Rogue's Love For A Wolverine(COMPLETED)

Thirteen Years Later

Logan and Rogue were curled up in bed. Lounging after a long day.
" Hey, the kids 13th birthday is coming up. We should do something really special don't you think?" Rogue asked as Logan snuggled her close.
" Yeah. You have anything in mind?"
" I was talking with Storm and we were thinking maybe a trip to Asgard to visit Odin and Frigga? It's been awhile. "
" That could work. Tomorrow let's try to get a hold of Thor and arrange it. But shouldn't we maybe do a real birthday party for their friends here?" Logan asked.
" Yeah, we should probably. What if we rent a big tent in case it rains. Do a pizza party and games and stuff?"
" Now you're talking!" Logan grinned.
Suddenly Henry was screaming up stairs. Both parents sat up and lunged from the bed to find out why their boy was screaming.
" Henry!" Logan yelled as he skidded to a stop at his son's door.
" Mom! Dad!!!"
" We're here ! " Rogue hollered.
Logan threw the door open and saw his son's hands bleeding, three bone claws protruding from each hand!
" Oh shit!" Logan said, he rushed to Henry's side. " Hey, it's okay Bub. You're all right!" He sat by him in the bed.
" Oh! Oh honey! Guess you're your father's son all right!  I'll go get the antiseptic and stuff to clean him up. You teach your boy how to use his new gift."
" Mom? What's wrong?" Catherine asked standing in her door rubbing her eyes.
" Oh, it's okay. Go back took sleep, your brother just found out what his mutant gift is."
Catherine's eyes widened. " He did? What is it?" Now the teen was wide awake.
" All right, go see. I have to get antiseptic. I'll be right in. "
Rogue grabbed the first aid kit and walked quickly back to her  son's room. As she approached she heard her family interacting and it made her heart so happy.
" Now, think about it and flex your hand, like this. " Logan said as he flexed the muscles in his hand showing Henry how to retract his claws. " Now you try. "
" Like this? " Henry did the same movement as his dad and his claws disappeared. "You got it!" Logan encouraged.
" Owe... It's cool but it hurts! " Henry flexed his fingers.
" Every damn time kid. " Logan explained.
Rogue walked in, " How's my boy? "
" Better now. That was scary! "
" I bet! Let me see those hands. " she  poured antiseptic on a soft cloth and took one of Henry's hands. " This is going to sting. " she v warned.
" It's okay mom, I can handle it. "
" That's my guy. " she grinned.
Henry flinched just a little, but didn't make a sound.
" Why did he get his gift first? " Catherine asked.
" Come here Baby. " Logan patted the bed by him.
Catherine did as her dad told her. Sitting by him looking up.
" We  talked about this. Mutant gifts come on at random times, nobody can predict when it'll happen to them. Sometimes it's from traumatic experiences, sometimes it's just the onset of puberty. But it's different for everyone. Your time will come. " Logan reassured her.
" I know, it's just not fair. " Catherine was very  disappointed.
" I know kiddo, but that's life. Your time will come." Logan kissed her forehead. " Listen, it's a school night, you best get back to bed and get some more sleep. All right?"
" Yes Daddy." She sighed and stood up.
" Catty my girl come here first." Rogue said. She stood and pulled her daughter close. " It's like Dad said. Your time will come. And when it does it'll be so beautiful, even this , though it hurts your brother's hands is beautiful. But your day will be just as important. Got it."
" Yes momma."
" Good. Go get some sleep now. Love you kiddo." Rogue missed her daughter's forehead like Logan did. " And you my boy, I know this is exciting, but you need sleep too. Got it? You can tell all your friends tomorrow at school."
" Okay mom." Henry hunkered back down in his bed.
" Sleep tight kid." Logan said, and he turned out the light after everyone was out.
He ran his fingers through he messy slept in hair. A stupid grin was on his face.
" What's your deal?" Rogue asked with a grin of her own.
" He's a chip off the old block!"
" Ahhhh I thought that's what was making you smile."
" I can't believe it's finally happened. I wonder what Cat's gunna have. "
" I've been praying that she'd get claws like you...I don't want her to have my gift..."
They climbed back into their bed. Logan pulled the covers around Rogue and snuggled in closer.
" Listen, your gift is still special, maybe if she does we could ask Frigga for an amulet or something like yours to help."
" Yeah. That's possible. Good idea babe." Rogue yawned.
"  Good night Babe." Logan nestled his face into her neck.
The next day at the school for gifted children Henry was the talk of the school. Storm and Rogue were in the lounge getting coffee and Rogue mentioned it to her.
" So Henry got his powers last night." She sipped her coffee looking to see the surprise on Storm's face.
" He did?! Really?!"
" Yep, guess who's Wolverine junior?"
" Oh my God! Claws , like Logan's?"
" The very same!"
