Chapter 3

It was a beautiful morning, the weather was absolutely perfect, almost as if someone, not saying who, had something to do with it. The sky was wide open, not a cloud at a sight, not cold nor hot, rather worm. Logan smile to himself when he look through the window.

He took a quick shower, got dressed and went to the kitchen to drink some coffee, Logan didn't expect to see anyone in there since it was Saturday and very early on the day. But he was surprise to see Jean and Scott having breakfast with the professor.

-Good morning- Logan said as he entered and went to poor himself some coffee.

-Morning, Logan- Jean answered offering a big smile. While Scott only nod because his mouth was full with food.

-Good morning, Logan, would you like to join us ?- The professor invited him.

-Sure. But I am not hungry, I just want some coffee- he sat next to the professor and in front of Jean.

-Any plans for today?- Charles asked to none in particular.

-Our plans got push back a little- said Scott smiling to Jean and holding her hand with his right hand, she smile back at him -Jean is covering for Storm watching over the kids that are staying in-

-We will leave tonight- Jean said to Scott in a conferring tone.

-I hope so, I already exchange our tickets twice- Scott sounded disappointed.

Logan had no idea what trip they were talking about or how long would they be gone, but he didn't wanted to ask something that he probably already knew, at least the other Logan did. It was strange keep thinking about the other Logan and the other X-MEN team, it was like as he had being living two lives but he could only remember one, the one none else knew about, it was starting to get very confusing.

-I am sorry about that, but I am taking Hank to a conference in Washington, there still some issues regarding the last month incidents, otherwise I'll offer myself to look over the kids- Charles said in an apologetic tone.

Logan face must have been very obvious because he immediately hear Charles voice in his head.

"Some Mutants got a little out of hand a couple of months ago and a couple Students from Chicago got hurt"

-It's OK professor, our responsibilities with the School and the team come first- Scott said, and with a smile in his face he added -I am going to take some of the older student that are staying behind to the danger room- Logan had keep silence until Scott turn to him -What do you said Logan what to join me and the kids ? It would be fun-

-Sorry Scott, as fun as that sounds I am going with Storm to get the parts for the blackbird and the danger room- Logan said although having a session on the Danger Room would be the best way to relax, he didn't wanted to cancel on Storm, although he was sure that was going to be awkward.

-Thank God! The blackbird is in serious need of improvement- Scott said drinking the rest of his coffee.

-I'm glad Forge is back too, I think it would be good for Storm to spend sometime with him so she'll forget all about T'Challa- said Jean. Logan almost drop his cup but he manage to grab it just in time. What was going on between Storm and Forge ? Why did she need to forget about T'Chala ? And the most important question Why was this bugin Logan so much ? He couldn't deny his feeling tours Storm, he obviously cares a lot about her, they were together until just a couple of days ago. But he never had to worry about her seeing other men, and the jealously where eating him. Damn I really need to have a session on the danger room or pick a fight with some. I miss the war.

-Good morning- her voice brought him back to reality. She was waring some thigh jeans, the T-Shirt she was had a discrete cleave and not sleeves, Logan look at her for a little longer that necessary. She look beautiful. She always looks beautiful.

-Morning- Storm grabbed a cup of coffee and sat next to Logan.

-I was just saying how great it is to have Forge back on the team- Jean said looking at Storm with a big smile -Don't you think so ?-

-I guess so, we really need to upgrade the blackbird and the danger room its in need of some serious reparation, the last time I used it I got electrocuted twice without setting anything off-

-Isn't that the point?- Logan asked leaning closer to her with a big smile.

-The point is to practice no to kill ourselves- she smiled back -That's the bad guy's job-

-Yeah but it's also great to have him around right ?- Jean insisted again.

-I am sure Hank is glad he is back, he couldn't keep up with all the reparation on his own- Storm was either not getting the message or was pretending not to understand what Jean meant.

-Yeah, Well he told me he was really happy to be back- Jean tried again -That he really miss being in here he told me ...- Jean stop in mean sentence, Storm was giving her a killer look -Jesus Storm you don't have to be like that we are just worry about you- Logan look at them confused did he miss something ? Because Storm didn't open her mouth, unless... Did Jean read her mind ? And why where they worry about her ?

-I appreciate your concern but I don't need you to fix me up with anyone- Logan agreed with Storm, he didn't want to see her with anyone either. -Oh you would love that wouldn't you?- Storm got up and walk to the door -Lest go Logan-

-What just happened?- Logan asked confused

-Women- Scott said.

-I was just trying to help- Jean said with a sad expression -She is being so sad and isolated since the divorce I just tough that an old love could bring the old Storm back-

What Damn divorce? Logan look at the professor waiting for him to explain like he did before but when he didn't Logan stood up -See you guys latter- and he walked out of the kitchen to the elevator that leads to the lower level of the mansion.

Storm was flying the blackbird in silence, she didn't said a word since they left the mansion, she didn't talk much while they were prepping the blackbird. She was really upset with Jean from bringing that subject in front of everyone in the middle of the breakfast, but what was really bothering her was that she was trying to manipulate the situation to get her and Forge together, she knew very well that Storm didn't wanted to be anyone, specially not him, the only reason she was accompanying him today was because Hank asked her.

Storm sighed in frustration, she didn't want anyone to be medaling in her life. She didn't wanted to go out with anybody after T'Challa canceled their marriage because she went back to the X-Men instead of continued acting as the Queen of Wakanda by his side. It brook her hearth that he'll you decided to end it without talking to her, he just did it and then informed her on an email. He didn't have the descended to call. But Storm was trying to put all of that in the past without allowing it tot affect her duties in the institute.

