LOGANA

By Ouchkinap, Maria Cline, Polka Dot, Admiral, The XO, if I have forgotten anyone I am so sorry, the names got cut off towards the end.

Jubilee ran in the med lab as the various X-Men waited in the waiting room.

"What happened?!" she exclaimed.

Scott replied in a calm tone, "We were attacked by Sabertooth and the Mauraders. We
were all hurt but Logan had suffered a great deal of damage in his battle with Sabertooth."

"How bad is he?" she asked.

"Well..." Scott said, "Logan's lower side got very badly injured."

Hank entered the waiting room and said, "The good news is that Logan will live."

"But..." Jubilee asked.

"Well, I had to do some drastic surgery to save his life." Hank said, "And when our friend
wakes up... I might suffer Logan's wrath."

"What do you mean?" Scott asked.

Hank cleared his throat and said, "Logan had permanently lost his... er thing. I had to do a
very drastic surgery and... well... it's a sex change operation."

"Do you mean?" Jubilee asked as her eyes widen as everyone else gasped.

"Yes. Logan is now Logana."

Maria Cline

"Hank what about his feeling factor? Is it possible for it to one day, grow back?"

"No Jean I don't think so, I mean I can't say for sure but well there isn't anything left to
heal. I'm sorry I would like to say more but I think that the anesthetic is wearing off and so I have a plane to catch..."

"Hank where are you going?"

"I don't know, I just don't want to be here when Logan wakes up and finds out what's
happened. Perhaps Muir Island, but please don't tell him where I've gone, underneath this
blue fur I am still a young man. I have a life to live."

"Honestly Hank I think you are overreacting, I'm sure Logan wouldn't actually kill you, he might repay you in kind..."

Scott was unable to finish his sentence as a blue streak flew past him and out the mansion.

"Wow, I didn't know the fuzzball could move so fast." Jubilee said, trying to infuse some
levity into the grim situation.

"Uh guys, Logan is beginning to wake up, somebody has to go in there and break the
news to him."

All the heads in the room turned towards Jubilee. "Me? Why me?"

"Well, he would never hurt you, Jubilee. Besides, he would probably want to hear
something like this from someone who's close to him." Scott replied. Jubilee thought that
there were the slight twinges of a smile around Scott's lips.

"Yeah, Jubilee. You know you should probably get in there while he's still groggy." Bobby gave her a small encouraging smile.

"Don't worry Jubilee we'll be right outside if you need us." Storm said inching slightly
towards the door.

"Okay, okay I'm going." Jubilee walked into the medlab. Logan looked terrible, he was
very quiet and she wasn't sure if he was awake, but then she noticed that his eyes were
open slightly and he was staring at her.

“Hey kid. There something ya wanna tell me?” Wolverine asked. His voice was horse and barely above a whisper. Still she could make out what he was saying.

“Am I that obvious, Wolvie?”

“Fraid so! What’s the damage?”

"Well it’s um...See you were really hurt, and Hank sort of had to do something. Hank
didn’t want to! He had to, you know, do stuff cause he couldn’t save it, and you can always look at this as a new way of experiencing life. Remember ya always told me to be open to the ever changing possibilities. That I should embrace each problem as a new teaching experience. I’m sure that you’ll adjust to the change in no time and it’s not like it’s...”  Jubilee took in a deep breath.

“What exactly did blue boy do to me?”

“Um, I just told you.”

“No you didn’t! Ya rambled on about possibilities and changes. Now what did he do.”

“Well let me put it this way. You’ll never have to stand up to go to the bathroom again.”

Jubilee glanced up at an obviously confused Wolverine. Slowly though, what she had said sunk in. His look of bewilderment gave way to an expression of horror as Logan lifted the covers and peered underneath.

ouchkinap

The X-Men were waiting outside in the waiting room as several of them were listening in
on the door.

Bobby who was the lowest asked, "So, did anything happen yet?"

"I can't hear anything." Warren said from higher up.

"We shouldn't be doing this." Scott said as he stood to the side watching Jean trying to see what was going on inside.

"What is going on here?" Sean Cassidy asked as he ran in, "I just got run over by Hank
like he was runnin' for his life. Where's Jubilee and Logan? I heard that he got wounded
badly."

"Oh yeah." Scott said, "Jubilee is in the med lab telling Logan about what Hank did to
him. Hank had to do some *ahem* surgery."

Sean noticed that Scott's face was turning red as everyone else also was blushing.
"What sort of surgery?" Sean asked, as he tried to think up a good reason why Hank would fear for his life from the man he just saved. "What's a matter with Logan? Has he gotten savage again?"

There was an enormous yell that sounded like a roar and a scream.
"HHHAAANNNKKKK!!!"

"Goddess." Ororo muttered as Jubilee ran out of the room and closed the door behind her.

"It's okay, Wolvie! Just stay in there!" she yelled out as she, Rogue, Warren and Bobby
braced the door.

"Are you okay, Jubes?" Remy asked as he charged up some cards just in case.

"I'm fine but Wolvie isn't. As soon as he heard he just flipped, ah she just flipped."

"What?!" Sean asked as he heard more snarls.

"I hope Hank's far away. I don't want to be in his shoes." Bobby said.

"Banshee." Jubilee said, "Look, it's kinda weird but Hank gave Wolvie a sex change
operation."

Sean looked at the weakening door and said, "Oouch."

Maria Cline

Wolverine tore through the door and walked into the middle of the room. His claws were
extended and saliva was dripping from his mouth. He was bandaged heavily, but even so
the X-men in the room couldn't help taking a glance down south. He still had the sheet
wrapped around him.

"Where's Hank?" He said in a deep growl.

"He's gone, Wolvie. You should get back in bed and get some rest, you need to heal."
Jubilee said as she got up gingerly. Bobby had broken her fall, he was still unconscious.

Logan sniffed the air and followed Hank's scent out of the room. "He can't hide from me."

Jubilee ran to intercept him. "Wolvie, stop, just go back to the medlab and calm down.
You don't want to do anything you'll regret."

"Darlin', I don't want to hurt you but you don't want to get in my way right now."
Wolverine said to her in a voice that sent chills down her spine.

