Skye: Chapter two is quite short so the next one should be up today. Oh, did I forget to mention, because this is a movie fan fiction, we're going for the Hugh Jackman, 6' 3" height.

Chapter 2: This One Is Different

"Charmed," Logan said. "How are you with walking?"

"One of my specialities," Elska said.

They both turned around and she was now fully clothed

Logan smiled and started up the steep hill which they had just tumbled down. As he pushed through the trees, he thought about what Scott's reaction would be when he told him that he had smashed his four-by-four to pieces. It would be something he hoped that someone would record.

He also thought about Elska. She seemed like she was happy but he knew that she was hiding something in there. Abusive father or abusive boyfriend? He couldn't really decide and he made a mental note to ask her in a few weeks time (assuming, of course, that she stuck around). And the thought was still in his head that she was probably still quite wary of him.

"How far is it?" she asked as they came to the top of the hill and started along the road.

"Only a few miles," he said. "What's that?" he asked, catching sight of a thin red line on her wrist.

"Nothing," she said quickly.

He wasn't stupid. He knew it wasn't nothing, but he didn't question her about it.

He could tell that he had upset her, but still, he didn't doubt that anyone else would have asked her. The cut could have been obtained from whatever she had seemed to be defending him against, but her reaction had been too hasty.

He had to hand it to her, though. The walk was a long one and she hadn't complained once: not about the wind, the cold, the pain she was probably feeling from the crash. She didn't moan about the journey taking too long or her aching legs. He guessed that she couldn't have had it easy in Ohio.

She stumbled a little. He caught her before she hit the ground.

"Are you OK?"

She laughed a little. "Yeah."

"Are your legs OK?"

"I've been walking for a long time, Logan and I haven't eaten much. I guess I'm just a little tired or something," she shrugged.

Right then, she yawned and buckled a little. He held her up.

"I'll carry you," he said, trying to be helpful.

"That's not-"

He swept his left arm under her knees and picked her up. She was really small in his arms. She didn't say anything and he walked on. After about five minutes, he saw that she had fallen asleep. He laughed and shook his head a little, yet he couldn't understand why he liked this girl so much.

After about twenty minutes, they had arrived at the mansion and Elska was awake. He set her down on her feet.

"Thank you."

He led her inside. Xavier probably sensed him come in and wheeled out from the dining room.

"I'm sure Scott will be quite unhappy to learn that you destroyed his car, Logan. Welcome back." He turned to Elska. "And Hybrid, I believe?"

"Elska…or Ellie," she smiled. "I take it that you're Professor Xavier?"

He nodded and shook her hand. No one said anything for a few minutes so Logan assumed that Xavier was reading her mind.

"I understand," Xavier said aloud. "You can share a room with Rogue. I am sure she will be happy to meet you. Upstairs, to the left and then it's the third door on the right."

Elska thanked him and secured her bag more tightly over her shoulder, then walked away from him.

"Not to be…disrespectful to Marie or anything, professor," Logan said. "But since when is Rogue happy to meet other people?"

Xavier smiled.

"This one is different, Logan…trust me."

Skye: Next chapter should be up in an hour or two. Please review and I promise it will get better! So please be patient!
