The day had gone by uneventfully. Logan spent the day exploring the mansion and it's outer regions, and Brooke just went about her normal business doing this and that, staying busy.

Everyone was starting to head down stairs for dinner. It was one of Storm's special dinners. Once a week she prepared dinner for the whole mansion, and it was always delicious.

Brooke got down a little late, which was no surprise considering she was never on time for anything. She almost paused next to Logan who gave her a small smile. She got butterfly's in her stomach and smiled back, but kept walking. She ended up across the table from him, next to Trixie.

"You did that on purpose." she leaned over and mumbled in Trixie's ear, so Logan couldn't hear. She was referring to her sitting so close to Logan.

Trixie smirked a bit. "I have no idea what you are talking about, dear."

"Mmm, sarcasm doesn't look good on you."

"But it looks great on you." Trixie said giving her a wink.

Everyone around them was talking. Except them. Brooke, Trixie, Logan, and Tony were all silently picking at their food.

Trixie looked up from her food and put her fork down. She put her elbow on the table and propped her chin up on her hand. She was now staring at Logan. He looked up when he felt her stare, and cocked an eyebrow at her.

"So Wolvie, I have a question." she finally asked.

Brooke looked at her worried of what she was gonna ask, but Logan just cocked his head to the side. "Ya gonna ask it, or ya gonna stare at me all night?"

Tony and Brooke both snickered, but Trixie didn't seem to notice. "Do you take steroids, or do you just work out like 30 times a day?"

"Trixie!" Brooke's voice rose.

Tony had a laughing fit and Logan just looked at Trixie. Both of their faces were completely serious.

"What makes you ask that?"

Her eyes grew wide as she answered him. "Dude, your like all muscle. Seriously, it's crazy. Really sexy, don't get me wrong. But crazy!"

He gave a cocky grin and shrugged. "I only work out about forty-five minutes to an hour, but I'm pretty active."

"Wow. That's amazing. Anyway I got to go. Jake and I are catching a movie." she said getting up. She leaned down and whispered in Brooke's ear. "Talk to him, Sparky." She stood back up straight and looked at the men. "Bye, Tony. Bye, Wolvie. Catch ya later." she said loudly, walking away.

They sat their a few more minutes before Brooke spoke. "I think I'm gonna go outside a few minutes." she said, getting up from the table.

Logan thought about it for a minute, then got up and followed her.

Tony looked confused. "Hey, where are you going... Okay I see how it is. Everybody just leave Tony out, great. I guess I'll just sit here and eat like alone like a loser." He looked over and saw several students giving him odd looks. He just stuck his tongue out at them and continued eating.

Logan found her just as she was about to go out the front door of the mansion. "Hey, Angel. Wait a sec." he said running up to her.

She turned around to look at him. She had already put her on her leather jacket. He stopped for a minute almost forgetting what he was going to say. Her jacket was tight, fitted and rather low cut. She looked amazing in it.

Logan looked at her. "Um... Uh, do you maybe wanna go for a ride?" he asked nervously.

She didn't answer at first, and he was starting to worry. "Your bike or mine?" she finally replied, with a small grin.

He grinned back and grabbed his jacket. "Mine's bigger." he said still grinning.

She moved over so she was almost touching him, and whispered in his ear. "I sure hope so."

That made him chuckle a bit. He opened the door and motioned for her to go.

When they got to his bike she looked at him curiously. "So where we goin' big guy?"

"Uh, well... I'm not really sure."

She let out a small chuckle. "I do. I'll tell you where to go. It's about an hour away though."

He shrugged. "I've got time."

"We might wanna grab a blanket. This place isn't exactly indoors."

He ran up and got a big blanket. After he tied it to the back, they both got on and headed off.

The trip didn't feel like an hour. He would've liked it to have lasted a lot longer. Her head was resting against his back, her arms were wrapped around his middle. He didn't want her to let go.

When they got there, he turned off the bike and grabbed her hands before she got off. He brought them up to his face and kissed them gently. He didn't know why he did it, or what possessed him to do it. But it seemed like the thing to do at the time. When he let go of her hands he sighed, and she leaned up and kissed his top of his head sweetly, before getting off the bike. It surprised him a little, but it made him smile a little.

When he got off he grabbed the blanket, and grinned. "So is this where you try to kill me? Cause I gotta tell ya, I've tried. It ain't easy."

***Flashback***

"Brooke?" Logan whispered.

"Hmm?"

"Do you think they could kill us? ...I mean, I've... It doesn't work." he said, still whispering.

"I know. But there has to be some way right? No one can live forever." she said.

"...How many times... have you tried?"

She sighed, and shrugged sadly. "Five, I think... You?"

"Lost count." he said quietly, but stoically.

***End Flashback***

He shook his head a little at the memory.

She gave him a concerned look. "You okay?"

He nodded. "Yeah, I just... I keep re... never mind."

"You can talk to me, ya know?"

He nodded again."I know, darlin'. Just not sure if I wanna make my problems, yours. Doesn't exactly seem fair."