Polka Dot

"Now now." Remy said as he walked up to Logan. Remy smiled a killer smile as he calmly said, "You don't wanna hurt de furball do ya?"

"If you wake up and you lost it, you would be angry too." Logan growled.

"Just go back like a good mutant." Remy said avoiding the use of any boy or girl words. He
touched Logan's shoulder as Logan looked at Remy oddly.

"What are you doing to me?" he demanded as he shook his head.

"What I do best." Remy replied as he took Logan's hand.

"This cannot be happening." Jubilee moaned as Logan looked around almost confused.
Phoenix reached out into Logan's mind and telepathically shut him down. Logan slumped down on the floor.

"Thanks." Jubilee and Remy said.

"Hank's one of my best friends." Jean said, "Besides, watching Remy using his charm is
sickening."

"Okay, get him back in the bed." Scott said as he tried to not to peek at Logan's lower half and ask Remy about what he did. "Give him lots of sedatives." He added as he looked at the door. "And how's Bobby?"

"He's fine." Warren said as he picked up the dazed Iceman.

Rogue nodded and picked up Logan. She took him into the room.

At that moment, Emma Frost and the rest of Generation X ran in to see the damaged
waiting room. "What just happened?" she asked, as Banshee and the rest of the
X-Men blushed. "It looks like a wild animal just went through here."

"Nope, it's Logana." Gambit said as he dodged several colorful paffs.

Maria Cline

In the dark medlab, two shadow figures suddenly appeared out of thin air.
"Poor Wolverine" a female voice said out loud in a sad tone.

"Yes, it's a fate no man should have to face." A deep male voice came from the other
figure.

"Do you think we can help?" the female voice continued.

"We have to, his blood line must continue." The male figure walked up to Logan.

"It will be hard, his biochemistry is different, it would have to be a complete
reconstruction, it could have random results." The female added concerned.

"We have to try, there is no choice." The male figured stepped close to the female.

"It is decided." They joined hands and a light started to glow.

"We have decided." Both figures said in a unified voice.

They let their hands come down on Logan's face and his entire body started to shiver and a mystical glow came over him.

They both stepped back. "All we can do is hope." The male figure said and disappeared.

"Goodbye grandfather, we will check in on you in some years from now." She leaned
down and kissed Logan's forehead.
---
Next morning
---
Logan woke up feeling rested, strong and most of all a little less angry, he took a deep
breath.

He stopped for a moment something was not right, but dismissed it and stood up out of
bed.

It was still a little fuzzy.

"Damn they must have used one hell of a drug on me." It was dark but he had no problem
walking up to find the light.

He felt weird... lighter and it smelled all wrong. "When I find Hank I will..." he switched the light on.

---
In the kitchen
---

"Well what are we going to do, I feel sorry for him." Jubilee bit down on a sandwich.

"I don't think there is a lot we can do, it's something he will have to come to terms with on his own." Jean said and looked over at Cyclops who didn't exactly look that hungry.

Gambit was about to say something when...

"AAAARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" The growl/scream was not hard to place, It was Logan from the medlab.

Remy made a face. "Dis is not good!"

They heard as someone made their was through the door to medlab with a slashing sound of metal on metal.

The door was kicked open... Every one looked at who was standing there.
"Ok! Who ever did this has a new hole waiting to get ripped open in them!" Logan
screamed looking over the people in the small room.

Jubilee dropped the sandwich, Jean came to full attention knocking Remy's stool over,
Warren just stared and Scott fainted.

"Wolvie? Is that... you?" Jubilee said after a second.

Logan was standing in the doorframe, almost completely naked, but instead of the hairy
short gruff looking man, he was now a Muscular amazon woman, he was still short and the spiky hairy was still his standard. Otherwise, he was now a completely female version of himself.

"Talk quick or ah will gut yer all here and now."

Admiral

"Wolvie, what happened, you're a...girl?"

"I think he or she or whatever... already knows that p'tit. The real question is how our
friend end up like that."

"Where's Hank? Did he do this to me? You'd better start talking." Logan(a) was getting
more upset with each passing moment.

"We don't know where Hank is Wolverine. He never mentioned that this was going to
happen, so I assume he didn't know. I don't know anyone capable of making such, such
ahh, wholesale changes. Perhaps Sinister, maybe Masque, although he is dead." Jean was
babbling, in a very un-Jean way.

"You saying Sinister did this?" Logan(a) perked up at the thought of someone whom he
could exact his revenge on.

"Well no I mean, he's the only one I can think of offhand, but I guess that he is more of the cloning type and less of the uhm," Jean stopped quickly to clear her throat "modifying
type. Spiral comes to mind, she did run a bodyshop for a while. Of course the mansion
didn't pick up any intruders last night..."

Jubilee couldn't believe it someone was talking more than her. "Hey Jean, could his, ah
her, ah.. Could Logan's , I mean Logana's, I MEAN Wolverine's" Jubilee continued after
finally finding a name that stopped Logan(a) from shooting deadly glares at her, "healing
factor, have, let's say, overcompensated for his earlier loss?"

"I don't think it works that way Jubilee. Wolverine why don't you let me contact Dr. Reyes and maybe she can figure out what happened?"

"No way Red, someone's gonna pay for this." Logan(a) was still itching to deliver a little
pay back.

Scott had regained consciousness and decided enough was enough it was time to gain
control of the situation. "Now what Jean says makes good sense. I think you should rest
and well try to umm, well get used to your new body." Scott immediately regretted saying that as Logan(a) let out a growl and launched herself at him.

Polka Dot

Scott shot an urgent optic blast at Logan(a) blasting her away. "Wolverine! Calm down!"
he ordered as Jean telekinetically held Logan(a) up in the air.

"What's going on... here?" Rogue asked as she flew in. "We heard all this ruckus and
who's she?"

"Don't say a word." Logan(a) growled as he struggled.

"Logan?" Rogue asked wide-eyed.

Bobby, Emma, as well as everyone else in the mansion ran in to the kitchen to see a
muscular, screaming, virtually naked woman being held up telekinetically by Phoenix.

"Whoa!" Angelo and several of the other men said as they stared at her.

"Emma! I need your help in knocking out Wolverine." Jean said as she struggled to keep
Logan from getting away.

