I'd managed to avoid him the entire weekend. When he'd step into a room I'd slip out , making an excuse to the others. Trying to stay as far away from him as possible.
That all came to an end when I walked into the danger room and there he was. Shirtless and glistening in sweat. From the looks of it, he had just finished a grueling workout.
I go to leave when he looks up at the sound of the door opening." Sorry, I didn't realize you were in here. I'll go" I turn around and am about four feet from the door when he says..
"Computer lock down danger room . Authorization Wolverine alpha-47257."
The doors slam shut as well as the steel doors above us in the control room.I freeze at the sound . Echos of the past trying to claw its way forward into the present.
" There a reason you been avoiding me?"
He growls at me.
I slowly turn to stare him down. I ball my hands into fists, trying to control the panic fighting to pull me under." No." I answer through gritted teeth.
His eyes flash amber then he's moving towards me. For every step he takes towards me I retreat a step." I think there is. You scent of deceit. So tell me , Ms.Jones , what exactly are you hiding?"
(Now at this point in time, I've got to ask dear reader, have you ever been pressed up against a wall while a gorgeous,shirtless man stares down at you trying to intimidate you with his sheer size and presence? No? Well here's how it went)
I don't back down from a fight. I'm scrappy that way. So what I did, even shocked me afterwards.
"Chuck!!!!! HELP!!! "
Yeah I called for help.
I watch as he brows draw down and he gets a dazed look . After a minute he pushes away from the wall." Don't know why you involved Chuck , but that just confirms your hiding something. Computer disengage lock down protocols. Wolverine Gama-87456."
The doors open with a hiss . I don't run out of there, but I did come close.
I make my way outside to the pool. I strip down to my bra and cheeky underware. I dive into the pool .I swim to the other side of the pool and finally come up for air. To find several pairs of feet standing there. I finally look up to see Rogue and Storm as well as another girl in swimsuits staring down at me , smirks on their faces.
" Rough morning Suger?" Asks Rogue.
I pull my self from the pool and place my hands on my hips.
" If you call walking in on the formidable Wolverine working out In the danger room and us having a one side confrontation then yes."
Wide eyed stares." Really Az?" Asks Storm.
I take the towel she hands me and begin to dry my hair." Did he say why he confronted you?" Asks the other girl. I turn to look at her and just stare waiting on introductions.
" Oh sorry my names Kitty Pride. Code name Shadow cat."
I nod at her and turn back to Storm."Apparently I've been avoiding him and he basically wanted to know why."
The others look at one another and Rogue finally speaks up.
" Azura you have to understand... Logan he's...."
She begins but Kitty finishes." Very cautious with new people."
I smirk at them and say" You have no idea." Thinking about how he and I had first met back in Montana.
They give me confused looks." Let's just say Logan and I go WAY back. So I know first hand how cautious he is , especially since he did the same thing when we first met." Even when you can't remember it.
" How long we talking here Suger?"
I chuckle at her question. I have to think back and do some math.
