Can't Stay

I turned around and started to help Mystique up.

"Marie…" growled Logan, but I just glared at him.

"What the frell are you doing?" he asked, trying to stay calm.

"Helping someone who, if you remember, was minding her own business when you threw her across the room. Now are you going to help or not?" I said putting my hands on my hips.

"I vote not."

"Fine," I growled at him.

Never less, Mystique was out of my arms and in a chair before I could blink.

"Thought you didn't want to help," I smirked.

"Yeah, well, your better off without her powers." I must have looked confused because he sighed and pointed.

"No gloves."

"Oh yeah well, I don't really need them anymore," I said sheepishly. Logan whipped around and looked at me.

" I also have super strength and can fly, which you already knew. I also have super fast healing, heightened senses, and um, bone claws. Now I would like to introduce you to my biological mother who I just recently met and would like to explain some stuff," I said turning to Mystique.

Logan looked from me to Mystique, then back to me with a raised eyebrow. His shock seemed to be subsiding. Dumping that on him was a bad idea, but I just had to tell him, I could never not tell him something.

"So what are you doing here Marie?" asked Logan. My mouth went dry, and he could tell if I was lying.

"This and that. Mostly that, and looking for you," I said trying to sound casual. It wasn't working. Logan opened his mouth when Mystique cleared her throat. Logan glared at her, as did I. She may be my mom, but she had tried to kill me. My shock was wearing off and I just couldn't let her in any more than I already had.

"Logan, before you say anything, Mystique didn't know I was her daughter. She was forced to put me up for adoption, and then Magneto wiped out her memory."

"And you believe that crap. And if her memory was wiped out, then how does she know you're her daughter?"

"I triggered the lock. She just recently put the pieces together. She was going to travel the country, and when I leave with you…"

"No. You are going back to the mansion now. It's safer there kid." Whether it was the kid comment or the thought of going back that made me see red I don't know.

"I'm not going back. I'll travel, or live someplace else, but I will go back when I want to and not any time else." I am just as stubborn as Logan, and he knows that which is why he just sighed.

"Ok, you can come to my cabin for the winter. Ok?"

"Yes! That is excellent. Oh yeah," I turned to Mystique, "you said you needed my help. With what?" Mystique glanced at Logan before answering.

"It's about Magneto. He has a new headquarters, but the x-men came and destroyed it a little while after I left. He thinks I betrayed him to Xavier. I told him I was in debt to him, but he wouldn't listen. I know where he is hiding now, and he is looking for me. Eric's future plans have been delayed by looking for me."

"What do you want us to do about it?" asked Logan. I smiled gratefully at him for saying us.

"I was hoping you could help me hide. I want you to believe that I wasn't always a bad guy."

"He's not big on the whole forgiving for trying to kill me thing," I said.

"You said the Brotherhood was following you, right?" asked Logan.

"Yes." said Mystique nervously.

"You should get going to find a hiding spot," I said stopping anything Logan had planned to say. I wanted this night to end, and quickly.

"Yes, I'll contact you…"

"No, that's ok. I can't really forgive you. Plus, you need to rebuild a life by yourself. I need to stay here," I finished looking at Logan.

Mystique got up to leave, as did Logan and I.

"I'll take care of her," said Logan. I just nodded as she headed for the door.

"Wait, how far is the Brotherhood behind you?" asked Logan. Mystique stopped in the door, but didn't turn around.

"Sorry, but I was in his debt. I have to go now," Mystique said, her voice going cold like when she was on the Statue of Liberty. With that she ran out the door.

"Wonder what she meant by that." The words were barely out of my mouth when my senses went haywire.

"I means my dear, that you were just stalled for means of ransom," said Magneto coming up behind us. Logan roared and lunged at him. He was stopped in mid-air, claws extended.

"Now, now Logan, no need for violence," tsked Magneto, bending his claws. I turned around slowly, and looked at Magneto.

(This has to end now.) I thought. With that in mind, I sprangat Magneto.

A/N: Yes, I used words from Farscape. Fun, huh. Well tell me what you think!
