Once they arrived home Marie didn't know what to do but first things first she had to go to debriefing with the rest of them. She court up with Kitty before they all went into the war room. She held Kitty against the wall smiling at everyone who passed by and when she was sure that they where all inside waiting for the Professor she turned towards her.

"Like what's up?" Kitty said looking a bit scared. Marie let her go and replied

"What you saw never happened if I hear you mention it to anyone it will be you I'm coming after." Kitty just nodded her head and went into the war room followed by Marie who sat next to her. Bobbie gave Kitty a confused look and Kitty just gave him the I'll tell you later look that Marie didn't see.

Soon the Professor came in followed by Hank and Strom and they took there spots around the table.

"Well as you can see we have got Rogue and Wolverine back and Blink will be contacting us sometime soon."

"Where is Blink?" asked Rogue butting in when she knew she shouldn't have but she wanted to know.

"The only reason Magneto wanted Blink was to go to a place which is in his past Blink said she would do it so to get you back and believe it or not Magneto will send her back when he has completed what it was he was going to do." He paused looking at all the worried faces "Do not panic he can not change anything and we have spoke I have his word one which he doesn't go back on. There is nothing else except that Rogue you need to have a check up with Hank and then I would like to see you in my office." She just nodded agreeing not really understanding what it was that he wanted.

After her check up She headed down to see the Professor and his office doors where open inside was Storm, Jean, Logan and the Professor. She was a bit cautious as to what it was that was going on but didn't let on.

"We understand that Magneto got the better of you on the battle field except we can not understand why he managed to capture you since you have powers to your grasp could you not have escaped." Was he questioning her loyalty she wondered but didn't say it out loud she also blocked her thoughts then sat down in a seat.

"He has found away to block our powers I was fighting him and some metal encased me but I couldn't get free I tried everything. I was trapped. I short circuited myself." Rogue said embarrassed bowing her head.

"Do not worry with great power such as yours comes a fault and yours is to not over do it I thought you knew that by now Rogue." The Professor said watching her

"I was trapped I didn't know what to do I crashed and burned I wasn't going to be able to get out anyway no one knew where I was." She said trying not to argue.

"That is okay we just wondered why it was that you got caught so easily. Now I think you should go and get something to eat and then get some rest you have a long school day tomorrow I hope you have your classes prepared." Rogue just nodded and smiled getting up and leaving. She wasn't hungry so she didn't eat instead she went up to her room and looked out into the distance that was the grounds because she didn't feel like walking. She sat on the balcony and just looked out for hours she had a blanket so she wouldn't get cold because the sun would set soon.

All her emotions where running high. She couldn't understand what had happened that morning. Why did he kiss her? Why did she want him to kiss her so much? She asked herself thousands of questions coming up with hardly any answers. She could touch yet no man seemed to come within two feet of her because they either new her power or they didn't like her attitude but maybe it was because she just wasn't attractive. She thought.

He made her smile and it wasn't just put on. He made her laugh. He even held her when she cried. He taught her all she knew even things about bikes. He was the one she would always turn to. He was her best friend. But would he be with her if she asked him silently

It was her down fall analysing every little thing she would ask her self questions she didn't know the answers to and then confuse her self even more. Lists where what she was good at but even then she seemed to be coming up with questions she didn't need.

"Rogue" There came a knock on her door. It was Betsy she let her self in and saw Rogue sat outside. Approaching she asked "Why you sitting out here? Its getting cold out" Her and Rogue where close she was worried when she didn't show up for dinner.

"Just thinking is all." She said back to her purpled haired friend. Betsy smiled sitting on the balcony floor opposite her and said.

"I know what happened with you and Wolverine Kittys Mind is running twice as fast as it normally is she might as well be shouting it out to the whole school." Rogue just sighed.

"I don't want to talk about it."

"That's because you don't know what to think about it babe he's hott stuff and you need someone like him to bring you out of your shell before your locked in forever." Her English accent made her sound like a therapist. Rogue just looked out a head of her.

"Its not what I need, its what does he want? I don't want just sex I wouldn't even know what to do. I want some one who is going to be there for me and care for me Logan aint that type of Guy." She sighed again continuing "He's my best friend and that's all he will ever be."

"And what all this sexual tension you two have built up is gonna disappear everyone knows that you two are friends Rogue some even think you should try for more." laughed Betsy. Rogue just shock her head.

"I don't know anything anymore Betsy." Rogue whispered.

"Me you girly shopping tomorrow no I wont tell anyone and we'll get you some outfits that will have Logan's eyes popping out." She paused then continued, "what do you say?" Rogue didn't think it would work but nodded anyway she never argued with what Betsy had to say because she new she was always right. "Good now stop the mopping and get something to eat!" Even if Max was seeing Betsy her and Rogue made sure that he didn't come between there friendship.

With that she left but Marie wasn't hungry so she didn't go and get anything in fact she didn't move at all. She stayed on the balcony looking up at the stars wishing they would answer some of her list of wishes. It was false hope to even think Logan would be interested in a relationship. But she would take one day at a time form now on and see how it went.

Logan Walked down the halls it was half 12 it was just his usual rounds. But he stopped outside her door. The women that had been plaguing his mind all day and he just thought to himself what had possessed him to do it. She was his best friend yet he's been perving on her since he got back. Apart of him answered him Who where you to know she'd grow up into a feisty women she's not a kid no more. He frowned he couldn't smell her. He opened the open quietly peaking around it noticing the balcony doors where open.

Walking into the room he was quiet in case something had happened to his Marie. she is not mine he kept telling himself. He crept over to the balcony windows looking out. There he saw her snuggled up on a chair with a blanket to keep her warm a sleep. He noticed she was shivering and with out thinking twice he instantly went to pick her up, she didn't stir so he set her gently down of her bed tucking her in kissing her forhead then closing the windows.

He just stood there not knowing how long for, he took in her beauty. He sighed to himself watching the delicate way her chest rose and fell, how her lips where parted but just slightly. The beauty that was her eyes lightly coved by her eyelids as if she was blinking. He shape and form was perfection to him and yet he could never have her as his, she deserves someone who would give her everything she ever wanted.

Bring himself back to reality he kissed her on the forehead softly even though her lips where oh so tempting he resisted. A sweet sigh of contentment left her lips before he made it though the door.

"Logan"

He stood dead in his tracks looking back at her but she was sound asleep her wonderful smile in place. He shut the door deciding his rounds where done for tonight he walked back to his room. He was confused by her softly spoken whisper of his name. She was such a perfect picture to look at and had a personality that only his dream women had then he realises one thing.

She was his dream woman.