"The way I see it... Your problems are already mine, so might as well share."

"Just remembering. I keep remembering you. Things we said to each other, things we did. Nothing else. Nobody else. Where were we?"

She grabbed his free hand and pulled gently. "Come on. Let's get settled before we get into any deep discussions here."

They appeared to be in the middle of nowhere. He had parked his bike on some sort of trail, and now they were going deeper into the woods. He heard water some where near. He didn't ask any questions, he trusted her. Though he did wonder where they were going.

"It's just through here." she said. She still had his hand and didn't appear to have any desire to let go. He looked down at hem and grinned.

"Here we are." she said.

He looked up. They were in a huge opening. There was a small waterfall that ran into a lake. The trees were beautiful. There was even a weeping willow. The moon was full and close to the earth so it lit the area, and reflected on lake.

Logan's mouth hung open. "Holy shit. Where'd you find this place?"

She grinned, and moved forward taking him with her. "I don't know. I took off one night, and just drove. I found that trail and then just started walking. Ended up finding this."

"Nobody else knows about it?"

"Honestly I haven't seen anybody on the roads out here, let alone right here."

She reluctantly let go of his hand and took the blanket, spreading it out right by the lake. The ground was at an angle, so she sat facing the lake. That way when she lied down her feet would be lower than her head. He sat next to her and waited patiently.

"Logan, do you remember how we met?"

He shook his head. "Well, I remember meeting. Just... Not how. Or where."

She nodded and looked away.

He saw her eyes start to glisten, and he smelt salt. "Angel?" he said, softly.

She shuddered at that, and put her head in her hands. She took deep breaths trying to stay together.

When she lifted her head and looked at him, with watery eyes. "Do you know who gave me that name?" she asked quietly.

He searched her eyes a moment then nodded slowly. "I did." he whispered.

"You did." she confirmed. "And you're the only one that's ever called me that. The only one that ever will... Did you know until yesterday I hadn't cried in ten years. Not since the day you died. And I tried, so many times to die myself... But I couldn't. I didn't understand why it killed you, but not me." Her voice was slowly rising and a tear escaped her eye. He wanted to brush it away, but held back. "And if it wasn't for Trixie I'd probably be in jail. She bailed me out to many times to count. And now you're back and you're here, in front of me and you can't remember and I'm falling apart. I watched you die! I remember. I can't forget. I can't forget you in that tank struggling. I can't forget that god damned heart monitor flat lining, or you not moving anymore. I can't."

Logan moved closer to her and enveloped her in a hug. She clung to him, and he held her just as tight. She let out a sob and he held her tighter, kissing her hair. "It's okay, baby. Everything's alright."

He pulled back slightly. She had her eyes closed. "Open your eyes, Angel. Look at me."

***Flashback***

"Stay with me, baby. Open your eyes, look at me." he waited till she did, then continued whispering softly.

"Trust me." he whispered, pulling out of her. "Just you and me. I'm not gonna hurt you." she let out another sob, a tear finding it's way down her cheek.

He kissed the tear away and slowly pushed back inside her. She started crying, begging him not to stop. He whispered to her the whole time, making sure she knew it was just them.

***End Flashback***

She opened her eyes, and a tear slid down his cheeks. He let out a shaky breath. "What happened?" he whispered.

"We were in a lab, Logan... We were experiments. That's how we got these." she said, releasing her claws, then retracting them. "It's what killed you... For a while anyway. I went first. Everything went exactly as planned. I went in, came out with adamantium laced bones. When it was your turn, you made me promise I would run, if you didn't make it... When you flat lined, it took everything I had to turn and run. Massacred a few people, made it out. I ran until I couldn't see the building, then hit the ground. I felt like I couldn't breath. It started raining, I passed out, and when I woke up I was at the mansion. Trixie had found me and drug me out of there."

He looked at her a long moment before saying anything. "I'm sorry."

"For what, love? It's not your fault."

"Then why do I feel like it is?" his voice was shaking.

She put her hand on the back of his head and put his forehead to hers. He seemed to calm a little. "There wasn't anything you could do."

He put his hands in her hair. "I really wanna kiss you." he whispered.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

He closed the small space between them and kissed her. It was slow and unhurried, but intimate and passionate. It slowly deepened. He layed them down and covered her body with his. When he pulled back he kissed her forehead. "Logan, don't stop." she begged.

He searched her face. "As much as I want to, it's a little cold out here, darlin'. I don't want you to freeze."

She nodded and curled into him. He wrapped the blanket around them and wrapped an arm tightly around her.

She lifted her head slightly, to look at him. "I'll tell you everything, I promise. Just... not all at once."

"Take all the time you need, baby. I'm not goin' anywhere."

She layed her head back down and got comfortable.

"Night, Logan."

"Night, Angel." He kissed her hair one more time and they both fell asleep easily in each others arms, for the second night in a row.

Reviews are wonderful! I will update soon, I promise.
