A/N I know I'm messing with the movie a lot. It's not that I don't love the movies, it's just I'm Team Logan/Ororo. So I like to play around with certain moments in the movie. Anyway onto the story...

She tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She could feel something lurking, like a nightmare you simply cannot remember, but were afraid of just the same. She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling of her tent. She could see the outline of the trees above her, suddenly she heard a whimper. She stood up and moved out of her tent, she saw Rogue. She walked over to her,

"Marie?" She questioned softly, not wanting to startle her. Marie turned around and wiped her eyes.

"Hey mom." She mumbled, Ororo wrapped her arms around her.

"Whats the matter?" Marie hugged her suddenly, and started to cry again. Her heart broke for the younger woman, unable to be close to those she loved, and wanting nothing more then to be close to them. After a few minutes she relaxed, and loosened her hold on Ororo.

"Thanks." Marie said smiling at her, "They only got six."

She was startled by Marie's sudden information,

"The men, Stryker's men. They only got six of the kids, Jubilee was one of them. Peter and Mara got the rest out, he was taking them into the mountains. They should be safe with him."

"How do you know this? Are you sure?" Marie nodded at her,

"They got out, the van was missing when we took Scott's car and left." She felt another wave of love for Marie,

"Thank you, honey. Now what is bothering you? You don't usually wake up in the middle of the night, crying. I would know seeing as I am usually still awake at this hour."

"It's all of this. The school being attacked, working with him again, the danger we're in, and it's all too much." She heard him move behind her and felt him wrap his arms around them both. Marie let out a silent sob and hugged them both. She felt something different about the way he was holding her, it felt like they were a family. He had always cared about Marie, since the day he'd delivered her to them. She knew he felt like she was family, and he protected his family. Marie stopped shaking and her tears subsided. She loosened her hold on them and slowly stepped back,

"Thank you...I needed that. My foster mom used to hold me when I cried, before all this started. I thought it was a childish thing to do, being comforted by your mom." Logan smiled at her,

"Anytime you need a hug, come find me. Just not in front of Scott."

"What he means is we're here for you. Good night, child." Marie tiptoed back to her tent. Leaving them standing there by themselves.

"Good Night Logan." She turned to leave and he grabbed her arm,

" 'Ro. We need to talk." His voice and touch made goosebumps appear on her arms.

"Yes, we do. Once you figure out what you want, come a find me." She moved to leave him there and he pulled her to him.

"Maybe I already did 'Ro."

"Really? And what is it that you want?"

He heard Marie crying so he went to check on her. He saw Ororo was already there, comforting her. He walked over and wrapped them both in a hug. The feeling of rightness that he felt startled him, like this is where he belonged. She didn't tense up when he touched her which was a good sign. He stood there until Marie moved out of the hug.

"Thank you...I needed that. My foster mom used to hold me when I cried, before all this started. I thought it was a childish thing to do, being comforted by your mom." He smiled at her,

"Anytime you need a hug, come find me. Just not in front of Scott." He saw her fight a grin back,

"What he means is we're here for you. Good night, child." Marie tiptoed back to her tent. Leaving them standing there by themselves. He stood there in silence and suddenly Ororo moved to leave.

"Good Night Logan." He grabbed her arm,

" 'Ro. We need to talk." He whispered,

"Yes, we do. Once you figure out what you want, come a find me." She moved to leave him there and he pulled her to him.

"Maybe I already did 'Ro."

"Really? And what is it that you want?" She questioned him,

"This." He kissed her roughly, pulling her closer to him. She clung to him and deepened the kiss. He put a hand on her hip and held onto her. She moaned again and then pushed him back.

"Logan, we have to focus on the mission. After we can decide where this is going. Together." He nodded at her. She kissed his cheek and walked back to her tent, leaving him staring after her. 'This mission couldn't be over fast enough for him.' He walked back to his tent deep in thought. A woman watched them from her tent, she felt a tear roll down her face. She knew she should be happy for her friends, that is was selfish to want both Logan and Scott for herself. Tomorrow she would give them her blessing.

R&R it inspires me.
