wolverine.
"That's better," said Wolverine looking down at his little clone, "I thought you were off communing with nature or something."
"I was," snapped X23.
"What drove you so far into civilization?" asked Logan.
"That one-eyed dumb ass with Shield!" grumbled X23.
"Nick Fury?"
"Ya, that's him," she said.
"How much of lead do you have?" asked Logan.
Before X23 could answer choppers could be heard overhead.
SKNIT!-X23 drew her claws.
"Put those away! That's not how to deal with Fury, trust me," said Wolverine.
"I can handle myself!" X23 insisted.
"Look, kid, I've been dealing with guys like Fury a lot longer than you have," Logan began to go into a parental lecture when he was interrupted.
"You gave us quite a chase, X23." said Fury walking off a chopper that just landed, "Now, come quietly or we'll shoot you down."
All the helicopter's guns were aimed at X23.
"Alright that's enough," said Logan scooping X23 up into his arms.
"Hey," X23 started to squirm until Logan pinned her over his hip.
"She's an X-Man now Fury, if you want her yer gonna have ta go through all of us." Wolverine growled, "starting with Xavier."
"You do realize by protecting her you're forcing me to come after you too," Fury countered.
"Ya, like that's news?" Logan rolled his eyes and looked X23, "Alright, Darlin', say 'good-bye' to Uncle Nick."
"Good-bye, Uncle Nick," said X23 sweetly as both she and Wolverine gave Fury the finger with their claws. Then Logan carried her inside.
"This is not-"
SLAM!
Fury was cut off by the kitchen door slamming.

"OMG! OMG! OMG! You're like marrying Pyro!" Kitty was literally bouncing around holding the box, which contained a sizable diamond ring.
"SSSHHHHH! You're the only two who know so far. Don't tell any one."
Rogue glanced over at Kitty than back at Wanda, "Got any super glue? Ah tried to duct tape he mouth shut once and it wasn't enough."
"More importantly like what are you going to do when Magneto finds out?" Kitty stopped mid-bounce frozen with fear.
"With any luck he won't find out until after the Apocalypse," said Wanda turning back to her magazine.
Rogue and Kitty exchanged disapproving looks.
"No really," said Rogue drolly, "what's yer plan."
"Right now," said Wanda, "it doesn't exist yet. I figured John and I would hang from the bridge when we got to it."
"Well then we like have to give you a bachlorette party with strippers and everything!" squealed Kitty.
"No!" said Wanda firmly, "I appreciate the offer, but if you don't mind I'd like to keep this under wraps for as long as mutantly possible. I would like to have a wedding night in which St. John is in tact."
"Duly noted," said Rogue, "so what are you planning for the wedding?"
"Right now something quick and affordable," said Wanda pulling a huge plastic box out from underneath the bed. There must have at least 50 wedding magazines in it.
The girls spent the next couple of hours flipping through magazines. Then Rogue and Kitty went back to the Institute.
Once they had reached their room and had barricaded the door Rogue turned to Kitty with an evil glint in her eye, "Ah have an idea for Wanda can do for her weddin', but Ah need yer laptop and I can't tell you what it is until Ah get everything set up."
"Sounds like a plan." said Kitty, "And I'll work on where they're going to live afterwards."
"Uh, sure, Kitty you do that," said Rogue rolling her eyes as she accessed the internet.

Later that night after Gambit and Pyro had dinner Kurt decided to take a walk down to the med lab-you know "just for some exercise".
Kurt backed into the room and closed the door making sure no one had followed him.
"Well, if it ain't Creepy Crawly," said St. John looking up from one of Wanda's wedding magazines Kitty was kind enough to smuggle out of the BoM's house and bring to him.
"It's Nightcrawler," Kurt glared at John.
"You lost, homme?" Gambit looked up from his Playboy. More correctly Logan's Playboy, Remy swiped it when Logan went to raid the refrigerator.
"No, I came to call in that favor," said Kurt not sure where to look (Girls Night Out ref).
"Oh, Gambit gets now," said Remy shoving the porno mag under his pillow, "filly problems, non?"
"Ja, how did you know?" asked a rather impressed but at the same time baffled Kurt.
"Remy's been doin' dis a lot longa den you, pup. Now, tell Remy what happened."
"Vell, alright..." and with that Kurt recounted his, rather embarrassing first attempt at sexual exploits with Amanda.

Meanwhile Logan was trying to put X23 to bed without much success.
"What are you doing?" asked X23 critically eyeing Wolverine as he attempted to tuck her in for the second time.
He decided it was best to talk her through this process of going to bed after she thought he was trying to choke her the first time and shredded the sheets. Things weren't going as well as he'd hoped this second time around either. She refused to retract her claws, but on the up side she wasn't using them. So, in the end progress was progress he figured for the time being.
"I'm just tucking you in, alright?" said Logan as he pulled the covers up to her chin.
X23 shot him an incredulous look.
Logan sat down on the bed and sighed, "What now?"
"Adults actually do this with children?!"
"Yes, why?" Wolverine answered.
"This is pointless!-This bed is too soft for starters and what's with the covers? It's not like I need them. I'd rather sleep on the floor anyway. Not to mention the fact I can put myself to bed."
Logan rolled his eyes in exasperation, "Look kid, do me a favor and just play along for now, ok?"
"Why?" asked X23.
"Because if you don't Storm will be tucking you in tomorrow night, not me. And she'll read you a story and kiss you." Logan said as a tease.
A look of pure, unadulterated horror passed over X23's face, "You're kidding!"
"Uh, no I'm not." Logan said as he turned out the light and stood up.
When he got to the door way he turned around and looked her dead in the eye, "I'll be in the next room. Come get me if you need something. Oh and no prowling the halls at night, no terrorizing anyone, no attacking anyone and no leaving the grounds without chaperone. Fury's probably not too far off. He doesn't give up that easy."
X23 started to snarl.
"I mean it!" growled Logan.
"Fine," grumbled X23.
"And put those away inside!"
Reluctantly X23 retracted her claws and leaned back into the pillow.
Logan shut the door and began to walk down the hall back to his own room-he froze mid stride.
"Did I really just say 'And put those away inside!'?!" he thought to himself recounting the many times he had done some 'late night redecorating' with his own claws.
He gave and exasperated sigh and thought, "Parenting sucks!"

Pyro was laughing so hard tears were streaming down his face. As I'm sure you deduced, Kurt had just finished his tale of woe involving him and Amanda.
Gambit sighed and covered his eyes with his hand, "Dis gonna take a lot a work, home. Go get a pen and paper, dis gonna take all o' Remy's expertise!"
"Mate, I'm glad I'm not you," Py barely managed between sobs.
"Tanks Johnny, yo faith in Remy be really reassuring," said Gambit sarcastically.
"Right back," said Kurt popping up to his room for the appropriate supplies.
BAMF!
"Dis gonna take a month o' Sundays," groaned Remy as he sank into his pillow.
