Here's the next part for you guys!


Students at the mansion found themselves wishing for Scott and Jean to be back, though they had only been gone four days. Ororo and Logan were harder on them than usual, though they both seemed to be grinning more often, and were now commonly found together. Logan eased up on the couples around school, which pleased them no end, but the Danger Room sessions were harder and longer as if he was trying to wear them out for some reason.

Food was prepared as normal by Ororo and any who cared to help her, but Logan almost always volunteered, so the kids were spared Kitty's cooking – in that respect they wished things could stay as they were, well, everyone except Kitty. Logan and Ororo shared the washing up, ending up having splashing fights during the task.

More unusual than all this was that Ororo and Logan disappeared for hours on end, and they were starting to both sleep in one of their rooms or the other. The older students knew what this meant, but they refused to believe it, as it seemed weird that Logan could actually…with adamantium everywhere in his body. However, more than one girl stopped to think if he actually had the metal everywhere.

There were a few new faces, but not too many, as students kept arriving, but in small chunks rather than a steady flow. Kitty and Kurt had decided to stay as teachers, following in Jean and Scott's footsteps. Bobby was currently deciding, as were a number of others, Forge had decided to join Hank as a technician down in the labs, considering his powers would be best put to use there, unless he worked for the government, and his feelings towards them at the moment were not the most pleasant.

Ororo and Logan at this precise moment had both made excuses, then gone on a picnic together. Ororo lay on her back eating cherries, when she smiled and rolled over, beginning to laugh. Logan looked at her in surprise and raised an eyebrow.

"I was thinking," Ororo explained, "what the children would think, what even Charles would think, if they knew how sweet and loving you could be. And what they might make of the big bad fierce Logan on a picnic."

Logan smirked and lounged back on his elbows. "I can't say f'r certain, but I'd guess they wouldn't believe it if yer told 'em."

Beautiful and elegant, thoughtful and smart, more than he deserved, Logan had a tendency to think he deserved nothing good in this world, as he didn't feel like a very good person a whole lot of the time. Ororo was the best thing, he felt, which had happened in his entire life, that he could remember of course. His eyes glazed over as these thoughts crossed his already troubled mind.

Ororo reached over and touched his cheek. "Logan? What's wrong?"

"Nothin'." He dismissed it and smiled at her, but a frown creased her brow and she turned her worried eyes to meet his.

"Is it the speed of our relationship? How quickly things changed?"

"No, it's nothin' like that. We both know why that happened, it's b'n buildin' f'r years 'Ro, don't say stuff like tha'."

Ororo shrugged and propped herself up on her elbows. "I know, I just can hardly believe us and this. It's amazing and I know that I'm with the right man. It's scary."

Logan blinked and smiled. "I thought th' same thing. It was scarin' me too, j'st couldn't admit it to myself I guess, but since I'm not alone, then I guess I could."

Smiling, Ororo kissed him as he leant over. "Well, I'll keep that a secret."

Logan smiled and rolled her over to kiss her and wrap his arms around his waist as their kiss deepened. Ororo moaned into the kiss as on of his hands wandered across her body. She stopped his hand suddenly and broke their kiss breathlessly.

"Not here, not in full view. Over there, or in the car." She told him firmly. "Or home."

Logan scooped her up in his arms and held her against his hip as she locked her legs around his waist, kissing his neck. He quickly packed everything away and grabbed the blanket, before heading off to a sheltered clearing that was completely out of view from everyone and almost completely unknown to everyone who came to the picnic area outside of Bayville. There the outside world was forgotten for a few hours and they were alone.

Or so they thought…

----In Anchorage----

Jean smiled as Scott as he brought her lunch into the bathroom where she was having a bath. "Hey beautiful, having some peace?"

"Um hmm, " Jean nodded and smiling. "Thank you, aww, you brought me food."

"Um hmm." Scott mimicked and laughed as she splashed water at him. "What else would I be doing out there?"

Jean smiled and tilted her head. "Calling some woman to replace me?"

Scott held his heart and fell to his knees, with a pained expression on his face. "Ouch, you think that little of me? I'm heart broken."

Laughing at his playful behaviour, Mrs Summers splashed her husband again and sat up to take a bite of the sandwich he had brought into her. "Mmm, you know me too well, my absolute favourite."

Scott smiled and got up off his knees, nodding. "When do you want to go into the town? You said you needed something."

"Later." Jean groaned and held out a hand to him, which he took quickly and kissed. "Join me?"

"Fully clothed?" Scott asked with a smirk and causing Jean to giggle and shake her head. "Fine, give me a minute then, I gotta go get something for you."

Jean watched him leave and blew some of the bubbles across the room. Life was good, very good and now they might have a bigger family, if the feelings were right, as she thought they were. She looked at her toes as they lifted above the water and smiled. Maybe she wouldn't be able to see them in a few months, if what she thought was true. Scott came back in holding something behind his back and smiled at her.

"What's this?" He said calmly, holding out the pregnancy test box she had bought when she had gone into town. "Why'd you buy it? Apart from the obvious."

Closing her mouth after her jaw had dropped, Jean steeled herself and closed her eyes. "It's a pregnanct test, Scott, and I got it because I have a feeling… I think I might be pregnant, and I wanted to be sure."

Now it was Scott's turn to have his jaw drop, and his eyes widen behind his glasses. He swallowed and licked his lips. His throat suddenly felt dry and he was lost for words. Scott looked up and met her eyes, forming a, no, the question. Jean smiled into his eyes and nodded.

"I did, and I am… Scott… We're going to be-"

"PARENTS!" Scott erupted finally and grinned widely, swooping over to kiss Jean fully on the lips, almost falling into the bath as he did so.

