A/N-Not mine, don't sue! My excuse for my lateness is posted after the chapter. So go! Get your read on!

So, its late in the afternoon, on my third day here, and I'm riled up to get the hell outta here. I've broken a good couple of the rules. Damn Logan anyway. Got me when I was weak, freakin 3:30 in the freakin morning and he sneaks into my room and throws me outta bed. See that? That was the first broken rule of the night. Don't get too comfortable that you let your guard down completely. I feel into one of the deepest sleeps I've had in the past 5 years. And of course, being woken up from a sleep like that by being thrown on the floor, my mind wasn't functioning, and my ribs were still smarting, so I let out a pained yelp. Coulda' kicked myself for that one. Second rule of the night broken. Don't let them see how bad your hurt. Now admittedly, I have a pretty good suspicion that Logan wasn't going to use that knowledge to beat the crap outta me, but, the fact that he knows I'm hurt at all gives him fuel for whatever reason he woke me up at that ungodly hour for in the first place. He pinned me to the ground and issued a challenge. Which I was stupid enough to take. "If you're well enough to get up from the ground, then I reckon you're well enough to be on your own." My response? "Fuck, Logan! Of course I can get out of your pansy ass hold!" and then I laughed at him. And then I actually tried to get out of his "pansy ass hold." Not as easy as I thought. Third broken rule of the night. Never underestimate your opponent, especially when they got something on the line. Kinda like, "never judge a book by its cover." Most times it's easy to size up a fighter by just lookin at them, but some people know this too, and use it to their advantage and pull some tricks right outta their asses to throw you off. And when people are actually fighting for something personal, instead of just fighting for the sake of fighting, then they don't pull punches. Desperate people can get right crazy if you don't watch them. And obviously, Logan was fighting for something personal. And, like I was saying, being surprised didn't help my situation…getting to see how the rules all connect? If I hadn't of gotten comfortable, I wouldn't have been able to be surprised, and let on how hurt I actually was, and if I wasn't so attached to Logan, then I woulda used objective reasoning instead of subjective reasoning in my acceptance of the challenge, and realized that I was underestimating 'im. Which is why I'm stuck here for the next month. Stupid Logan tricked me. Got me all comfortable, and forgetting the rules, and now I'm stuck here in the middle of a perfectly good Saturday afternoon listening to him explain the house rules and the general schedule. Which, I've been told I'm now a part of. Dandy. Freakin Logan.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Ha ha. I got her! I woulda surprised her the first night she was here, but I knew she was still kinda uppity and was on guard. The second night, knowing I'm here, watching out, with all the mutants in the house, I could tell she'd let down her guard a little more. Damn, I want to curse the day I ever taught her those god forsaken "Rules". Not really. She's a street learner, and those rules have kept her alive. I just wish that I'd made her come with me when I first decided to stay here. The fact that she called me for help despite how angry she was that I "deserted" her tells me exactly how much she needs a place to stay for a while. And if playin dirty is what it took to make here stay here, where I can keep an eye on her for a bit is what it takes, then damn it, that's what I'm gonna do. She wasn't too happy about it though. The look on her face when she realized she couldn't get outta my "Pansy ass hold" was priceless. So, now I've tricked her into staying for the next month. Poor girl, she's gonna hate it here, if she doesn't learn to relax.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Mon dieu, what a day. Came in from a mission yesterday, and was looking forward to doing nothing today. Maybe catch up on my poker with Monsieur Logan. Mais, that wasn't in the cards today. Went in search of Logan at around 8, when our games usually start, if either of us are interested, and where did I find him? On the back porch talking to some belle fille. Now, normally, I would have respected his privacy, and left him alone. Obviously he was looking to get lucky. Purely speculation on my part. Mais, how could I think much else? When a man is talking to a fille that belle, with that much intensity, he's usually trying to get her to agree to go to bed with him. Mais, something felt off. I dunno if it was the look on her face, or the way she kept laughing, which made her look trės belle, but, I just knew I had to introduce myself to her. Now, I don't usually feel bad about stealing another mans fille, mais, Logan is mon ami, so I actually felt slightly hesitate. I don't have enough amis here to go screwing around with the ones I do have. Mais, then she laughed again, and I knew I wouldn't be able to help it. I had to know who this fille was, and I had to convince her that Logan was no good for her, and I would make a much better option.
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
So, like I said, it's the afternoon, and Logan's showing me around, giving me the low down and what not. Can't say that I'm entirely happy about it, but, I gave my word, and damn it, that's all I really have, so I will stick by it. We were sitting on the back porch of this place, and he was trying to get me to lighten up, telling corny jokes and what not. It was going really well, at first I was giving him the silent treatment, and then finally I caved and started laughing at his stupid jokes. And that's when I felt it..a strange feeling at the back of my neck, like someone was watching us, going into total auto-pilot, I sprang up and slamed my fist straight into the persons face. Ooops. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that probably isn't the proper institute way of greeting people

A/N-Okie dokie, so first encounter. Okay, so you probably don't care, but I thought I'd give you the reasoning behind my lateness at the bottom, so if you feel like skipping, then you wouldn't have to scroll down at the top to get to the story. Anyway, I'm so sorry this came so late. Like I said, I kept putting off my homework and putting it off, until I realized that I had a week left to hand it all in, while studying for exams. Fun time that. And then after that, cuz I was so stupid, I left packing up my dorm and moving out till the absolute last minute. And then after that I had to get a job..little did I know my parents had set up a job for me back here…so as soon as I got here, this was after a 48 hour train trip, I took a shower, put on my best pretty clothes and went to an interview. They seemed to like me okay, they called me back the next day, at the ungodly hour of 6 and asked if I could be there by 8..I said okay, and then I spent the next 3 weeks going to the god damn place for "Physical Training." Now don't get me wrong, I love going to the gym as much as the next person, but when you have a person standing next to you while your running on the treadmill basically screaming at you "YOU CALL THAT RUNNING? MY GRANDMA CAN RUN FASTER THEN YOU, AND SHE HAS A BUM HIP! STRATEN UP! BEND YOUR KNEES! AND CROUCH!" well, lets just say, that I just barley managed to make it though basic training and now I'm at my job and find out that all that work was for nothing because they put me at a low security basic unit training crap, but none the less 15 mile run in the morning, 5 miles at night, and I've had no energy to do anything but eat and sleep. So I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry! Please forgive me! PLEASE! And no more complaining for me.
