Things to Remember
by Dizi

Hi! My name's Jenny. You probably heard about me from Harry's. Don't worry, I'll be back.

But for now I'm working in this big mansion taking care of mutant super-heros who thanklessly save the world regularly. Which is pretty cool most of the time. I've pretty much gotten them to pick up after themselves. At least, when I walk in the room they do.

I have no idea what they'll do when I leave. Probably spontaneously combust. By then, it won't be my problem.

Now, I didn't go in blind. There were certain things I was warned about. Don't bother Logan before his coffee, don't touch Rogue's bare-skin, never mess with Scott's glasses, Bobby's totally immature - which isn't completely true but he acts like it - never ever eat the last Twinkie, and don't touch anything in the lab because you don't know where it's been or what it might do. Big no-no. I don't think even Hank's sure what all that stuff does. I didn't have to worry about the Twinkies.

But there was a whole lot of things that got left out. Like don't mention Remy's name to Rogue unless you know whether they're together that day or not. Stuff like that.

Things that are important but Scott and Charles didn't think to mention. Probably because they're men. Well, mostly. Some was because they thought I knew and others they just didn't think about.

There's lots of stuff like that. One of the women would have warned me right away about some. They didn't think to say anything because Scott and Charles told them they had talked to me. Which they did, like I said.

What's scary is how many of these things revolve around Logan. Why is it always about Logan?

Now, Logan is pretty cool. He's got this bad attitude thing going as a kind of camouflage for a soft heart. Most of the time anyway. He can also be the biggest jerk alive. Logan knows pretty much all there is to know about me and has been there when I really needed someone. We started off a little rocky but he's the most solid person I know.

He also has a pretty warped sense of humor. Laughs at the strangest things. Well, it seemed like it to me anyway. Now I can kinda understand. Well, a little.

You see, I had a 'traumatic experience'. Then I had what I would describe as a break-down. Totally lost it. Hank says it was shock, but he's my buddy so I'm not sure I can trust his judgement on that. I think I already told you about it.

I'm still mad at Bobby. That'll last a long while.

Logan was different though, it's not like it was really his fault. He handled it well, but I didn't. After the little incident, he sat me down and told me all about himself. Well, his mutant abilities. I don't need the details of his life, I have enough problems dealing with my own.

First you have to realize that I think of Bishop, Remy and Logan as my brotherly trio. Didn't used to, they were just regular customers, but things changed. Now Bishop is my brick wall, Remy is my shoulder to cry on, and Logan's the person to get things done. He's the person you go to, or at least I do, when there's a problem. A major one because I like to handle the little ones myself. No matter what he says.

Individually they're great. Together they're the big brothers from hell.

This big brother has super-powered senses. Most embarrassingly a sense of smell. As in smells me. As in knows intensely personal things. Personal things no big brother should know. He knows when someone's, uh, let's say womanly. Oh god.

I was so embarrassed.

This means he knows something else about me that no one else does. Something intensely personal. I haven't told anyone. Ever. And he knows.

It's not that I'm ashamed, not really. It's just very personal and hurts me deeply.

I didn't have to tell him. He didn't say it out loud. We both know what his nose is telling him.

One thing about Logan is that he's never pitied me. After all he knows about me and all that's happened in my life, he never has. He's gotten way overprotective at times, but he's never crossed the line into pity. That I know of. Now, I know he's known everything. All along. Or for awhile. I'm not sure whether or not I'm happy about it, but if someone had to know I'm glad it's him.

These super-senses also give him better hearing, which means he knows when I'm having a nightmare because my room's across the hall from his. That's just a little embarrassing, but me having nightmares is to be expected.

He also explained that his skeleton is covered in some funny named indestructible metal. Now, this was interesting as it explained why my butt hurt for a week when he pinched it during our first meeting at Harry's. It also explains the nasty sound that I heard during the traumatic experience, which I really don't like to think about. Damn, now that sound is running through my head.

Moving on. Logan again told me about this 'healing factor'. It seems to have the potential to make him pretty much immortal. Which is down right scary. Together with that metal skeleton, he's pretty much unstoppable. Brings him to a whole new level when talking about the big brother from hell.

It took me a little while to assimilate it all. It left me just a bit distracted. That's the only excuse I have. I came up with a horrible thought. A thought really personal to him.

I was sitting in the parlor with Jean and Ororo. We were supposed to be talking, but like I said I was distracted and not really paying attention to what they were saying. Then a word jumped out at me and inspired the horrible thought. It was 'potent'.

Something must have shown on my face because Ororo asked me what was wrong.

I choked down the actual answer and asked her to repeat what she'd said.

Ororo replied. "I said Remy's cologne was potent and overwhelming."

Jumping to my feet, I said "I have to see Logan." They had to be confused by my actions but there was no way I was explaining to them.

Logan was in the garage and just about to leave for the night. I'm not sure where he was going. I know it wasn't Harry's because he would have invited me along. I still work there part-time.

"Can I ask you something? I'll understand if you don't want to tell me, but it's in my head and I just have to know." I rushed the words out. It was a personal question and not something I'd usually ask someone.

"Is this 'bout our talk earlier?" he asked.

Nodding, I blushed. I couldn't help it.

"Sure ya can ask. I don't mind. Ain't nothin' ya can think of that somebody else hasn't."

Well, that was a relief. I almost didn't ask at that point.

"It's okay, ask yer question."

"Well, it's kinda personal. You said you heal anything and it just hit me out of the blue." Finally I just blurted it out. "Do you practice safe sex?"

"What?" From his reaction, maybe that wasn't the best way to ask.

"Safe sex. Do you use a condom?" You have to realize now, I've seen him at the bar and I know how he is. He's more active than Remy could hope to be.

"Uh..." He didn't answer right away.

"What if your little soldiers heal everything too? What if they're little super-soldiers? If you don't use a condom they might get past other forms of birth control." I explained again talking in a rush. "So do you?"

He stared at me in horror for a moment and then started running back inside the mansion.

Following as fast as I could, I called after him. "Where are you going?"

He was way ahead of me by then and I barely heard him. "Goin' ta see Hank. No one's ever asked me that before."

Neither Logan or Hank ever explained. It's probably best I not know. Hank did a whole lot of experiments for about a week though. Got a bonus out of it in my pay.

I bet if Logan didn't use a condom before, he does now. Puts that healing factor thing in a new light, doesn't it?

Just one of those things no one thought to mention.

Bet they remember in the future.

note:
Elizabeth Robbins- Isn't she fun?For some reason she just talks to me. (Is that a bad thing?)
(...)- Thanks! Here ya go!
GothikStrawberry- Watch for the next one, deals with Rogue.
Sabeybaby- I'm glad you found it so funny! I laughed the whole time I was typing.
Jinxeh- Can you blame her? Unfortunately she's too nice to think of anything REALLY mean to do to him. Or to actually do it anyway. Oh, and I wouldn't worry about the kidney, Hank would never mistreat a specimen.

Okay, so she didn't mean to get back at him, it just worked out that way. Got another pov coming as Jenny does the dating thing. Oh, the 'intensely personal and hurts deeply' thing? Well, if you can't figure it out you'llhave to wait for the sequel.

Thanks for reading and the support,
