Logan was almost suprised when she leaned into the kiss, returning the kiss with her need. He pulled her close and just stood there, holding the shaking woman. He could sense her weakness and it pulled at his insinct to defend and comfort. He would be there for as long as she needed him. He just held her close...
The beast was practically jumping for joy inside of him. It had been right, she needed him... But Logan knew that he loved her more than the beast ever could. He gave her a light squeeze and whispered, "Victoria, you are a strong woman...and that is what makes you remarkable...If you ever need me...just come...or flame me...which ever you like. It wont hurt me...atleast not for long." He joked lightly, cradling her close. He was trying to get her to smile, just a little one...A smile that the beast and him craved.

She just stood there, leaning against him, and breathed. Letting him take care of the watching. It was nice. Why hadn’t she thought of this before? Because your bone headed. Plus fire doesn’t listen to reason. she heard in her own head. She ignored it though, like usual. It was annoying, though always told the truth. She closed her eyes carefully before she heard his voice again.
It got that smile that logan was looking for. ”I try to not flame people unless they deserve it. And you don’t.” she murmured, seriously not wanting to move. He was warm, and safe. Her eyes closed again, and she did relax quite a bit more. Releasing her tention. It frustraited her that she couldn’t fix the problems of the world, but for now that could be placed on the back burner. ”I have a new friend by the way. The mutant? Jae. She’s… become a shadow of sourts, unless I ask her not to be… I’m not sure she’d be able to deal with going to the institute.” she said softly, lifting her head up to look at him. She didn’t know why she said that, but she thought he should know.

Logan felt Tori begin to relax. This is what he wanted...He moved his hands from her waist to begin rubbing the tight muscles of her back. He chuckled slightly when she told him about her new 'friend'. "I was going to ask why you smelled like a mutant cat...Was she scared away by your scary temper yet?" He caught her gaze and held it, his eyes soft with calmness and a little love.
He listened to the rest of her sentence, worried crossed his face. He pulled away to hold her at arm length. "Is she alright? What do you mean she can't handle the Institute?" He had a fatherly concern in his voice, eyes reflecting his sincerity. He then pulled her close again. "She did not hurt you, did she?"

Tori smiled a little when his hands started to move. ”No. She either hasn’t noticed, or just doesn’t care. I haven’t figured it out. Then again turning into a cat, or dog, or lizard or practically anything else can pretty much keep me from getting to angry.” she said with a little grin. She looked away first, but she was unsure why she felt shy of all things.
She nodded. ”She’s fine. Just… she freaks out when anyone new comes around. And I mean anyone. She flipped on Richard. Though I guess having six foot four, blond male walking into my kitchen at five in the afternoon can be pretty terrifying, expecially when he hadn’t brushed his hair, but still. It was just someone new. I don’t even want to know how she’d react to Medic, or you.” Both were a great deal more terrifying. Well with one being old and odd looking, and the other with claws. I mean really. ”I don’t think she would hurt me. I’m her guardian. I think. Though I have no doubt that if she really wanted to she could. I just don’t think she knows how. She’s like a five year old. Or littler.” She frowned slightly thinking about it. She understood the reason’s behind it, but not much more than that. She was a healer, but a healer of minds? No. She didn’t have that kind of power. She didn’t think she knew any kind of healer who could.

Logan smiled. So she is a shifter then...not a telepath like we were led to believe..." His voice sounded a bit disappointed. He had been hoping that this girl would be able to operate Cerebro, being a telepath, but it looked like it was not going to happen. He smiled in spite of this. "So next time your angery, I just need to get Jae to give you the puppy eyes?"
Logan nodded at the next part to her words. "I see...well. That happens when your tested on...It happened to me...took me a long time to trust again...20 years in fact..." He listened to the last bit, struggling to wrap his mind around what she just said...Five??? "Like she is Five? It said that she was 19 on her file... or younger? " He gave her a confused look, bordering on disbelief...He did not know that she was actually insane...or just did not believe it.

She shook her head. ”No she’s a telepath, but she’s… bent her powers. Changing her form. It’s… difficult to understand. Even I’m not sure, but the doctor’s are all pretty sure she’s a telepath. That and she has a… inserted her thoughts in my head? I’m sure she can read my mind, but I don’t think she’s got any control of it.” she said thoughtfully, thinking. ”She’s been doing that Logan.” she muttered, and it hadn’t helped. It had only reminded her of her basic problem.
She frowned, twenty years? She didn’t like the sound of that. For him or jae. ”She’s nineteen in body. She’s insane… So basic reactions. Fear, hunger, joy, things like that, are easy for her, but anything above that? I don’t think so. Which is why she’s staying in my room until she figures out that no one is going to hurt her, at least not here. Though that can be hard to understand when everyone is doing ‘dangerous’ things like throwing their power’s around, like what happens every day here.” she was just babbling mostly, but there was something in there. She was really worried and it showed, in her face.

