Confusion
A couple of weeks later after Logan's arrival he had only seen her a couple of times and every time he had seen her she was with some guy he didn't know flirting. Marie was flirting. He didn't understand that the little girl he left behind was not so little now…The Rogue he new didn't flirt… he sat contemplating to himself in the boat house again he new when he left she would be a different person when he came back…he just hadn't expected her to have changed that much. He didn't think she would be a completely different person. One that he found widely attracted to. He had been spending more and more time sitting in the boathouse having time to think.
Logan had lost count as to how many new blocks he had met and seen he was surprised that Xavier would allow them into his school. He said that like a bad thing but he new the school was becoming bigger and in need of more teachers. He growled to himself he had always been the Alfa male and always will be. He wouldn't trust any of them as far as he could through them. He just didn't trust them around Rogue
But the one thing he hated the most was seeing her with these guys, he couldn't put his finger on why but it just annoyed him so much. Sometimes he even had to fight back the Wolverine from tearing some guys head off just because of silly things. An example of this was the day before some big guy with grey hair said his name was Josh or something was cuddled up with her in the rec room, and he swore to God he saw his hand be a little more friendly with her then needed. All she did was smile, that sweet little innocent smile that Marie does; knowing full well Logan was annoyed.
He had come to the conclusion that if he smoked twice as many cigars and drank twice as much bozz and stayed away from rooms with Rogue in and a sent of a guy he would be fine and his anger wouldn't get the better of him.
This was until yesterday. He came home late from a bar he had tried to get away from the mansion after all it was a Friday night and the kids would play chaos at the mansion till around about 11. But that's when he found her and this Josh guy making out of the couch. Seeing red he spun round as fast as he could. Heading straight to the Danger room to do the hardest most exhausting and tiring programs that he had created. In his eyes it was the least he could do, other wise he would storm right in the room right then and dragged the little slime ball off his Marie and beaten him where he fell.
Since when was she yours? He asked him self as he waited for the elevator to lower him to the sub levels. Why do you care if she's up there with some other guy? He growled at this thought clenching his fists even more so they where now white. Why hadn't she told you she had control of her powers? That's what hurt the most. That would be why she didn't need gloves anymore. He understood that now. All these thoughts ran through his head as he plunged in the codes for the Danger room and abolishing all the obstacles in his way once in there. This really wasn't the time for anything or anyone to get in his way. And this really wasn't a hard enough program to stop him. Was anything able to stop him though that was the real question? Because through out all them programs in the Danger room he wasn't Logan he was the Wolverine.
Rogue was seeing a guy called Josh and had been for about two months now. She was happy and he was a nice guy yet none of the people at the mansion like the fact they where seeing each other. She didn't know why this was and never got round to asking. At the end of the day he was a mutant, who lived at the mansion, who was a history teacher, and an X man so they couldn't really say a lot and it really wasn't there call. She liked him, he was cute and funny… but she new she could never Love him. Out of anyone at the mansion if she had to love someone it would be Remy. Well that was until Logan came back.
Right now there was her and Josh having one of there late night movie nights watching old classic B movies which was Rogues favourite because they where less scary. And of course they where in the middle of a heated make out session and of all people to walk in on them it had to be him. Logan. That was all she needed was someone she actually had feelings for to see her with someone who she didn't really share feeling's for at all. This is what made her feel guilty almost instantly. She pulled a way from Josh in a rush. More like pushed him off her, muttering something about needing to get some sleep. Then left the rec room running to her room leaving Josh on the floor from where she had pushed him off her, stunned and confused as to what it was that had just happened and what it was he had done gone wrong.
How could she do this to Josh? Tears welled up in her eyes as she ran to her room as fast as she could. Why had Logan have to come back just as she had sorted her life out? Why had she not told Logan what had happened in the years he was gone before he would find out on his own? Just like now! What was she going to do with these new feelings? Slamming her door loud with one thought remaining. How would she tell Josh? With all the thoughts rushing around in her head she collapsed on to her bed crying. It seemed to be the only thing that helped.
If she was lucky Remy would stay out tonight because it was a Friday. Or at least she prayed to god he would because she couldn't be dealing with his sympathy. So she hoped he wouldn't be there to sense her pain and confusion with his empathy. In away she was happy for that, but also annoyed that he wasn't going to be there to help her when she needed comforting. He was the closest thing she had to a friend around here in fact he was her closest and best friend even if he was a player.
It was one o'clock when she decided to get up and dressed in to her night cloths when she hared footsteps out side in the corridor, listening carefully she closed her eyes as she tried to control the emotions rattling though her body. But chocked out a cry even more when she heard his foot steps only just barley there scraping the floor. He was hurt bit not to bad he was walking weird on his right leg but he healed quickly so it would all be fine way before morning. She silently cursed God for her new ability to use other she had drained ability she didn't really need to know it was Logan walking silently to his room. So she didn't worry about that. It was just the emotions she couldn't control what would she do tomorrow when she had to face him?
Sighing heavily to herself, doing the only thing she could think of as exhaustion was creeping over her tired body slowly. Climbing in to her bed and cuddling up into a ball of pillows and quilt feeling cold and alone even more then she usual felt. It was then she did something she hadn't done in a long while. She laid there and cried herself to sleep.
He could feel her pain and confusion like a nuclear bomb hitting him two times over and over again. His senses picked it up as soon as his adrenalin stopped pumping in the observation room as he watched his session looking for any kinds of mistakes he may have made. Sensing her emotion with his sixth sense brought him back to reality at the time so he decided to make his way to his room. Unlucky for him it was just down the hall from hers just two rooms away. He wasn't looking forward to having to be so close to her suffering. He hated to see her sad, yet this felt like so much more and he really couldn't understand it. He didn't know if he wanted to understand it. He knew being her best friend he should go and see what was wrong with her but he couldn't bring himself to walk towards her room. Walking to his he shut his door and leaned against it.
He had hared her every whimper and movement as she pottered around her room her hitching breath her chocking cries as she registered someone was outside in the hallway. He had sensed her senses. She was going to be the death of him and she didn't even know it. Stumbling over to his bed slowly he couldn't even be bothered to get changed. He just lay on his back looking up at the ceiling as he lit his first cigar of the night. Looking up at the smoke that left it he sighed a heavy sigh. He knew this was going to be a long night with no sleep.
