At dawn a younger healer came to raise Logan. She had been warned about the way she were to wake him, having been told of his claws, she knocked on the door to his chambers and peeked inside.
Calling to him." Mr.Logan?" She was timid but knew he'd want to know that Rogue had finally stirred." Mr. Logan sir?" She asked a bit louder.
He sprung awake. Then saw the petite girl." Yes?"
" Lady Rogue has stirred, she's asking for you."
" All right, thank you. I'll be down in a few minutes. Just need to get dressed."
" Sir, your clothes have been taken to be laundered, Our Lord had us leave you some clean clothes over there on the stand. " She pointed to a small stand in the corner.
"Thank you."
" Yes sir. I'll let the Lady know you are on your way. "
" Great." He responded.
She turned and left. He looked at the clothes, there were black thick pants and a dark grey, lace-up shirt and a black cloak. There was silver trim on the tunic. He was unsure of these clothes, but figured it was better than nothing. The pants fit him well at least and his own boots were still there. He went to the wash basin that had been left for him. He washed up as best he could and ran damp fingers through his hair to reset it after being slept on. Finally he was ready to go down and check on his woman. Strolling the dim corridors he looked around in awe of the place. It truly was another world. Such ornate woodworking through out the building and large collumns evenly spread the halls. Sparkling marble floors were so shiny and clean. It was quiet and he could here very little but some footsteps just a bit ahead of him.
Around a corner came Thor, checking on his palace before the day started. He was on his way to make arrangements with the cooks for the feast.
" Ah! Logan! Good morning! Are you well?" Thor asked pleasantly.
" Yes, they just woke me and let me know that she's awake and asking for me."
" That is excellent news! I knew they'd be able to help her. Come, let's go see her."
Thor motioned for him to come. They walked side by side.
" If I'm too firward, forgive me, we tend to be brutally honest here on Asgard. But, you truly love her don't you?"
" Uh, yes. I do. Truth is, I'm thinking of marrying her." Logan confessed.
Thor stopped," Yes?!"
" I walked away a long time ago and now I've been given a sevond chance and I want to do it right. I promised to take care of her long ago, I failed, but somehow she's managed to forgive me for the most part and she's willing to be mine now."
" Sometimes lessons need to be learned before we are able to move on. I have observed you two as we trained, you two fit well together. This may be thinking a bit ahead, but I could marry you both, here on Asgard of you wished. I know you have yet to ask her, but even if it's another time I could bring you all here again. It has been awhile since we've had a wedding, my mother wood be thrilled I'm certain."
" You'd really do that for us?"
" Yes, I know we've only known eachother a very short time, but I view you as allies and hopefully friends. "
Logan thought about it and he couldn't imagine waiting much longer to ask her now that he had her back. " I think I'll ask her very soon. I'll let you know."
Thor grinned. " That is well. Ah, here we are, let's go in."
They both walked in and saw that Rogue had been moved to a bed. They had also dressed her into a long flowing night gown. Her hair splayed over her shoulders.
Looking up she smiled weakly." Logan."
" Hey sweetheart. How do you feel? You look like Hell." He sat by her.
" I feel better than I did, but I do need some more rest. I wanted you. "
" I'm here now." He took her gloved hand in his and squeezed it, his big hand was strong and warm and comforting.
" Where are we?" She asked.
" You are at my home on Asgard. " Thor answered.
" Holy shit. We're not on Earth?"
" No, I brought you all here for a victory feast, but I brought you, Miss Pryde and Barton here to heal. How do you fair?"
" Better, but I feel weak."
" You need more rest. My healers will have you on your feet soon. Is Victor still in your head?"
She shook her head no." I finally got some peace from him. I felt like I was at war with him in my head. I don't feel him anymore. "
" Good. My healers removed his evil from your soul. You should be able to rest easy now. Logan, I'll leave you to your woman. " he took Rogue's other hand in his and brought it to his lips placing a light kiss on her knuckles." Rest well Fierce Little Warrior. If you need anything just ask. Anything at all. You should be far better tomorrow, we shall feast tomorrow evening. Now, I must check on the rest of my subjects. Logan, rest well yourself."
" Thanks Thor." Logan said.
Thor waved as he left the room.
The couple sat quietly a moment.
" I killed him. Didn't I?" Rogue asked.
" You did."
" Are you angry with me?" She looked down at their hands intertwined.
" No. He was an evil bastard, I didn't want you to be a killer, not like I was long ago. You're a great fighter, I just wanted you to stay clean from death. I didn't want you to be an animal like me. I do understand why you had to. Charles said you absorbed a lot of Victor. I am worried about the dreams you're going to have. I know you all ready know he did horrible things, but I had hoped to spare you from that. "
" I may ask Charles to wipe him away if he can. I just was so angry with what he had put you through in your past."
" I know. You know what? Let's try not to focus on him. Time has changed and we have each other now and nothing can separate us anymore." He withdrew his hand to wrap his arm around her and pull her close. Stroking her arm, he rested his chin on the top of her head. His heat warmed her some. " You should rest now. I'll stay with you. "
