Charlotte was greeted by Logan who was waiting in the front door of her lab.
"Morning Logan" Charlotte smiled brightly at the man who smiled a bit in return. She opened the door and Logan walked behind her and took his usual spot in her seat, with his notepad of course that she gave him.
"How was your night?" Charlotte asked as she was getting some DNA samples from a few mutants and planning on analyzing it. Logan took the time to just look at her of course. He liked observing her and seeing what she does, he noticed that she pouted when something wasn't going to plan.. She would smile brightly when something good happened that her blue eyes shined with happiness.
Logan began to have feelings to her, she was soft-spoken but knew how to defend herself. Like when everyone was at the dinner table and of course Scott was teasing Charlotte about something. Logan was about to tell Scott to piss off until Charlotte made a witty remark about him in his teens which caused everyone to laugh and Scott wanting to hide under the table.
"So you've never met your mother?" Logan said out of the blue. Charlotte stopped what she was doing. Logan's eyes widen as he probably hit a nerve.
"I'm sorry, I just like speaking out loud.. Ignore that question" Logan said trying to dismiss it but Charlotte shook her head
"No... It's fine. It's just usually I just talk about this topic with my dad and father.." She whispered. Logan stood silent until Charlotte spoke
"My mother passed away after I was born, she had a few hours to hold me.. I remember what they told me.. That she looked at me like I was her whole world, cherished me and held me until the very end.. She was crying and saying how much I meant to her and that she wished things were different.. With her and my dad.. Even with her and Charles.. I have an old picture of her and my dad and father.. They took the picture right before their first mission to stop the crisis happening between the United States and Cuba, the look that my mother gave my dad.. It was so full of love, it turned out that they became official the night before" She whispered happily remembering that photo at the stand. Logan smiled softly at her letting her speak
"I just... If I ever have kids, I just want to be in their lives and love and protect them." Charlotte finished. Logan nodding understanding her. The brown-hair woman looked at Logan
"What about you? Any woman in your life currently?" Charlotte asked. Logan shook his head but then grinned "Well there's one, but it's a secret" Logan smiled and Charlotte chuckled before going back to work. She heard Logan's stomach growling and she laughed
"Hungry?" She asked. Logan nodded and she placed her work on hold before taking off her lab coat and placing it on her chair before looking at Logan
"Come on, kids are in class so it gives us a good chance to grab a bite before lunch happens and they run all over the place" Charlotte said. Logan got up and followed her until they made it to the large kitchen. Charlotte digging in the fridge and pulling out ham, bread and many things to make a sandwich
"Please, I can make the sandwiches" Logan said grabbing her hand and pulling her away from the food. She chuckled and leaned on the counter and watched as he started making the sandwiches
"Can I ask you a question? If it's too personal I won't push it" Charlotte asked. Logan stayed silent but nodded anyways
"Do you know how you... started to get your powers?" Charlotte asked. Remembering when she looked into his mind and saw the darkness and other horrible images. Logan frowned and shook his head
"To be honest with you, Char, I don't remember much about how I have these" Logan said extending his claws a bit but put them away as he went to making the sandwiches
"Do you remember anything from the past? Or is it just a blur?" Charlotte asked. Normally if it was other people, Logan would tell them to mind their own business but it was Charlotte.
"There's a few pieces missing.. I wish I can remember everything but it probably won't happen" Logan said finishing the sandwiches and placing them on a plate. Charlotte grabbed his hand and he looked down at their hands touching and looked at her face
"If you ever need help at all, you tell me and I'll be there in a heartbeat" Charlotte vowed to him, Logan stood there silent for a moment.. No one ever in his life had promised to ever help him, it was always him against the world but to know that he had something to look after him, someone who actually cared.
It was nice.
But there was a problem.
Logan has lived hundreds of years, it was nearly impossible for him to die.
That means if he ends up being with Charlotte, he would one day outlive her and by the time she was old, he would still look young. He would literally watch her on her deathbed dying from old age while he was still in his prime.