"WOLVERINE?!?" Everyone exclaimed.

Emma stumbled back for a second in a state of shock and fired a psi bolt at him.
Logan(a) stopped struggling.

"Okay." Scott saidattempting to talk in a calm manner, "Get Logan or Logana back into
the med lab. Keep her or him knocked out. Jean, get Cecilia, her force field should
protect her. Get Moria too."

"One problem, Cyke." Jubilee said, "Wolvie just tore up both med lab rooms."

Maria Cline

"Somebody get him down to the detention area. The Omega class stasis fields should hold him, her...whatever until Moira and Cecilia make it here."

They rushed Wolverine down to the detention level quickly. No sooner had they placed
him in the field when he/she woke up and begin attacking it.

"Storm! Call Forge we're gonna need to get the medlabs reinforced as well as this stasis
field."

The XO

“I really don’t think summoning Forge is necessary. I’m sure the Professor can use his
mental powers to tame Logan(a). Besides I truly doubt Forge will be able to make it here
before err she gets out.” Storm said.

“Logan(a) destroying things isn’t going to do you any good. Now calm down, and maybe
we’ll be able to help you.”

“Alright, Jean, I’m pullin in the claws, but on one condition I want to see Hank. He’s got
some explaining ta do!”

“Well see we don’t know where...” Bobby mumbled.

Logan(an) popped out her/his claws and snarled, “Look one way or the other I’ll get out
of here, and when I do there’s gonna be a lot of X-types with these stuck in them. Now
take me to Blue Boy!”

Within minutes Logan(a) and the rest of the X-Men where on the Blackbird soaring
towards Muir Island. Logan(a) was still furious. Storm had mentioned to Logan(a) that
music was relaxing, and that perhaps he/she should listen to some. Logan(a) put on her/his headphones and began listening.

::Pretty woman walking down the street. Pretty woman the kind I’d like to meet::
Logan(a) snarled and turned the station.

::I gave you women! Women! Lot’s of pretty women! Yeah! Yeah! We can’t live with out
them!::

CLICK!!

::Then along comes a woman. There’s a change in:: Logan(a) slammed her/his claws into the radio slicing it in half.

The lyrics are from real songs. Roy Orbison sings ‘Oh, Pretty Woman’ The group
Def Leppard sings ‘Women’ and ‘Along comes a woman’ is from the group Chicago.

ouchkinap

"There goes another one." Warren said as he (like everyone else) was sitting as far away
from Logana as possible.

"I never saw Wolvie act so vicious." Jubilee said as she put on headphones herself.

::Man, I'm a woman.::

Jubilee giggled as she danced in her seat, "I guess the songs are a little inappropriate."
Scott and Storm were at the cockpit. Scott was on the radio as Storm flew the plane.
"Who are you contacting?"

"Alpha Flight. They are close to Logan or Logana. I'm sure that he or she wouldn't hurt
them. Besides, maybe Shaman could help out."

"You mean that Logan's condition could be magical?"

"Maybe." Scott replied, "It's not every day that a man would wake up one day to realize
that he's a she."

*****

Logan(a) growled as she glared at the broken radio. Jean asked, "You didn't like the
songs?"

"It's playing the type of songs that I don't want to hear right now." (S)he said as lay back.

"Why do I have to wear this?" (S)he asked as Logan(a) tugged at his/her bra strap.

"Because, we don't want you going to Muir Island naked." Jean replied, "At least you can
still wear your old clothes."

While, Logan(a)'s body had changed, Wolverine was still the same height. The clothes
were loose on her/him now. But he/she didn't really care.

*****

Hank was exercising to work out the nervousness that he had acquired. Moria entered the
gym and asked, "Henry? Scott had just called."

"Is it about my latest patient?"

"Aye. He er she forced everyone to tell ye were yuir at." Moira said, "Is there anything ye
want?"

"Yes. A big gun and after all this, perhaps a closed casket funeral will be most
appropriate."

Maria Cline

As soon as the Blackbird set down, Logana headed out after Hank. Jubilee ran after her to
keep the bloodshed to a minimum.

Hank was in the medlab, he had decided he wanted to spend his last hours working on a
cure for the Legacy virus. When Logana burst through the door, Hank looked up and his
jaw dropped to the floor. He was expecting to be torn to pieces. To be impaled. To be
castrated. He wasn't expecting THIS.

No one had told him of Logan's transformation. He was shocked to see the most beautiful
woman he had ever seen in his life standing before him, snarling and cursing at him. He
didn't even listen to the words, he was on cloud nine. She was strong and feral yet her eyes were the most intense blue, and her spiky black hair framed a heart shaped face with high cheekbones. She was also petite. Hank noticed that she had six claws protruding from the backs of her hands. /Curious,/ he thought.

Logana stopped her tirade as she saw the way Hank was looking at her. She could smell
Hank's desire for her. It made her even more furious. She prepared to launch herself at
Hank, but Jubilee managed to place herself between Logana and her target.

"Jubilee, who's your friend?" asked Hank with a big, stupid grin.

"Hank, that's Logan." replied Jubilee.

Polka Dot

"L.. Logan?" Hank said and if he were not covered in fur they would have seen him turn
ghost white.

"Yeah fur ball, now change me back before I make a carpet out of you." Logana
attempted to push Jubilee out of the way, but she stood her ground.

"But, I... how, you... a woman... when..." Hank tried his best to find a word for the
situation and that was not easy.

Moira came running in to the room. "It's true! It’s impossible but o my... yer really a
woman!"

Logan was about to explode. "THAT I KNOW! What I wanna know is how Hank intends
to undo this monstrosity of his."

Moira looked at Hank and lifted an eyebrow.

"Don't look at me dear woman... ehh what ever, I am as mystified by this sudden...
change, I can assure you that if I was to blame for this Logan, I would still be running."

"Maybe you should start, I don't believe in coincidence, and this thing started after you cut of my..." Jubilee placed her hand over Logana's mouth.

"Wolvie, please take it easy, we came to find out *how* this happened, not to shred the
old blue."

Moira, looked curiously at Logana. "Eh, how... how... I mean exactly how much is
different... is it a... complete... change..." Logana gave her the evil eye."Or is it only... superficial."

