Author's Notes: Next chapter! If you want to know what song's at the beginning of each chapter, just ask me in your review!
The quote near the end with the camcorder, is taken from my friend Isilthrar, I thank her for giving me the great idea, and not killing me. Even though after she reads this she might... (and the left claw bit) oh no...she's gunna murder me!
Kattr2: I totally agree with you! GEORGUS! I have some pictures of him you know…

M.J.L.S: That, I agree with also – Logan 4 Marie! What does your name stand for? Just curious…

No one knows what it's like,
To be the bad man,
To be the sad man,
Behind blue eyes.
Logan stepped out of the shower and shook himself off. Rogue was stood in front of him, staring and smiling.
"It's very rude to stare!" said Logan playfully. "Especially when I've just got out of the shower and haven't had a chance to get a towel!" he groped for the nearest towel and Rogue laughed.
"It's only me!" she said between laughs, walking up to him and planting a kiss on his lips. Logan smiled and walked past her to get dressed.
Logan sat on the sofa, his right arm round Rogue, not really paying attention to what was on the television.
"X-Men, report to the jet, immediately," came Xavier's voice through the speaker.
All the X-Men suited up, and walked onto the jet.
They didn't have far to go, and in the centre of the city, there was a man. He was the cause of flaming buildings all around. He had a mask that was half black, half white, taking up his whole body. The top half of his 'costume' was half black half white, but opposite sides to his mask, the lower part of his suit the opposite of the upper.
"What do they call you, 'Inverse'?" Logan joked, lighting a cigar.
"Actually, yes," the villain answered. Logan practically choked.
Rogue appeared behind Logan, along with Ororo, Scott, and Bobby.
"You working for Magneto, tough guy?" asked Scott, hand ready at the side of his quartz visor.
"Inverse, works alone," Inverse told them. His voice was different to what they expected. It seemed to be quiet, and taunting, not loud, and frightening.
He conjured one black and one white beam in each hand, and shot them towards the X-Men. All dodged, except one. Rogue didn't move in time, and took the full blow of both.
"ROGUE!" Logan cried out, running to her side. He felt for a pulse, and breathed out. There was one. He stood up and extended his claws quickly. "Look black and white man, you can attack the city, but hurt my girl, and die."
Logan couldn't see Inverse's face, but it was obvious he was smiling.
"Come, come good Logan," he said. "You're no killer, are you?"
"I'm not the bad guy," Logan replied, retracting his claws. He picked up Rogue and walked onto the jet. "Come on, we're going!" he called back to the others.
Reluctant and confused, the X-Men boarded the ship after Logan.
"Logan," Ororo walked over to him. "I don't understand."
Logan smiled, "You wouldn't."
Ororo wanted to ask more, and push on the subject, but she knew better than to do so.
Logan stood behind Rogue and placed his body right against hers, showing her how she should stand to prepare for a fight. Ever since the battle with Inverse, Logan had been giving Rogue combat lessons.
"That's it, just lift that arm a little, perfect Rogue," Logan said, smiling.
"Logan, it's only us two, why don't you call me Marie?"
"I could…"
"And you will," Rogue told him. Logan laughed; she could always boss him about. She was the only one, mind; everyone else was told where to stick it.
Logan moved in front of her, and readied himself for fight. "Now, I want you to charge at me, and kick me in the worse place possible."
"You mean…"
"Yes I mean there."
Marie closed her eyes, "Do I have to?"
"Do you want to be hurt in a fight again?"
"I wouldn't mind – seeing as you spent a good ten minutes kissing me after I woke up, I should just fake being out cold sometimes, then I get a long kiss after!"
Logan grunted. He walked back behind her, and placed himself in the same position as before, only kissing her neck this time.
"Logan," said Marie, placing one hand back on his cheek. "Is it natural for you to have your hand there?"
Logan removed his hand from her butt, and said, "Not really, but I'm sure you don't mind!"
Marie giggled, "You're right; I don't mind."
Logan kissed her more, and she turned to face him. She wrapped her arms round his neck, and kissed him on the lips.
"I've been meaning to ask you," said Logan, kissing her quickly before finishing his sentence, "how did you learn to dance like you did when we first started dating?"
Marie's face fell, "I used to do dance. Used to, and it's staying that way. I'm not going back," she walked away from him, and wrapped her arms around herself.
"Marie…" Logan whispered, walking back over to her. "What's wrong?" he placed his hand on her arm.
"It's no big deal," she said, shrugging him off.
"I think it is," Logan said, turning her to face him. He left her for a second, to go to the CD player. He put in a slow song, and walked up to her. "May I have this dance?" he asked, offering his hand. As much as Marie wanted to, she couldn't resist.
He led her to the centre of the room, and put his hands on her waist. She put her arms round his neck. She hated remembering the times she used to dance, but once she was actually dancing, she was in heaven. Not needing to remember steps, she moved with the music, closely pulled against Logan.
Logan seemed to pull her closer than necessary, but Marie didn't resist. She moved her face closer to his, and kissed him gently on the lips. Logan deepened the kiss, and Marie complied.
Marie pulled back, "We're being watched."
"Beautiful, just beauty – no don't look at the camera!"
Logan looked towards the door and snarled, "Scott, if you don't turn that camcorder off this instant, then the students who are watching this are going to be seeing their lunch again, not to mention you being turned into a eunuch"
Scott quivered, and ran through the mansion. Throughout the mansion you could hear Scott screaming, and Logan saying, "Come on! I'll use my left claw!"
