"Does anyone know where Carol is, or Peter?" Jessica asked the assorted Avengers in the room.

"No, I gave them the day off." Captain America stated. "Why?"

"Well I got a text from Carol saying that they've finally said 'I love you' to each other and I need to talk to her about it. But if they're taking the day off that means they're probably… you know I don't even want to think about it."

"They said 'I love you'? Aww they're so cute." Squirrel girl said.

"Yeah, and I'm gonna have to wait until tomorrow to talk to her about it." Jess groaned.

"How long have they been going out now?" Bobbi asked.

"Well it's been 4 months since they announced it to everyone, 5 months since I found out and 6 since…" Jess turned and looked to the mutant in the room. "Logan!"

"No." Wolverine growled.

"Come on, I need to talk about this and you're the person whose known the longest."

"But I don't get involved in stuff like that."

"You must've. Come on I don't know anything about that first month, you have to tell me about it."

"Logan, d'you think they'll get married?" Bobbi asked.

"Don't care."

"Pete will probably make you best man, if you knew while they were sneaking around." Ben said.

"Don't care."

"During that first month where would they go on dates?" Jessica Jones asked.

"No idea."

"Did that drug bust on the boat happen while they were together?" Luke questioned.

Wolverine looked up at this with an expression on his face as if he was casting his mind to the past. "Can't remember."

"What advice did you give Spider-man that made him ask Carol out?" Jess asked.

"Advice?" He said angrily as though the secret was out, Jess wore a look of triumph. "Oh, that's right I said 'ask her out, don't ask her out, I don't care just quit bitching to me about it.'"

"That's not true." Jess moaned, though she couldn't say that with confidence. It did sound like the sort of thing he'd say and the sort of thing Spider-man would take confidence from.

"That's how I remember it." Logan huffed.

"So d'you know how many dates they've been on?"

"How many times have they done it?"

"Ooh, can you imagine what they're children will be like, with her looks and his brains and both of their powers."

"Hey Logan, you'll be best man and I'll be maid of honour!" Jess exclaimed. "How cool will that be… Logan?"

At this point Logan had started to get up out of his seat and walk away.

"Come on Logan, you haven't even told us if they've talked about their future."

Wolverine broke out into run and crashed through the window, not caring at this point that they were in one of the highest points in New York.


Spider-man and Captain Marvel were walking along the street, hand-in-hand talking and reminiscing.

"And then I said 'except the dignity of knowing I never carried a man-purse*.'" Carol gave a small laugh. "which just…"

Spider-man stopped as his spider-sense warned him of impending danger. He pulled Carol backwards.

CRASH

Right in front of them a giant crater had formed, and inside was…

"Logan?" Carol asked, shocked.

"Next time, Bug," Wolverine croaked, his voice menacing despite his predicament, "don't involve me."

Jess chose that moment to land beside the crater.

"Jess what happened?" Peter asked.

"We were just asking him about you two and he jumped out the window!" Jess said, trying to appease herself of guilt. She didn't think her actions had warranted this.

"I told you when we started dating that Buster wouldn't tell anyone." Pete said in triumph.

"Yes, and I can't argue that you were right."

"But, you know, we've told people now, Gromit. I'm sure if you just told them what you knew they'd have left you alone."

That was the last thing Logan heard before he finally passed out.


That night it was just Jessica Drew and a healed Logan who were at the top of the Avengers tower.

"Now that it's just the two of us will you tell me the advice you gave Spider-man."

"Already did."

"I know that was horse-crap, Logan. Come on just tell me, I won't tell anyone else."

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"James Howlett, how long have we known each other?"

"No."

"But Carol doesn't know and Pete won't tell me."

"If Carol can't get it out of Pete what makes you think you can get it out of me?"

"Persistence."

"I'll jump out of the window again."

"You tried that and I'm still asking."

Logan growled and thought about the last thing the spider had said: 'I'm sure if you just told them what you knew they'd have left you alone.' Logan sighed.

"Fine, just… shut up." Jess's face had a mask of victory plastered to it. "He didn't think he was a good enough superhero for Carol. I told him that was stupid because he's one of the best ones I know. There. Happy?"

"That's. So. Sweet!" Jess squealed and hugged the Wolverine. "You're like a little teddy bear. Or like a proud uncle. That was so nice of you. Pete will definitely have to make you best man. I bet it felt really good too, acting like human being for a change..."

Thankfully the window to the Avengers tower had been smashed and the ground beneath it already cratered so Logan incurred no further property damage when he leapt from the building this time.
