Chapter 4

Logan stretch on the chair he was siting for the last five hours, he had been trying to keep up with every change that occurred after 1973, the first thing he checked was the X-Men members, the list was extensive but most of them were inactive, he was shock to see 2 names on there, Magneto and mystique, he remember Eric was a part of the resistance against the Sentinel program but that partnership was only possible because of the situation, Mutants needed to stay together in order to survive.

They were both mark as inactive with location unknown which explained why he hadn't see them around the mansion in the last weeks. Then next thing Logan checked was the files on all his friends, he wanted to be able to insert him self into his life without having them suspecting anything, he checked Jean and Scott's first, they were married, no surprise there, no kids so far, Scott was still the leader of the X-Men, there were some mentions about injuries and some reports on missions but nothing to major, Jean was acting as the team Doctor along with Hank. Logan went trough all of the files leaving for last, the one he had been dying to see, what could he learn from Storm's file? ever since there conversation in the mission with Forge, Logan had been intrigued by this new Storm, the mission turn out to be boring and uneventful, the most exacting part was when they lose contact with Forge for a couple of minutes but it turns out he was simple out of range.

But Logan was frustrated when most of the information on Storm's file turn out to be confidential, and the access code the professor had given him were unable to open parts of the files. So all he learn was that Storm was recruit to the team when she was a teenager around the 80's, there was some mention on her short time as a Queen in Wakanda and the years she left the time to go live in Africa where she was seen as a goddess, and the fact that she was appointed Headmistress a couple of months ago. Logan was very disappointed specially because he hadn't been able to speak with her again.

He just couldn't find the right moment to approach her or what to said to start a conversation, he remember how easily it was for him to speak with the Ororo from the other time line, they became best friends before they were a couple. He remember the day they started going out, although going out doesn't applied exactly to what they were doing, all they do was hide and fight the sentinels.

FLASHBACK

Logan sat on the chair beside Storm's bed in the improvised infirmary, Logan was using all his strength to stay calm, he was focusing in her breathing, in and out. Every certain time she would mumble something. Logan would race his eyes to see if she has woke up but it wasn't the case, the professor said she was going to be out at least until tomorrow.

The anger took over him again when the image of beast body invaded his mind, he shouldn't had let the furry man go alone to create a distraction but they didn't had any else to go get Storm, he should had gone on his own. Logan tough was his fault, Storm being captured and torture, his fault, beast death, his fault too. Logan couldn't help being relieve that they got Storm out of there, all the time she was away from him, Logan was unable to work properly, his mind was always wondering what was she having to endure? They knew she was alive, the professor could sense her unfortunate because of their connection they also knew when she was in pain, this drove them into rushing in to the base to get her, with a poorly though plan that cause them to lose Beast on the process, Logan wasn't feeling like the mission was a success.

-Logan you should go...- Magneto entered the room follow by the professor

-I am not leaving her side- his eyes were focused on Storm face, she was the only one left from the original team, Jean and Scoot died a long time ago, Beast had just died in front of them and he wasn't going to let his death be in bane. So many other mutants hunted and slaughter all over the place, Logan knew he couldn't have save them all but still the death of some of them it haunted him.

-You need to rest. Why don't you eat some...- this time was the professor, he put his hand on Logan's shoulder.

-I AM NOT LEAVING HER- he push his hand a way -I am not hungry not tired-

-What are we going to do about Beast body?- Magneto, his face letting see his own exhaustion, asked a question that no one wanted to hear because it meant accepting that Beast was gone for ever, that he wasn't coming back.

-We'll bury him on the forest, well hidden where no one but us can ever find him- Xavier's on exhaustion was palpable in his voice -We have to regroup with the others, Bobby and Kitty, have found more mutants that need ... -

-Are you still thinking you can save them, Charles?- Magneto voice was letting see all his anger -When are you going to forget about this foolish dream?-

-Never-

-So do you still think we can live in peace with the humans? It's that still part of your dream ?-

-You can't judge them all for the actions of a few of them-

-When are you going to open your eyes, Charles?- Magneto started to race his voice -How much does it has to happen for you to see the truth?-

-Erik, my old friend, if we were to hate all the humans for something that they can't not control wouldn't we be doing the same thing they are doing to us, to me that's a bigger tragedy, and fair isn't something that anyone can control-

-This is not the time for compassion Charles, this it's war, the worst war we have ever have to fought, we are fighting for our own existence, if there was ever a moment to be together it's now-

-Aren't we doing that ? Or are you planning on leaving, Erik?-

-Of course not, but fighting together it's not enough we have to fight for the same end with the same goal in mind-

-We are, survival it's our goal-

-Survival it's not enough Charles, we have to win, can't you see there's no other way to end this, either we died or they do-

-So, it's that your solution Erik total extinction of one race?-

-Yes and to me it's very clear which one, to ensure our survival and make sure this never happens ever again. The humans are a cancer in this world Charles, they destroy everything they touch, we are just another race they are going to take down and they would never stop until there's nothing left in this planet, they kill and torture for fun, to satisfied their tryst for domination and they justified everything by saying it's for their own salvation, well it's time to save this planet from them, save all the living things on this earth for the most dangerous tread to us all- Erik took his helmet off -When the moment to choose between they or ours comes which side are you going to take, Charles?-

-Would you two stop? Ya' look like an old couple having the same argument you started decades ago- Logan didn't even bother looking at them, he took a cigar out of this jacket and put it on his mouth, he wasn't going to light it up, he just needed something to keep him busy. -The fucking world it's ending and you are still fighting about your differences-

There was not answered from either of them on Logan's comment -I am going to start working in the grave- Erik grab his helmet and went outside, Logan doubt it that Erik could dig a grave, he tough it was just an excuse to leave.

