Cat2fat900- LOL. Maybe I should revise that with those dreaded words. Hmm. LOL. Makes things easy for me, well maybe not with the squirrels, but I could always kill Scott. LOL. No, just joking, really. Thanks, glad you liked it. ;-)

Enchantedlight- Glad you liked it. :-)

X-MEN?

Suddenly there was a knock at the door, and Marie sat up startled. She looked to Logan questioningly, but he motioned for her to stay put as he went to find out who was at the door. They were both a little bit shocked to find out who was on the other side of the door. Standing in front of Logan was Scott, Jean, Storm and Bobby. Marie's heart quickened and she turned her gaze towards the fireplace, before she stood up and headed straight for her room, choosing not to acknowledge their presence. Logan's eyes narrowed at the sight before him.

"What do you want?" he growled at them. Jean took a step forward.

"We are just here to talk Logan."

"None of you are welcome here."

"Just here us out, then we will leave." Storm insisted. Not willing to let them into Marie's home, a home she ran to in order to get away from them. He stepped outside shutting the door behind him.

"So, talk." he commanded.

"No, Logan, we need to speak with Rogue too." Scott chimed in. Logan just stood there leaning against the door frame and pulled out a cigar.

"Not one of you are getting inside of this house. She doesn't want anything to do with ya. If you have something to say to me say it, otherwise go back home." But then all of a sudden, Marie opened the door behind Logan and stood there with a blank look waiting for them to say what it is they came to say.

"We need your help." Scott said blatantly.

"Really Scott, didn't know ya cared so much just ta come all the way up here and say hi." Rogue drawled out sarcastically.

"Look, we need you back on the team, if not for just this one mission." he pleaded with her.

"Oh, just one. Gee, and what's there left for meh ta think that Ah would beh worth such an honor." Logan put his arm around her, noticing how tense she was getting.

"Rogue this is serious." Bobby decided to speak up.

"Serious, what do ya know 'bout bein' serious Bobby Drake?" she growled out at him through gritted teeth.

"Plenty now. There's a mutant we can't get information out of, and he's holding some of the students hostage." Marie was in no mood to deal with these people and stormed back in the house slamming the door behind her. Logan winced at the pain in his sensitive ears, and then turned back to the team before him. Jean sighed and handed Logan a communicator.

"If she changes her mind, you can reach us with this." He nodded and headed back inside to meet Marie.
