So I'm giving this story another chance but I'm really busy with a lot of my other stories so updates but be really far apart. I really want to thank my Beta Mrs. Thor Odinson.

A Threatening Shadow: 4

Chapter IV

Lizzy's POV

I looked at the car that is already pretty packed. Professor Xavier was in the passenger seat next to Peter, who was driving and the twins are sitting in the back. There is only one seat, in the middle between the twins.

Resigning to my fate I walked towards the car and noticed Logan pull up with his motorcycle. "Hey, you want a ride?" he asked.

I smiled. "Yeah, thanks. That car is too crowded," I said with a chuckle.

He smiled and handed me his helmet.

Logan pulled up to the car window. "So should I go first or do you want me to follow?" he asked Professor Xavier.

"I want you to follow. If we stop for any reason I don't want you getting too far ahead," Professor Xavier answered.

"Fine by me," Logan said.

Peter put his seatbelt on and pulled away. Logan got ready to leave but slowed down the engine to talk. "You might want to hold on tight," he shouts to me.

I wrapped my arms around his waist and felt the warmth his body lets off. I felt my cheeks getting hot. Thank goodness he couldn't see me blush, that would be embarrassing.

#

It was late by the time we reach the mansion. Logan helped me get off the motorcycle, I hand him the helmet and we waited for the others to come driving up. At some point during the drive Logan had got ahead of Peter. So they were a little behind.

It's cold out and I can feel myself start to shake. "You're cold," Logan said as he had noticed me shake. He took off his jacket and he put it on me. "There," he said smiling at me.

I already felt warmer. "Thanks," I replied as I hugged the jacket closer to myself.

We stood in silence for a few seconds and just look at the stars in the night sky.

"Hey, I was wonder, if you would like to have dinner with me Saturday?" Logan asked, his voice is gruff and sounds like he is almost worried I'll say no.

I looked at his face and it's honest and a little worried. I smiled at him. "I would love that."

I watch how his face goes from worried to happy in seconds.

"Great, I'll get you at 7," he replies with a grin.

Just then we hear the car pull up. We walked towards them when it stopped and help them grab a few things. I grabbed a suitcase of Ashley's and Logan grabbed a large box.

As we walked into the mansion we hardly heard any noise besides a few voices in the living room. It's pass the kids bedtime so they are probably all asleep. I step into the living room and see Scott, Jean and Marie all talking. I smiled at them. "We are back and we have the twins," I said.

Jean smiled. "That's great. Scott, could you show them their rooms?" Jean asked looking at Scott.

Scott pulled himself off the couch and takes the suitcase out of my hand. "Of course," he said while looking at Jean.

"Oh, I hope you don't mind, but I was thinking of having Ashley in your room?" Jean told me.

"That's fine," I sad with a smile.

Ashley seems really nice, so I think it will be great sharing a room with her, or at least I am hoping so.

#

I noticed Ashley walk through the door and look in awe at all that was around her. I chuckle, "Yeah, I felt the same when I first got here. Come on, let me show you the room you'll be sharing with me and my friend," I told her as I headed towards the stairs.

She followed slowly behind and looked around in awe at all the paintings and carvings along the way to our room.

I walked into our room and I noticed that Ashley's two suitcases are already ready on the extra bed that most of been added while I was gone.

Rose is on her bed looking at her laptop. With the look in her eyes she most be looking at Thor.

"Hey, I'm back!" I cry.

"Oh, you're back!" Rose shouted, jumped up and hugged me tight.

"Rose I need to breath," I said.

"Oh, sorry," Rose said with a shy smile.

Just then Ashley walked in and looked all around. she smiled and looked over at the bed and the new dresser.

"Rose this is our new roommate Ashley. Ashley this is Rose," I introduced them to each other.

"Hello," Rose said with a wave.

"Hi," Ashley replied with a smile.

"You're probably tired so, I'll help you unpack and then we should get ready for bed," I explained.