" All right." She rested her head on his chest, and could hear the steady rhythm of his heart. She knew it belonged to her.
Sleep overtook Rogue and Logan. He felt relieved that she had come out of the mini coma. Now he could rest. They were safe, the mission was over and they had a whole future to look forward to. He knew he had to ask her to marry him, but he wanted her to be stronger. The day slipped by, late in the afternoon they woke again. Kitty was up and about, the healers had done wonders to her shoulder and she was all ready on the mend. She wanted to see her best friend, so Piotr took her in to see Rogue and Logan.
" Hey, you up? We heard that you came out of the coma." Kitty asked softly.
" Yes. I'm awake Kitty, come in."
Logan stretched and got up to stretch his legs some.
" Hey Logan, you look like hell." Kitty grinned.
" So do you. How's the shoulder?" He smirked.
" A lot better I can move it a lot more than last night and it only hurts some. Not real bad anymore."
" Good. I'll leave you to your girl talk. Come on Tin-man, let's go see if we can find something to drink."
" Sure." Collossus agreed.
They walked to the main hall and found some of the team admiring Thor's home.
" I heard that she's awake, how is she? " Storm had approached.
" She's doing all right Storm. " Logan answered.
" Great, maybe I'll go visit her and Kitty." She smiled.
" Kitty is up and around. She's in with her." Logan said.
" Great! See ya later fellas."
" She is good woman, her and Wagner Should tie the knot. " Piotr mentioned.
" Yeah, they should. They're a good team. Hey, what about you and Kitty?" Logan chided.
" One of these days we'll get around to it." Piotr grinned.
" So speaking of tying the knot...I'm thinking of asking Rogue..."
Collossus stopped. Logan was mildly afraid he was about to be hit.
" You want to marry her?"
"Yup."
" Truly?! To protect her and never leave her?"
" Yup. I do."
Collossus let out a happy laugh." About time! Glad to hear it, but again, you hurt her? You deal with me." He slapped Logan on the back.
" I got it. I promise I'll never leave her. Never again. And another thing, if she says yes, I could use a best man..."
" Hell yes! I'll do it!"
" I think I'm going to ask her tonight. When she's feeling better. Thor offered to marry us here since everyone's all ready here but Charles. I think he'd bring him up here though. "
" Logan, this makes me so happy. Truly, I am happy for you both."
" I'm nervous as hell, she could say no."
" I don't know, you two have been through a lot, but somehow you always come back to eachother, she may say yes."
" I hope so. "
As the men walked and talked the ladies sat and talked.
" How do you feel knowing Creed is dead? I still can't believe you really did kill him. You're a badass!" Kitty grinned.
" I'm glad he's gone, in both ways. They somehow removed his evil from me, and now I feel much better. It was awful having his memories. He was a rotten person."
" No joke . I hated that guy, though probably not as much as you."
" He hurt so many innocent people. I'm glad that fucker is gone. I was scared that Logan was going to be mad though. "
" He hated the guy too."
" I know, but he didn't want me to be like him. Like an animal, but when the rage took over that's exactly how I felt. "
" Wow. That's pretty crazy, what a crazy day. " Kitty reflected.
"How's your shoulder?"
" Sucks, but they helped a lot. These healers know what they're doing for sure."
" I agree." She yawned," I'm getting hungry, I wonder if they're bringing food by soon."
" Why don't I find somebody to ask. You rest."
" Thanks Kitty." She smiled at her friend.
Then Storm walked in. " Hey girl! I just heard you were up, sorry I missed Kitty."
" She's going to see about some food, she'll be back. "
" How are you?"
" Tired, but Victor's out of my head so I'll take it. "
" Good. I just wanted to check on you. "
" Storm, you've always been there for me. Thank you. I hope you know what that has always meant to me."
" I do. At times I've thought of you like a daughter, but you're more because you're also my friend and colleague. "
" I love you Storm."
" I love you too Rogue. Now get some more rest all right?" Storm smiled.
" I will, I promise." Rogue hugged Storm and then settled back in bed.
More of the team trickled in to visit her, all wishing her well or congratulating her on killing Victor.
Steve came by alone.
" Hey there." He said.
" Hi Steve. "
" I heard that you were awake, thought I'd drop in. Say hi."
She smiled." Thanks Steve. That's nice of you."
" So, how are you?"
" Very tired, but much better. I don't know how they got Victor out of my head, but I'm grateful."
" I can imagine. So, you're staying with Logan huh?"
" Yeah. I did a lot of thinking, and we just keep coming back to each other. I need him and he needs me. I hope you understand."
" I do. We can still be friends though if you want. Some day I'll find another good woman , maybe some one like Peggy, and like you. A strong woman that can handle this life. "
" Steve, I truly don't even understand how you're single, you're so kind and gorgeous. But I do believe it'll happen when you least expect it. Just like me having Logan show back up in my life. There is some one for you I'm very sure of it."
" Thanks Rogue. Well, I should go and let you rest. I'm glad you're doing better. "
" I appreciate that Steve, thank you. I'm glad we met."
" I am too. Take it easy now." He walked out. Kitty came back with Logan and Piotr and Thor and some servants. They set up a small table for them and two benches then the servants filled the table with food. And two large wine pitchers.
