Faith
Faith knocked on Logan's door, before letting herself in, old worn out bag, slung carelessly over her shoulder.
"Logan... I have to go."
Logan
Logan stood slowly, putting a hand on his desk where he'd been writing up a Danger Room report on one of the kids.
"Darlin'..."
His voice died away in disbelief.
Faith
Faith touched Logan's cheek gently.
"I just can't stay still right now... I'm pregnant."
She closed her eyes for a moment.
"And to Zac."
Logan
Logan opened his mouth for a moment, then closed it again. Then he hesitated, then spoke.
"That doesn't matter ta me, darlin'...I just want you here."
How can I get my claws on that little hormonal bastard and castrate him...Logan thought to himself.
Faith
"It's not just that... I quit the Watcher's Council yesterday and I'm thinking about giving up slaying."
Faith kissed Logan softly.
"I don't know who I am at the moment... so I'm going to go tell Zac about this kid, then I'm gonna go somewhere. Work out who I am. I won't be gone forever."
She hated to admit it, but she needed Angel's help.
Logan
Logan's face went stone cold. If he hadn't, he would have started to howl.
"Alright."
He really couldn't argue with her reasons. He'd done the same thing more then once at Xavier's. And she said she was coming back...
"Are you talking the kids with you?"
Faith
"I don't want to make Brand leave, he has friends here and he is in school," Faith said.
"But I'm leaving Airlia with Gunn. She knows and she's ok with it. I think mainly because Wolfram and Hart has a whole level devoted to ice cream and such."
She nodded slightly.
"So... I guess I'll be heading off."
Logan
"Are you..."
Logan paused for a moment.
"Is there anything I can do?"
Faith
"Make sure Brand stays alive," Faith said.
"And that means you can't kill him."
She smiled slightly.
"I will be back."
Logan
"Alright. As long as you come back," Logan said softly.
Is this what it was like for Rogue the time he disappeared?
"Don't do anything stupid."
Faith
"Hey, you know me."
Faith kissed Logan slowly.
"Don't kill any students. Namely, Brand."
Logan
"Would I do that?"
Logan met her unamused glance, and sighed.
"I won't."
Faith
"Thank you."
Faith kissed him again, then pulled away.
"Well, I better get going. People, places, all that crap."
She hitched her bag up on her shoulder again and saluted.
"See ya round, soldier."
Logan
"Bye, darlin'," Logan said softly.
His eyes lingered on her, fixing her to memory.
Faith
Faith grinned, saluted again and left.
