Title: repeated history

Disclaimer: I don't own anything at all; the X-men belong to Marvel and whoever else that made those movies. I'd like to own Hugh Jackman but you know he's..he's *sniff* married I think. Oh well read on.

Summary: Its three years since the first movie (I'm going to pretend the second one didn't happen) And after two years of waiting around for Logan to return Marie decides that the mansion is just too lonely without him and does what her inner Logan wants: runs off. Too bad she just missed Logan by a week. And when he came back, lets just say he was pissed and went off to find her. It's been a year since then.

Pairing(s): L/M- S/J

Marie walked into her latest `home`, the Rue Royal; a dingy little bar
that had what she wanted, a cage, a bar and plenty of drunk idiots to be
up and take their money. She shivered and then ordered a beer, Canada was
a lot colder then she remembered. She smiled at the memory of seeing
Logan in a bar just like this and their first meeting, but then she
remembered she was supposed to be pissed at him and pushed back the fuzzy
memory. She got her beer and thanked the bartender today she was
celebrating her anniversary, of leaving the mansion of course. So it
wasn't a great celebrating cause but it worked she take what she could
get these days.

her inner Logan chimed in

/oh Logan leave her alone don't you see she is lonely? / Carol said
practically slapping him for being so inconsiderate /Marie dear you know
you can always go back right? /Carol said trying to coax her once again
back to the mansion. Carol, carol was one of the reasons she had to
leave. Carol Danvers or better know as Ms. Marvel was now a permanent
occupant of Marie's head thanks to the little absorbing accident that had
happened a year after Logan left. Xavier finally had let her on a mission
after much training and it had been a big one. A huge riot had broken out
at a mutant refuge in South America, Ms. Marvel was doing her best to
keep things under control but she called for Xavier's help non the less
and the X-men were in their way. The fight was long and brutal and Rogue
(She wouldn't let anyone but Logan call her Marie) was doing her best to
help out by helping other helpless mutants find shelter and safety.
That's when she saw it, Ms. Marvel was struck down when she wasn't
prepared for it and fell from then sky. Rogue rushed to her and even
before Ms. Marvel told her, Rogue knew she wasn't going to live long.
//////flash back/////////
*Marie, oh dear child you look sad what's the matter?* She asked

*You don't look so good why don't Ah try and carry you-* But Marvel
wouldn't let her finish

*We both know I wont make the trip so don't even try* A single tear
escaped Maries eyes *Now don't cry for what you must do next takes
strength and courage that only you have* Marvel said with a weak smile.
Marie's eyes grew wide in terror and shook her head furiously knowing
what Marvel was requesting.

*Now Marie you must, you have to help them and they need you. Marie do it
please this is the last thing I want, I want to make sure all is safe
here* Marie tearfully took off her gloves and held Ms. Marvels face in
her hands and felt the connection open up at once then all went black.
She woke up on a metal table in Jean's med lab. Jean was talking to
Professor Xavier about what was the matter with her, and there was
nothing but her brain waves are off the charts

*no shit Jean Ah just absorbed a very powerful mutant here* She said
thinking that she was talking to herself but obviously Jean and Xavier
had heard her.

*Child what did you just say?* Xavier asked really pissing off Rogue I
am not a child or kid or young like that anymore, cant anyone see that I
have grown up? geez Ah'm on the freakin' X-men for goodness sake!

Xavier said.
Rogue looked down at herself in surprise, her anger had cause her to be
distracted enough to float into the air without her even trying causing
Jean's eyes to nearly pop out of her head.

Carol
interrupted and took over Rogue's body despite the little resistance
Rogue gave. Rogue/Carol Stood up and started to explain the entire story
and how Rogue was innocent and never hurt Carol but merely did what she
asked.

*Carol that was quite helpful but also unneeded, we would have never
looked at Rogue any different. We all know she would never hurt anyone
intentionally.*

But in the months and then next year to come Xavier would eat his words.
Somehow the word got out that Rogue had used her powers to absorb someone
fully and the next thing she knew everyone would go out of their way to
avoid her, she sat alone at lunch and found herself in the back of the
classes with a circle of empty desks around her.
This really enraged both Carol and her inner Wolverine, yes wolverine was
just about as strong in her head as Carol being that she absorbed Logan
twice and almost absorbed him once fully. After the third year of no
Logan she was miserable and thoughts of suicide came through her head but
Carol always reasoned with her and Wolverine constantly told her what
happened if he'd come back to find her dead. He assured her that he would
kill himself too. So finally after much debate between herself and her
alter egos she decided to run. She was finished with school (even sat
alone at graduation) and life here was unbearable save for Scott, he was
like a big brother but that wasn't enough she needed to just be gone. So
she packed her bags and stole Scott's bike and road to Canada. And that's
where she was now.

