READ FIRST: In this fanfic I will be using the comic book version of Mystique, Raven Darkhölme, not the X-Men: First Class movie version Mystique BUT yet I will be using the movie versions of Logan (Hugh) and Victor (Liev). Don't get me wrong I love the movie Mystique but she wouldn't work in this story.
Also, as a disclaimer this story begins exactly like the comic book "Get Mystique" by Jason Aaron and Ron Garney where Logan and Mystique first meet BUT only the first chapter.
If you don't understand something then please ask me!
P.S. I don't know Spanish even though took 3 years of it in school, thanks to the American school systems! Anyways, I used an online translator so my translations can be completely wrong. Sorry, Spanish speaking people!
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Year: 1921
The Sonoran Desert, Mexico
"¡Despierta, perro asqueroso!" Wake up, you filthy dog! Logan heard a Mexican soldier yell at him when three soldiers opened his cell door. Blinding sunlight poured into the cell and it hurt Logan's eyes so much that he had to look away.
Logan was lying down on the cell's cold hard dirt floor with uncomfortable tight chain cuffs around his ankles. He didn't exactly look his best right now since his clothes were completely torn up to the point where it looked like they were just about to fall off him. Dirt, blood, and filth also covered his entire body.
"¡Despierta!" Wake up! They yelled again as one of the soldiers hit Logan in the face with the back of a rifle gun, knocking Logan back down.
Logan wiped the blood off his face and sat up before he made a joke since knew they couldn't understand him anyway. "No breakfast for me, thanks anyways, fellas. Think I'd rather sleep in."
"¡Levántese!" Get up! They yelled at him before two of the Mexican soldiers pulled him up to his feet. One of the soldiers then unchained his ankles cuffs before they hauled him outside into the burning hot sun of Mexico. Logan knew they were taking him to the big yard in the Military base where they performed firing squad executions.
"¡Hoy es el día que mueres!" Today is the day you're going to die! The highest ranking solider shouted behind him.
"Yeah yeah," he mumbled. Logan couldn't even keep track about how many times he had been at executions. Yeah sure, they would hurt but he would heal up and be on his way in no time.
When they finally made their way into the yard, the soldiers slammed Logan's back against a wooden post. They then roughly tied his hands behind his back and tied a blindfold over his eyes. Logan sighed in annoyance, he rather not have the blindfold on so he could see when they were shooting at him but either way he would get out this place the same way.
He stood there for a few minutes, wondering when they were going to start when he heard them bring someone else over to the post next to him.
When they tied the person to the post next to him, he knew it was a woman by her sweet scent. He wondered what crime she had done but he didn't say anything, he didn't care that much to ask.
"They arrest you just for stinking to high heaven, Stranger or you got other crimes worse than that?" Logan suddenly heard the woman ask him in English.
"Afraid so. I'm what they call the lowest of the low," Logan answered.
"You're a murderer?"
"Worse. A horse thief," he said, feeling stupid that these stupid soldiers even caught him in the first place. Him and his brother, Victor had stole horses from the wrong people since they suddenly had the whole Mexican army behind them. Victor had gotten away but Logan wasn't so lucky.
"How 'bout you sweetheart?"
"I was born with the wrong color skin," she simply retorted.
"You're black?"
"No, dear I'm a tad more exotic than that. Because I'm different and have abilities they can't understand, these ignorant peasants figure me for some sort witch. But I merely am what I am."
Logan suddenly became more interested in her. It sounded like she had unnatural abilities like him. Now he was wondering, what powers she had.
"Whether it was God or the devil that made me the way I am, I choose not to give a damn," she added.
Logan laughed.
"What? What are you laughing about?"
"Oh nothin' darlin'," Logan replied. He heard the soldiers get in position and cock their rifles. "Just fancy meetin' you here is all."
"Ready! Aim…" The highest ranking solider yelled at the men holding the guns as he held his sword up high.
"You don't seem too worried, friend for someone who's about to die …" the woman noted. "I'm hoping that means you've got an ace up your sleeve."
If only the woman could see Logan was smiling.
"¡Fuego!" Fire! The man yelled, pointing his sword at the prisoners.
Logan grunted as he felt bullets rip through his chest but then pulled apart the ropes tied around his wrists. He wasn't sure if any bullets had hit the woman but he jumped in front of her and felt bullets hit him. He figured she probably did caught a few bullets.
Oh well…
Logan pulled his blindfold off and released his bone claws.
The soldiers stared at him but continued shooting at him. Logan charged at them and began to slash at anyone who got in his way. The fight was over pretty fast and many of the soldiers decided to run away. No one could escape Logan's deadly claws.
Logan stood over a pile of dead soldiers and retracted his claws but suddenly one the soldiers who were supposed to be dead, stabbed him in the right thigh with a knife. Logan grunted in pain but that didn't stop him from swiping away the rifle the solider tried to pick up. Instead of killing him, Logan simply banged him in the head with it.
"Oh my goodness gracious…" Logan heard the woman say behind him. He was surprised she had survived.
"An ace up your sleeve, indeed."
Logan pulled the knife out of his leg and threw it aside.
"Doesn't that…hurt…when you-
"Yeah," he responded then turned around to get a good look at her since he wanted to see her "exotic" skin.
She did indeed have very exotic skin color…it was blue. He had seen a lot of shit in his life but never a blue skinned girl but despite that she was very beautiful. She had long red hair, red nails and red voluptuous lips. She looked to be around late twenties maybe early thirties and her eyes were different too since they were yellow and could probably light up a dark room like a flashlight. She was wearing dirty jeans, cowboy hat and boots and a torn-up white shirt that exposed her blue flat stomach. (FYI: Jeans were invented in 1873 so nahhh)
"Well, I certainly appreciate your timely intervention, friend," she thanked him. "How'd you know I'd be able to untie myself before the shooting started?"
"I didn't," Logan responded, looking around the base.
"I see well, thanks any-
Logan started walking away towards the open desert before she could finish her sentence.
"Hey, where you going?" she shouted, running after him.
"The nearest bar." He needed a drink before he saw Victor since he was never going to let him live it down for getting caught.
"I know a place in Nogales. You like mescal?" she asked him. "I'm Raven, you got a name?"
Ironically, Victor and him were actually supposed to meet at Nogales but Logan still said nothing to Raven.
"You're not gonna make me guess, are you?" Raven asked, trying to keep up with him.
"Logan."
"Well, Logan, maybe we could walk together for a while. Would that be all right?"
"What we got to talk about?" he grumbled, wondering why she was following him.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe the fact that we met out here in the middle of nowhere like this, me with my blue skin and you with your…well, whatever."
"And that makes us have something in common?"
"I can't tell if you are being asshole or this is your way of flirting?"
Logan didn't say anything but hid a smirk.
Raven got up next to him and smiled, "You never know this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship or more…"
Logan finally looked at her and grinned, "Okay but you're buyin' the Mescal."
OoOoOoOoOoOoO
Don't give me any credit! This is exactly how it was written in the comic book! Though, I did tweak it a little but don't worry all the chapters after this one will be from my brain!
But what do you guys think? Please tell me! Ahhhh lakjsdf;lkas
