Two Friends II

Chapter 4

A/N Hey Otak The Canadian here apologizingfor the long wait between chapters of this fic,but I had a wicked case of writers block and a bunch of other evil stuff happening in my life but it's mostly all sorted out now so I'm taking some kind peoples advice and just jumping in by writeing this chapter on the fly and also starting a new story soon. On another note thank you to all the people who reviewed there will be personal thank you for y'all at the end of this story. Ona side note I can't believe more people thought it was strange that I paired up Rogue and Toad (Togue ?)than the fact that I made Blob and Pietro a couple!Ah well; on with the fic!

It was Friday at the Xavier Institute for Gifted Children and as usual that meant one thing to the young mutants who call this beautiful school in the woods of upstate New York home : Scatter! Before Logan has a chance to catch them for one of his "surprise" training sessions which always seemed to happen when they had plans. Needless to say because of their gifts Kurt and Kitty were the undisputed champions of this impromptu game but were also the least experienced at it. Kurt genuinely enjoyed the chance to work out all the kinks from a day spent hideing behind a holo image with his tail literally tucked between his legs and with Kitty watching it gave him an opportunity to show-off just why he was the star of the Munich circus. Kitty loved going, not for the physical side so much (although she was very good at the Martial Arts with only Kurt and Jamie able to give her a decent sparring match) but because she was always asked to program the new scenarios into Cerebro and she loved seeing how challenged and pleased the others were by them.So Logan was a little pissed that both of them had disappeared on him. So he went looking for them.

" Scooter, you seen Half-pint or the Squirrel around?" Logan asked in his usual guteral way

" No sir, but there's something about them I want to talk to you about . . ." Scott asked a little hesitantly still not comfortable with being a co-instructor with Logan and the others.

"If it's about them being an item now and not letting it affect them while on missions I already know and gave them that little speech,bub"LOgan said turning to leave the library and go think up an appropriate punishment for the duo.

"What? An Item ? But I thought they were all depresed after their break-ups!" exclaimed a shocked Scott.

"You thought- when they're really- Ha HA HA hoo boy! You have got to pay more attention to people!" Logan managed to get out between gales of laughter.

"Well how do you knowwhat's going on btween them?" Scott asked a little petulantly now that he knew he was so far off base.

Logan thought back to the previous Wednesday night as he spoke to Scott. He was just back from New York city after takeing care of some business; namely placeing X-23 with some friends of his: the Parkers. He knew Pete's aunt would be the perfect person to help the girl after dealing with Peter being Spider-Man all these years But that's for another time.Needing a little time to think about what he was going to do with his "daughter" he headed out into the woods. To Wolverines surprise he heard someone else outside.

"Katzchen that's not fair! You should finish what you start." said Kurt with longing in his soft accent.

"But it's more fun to do it slowly and see how long you can make it last!" replied Kitty in a teasing voice "You don't want it to be over too soon!"

Logan had had enough! He covered his eyes and stepped into the clearing.

"All right you two stop what you're doing and explain-is that Ice cream I smell!" he shouted in the teens general direction his voice fadeing at the end.He opened his eyes rather sheepishlyto take in the scene before him.There the kids sat on a checkered blanket surrrounded by the remains of a picnic supper.Kurt had an empty bowl beside him while Kitty had what looked like half of a banana split in her hands.

"Umm having a picnic with a side of heart attack from people scareing us!" Kitty said angrily before she could stop herself. First they had to hide from the New Mutants playing tag on the back lawn and then Hank came down to the boat house necessitateing a change from the lake shore and after that ; her thoughts trailed off as she saw Logan sniffing the air experimentally. "what are you doing?" she asked

"How long you two been together Elf?" Logan asked looking at Kurt dangerously as his eyes narrowed.

"Just since Monday but how did you know ?" Kurt asked while stepping protectively in front of Kitty; just in case.

"Good thing you didn't lie bub or we'd be having words and as for how I know you just told me Squirrel!" Logan said unable to keep the smile from his face; "'Bout damn time if ya ask me."

"Was ist das?" Kurt asked so shocked that he didn't have six new places to breathe from Wolverine protecting his "Half-Pint" that he forgot to speak English for a minute.

"Look kids, despite the reputation I really don't mind what you kids are up to in your private lives that's why Chuck had locks put on all your doors and you're definitely better than Alvers and if you do anything to hurt her I know where you live." he said only half jokeingly; "now lets talk about how this might affect you on missions?" with a sigh they settled in for a lecture.

Logan smiled as the memory of the look on Kurt's face drew him out of his funk as he realized if he was a teenager with a new relationship he'd be avoiding him too and besides the jet hadn't been detailed in a while anyway, he hardly even saw Scott leave with a confused look on his face.