Rogue started to argue with her.

// Rogue, you damn well that you wont be isolated now that you can
control your powers! Jesus Rogue you could a month after you ran and you
still insist on wearing gloves and the green and yellow body suites!
Carol yelled at her. So it was true she could control her powers now, it
took her a month of solid mutation but she finally found her 'switch' and
a way to block any way for Charles to find her using magneto's help (yup
he was still in there too but Wolverine always made sure he stayed in his
place)But she still wore lots of cover just incase she was brushed up
against and her switch wasn't fully off. Spandex was often made fun of
but hey it made flying a lot easier and gave lots of range of movement.

He still
called her Marie, he was the only one allowed, and even Carol knew to
call her Rogue. She back out of her mind and let then fight it off for a
while. Fighters came and went in the cage fights most didn't last two
battles before they had to be drug away.

"So Mr. Bartender who am Ah up against this evenin'" She asked
her thick southern drawl still prominate in her voice.

"Well little lady it looks like you actually might have some trouble
this evening, this guy hasn't been beaten yet and is well know through
the circuits to be un beatable and he is coming here tonight." He said
talking to her while she made her way to the cage, all the guys
snickered.

'She's a girl' they yelled and 'I can't hit a pretty face like that'
this just made her smile she felt the rage build up. She loved this part,
proving them all wrong. She had long ago mastered Carols powers, it
didn't take her long to realize she could fly (yeah figured that one out
quickly) had super strength and
invulnerability (only when she was expecting to get hurt though so she
now always expected it). All this in a curvy package and a mane of red
tinted and white hair, well hell she was unstoppable.

It took four knockouts in a half an hour to finally quite the crowd on
theirs cat calls. Ever fight she would let them hit a couple of times,
even though a few of them were reluctant to hit a girl. That always
changed as she started to throw a few weak punches at them, she did this
act for a while before she got bored and knocked them out with one good
placed punch. She then turned around and took a sip of her whiskey (a
habit Logan had bestowed on her) and a drag of her cigar (Logan). She
rested against the cage dramatically like she was tired even though she
wasn't even winded and put on another performance when the next idiot
came into her cage.

"Isn't there anyone here manly enough to beat this girl, the Rogue?" The
announcer yelled, smart guy challenging there manly hood and all, Marie
thought. Then the hairs went up on her back and she tensed. she asked him nervously

he gave a loving
growl and a chuckle.

////////////////////////////////////Logan
POV/////////////////////////////////

He had followed her scent to this bar a dingy thing that his Marie should
never should even consider going into. He hadn't seen her in three years,
and had been on the search for her for a year now. He had returned to the
mansion after three years of dead ends and he was looking forward to
seeing his 'kid'. She was the only reason he had come back and when he
rushed into her room with a smile on his face no less she was gone. Her
scent was faded and some of her clothes were gone. The others weren't
surprised they all acted as though she was probably going to do this.
From what he threatened out of them, she was lonely and isolated herself
from the general school to such a degree that even her normal activities
such as art and music were done in her room. Chuck and Scotter had told a
different story from Jeans. Apparently she has absorbed a mutant on a
MISSION! They had sent his innocent Marie on a mission, he growled to
that. And somehow the whole school found out about it and they isolated
her to a point that they would part like the red sea when she walked down
the halls or the stairs. And about three weeks ago she had run off in the
middle of the night stealing one of Scott's bikes (he gave a smirk). The
professor said they had tried to follow her on cerebro but a few days ago
she had just fallen off the face o the earth. Logan didn't even say
goodbye or unpack he just took off again looking for her.

And now there she was not a hundred feet in front of him, and what was
she doing in the CAGE! She was leaning up against it smoking a cigar and
taking a swig of something that resembled whiskey, Jesus this can't be
Marie. But it was the hair, her beautiful face but where did all those
curves come from? And since when did she where a spandex bodysuit that
clung to her like that with heals no less?! He watched her stand up
strait and nearly fell over she was what you call knock down gorgeous
cause he just about fell down seeing her like that, where the hell did
she get those curves?! He almost ran over to her when a guy got into the
ring and almost unleashed his claws when the guy hit HIS Marie and she
fell to the ground. He let out a growl and run up to the cage.

"Hey sugah" She said with a smile. This was an act all an act, just like
he used to do, he let go a sigh of relief and let her finish the fight.
She knocked him out with one punch, wow.

