Logan lay on his bed in his new room in Xavier’s mansion, which was where Victor had brought him after the debacle at Alkali Lake. For the first time in as long as he could remember, his mind felt whole again.
And he was pissed as hell at his brother.
Logan couldn’t help but wonder how things could have turned out very differently if Victor hadn’t kidnapped him and locked him in a basement all of those years ago. Oh, Logan understood from the brief time that Moonlight had inhabited his body and the information that Maya had left behind that things would have progressed in a way to get him to where he needed to be no matter what.
But how could his own brother do those kinds of things to him?
Worse yet, how could he miss them?
Perhaps that was the most disturbing thing to Logan of all, that he wanted some of that strange relationship with his brother back. It was this desire that kept Logan from fleeing from the mansion.
There was a light knock at the door. “Come in,” Logan called out.
The man who Victor had introduced as Eric Lehnsherr opened the door and walked in. “I trust you are settling in?” Eric greeted him.
“Uh, yeah,” Logan grunted. It seemed like everyone in the mansion had been avoiding him like the plague, even his own brother, except for Eric and Charles. “I’m just wondering what it is I’m going to be doing here.”
“Why, helping us with the charge that Maya gave to your brother, of course,” Eric answered. “While the others were off trying to rescue you, Charles and I did some research into this En Sabah Nur fellow. It seems he is also known as ‘Apocalypse’. And he wants to rule the world, which is the short version of his story.”
Logan shook his head. “What about Moonlight? Is it s a good idea to leave her with my son and Wade?”
Eric chuckled. “It seems that those two are still arguing over what to name the child, but they are attempting to get settled in down in the city for the time being.” Eric folded his hands in front of himself. “Charles and I both thought it best if Wade and Daken both kept their distance from you for a while, but were close enough that we could keep our eyes on… Name To Be Decided.”
“’Name To Be Decided’? Hell of a name for my granddaughter,” Logan grunted in amusement.
“I’m sure the two of them are taking suggestions,” Eric offered. “Have you talked to Victor at all since you got back.”
Logan shrugged. “Ain’t got nothin’ to say to him,” was his response.
“You can’t avoid him forever,” Eric pointed out. “Especially since the two of you will eventually have to work together again. We can’t afford to have any mishaps because of a lover’s spat.”
With that nugget of wisdom, Eric left Logan to his thoughts. Grimacing, Logan realized that one of them would have to be the bigger man and approach the other first. He mostly suspected that Victor was giving him space or something like that.
Fine, he would make the first move.
Taking a deep breath and girding the proverbial loins, Logan left his room to search out Victor. Logan found his brother working with a group of teenagers on what looked like fighting skills.
When Victor saw his little brother approaching, he told the students that today’s lessons were over. The two men stared at each other silently.
“We need to talk,” Logan said.
Authoress Notes:
First, let me explain Chapter 13:
I was so ready for Book 2 to be done. Hence, the “quickness” of Chapter 13. Rather than drag it out for another five chapters, I kind of pared everything down into one chapter. Because I am sooo ready for this to move on all ready!
Some of you were probably scratching your heads and going “En Sabah who? D’Ken? Aliens? WTF?” Remember, I’m trying to bring the comics into this. If you’re wondering where some of this might be going, go google some of the names. Then you should be like… “Ah, I’m still not exactly sure why she did that, but now it makes a little more sense!”
X-men 1-3 never happened in my AU.
What Is Going to Happen Next:
There will essentially be three more ‘books’.
Books 3 and 4 will run concurrently with each other. I felt that Moonlight was TOTALLY about to take away from the original story, which was a Victor/Logan Brocest tale. So, book… let’s say 4 will be a bunch of drabbles/short stories about her upbringing. Book 3 will be another set of drabbles/short stories about Victor and Logan (a) working out their issues, (b) having sex, and (c) getting ready for the coming of Apocalypse.
I plan to start Book 5, about the war with Apocalypse, probably something with Romulus, and tying up all those nasty loose ends, sometime in April, 2011.
Until then, I seriously need some ideas as for what Daken and Wade’s kid should be. The first short stories should be up in a week, and I have no idea what to call the kid!
