Who: Logan, Ororo; OPEN When: April 2nd, 2008 (1:00am) Where: Halls of Xavier's What: late night rendezvous Status: in progress Rating: PG-13
It was late and few were still awake. One of those people, the Wolverine, stalked the halls of Xavier's mansion nightly. Bed checks, security sweeps, and general hall monitoring were his mission; and he took them seriously. Well as serious as Logan took anything.
It had been over a month since Logan had returned to the mansion, and things only seemed to be getting worse. The mansion had been attacked, the Brotherhood was still there, Piotr was in a wheel chair, Zap and Hellcat had nearly killed each other, and despite some good efforts Rogue was still with Magneto. Logan promised the Professor he would let them try and get Rogue back his way, but Logan was getting tired of waiting. Bobby was out there with Rogue now, and if he struck out, Logan would step in. He'd noticed the two out by the stables on his patrol.
On top of all that, he had been keeping a healthy distance from Jean. She was dead. She died in his arms, by his hand. It took him a long time to accept he'd killed the woman he had loved. No matter how many times Xavier explained to Logan what had happened, it still didn't sit right. So far as Logan believed, once someone died, they were gone. He wasn't going to spend anymore time mourning Jean Grey - he'd done it twice. She had a husband who equally boggled his mind. They could deal with each other together.
He turned a corner and started back toward the kitchen. He'd stay up until he noticed Bobby sneaking back into the mansion. Besides, he needed a beer.