He pulled his hand away from her as he snorted "I can look after myself, thanks" Logan said, trying to push her away a bit. But Charlotte pulled back and nodded understanding
"Of course, but you know you're not alone.. I'll make sure my father doesn't hurt you" She said but he narrowed his eyes at her
"I don't need protection from you, Charlotte.. I can look after myself" Logan said grabbing his plate and walking off, leaving Charlotte standing there with a frown on her face.
"Help! Somebody help!" A scream echoed the hallways, Charlotte shot up from her bed as she heard Logan's shout for help. She quickly got her robe on and opened the door making a run for it and saw a crowd of children forming in the doorway of Logan's room. She saw Bobby behind and soon Jean and Scott were making their way into the crowd and Charlotte joined. She saw Rouge holding Logan's face and she pulled away leaving her gasping while Logan had fallen to the floor gasping for air, clearly in pain and soon passed out.
"Bobby, start getting the kids back into bed" Charlotte told the older boy who nodded and started to talk to the younger kids, not before Rouge ran off leaving Bobby wanting to chase after her.
"Jean, go after her.. Scott help me get him back to bed" Charlotte said as she pressed her hand on his neck, getting a pulse. She sighed in relief as her hand rested on his cheek and looked at him for a few moments until Scott helped her get him up and into the bed.
'Charlotte, is everything alright? I heard screaming from the children.' Charles quiet voice entered Charlotte's mind. Charlotte looked around and then she remembered that Charles was probably still in bed
'There was an accident, Rouge touched Logan.' Charlotte sighed softly as Scott looked at her and frowned until it clicked in his mind
"You're speaking to Charles" Scott said while Charlotte nodded
"He's just wondering what happened" Charlotte said looking down at Logan, Scott snorted as he wanted to narrow his eyes but he knew Charlotte couldn't see
"I don't know what you see in him, he's nothing but trouble" Scott said, clearly disapproving Logan. Charlotte snorted and looked at Scott
"If I wanted an approval, I would go wake up my biological father but I know he wouldn't approve on him either.. He never approved of anyone who dated me.. It was always Charles who went easy on them" Charlotte said, clearly remembering why she didn't have a steady dating life.. Not when you have a father who could bend metal and probably lock a boyfriend in a metal tomb. Then there was Scott who could blast a boyfriend away.
"Not that it was easy dating anyways.. 'Hello! My name is Charlotte Jones, I happen to be a mutant that could bend the four elements around me.. I won't harm you I promise.'" Charlotte said dryly and Scott chuckled. Soon they heard the door opening and saw Charles wheeling in.
"Scott, you could go back to bed.. I just need Charlotte here so she could keep her eyes in him" Charles said. Scott sighed but nodded as he kissed Charlotte's head and bid Charles a goodnight before heading back to bed.
"He's fine, just recovering from the shock" Charlotte said looking at Logan for a moment before Charles came closer to Logan and Charlotte and looked at Logan
"You could go back to sleep if you want, Charlie.. I could watch over him" Charles offered. Charlotte smiled but shook her head
"As a doctor, I should stay and make sure he's alive at least" Charlotte said while Charles smirked and gave Charlotte a look and she blushed
"Whatever you say, Doctor Jones.. You know.. You're like your mother, very caring" Charles whispered remembering his first love and best friend. Although he had lost her, he gained a daughter in Charlotte.
"What ever you say, Professor Xavier." Charlotte said as she took a seat in the loveseat next to Logan's bed. She soon began falling asleep.
She swore she felt a large hand on hers and it stood there, but she didn't bother waking up because she knew whose hand it was.
Author's Note:
Two chapters in two days!
Logan and Charlotte's relationship in the first movie is just friends, although both are pretty aware of their crushes on each other but those who have read the last chapter of the Savior and the X-Men have known that Charlotte and Logan's relationship will blossom in the second movie when she tells him the story of how her parents have met.
Next Chapter:
Rouge goes missing and Logan goes to the train station, but he gets a second set of hands to join him looking for her.
Will Erik break his own rule of harming his daughter in order to capture Rouge?
I also have hopes of writing and AU of X-Men Apocalypse in which Olivia survived the child-birth and raised Charlotte. But the thing is I don't know when it would be written because in 2017 I'll be writing three stories (Including the Days of Future Past and possibly the canon Apocalypse)
Review! Until next chapter!
