Surprise!

Days went on and it was Rogues birthday she wasn't that excited because only Logan new her birthday in the mansion. That's the way she liked it. Her and Josh had ended up having a huge argument in front of everyone at the dinner table that morning which all started with a simple pass me the salt. He had got the message that her and him where never going to be back to normal again anytime soon.

Logan just sat back and watched as the tension was finally released in to anger and out of both there systems, maybe now everyone in the mansion wouldn't be so highly strung. With the exception on Scott of course.

Breakfast finished and then a new day started Rogue had her classes going about doing all her usual stuff. No one even noticed that she seemed to be in a more cheery mood not even Kitty. She didn't quit understand why she was so happy yes it was her birthday but maybe it had something to do with the fact that Logan was here and he was going to be there for her birthday as well.

She had decided to just sit and watch some TV seeing as no one else seemed to be in the rec room at the time. But only to have all the guys barging in 10 minutes later nicking the remote to watch the baseball. Marie just rolled her eyes and sighed but it was the way of the mansion majority rules on most things and the TV was one of them things. Pushing her self off the sofa only to be filled as soon as she had got up by Kurt. Popcorn was fly ever where as he boys started to fight over who was going to win. She was suddenly glad she had moved and got out of there before they had all decided to act like 7 year olds.

Marie decided that instead of wasting a perfectly good day that she would head down to the lakeside and sit and read for a while. It was her favourite spot to just go out and think or just to relax. It was her day so she was allowed to have sometime to herself to relax. It was half 5 so the sun would set soon but Marie still wished to go out to the lake anyways. She loved the peacefulness of the woods and how it made her listen closely to the wild, which she loved. The Professor had made her a special place to sit. On one of the trees down by the lake there was a bench underneath it and yet she was the only one that seemed to know it existed. Which was how she liked it.

Rogue ended up falling asleep on the bench listening to all the nature around her as the sunset in front of her. Yet the professor who messaged her urgently awaked her unexpectedly.

X-men you are needed immediately

She jumped up half asleep grabbed her book which she never actually had time enough to read and flow to the mansion as to be there as soon as she could. Instantly going to her room to get her uniform on then headed down to the war room.

She sat patiently around the circle table with Hank, the professor, Jean, Kitty and Storm. Rogues uniform had changed to equip her powers. It was still leather yet it wasn't so confining. Leather trousers with combat boots and a top that was also made of leather showing a lot of her stomach and all her arms, big silver cross spread across her chest connecting at the back. Once the others had arrived and had taken their seat the Professor began to speak.

"Sorry that I have called you but this is an urgent matter that needs to be attended to now." He cleared his throat. "Some of you might remember Blink well she has been working undercover in an agency that had been showing signs of mutant testing, well yesterday she sent me all the evidence in which I needed to put this agency down, except I got news today that she has been caught out and is being tested." he paused because Blink was a friend of Kitty's and knew she would be upset. "It is our duty to protect mutants as well as fight for equality and you will be set a plan by Scott of your way in which you go into that organisation and delete all the data they have, and back up release and rescue the prisoners some will be wounded and then destroy the place so that they can not use illegal methods again." Once he had finished Scott rushed them all to the black bird.

He split them all into teams Logan, Marie, Jubilee and Scott in one team. Jean, Kitty, Kurt and bobby in another. With Storm and hank with Colossus on the outside if back up is needed. It was Rogues team that had to free the prisoners and Jeans team to destroy the data. The whole operation was going successfully until Magneto turned up. Trucks flying every where the prisoners taking cover Jeans team had managed to destroy the hard drive now it was a matter of getting the prisoners to safety and destroying the place. The problem was that some of the prisoners where listening to what Magneto had to say and helping him.

Rogue got her prisoners that she had rescued on to the black bird going back for more when a piece of metal closed in around her. She used all the powers she could even Magnetos where not working. She knew that the peoples powers she has gained where only halfed when she used them and by the feel of it Magneto was using his powers against her.

On the outside as many prisoners that where rescued where abroad the black bird, Storm was fighting mystique and lost Hank caught her in mind air so she wouldn't fall from above. Logan was fighting off some guards that hadn't given up yet. Jeans team where seeing to the injured people so no one had noticed Rogue had been captured. All Rogue could hear from inside the metal prison was gunshots and loud bangs and everything that would be expected in a battlefield. She felt useless trapped and it wasn't something that she liked. She tried one last time with all her might to free herself nothing worked instead she over charged herself and passed out.

Jean reached out to everyone with her powers and told them to head back to the black bird. Once they all reached the black bird she frowned, as did Logan.

"Where is Rogue" he growled anger riding him because of the fighting.

"I couldn't reach her but normally she reaches me it means one thing she's down." Jean frowned once more.

"What do you mean she's down? She can't be hurt!" Kitty cried

"I don't know I just can't reach her she's out there some where still." With that Scott had a plan.