Logana retracted her claws. "How the hell should I know."

"Well I guess we should start with an... Eh simple x-ray to see how much has been
changed."

---
Several hours later.
---

"Well how bad is it?" Jubilee asked.

"It's fascinating, he I mean she is a woman down to the last detail, if I had not known that
48 hour ago she had been a male, I would never be able to tell."

Hank said looking over at Logana who was being examined by Moira.
"It’s like he has always been a woman, it's crazy I can't make sense out of it." Hank followed up.

"But is it genetic manipulation, a clone or what, I mean there has to be something, magic
or something." Jean asked trying to push something out of Hank.

"I don't know, as I say it's like he has always been like this, even the adamantium is
bonded, as it should be if he had been a female at the time."

"I don't know any one that could have done that, I mean the only way I can think of is,
first someone goes in the x mansion takes Logan to a facility that has the most advanced
genetic equipment I have ever heard of, then they removed his adamantium and then they
turned him in to a woman and in the process they healed all of his old injuries, then rebounded the adamantium to his bones then they took him back to the X-mansion and left him there and all this in one night, without any one noticing it."

They all shook their heads.

Admiral

"Look I don't care who did it or how. Just fix it." Logana was beginning to get very
frustrated.

"But well I don't know how to fix it." Hank said, he wasn't as scared with Jean around, he
figured she'd give him a fighting chance. "I am sorry my friend, I think you are just going
to have to accept that you are now a woman."

"Are you out of your effing mind? I can't just accept that. I ain't no woman and I don't
want to be one. Find me a surgeon or someone who can put me back the way I am!"

"But Wolverine, it isn't just a matter or a missing appendage, the changes go to your very
bones." Hank tried to speak calmly but he was getting very nervous.

"I don't care, if someone made the changes then there's gotta be a way to undo them!"
Logana was incredibly upset right now. If Jubilee was not sitting just a few feet from her
then the conversation would've been a lot more colorful, in every way.

"Do you think it's magic Hank? If so perhaps I can have Amanda take a look at 'im."
Moira chimed in.

"That is an excellent idea, Moira. I think that magic could very well be the answer to this
mystery." Hank relaxed as he saw Logana relax.

"I'll give her a call then." Moira left the room to call Amanda. Hank decided to depart as
well, he didn't think there was anymore he could do here.

"Well ladies I will leave you until the lovely Ms. Sefton arrives." Hank said with a slight
bow and a mischievous grin. His retreating form was followed by a vicous snarl.

"Well I'm glad everyone's finding this so darn funny." Logana said rather sarcastically.

"Oh come on Wolvie, once they figure out how to fix you, you'll laugh about this too."

"I seriously doubt that Darlin'."

"You know Wolverine there are worse things than being a woman. If Amanda is unable to help, you may have to get used to being one of the gals."

"Don't think I'll ever be able to do that Red. I ain't never had much of a feminine side." As Logana replied to Jean, she noticed that for the first time since she had ever met the
redhead, she had no desire to get closer to her. She didn't want to run her hands through
her hair or be alone with her. She had no physical reaction to her. /Oh God./ thought
Logana, /What if these changes are more than skin deep?/

Polka Dot

Logan looked over at Gambit to test his theory.

"No bloody way!" Logana screamed out and backed away as she realized that she found
Gambit incredibly attractive...

"No way in bloody hell! Someone wake me out of this crazy nightmare."

"Wolvie... What is wrong now, can't you relax for like 10 sec, eh?" Jubilee said and
crossed her arms.

"Red, get in to my head and clean out the thoughts I have, right now!"

"Logan what is wrong... oh my..." Jean gasped and blushed as she realized what Logana
was thinking about.

"Looks like the changes was not only physical..." Jean said and looked over at the puzzled Gambit, tempted for a moment to share what she was seeing.

*Well Logan, looks like you are in love.* Jean said telepathically to Logana.

Admiral

"What's a matter, Wolvie?" Jubilee asked as Logana was looking around. "Besides the
female thing I mean."

"Nothing much." Logana muttered as Scott entered the room. Logana stared at him. Her
heart started to pitter and patter as Scott went up to her with hesitance.

"Hank told me about the exam. How are you feeling?" Scott asked as he put his hand on
Logana's shoulder.

"Fine." Logana said, "Could you get me a beer, Cyke? I really need a drink. No wait. I
need to get to that bar Kitty told me about. Can you take me there?"

Scott smirked and asked, "Did you just ask me out on a date? I have to warn you that I'm
a happily married man to a wonderful telepath who's next to you."

Logana looked at Jean who was giggling. She shook her head and said, "I didn't say that. I just need a ride and my wallet is back in the States."

Deep down, she was starting to feel worried. She looked at Scott's chest and realized
how buffed Scott had gotten over the years. /Too bad he's a married man./ she thought.

Maria Cline

Logana sat in the bar cursing her mutant healing factor. She had already downed about 5
beers and was still completely sober.

The men in the bar were watching her. When she first entered, the looks she shot them let
them know that she wasn't interested, but now that she had a few beers in her some
decided to take a chance.

A tall, rather buff guy who looked like he was a welder by trade, muscular yet dirty,
sauntered up to Logana. He sat down on the barstool next to her.

"I ain't seen you 'ere before luv, where you from?" He said to Logana, exhaling alcohol
breath in her face.

"Go away." she replied. /I should've known this would happen,/ she thought to herself.
/Aw well I wouldn't mind a good bar brawl right about now./

"Aw don't be that way luv, you sound like you're from the colonies. Why don't you let me
welcome you to my country?" The man slurred.

"That's it!" Logana turned to him and planted a left cross right on the chin, she waited for
him to get up so they could take it outside, but didn't get the chance.

"Hey is this bloke botherin' you luv? I'll take care o' 'im." Logana was pushed out of the
way by a second equally dirty buff man who began to pound of the now recovered first
man.

/Oh lord, they're fighting over me,/ thought Logana. She was both irritated because she
wanted to fight the guy herself, but also flattered at all the attention she was getting. The
second man was also rather cute, she thought, then caught herself. If she could beat
herself up right about now she would. Instead she turned to the second guy and began
pounding on him.

