The morning came too soon for them all, the kids were restless all through breakfast. Magneto was in quiet conversation with Mystic and they hardly ate the food she had prepared. Jean had been watching her and Logan all morning, she felt her eyes on her now. Rogue didn't mention their late night family moment, so she figured it was best left alone for now. Logan was clearing the mess from the campsite, he had eaten earlier when she was cooking, but he was probably thirsty again. She grabbed a ice cold water bottle and walked over to the Blackbird where he was loading up the equipment.

"Logan." She said softly, he didn't startle he merely turned around and smile at her.

"Ro" His voice was smooth and it did funny things to her body. She held out the water bottle.

"I assumed you would be thirsty. Moving all that heavy equipment, wasn't the easiest thing you could have done this morning." She blushed as she thought her comment through. He took her hand gently pulling her into the ship and out of the sight of the rest of them. He cupped her face and kissed her deeply, she felt her legs turn into jelly and she leaned into him. She buried her fingers in his hair and let them have this moment. After a few minutes they broke apart and she took calming breaths to slow her heartbeat. He gently stroked her cheek,

"When this is over, I'm taking you out on a real date."

"I would like that very much, Logan." She just took in his face, he was watching her with such affection, until he suddenly tensed up. It only took her a minute to understand that they were not alone.

"Jean."

She had watched them all morning long, enough to confirm her suspicions. Storm had prepared breakfast and Logan kept accidentally brushing up against her. He had even helped with some of the slicing and dicing, then with a whisper into Storm's ear, he'd disappeared to pack up the campsite. She had seen them watching eachother from time to time. When she saw Storm disappear into the Blackbird she waited and then decided now was the best time to tell them they had her blessing. She listened and only heard mumbled voices so she proceded. She stopped shocked at what she saw, her sister in everything but blood, not controlled or calm but letting her emotions fly as she kissed the man in front of her deeply. She watched Logan kiss her and then stroke her cheek lovingly. He had never looked at her that way before, never been that at peace in her presence. She knew the moment he detected her presence,

"Jean."

"Logan. Ororo."

"This isn't."

"Ororo, I understand. I should have seen it sooner, and I'm sorry I didn't. You two are the perfect match. Logan is calmer, around you Ororo. You let loose when he is around, other then that you never let anyone in. I'm not here to interfer only to say if you two decide to do this, I'm on board with it. You have my blessing, but Logan you hurt her and I will make you believe you are a teenage girl forever." She turned and left them alone. She ordered the children to hurry up, she was anxious to get Scott back. 'Professor hold on we're coming.'

Peter was restless, he wanted to be out there helping the other X-men. Mara watched as he tried the communications again.

"This is Colussuss. X-Men please respond." The buzz of radio static was his only reply. She walked across the hall to the rec room where the others sat watching a movie. She did a quick head count,

"All accounted for Peter." She whispered as he walked up behind her. Peter was worried about the lack of contact, "This is why this place is a safe house, the radio static just proves we are safe." I felt one of the younger student listening in and I pulled Peter away and outside. The sun was just setting and he was looking at me in confusion.

"One of the kids was listening. We do not need them worried and panicking. Remember what Wolverine taught us? The best offence is a good defense. We are the only thing between those kids and the bad guys. We have some of the older kids as backup. This place doesn't appear on any radar and anyone who approaches will lose their memory of what they were doing here in the first place. The Professor's name isn't even on the deed to this house, Moira McTaggert's is. This can't be traced to mutants in any way."

"You are right Mara. It is just the fact that we have no idea what is going on. They could be dead, and we could be all that is left of the X-men.Я боюсь, вот и все."(I am worried is all)

"Peter, it will be fine. Имейте веру, они сильнее, чем они пусть дальше."(Have faith, they are stronger then they let on.) We watched the sun disappear and then returned to the house to feed the kids.