-Why so serious windrider?- asked Forge in a joking tone, who was sitting in the co-pilot share and had been glaring at her since they took off was nos staring her.

-Don't call me that- Ororo hated that nickname, that was T'Chala's nickname for her, and right now she didn't want to hear it from anyone.

-Sorry- Forge apologized and sit straight on his sharing -I was just wondering why you have been so... off since I got back- Storm didn't answer anything she continued concentrate in the screen in front of her. Logan looked at both of them from the sit behind Storm, he was pretending to be annoyed but in reality was paying attention to every word, he tough this would be the perfect opportunity to learn more about her -I just wanted to know if something was bothering you and if maybe I could do something to help you- Forge was acting as if Logan wasn't there.

-You know very well why, don't pretend like your BFF Jean didn't put you up to speed about my personal life- Storm was really pissed, she didn't want anyone asking her that kind of questions in the middle of a pick up.

-So where are we going exactly ?- Logan decided to intervening because it was obvious that Forge was bothering her, and he wasn't going to allow it, not matter how much he wanted to find out about her personal life.

-Stark Labs- Forge was the one who answer -They have the best in technology and they agreed to upgrade the blackbird and provide new and advance technology for the danger room, I worked there for a while-

-Oh- Logan was disappointed he tough that they were going to face some danger situation, when Storm said they were going to get some things they could get online Logan was convince they were going to meet in a black market or something. Ororo let out a small giggle.

-Something funny?- he asked amused

-Sorry Logan I should had explain what why were doing before I invited you- Storm changed course and started descending -I know that if you are not fighting at least 10 bad guys you are not happy- she had a half smile in her face.

-Drop me at the entrance and go wait on the roof- Forge said and got up and went at the back of the plain. The are was isolated and huge the Lab had 2 big building forming a semicircle.

-At least you are smiling now- Logan changed sit to go sit beside her.

-For now- she joke offering him a flirtatious smile while opening the ramp for Forge get out.

-We are not going in?- Logan asked while Storm landed on the roof of the building.

-Yes, but lest give him some time to rekindle with his ex coworkers and talk about all that boring tech they do in here- Logan smile to him self, Storm was a little more spice in this alternative time line, storming out at breakfast, putting stop on Forge attempt to flirt, making jokes, allowing Logan to filter a little, she usually keep all her emotions in check and keeps her posture at all times, she has to, her powers are tied to her emotions. This was going to be interesting.

-I know this is a delicate subject, but I just want to know if you are alright?- Logan was able to extrapolate all the information he needed form what he has hear so far, she was married to T'Chala and it ended badly, obviously she still has feelings for him.

Storm sighed before turning to be face to face with Storm -I used to like going on missions with you because you never talk- she was looking at him with an annoyed expression on her face, Logan dazzled her with a smile -I am fine, I just want to move own and leave it behind me, but I can't with everyone looking at me like a wounder puppet and asking me how am I every day- she made a pause before asking -Did Jean put you up to this ?-

-No- Logan wanted to take her hand but was afraid she'll push it -We love you and we care about you- Storm turn to see him with her eyes wide open in surprise. Obviously she didn't expected that confession from Logan

-You have been expressing more in the last 36 hours that in your hole life- she closed her eyes a little an gave him a suspicious look -Are you dying?- she immediately laugh.

-If this is the kind of respond I am going to get every time I express my feelings I wont do it again- they both laugh at Logan's joke. It was so essay being with her. Why did it took him so much time to notice it?

-Wow, what's gotten into you?- she asked intrigued by Logan's change of attitude.

-Don't change the subject missy. We are not talking about me-

-I am fine I promise, I just have my ego wounded, he didn't even discussed with me, he just annulled our marriage as if nothing happened- Storm keep her eyes fixed on the glass of the window -It'll pass- she seemed confided.

-Just said the word and I introduce him to my friends- Logan let out his metal claws and Storm chuckled.

-I'll keep that in mind-

-What's your story with Forge ?- Logan knew he was pushing his luck but he was interesting in knowing everything about her.

-Enough for today- she said getting up -I shared enough. You want more juice on mine personal life you are going to have to share too-

-Storm? Are you there?- Scott's voice came out of her comm link.

-Yes, what's up ?-

-You had some groceries delivered, what do you want us to with them?-

-Damn, I forgot about that. Well Scott how about if you put them... mmmm ... I don't know... in the fridge maybe?- her voice was full of sarcasm -Isn't that what you do with groceries ?-

-Haha, I mean you have some shit here that's frozen, do you want me to leave out so it defrost by the time you came back?-

-No, Scott that's ok I'll try my new recipe tomorrow. Thanks-

-Bring us some good stuff for the danger room-

-Sure thing-

-You two have an ugly vocabulary for two people that live in a School -

Storm turn to see Logan -Look who is talking. C'mon lets go see Forge-

Before you all kill me I'll explain latter how is it that Jean's power is so develop, well at least is just a theory I have about this time-line.

I really enjoy writing the conversation between Logan and Storm. :)

Answering Reviews over here.

Xavierschool4gifted I always wonder what happened after Logan go back too, so I decided to write my version, I hope it's not to unrealistic hehe.

Guest, yeah I think he is super funny to thinking that he needs a war to deal with everything, but it's Logan how else would he do it, right ?

Guest, Thanks, I hope you enjoy the rest of the story as well.

doesn't matter, hey thanks for the feedback, I know, but I though that since they change the past this new time line would allow for some adjustments that are great to write a fic over.

Guest, Thanks I am glad you find it to be a good fic.