"Hey wha' th''ell are ya doin'? I'm tryin' to protect ya luv." Even though Logana was
whaling on him pretty hard, the guy refused to fight back, he instead threw his hands over
his head an backed away.

"Come on you and me bub, let's take this outside." Logana said trying to coax the man
into a fight.

"No way I don't hit women!"

"Well you're gonna get your ass kicked then!" Logana was just about the jump the guy
when she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"I don't think so mon ami. It's about time you come home non?"

"Gambit, what are you doing here?"

"I thought perhaps you lookin' for trouble, so I figure I make sure you don find it."

"Well you're too late, get out of here. I'm gonna finish what I started."

"But mon ami, you are taking your frustrations out on dese people who don't deserve it.
That's not right. You want ta fight? Fine. Wen we get back to Moira's, you and I we
tango, c'est bien?"

"Yeah alright Cajun, but I'm warning you. When we're done you're gonna be hurtin' for
days." Logana followed Gambit out of the bar, thinking what a shame it was that he
covered up that cute butt of his with that silly trenchcoat all the time.

Inside the bar, the occupants couldn't help but feel envious of the American gentleman
who had just left. He may indeed be hurtin' for days after he and his lady friend 'tangoed',
but they all figured it would be a good kinda hurting.

"Come on is that the best ye can do, Gumbo?" Logana smiled down at Gambit who was
lying on his back on the floor, holding his head.

"You are fast, a lot faster then usual." Gambit reached out his hand. "Well if you are done
kicking my sorry butt, maybe you could help me up. Non?"

Logan grabbed his hand and pulled him off the floor. "Gumbo next time you fight me, try
to concentrate on the fight and not on my body..."

Gambit gave Logana an evil grin. "Hard ta miss, whoever did this sure knew how a woman should look, that body would make any man fall to his knees."

Logana frowned, but could not help to feel glad that Gambit found her attractive, but
decided to make him think otherwise.

"Careful there Gumbo, one wrong move and I will gut ya," but deep down a her mind was telling her something different, and if it had been 48 hours ago that thought would have made her sick.

But now it was more of a desire, a warm fuzzy feeling.

Now Logana heard several yelling voices from the up ahead... one of them was Kitty’s, she was agitated, desperate to know what was wrong with Wolverine.

Logana came in to the room. "Don't worry Kitty, I’m fine more or less..." Kitty looked at
her for a moment.

"And just who the hell are you supposed to be?" Kitty frowned, irritated that no one would tell her what was wrong with Logan.

"It's me, Logan, who else would I be?" Logana realizing that her voice was starting to
change and she had also noted that her movement was more feminine.

"Logan... what... hehe, it can't be can it." Kitty started to laugh... almost falling over. "O
my god, Logan is a Woman, oh god, help the men of this world..."

Admiral

"Hey! I'm not that bad looking!" Logana said as she pouted. She shook of the pout when
she realized what she's doing. "I'm still the best at what I do."

"Oh yeah." Kitty said as she tried to regain her composure.

"She's still good at fighting." Gambit pointed out.

"You were distracted." Logana said, "I still need to burn off some more anger. Cyke?"

Scott blinked and Jean grabbed his arm. "He's married."

"I mean to fight. I know Cyke's not the type to get distracted by my looks."

Maria Cline

Jean and Cyke were obviously having some sort of telepathic discussion, when they were
done, Jean turned to Logana and asked, "Well if you really want to fight, why don't you
fight me?"

"Jean, I couldn't!"

"Why not Wolverine, don't think that I can give you a good enough work out?" Jean
asked with one eyebrow raised and her mouth quirked up slightly.

"You know it ain't that, I just wouldn't want to hurt you Red." Logana didn't have the
desires towards Jean that she had just a couple days ago, but she still didn't want anyone,
including her, to hurt Jean.

"Oh don't worry about that Wolverine, I don't think that you will be able to hurt me."

Jean and Logana headed towards the grounds to keep the fighting outside, meanwhile
Scott, Gambit and Jubilee took up seats around the complex to get a good view, everyone
had a feeling this was gonna be a fight that no one wanted to miss it.

"So why did Jean wanna go against our sexually confused friend, instead a you, mon ami?"

"Well Jean felt that Wolverine might be distracted by my looks and get hurt." Scott replied matter of factly, but there was a slight smile creasing his otherwise serious face.

"Aren't you worried about her?" Gambit asked.

"Who Jean or Logana?"

"Your wife."

"No, she can take care of herself, she beat Sabertooth if you recall, I think Logana is in for an unpleasant surprise."

"Yo, do you two mind, some of us are trying to pay attention to the show." Jubilee cut in
as Logana had begun to charge at Jean only to be deflected by a psishield.

Jean kept herself grounded, but had no intention of letting Logana near her. She blasted
her away with a psiblast and erected a shield in front of the diminutive lady. Logana's
claws couldn't penetrate the shield, but they were forcing Jean back up against the
complex's outer wall. Jean fired away with another round of psibolts and Logana fell to
the ground clutching her head.

”Good to see ye ain't lost your edge Red, ain't easy to fight some one like you... and you
sure ain't giving a girl a easy time." Logana said trying to keep Jean off balance, it wasn’t
working.

She was pushed away by a telekinetic blast.

"Damn, Look at her move, she is way more agile then *He* used to be... a lot faster to."
Cyclops said obviously taken in by the fight and Logana's incredible moves.

Jubilee frowned. "Why is Wolvie not getting any where."

"A bet you Logan'a can take her out." Gambit said grinning widely to Scott.

"I'll top that..." Scott said sure that Logana would never get close to Jean...

"Winner decides payment?" Gambit asked equally sure...

"Winner takes it all." Scott said back grinning big.

"I won't bet, but I’m still counting on Wolvie." Jubilee said and pushed her shades down
and smiled.

Logana realized that close fighting on open ground was impossible, Jean had too much
space to play on...

Jean was grinning, she liked to see Logana unable to get close to her, but suddenly Logana stopped attacking and rested against a large stone.

"So Red, I’ll admit you can defend yourself on yer own, on open ground... but can you
hunt?" Logana said doing a back flip over the stone and was running the second she
touched the ground and a second later she was inside the woods.

