Storm watched as Rogue swept past the kitchen door on her way to the elevator, but heard her stop in her tracks, turn and walk back. With as much composer as Ororo knew Rogue could gather at that moment, saw her stop in the door way, look at both Scott and her, and then say with through her teeth, "Ah’ll be in the danger room if anyone wants to know…" and then turned and stormed off again.
Ororo turned to look at Scott. "Should we have told her that Logan is in there?"
"I don’t think it would have done any good… she seems pretty upset."
"I assume that she and Remy did not resolve anything."
Just as she was about to continue, she heard someone walk into the kitchen. A small smile crossed her lips as she saw Remy standing in the doorway in his boxers and open rob, she had to admit that he did have a great physique.
"Non, not’ing was resolved. Chere would not even tell Remy what was wrong, jus’ kept sayin’ somet’ing ‘bout a bad dream…" With a sigh, Remy moved across the kitchen to sit next to Scott.
"That seems to be happening a lot around here lately" Scott replied with a concerned look plastered across his face.
"What you mean by dat mon ami?"
"Jean had a nightmare last night too, the first one in quite a while." He looked from Remy to Ororo, and then noticed the slightly off look on her face. "What is it?"
"I did not want to say anything for fear of upsetting anyone, but I had a nightmare last night as well. It was very upsetting. I dreamt that I had lost control of myself and had…" Her voice dropped a level lower, almost as if she was ashamed to continue. "Had murdered Hank and Kurt."
Remy and Scott’s face were devoid of any emotion. They had never expected her to say anything like what they just heard.
Just then they heard the elevator ding, and the sound of footsteps that were undeniably Wolverine. They watched him as he walked past the doorway and mumble "something’s up with the Danger Room" and growl as he headed upstairs. Shortly after, in the distance they heard a soft hum in the air as the mansion began to quake and they knew that the picnic was over and the others were returning home.
Ororo smiled faintly, "I will go tell Hank to take a look at the controls." And with that she left the kitchen and headed for the sub-basement.

Hank lowered the Bird down into the opening in the ground with expert skill; the landing gear making contact with the ground so softly that they never even felt the touchdown. Bobby looked at Hank with a slightly upset expression.
"How come you never let me drive anymore?"
"Considering the last time that you were behind the wheel, we nearly hit a mountain, I would say it was for the better of the team that you never fly again. I would rather train Kurt here to fly."
"Hey that mountain came out of nowhere, it could have happened to anybody…" He protested with a whine in his voice.
"I don’t think I vould like to learn to fly thiz jet…" Said Kurt coolly.
"I don’t think you’ll have to learn Kurt, unless something were to happen to ‘Ro, we don’t need another pilot." Hank re-assured him with a kind glance back at him.
"I still don’t see why I can’t fly…"
Bobby always seemed to have bit of a childish attitude to his nature, even for a full-grown man, but everyone seemed to just accept it of him. It kind of made him fun to be around, he was always ready to horse around or make prank phone calls. As Hank opened the exit hatch that turned into the stairs down out of the jet, the kids filed out one-by-one, followed by the adults, and lastly the professor.
Hank was very pleased to see Storm there to great them all, and finally had the chance to thank her for the lovely weather. As he approached her she smiled. He loved that smile; he could see her smile at him all day and still crave more.
"I’m sure that we have you to thank for today’s perfect morning."
"I was more than glad to lend a hand Hank"
"Well then, shall we convene with the others upstairs?
"Yes I believe that we should, and perhaps we should take a look at the controls for the Danger Room, Logan mentioned something about them."
Hank smiled at her, he loved that she was always interested in learning the techniques for repairing things. "Lead the way my dear" he spoke as he motioned with his arm for her to take the lead. Ororo nodded and they turned into the open elevator that the professor had sent back for them.
As they walked into the control room to inspect things, they flipped the lights on for both this and the danger room. As they sat down, Hank began to examine the panel as Ororo surveyed the area, then noticing something laying on the floor of the danger room in a heap, she elbowed Hank. When he finally looked up at her, she pointed to the object on the floor.
"What is that?"
"I have no clue, who was the last to use the room?"
"I believe that it was Logan"
"Well that would explain a tremendous lot. Logan is always leaving something behind him when he uses this place." Just as they were about to overlook it, they saw it moving.
"Dear Goddess…" Ororo whispered. Hank looked closer at the object and then gasped. As it tried to move, he noticed it, that white streak of hair signature only to one person.
"Who did you say was in here last?" A sudden concern overtaking his voice.
"Logan was the last…" she was about to finish her sentence until something came to her mind. Rogue had followed suit to the danger room to vent off steam. Ororo pushed a button on the control panel that operated a two-way speaker system that ran through the house, she pushed the one for the kitchen hoping that he was still there.
"Scott?" she waited
"Yes Storm?"
"You had better get down to the Danger Room… there is a problem. You might bring Remy down with you, we may need him as well."
"What’s wrong?"
"I will tell you when you get here. Find out where Logan is and keep him there, the professor may want a word with him after…" she released the button and looked at Hank.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Scott heard the speaker click off as Ororo let go of the button. Something was seriously wrong. He looked at Remy then and was met by the same look of confusion. With a deep breath Scott turned and headed out of the kitchen bumping into Bobby in the hallway.
"Ouch…" Bobby said as he rubbed his shoulder.
"Sorry Bobby"
"It’s okay… just be more careful next time." He started to walk away.
"Hey Bobby, can you do me a favor?"
"Do I have a choice?"
"Well not really"
"Alright, what is it?"
"Find Logan and keep an eye on him, don’t let him leave the mansion"
"Alright… but why?"
"I’m not sure yet"
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Hank heard the door to the danger room open and then the hurried footsteps of the two men. He took a deep breath as he heard them near; he knew this was going to be hard, especially on Gambit. He had examined Rogue and found her injuries were not as bad as they looked, but she was still unconscious and he could not determine how long she would remain that way.
"Mon Deiu!" He heard Remy exclaim as he ran to Rogue’s side. "What happened to de femme?"
"Logan…" Hank replied still in a small examination of the girl.
"Logan did dis to mon chere?"
"It appears that way Remy"
"Remy will teach dat filty animal to keep ‘is hands off.."
"Not right now you wont, we need you to help us get her to the med lab, Ororo must go and see the professor, I will need you and Scott to help me in the lab."
"Merde. Alright, Remy will help, anyt’ing for de femme."
As they all walked out of the Danger Room, and all climbed into the elevator, Hank carrying Rogue in his arms, and Ororo watching Remy with concern. "Promise me you will not go after Logan until I have spoken with Charles. I would like to be there when you confront him, to help you keep your tempers in line." Remy nodded his response, the rage inside him keeping him from speaking, but he gave her a glance that told her he’d taken her words to heart, as he always did with his Stormy and she knew that.
As the elevator reached the next floor the four of them watched the door open and were a bit surprised to see Jean standing there.
"Jean!" Scott said as he stepped forward to hug her, having not seen her all morning. "Where have you been all morning?"
"In the Med-lab, I couldn’t sleep so I came down here in the night and got caught up on some work, but that doesn’t matter right now, let’s get Rogue onto a bed." Hank, Remy and Scott all stepped out and followed Jean into the med-lab, Ororo stayed in the elevator and continued up another story. She was sure that Charles already knew what had happened, but she wanted to discuss it with him anyway. Then she would discuss it with Logan…
