I own nothing! Enjoy, and please review!
2039
Logan looked at the girl who he'd come to love more than anything while she looked back at him shaking her head unsure.
"Who knows if it work, Logan, no I can't…I can't do it" she was panicking from being torn out of her peaceful state. She thought that they were all past the chaos. She looked at Logan wishing they could have had more time together, she went through the last few years in her mind, regretting all the times they could have made things better, how they could have been together sooner.
Logan watched as she tried to focus on the task at hand, but still panic at what was going on above. Everything had gone to shit up there, he glanced up thinking of the people they lost, his family he watched slaughtered….again. He hated that he couldn't help her calm down, but he didn't even know if the plan would work either. They didn't have any other options either.
The earth shook as the foundation was being torn apart from above. Rachel and Logan were hiding in the tunnels under the mansion. Above were the machines Logan thought he'd never see again. But they tore apart the mansion in one fail swoop, leaving everyone scattered. There was no warning, no plan in place. It was a massacre. By the same machines Logan saw before, except in a different time.
He looked at Rachel, wishing he could give her his powers; she was bruised, battered, and bleeding. He honestly didn't know if she could make the trip. He wanted to believe she could she was powerful, so powerful it sometimes worried him, but the power she had, the development she made throughout the years with her power. He loved everything about her, but he knew she had to leave him in order to change all of this..again. He believed in her, that she could do it. To go back in time and change what had happened.
"Listen to me" he said holding her tired body. Her red hair was matted while he tried to run his hand over it to comfort her, her body almost limp, but she was still the most beautiful thing in the world to him. "You can do this, You've done some pretty incredible things with your powers, just concentrate. You just have to find the mansion, find the professor, find me and explain it all. We'll know we've done it before" he said believing that if he saw her back then that he'd love her all over again, that they'd have another shot.
Rachel lowered her head into his chest his eyes were panicked, everything they had been through in the last few years never would have prepared her for this. She always knew Logan would protect her no matter what, but this time was different, and she couldn't bare the thought of leaving him, "I can't leave you here to die Logan"
Wrapping her in his arms, he knew it wouldn't be for long, but he didn't want to leave her either. She could see the memories flooding Logan's mind, of holding her as a child, teaching her in school, and as an adult how their friendship turned into something more, all his feelings were flooding into her like a wave, she couldn't leave him. Another explosion from above separated them; it cracked the cement foundation in the tunnel. "You have to go now" he said
She knew the year she had to go back to. To a time when Logan had described when he finally felt at peace knowing it was going to be ok. She had to go back and rock him out of that security. Not only that but she would have to go back to see her family, to see her parents when they were at their most happiest, before her mother was the dark Phoenix. Another blast rocked the halls again. Rachel held on to the wall for balance watching Logan track the cracks in the wall on the other side.
"Rachel now" he yelled. He wasn't kidding. If she had any shot at making this work it had to be now. The sentinels outside would incinerate them once they got in.
Rachel pulled Logan wrapping her arms around his neck. Logan let out a breath holding her tight and kissed her for the last time. "I love you" he said leaning his forehead to her
Rachel let out tired cry "I love you" another blast hit and rubble began to fall causing them to part.
Logan watched the cracking foundation and Rachel focused her energy and began to glow. The tunnel was lit white as more blasts came. Rachel watched as a tiny hole began to grow, a hand began to drill through the cement and Logan began to swing his metal claws at it, but the metal's collided causing Logan to jump back. They were made from adamantium, much like Logan.
The machines ripped open the hole and one was able to face Logan. He lunged for it as Rachel watched helpless; she could feel herself transferring her energy and consciousness back. All she could do was watch as the machine grabbed him with one hand, and with the drill in it's other went through Logan like it was butter.. Logan yelled in agony his thoughts started to fade out as Rachel's view began to fade as the white surrounded her, blinding her to everything.
She couldn't see him anymore, he was silent. Her breath caught and she fought for air knowing that was the last time she'd see her Wolverine again.
