Thanks to my wonderful reviewers and my amazing readers...even those who don't review. Seriously I love to hear whether you loved it, hated it, or answer any questions you might have. I have always been drawn to the Logan/Ororo (Rolo or Loro) and the idea of them being parents to Marie and the other X I need to know which X kids you guys wanna see, I'm looking to add some more to the story. Anyway on with the story,
Her head was filled with stray thoughts, each one fighting for her attention. She had been shocked by Jean's quick acceptence of her and Logan. She only hoped the rest of them would be alright with it too, Scott was more likely to be unhappy with her choice. Her biggest fear was she would disappoint the Professor by deciding to be with Logan. Logan, he was in her thoughts as well. The feeling of him watching her and then his presence behind her.
"Darlin, how much longer until we get to Alkali lake? Marie and Bobby are getting restless."
"Another thirty minutes Logan." She replied keeping her eyes on the sky in front of her. She rolled her shoulders trying to relieve the tension. He slowly massaged her shoulders. She closed her eyes and set the autopilot,
"You need some time off 'Ro." He whispered and she nodded absently. She knew they would be facing a danger none of them may walk away from. She fought the tears that threatened to fall, she could lose any one of them. She knew he must of felt her tense up,
" 'Ro it'll be ok. We'll make it through this." He said it with such conviction, that she longed to believe him. He kissed her head and tightened his hand on her shoulder. Jean chose that moment to interfere,
"Storm, get the landing gear ready." Jean intructed, "Everyone ready?"
"Yes, Red." They landed the plane and she fought back the feeling of foreboding that swept over her. She looked at Marie, Bobby, and John.
"You three stay here. DO NOT LEAVE this plane. Do you understand?"
"Yes Storm" the boys choursed.
"Yes mom." Marie replied, earning her shocked looks. Marie winked at her and smiled.
"Be careful. All of you." Marie seemed to focus on Jean for a moment as if she felt something was off. She looked at her questioningly, before Marie shook her head.
"Let's go." They left the plane following Magento into the compound...
Peter watched the boys gather wood for the fire and shifted anxiously, he wanted them back inside the safety of the house. He knew that they were as Kitty said "sitting ducks". He tried to take comfort in the fact that Mara had all the girls and the youngest boys inside with her. He had only agreed to take the older boys that had been training in the Danger room, since they had some experience. He remembered the night they had to flee very clearly, being woken up by screaming. Seeing Kitty running through the walls waking as many as she could. He was brought back to the present by the sound of splintering wood. He turned around quickly activating his powers,
"Cannonball! Multiple! Berzerker! Sunspot! Where are you?" He noticed the piles of wood chopped up and left unattended. He heard the sound again and ran in the direction of it. He heard voices and slowed just in time to see the boys building a tree house.
"What are you doing? You are supposed to be gathering wood for the fireplace. Not Играя. (Playing around.) Мара будет иметь все наши шкуры. (Mara is going to have all our hides.) Come on gather up the rest of the wood and let's get back to the house. The girls should be ready with lunch by now." He kept his eyes on the boys as they dutifully gathered the wood and went inside. He heard laughter coming from the kitchen and went to check in on Mara and the girls. He smelled roasted chicken and deli sandwiches. He peeked in the bowls spread out on the counter and saw salad, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and potato chips. He went to sneak a chip when Mara hurried in,
"Hey Peter." She snatched the oven mitts and pulled open the oven, she carried out four cookie sheets with double chocolate chip cookies. The smell filled the kitchen,
"That is a lot of cookies. Are you sure we can eat them all?" He questioned, to his suprise she laughed loudly.
"Pete, lighten up. Yes I made lots of cookies and there are two huge cakes in the fridge. They need a sense of normalcy and that's what I'm giving them. Now go get the kids, it's time for lunch." He let her shoo him out of the kitchen and went to find the children for lunch.
Alright thanks to my readers and reviewers. Please in your review leave me the names and powers/codenames of your favorite X-kids. Jubliee is in Stryker's compound though, just like in the movie.
