Logan stood out in the backyard of the Institute. The smoke from his cigar floated up an dissipated into the night sky. Despite it being the end of May, there was still a slight chill in the air. The wind ruffled his hair slightly. He sighed. Things had been overwhelming at the school lately. Most of the X-Men were rarely seen and others seemed to be planning on leaving. Jean was pregnant, so that meant eventually she wouldn't be able to help around the school as much, making things that much more difficult. Add that to the fact that Xavier had been missing for quite some time now and Logan had a real mess on his hands.

Mia was back. Few people knew it, but here she was, walking out the back door of the Mansion in clear view of Logan. She looked different. Her hair was much shorter now, swept back out of her face and spiked slightly upward. She had givin up her favorite logo tank top, and traded it in for a casual top of a light blue shade that laced up the sides and a pair of capris in a jean material. Instead of her usual boots, she was wearing a pair of white running shoes. She also looked quite a bit more alive than the last time she had been seen. Before, she had been moody and depressed. Now, she just looked aprehensive. She knew she had done wrong by just dissapearing like she did, but she had no other choice. She stopped just outside the door and waited for Logan to either notice her, or tell her to leave.

"...It been a long time," he said quietly, not turning to face her.

He didn't look up to face her. He was angry at her. She cursed herself for not expecting this.
"I know..." She let it hang for a moment before going on, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry doesn't really cut it," he still didn't face her. "You've missed a lot."

Mia had to bite her tongue to keep her own tone in check. She knew just as well as anyone else that if you snap at Logan, then he snaps back.
"I guessed as much." She sighed and crossed her arms over her chest, "If saying sorry doesn't cut it, what can I say?"

"What about, 'I missed you?'" Logan tried not to smirk. He had missed Mia. But, in truth he had gotten used to life without her. Having her back was just weird. Almost like she'd never left, and yet she had a lot of catching up to do.

Mia relaxed almost at once. He had been trying to guilt trip her for not contacting him. She couldn't help but smile and shake her head.
"Okay. I missed you. That better?" She asked as she cocked her head to the side.

"Slightly..." he finally turned to face her. "What have you been up to anyway?"

It was her turn to not look at him. She turned away but not before some dark emothion shadowed her face.
"Things. Personal things that I don't want to talk about." She said as her eyes roamed about, focusing on one thing for no more than a few seconds before moving on to the next.

Logan quirked his eyebrows as if to say 'fair enough, I understand.' "I'm not understating when I say you've missed a lot, you know."

Mia wandered over to one of the chairs and seated herself before looking back up at him.
"If I've missed so much, then I guess we should play catch-up." She said with a hint of a smile.

"Okay," Logan smirked and showed off the wedding ring on his finger as he sat down in a chair near her.

Her eyes widened as she reached out and grabbed his hand, "Oh my god!" She looked the ring over, and even went as far as to touch it to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
After a few minutes of slightly stunned silence, she looked back up at him, "Who?"

"Jean. Who did you think?" he chuckled.
