Tracy embrace Kurt one last time before he walked onto the jet back to the Xavier mansion with slow steps. Her long black hair whipped around her striped body as her amber eyes glistened with light tears. Logan wrapped an arm around her in an attempt to calm her down but she just pushed his arm away and walked towards the vast woods surrounding Sabretooth's estate. She went to the tree she and Sabretooth had shared a conversation in and climbed up.

Whispers from below made her eyes mist again but she brushed the tears back angrily and snarled when Logan tried to climb up after her. He gave her a confused glance and he looked slightly hurt, but he backed down to give her some space. She stayed there all day and well into the night before there was a rustling from below again. Seeing Sabretooth climb up next to her, she refrained from slicing him open and went back to staring blankly at the night sky.

"Yer th' first one in m' family who can't fly." Victor commented idly as he turned his blue eyed gaze towards her. One large hand swept some of his fleeing blonde hair back from his face. Tracy shrugged.

"Just special I guess." The sarcasm in her voice was pointless, laughing didn't feel very important at the time.

"Course." There was a long moment of silence between the two. All that was heard was the soft brush of the wind through the leaves and the occasional rustling of a night animal. It was relatively calm before Tracy started crying. Her sobs were quiet; silent tears of pain. Without a word, Victor pulled her into his arms and cradled her as she continued to cry. He kindly stroked her back to calm her and waited for the tears to pass so she could talk.

"I love him." She finally whispered telepathically. The confession gained a nod from her companion. It was obvious from the way she had looked at her friend. "I can't have him." This statement was also understood. He knew exactly what she referred too.

"Logan's been alone fer a long time," Victor whispered, voice rumbling pleasantly against her, "Kurt's still young, he'll fin' somebody 'ventually." Even though Tracy knew what he said was true, it still couldn't stop her from crying harder. The thought of any other woman holding him, staying with him, loving him, it all hurt her so deeply.

"Why does it have to hurt so much Sabe?" The question was rhetorical, the nickname ignored. "I love him, I never told him, but I love him." Her sobs began to slow as her breathing returned to normal.

"In time th' pain'll fade, jus' gotta hang in there." And just like that, she fell asleep in Victor's comforting embrace, knowing that he would watch over her.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Logan didn't wait for Victor to knock on his door before he opened it. He'd been watching the two from his window as they spoke to eachother. He easily took the sleeping woman from his grasp and nodded his good night before carefully escorting her to his bed. He laid her down gently and sat beside her sleeping form.

Xavier had wanted him to go back to the Institute with the rest of the X-Men but he had refrained from doing so until he had things straightened up with Tracy. He gave a small smile when her body automatically curled into his. They were perfectly matched. Standing up, he swiftly undressed and climbed into bed with his mate. He pulled her into his arms completely and nearly purred with satisfaction at how easily she fit against his body.

In a few moments, he had fallen asleep with her, happiness etched on his face.

OoOoOoOoOoOo

Tracy woke to soft kisses against her neck and she purred in pure pleasure when she realized it was her mate. She automatically responded by running her clawed hands through his thick brown hair. They going to continue, but a knock on the door made them stop. The tiger woman climbed out of Logan's bed and went to answer the door. Vienna stood there with a smug expression before she quickly wiped it away with a blank look.

"Knew I'd find ya here," She paused to smirk before continuing, "meeting in the Office in 5 minutes." With that said, the all-white woman walked down the hall to inform more people.

Tracy turned to Logan where he was dressing and walked up behind him. She wrapped her thin, muscled arms around his waist and buttoned his jeans for him before speaking.

"I would love to just stay here all day and have some fun," She paused, a smirk sliding on her face, "But I've a meeting to attend and pressing matters call." She kissed his cheek and smacked his rear before heading towards the door. "See you later lover." Then she was gone, leaving Logan with a different sort of pressing matter to attend to on his own.

OoOoOoOoOoOo
