Tough luck Wolverine, but your loving wife was definitely not the type to be waiting for you at home. No, Ororo refused to stay in one place for too long a time, and she definitely was not going to spend her days pining for a husband who wouldn't return. As the weeks passed by and Logan still had not come back, she'd found other things to occupy her time.

Seeing as she couldn't very well stay in the sky at all hours of the day, training took much of her time - even when the younger X-Men and other students turned up less frequently than before. She'd given them leeway considering how hard some people had been hit by the invasion, and because summer was drawing to a close. She refused to do herself the same favor and, on some occasions, found herself in the Dome until the sun was close to setting. Afterwards, she'd head back to the house if only to see to it that Mia and Kurt and Rogue were all right for the night - and then usually it was back to making it so she didn't have to dwell on certain memories and feelings by taking long evening flights.

But eventually she hears about his return when somebody lets it slip. It doesn't matter who it is, because it doesn't take too much thinking on her part to figure out where he is.

She enters Good Spirits late into the evening, hoping she hadn't been wrong.
