Disclaimer: I don't own the X men unfortunately but I do own Rune and some
other people.
A/N: Okay I know this one was slow coming but I have slight writers block
or to be more accurate I can't concentrate. Oh well here it is. Thanks to
all the reviewers, keep them coming.

Rune's rooms were almost identical to her previous ones. Dumping her bag on
the bed she opened the closet and began putting clothes away. Logan sat on
her bed with his back to the wall and feet on the bed, watching her
"So did you telekinetic abilities flare up?" Logan asked quietly, his dark
eyes following her.
"Nope I took up yoga and stuff like that and plus I practised so it was
okay" Rune placed her underwear in the closet and turned to face him.
"So what have you been up to while I was gone?" Rune sat kneeling on the
edge of the bed, hands folded in front of her
"Nothing much, stole Scott's bike a couple of times, got into some fights
at a couple of bars and taught Rogue how to hot wire a car" Rune rose an
eyebrow at the last thing.
"I missed you" Logan said quietly. Rune looked up at him and smiled
"I know"
"Why did you come back?" the question took Rune by surprise then again she
understood his need to know.
"I had to get away" she looked up and then at her folded hands "Is Rogue
still having nightmares?"
"No why do you ask?"
"Just wondering?" the room fell silent "Are you going to tell me why you
left?"
"Are you going to tell me why you didn't want anything to do with Hack?"
Rune looked up at him her eyes hard with anger.
"No" Logan answered.
"Then no to your question as well" Rune answered curtly and inspected her
fingernails. She felt Logan move on the bed and then felt his lips against
her forehead. She closed her eyes, savouring the light touch before
wrapping her arms around his neck. His lips kissed her nose just as lightly
before capturing her mouth. Rune swallowed, shaking slightly, she had
definitely missed this. They broke apart and leaning back onto the bed,
Rune nuzzled into Logan's chest feeling more secure than she had in months.
Listening to his heartbeat she felt his breathing slow. Rune poked him and
he growled slightly muttering something about wanting to sleep.
"You can't sleep now I want to show you something" grabbing his hand she
pulled him off the bed and led him out of the room.

Rune ran over to her bike and swung a leg over, sitting quite easily in it,
as Logan looked it over.
"Not Scott's Harley" Rune began "but a very good buy and I installed a
nitro fuel injection" Logan raised an eyebrow and Rune shrugged as she put
on her helmet. She waited for Logan to slip in behind her before kick
starting it. With a bit of squealing from her tyres and some smoke Rune
speed off downs the driveway.

A young girl gasped as she felt it. An innocence in the mere thrill of a
certain situation made tears, spring to the girl's eyes. Then she felt
another presence. It couldn't be! No it wasn't possible. The girl gave a
sharp cry and put her head in her hands as a feeling of revenge washed over
her.
"No!" she screamed and fell into a sobbing heap.
*
Rune gasped as she felt some slam into her mind. Swerving violently, she
barely felt Logan grip tighten. Straightening she flicked off the ignition
and quickly got off, pulling at her helmet. Finally she got it off and she
flung it away almost hitting Logan. Stumbling down the hill she sat down in
pine needles, gasping for air while she held her head in her hands.
"Rune?" Logan ran over to her.
"I felt something Logan" her eyes flickered from spot to spot on the ground
"I...I...can't explain, I felt something in my head" Rune looked up at Logan,
fear written clearly across her face. Logan frowned.
"Are you going to be okay?" he asked softly. Rune looked at her hands
before gripping them to stop them shaking.
"Yeah, I...I... just tired I guess" Rune replied. Logan grunted obviously not
convinced.
"Come on" he took her hand "I'll drive us back" Rune let herself be pulled
back to the bike. Carefully Logan put her helmet on as she stared at the
ground.
"Rune" Logan shook her shoulders. She looked at him, her stare vacant,
suddenly she snapped out of her revere.
"I'll be fine just get me home" Rune replied without confidence she usually
displayed. They both got on the bike and drove away. Yet neither of them
saw the young girl watching from one the trees above. The girl smiled. And
now too follow them.
