Rogue's Love For A Wolverine(COMPLETED)

Chapter 2

That night shaped Rogue's life. She threw herself into her schoolwork from then on. She eventually broke up with Bobby, she just couldn't give her whole heart to him anymore. Their breakup hurt them both, but eventually they were able to be friends. Rogue mostly kept to herself, but had befriended Kitty Pryde they spent a great deal of time together over the years. After high school Rogue at the urging of her friend and mentor Storm, Rogue went on to become a teacher at Xavier's school for gifted children. She specialized in English and Creative Writing but on the combat side she helped Colossus and NightCrawler she taught defensive tactics. Storm had maintained a very supportive role in shaping Rogue. She had seen in Rogue a great intelligence and watched her grow into a positive influence on campus. After finishing her teaching degree Rogue moved to Senior Staff quarters, her childhood finished she was now a grown 30 year old woman. Over the years she also worked with the Professor and Dr. Hank McCoy to learn how to finally gain control over her powers. Now she could have limited physical contact as long as she maintained focus. They had put her under hypnosis several times and she meditated every day to help keep herself centered. She still wore long gloves just to be on the safe side. But when she was alone she would take them off and relax. Several different battles had made her absorb several of her fellow mutants powers and memories. She could use Storms weather summoning abilities, she could also produce a shield on her skin making her bullet proof and gained the ability to fly which helped during combat.

Logan had gone off to mourn the loss of Jean and to gain some answers about his life. He had been through so many things in his life and had been experimented on and most of his early life memories had been wiped away from him. Logan's heart hurt for such a long time. He had occasional casual encounters but nobody ever compared to Jean. The professor used Cerebro to try to reach out to Logan several times over the years, he tried to convince Logan to come back to the school. The professor gave up after the 10th year, Logan needed to live his life. Still though, he wondered from time to time what happened to Rogue. He wondered if he should reach out and the longer time went on he figured she was better off without him in his life. Finally though after 15 years Logan had seen the news at a bar one night, and Hank McCoy was on discussing that some breakthroughs in Mutant genetics had been discovered. Logan got curious and was starting to be lonely, he had been on his own for such a long time. He was now missing the camaraderie of the fellow X-Men. Taking a last drink he decided to pack up and go back to the school. See if any of his old friends were still there. He took off on his motorcycle, finding a gas station and filling the tank for a long ride. In a long journey, only stopping for gas and a motel when he was nearby. He showered and put on a fresh pair of jeans, and a tight black T-shirt. Ready for the day he drove the rest of the way to the school. Pulling up right out in front. Getting off his motorcycle, he looked up at the school, the outside hadn't changed much. He wondered if things were different inside.

Making his way to Charles's office he stopped at the closed door and inhaled, the school smell brought back nostalgia. He heard footsteps behind him. And someone sucked in a deep breath.

" Logan?" It was Storm.

He turned toward her, " Storm." He said.

" Oh my GOD! We thought, well, we thought the worst about you." She couldn't believe her eyes. She walked up to him and he reached out for a hug. " You haven't changed! "

" You cut your hair!" He grabbed a little spike of her hair and grinned. " You look great!"

" Thanks Logan. Are you here to see Charles? I don't mean to be pushy, but are you just here to visit? Or is there something else?"

" I'm thinking of coming back. If He'll forgive me that is."

" Oh Logan! I'm sure he will. Oh! I'm so excited to see you! I'll stop holding you up."
