With a slash of the rapier in his tail, he dispatched the last of Guy of Gisbourne's men. "So shall you fall, villain!" he shouted. He was sweating terribly, but he felt much better.

The scenario ended, and Kurt was left standing in the middle of the empty Danger Room. The adrenaline was still pumping and he had to fight off the urge to set up another scenario to fight. Starring Logan as the villain.

Maybe eating instead would sublimate his rage.

He carefully cleaned his swords and put them away, then headed to the nearby showers. The warm water was wonderful, and he began singing as he scrubbed. " … restoration, wash my body clean …"

He rubbed his fur dry, still singing " … house of stone and light," as he did. He straightened his hair a little with his fingers, and wished for a comb, but Scott had taken the comb away. Again. He rolled his eyes and walked out in a clean robe. Rogue was standing outside, leaning to the left, and turned to meet him. "Hi, Kurt," she said, blushing a little.

"Sister? What are you doing here?" He wondered … how long had she been waiting?

"Do you know what the house of stone and light is, really? It's interesting. Once you know, that song makes a lot more sense. It's the western Native American term for the Grand Canyon. See, you can wash in the water because of the Colorado River. It flows right through there." She was babbling.

He broke into her chatter. "You waited here to tell me that?"

"No. No, I didn't." She turned away from him a little. "I wanted to see you. And Mystique. Kind of a family meeting."

He frowned. He had been avoiding his mother these days, trying to pick times when he knew Logan was busy elsewhere to visit her. He still wanted to get to know her better, but he felt uneasy around his friend.

"Now?" He knew Logan had no duties until at least four o'clock. He would probably be with her.

"Yeah."

He paused. "Rogue? How are you handling … him?"

She stared at him. "Remy's fine. What do I need to handle him for?"

"No, no. I meant Logan."

She took his hand. "Walk with me."

"I need clothes."

"I know." She looked at him, amused. "Though if Kitty were invited, I might just leave you as you are."

"Rogue!" He glared at her.

"What? You know she likes you." Rogue winked.

He sighed. "How are you dealing with it, though? I find it infuriating. Strange."

She snorted. "Well, Remy just laughs. He says if anyone does, Mystique deserves him."

He was surprised into a brief laugh, himself. "That does sound like Remy."

"As for me, I don't know. It's kinda weird. I know Logan, and I know he's a good man. I've known Mama far too long to think what y'all think about her. I know she's done some bad things, but she can be very good, too. Them together still kinda freaks me. I guess I just let it slide because I don't want to lose either of them." She dropped his hand. "Go get dressed. I'll meet ya in her room."

He went to his room and got into a spare uniform, thinking. She had not said why she was calling this family meeting. What could it be about? He had been too distracted to concentrate on that, instead focussing on his main worry about Wolverine. He hoped his sister was okay.
