TRUTH
While Anna was taking her nap, Logan went to talk to Rogue. He found her just sitting there next to the bed watching her daughter. She knew he was there but waited to watch her little Anna take one more breath and then turned to face him giving him an emotionless expression. Rogue stood up and walked outside asking for Kurt to watch over her. The two walked in silence when she finally asked him, "What'cha want?" He looked at her, searching her eyes for any resemblance of hope.
"You." she laughed bitterly and shook her head.
"Ya so full of it." she took a few steps ahead of him.
"What happen ta Jean sugah?" he looked away from her.
"I told her." he mumbled.
"About Scott?" he nodded.
"And she left ya lookin' for him?" he grunted a reply.
"And ya know whay?" finally he looked up into her eyes, but did not answer.
"She did not love ya. It was Scott all 'long. Always would beh, but ya nevah wanted ta fully believe it. Ah saw her, 'fore we got up here." she paused.
"She nevah made it ta Scott. She's dead Logan." He looked as if his life had shattered before his eyes. She had never seen him look like this before, and her heart went out to him.
"She didn't love ya, just lahke ya really didn't love meh, and Ah have come ta terms with that. Ah have moved on. There is somebody out there for ya, but it ain't Jean and it sure as hell ain't meh." she told him quietly. He looked away again.
"I know I messed up. I hurt you and I'm sorry. When I was with her I always ended up thinking back about you. About what could have been." she smiled at him gently.
"Could have, but won't now. This maybeh ya place now, but it ain't mine."
"So you're going to leave again?" she nodded.
"But where are you going ta go?"
"Ah don't know. But there has ta be some place safe for our daughter, an' Ah intend ta fahnd it."
"What happened?" he asked breaking the silence.
"Ta tell the truth, Ah'm not totally sure. Jean had somethin' in her, protectin' her, but it went out'ta control." he looked over her curiously.
"So you killed her?" Rogue was shocked at this and stepped back.
"No! Ah couldn't. Ah, Ah just took it from her. Ah didn't know what, Ah didn't understand. But it killed her. It found meh a lil more useful. It almost killed meh." He put a hand on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there." she pushed his hand off.
"That wasn't ya fault." he just sighed and she turned away from him.
"What is this with you and Gumbo?" Then she looked back at him quickly, giving him a dirty look.
"What's it ta ya?"
"He's dangerous." He growled out.
"So are ya!" she pointed out.
"Not the same way." she laughed bitterly.
"He makes meh happy. He cares 'bout meh. He's helped meh through a lot, since the day Ah met him." The bitterness stayed in her voice.
"Are you sure he cares? Are you sure he's not doing it to benefit himself?"
"He could'a died tryin' ta help meh, more than once. Remy kept meh alive." he stepped back, a little bit shocked. Not just at what she just said nor how she said it, but that she used his real name.
"So he told you his real name?" she smirked.
"Yeah, so." Rogue told him annoyed.
"Did you tell him yours?" she paused before she answered him.
"No." she told him bluntly.
"Were you? Are you?" But she didn't answer. He couldn't help but wonder about the cajun. He didn't open up this much to anyone, nor her, not easily. Maybe there was more to them, to her, then he knew. Those thoughts stung him, but at least she was happy. Well, not at the moment, but in general. Even with Storm, he didn't tell her very much about himself. But knowing someone's name, that was like gold today. It was information. It showed something, and who you were close to. And she was close to him.
