Rachel lost herself in that kiss, as if they were back where they used to be, back in Rachel's past while Logan felt like she could be his future. He didn't care what happened, he wanted to fight. He saw the power and control she had and it inspired him to continue fighting no matter how bleak it may seem

Could he help Rachel see that as well. He didn't know, but he knew now he wanted all of her. He wanted to fight for her. He wanted to kiss away the tears, Rachel didn't care anymore as her guard was down, allowing herself to be swept away in Logan's kisses, she wanted to feel him again, that she didn't have to fight alone. That he was with her.

Logan led her to the bed still holding on to her, kissing every inch of her while she unbuttoned his shirt. "Don't leave me" she muttered wrapping her arms around his neck as he lifted her onto the bed. She was stripped of everything in front of him, her guard was down. Just like in her time, hoping this time he was right and it would be different. He laid her down and leaned over top of her looking down into her eyes. He saw it all, all of her. Just as she saw all of him. He understood the feelings she had for him, because he felt them too.

Logan woke the next morning expecting to fell Rachel next to him. The contentment he felt was so new to him, like what happened between them was right all along. But when he reached for Rachel, he found nothing. "Rachel?" he said softly lifting his head from the pillow. She was gone.

He lifted himself up from his stomach and scanned the area remembering where he was

Nothing.

He slide up and swung his legs over the bed and leaned over his knees trying to wake up.

Rachel tried to shake her moment of weakness last night. There was no chance she could let herself feel for Logan the way she used to. Not after what had happened in her time, and not now after seeing him almost die again. Part of her feared Jean finding out as well. The pressure her mother was putting on her was starting to scare Rachel, the stress Jean was under to read Rachel is only making Jean stronger. If Jean found out about her and Logan, she didn't know what would happen.

Logan approached Rachel from behind with caution as he looked around for the others. "Remy is finding some breakfast and Rouge and Jubilee are in the washroom" Rachel answered

Logan nodded, "I guess you wanted first crack at the showers then huh" he said trying to figure out why she'd left.

Rachel looked at her feet while Logan reached for her face, "I kept my word last night, but you didn't" he said

Rachel looked up at him, at the man she once knew, finally looking at her the way he used to. "I didn't mean just for last night" she said looking away again, "I meant for ever and you can't promise me that" she stepped away

Logan held on to her, his grip firm but still gentle that send Rachel into a spiral of emotion. The way he asserted his dominance over her drove her wild, he was the only man who could match her power and he knew it, and he constantly tested it. "Try me"

She rested her hands on his chest and shook her head, "I did"

Logan couldn't help but let go, "You can't judge this based on something that wont happen now. You've changed the course of history just by being here, look what we've done already, that's bound to change something" he argued

Rachel was about to shoot back when she noticed the girls back from the washroom. Jubilee looking confused, while Rouge grinned. "What's going on?" she asked

Logan scratched his head, "Nothing" he answered quickly, "Just going over yesterday" he said not entirely lying.

Rachel looked at Logan sideways, "You guys should head back to the mansion" she decided, "Rouge I want you to tell the professor that someone else is working with magneto, someone who has the ability to block telepaths" she paused, "And can tell the future" she was unsure even as she said it out loud

"Wait Rachel" Logan said, "We're not leaving without you"

She looked at Logan not wanting to get into it, "It's too dangerous with Jubilee, you've seen what Jon can do" she pleaded, "It's easier if I go on alone"

"Easier for whom" he shot back realizing Rouge and Jubilee were still there. He cleared his throat, "It's too dangerous on your own"

"What'd I miss" Remy approached

"Nothing, we're all going to head back to the mansion" Logan looked at Rachel

"I'm not going" Rachel said, "I can't go back when there are more of us out there, and it's too dangerous with us as a group with Jon and whoever else Eric has with him"

"You mean that blind girl wit da old man?" Remy asked

Rachel looked at Remy tired, "Blind girl? Did you see her?"

"Caught a glimpse" He shrugged, "She had no eyes"

Rachel stepped towards him, "What do you mean she had no eyes?"

Remy shrugged, "Jus dat Cher"

"I'm calling the professor" Logan said pulling out his phone, "This is bullshit" he said to himself. Rachel was insane if she thought she was going to stay back on her own. "Professor?" he said walking away

Rachel threw her hands up in the air, "Unbelievable" She couldn't believe Logan was ratting her out.

"Rachel, Logan has a point. It's just as dangerous, if not more for you to go out on your own" Rouge reasoned, "What happens if Eric catches you, and that Jon guy get's a hold of you"

Rachel tried to smile, "Better me than anyone of you" she admitted. She'd lost them all once, she couldn't risk that happening again.

Logan walked back, "Looks like we're all going back" he looked at Rachel, "The professor doesn't know of any blind mutant that can predict the future, but he does't want any one of us staying behind to find out. He's going to use cerebro to find her as well as the others" he said

Rach looked away defeated.

The group walked into the house with Rouge and Jubilee in the front, with rouge giving her the tour. Remy and Logan walked silently behind. Rachel was silent the entire way home. She had to face Jean, there was no way Jean was going to read Rachel, but she could read Logan and Rachel was terrified the she would see everything.

She pulled Logan away and into an empty classroom. "Not that I wouldn't be into the idea, but is this really the time? I mean shouldn't we see the professor first?" he said reaching for her.

"Stop" she batted his hand away, "God, what is wrong with you" she whispered. Logan couldn't help but grin. "I've done a pretty god job at keeping Jean out of my head, but you are a little too easy for her" she said, "She can't know Logan" Rachel pleaded, "Any of it"

Logan stepped back realizing everything else Rachel had told her the night before. How she killed Jean to save them all. That Jean became the Phoenix again. He looked down so caught up in Rachel that he forgot about Jean. That it happened anyways. Now he felt defeated. Rachel couldn't help but comfort him as she ran her hand across his face, "Remember what you told me"

Logan held her hand, "Do you believe it?"

"If you do, that's enough Logan" she said stepping towards him.

Logan grinned looking at the open door "What about" he tried to control himself.

Rachel focused and the door quietly shut as Logan watched raising an eyebrow. Rachel kissed him running her hands through his hair, wanting him to feel the same comfort he gave her last night. Even if it was only a kiss. Nothing else mattered when she was in his arms. Logan leaned against the desk holding rachel between his legs. He wanted more, like last night but knew he had to keep his control with Jean around. Rachel was right, she couldn't know. Not like that.

Rachel pulled away still keeping her face close to his, "Fight for that" she said

Logan nodded, "As hard as I can"
