Thunder cracked in the background as Logan twisted and turned in his sleep. Nightmares so vivid that seemed to be happening right then and there were clouding his brain. It seemed more scarier then it was when he was an adult. Maybe it was because he felt weaker then he was before. As an adult he could control his fears, make sure it doesn't get the best of him. In his dreams he knew it wasn't happening but was just as scary. The only reason he didn't wake up screaming was because he knew he could fight off Sabertooth in the dream. Now, he can't. As soon as the dream came to the part where he ran off, Logan was who he was now. A fourteen year old boy who's healing abilities were slower and even with the metal in his bones could barely cause damages. His claws just remained the same even that was enough for Sabertooth. In the end, Sabertooth would force Logan to the ground and just before he killed him....
"AHHH!" Logan screamed before sitting up fast.
Looking around fast, he let out a sigh of relief when he realized he was in his bedroom. He was resting peacefully in his bed in the nice warm covers. However Logan was still frightened by the dream. Not only that, but he was also frustrated with himself for being afraid of the reoccurring dream. BOOM! Logan jumped and quickly looked out the window. It was just thunder. Just calm down it's nothing, Logan thought as he tried to calm down. It's just stupid thunder... BOOM! Jumping out of bed, he dashed down the hallways and thrust the door open. When he looked inside there was Scott's bed with Kurt, Kitty, Jean, Rogue, and Evan sleeping in the same bed.Obviously he wasn't the only one who was afraid of the thunder.
"Logan...is that you?" Scott asked sleepily.
"Uh I thought I heard something and well....something went by my door and I went to go check," Logan said turning a bit red. That is a lame excuse.
Scott let out a sigh before bringing Jean and Kitty closer to him. The others woke up a bit and got closer to. Logan walked towards one side and got in bed too. Cuddling up against whoever was there (he really didn't pay attention he was too tired) and then closed his eyes. This person has very soft pajamas, Logan thought as he nuzzled against the back of the person. Then the person turned around towards him and they draped their arm around him. Caring less if he woke up in a guys arm, Logan fell asleep almost instantly.

The next day, Logan was dressed up and sitting outside. Charles said that it would be best if Logan stayed outside while they experimented. Scott and Jean were outside too having a small picnic together (which Scott said so plainly he'd kill them if they ruined their 'date'), Kurt was flirting with Kitty, Rogue was reading a book, and Evan was skating boarding. Logan was doing nothing. He was just sitting there in the grass staring up at the sky. The young boy had nothing to do but lay down.
"Hey Logan!" Evan shouted walking towards him.
"What do you want?" He asked standing up.
"Want to learn how to skate board?"
"Not really..."
"GOOD! Come on we'll go to the driveway and practice."
"Didn't I say no?"
Evan grabbed Logan's wrist and stopped for a second. He seemed to be thinking about something before he tried to yank Logan away. It was difficult. Kurt seemed to notice this and helped Evan out. Even with the two boys combined it was still hard to drag Logan. Though it seemed to gradually get easier until they were at the driveway. The skateboard was then thrown onto the driveway and Evan put a helmet on Logan (a size too big) and strapped it on him. It didn't take long before Jean dashed towards them and started insisting about knee pads and elbow pads. Scott had to come drag Jean back to the picnic before she wrapped Logan in bubble wrap.
"Too protective," Logan said loosening the helmet a bit. "I'm about to choke on this."
"Now to get onto the skateboard," Evan said.
Logan stared at it then got onto the skateboard. Evan put his hand onto Logan's shoulders before pushing him. The young boy started freaking out a bit as he was sent flying down the road waving his arms wildly. Everyone was shouting his name as they chased after him. Now he was on the road! Two seconds later he fell off the board and tumbled off. Standing up fast, Logan jumped off the road towards the grass and sighed relief. There was no cars aiming at him now. Lucky him. Glancing around, he started walking again. Well I'm lost, Logan thought then walked down the road. I don't have my cell phone either... His stomach growled and he let out a sigh. That's right I skipped breakfast. Could today get any worst?
"Hey kid you smell familiar!" A voice growled. "Do I know you from somewhere?"
Logan's eyes widen before he turned around. There was the man from his nightmare. Sabertooth. Stumbling backwards, he fell down before he looked up at the man shocked. Sabertooth was standing there still frowning and showing his fangs. It just got worst, Logan thought then got into the fighting position. All that did was make Sabertooth laugh.
"Like I'm going to fight a little boy," Sabertooth said.
"LOOK I'M NOT A GIRL I'M A....oh wait you said boy," Logan said.
"Boy, Girl, still ain't fighting a shrimp like you."