" Oh my! How exciting! I can't wait to see them!"
" He had a nightmare that brought it on. Scared the shit out of us in the middle of the night!" Rogue giggled.
" I bet! Have you told Charles and Hank yet?"
" No I haven't seen them yet today."
" Oh, I'm so excited now! I'll be looking for him in the halls now." Storm was overjoyed.
" I'm sure the kids will be buzzing all around him."
" For sure. I better get back to the office. See you later!"
" See ya Storm!"
Rogue hurried back to class and finished her day. Logan was in the locker room suiting up to teach a defensive tactics class with Steve Rogers whom helped at the school from time to time between missions. He'd found that teaching kids how to be responsible with their powers was a very satisfying passtime.
" Hey Rogers, guess what?"
" What's up Wolverine?"
" My boy got his powers last night. We're going to be having a new addition to our class of I can get Rogue to Ok it."
" What? That's great! What's his power?"
" He got my claws!"
" No joke!"
" Yup. He had a nightmare in the middle of the night, woke the whole house! Scared the Hell out of us! I thought we were under attack!"
" Wow! That's great man. What about Cat?"
" Nothing yet. She was pretty upset that he got his first. She'll be all right eventually."
" Ahhhh, I'm sure she will."
" Yeah. I can't wait to  find out hers, Lord knows what the Hell she'll get."
" Should be interesting. You ready to go out?"
" Yep let's go teach some kids Bub."
As expected word got around fast. Henry was the talk of the school for the day. At the end of the day he went to his mother's room and they went to go see Charles and Hank in the office.
" Good after noon! You've been the talk around school all day! " Hank said.
" I know Papa Hank. " Henry adored Hank.
" Well? Can we see?" Hank asked.
" Mom? Can I?" He eyed up Rogue.
" Yes! Go on, its why we came here before meeting up  with Your sister and dad." She nodded.
" Here goes." He flicked his hands the way Logan taught him and six claws came out." Ahhh!" He growled a little at the pain.
" Impressive Henry! Just like your father! Charles smiled. " It does hurt though?"
" Every damn time!" Henry said.
" Henry! Language!" Rogue scolded.
Flinching, Henry apologized."Sorry mom."
" Just, be careful, I am trying to raise you into a gentleman..." She caught Hanks eye and he winked.
" Wolverine must be proud." Henry said.
" You bet! He has been beaming all day." Rogue grinned.
" Nothing with Cat?"
" No Not yet, she's not at all pleased , but I let her know her time is coming.  You know teenagers, they want their gifts yesterday..." Rogue shook her head.
" Ahhh, it'll happen." Hank nodded.
" Congratulations Henry! You'll be starting some knew classes very soon. Storm will help get you set up." Charles said.
" Cool. Hey mom? Can we do something for Cat? I kind of feel bad that she didn't get hers yet."
" What do you have in mind?"
" Could we go buy her favorite dessert to have after dinner?"
" Well, I think that's a great idea. I'll call your dad and tell him we'll meet him and Cat at home. I guess we better go if we're going to get to the store. Have a good night Professor , good night Hank," she hugged them both.
" Good night you both!" Charles said.
Hank extended his blue fury hand toward Henry," Congratulations Boy! Welcome to mutanthood!" He shook Henry's hand.
" Thanks Papa Hank! Thanks Professor Xavier!" Henry couldn't stop grinning.
" Okay, let's roll Bub." Rogue has silent so many years with Logan that he had rubbed off on her.
They hurried to the store and picked up cheesecake, Cat's favorite. Then they rushed home for dinner.
The family ate and had a great evening. Cat's mood improved when she saw the cheesecake. Her brother let her know that he felt bad for getting his powers first.
" Awe. Thanks Bro. I'm sorry I was mad about it. "
" It's okay sis. I'd probably be mad too. "
" Dad, is that what your claws were like before the Adamantium?" Cat asked.
Logan sat back and answered." Exactly like that."
" Wow..." Cat was shocked.
" Will I get Adamantium someday?" Henry  asked.
" Umm. No buddy." Rogue said she and Logan locked eyes.
" Henry, I don't want to tell you about the details on how I got the Adamantium. It's too much for you to need to understand."
" I can try." Henry pleaded.
" Henry, I was an experiment. Some bad guys used me to try and turn me into a weapon, they wanted me to do bad things. I don't ever want that for you."
" Dad, you kind of are a weapon." Cat said.
" Rogue when did our kids get so smart?"
" I don't know..." She grinned.
" Dad and I agree here to help protect the world and mutant kind. But think of us more like...police officers. We try to uphold the peace, but sometimes we have to fight to make that happen."
" Exactly." Logan agreed.
Dinner dishes were cleaned up by the kids then they had homework to do. The night was just a typical school night. And the family curled up on the couches in their living room with a movie to end the night.