//////
"Last fight of the night, last fight. Is there anyone here that won't
lose to a girl? Are no men here?" She gave a chuckle to the announcers
teasing. Logan was here and watching here intently.

"Darlin' can't we get out of here? I want to get you back to the mansion
in one piece." He said through the cage

"Sorry sugah, I am not going back there unless you carry me out of this
cage." She said taking another drink from her whiskey and playing with
his tags around her neck. Logan gave a low growl and went to the cage
door and let himself in.

"Oh our last challenger! And what may your name be?" The announcer called
out

"Wolverine." Logan growled. The crowd went wild at the sound of the
familiar name and the prospects of a good fight. Rogue just smiled Her inner
wolverine teased.

Logan just let open his arms offering her the first punch, and she accepted. She hit him with enough of her strength to make him fly and crash against the cage making it rattle so hard that it seemed it was going to fall down.

*Well crap, she must have took her vitamins today* Logan thought rubbing his head. Then the loves were off, literally, she took off her gloves and continued her assault.*What the hel-* He couldn't even finish the thought before she punched him again.

All the built up emotions for the past four years were suddenly swimming around her head and tears started to form in her eyes and before she knew it she was yelling at him.

"Do you have any idea.(punch).how lonely it is when people think you have the plague or something?(punch) And do you know (punch) how many nights (punch) Ah cried waiting for you (punch) Did you realize how lonely Ah was? (punch) Bobby broke (punch) up (punch) with me (punch) because Ah (punch) cried (punch) for you." Full on tears were streaming down her face and her knuckles were starting to hurt but she still continued.

"Everyone at school (punch) was scarred to even (punch) be near (punch) me (punch) even your love (punch.a really hard one) Jean was avoiding me. (punch) Did you know Ah loved you (punch) no of course not (punch) Ah (punch) was (punch) a (punch) kid (punch) Plus you love Jean (another really hard punch)" *Wow my Marie really isn't to found of the doctor* She was defeated her punched were no longer the enthusiastic ones she was throwing, they were more like the one you would throw at a good friend while kidding a round. Logan gave himself some time to heal and then grabbed her hands and pulled her to him. He smoothed her hair and started to hush her and apologizing over and over again until she was somewhat calm. He then picked her up and swung her over his shoulders

"Logan you bastard, let me down." She said kicking and trying to wiggle out of his strong arms. But after a few moments of resistance she gave up his strong arms were too much for her. He grabbed her money and left before the onlookers got angry at the lack of fighting going on. She looked down and smiled she had the nicest view of his derrière. "I have the nicest view from back her you know" Carol/Mari said, carol had gained control for a second. Marie was yelling at her and laughing her head off at the same time.

"I think I have a better one." Logan said slapping her round butt causing her to straighten out. He gave a laugh until he started to float above the ground. "Marie what's happening?" He said still holding on to her waist.

"Oh don't be such a puppy Logan; it's just another upgrade of mine." He growled and she growled right back at him causing him to give her one of the funniest looks of surprise she had ever seen. She straightened out into the sitting position ten feet in the air causing Logan to sit on her lap or fall. He sat. "So your back." She said looking into his eyes.

Logan shifted uneasily "Since when could you growl and fly and FIGHT!" She gave out such a laugh that it almost caused him to fall. So she flew down and landed then both.

"Ah have always been able to growl, well since Ah absorbed you along with some of you cravings." She began giving him a smirk "But Ah only drink the beer and have the occasional cigar.As for the flying, and fight Ah also have invulnerability. That was all from Carol this woman mutant Ah absorbed on a mission a few years ago. Well that's it for the catching up nice seeing you and Ah hope you have a great life." Se said starting top walk off but both of her Logan's growled and the real one caught her arm she smirked

"I did not search for you for a year and have you just walk off again you are coming with me." He said

"Oh but Logan you should know it's what you do best." She said giving a glare to him complete with an icy smile.

"Marie I left to find answers about my past and I told you I would be back. And I did but you were not there so I nearly killed everyone getting answers to where you were but all they told me was that you had left so I left trying to find you and now I have and I am not letting you go ever again darlin'" Logan said pulling her closer. "And those things about Jean, hey yeah I had a crush on her, FOUR years ago but nothin' like I feel for my new girl."

Rogue looked away and let a tear fall "So why don't you just go to her, Ah'm not a kid anymore Ah can take of myself sugah." She said giving her best fake smile.

"Ok, if you say so." He said pulling her closer and giving her a fierce kiss. I Carol and Wolverine chanted in her She said....

A/n: Ok so there it is should I go on? Please I need reviews to tell me oh and I need a beta too cause I know I get all those hate reviews that all say I have the worst grammar imaginable..