Jean was taken by surprise, did she run? *Logan* would never run... But in a way this was not Logan it was Logana, and she was different from the old Logan obviously in more then one way.

Logana was confused, but it all made sense right now, every thing... it was like she was
thinking differently then before and the raging animal was not as close to the surface as it
used to be, it was still there but much easier to control.

She jumped up, grabbed hold of a tree branch and swung up the tree quickly heading up to the top of it.

Scott rubbed his head... "Did Wolverine just... run away? I have never seen him run away
like that before."

"Oh, she didn't run, she only changed battle fields." Gambit said and looked at Jean entering the edge of the Forest...

Jubilee was jumping up and down and grabbed Gambit by the arm. "We have to see this,
we have to find a better place to look from..." she started to drag Gambit along.
"Never thought I would see you run Logan, going soft on me..." Jean said and could feel
Logana was near.

"Ah ain’t running, head's up!" Logana screamed and jumped out of the tree heading like a
spear down at Jean only to be pushed away by a telekinetic blast.

Logana was thrown away maybe ten meters, but to Jean’s surprise she was running the
second she hit the ground, quickly disappearing behind some trees.

The hunt continued like that until Jean bagan to perspire. Hunt, wait, leap, repel, chase.
She was starting to feel a new kind of respect for Wolverine. He uhem She was relying
more on that vaunted cunning than brute force and was quickly wearing her down.

Eventually, the attacks ceased but she remained wary, scanning with her eyes and powers
but almost an hour passed and nothing. Finally deciding to head back, win or lose she was getting very hungry and terribly parched. As she cleared the trees she noticed the others lounging around including the shapeshifter Meggan and sorcerous Amanda Shefton. Scott started to stand as she drew close and she walked towards him never noticing the shifting of the others. She never knew what hit her as suddenly she was sprawled out on the grass at Scott's feet.

Logana was never very patience but she was one of the best hunters alive so she knew
how to bait her prey. Jean's TK blasts were getting a bit weaker and her healing factor had no problem keeping up. But when Logana noticed Jean wasn't tracking her telepathically a plan formed. As soon as Jean had cleared the trees into their first battle field and keeping a clear mind she tackled the telepath with a dead charge to fast for the others to give her warning. Sitting back on her heals with a still familiar smirk Logana watched as Scott helped Jean up. "Tag Red."

Beast approached them followed by Moira. "If you two *snicker* ladies are finished?"
That quickly elicited a seemingly half-hearted growl. "Now that we have not one but two
wielders of the arcane arts maybe we can try to determine the nature of our Canadian
compatriots transmogrification. This way please."

"Honestly Logan, it isn't that bad, I mean I got used to it." Walter Lankowski said as he
accompanied Logana to the medlab. "I admit at first it was really odd, and I still had a
major thing for Aurora, but as time went on, I found that I was no longer attracted to her
and I got more and more comfortable in my new body and I really didn't mind being a
woman."

"So if you hadn't been changed back into a guy, you'd be fine with that?"

"Well I didn't say that, I mean I was still attracted to other women, I just sorta realized
how shallow Aurora was."

Logana just snorted in reply. She was a woman, Walter had been a man trapped in a
woman's body, so it wasn't the same. Not really. Logana's eyes drifted over Walter's torso. He was a good looking guy. She briefly wondered if he was seeing anybody right now.

"Well thanks for the pep talk Walter, but we're here so I'll see you later."

"Oh geez Wolverine, I was hoping you would let me stay, I mean scientifically this is
fascinating."

Logana had forgotten that Walter was a doctor, he shouldn't be embarrassed but she didn't
feel comfortable with him being there, what if Shaman and Amanda needed to do a
thorough exam? /Okay now you're being stupid./ Logana told herself. /You're gonna be
a guy again so it doesn't matter, hell I might as well pose for Playboy because no one's
seeing this bod again, once I'm back to being me./

"Hey, if you want to stay that's fine with me, I just figured it would be boring for you."

"Oh not at all, thanks Logan."

"Okay, I win de bet." Gambit said smuggly as he, Scott and the other X-Men were waiting outside for Logana to be done with the tests.

"What do I owe you?" Scott asked as he pulled out a wallet.

"Sorry, Scott." Jean said as she rubbed her bruise.

"That's okay."

"No money." Gambit said as he put his hand up. "Just that you have to do something for
me."

Scott blinked as he put his wallet back in his pocket. "I won't do anything illegal or
unethical."

"I know you won't. I mean, somet'ing interesting. Don't worry, Jeannie won't mind."

"Mind what?" Scott asked as he looked at his wife.

Jean snickered as she said, "It won't be that bad."

"Simple, you go out with Logana out to dinner tonight." Gambit said as he watched
Scott's face get filled with shock.

Maria Cline

"That's absurd. Why on earth would I take Logana out. First off, I'm a married man, and
secondly we have never gotten along and I doubt that Logan's change into Logana is
going to change that."

"Actually mon ami, Jean was the cause of frict'n between you and Logan, but now Logana is no longer interested in Jean, you two may be able to become friends."

"I seriously doubt it, Logana and I are fundamentally different, she or he has never taken
me seriously as a leader. I don't think this is a good idea."

"It don't matter mon ami, you lost the bet you must ask her out tonight."

"What makes you think Logana would want to go out with Scott anyway?"

"Jubilee, you can't still have a crush on Logan, now can you?" Gambit asked as he noted
the tone of jealously in Jubilee's voice.

"A. I never had a crush on Logan and B., I am not into girls. I just happen to think Scott is right, dude or dudette, Wolvie and Scott are never gonna get along."

"Well if Logana refuses to go, then you still fulfilled your part of the bet. So you ask her
mon ami?"

"No I will ask her."

"Jean?"

"If you ask her, she will say no, but if I ask her, she will say yes."

"You're not gonna use your...?"

"No!, of course not. I just think that if Logana knows that I, as your wife, and completely
fine with this, then she will feel more comfortable about going."

“I don't think it matters who asks, no way is Logana gonna fall for this."

"Care to bet on that mon pet't."

"I don't bet Gumbo, but if I did I'd bet that Logana would fill you with holes if she knew
what you were up to."