" Ah little warrior, you're so awake! Good! I've had my servants prepare a meal guaranteed to help you get your strength back." Thor smiled." The rest of your team is in the main hall but I thought you could use some company. "
Rogue smiled and inhaled the aroma of the dinner. Roasted meat, many fruits and vegetables and fresh made bread. It was a wonderful spread.
" This smells fantastic!" Rogue smiled.
" Here , I'll make you a plate. What do you want?" Logan asked.
" A little of everything. "
"Good girl. It'll help you. Now, I'm going back to the main dining hall, my servants are here for you all. Don't be afraid to ask for anything. Tomorrow night we truly feast! I am certain you'll be much better tomorrow night." Thor raised his full goblet to them all , took a long drink and left.
" Wow, this isn't even the feast? What the hell are we going to have tomorrow?" Kitty asked breaking off a piece of bread.
"Seriously!" Rogue agreed.
" I don't know what this meat is, but I like it!" Logan said.
The small group ate until they could eat no more. The servants came to clean up the aftermath, though there wasn't much food that went wasted. Kitty and Piotr went for a walk, but Logan stayed with Rogue.
" Hey, so this is our first moment alone in hours. I want to say something. " she patted the bed for him to sit by her. He faced her so they could talk.
" What's on your mind Kiddo?"
" I just wanted to tell you, you look damn good in Asgardian clothes."
He smirked." Thanks, I'm not crazy about it, but it's clean. "
" I love you in your leather, no doubt, but this looks nice on you too."
" Well thanks. You look good in that night gown. "
" Thanks. " she blushed and tucked her hair behind her ear.
" You and I, we're a lot alike at times. We were both misfits for a time, but then we found each other."
" Yep in that skanky bar that you fought at for money. "
" Yep. Where you stowed away in my truck.But we just keep finding each other and saving each other."
" Why are you getting so deep with me right now?"
" Well this shit we've been through has had me thinking about somethings that are important."
" Like what?" She watched him intently.
" Like family. "
" Okay." She was waiting to see where he was going with his thought.
" Anna Marie? I want to ask you something?"
" Go ahead. You have my full attention. "She reached for his hand and held it in hers.
That gave him strength. So he took a breath then said." I want to marry you. I want to make a family with you. Because I don't want to ever lose you ever again."
" Holy shit! Logan!" She gasped.
" I want to be there for you forever. As long as we live and if it's possible I want to make little mutant babies with you. And have a home. "
" Oh my God! Do you mean it? Truly mean it? You're not fucking with me?"
" I promise you I'm not kidding. I love you more than anything Anna Marie. Will you be my wife?" He stroked her fingers lightly.
Her face lit up, " Yes! Yes! I'll be your wife!" She couldn't stop the happy tears that suddenly flowed down her cheeks.
He moved in and clasping her face in his hands, kissed her long and hard. Her kiss back was filled with as much enthusiasm as his.
" Whoa! Did I just walk in on a marriage proposal?" Kitty asked.
Logan pulled back but grinned.
Rogue answered. " Yes you did! I said yes! "
" Oh my God!" Kitty squealed.
" I know it just happened, but Kitty, will you be my maid of honor?"
" Fuck yes!" Kitty was smiling from ear to ear. " I'm gunna let you two be, I just wanted to say goodnight. Can I tell Pete?"
" Sure, you can let him know I'll need his services as my best man after all." Logan grinned.
" Oh my God! My heart is fluttering!" Rogue said.
" Well then I have one more question to ask ya."
" Okay."
" How soon is too soon? Thor has offered to do a ceremony here once you're well enough."
" Be married on Asgard? Oh wow! That would be just...wow! "
" We could have the wedding here, I can see if he'd bring Charles and Fury up here. Then just go to the justice of the peace when we get back home."
" Oh wow. I, yes I would like to do it here like that. I wonder if Hank would give me away."
" I can go get the old fur-ball for you so you can ask him."
" Let's wait until tomorrow. Maybe we should talk to Thor, then announce it at the victory feast tomorrow night? Let's finish tonight just you and me."
" All right. " he kissed her forehead.
Thor came in." How are you now that you've eaten?"
" I'm great! Um, so am I to understand that you and Logan talked about something very important? A marriage perhaps?"
" Yes. We did have a talk about it. Did you ask her?" Thor asked Logan.
" Yes. I did."
" And?"
" Would you marry us?" Rogue asked.
" I absolutely will! I will go speak with my mother, she's going to be thrilled. She will help you with a dress and plans. She hasn't been able to do such things in a long time. Much luck to you both! I will leave you. But I'm going straight to her, she'll be ecstatic."
" Thank you! " Rogue said. She couldn't stop smiling. Then she asked, " Would you go get Hank? I can't wait until tomorrow. I thought I could, but I can't. "
" Sure. Hold tight and I'll be back in a moment. "
" Okay."
She waited patiently for Logan to bring Hank back. They walked in and Hank had been worried about her but was pleased to see her sitting up and some color in her cheeks.
" Well! You're awake! How are you?" Hank asked.
" I'm getting better. Hank, I have something important to ask you."
" Sure , anything Rogue."
" Hank, Logan has asked me to marry him, and I've accepted. But since I no longer have real parents, I was wondering if you'd give me away? Walk me down the aisle?" She looked hopeful.
His face softened. " Oh Rogue. I'd be honored. "

