Chapter XIV

Logan the Softy

Jean and I entered the kitchen. There were pizza boxes and Chinese food cartons everywhere.

What is with these people? It's like all they eat is pizza and Chinese.

"It must be a mutant thing," Jean said reading my mind and diving into a box of pizza. "Help yourself."

Didn't we already have a talk about this?

''Oh, shut up and eat,'' Jean's voice swirled around inside my head.

I ate 4 pieces of meat lover's pizza and half a carton of chicken fried rice. Jean was right, I was starving.

"So, the Professor has never been able to find Magneto?" I asked, now completely stuffed.

"He's been trying for years, but he hasn't found him yet," Jean answered, picking up another piece of extra cheesy pizza, her third.

Oh, that's just great, he's never gonna find him.

Jean set me straight on what really happened in the Danger Room. She told me that Mystique was really the one hurting me, not Logan.

Oops. I was so mean to him. Damn, this means that I have to apologize to him. And I really have to apologize for that whole 'Jean thing.'

"What 'Jean thing'?" Jean asked, looking at me with her piercing green eyes.

I picked up a piece of pizza and shoved it into my mouth.

"Uh...nothing...it's...it was nothing," I said in between bits.

"Yeah right," she said sarcastically.

"So, where is Logan anyway?" I asked, finishing off the piece of pizza.

"He's training in the Danger Room," Jean said, looking at me. "Do you want to go talk to him?"

I nodded.

We walked through the subbasement until we came to the Danger Room door. We went in and Jean turned off the program.

"HEY! What the HELL do ya think ya doin'!" Logan yelled up at the sky box where we were.

Jean called to Logan over the loud speaker. "Logan, it's Jean," Jean said into the intercom. "You have a visitor. Can you come up here, please?"

"Grrr!" Logan growled.

The elevator door opened and Logan walked into the control center.

"Logan, Jen whats to talk to you," Jean said, moving towards the door. "Well, I'll just leave you two alone for a while."

"Jean, no...," Logan started, but she had already left.

We stood there in a very uncomfortable silence for a while.

"Look...I'm really sorry for the way I've been treating you," I said, looking at the wall behind him.

"I would never hurt ya kid," he said in a soft voice.

Wow, I never knew he could sound so nice.

"Yeah, I know that now," I said, looking him square in the eye.

We stood in silence, again.

"You wanna get out of here?" Logan said, his voice becoming strong again. "Get some ice cream or something. We can take One Eyes' car," he added smiling.

Damn, he has a hot smile!

"Sure. I'd like that," I smiled back.