"What I am up to? But I ain't up to nothing." Gambit could pull off many looks, but
innocence was not one of them.

"Oh you're up to something. You hurt my Wolvie and you're gonna be real sorry Gumbo."

Polka Dot

"Dinner? With Scott?" Logana asked Jean puzzled, and put down the beer.

"Yes, I think it would be a great idea for you and Scott to try and get to know each
other." Jean could have smacked her head, that sounded stupid.

"Red, what's up here, first: you know I'm not to fond of Scott, second: I might realize that
I’m a woman and all that, but that don't mean I’m about to throw myself in to the arms of a MAN." she shuddered at the thought. "Third: come on, he is Scott, what could be more boring then dinner with Scott." Logana frowned, no way she was going out to dinner with Scott.

"If your worried about us being married, it's ok... I don't think that he will throw himself at you..." she thought a moment.

"At least not on the *First* Date." Jean said and saw Logana looked at her with a warning
look.

"No way, I'm not going to dinner with Scott... wait a minute, who's idea was this anyway? Yer not that stupid, Scott would never have the nerve... Jubilee?" Logana thought for a moment. "No, she would never do that to me, would she?"

Jean sighed. "Ok, I can tell you this much, Scott would like nothing else than to see you say no." Jean gave Logana a wicked grin.

"So, you mean that One-eye doesn't like the idea? What time was that dinner again?" Logana grinned at the thought of seeing Scott sweat though a dinner with her.

"Is that a yes?" Jean said smiling. "Remember if you say yes, I won't let you back down."

Logana looked at her confused. "What is that supposed to mean, ye think I can't handle a
dinner with One-eye, and yes that is a *yes*"

"Excellent, I’ll go make sure you get the best restaurant in town." Jean smiled and hurried
out the room, Scott would freak out.

"Hey, nothing fancy is necessary, a simple old bar would do." Logana yelled out the door.

"Sure but they would not have a dress code." Jean yelled back.

"Ok." Logana grabbed her beer. "Hey, what do ye mean by dress code." she yelled out
after Jean.

============================================================

"WAIT, THIS WAS *NOT* PART OF THE DEAL." Logana yelled and held her arms
infront of her backing away from Jean, Rouge and Jubilee.

"What did you think *Dress Code* means." Jean said grinning wide

"Not that it would mean that I was to dress up like some queen if that is what you mean,
no way I'm getting in one of those."

"Sugah, *That* is only the start, we are going for the entire thing here, your hair is next."
Rouge was smiling even bigger than Jean.

"I said I would not let you back out now." Jean said and started to walk over to Logana.
"Oh it won't be that bad."

Logana looked at Jubilee. "No way, ya fell for this, ya pay the price, Remember ya can
always take it out on Scott later." Jubilee grinned.

Admiral

"I can't believe this." Scott moaned as he got out the suit Gambit had sent in from the
States. "I swear, Remy, next time we spar in the Danger Room..."

"It'll be fun." Gambit said as he grinned, "I never thought dat Logana would accept."

"She did and I hate you." Scott said as he glared at the Cajun.

"At least you know how to get ready, Logana on the other hand..."

*****

"Hold still, sugah!" Rogue said as she fought a battle with Logana's hair with her gloved
hands. "Honestly, your hair just defies the laws of gravity."

"I don't like people tugging with my hair." Logana grumbled as she held back the urge to
rush out of the chair.

Jean entered the room with an odd looking bucket. "Here's the hair relaxer."

She put the bucket over Logana's head and flipped the switch. "Steam?" Logana asked.
"Yeah, that'll work." Rogue said as she stepped back.

A few minutes later...

"Okay, put on the dress." Jean said as she handed Logana a dress. "You don't want to
keep Scott waiting."

*****

"Are you alright?" Hank asked as he, Walter, Amanda and Moria entered the room and
noticed Scott pacing and glaring at Remy.

"No." Scott replied, "How are the test results?"

"It's magic." Amanda said, "But we're not sure how to reverse it. It's unlike anything I ever saw before."

"Great." Scott muttered as he sighed.

Hank looked at Scott's suit and asked, "May I inquire on why you are dressed tonight?"
Before Scott could answer, a short woman entered the room. Her hair was slicked back
and held down by bobby pins, her face was smooth, her dress was a knee high, black
formal gown with no sleeves, on her shoulder was a matching purse glittered with
sequins. On her feet was a cute pair of short heeled black boots. All of the men choked a
little at the sight.

"Logan?!" Scott asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, ya got a problem with that?" Logana said as she got out a beer and drank it.

"No." Scott said as he picked his jaw up from the floor.

"Wow." Hank said in admiration.

"Don't think it Hank!" Logana growled as she popped a pair of adamantium claws.

"Right. How foolish of me." Hank said.

“Good. Let’s go, Slim.” Logana said as she grabbed the stunned man’s hand and dragged
him out the door. “The sooner we get this over with the better.”

“Okay, bye Jean!” Scott yelled out.

"Have fun!" Gambit said in a sweet voice. Scott glared at him as he and Logana went to
the car.

Maria Cline

"So what did Jean say to you to get you to go along with this?" Scott asked Logana when
they were in the car.

"She said it would make you miserable."

"Oh." Scott had almost complimented Logana on her appearance and then thought better
of it, after all man or woman, he was still out on a date with Wolverine and he knew that
he would have to watch every word. Wolverine's berserker rages were something that
even Cyclops, leader of the X-Men feared and now that Wolverine was a woman, well
Scott knew enough about women to know that there was never such a thing as the right
thing to say. He had made sure to keep eye contact with Logana the whole time, and it
wasn't easy, whoever had performed this little bit of magic, did a damn good job.

"So who put you up to this?" Logana asked.

"Remy."

"Remy? What the hell is he trying to pull?"

"Umm, I don't know. I think he thought it would make a good joke. I mean after all, it
isn't like you and I could have much of a civilized conversation before... I mean things
haven't changed that much."

"Nothing's changed." Logana replied with a bit of a snarl.

"Right, nothing's changed between you and me." Scott replied quickly. /Time for a new
topic of conversation,/ he thought. "Well this is the place. Ladies fir.."

"Grrrr!"