Ashley and I unpack her suitcases and I noticed that she only carries two books Pride & Prejudice and The Bible. "I love your books," I say, breaking the silence.

"So you've read Jane?" Ashley asked smiling at her copy of Pride & Prejudice.

"Yeah, I've read all six of her novels. This one's my favorite," I replied.

"You both should see six hours of dullness sometime," Rose remarked.

"Six hours of dullness?" Ashley asked confused.

I laughed and then explained, "That's what Rose calls the BBC version of Pride & Prejudice."

"Don't forget about Mr. Snort face or Creepy Mr. Darcy," Rose added.

"What?" Ashley asked even more confused.

"Mr. Collins," I said. "Apparently he snorts and Rose had a crush on Colin firth when she was a kid but did not know why she felt different about him. So, she called him Creepy Mr. Darcy.

Ashley widened her eyes. "What did I walked into?"

Ashley and I get back to the unpacking. Finally when it was really late and she unpacked, Ashley went to the bathroom and gets dressed for bed.

I took a good look at the room. Ashley seemed to like everything being neat as well. Then I notice a poster on the wall that was never there before. "Rose, is that a poster of the Avengers?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I thought that the wall looked very Avenger-less so I got the poster," Rose explained.

Then I notice a large poster of just Thor. "Rose," I said.

"What? He is dreamy," she answered.

I shook my head.

"Don't shake your head. You actually have met your favorite Avenger," Rose defended herself. "And danced with him too I might add," she said as she crossed her arms across her chest.

"Okay, but I don't go looking at Captain Steven Rogers as much as you look at Thor," I exclaimed.

"Well not all of us have met our favorite heroes," Rose says with a pout.

"Come on Rose let's not fight. Next time just warn me before you turn our room into an Avenger headquarters," I joked.

"You know they actually have one, right?" Rose declared seriously.

"Of course they do," I said as I placed a hand on my head.

Ashley walked in and looked completely confused. "What are you two talking about?" she asked.

"We are just being ourselves," I reassured her. Then I smiled at her big. "So what do you think of our room?" I asked, holding out my hands wide.

She chuckled and smiled at me, "I like it, you guys are really good at making it look homely."

"Thanks," I Replied.

Rose and I got ready for bed and sit on our beds and talk to Ashley. "Oh, I got asked on a date," I added as our talking started die down.

"What?!" Rose exclaimed. "You got asked out and you didn't tell me?"

I laughed at her shocked face. "I didn't really have time to tell you earlier tonight."

"You mean you got asked tonight?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah, I did. And you'll never guess who it is," I said with a smug smile.

"Is it Kurt?" Rose asks.

"It is Logan," Ashley guessed knowingly.

I looked at her completely shocked. "How did you guess?" I asked her with my mouth nearly falling off my face.

"I could see the sparks between you two," Ashley explained.

"So, you're going on a date with Wolverine?" Rose asked, not sounding that excited.

"What? Why aren't you excited?" I asked her in worry.

"Oh, no I'm happy for you. I just don't think he is that cute," Rose explained.

"What do you mean he is not cute, of course he is not cute, he is handsome," I defend.

"Whatever, as long as he doesn't break your heart I'm fine with him," Rose said, raising her hands in the air.

Ashley laughed at us. "You two are funny," she said with a chuckle. "And I think you and Logan look cute together," she added with a grin.

"See, she thinks we look cute together," I said, pointing it out to Rose.

"I never say you two weren't," Rose defended.

"But you never said we are," I mumbled.

Rose rolled her eyes and got up from her bed and took her hands in mine. "Lizzy, I think you and Logan look really cute together. And as long as he doesn't break your heart, which I would have to kill him for, I'm happy for you and hope everything works out for the best," Rose said honestly to me.

"Thanks Rose, you're the best," I exclaimed, hugging her.

As we pull away she smiles widely. "Yeah, I know," she said with a mocking smug voice.

I flicked her, hug her again and roll my eyes. I looked down at the foot of my bed and noticed I still had Logan's jacket, I should return it to him tomorrow.