Logan's eyes brightened a bit as she said they THOUGHT she was a telepath. So all hope was not lost...untill she confirmed she was not right in the mind. He had been hoping that she was only in shock, but....ah... He shook his head slightly. "I had been hopin that it was not true...But atleast she still has her powers...Xavier once said..." He broke off, his eyes dimming. He missed his friend...and wished he was there to give him guidence once more...
Logan swallowed quickly before forcing himself to continue. " He said that if a telepath ever had his or her mind...uh...shattered? That they would loose thier power and most likely die...There might be hope that she could recover..." He looked down at Tori, concern evident in every line of her face. Logan gave her a loving squeeze. "I'm glad that she trusts you at least...It might take awhile, but she might be able to settle in here...It would probably be best... Too many new people coming and going at the Insitute anyway..Maybe someday though..." He looked away, sadness in his eyes. How he wished that Xavier was here now...He could help this poor child...in more ways than one.

Tori looked up and saw his look. She didn’t mean to disappoint! She frowned slightly, a bit worried, but she shielded it. She hugged him slightly when he seemed… to get depressed after the Xavier. She’d never met Professor X. Though she’d seen him from a distance (Low and behold, with Wolverine, Storm, Cyclops and Jean Gray standing behind him. Though two of that number had fallen since then, and she knew storm before then, but still.) He was a sort of… unsung hero of the SMMO. Everyone knew of him, what he’d done, what he stood for. Though no one sung him praises.
”If I remember correctly and this being only a year ago, Pheonix was insane. Very very insane. Yet she didn’t die from her power’s disappearing.” she said softly. ”Not sure the Professor was correct there. Though he might be. Jae’s.. proving that she’s shattered, though I don’t know if she’s totally insane. She has… a childlike quality.” something she’d seen before. Usually followed by lots of anger. She could see that something was bothering Logan though.
It took her only a second. ”You miss him. Don’t you?” she asked softly, reaching out and touching the side of his face. ”Xavier. You miss him.” she watched him carefully. ”I don’t know much about him. But what I do know is that he wouldn’t want his friends to morn to long.”

Logan gave a small smile to Tori when she said that there still may be hope for the girl. He had had 100 years to live his life before his beastiality had drove him into madness, but this girl had it stollen from her...practically at birth. Well, Pheonix was more of a seperate entity from Jean...like my beast is to me... But Jae has a chance at healing if someone could piece together her inner self..." He broke off, his voice dieing in his throat. The only people he knew that could give Jae a chance were now gone, along with her chance at a normal mutant life. Logan shut his eyes and his posture sort of sloutched, which was very unlike him.
Logan was almost suprised when he heard Tori reach out a delicate hand to touch the side of his face. He leaned into it, turning his head to the side, needing the comfort that it gave. Yes...He missed his friend..."Yes...I do miss him...He pulled me from life as a creature and gave me a new purpose in live...to protect..." He broke off, fighting agaist the waves of sorrow that washed over him.
Here was a wound on his heart that he was not sure would ever mend...He took a deep breath, eyes still closed and in a hoarse voice, continued,"I knew that I would out-live Xavier...and everyone else... but... with his death...too soon..." His voice became softer and softer, growing even more unsteady."I lived with him in the Mansion, doing what he said needed doing...But he was my friend...my first true one since my powers overwhelmed my humanity...and I failed him...I failed at the thing I had sworn to myself I would do...protect him until his last breath of old age...I failed...I failed... His voice was cut off as a shudder racked his body. There he had said it. He had said what had been poisoning his heart and mind. The reason why he no longer slept...to run away from his glaring failure...and death of his friend as a result.Logan froze every muscle in his body, not allowing any more emotion to show. His eyes opened and they blankly stared off into the woods, his face still leaning on Tori's hand.

Tori nodded. It looked like she was going to have to do a search. See if she could find any more telepaths. Any. Even a weak one may just be able to help the girl. She thought about it with a quiet mind, wondering what she could do.
She frowned when Logan started to break off, almost loose himself. Ah here it was. Here was the problem. Hm. She listened, keeping her hand against his face, watching him with worry, and love, and compassion. Things easily controlled, and easily used.
”Charles Xavier wasn’t exactly a young man Logan, And from what I understand, and what Storm has told me, he went pretty willingly. You forget something. Professor X did the same as you. Swearing to protect mutants until he died. He did. Sometimes... The one must be sacrificed for the many.” she wasn’t making much sence, at least to her. She frowned, deeper, as she tried to explain.
”I think he knew what he was getting into when he went into that house. He’s the one who put the block on Gray in the first place. So he had to know what he was facing. Just because he was your first friend doesn’t mean he’s your only one. Storm seems to be a friend, Rogue, Iceman, Beast, and there’s others. Just becuase he's gone... doesn't mean you have to stop protecting.” she went quiet after that, not speaking just watching him, trying to not hug him, and let him figure it out, because she was pretty sure hugging him was not going to make it better. For her? Yes, always, but him? She didn’t think so.

