Logan watched her get up and kept his eyes one hers while she did. Her words made him look to the side for a moment and then move up on his own. He wasn't even dizzy. He just stood there like what had just happened was nothing at all. He then began to walk over to the man he had killed a moment ago and moved down a bit.
Checking his pockets he soon found a wallet and flipped it open. Logan ignored the pictures of his wife and kids, tossing them to the side. When he found the id he did look at it and at the male. They hadn't even bothered to take him along. Tom Williams... seemed he had another identity he could go by now. He took the id and then looked at the male before he got up.
"We have to get out of here." |

Jean crossed her arms over her chest as she watched Logan rifle through the dead man's clothing and grab his wallet. Her head turned and she glanced back to the school when he said they had to go.
"Go....where exactly? Something tells me these men will be back and with reinforcements. The one guy saw me use my power to try and help you."
Her eyes locked with his again as she waited for his answer, she realized that her heart was pounding in her chest like a caged bird struggling to get free. The result of the blood rushing through her body and to her brain caused her to suddenly become dizzy. Her hand shot out to catch herself on the wall she stood next to and her head bowed.

Logan didn't know. He wasn't familiar in the city. He didn't know anyone here beside Jean and he had been keeping to the side ever since he stepped off the plane. He looked back and then as Jean nearly fell he walked over and lay a hand on her shoulder. His eyes had a glimmer of worry.
"Are you ok?"
He asked, he guessed she wasn't used to death and all that. Questions would come, he was sure of that too. He then looked to the side and back. He hoped she would know a place to go. If she did he would be able to get them there.
"Don't you know any place?" |

Her head came up when his hand went to her shoulder and their eyes locked once more. She nodded when he asked if she was alright. "I'm fine, just not used to using my powers so quickly in situations like this."
She gestured to the body on the ground and as he asked his second question she found one place to go popping into her head. The manor, it was the safest place she knew of and the professor was there, perhaps he could help Logan. She gave a nod as she steadied herself and she glanced to the school once more.
"I know of a place, Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. We will be safe there, I live there along with others. Its not far from the school either."

As she stated she did know a place Logan slowly nodded. A school. He would see what it would turn out to be. He wasn't very good with all that school stuff. But right now it was the only option they had. So he motioned for her to lead the way.
"Show the way..."
His eyes trailed back for a moment hoping they wouldn't follow them or wouldn't come back. Right now he was jumpy and on full alert. Which could prove problems. Since when he would get stressed, scared or angry. Something took place inside of him.
Luckily he had so far managed to keep it down and under control. |

Jean would normally have been hesitant about leaving school but at this point she was late for English anyway and she wasn't about to leave Logan on his own, not with those men after him. So she led him out to the student parking lot to a red convertible she was borrowing from the manor and the two headed away from the school and into traffic.
"Care to tell me what's going on?" She asked as she glanced to him out of the corner of her eye. She meant of course with the men who had shot him. She knew about S.H.I.E.L.D but she hadn't expected them to come onto the grounds of a school hunting for mutants.

Logan got in and for now leaned back while he memorized the way they drove to get to the manor. He would want to find his way back fast enough, and it was an old habit he found hard to let go. The question came as expected and Logan looked to the side to Jean.
"It's complicated..."
He wasn't lying on that one. It all was very complicated. He himseld didn't even fully know why they where after him. ALl he knew was they had once stated he had to return to the lab and everything seemed to have exploded.
He looked to the side for now and didn't lock his eyes with Jean. |

Jean gave a nod when Logan spoke, okay so he either didn't want to tell her or he was in the dark like she was. Whatever the case she didn't push him, she wasn't about to anger him. The route she took to the manor was simple enough to remember as it was fairly direct. She paused outside a set of handsome wrought iron gates and they slowly swung open to allow them inside. The manor was a sprawling structure that took over several acres of land with more to spare. She wound up the white gravel drive and into the garage before she killed the engine and turned to look at him.
"As I said, we will be safe here, come on, I'll see if I can find you an empty room."
She got out of the car and pocketed the keys and headed for a door on the other side of the garage that led into the manor.

Logan looked around as they arrived and slowly got out of the car. He wasn't very sure. He looked around the garage and then slowly followed Jean. It didn't need any telepathic skills to tell he felt uncomfortable here.
"If you say so..."
Logan replied and followed her to the door which would lead to the manor. His eyes trailed back to the door which led outside. He would have preferred to stay there before he would head in. But he guessed he would always be able to bolt should it be needed. |

Jean glanced back over her shoulder to Logan as she sensed his unease. She paused as they stepped into the entry hall of the manor and she turned to face him.
"You said you wanted a place to stay that was safe and this is the safest I know of. Unless you meant for me and your going to go your own way?"
An eyebrow rose and she crossed her arms over her chest gazing up at him as they stood there. If he didn't want to stay then he shouldn't have accepted the ride, he could have gone his own way and much faster probably. Jean tried her best to keep from sounding annoyed but it wasn't easy. Part of her understood the man's feelings as the place was rather intimidating.

[b"It's not that I just..." [/b] He stopped for a moment, how was he going to explain this to her. The fact he never did well in new places, with new people. The whole story about what had happened to him before he got here. His trust... he didn't know where to begin or even how to start. "Just... lead the way."He stated and sighed slightly. He wasn't going to be able to tell her things like this. Some things had to be found out by themselves and certainly when it came to his past and his life he led now. He looked down the grand hallway and wondered who would have been abl to finance something like this.[/blockquote][/color] |

Jean ran a hand through her hair and let out a small sigh realizing she had touched a nerve. Green eyes locked with his for a moment before she was turning to lead him up one side of the staircase to the upper floors. The manor was elegantly and expensively furnished leading Logan to believe that the person who owned the place was more then wealthy. The painting on the wall looked like they could have been originals, everything in the place reeked of taste and well planned out selection to give the manor beauty and class. Jean led him down a couple of halls before she stopped in front of a door and opened it, the bedroom beyond was large and like the rest of the manor that he had already seen it was nicely furnished.
"You should be comfortable here, you have your own bathroom and the kitchen is on the ground floor if you get hungry. " She stepped back to allow him to enter and lingered in the doorway for a moment before turning to leave. "I'll let you get settled and get some rest....."

Logan followed down the hallways and looked around while he did. The mansion indeed looked like someone had spend quite a few bucks to make it the way it was. His eyes trailed down for a moment while they walked up the steps and down the hallway.
His eyes scanned the room and he walked in slowly. His eyes trailed back as Jean told him she would leave him be for now and get settled. He nodded and looked at the window. Something inside of him always longed for outside. The fresh air. As Jean turned to leave he opened the window and leaned on the still.
He would see if he would stick around or not. |
