Wen1: Lol, I totally agree.
Diaz F: Logan is 'a big teddy bear of a man' on the inside, if you ask me.
Amazing redd phoenix: Ya, I like Scott and Logan when they're being all father-and-son-like. It's different in the comics, of course, but with evo it's so sweet!
Chapter 8
Logan strolled into the infirmary and stopped dead-in-his-tracks. He smiled slightly at the scene before him. Jean was sitting in her chair and leaning over to meet Scott's lips in a passionate kiss. Jean's eyes were closed – and so were Scott's, Logan being able to tell by the lack of shine in his glasses. Scott had his arms around her shoulders and he lifted his right hand in a wave as Logan came into the room. Even now that he was so badly hurt, Scott could hear him. Logan was absolutely astonished.
Scott and Jean parted. That was when Jean noticed Logan for the first time and her cheeks flushed a deeper red then her hair. "Oh, uh, hi Logan. What are you doing here?"
Logan motioned to the plate full of food in his hand. "Bringing Scott his breakfast." He handed it to Scott who placed it on the table next to his bed. "You better eat that – or I'll stuff it down your throat," Logan threatened him.
"Whoa, I'm just not hungry right now – I'll eat it eventually." Scott gulped exaggeratingly in a mocking way.
"Don't make us put you on the tube again," Logan warned him once again, referring to an IV.
"I won't, I won't." He grimaced as pain shot through him. Jean took his hand and he squeezed it reassuringly.
Logan may I have a word with you please? the professor's voice filled his mind.
Sure thing Chuck with a silent gesture to Scott and Jean, Logan left the infirmary.

"What's up?" Logan walked into Xavier's office wondering what on Earth the telepath could want to talk about that he couldn't discuss quickly in their minds.
"It looks like Scott won't be leading the X-men anymore…" Xavier began depressed.
"What do you mean? Why not? 'e'll make it through this professor – Scott's not one to just lay down and…"
"It's not that Logan, it's obvious that Scott can't handle leading while he's dating Jean. I could get them to break up but he'll never stop loving her…"
Logan nearly went in to hysterics as he interrupted once more, "Scott didn't take the 'it because 'e loved 'er! Well, not just because of that! 'e'd have taken the 'it for anyone! 'e's done it for me before!"
Xavier slowly digested Logan's words. "What do you mean he took a hit for you?"
"I guess you don't remember – 'e was only 14 then – if you want you can…" without another word Logan lowered his head and tried to relax as Xavier entered his mind.
