He was the kind of man who was not ashamed to show affection. I guess that's what I hated about him. - Deep Thoughts.

"Hey!" Bobby smiled at the sight of Kitty and Jubilee walking into the rec. room. "How was your little trip?"
"Little trip?" Kitty crossed her arms. "It was a highly classified X-woman mission. We nearly died."
Bobby looked from Kitty to Jubilee. "Did you bring me back something?"
"No, but we took pictures!" Jubilee grinned. "We had so much fun."
"Yeah we should sneak out to save someone's life more often." Kitty added with a nod.
"Uh yeah, just don't let Wolverine know about it next time?" Bobby snatched the remote off the coffee table. "He was so angry…"
Jubilee grimaced "Really? You think he still is?"
"Well look who finally decided to wake up." Logan stopped in the doorway. "You ever pull a stunt like that again an' I'll gut ya an' make a coat out of your skin."
"I'm thinking he probably is." Bobby whispered.
"Drake. Out." He jerked his thumb towards the doorway.
Bobby stood up and muttered as he walked past Logan. "Holy… what happened to your face!" He asked AJ with a frown.
"I was just about to ask you the same thing!" AJ snarled sarcastically, moving past the two men in the doorway. She sat down in the arm chair, holding a pack of frozen peas to her face. "And you." She pointed at Logan. "Don't you even start with me."
Logan squared his jaw. "Don't start with you? Darlin', if you'd have listened t'me in the first place-"
"If you would have listened to me instead of being some power hungry macho freak, then we wouldn't have had to sneak out of here to go save Gambit's life!" She said, gesturing as she spoke with the bag of frozen peas. "And who the hell do you think you are, saying I'm not a member of the team? Huh? I oughtta-"
"Slow down…" Jubilee stood up, holding up her hand as she looked at Logan.
He looked at AJ. "You shouldn't have left like that."
"What did you want me to do?" AJ pressed the peas to her face again. "You forbade me from going."
"You never told me you had a vision."
She pressed her lips together, letting her hand holding the frozen peas against her face fall into her lap "I shouldn't have had to. You should have trusted me."
Kitty let out a quick breath "This is awkward…" She whispered to Jubilee who nodded.
Rogue walked into the rec. room, raising an eyebrow before turning quickly to leave.
"Not so fast stripes." Logan extended his arm, pressing his hand against the door jamb to stop her from leaving.
She looked at him with a frown.
"Yer the one that has the most explainin' t'do."
"Ah had a gut feelin' and ah ran with it." She pressed her lips together. "You been teachin' me for years now Logan. Ah know you'd have done the same." Her eyes darted to AJ before moving back to Logan. He knew what she was saying. If someone he cared about was in the same situation, he would have done the exact same thing; orders or no orders.
He let out a breath and shook his head. "Don't do it again."
"Hope ah don't have to." She said with a shrug.
