::the familiar sound of a motorcycle could be heard pulling up to the gates of the mansion. The gates opening as the vehicle pulled into the lot. He drove around to the garage and pulled in. He parked the bike next to Storm's vehicle and walked around out front. He stood infront of the door, his usual bag slung over his shoulder and a cigar sticking out the corner of his mouth. Taking the cigar out, he licked his lips and looked up::
Home sweet home
::he spoke in his usual tone as he walked up and turned the doorknob. He opened it and was overcome with a flood of different scents and smells. Things sure did change around here while he was gone. Thankfully Storm's sent still circled the area, so he was glad there was still one familiar face here::

“You just couldn’t stay away could you?”
*She asked once she saw Logan standing in the doorway. Storm welcomed him with a wide warm smiled and a firm embrace.*
“You’ve been gone for a while, haven’t you? Found anything interesting in your travels?”
*A group of young boys began pushing each other around playfully. Had they been outside Storm really wouldn’t have cared, but right now she did because they were in the foyer and there were breakables here. She crossed her arms and glared down at them and they instantly stopped rough housing and hurried off outside. Storm rolled her eyes and shook her head before looking back at Logan.*

Hey Storm.
::he smiled as she came up to him. He set his bag down and took out his cigar, hugging her back tightly as she welcomed him. He smiled and put the cigar back into his mouth. When he looked around he followed her gaze to the two boys. He had never seen them before, and when Storm glared at them, he couldn't help but smirk::
I see you've taken to being the head of the house well.
::when storm mentioned that it had been a while, he looked at her. She was right, he had been gone so long that most of the kids and teachers that had been her seemed to have left. He felt pretty down, hoping to see Rogue for at least a bit. When she asked him about anything he had found, he just shrugged::
The usual: earth, road, nothing.

*She rolled her eyes at him. Some things just wouldn't ever change. Storm quickly yanked the cigar out of Logan's hand and threw it into the nearest trash can.*
"You're welcome here any time, Logan, but if you're going to fill your lungs with a disgusting smog then you'll have to do it on the grounds. We still have rules here."
*She shrugged.*
"They know that I'm not afraid to punish them."
"I'm sorry you couldn't find anything. Maybe it's for the best though, you know?"

::he was a little surprised that she took the cigar from his mouth. He was about to say that the professor always let him smoke in the school, but he remembered that things changed and Storm was now the head of the house. When she mentioned that she wasn't afraid to punish the students, he couldn't help but give his usual laugh::
Something's never change do they. So where is everybody?

*She shook her head at him, but couldn’t stop the smile that pulled up the corners of her mouth.*
“What’s that supposed to mean, Logan? You’re probably just jealous because you know that you won’t be the one to do the punishing.”
*Storm sighed and shook her head.*
“Honestly…everyone is basically running around like chickens with their heads chopped off. We’ve recently discovered one of Xaviers dirty little secrets.”

You never know, I might have my own way of punishing them.
::he smirked as he thought about something. When she mentioned Xavier's dirty little secret, he raised his brows and looked to her. He didn't know Xavier had any secrets, other than pheonix that is. This got his interest more than anything else going on::
What secret?

*She glared at him with the thought of this, her eyes misting over into their milky white hue whilst the sunny weather outside quickly shifted into storming rainclouds.*
“I would really hate to see what happens to you when you’re struck by lightning. I really would.”
*Storm took Logan’s arm and led him down one of the corridors that sprouted out from the foyer, away from the student’s ears and eyes.*
“Xavier has a son that he didn’t tell anybody about.”
*She explained quickly.*

::he looked up at the sky as things started to get cloudy, then looked back at storm as he watched her eyes turn white. All he could do was form his half smile::
Storm, you and I both know what the weather was suppose to be like today.
::his eyes widened as she grabbed his arm and drug him down the hall. So much for him putting away his things first. When she pulled him into a small foyer and told him the news, it was the first time he was ever struck silent for more than a minute. When he could finally get the words out...::
Has there been a search for him? Do we even know if it really is a son or daughter?

*She shrugged at this and her eyes returned to their normal shade.*
“The weather man isn’t always right you know. However…I am always right. You lay a single finger on the studentt and you’ll be regreting it. I know a metal bender and she just loves to play.”
*She rolled her eyes at him.*
“Logan, I’ve already told you more than just about everyone else knows. If you’re planning on staying here for a while then sure, I can fill you in, but this stuff is classified and really important.”

::he narrowed his eyes at her. She had changed, and he didn't like how she was acting::
I think you need to chill out a little Storm, it's not like I intend to cause anybody trouble. I don't know how long I plan to stick around, but probly for a while. And if this has to do with Xavier then i want in on it, he's as much a part of my family as you are

*She sighed and looked down. Normally she wouldn’t be like this. She was simply under a lot of pressure and was stressed to the point of killing someone.*
“I’m sorry Logan. I’m just so….spread out right now. I’ve got about a million things on my plate and it’s a bit difficult to do all of them at once.”
*Storm bit her lip and nodded.*
“Alright. We know that it’s a son. I found the birth certificate and DNA testing charts a few days ago. Right now Faith and I are just trying to keep this as under-wraps as possible, but we’re looking everywhere to see if we can find him. We haven’t had any luck yet, however.”

::he smiled a bit when she said that she had a lot to do. It must be hard being the head of the school and having so much to worry about::
Come on, Storm, you should know me by now. Your problems are my problems to, so let's here it. What's the buzz?
::he thought about the information she was giving him on Xavier's son. Even though finding him seemed to be hard, there had to be a way to at least find markers::
What about his last known position? If Xavier did have a son, the mother would at least know where he is or where he was sent.

*She raised a brow at him, a way of her telling him that he really didn’t want to open that door.*
“Trust me, Logan, it’s a whole lot more than you would think. Running the school and finding Xavier’s kid have become my first priority, but there is much more under all of that. There’s the Brotherhood to deal with and we lost the only two people that can literally disappear, one of them to the Brotherhood. That’s just the icing on the cake.”
*Storm shook her head, wishing that it were truly that simple.*
“His mother’s dead. She died a few years ago. There aren’t any other living relatives and…well…after he got married it was like he…vanished.”

::he looked to Storm the way he would Xavier when he had too much to handle. He smiled and put an arm around her shoulders, giving her a small hug as he did::
Don't worry Storm. If anyone can handle all this it's you. Xavier wouldn't have made you head of the school if he didn't think so right?