Logan played with the cigar in his hand and look at Storm again -Common 'Ro-

-She'll be ok- Charles move to be next to Logan -She's strong-

-Everyone has there breaking point-

-This isn't hers-

-How can you sound so sure of yourself?-

-I have faith-

-That used to be enough for me but now you don't even same to believe it your self-

-We are not giving up-

-We have being trough a lot, but anyone can died at any moment and I can't...- Logan look at Storm but didn't say another word.

-Maybe you should tell her-

-I am going to go help Erik he is not going to get it done on his own-

It was almost dawn when Logan and Erik finished burring Hank. -Goodbye friend- Logan walked away from the improvised grave and went to the blackbird where Storm was still sleeping. He sat on the same chair and grab Storm's hand and rested his head over their hands, he didn't notice how much time he was sleep in that position but when he woke up Storm was looking at him, half way sitting with a smile in her face.

-Look who it's up, sleeping beauty- Logan let a small smile cruse his face over Storm's little joke

-You are one to talk-

-You didn't have to stay on that uncomfortable position all night- she said looking around -Where it's Hank ? I want to know when am I going to be able to get this off my arm- she pointed to the needle on her arm -He did a lousy job with this thing- she was trying to get it out.

-'Ro, Hank didn't... the professor and I tend to your wounds, I am afraid Hank didn't made it out of ...- Logan stopped in mid sentence after seeing Storm's reaction, her eyes filled with tears immediately and Logan could see the guilt in her face. Storm wasn't one to cry but Hank was very closed to her, to all.

-Oh God- she started sobbing -Hank-

Logan got up and sat beside her, he pull her closer to his body and held her in his arms -It's ok 'Ro, we are going to made it, his death won't be in bane- she rested her head on his chest.

Logan never knew what came into him at that moment, maybe it was Hanks death or the realization that any one could died at any moment or maybe it was becase he had miss her terrible but he lean closer and pose his lips over hers, she was surprise at first but didn't take much time for her to kiss him back, Logan savor the moment letting him self befog by her smell and taste at the same time. Ororo bury her hands on his hair and Logan press her body against him bringing her even closer. They only stopped when Ororo need hair. She was smiling at him when Logan open his eyes.

-It took you long enough-

-Sorry-

FLASHBACK

-That file isn't that interested- her voice brought him back to the present, he look at Storm's file on the screen -Why are you going through our files?- Her blue eyes lock with his over the screen.

-It's most interesting that you think-

-I doubt it- she sat down on the medical chair on the middle of the room -Where it's Hank ?-

Logan turn to see her, enjoying the vision that was Ororo in her fight suit -He's talking with the professor, I think- She nod and rested her head on the chairs back.

-You are so weird lately- She was looking at him with an intrigue expression on her face -You are smiling-

Logan didn't even realized he was smiling, he stopped immediately -I am entitled to smile once in a while-

-Sure... I didn't mean it was a bad thing, Logan- She stared at him for a couple of seconds -I guess I am curious to know at what do we have to thank for this?-

-Nothing- Logan was mad at him self, he couldn't even recognized himself this wasn't him. Why was he so... Happy lately ?

-Did you and... Jean got together?-

-What ?- Logan was in shock by her question, just the fact that she dare to asked him that.

-Sorry, that's not my business- Storm must misinterpreter Logan's reaction.

-Why would you think I am would be interesting on Jean?-

-Are you playing dumb with me?- she got up from the chair and came to stand closer to me -I know about what happened between the two of you a couple of weeks ago- Logan look at her completely confused he had no idea was she was talking about -And you know I know, she told me-

-There's nothing going on between us- Logan decided he was going to play dumb. After all he had no idea what happened or how could she knew.

-Fine pretend nothing it's going on, but what the two of you are doing it's low, despite your feelings for Scott he doesn't deserve this betrayal. I though Jean had come to her senses, she promised me she would stop, but I see you keep dragging her with you.- Logan didn't like at all Storm's daring, even if what she said it was true, it wasn't her business -If you want to self destruct, fine, but don't be dragging everyone whit you- Storm turn her back at Logan to walk away, Logan was beyond angry, mostly because he didn't like anyone meddling in his life but a part of him was angry because Storm knew he had some sore of relationship with Jean but didn't seam jealous at all.

Logan stand up and grab her by her arm, push her against the wall and took her other arm with his other hand. -You should learn to keep your noise out of other people business- Storm's scent has hitting Logan and he had to used all his self control no to take her right there, he could feel his animal side taking over

-I though there was nothing going- Storm was shocked by his initial reaction but she got over it pretty fast

-There it's nothing going on, and I don't like you suggesting other wise- Logan closed his hands around Ororo's arms even harder -What do you care anyway?-

-They are my friends, and I don't want to see them hurt because of all this mess- Logan couldn't help felt hurt by the way Storm excluded him, like she didn't care about him as much she care about Scott and Jean, as if they weren't friends. There eyes lock and they both remain looking at each other eyes until Storm broke the connection -Let go Logan-

-Yes, Logan, let go. I don't like the way you are garbing my wife-
