-So, let me get this straight, the young girl fired the bolt and you all
assumed it was Ororo.- Xavier asked looking at the team.

-No.- Logan growled.

-It was a honest mistake, professor.- Marie put in.

-Not really.- Eyes turned to Logan.

-What does that mean?- Jean asked.

-With or without her powers compared to her we're beginners. She is after all a
professional.- Logan pointed out.

-So your saying she doesn't lose control? Who's locked in her room like a
child?- Jean snapped.

-Who's cooling off and who's acting petulant?- Logan snapped back.



Jean sneer disappeared. Scott tried to change the subject.



-What about the security measures? Where did they come from?-

-The designer put it in. It required a trained eye, someone trained to see
things like a teenager firing a bolt.- Xavier answered.

-Why didn't you tell us professor?- Henry asked.

-Because then you would have asked who that person was. At that time I wasn't
prepared for you to know about Ororo. Nor was she, trust me when I tell you her
eye has keep kept you all out of jail or a lab on several occasions.- Xavier
told them.



Ororo came downstairs the next morning and looked around the kitchen, they were
having breakfast. She grabbed a plate and sat down, she didn't look at anyone.
Logan nudged her and smiled, Ro rolled her eyes.



-I'm fine.- She whispered.

-I'm sorry.- He said softly.

-For what?-

-Even considering you did it.- He confessed.

-Did you really think I did it, something that childish and stupid?- she asked
annoyed.

-Actually no, for exactly that reason, it was childish and stupid, something a
kid would do.-



They smiled at each other and Jean almost snapped her fork in half. She was
definitely going to have a talk with Logan. Once breakfast was over Ro offered
to model her finished dress to Logan. Jean asked to talk to him and Scott
wanted to talk to Ororo.



-Jeannie?-

-Logan, I don't want to come between you and her. I've been such a baby lately
you've been so good about it.- she said sweetly

-Yeah you've been a bad girl but Ro can take it.- he smiled.

-She definitely didn't let me get to her.- Jean said.

-Jeannie, you know I still care about you but the team is better when Scott and
I are not aren't at each other throats over you. You're married and I've got to
be a good boy.- Winking at her.

-Doesn't mean a girl can't miss all the attention. We where friends, doesn't
mean you have to stay away from me completely does it?- she asked.

-No darlin it doesn't, I'm sorry, Ororo's a full time woman sometimes.- he
laughed.

-Then I'll make an appointment. I still feel for you ya know.- Jean said softly.

-I still feel for you to darlin, I'll always love ya, but your not mine.- Logan
said.



Ororo wanted to shoot a bolt in the room and fry them both. Jean had the sultry
voice thing going on and Logan was eating it up. Ro balled her fist and
demanded that she didn't cry. She growled when Jean sweetly kissed him on the
cheek and swayed her skinny ass away. Ororo ran up the stairs to her room and
looked at the black dress on the closet door, she wanted to cut it to shreds.
Instead she grabbed her trusty leather bag packed it and headed out the door.


-Ororo? What's up?- Scott said stopping her.

-Nothing, I'm gonna go to Toronto this afternoon to get the information you and
the professor asked for Scott.- she told him.

-What about the ball tonight?- Surprised.

-If what you and the professor say is true you'll need that information fast,
I'm gonna have to skip it.- Ro said.

-What about Logan?- Scott was getting angry.

-What about him, Jean's got two arms.- Ro snapped.


She was out the door before he could stop her. Scott knew something had
happened. What he didn't know. Logan went to Ro's room it was empty, her dress
was on the closet door with jewelry and shoes laid out. Yet she was no where to
be seen. With the ball only hours away, he went to the den to asked if anybody
had seen her.


-She's not there.- Logan said confused.

-She went to Toronto earlier today.- Scott said sadly.

-Why? What's in Toronto?- Logan asked.

-She didn't have to leave early. She was scheduled to leave on Friday.- Xavier
put in.

-So why did she leave early?- Logan asked again.

-Won't know till until she comes back, Logan. I'm sure she had good reason to
run out on you.- Jean says.


Scott heard the sound in Jeans voice. He now had a good idea why Ororo left
early.



Later that night in New York.