"Right I'll go see if they have our table ready." Scott talked to the hostess and soon they
were led to their table. The restaurant was incredibly romantic, dimly lit with violin music playing in the background and a single rose on every table. Remy was definitely gonna pay for this. When they were handed their menus, Logana quickly closed hers and asked Scott for his. She took one look at it and began mumbling.

"What? What's the problem?"

"My menu doesn't have any prices in it and yours does."

"What you're kidding? I didn't think there were any restaurants that still did that."

"Oh forget it, I don't care. Take your menu and order something, I want to get this over
with." Logana replied shoving the menu at Scott.

Polka Dot

”Okay." Scott said as he looked over the menu.

A waiter came up to the table and asked Scott, "Are you two ready to order yet?"

Logana growled as she said, "I'm still deciding."

"Me too." Scott added as he looked over his menu.

"Very well. I'll come back in a few minutes." the waiter told Scott. Logan nearly snarled and Scott grabbed her hand. The waiter ignored the angry woman and left.

"He ain't getting a tip." Logana said as she looked at her hand. "You can let go, Slim."

Scott turned red as he let go of Logana's hand and said, "Sorry. I just didn't want you to
attack that waiter."

Logana grumbled as she glanced at her menu again.

"I won't leave a tip." Scott promised.

"Good."

*****

"This looks like a good place." A man said as he and his date entered the restaurant.

"It's nice, Nate." Domino commented as the waiter led the two to their table.

"I know. Jean recommended this place a few days ago. After this, we'll stop by Muir
Island. I heard that something odd happened to Logan." Nathan said as he sat down.

Domino glanced at her menu and frowned. "No prices?" Domino sighed as she looked up
and asked, "Is that your father over there?"

Maria Cline

Nathan looked over to Scott seeing a beautiful woman that looked less then pleased.

"Yes, but who is she?" Nathan looked puzzled.

"Don't know... there is something familiar about her though... don't you think."

"Guess we should say hello... and take the chance to find out." Nathan said intrigued
who this beautiful woman was, and to the reason that Scott would be at a romantic
place whit her.

=============

~sniff~ Logana's eye's turned wide. "I don't believe this... CABLE!" she looked around
and saw them walking from the other side of the room.

"Nathan? Here?" Scott looked over Logana's shoulder, seeing Domino and Nathan
walking.

"Scott ye tell yer son to get lost." Logan tightened her fist, apparently the change to
Logana had not changed the fact that he had no love for Cable.

"He will have a laugh out of this." Scott closed his eyes.

Logana frowned and braced her self as she heard Cable... "Hello Scott." Cable said
and nodded politely at Logana, smiling.

"Hello, didn't expect to find you here." Domino said after Cable and held out a hand to
Logana... but quickly withdrew it as the woman looked as if she was about to bite it
off.

"Eh, right, well... I guess you’re at Muir Island, heard something weird happened to the
hairball."

Logana gave a low snarl and Scott could see that she was about to explode.

"Yes, you see it's... Eh difficult to explain." Scott said in an attempt to diffuse the
situation.

Logana stood up... "Excuse me." she frowned and walked off.

Scott was about to go and stop her but, when Cable thought that she was out of
hearing range he asked, "No offense Scott... but what was *that*?"

"Yes, she was not to happy." Domino said quickly.

Scott put his head in both hands...

Domino tapped Nathan on his shoulder... "Nathan didn't she enter the Men's room?"
Nathan looked over and saw her come out of the Men's room and head for the other
door.

Domino and Nathan looked at Scott, puzzled... but interested.

Admiral

"Errr... umm..." Scott stammered nervously as he tapped his finger on the table. "It's hard to explain."

"Okay, do you mind if I talk to your date?" Domino asked as she gestured to the door.

Scott frowned a little and nodded. "Please, she still needs to order and I know she didn't
want me to order for her."

Domino walked into the ladies bathroom as Nathan glanced back at Scott. **Okay, Slym.
Who's the lady?** Nathan asked telepathically.

Scott took a deep breath and thought out all that had occurred: Logan's surgery, the
morning after that, his duel with Jean and Scott's bet with Gambit and now the dinner.

Nathan's eyes widen as he asked out loud, "Logan?"

"Yup."

"That's Logan?! By the bright lady, she looks very attractive."

"I know but don't tell Logana that."

"Logana?!"

Maria Cline

Scott noticed that the corners of Nathan's mouth seemed to be twitching, quite a bit.

"Don't do it Nathan, she'll kill you." Scott wasn't a telepath, but he knew his son pretty
well and knew what he was thinking.

"Do what?" Nathan had it under control now, but his eyes still gleamed with amusement,
Scott knew that inside he was dying with laughter. /He must get it from his mom,/ Scott
thought, finding nothing amusing in the current situation.

"You're kidding right? You can't see the humor here?" Nathan was really losing it now. He had already contacted Domino and had seriously considered asking her to 'peek,' just for curiosity's sake, of course. But Scott was right, that would be wrong, even if it was
Logan, or Logana. At that thought Nathan burst out laughing, he couldn't hold it in
anymore.

"Nathan, this is a serious situation. Someone got through the mansion's security and was
able to magically change Logan into Logana we don't know who or why or how."

"Did you see her legs and her face and her chest, I mean he's really a woman!?" Nathan's
muffled voice reached Scott through his arm as he now had his head on the table.

"Yes I saw it all and yes Logana is a woman, but we're working on that."

"Oh, really, that makes sense, it's almost too bad, you know. So Jean doesn't mind the
date?"

"No Jean's getting quite the kick out of this. Are you okay now, because the ladies should
be back soon." That was the wrong thing to say as the word ladies sent Nathan into
another fit of laughter. /Damn,/ thought Scott,/he's gonna get me going if he doesn't stop./
At that moment Nathan sent a telepathic image, that he had received from Domino, to
Scott. It was of Logana fixing her pantyhose in the bathroom mirror. It may very well
have been the first time in Scott's life that he actually 'lost it.' It started as a little chuckle
and before either of them knew it, Scott was laughing so hard that tears were streaming
down his face.

Scott and Nathan were still chuckling a few minutes later, when a short ferociously pretty
woman stepped up to the table asking, "What's so funny, bub?"
