Title: I'm Not Your Father

Summary:- A short conversation that could take place during X3, LM one-shot I don't think there are any spoilers.

Disclaimer- Nothing of the X-men belong to me. Any quotes or near quotes from X-Men 3 are accidental other than the one in italics.

A/N: I took a line I saw in the X3 trailer on monday night and formed a conversation from it although I'm pretty sure they were talking about the cure.


Hey, I'm not your father. If you want to go, be sure it's what you want.

"Hey kid!" Logan shouted to get her attention. She turned around and walked up to him.

"Yah?" She asked with her southern accent. It always seemed to be stronger when she was around him.

"You had something to tell me." He said rubbing his temples. It was obvious he'd been having a rough time. He looked tired, his hair was a bit of a mess, and he was dressed more casually then she'd even seen him.

"Oh." Rogue said looking shy all of a sudden. She knew what she was going to tell him wasn't going to let him sleep better at night. "Ah, Ah've decided to join in, meh and Bobby." Logan stayed silent for a moment unsure of what to do.

"Join as in be part of the team?" He checked. "As in go out and fight?"

"Yes." She nodded. "Ah want to help." He looked away not sure what to say to that. "You're okay with it?"

"Hey, I'm not your father. If you want to go, be sure it's what you want." He told her shaking his head slightly. "Just know that this is a war and it's going to be tough."

"Ah know that." She said sternly. "Ah want to fight for this."

"I promised to take care of you and I don't plan on breaking that but if we're at war, I can't always have your back."

"Ah don't expect you to."

"Well then I can't stop you."

"Ah'll be alright Logan." She tried to reassure him. Without saying it, they both knew that he'd be loosing sleep worrying about her even if she was in the room next to him. "Don't worry about meh." She took a few steps closer to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. Careful not to touch her skin, he welcomed and returned her hug.

"I don't want to loose you Marie." He whispered taking in her scent. He gave her a quick squeeze then kissed the top of her head before pulling back.

"You won't sugah." She smiled at him. "Ah'll see yah later." She said turning to leave.

Logan stood there and watched her start to walk away. He really didn't want to loose her. He never wanted to admit it but he did love that girl with all his heart. He was so deep in his thoughts that he barely noticed her turn back around.

"Ah know you're not mah father, Logan. You're mah best friend and Ah love you." Those few words made him smile even if he was still shaking inside.


I told you it was short. Like I said, I think that line was more refering to Rogue taking the cure but I twisted it a little. This was my first X-Men fic so plz take it easy with reveiws. Tell me if I should write more of them or not too.
