I was planing on having this chapter done during the weekend but I had a lot of work but here it is Jleath1234. I hope everybody enjoys it. Let me know what you think.
Chapter 2
The display screen beside the door keep blinking, waiting for Logan to enter the correct access numbers, Logan has tried a couple of passwords he remember from before he woke up in this alternate future, but non of them were correct. He wanted to clear his head after having that conversation with Charles and a couple of awkward encounter with some students he didn't even remember ever meeting, and the best way of doing it was by going to the danger room and kick some simulated ass, just one little problem. Logan look at the display again and got his claws out.
-That's not necessary - he look up to see Jean walking at him with an amusing expression on her face -No need to destroy it just because you forgot the access code-
-This damn machine must be broken-
-Let me try- Jean stood right beside him, he could smell her perfume from a kilometer but he was surprise he didn't notice her before, not everyone could sneak up on him. But then again he hasn't being this distracted in years. Jean enter the 6 digit code and the doors opened -See, not problem- she smiled at him and he was lost in her smile, he was starting to smile back at her when Scott show up on the corner.
-There you are, I though you said we were going to meet outside your classroom-
-I forgot-
Scott kissed her quickly on the lips -Hey Logan- Logan just grunts in respond -Are you joining us ? Storm and Remy bailed on us at the last minute-
-No, I got things to do- Logan walked away before either of them could said anything. He felt a huge hole in his chest when Scott kissed her, there was not denying that he still has feeling for Jean, he was convinced he forgot about her before starting a relationship with Storm, but his feelings for her where still there and very strong. How could this be happening again ? He had to watch her from afar in the arms of another man, and gone through losing her twice in one lifetime, just to let history repeat is self, Jean and Scott were a real couple and there was no way she would leave him for Logan.
Logan sighed in frustration -As long as she is alive and happy I'm ok- he had reach the upper levels without noticing it. He was walking to his room when a body crashed against him. His automatic reflex was to reach out his arm to bring the person closer. It was only then when he realize who it was.
-Are you alright, 'Ro ?- he didn't even notice he call her by that nick name, not many people call her 'Ro and the immediate look in her face late Logan to believe that in this time line, the Logan that she knew, had never call her 'Ro before.
-Yes, sorry Logan, it is my fault, I was distracted- Ororo pull her arm out of his grip and started picking up some folders she had drop. He helped her get everything.
-It looks like you have a lot of work- he said given her the last folders -Sorry to add more-
-I am the headmistress of the School that comes with more responsibilities-
-You should delegate-
-Not necessary, I am very capable of handling everything, your class just got me by surprise, I wasn't expecting it-
-I am sorry- Logan did felt sorry to see how much she was hovering, there were plenty of teachers on the school that could help her, so why was she doing so much ?
-It's ok Logan- She checked her watch -Do you mind if we talk and walk?-
-Sure- she started walking and Logan follow her, she had so many things on her arms that Logan was surprise she could see at all
-Allow me- he took a bunch of folders from her right arm.
-Thanks- she flashed him with a smile. He smile back.
They walk in silence for almost all the way to her office, Logan was trying to start the conversation again but he couldn't think about anything to said, so he asked the first that came to his mind -How was the class today? Was it hard to take over my history class ?-
-They asked a lot about you, it looks like you are popular- she smile at her own joke -I talk with them to see how much you have teach them and then they took a test, it's going to help me see where should I begin next class- she stop in front of a door that had a sigh that read "Headmistress of Administration" -Well this is me, thanks for the help Logan- she reach out to grab the folders from Logan's arms but he pull them away.
-I'll set them done in your desk-
He enter right behind her, Ororo's office was as expected, everything neat and perfect, there was not even one clip out of place, the walls where white and she didn't have anything personal in her desk or at any other place for that matters. He left all the folders on her desk.
-So... What are you doing tomorrow ? Are you staying in ? or going out ?- he wanted to know if she had plans outside the mansion or if she was going to be in all day, but he wasn't very subtle about it -What the fuck are you doing ?- he was feeling like an outsider more and more, he didn't know how to act, what to said, who talk with or who should he avoid, and in top of that he wasn't sure about his feelings for Storm after seeing Jean again.-Just as well, she seems to be disgusted by me- but he wanted to know who was the professor talking about.
-Mmmm...- she doubt for a second and was looking at Logan with a strange look in her face when she answered -Yes, I am going out with Forge- Logan could feel the rage building up in his body and he felt a primal impulse to slice Forge open in two.
-Forge?-
-Yes, we need some supplies for the black bird and the danger room, the kind of things you can't order on-line- Logan sighed in relieve, he didn't even realize he was holding his breath and squeezing his fist, for a moment he though she was going out with him on a date, and a part of him was furious, he couldn't separate the Ororo from his time-line, his 'Ro and the one from this time-line, the one it was cold and distance to him, so Logan couldn't help being jealous when she mentioned Forge. -Do you want to come with us ?- she hesitated before asking him, which made Logan wanted to refuse the offered, but he accepted just to make sure it wasn't any funny business going on between Forge and Storm, and because she was smiling at him in a way that made him wanted to said yes to everything.
-Sure-
-Great- she sat at her desk and open some folders -I don't mean to be rude Logan, but I have a lot of work to finished today, do you mind...- she look at the door real quickly. Logan understood immediately, she has a lot of work and wants to be left alone -I get it-
-Of course, see you tomorrow-
Logan didn't wanted to talk to anyone, his head was spinning from everything, it has been a crazy day. So he went directly to his room, avoiding everyone on his way, he hide every time he hear someone coming his way, until he reach his room, he lay down on the bed and remove his shoot.
-What am I suppose to do now ?-
-Theres not even a war to go fight my way out of this feelings. Maybe tomorrow I'll have time to spent in the danger room, alone-
Logan had no idea who was the professor trying to push him tour? but he decided he didn't wanted to find out, if it was Jean it was better not knowing, the best thing for him was to avoid her as much as possible, he was taking the professor's advice, and with all the information he had he knew the best thing was to stay away from her. And Storm has show him how far away they are from being anything. Logan wasn't sure they were even friends, all the conversion with her was awkward, he could tell she wanted to be over very quickly.
She probably only invited him to go with her and Forge just to be polity. Logan didn't wanted to spend time with her, at least not like that, but his mouth was faster that his brain and he accepted her offer without thinking it and now he was regretting it. He knew the only reason he said yes was because he was jealous. Which is selfish, sense he had decided not to pursue anyone but he couldn't bear the tough of another man touching her. He didn't want anyone touching them, but he had no choice with Jean, she was already with someone else, to be more accurate with the same one, but Ororo wasn't with anyone, that he knew of, so maybe until he gets accustomed to all this, he'll keep an eye on her.
He was starting to contemplate the idea of leaving for a while was very tempting, if he ever needed a moment away it was now.
Well here was the second chapter, it's a little short but the third one it's coming pretty soon.
