There is always something left to love. And if you haven't learned that, you
ain't learned nothing.

Sabretooth: *snicker* Sounds like mouthwash…
Mystique: At least it's better than anything we had.
Dexroth: Especially since I don't think you use mouthwash anyway.
Mystique: WHAT?
*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Logan, or the Wolverine, paced the walk like an impatient animal.
^**^*^^*^**^*^**^^**^*
Jean: …Like his namesake?
Beck: Yeah…where are those magical muffins I got?
Ray: Muffins? WHERE?!
Beck: Cool it. No one's using you for target practice here.
^**^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
He had been waiting for a whole two minutes. As one could see, he hated to wait.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^^*^*^*^*^*^*
Rahne: A whole two minutes.
Scott: That's a long time! Do you know how many things can be done in two minutes? A counterattack, a—
Jubilee: Stupid! Now he won't shut up until he's listed them all!
Rahne: I didn't know he was in earshot!
Scott: Correct tactical mistakes, thus winning the battle for the good of human and mutantkind, --
Amara: Somebody tranq him or something!
Jubilee: With what?!
Dexroth: There's a tranq gun in the library.
Scott: Oh! And then there's the traps and—
Amara: You have a tranq gun in your home library? Why?
Dexroth: You're listening to him and you ask? Take your good fortune!
*^*^*^^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^^**^*^^**^^*
But for this, it was worth it.
^*^*^**^^*^*^*^**^^*^**^*^^*
Logan: Sez who?
Sabretooth: Who would want Mystique to be worth it? She's a witch!
Mystique: You two aren't my ideas of stellar soul mate yourselves!
Sabretooth: Yeah, you being a tadpoler and all…
Mystique: WHAT?!
Rogue: You and Toad!
Beck: I sense that you read The Son of Logan and Ororo's review.
((meanwhile))
Jean: Scott!
Todd: He's out cold yo!
Pietro: He's mumbling stuff.
Scott:…mumble…tactics…snurffle….
Fred: Wow…even in his sleep he goes on about that…
Lance: You must be so proud Jean.

Tonight was a night that something happened which didn't happen often. That was why he was so far away from the institute. His heart was here.
*^^**^^**^*^^**^*^^*^**^^**^*^
Ray:…..
Beck:???
Ray:……
Beck: Get it out of your system.
Ray: I guess that healing factor is really handy if his heart is in a different place most of the time.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*
His heart was with the one women he loved, would always love…
*^^*^**^^*^**^^**^*^^^**^
Roberto: …He lives for like a hundred years.
Sam: More.
Roberto: Why does he want to love HER for that long?
*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^
There. A noise, and a scent of wonder came to his senses. It was her.
*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^
Rogue: A scent of wonder?
Beck: …Don't judge me.
Dexroth: Ummm….
Beck: Spit it out.
Dexroth: I've got good and bad news.
Beck: Give me the bad news first.
Dexroth: I found the muffins.
Beck: Alright! So what's the good news?
Dexroth: I lied. That was it.
Beck: What?
Dexroth: George ate one.
Beck: Ah….where is he? What happened to him?
Dexroth: Uh…you don't want to know.
*^*^*^*^*^**^*^^*^**^*^^*^**^^**^*^
Mystique came out of the shadows. His goddess. The perfect angel he had come to love.
"Hello, Logan."
**^*^*^*^^*^**^*^*^*^*^^*
Wanda: Gag me. Since when does that describe Mystique?
Mystique: Quiet! You owe your life to me!
Wanda: I owe you nothing except some black eyes!
*^*^*^**^*^*^*^^*^
"Hello Raven." He kissed the beautiful blue woman. They talked in the dim light, snuggling and holding hands.
*^^*^*^**^^**^^*^^*^*^*^*^**^
Kitty: Snuggling…Riiight….
Beck: My windows are such a lovely shade of….GEORGE! GET OFF THE HOUSE! IT IS NOT A CHEWTOY! *runs outside, then runs back in* DEXROTH!!!!!!!
Dexroth: *somewhere* I told you you didn't want to know!
Beck: He's fifty feet long! AND HE'S EATING MY HOUSE!
Dexroth: Brings back memories, hunh?
Beck: Oooh…..You get Forge and tell him to get that slime back to its original size!
Dexroth: He was carried off by Whiplash this morning with Tabitha and Piotr.
Beck: Why were they even here? No, I don't want to know, just ask her to give me at least Forge back.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^^*^**^*^^*^**
When it was time to leave, they embraced and kissed again, giving to each other a promise, to remain true to each other until they met again. Their love was not needed to be said aloud.
They both already knew. Even so, it was said. In their hearts.

Sabretooth: Good thing, I don't think I could stand to read the sappiness.
Logan: Surprises me you can read bub.
Sabretooth: Wanna start something?
Beck: If you too start something in my house I will feed you to the fifty foot cookie blob. Savvy? It's not a very dignified way to end your lives. Think about it.
Sabes and Wolvie: ……..
Danny: SD gave you a potato.
Beck: It's a good thing I like potatoes.
Danny: Your windows on the other side of the house are recoloring.
Beck: Dex better get back soon. If I have to abandon my house because of cookie slime…
Doggy:…woof…..
*^^*^*^*^**^*^*^^*^**^^*^*^**^^^*^*^**^*^
Eww…cookie slime…