The ball was very beautiful and Logan spent it trying to beat out his healing
metabolism by getting drunk. Jean tried to get him to talk to her or dance but
he refused. Jean was put out, all this over that women. The professor
introduced the team to Forge and his wife Silverfox. The X-men would be working
with them on a upcoming mission. Logan eyed Forge carefully.


-You're the bastard that was s'ppose ta marry Ororo.- Logan grunted.

-Logan!- Jean looked at him shocked.

-You know Ororo?- Forge asked surprised.

-She was s'ppose ta be ma date she stood, stood me up.- Logan said with pop.

-Sounds like her.- Silverfox sneered.

-No it doesn't! She had her reasons, like when she left ya ha house asa, asa
wedd'n present.- Silverfox paled.

-Logan stop.- Scott said.

-It was nice of Ororo to give us the house.- Forge smiled.

-I don't really like, it too small for me.- Silverfox said.


Forge looked at Fox, who was she kidding she loved that house. Logan snorted.


-Ororo ain't neva had cheap or bad taste in ha life. Every women wants what
she's got.- Lagan pointed out.

-Logan enough.- Scott said again.

-What am I wrong here? She looks like a goddess, acts like a goddess, kicks ass
like a goddess. She also knows how to bow out gracefully like a goddess.- he
said to Forge.

-I assure you Mr. Logan, Ororo wanted out of that engagement as well.- Forge
said answering Logan's accusations.

-If you believe dat then you are a jackass.- Scott grabbed his arm.

-Okay old man time to go. Excuse us.- he said sweetly.


Logan breathed in the night air and sobered.


-What did you do that for?- Annoyed.

-You called Forge a jackass, where you talking about yourself?- Scott asked.

-No.-

-What did Jean say?- Scott sighed.

-Nothing.-

-Come on old man.-

-Ororo must have overheard us Scotty. I knew I smelled her, I fucked up.- Logan
said softly.

-What did Jean say?- Scott asked again.

-She still felt for me, I told her that I did too but she wasn't mine.-


Scott took it in quietly, he'd have to have a talk with Jean.


-Ro won't be second to anyone Scotty. If she did hear us then she made the
decision to cut me off.-

-Well then I'd grovel.- Scott shrugged.

-You don't get it Scotty. That jackass tainted her for all other men. Its over.-
Logan walked away.


-Damn you Jean.- Scott hissed under his breath.


Toronto the next day.


There where three servers and one dumped to the other in case of tampering. The
first one, she missed in a fight with a mutant the size of a house. The second
one went well until that same very mutant showed up at the second location.
Now here she was in a high security facility trying to get the last bit of
information.


She was sure she had a concussion, but at least her lip and eyes weren't as
swollen as they were yesterday. She'd gotten it, now all she wanted to do was
go home and to sleep. Ororo walked into the mansion three days after the ball.
She and tried to slip past the dining room but Logan smelled her.


-Ro?-


She looked up and everyone gasped.


-What happened to you?- Bobby asked.

-Got into it with a building.- she mumbled.


Ro tossed the disk case at Scott.


-Here's your information. I haven't slept in three days, I need to get some
rest.-

-You need medical attention.- Henry said.

-Later, right now sleep, yeah sleep.- she said walking away.

-Ororo?-


She looked at Forge and blinked. She just walked away, she was too tired to
deal with anybody now, least of all her ex and his wife. She went to her room
closed the door and climbed into bed.

Hank knocked on her door, she groaned and got up.

-What!- she yelled.

-I'm sorry, but it's been three days.- The blue mutant informed her.

-Has it?- She looked confused.

-I'll give you a check up here.- He offered.

-Thanks.- She stepped back to let him in her room.


Hank hmmed, ahhed and sighed.


-Well I shouldn't have let you sleep but it did you some good. You need to eat
and stick to bed for another day. You'll be back on your feet tomorrow.- He
patted her shoulder.

-Thank you Henry.- She smiled.

-No problem, mind telling me what happened? I'm a good listener.-

-Not really. Maybe later?- Shaking her head.

-Okay, maybe later.-


Later that afternoon Logan knocked on her door.


-What?-

-I'm sorry I'll come back.- He said turning to leave.

-No, just spill it.-

-I'm sorry Ororo.- Logan said.

-That's it?-

-Yes.-

-Fine.-


She closed the door in his face.