Narrowing his eyes, Logan tried to hold back his anger. Getting into a fight with Sabertooth would be completely stupid. Especially when he's half his height. Might as well pull off the innocent boy act, He thought. After all even HE must have a heart.....somewhere...
"I got lost," He said quietly. "My friends were teaching me how to ride a skateboard and then I got onto the road. So....um...can you help me?"
"Why should I?" Sabertooth asked. "I'm very busy."
"Because I need help?"
"Don't care."
Logan narrowed his eyes at Sabertooth getting very pissed off now. He was about to just claw the older man even though he'll die as soon as he gets a scratch on him. OH SCREW THIS! Within seconds his claws were out and was about to stab the man right in the heart when Sabertooth grabbed his wrist and forced him to the ground. Yelping in pain, the younger boy fidgeted around before he gave up.
"I knew that scent was familiar," Sabertooth said smirking. "Wolverine is that you?"
"Quiet Sabertooth," Logan said angrily. "Also....GET OFF ME! YOU'RE HEAVY!"
Sabertooth got off him then started cracking up. Logan sat up and frowned as he watched the old man laugh. Finally when the older man stopped he watched Logan stand up before he gave him a smirk.
"So shrimp how'd you get so small?" Sabertooth asked before circling the little boy.
"An accident happened when I was suppose to be punished," Logan said watching him. "Look I'm small but I'm still strong enough to take you down!"
"Yeah right."
Sabertooth picked Logan up by the collar of his shirt and smirked at the boy. Caught off guard by this, Logan started struggling a bit which only caused Sabertooth to start laughing again. Then, out of the blue, Sabertooth dropped Logan to the ground and stood there. Quickly getting to his feet, he was about to run off when he noticed Jean, Scott, Kurt, Kitty, and Evan. He ran towards the gang before he was yanked close to Jean. She had a firm grip on him before she held up her hand and focused on him.
"You will leave....you will leave...," She said then cringed and put her hand down.
Sabertooth shook his head then smirked. It didn't work. It didn't take long before he came after them. Scott yanked off his sun glasses and lasers shotted out from his eyes and hit Sabertooth straight in the chest. The man was sent off flying and Scott quickly put on his sunglasses. Everyone then ran off and Logan soon saw Scott's car not too far away. Kitty, Kurt, and Evan climbed into the backseat while Jean shoved Logan to the seat in the middle of the front seat in between her and Scott. They drove off fast and were back at the institute within minutes.
"EVAN YOU'RE IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!" Jean shouted as Evan already got the hint and went inside. "YOU COULD'VE GOTTEN LOGAN KILLED!"
"I would only be dead for a little while," Logan said with a smirk.
"AND YOU!"
"Why am I in trouble?!"
"YOU OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW NOT TO PICK A FIGHT WITH SABERTOOTH! ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU'RE HALF HIS HEIGHT AND WEAKER THEN HIM! HE COULD HAVE EASILY RIPPED YOUR LITTLE HEAD OFF! YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN MORE CAREFUL! ALSO WHAT TEMPTED YOU TO ACTUALLY DO WHAT EVAN SAYS?! FIRST IT'S SKATEBOARDING THEN IT'S RIDING A MOTORCYCLE THEN DRUGS!"
Logan stood there for a second before leaning towards Kurt.
"How'd it get from dying to drugs?" He whispered.
"I don't know," Kurt whispered back. "Besides don't you already know how to ride a motorcycle?"
Logan shrugged and just waited out until Jean stopped screaming. Then, she threw her arms around Logan and hugged him so tight he thought he was going to die for good! She cried into his hair before calming down and wiped away her tears. Logan got one more hug before she walked away smiling slightly.
"You really worried her Logan," Scott said. "When she saw you with Sabertooth she thought you were going to die."
"But I wasn't," Logan said looking up at him. "You know as well as I do that nothing kills me long. I was going to be fine."
"She's worried about you Logan. When someone cares deeply about someone they forget about everything and just start worrying. While you're like this, Jean cares about you, worries about you, and wants you happy. Like...a big sister."
Logan watched everyone walk inside before he slowly followed. He did act a bit careless. The others did care more about him lately. Worried senseless when he got a simple paper cut. Especially Jean, she was so worried about him.
"...As much as it's going to kill to say this," Logan said with a sigh. "I really should do something that'll make up for my carelessness. Ugh, damn it! Now I have guilt on me! The sooner I get back to normal the sooner me getting guilty so fast will go away...Uh....what do girls like?"
(Yep Logan almost got killed. It's getting a bit more serious on a couple of pages XD. Anyway, okay I want to know what Logan should do with Jean so she'll be happy and junk. Give me ideas please! :3)
