Here I am, once more! I finally got Chapter 8 written, so here's Chapter 7. Thank you so much to all of my reviewers. I love you like nuts! I realize there is no Brotherhood at all in this chapter. However, I felt we should atleast know what happened when Bobby got back to the mansion, no? But the real treat is the next chapter. After Chapter 8, there's an estimated 4 chapters left. But who cares about that right now? Haha, to the story...

"Logan! Logan!"

The moment Bobby had returned to the school, he found himself skidding through the halls in search of none other than what had been Marie's best friend since he himself had met her. The one they called Wolverine. He knew inside that if anyone would know what to do, it would be him.

"Logan!" he called once more as he turned sharply around a corner. He heard a gasp as he flew through none other than Kitty, but as he shock caused her to phase, he didn't stop for apologies. Instead he still hurried to find what some may call a mentor.

"Bobby!" he heard her shriek after him—whether or not it was a protest of him ignoring her presence or wondering as to why he was running through the school, he honestly didn't care. He didn't have time for it right now. Normally Bobby was a great guy but Rogue could be in danger. He couldn't bother with trying to worry about Kitty's feelings.

Reaching the elevator with a sigh of frustration, he pressed the down button more times than necessary before the doors slid open. It almost seemed like the night when Stryker's men had invaded the Xavier Institute, watching as the doors moved at an agonizing pace.

After seemingly long minutes, the doors once more led into a hallway, but one of less wood qualities and what seemed almost like a chrome paradise. He knew very well that Wolverine would have been able to hear him from anywhere else, so the man had to be around there somewhere.

And so, he gave it one more try.

"Logan!"

His voice was hoarse now, yet a sense of triumph shot through him as he realized that it had worked. Running from a training room was none other than the beast-like man, cigar in his mouth. Bobby was under suspicion he had been hiding it from Ororo, but rather than smirking as he normally would, he shot the much older man a glare.

"What is it?" he heard Logan ask, and Bobby was suddenly jumping down his throat.

"You let her go! I know it…there's no way you would be so easy about Rogue's leaving if you hadn't."

An irritated look passed over Logan's face and he shook his head. "I don't need to answer to you. It is not up to us to decide what Marie is going to do with her life. That is for her alone to figure out. I'd expect you of all people to understand that."

"Yeah, well guess what. I don't think she took the damn cure!"

Blinking, Logan apparently hadn't caught the meaning behind what Bobby was trying to tell him. Instead he waved the issue off once more.

"And yet again, that is still up to her. What, did you want her to take it, then? For you? Is that all you want from her now, is some lowlife make out partner?"

"No, Logan, you're not getting it!" now Bobby found his voice sharpening, completely disgusted at the thought that the man before him would actually think he only saw Rogue as some sort of toy. His Marie.

"Then why don't you explain it to me?"

This time, Logan's voice was full of anger and frustration. He was well aware of the fact that Rogue had been having trouble with the whole Kitty and Bobby issue. Which meant that already Bobby wasn't on his favorite person's list. Yet now as the student stood before him, he couldn't have found disgust in him more.

"I think that Magneto's done something with her!" he shouted, not even bothering with the chance someone might hear his accusation. So what if they did? Let the whole school know that one of their own was in danger.

Logan, however, looked very skeptical at the declaration Bobby made. Did the boy know how ridiculous it sounded? Still, Logan would not put it past him. Metal Man, that is. He had taken Marie once before and would do anything for his side to come forward victorious at the end.

Yet what use would Magneto have for her this time? It seemed completely irrational to believe that he would have taken her. Especially seeing as it was happening just after Marie had gone to take the 'Cure'. For all he knew, Bobby was making this up, just so they could go on a search for her to take her back. "Oh yeah? And what makes you think that?" he asked in a calm voice, although his tone noted how serious he took the comment.

Taking a breath now, trying to gather his thoughts, Bobby delved into what had happened when he went looking for Rogue. As he finished explaining how John had acted, as if he had just given up a major secret, he noticed how Logan frowned. He knew that something wasn't right as well. John wasn't one to act rationally like that without a reason. Okay, maybe he was. But that's beside the point. He had never known the Ex-Xavier student to come up with a quip like that preplanned. It didn't make sense.

"Do you have any clue where he went?"

Shaking his head, Bobby ran his fingers through his hair. "No…I didn't even think of it. How could I be so stupid?" he threw out a hand, causing the wall to freeze over. "I was so worried, thinking what might have happened and I came to tell you. I should have followed him…atleast I would know how he got here, or where he was going. Where they had her!"

"Hey, hey!" Logan's voice raised, grabbing Bobby sharply by the shoulders. "Knock it off. You're not a kid anymore, so don't be thinking like one. If you had followed you probably wouldn't have found a way back here. By telling me, we can talk to Storm and figure something out. If they need her for something, you can be sure she'll be fine atleast until it's over. And we don't even know if they have her yet."

Suddenly Bobby's eyes shot open and he pulled out of Logan's grip, shaking his head. "Oh, they have her. You can count on it. Besides, shouldn't you be prepared to go out now?"

Glaring, Iceman shook his head. "To think I looked up to you. You swore you'd protect her—she told me. And even if you fail again, I know I won't."

Not even allowing what he had shot at the man before him process, he quickly turned on his heals, taking the elevator to the upper levels. He noticed how Logan stayed in the same spot, but rather than bothering with it, he waited for the doors to shut.

In that moment, he allowed himself to sigh in relief. How had he gotten the nerve to, not only say that, but to actually turn his back to the guy afterwards?

It didn't take him long to answer that question himself, however.

It was Rogue. It was always about her.

I know, it probably wasn't as intriguing for you all...but I felt like the emotions needed to get out. And show that when it comes down to it, Bobby still really loves Rogue above Kitty. (However, it will be Rogue/Pyro to the end, don't worry about that! Haha) R/R!