Jean giggled at his enthusiasm and pulled him in with her. He looked shocked and water went everywhere, but the two really didn't care. Scott leant up and held her face in his hands as he kissed her again. She put her hands over his and smiled into the kiss, wrapping her legs around his waist. Scott felt her thoughts through their link and let go of her so she could remove his shirt. His hands travelled over her body as she began to remove the rest of his clothing and push against him. Scott felt her want mimicking his own and they both moved to remedy the want that was turning steadily into need.

Close to the small cabin, a figure watched the town move and turned it's gaze to the cabin, smiling. The two within didn't need any help or assistance; they didn't need the news of trouble, or well being. They needed one another and that was a beautiful thought, a beautiful feeling. One that was spreading throughout the world. Whoever knew that two instances of true and deep love could make a difference…

Standing, the figure raised its hands over its head and called on its power. A bright, golden glow surrounded the cabin and the figure smiled, that was innocent love, beautiful, truly amazing. Focusing on the beauty of the light, the creature closed its eyes in concentration. The glow grew and began to trickle over the town, spreading like a web over first the town, then the region then the country and continued to grow.

A blast of silver light catapulted the figure away from Alaska and toward its companion and their rendezvous.

---- Just outside Bayville… ----

The figure, who had been monitoring the emotion of the couple who were hidden, smiled as a jet of silver dashed across the sky. So it was time…

Raising its hands like the one who had just left Anchorage, a similar glow began, this one was bronze and blazing white hot. The creature supposed that was the ferocity of the emotion reacting to its magiks, but continued. Their web began to cover Bayville, then spread to the state and past through the country, trying to join with the gold that was creeping soundlessly across already.

Another silver silent blast and this figure jetted into the sky and headed for Washington DC, to watch the sight and hope that the effort of them both would give the world something to live for.

Ororo and Logan were oblivious to the power their love provided and broke apart finally, caressing each other lightly and sharing the occasional kiss as they prepared to go home. Logan bowed his head and smiled at the beauty who was trying to tidy up her hair. She stuck her tongue out at him and smiled.

"Logan, don't watch me, it's off putting."

"Tough darlin', I like watchin'." Logan smirked and wrapped an arm around her.

Laughing, Ororo pulled away and summoned a light wind to sort her hair out. Satisfied, she leant over and kissed him. "Done."

"Done? Home?"

"Home." Ororo smiled and stood, extending one hand to hold his. Swinging their joined hands, the pair talked all the way to the car and all the way home.

Kitty was waiting for them to grill them as a dare from Kurt, Bobby and Jubes. She smiled back at her friends as Logan pulled into the garage. Tapping one foot and folding her arms, Kitty looked at them casually.

"And where have you two been?" She asked sternly, not expecting any helpful answer. She was rewarded by a grunt from Logan and a laugh from Ororo before Logan spoke.

"We've been busy Half-Pint, and what doin' I'm sure y' can guess."

Ororo slapped his arm playfully and chuckled at the look on Kitty's face as they walked past her into the mansion. Kurt teleported to Kitty's side after they'd gone and waved a hand in front of her face as the other two managed to get across to her.

"I zink she's dead." Kurt shrugged.

Bobby laughed and got a glare from Jubilation. "Hey Kitty! Look Mall!"

Kitty blinked and looked at Jubes, causing the guys to crack up and laugh at them both, getting identical glares and the threat of a slap. Jubes was surprised when Kitty looked so pale and hissed at Kurt, who immediately put an arm around her.

"Vhat's wrong Katzchen?"

"Logan and Ororo… they just – I mean, they, like, admitted… They just hinted… LOGAN'S HUMAN!" Kitty screamed, causing the other three to gasp in horror.

"They didn't! They weren't!" Jubes said through her hands, which had gone up to cover her mouth.

Kitty nodded slowly and Jubilation suddenly felt sick. Logan wasn't supposed to… he was old and Logan and old!

"Cool! Blackmail!" Bobby yelled happily, putting an arm around Jubes, trying to cheer her up.

Kurt and Bobby didn't see the point in getting worked up, so they pulled the girls off to the kitchen to get something to eat, hoping that the teachers wouldn't be there. They sparked up a conversation that was interrupted by Lockheed flying at Bobby, breathing flames. The garage affair was forgotten for now and the teens couldn't help but laugh.

---- Above Washington DC ----

"You did it?"

"Yes, as soon as I saw your signal."

"Then our split was enough, let us join!"

The two figures who had caused a net of light to encompass America and slowly the rest if the world dived at one another and after a spark of green light became one. Smiling at the world and at the net of love that now covered it, though the humans and mutants couldn't see it.

"I have given a gift. May it make your lives worth living more than they are already!"

Sparks of rainbow coloured light flashed from the creature and fell onto the net, causing it to solidify and shatter. At least one piece hit every living thing on the planet, a great number falling in the oceans to be reused and recycled over and over.

"Love that is stronger than life is a gift, and the four people you have to thank are mutants! How ironic in some cases, but now let your hatred die, let your love take control and the human spirit be freed from the pains of normal life. Untarnished and untainted, now you all have a chance."

The figure smiled and its body morphed into the form that a human could look upon without fear. Drifting down into central park, he looked around and a deep yearning awoke in him, as strong as the one that had led him here.

"Where… Xavier? You call me now I am able to be sensed… I will be with you shortly."

He wanted to be part of something, a family or a group, he too wanted to be part of the love that covered the planet. After meeting with Xavier, maybe he would, maybe there could be rest for an eternal traveller…


Sorry it took so long! I ran out of ideas then they came thick and fast. I hope this is enjoyable and you will review for me.

Who is the figure, the man, the creature? Soon all shall be revealed. Review if you're still here.
