Storm was passed out on the couch when Logan walked in through the door. It was about four o'clock in the morning; only about another two hours before the kids start screaming it's Christmas. Better hide his gift to her now before someone catches him.

He found a spot in the bookcase where no one would ever look. "What are you doing?" someone behind him asked. Logan looked to see Laura Tinney, aka Talon or X-23- as she was most commonly known as. She was home for the holidays from the Avengers academy, which Logan was more than happy with.

"Nothin'," Logan replied.

"Really?" Laura said, crossing her arms. "Then why is there a velvet box-"

"Ssssssshhhhhhh!" he hissed, watching as Storm stirred, but thankfully didn't wake up. "I don't want her ta know about the box. I'm gonna propose ta her later tonight, if I can get her alone. Think ya could keep that quiet fer me?"

"Sure," Laura replied. "I got no objections, being your daughter and all. You deserve her as much as she deserves you."

"Thanks, X."