Logan listened to Tori, not quite hearing everything she said. It had been his failure...He could have been blasted apart and healed in a few months... His eyes retained their glassy quality as he turned to look at Tori."They are colleges, people I can trust when I work...but beyind that...no."
He looked over her shoulder not meeting her eyes. Something was still wrong, and he was not sure he could admit it. He did not want to admit his weakening hold on his humanity, as a direct result of Xavier's death. He had wished hundreds of times that it had been him that had taken Grey on, for there was no real way to destroy him...at least..that he knew. "I was supposed to be the one sacrificed for many...cause my sacrifice would have only cost a few days of my un-ending life... He said gruffly, taking a set towards the woods. The beast was now urgeing him to run and hide, to get away from the weakness he was showing now...And it was winning..."I have to go... He said quietly before striding off into the woods.

Tori didn’t believe him. ”Rogue is no college of yours. That I’m sure of.” she said very softly, though her voice had taken on a slight edge. He was wallowing. She hated it when people wallowed. She really, really did. It didn’t get anything done. She tried to catch his gaze but of course he was avoiding. She wondered what she was going to do with him.
Then he started to pull away. Mentally she swore in multiple languages. Supid idiotic males! Always having to be strong, and powerful, and un feeling. Damn idiotic stupid annoying friken males. Though she changed her tactics in her head, she’d already had the ‘your being an idiot for running away’ argument. ”Logan… Don’t… Please…” she let the other half of her that was terrified of him walking away, and the possilibity that he’d disappear and not come back (she’d had that happen before, so it wasn’t hard to let herself feel that), show through her voice.
She looked down as he walked away. It was easy for her to let her emotions take control, though a part of her sat back and watched. Yes she was manipulaiting, but she wasn’t about to let him walk away from the situation. Plus she didn’t do this often, and she needed to anyways, it was a clencing experience. Why not get him to use his head? And stop letting the beast control him. It was all in his head, she knew that. She dealt with animal based mutants all the time. They spoke of similar things, and they always were able to control it. Why not him?
She closed her eyes as she tried to control the now true panic. ”Please don’t leave… Please.” she opened her eyes again watching his back. ”I don’t want to loose you… I… love you.” she surprised herself with the last two words though. Hm, interesting. The fire was amused by the fact that she was in love with the man.

Logan froze as he heard her admittance of love for him...FOR HIM. The beast recoiled, confused by the suddenness of this outward show of raw emotion. They senced panic in the woman, and that made the man want to comfort and protect...but the beast thought something was up...
Logan turned slowly to face the wmoan, not quite taking in what she had said as true. After a quick examination of the worry and panic in her body as well as the love in her panic striken eyes, he knew she was tellin the truth. He began to walk towrds her, and the beast fought 'his every step with a feral ferosity. As he approached, he raised a hand to offer it to her."I'm losin it...If you really love me...help me.." his voice said, it sounding almost in-human. She could almost see the battle raging inside him, and the beast trying to flee the flames.

She was extreamly happy to have him moving back towards her, towards where she could reach him. Then he held out his hand and a voice that she didn’t quite comprehend came out of his mouth, but she reacted quickly and grabbed his hand, stepping close to him, and pulling herself close to him. The panic was gone, smoothed away as soon as he’d turned, and held out his hand. She looked him in the eyes, holding his gaze.
Then she leaned up and kissed him, slipping her hands behind his head to make sure he didn’t pull away. She fully enjoyed herself and when she pulled back she cocked her head to the side. ”I do love you.” it was a statement, though a small bit of puzzlement came through, as if she was surprised at her own reaction. She kept watching him, wondering what was going through his head, and fully glad she couldn’t hear it.
”I won’t let you go Logan. Not ever.” she murmured keeping herself close to him, something that he could lock on to, which she found herself hoping would be her. She wondered if part of the reason she desired him to be close was because in his own way he’d promised to help her. And now she needed to return the favore.

As soon as Tori took hold of his hand, Logan's mind was thrown into termoil. The beast shreeked, being forced away from it's simi-hold of his bodies actions. Tori's flame gave humanity the shot it needed to regain control. He leaned into the kiss, returning it in full. Afer she broke it and promised never to let him go... Something fell into place in his mind.
Logan reached out and crushed her to him, hugging her tightly. He had needed someone to step up...give him a chance to be weak...a chance to be himself...Xavier had done that for him, keeping him safe while his beast was let out for a run...And now Tori had filled his place.I...I love you." he whispered, tucking his face into her neck. He sqeezed her tightly real quick and heard the small pop of a bone cracking...
Logan relised her like he had been shot. Worry lanced his exspression as he reailized what he had done. Terror flitted through his mind before his common sence pushed it back.. Tori might be breakable like a human, but she would heal a wond like that in a day or so...Stepping up, he held her very gently...I'm sorry sweetling...I did not mean to hurt you...honest..." His voice almost sound boy-ish and a small smiled flitted across his face in the blink of an eye. He then schooled it back to calm concern.