" Thank you so much! You've always been like a father to me and I'd be so happy having you walk with me."

" What wonderful news! I look forward to it. Just let me know the when and the where."

" We are planning on having it here. Thor has offered to hold the wedding here, and he would marry us. " Logan said.

" Oh! A wedding here on Asgard! That is a great idea! Well, then, what are we doing for clothes? " Hank asked.

" I guess we'll have to talk with Thor on that one. He said his mother will help with the dresses and planning the event. " Logan said. " We're going to announce it at the feast tomorrow night."

" All right, so mum's the word until then?" Hank asked.

" If you don't mind." Rogue grinned.

" Not at all."

" Well, Kitty and Pete know, but that's because they're our best man and maid of honor..." Rogue said.

" That makes sense, all right, well I'm going to go for now, but keep me posted."

" We will. Good night Hank and thank you!" Rogue said.

" You're most welcome. Now get your rest." Hank hugged her and then went up to Logan clasping his shoulder." I am truly honored. Good night."

" Good night Hank." Logan said. It may have been one of the few times that he didn't refer to Hank as fur-ball. Logan turned back to Rogue.

" This has been a busy evening. How are you feeling?"

" A little better than when you first came in."

" Good. Make some room, I want to get comfy."

She slid over enough for him to fit in beside her. He wrapped his arm around her and she snuggled in close.

" So this is how our nights will be from now on? Well, the nights that we aren't working until dawn?" She looked up at him with lots of love in her eyes.

" You better believe it kiddo. I'm not leaving your side. You're going to be stuck with me forever."

" Good. I'm glad you're back Logan."

" I am too. Now get some sleep. You'll feel much better in the morning."

" Not until you kiss me good night." She ordered.

" Deal." He supported her and kissed her long and deeply. Pulling out of it he stroked her jawline lightly." God you're so beautiful...Good night sweet heart." He kissed her forehead.
