It didn't take Logan long to find her. He had picked up her scent instantly, and followed it until he reached an alley. There was a little blood there, but not enough to fear the worst. He continued to follow her scent until he came up to a warehouse, where he found his wife lying at the entrance. Her clothes were torn in places he didn't want to think about right now and there scratches and bruises all over her body.

As he knelt down to pick her up, she stirred a little. It was then that he noticed her side was bleeding heavily. He grabbed the scarf around her neck- it was already torn, but Logan would get her another one anyway- and made a tourniquet with it. Then he carried her all the way. home.

Hawk, one of the students at the mansion, was out riding her horse Midnight Storm when Logan caught up to her. "OMG!" She said when she saw Storm. "What happened?"

"Someone that you don't want to know got to her," Logan replied. He knew that she was going to figure it out. She had a huge grudge against Sabretooth, and it didn't help any that he was torturing the one person that came as close to replacing Crystal as can be. Thankfully, they were in the stables, so all Hawk had to do was go out into the lower levels.

"I'll be in the Danger Room if anyone needs me."

Logan knew how she felt, and would've joined her, had Storm's injuries not been so serious. He took her to the Infirmary. Hank took a quick look at her wounds, then left them alone. Storm woke up about an hour later with a jolt. "Easy, Storm," Logan said soothingly. "It's just me."

"Where am I?"

"You're in the infirmary at the mansion. I found you knocked out at the entrance-"

"Don't. Don't say it."

"Say what, 'Ro?"

"Please, Logan, I just want to forget about it."

"Forget about what?"

She turned to look at him. She didn't have to say a word; the pain in her eyes said it all.

"Oh, no. He didn't-"

"He did." The words caught in her throat, and she looked away to keep him from seeing her tears.

Logan wrapped his arm around her, but she automatically tensed, and Logan released her as the air charged around him. He knew she was doing it on instinct, so he let it go and didn't say anything. "Please," she pleaded, "don't touch me." The pain in her voice was enough for his heart to be torn out of his chest.

"Is there anything you want?"

Storm shook her head. "Just go, please? I need to be alone."

Logan nodded slowly, then left. He had hardly taken three steps out of the door when he heard Storm start to cry.

As Logan walked out of the kitchen with a beer, he saw Hawk standing out on the balcony overseeing the memorial gardens. As he stepped out, it became clear that she was listening to her iPod, lip-synching.

"Hey, kid," he called. She must've had her volume on low because she twisted around automatically. "Oh," she said taking an ear-bud out. "Hi, Logan."

"What are you listening to?"

"Evanescence," she replied, looking down at her iPod. "Right now it's 'My Immortal', and then the next one will be 'Whisper'."

Logan didn't really want to know what those songs were about.

"How's Storm?" Hawk asked.

Logan sighed. "Distraught. She tensed as soon as I touched her."

Hawk grimaced. "Yeah, I could've warned you about that."

Logan glanced at her. Just because she was telepathic, did not mean she knew everything. "Oh, yeah? And how would you know?"

Hawk smirked at him. "I watched too much SVU."

"Huh?"

"Crime show."

"Oh."

"I can also tell you that you're not going to be kissing much, or doing any activities that involves kissing. That will more than likely cause a breakdown."

Logan rolled his eyes. "Telepaths."

Hawk shot him a glare.


Chapter End Notes:
A/N: Funny story. As I pretended to go to bed (I came back on because I needed to post this), I played Evanescence, and the first song was 'My Immortal' and then I predicted that the next one was going to be 'Whisper' (since I have only five of their songs) and, what do you know? It was.
