Summary
Logan made it to the parking lot. Rain was still falling. It ran off the brim of his hat and down his neck; it bounced off the woman’s umbrella, a halo of light around her, backlighting her into an indistinct shape as she turned towards him, a featureless head in the dark. Then she put the umbrella down behind her head, blocking the light from behind, and in the dim green-blue light of the street signals he saw her face and the silver streak in her hair and he knew her, knew the shape of that distinct mouth, those dark eyes.
Even though time had slimmed her face, sharpened her jaw and cheeks— he knew her. He would have known her if he’d been blind. He would have recognized her breathing: the texture of her steps on asphalt, on grass, on wood floors, on earth.
“Rogue?” he whispered, unsteady.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Marie finds Logan in Japan after the Silver Samurai is defeated. But as public opinion slowly sways against mutants, they discover all is not as it seems with Yashida Industries, and a company called Trask is slowly creeping up the horizon...

Summary
In the wake of the Mutant Registration Act of 1954, a climate of fear and suspicion swept across America. Mutants, once hailed as heroes, found themselves vilified and hunted. Under mounting public pressure and faced with the staggering cost of containing "mutant incidents," the government quietly initiated the Mutant Assimilation Program.
The deal was simple: mutants would be granted amnesty and a chance at a normal life in exchange for suppressing their powers and blending into society. No more heroics, no more public displays of ability—just ordinary lives lived in the shadows of true potential.
In Meridian, Mississippi, Marie Robbins is one such hidden marvel. To the world, she's just another housewife, trapped in her loveless marriage and crumbling home, with nothing to do but wash clothes, bake desserts and spy on the neighbors.
Meanwhile, the seemingly perfect Logan and Jean Howlett move in across the street with secrets of their own.
As the summer heat rises and tensions simmer, these extraordinary individuals continue their quiet, anonymous existence. Each small act of kindness, each moment of restraint, a silent testament to the heroes they once were – and perhaps, might be again.

Summary
“I’m starting to think you might just jump off one of these days,” he says with a furrowed brow. It makes her smile, despite herself.
“What would you do if I did?” she retorts with a playful tilt of her head. A rhetorical question, though she can’t help the smallest tinge of curiosity that slips into her words.
He lightly scoffs, before his semi-permanent frown deepens just a fraction. “Catch you. What else?”
Xiaoyu gets homesick almost a year after moving to Japan.
(Set before Tekken 3.)