"Wolverine, Shadow cat, Ice man, Colossus, Night crawler you all stay here and find her we will take these people back to the mansion for safety. We will be back as soon as we can. " Wolverine was the first out of the door he slid in the back ground as to not get seen by any of Magnetos crew. The others kept them busy and Kurt teleported all over the place to see if he could find his sister.

Wolverine used her sent to track her down it was getting stronger then he found he couldn't move. He let out a loud growl "Magneto" The old man just laughed as he landed on the floor in front of him. Wolverine struggled against the hold Magneto had on him without any such luck.

"Save your energy you can not possibly win against me and you know it."

"Where is she?" he snarled at him. Magneto pointed to a huge ball behind him.

"You and her are going to be my little prisoners as well as who ever else wishes to come along for the ride." With that Magneto flung him at the ball, which opened and engulfed him. But before he was engulfed he reached out to Jean who was in the black bird, which was landing again. I'm With Rogue get them all out of here now! He only hopped that she would listen to him. Once inside the big ball he noticed Rogue was on the floor passed out. He didn't want to wake her so he just took a seat next to he. No matter what his instincts where screaming at him about being trapped like an animal he kept his cool. For no one else other than her sakes.

Hours later Rogue awoke she must have fell asleep because she was in a bed except it was somewhere that she didn't recognise which made her panic. Her breathing started to accelerate as she wondered where she was, if it was Magneto who had trapped her if she was going to be okay. She hadn't even registered that her powers where not work or the fact that she wasn't alone.

"Chill darlin' no use worryin' he's usin' us as bait to get Blink," Marie jumped out of her skin hearing some one else but smiled calming down a bit when she knew it was Logan. He was on the other side of the room lying on a sofa. If they where trapped it was real good hospitality. Marie looked around she could see that there was no windows obviously so they couldn't get out or see where they where. Yet there was a fridge and a sofa a little TV and a bed. She had to laugh.

"I could think of worse places to be trapped, what you doing here?" she asked worryingly.

"Magneto and his fuckin' powers dragged me in to the ball you where in. I must admit it is a bit weird for saying we can't get out but at least it's not a cell of any kind." He just shrugged. Marie decided to get up off the bed and join Logan on the sofa stretching as she walked. Logan just turned his head now wasn't the time for perving on Rogue because they where trapped in a cosy room and he was scared of what would happen.

"SOOO "Marie asked as she sat down next to him. Logan just looked at her blankly as if to say what do you mean. She rolled her eyes at him "So why are we bait for blink?"

"I over heard one of Magnetos lackeys saying something about using her to make a better place for mutants, did you know she can teleport in to other dimensions and stuff" She just nodded.

"I'm still surprised I mean yes every 4 years My Mother comes to me and tells me something that Destiny has foreseen for me so that I can make my own choice but this year she hasn't been. Its normally the day before." Mystique would always give her a present every 4 years from Marie's aunt who could foresee the future and different outcomes.

"Maybe she decided to give it a miss this time." Logan scoffed. He loathed Mystique and couldn't understand why Marie would still keep in contact with her after everything that she had done to Marie. That's one thing he liked about Marie she could always see the goodness in people no matter how nasty they are. It was then Logan remembered that he still hadn't given Marie her birthday present. He reached in to his pocket and pulled out a small box. Noticing Marie wonder what he was doing and then all the curiosity that filled her eyes when he gave her the box.

"What is it?" She asked knowing that he wouldn't tell her he motioned for her to open it. She opened the box up and inside was a silver chained necklace with an emerald green centre and diamonds surrounding it. She was stunned it was beautiful.

"Happy Birthday darling" he said loving the joy in her face. Before she could say anything he finished "I was gonna give it to you on the plane ride back to the mansion but now is better then ever" Marie smiled quickly closing the box and throw her self at him for a hug. Logan was a taken back and chuckled at her out burst not really knowing where to put his hands. Then she was crying and he couldn't understand. "Why you crying?" he asked.

"It's been so long since I've spent my birthday with anyone and the necklace is lovely I'm just being silly" she said wiping her tears away and sat up. She took it out of the box and then asked "can you put it on me please?" he just nodded. She turned her back to him moving her hair to one side. Logan was shocked and feeling a bit turned on she had a lovely neck it was so pale and creamy un touched and perfect he just wanted to mark her as his then. But she wasn't his. He placed the necklace around her neck and did it up rubbing circles with his thumbs on the back of her neck as habit. It made Marie purr and he loved it when she did but removed his hands soon after because he didn't trust his self.

