La-ti-da! I'm back! Here's another chapter! This has some Japanese in it, but I put translations in italics. Pweese tell me what you think, IN DETAIL! I love all yinz that review and call me GOD! Well, I can't think of anything else to write for an authors note so here ya go!

Yuriko stirred slightly. Her head ached and it felt like she had the worse hangover in the Guinness Book of World Records. When she opened her eyes and squinted against the white light that had to be from a lab or hospital.

"Bright eh? I thought so too. After being knocked out a person really doesn't want a light in their face, right?"

It was the mutant that she fought before. Now he was staring intently at her. She realized that this was not the base and Stryker and Dagger was not there. She was free, for now. She barely remembered him, just the feeling of hot metal coursing through her as she regained control. He did look familiar, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

"Um, I guess this will sound a bit strange, but, um, do you know me?"

She looked at him oddly. Did she remember him? Did she remember the guy that almost beat and killed her? Who wouldn't? Anyways, he was kind of hot.

"Uh, you do speak English don't you?"

Yes, of course she did, but just for fun she thought that it would be fun to see what he would do next. Besides, what if this was somewhat of a test by Dagger to see if she would tell anything. She waited till she was sure it was okay to talk.

"Umm. Japanese right? Let's see…I'm supposed to know this. That's what this file says," he said more to himself than to her.

"O namae wa?" she asked in her native language. What is your name?

"Logan desu," he said without realizing that he had understood her Japanese. He still didn't look up from the file. She thought that she'd start off with a simple conversation. He talked so nicely and she hadn't had a conversation in awhile in her native language, let alone any language.

"Nan desu ka?" What are you doing?

"Nani? Mo ichi do?" What? Say again

"Watashi no nohongo wa wakarimasu ka?" Can you understand my Japanese?

"Hai. Ni hon go to eiga wo hanase masu. Eigo wo hanashi masu ka?" Yes. I can speak Japanese and English. Can you speak English?

"Hai. Eiga sukoshi hanase masu." Yes, I can speak a little English.

"Oh. Good."

"Logan san, onegai shite mo iidesu ka?" May I ask a favor of you?

"Ee." Sure.

"Where am I?"

He stared at her. She didn't just speak a little English. She spoke it perfectly. He was very impressed. She had a beautiful voice. Wait, they had just communicated, in Japanese! He realized that he was staring while she waited patiently for an answer.

"Oh, um, New York. You're safe now. Dagger's not here. He's dead. You'll be fine."

"Arigato." Thank you.

He grinned and nodded. She tried to see what was in the folder, but her sides ached too much and her head hurt.

"What is that?"

"Just some information I got from the base."

"Who's it about?"

"Me."

"Oh. Can I help?"

She wanted to help him. Well, she wanted him to stay with her and not leave just because she was awake. It was obvious that he was just here to watch her till she woke up or the doctor came in. In her mind she prayed that he wouldn't leave. Something about him made her feel safe.

"I don't think so. It's about who I was a long time ago."

"I stayed at the base for many years. Tell me your last name. Maybe I can remember something."

Scott didn't know what to tell his fiancé. He wanted to tell her everything but he was scared to. He felt it was his fault, even though it wasn't. He should have protected her.

"Jean, Dagger had this drug that, well, showed a person their deepest fears. I saw when I first got my ability and when I lost you."

"It gives you flashbacks? Oh Scott, I'm sorry." She pulled him close and hugged him.

"Logan got the same thing too. I don't have any idea what he saw or how he reacted. I should have told you before, but I couldn't. Everything was happening so fast and-"

"It's alright. Nothing's going to happen."

"It seems so real."

"But it's not. Scott, you're a good person. It wasn't your fault. Look at everything you've done today. You saved everyone. You're a good man. I love you."

Scott smiled. He leaned down and kissed Jean.

"I love you too. Thank you."

"I meant it."

"Be sure that nothing happens with Logan. I'm afraid to think of what he saw."

"It's so cute to see you worrying about him. Don't tell me you're softening up to him," she teased.

"No. You know that the world would end if that happened," he chuckled.

"Oh yes. Of course it would."

"Don't tell him about this okay?"

"Sure," she said and he walked over to go inside the school. She thought that maybe she should tell him about what Logan did after he had received the drug, but thought better of it. It was adorable that both of them were so much alike and pretended to be so different.

REVIEW PLEASE!