She turned back around to him and held the necklace in place liking the way it looked on her skin. Her favourite colour as well only he knew that. "Matches your eyes I knew it would." He said. She smiled saying thanks once more. They sat and watched TV for a while until Marie started to yawn when Logan turned the TV off much to Marie's dislike. "Your tired you need sleep go on now before I drag you over there." He growled

"Ohhh you big bad wolf." She stood up then winked at him saying, "I might like that to much." She had to laugh at his expression on his face when she said that and she did as she walked to the bed. She noticed a little night stand and looked in it. It had a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt. Marie decided that she would just settle for the t- shirt. Logan heard the sound of a zip being undone and had to look over his shoulder to see if she was okay. He wished he hadn't because there was Marie stood there in a t-shirt, which looked to big for her and that was all. He turned back to looking at the TV and all he could see was her stood in front of him in nothing but one of his t-shirts. Her legs lovely and shaped just right leading to a great ass and lovely hips and her breasts where perfect not overly big but not small just right. He just wished he could take that t-shirt off her and just look at her. He was cut off his train of thought when Marie called him.

"Aren't you coming to bed? You can not sleep on that sofa it is way to small for you and this bed is big enough for the both of us." she called to him across the room and he really didn't want to annoy he on her birthday so he got up and huffed over to the bed taking off his suit leaving him stood in front of the bed in his boxers. Marie licked her lip and bit it to stop her from craving to jump him. She wanted to touch his chest that was so full of muscles and his arms around her to hold her tight. To just grope his taught ass. She would have given anything to be able to do all those things to him and others she dreamed of. He got under the quilt this time and missed Marie's smile.

"There you go! You happy now?" he asked in a huff. Which in fact was his way of trying not to be turned on by her closeness and the fact he was already turned on from a minute ago was annoying him because it was Marie he was not suppose to be attracted this much to Marie. The problem was he was. She just smiled at him cuddling up to him. Logan put his arms behind his head like he always did when he was thinking. Marie was cuddled up to him, one of her hands laid on his chest making little circles, which she obviously didn't know he liked a bit too much. She never wanted that moment to leave she wanted to cherish this moment because it was properly going to be the last time that she would be able to get away with it if only he would realised she loved him she thought. Minute later he noticed her breathing was soft and regular meaning she was asleep.

Logan couldn't sleep he had Marie cuddling him and it made parts of his anatomy react when it shouldn't. Yet all he kept think now and then was how he could get use to this. He wanted someone to hug someone to love some one who understood him more than he knew him self and that person was Marie. He growled at him self and she purred in her sleep. Every time she purred all he wanted to do is kiss her silly so she couldn't remember her name. He moved one of his hands from behind his head and placed it on her back gently. Then for once he started to drift to sleep.

When Marie woke up she noticed that Logan was asleep and she was being spooned by him, which was nice except for the fact he was aroused very aroused. Marie wanted to giggle but didn't she just turned around to face him and moaned as she moved because she didn't really want to move. She looked at him blowing on his face long streams of air to wake him up. His hand came up to cover his face but she still didn't stop she giggled aloud this time and his hand crashed down on to her hip pulling her close to him. His eyes where now open and he looked wild in the morning she thought to herself, she loved it, it was a sexy look. Marie smiled innocently at him. "Morning." He just grunted. Marie loved how close she was she could tell he loved it too. They didn't say anything just looked at each other neither knew what to do.

"I guess I should get dressed." Marie said but it sounded as though she asked him Logan just held her close to him. Marie didn't know what made her do it but she knew he wasn't going to make the first move so she took a chance. One of the biggest she had ever taken. She leaned closer to him until her lips barely touched his but stopped waiting for some kind of sign from him to show her it was okay.

Logan smelled her sent change slightly in to nervous then when she came so close to kissing him he knew why. He didn't know what to do he wanted to kiss he so badly but what would happen next would be what he would worry about. He took that risk sliding his hand from her hip to her lower back. Leaning down and meeting her lips slowly and gently nothing like what he would normally be like but he wanted it to be special for some reason. It was Marie who applied more pressure causing Logan to pull her in tighter to him hitching her leg over his waist and kissing her harder. He ran his lip over her lower lip and she gave him access to her he dived in to her mouth taking possession of it making Marie moan.

One of her hands tangled into his hair as there tongues fought an un-winnable battle. She loved his possession of her like this the way he took her over so easily. He noticed her sent change it was aroused and he love her smell loving the feel of her silk body. He swirled his tongue around hers and swallowed her moan, he loved how he could turn her on so much with a kiss. Her leg hocked over his waist meant he had the ability to push his man hood into places he could only dream of but he refused to acknowledge that fact just yet. Instead he just rubbed against her women hood. She had still got her pants on and he his boxers but it still felt good to Marie. She let out a moan when she came up for air. He loved that sound from her he rubbed against her again. This time the moan was loader.

"Surprise!" Kitty shouted as she phased through the door but squealed at the scene before her. Logan and Marie where shocked and Logan chuckled at Marie's embarrassment as she hid beneath the covers. "Like Oh My God! Ewww" Kitty gasped as she turned around away from them "Like get dressed please now! We got to get you out of here like now." Marie was so embarrassed she just rolled out of bed sliding her trousers on and her top being watched by Logan who winked at her this time.

Marie sat on the plane home with one thing in mind Note to self always make sure the door has a lock on your side
