A/N: This takes place a few weeks after Harvest.

Ch 1: The rescue, and meeting.

Buffy was walking home after a long night of patrolling, when suddenly she sensed someone following her. She whirled around, and growled, " Alright Mr. Creepy Stalker Guy, thanks for the warning about the Harvest, but really I'm not interested."

Much to her surprise the guy calling himself Angel wasn't there, instead she was staring at a huge blonde guy with clawed hands, cold predatory amber eyes, and sharp teeth. He growled, " What'cha doin out this late girlie?"

Buffy arched a brow as she quipped, " Just walking home. Man you need to trim your nails, take a bath, and eat a whole truck full of breath mints."

The huge blonde man roared, " I'll teach ya ta make fun o me girlie,"

And with a guttural roar he charged Buffy, She vaulted over him, and swept his feet out from under him when she landed. She quipped as he leapt back to his feet, " You're not gonna like how this ends furball."

The guy let out an animalistic roar, and rushed her. She was able to evade a massive haymaker, but she flipped right into a devastating slash, it carved five deep bloody gashes in her stomach. She grunted in pain as she back flipped several feet away. She growled, " Who are you?"

He gave a feral grin as he growled, " I'm called Creed, Victor Creed."

Buffy gasped, Giles had told her about rumors he had heard that the Master sometimes used Victor Creed, AKA Sabretooth as an assassin. Up until now she thought it was just that, rumor, and nothing more, but here he was; standing in front of her larger than life, and about to rip her guts out. She glared up at Creed as she growled, " What do you want from me?"

He shot her a predatory grin as he growled, " I want to kill the Slayer, an ya just happen ta be her girlie."

Buffy replied in a pain filled voice, " Yea I'm the Slayer, and you're going to wish you'd left me alone."

Creed gave an evil laugh as he circled Buffy like a tiger stalking it's prey. Just as he leapt at her a man slammed into Creed knocking him into a tree. The man flipped back to his feet, and barked gruffly, " Ya alright?"

Buffy nodded as she stared at the man, he was short, and powerfully built. He had wild raven black hair, long thick raven black sideburns, and cold predatory silver eyes. He wore old faded blue jeans, a tight white t-shirt, snakeskin cowboy boots, and a battered brown leather jacket. She was about to say something, when Creed jumped to his feet, and plunged one hand into the man's gut, and lifted him off the ground. The man let out an animalistic roar, unsheathed six one foot long metal claws, and buried one set in Creed's throat, and raked the other set down his left cheek. Creed howled in pain, and threw the shorter man away. Then he limped off. Buffy stared in amazement as the five bloody holes in the man's stomach magically closed up. The man sheathed his claws with an audible SNAKT as he asked, " What's yer name darlin?"

Buffy replied, " I'm Buffy."

The man grinned as he drawled, " Names Logan. Whatcha doin out here?"

She said coyly, " I was just out for a walk, when that guy attacked me."

Logan lit a cigarillo as he drawled, " Really, an that bit bout bein tha Slayer had nothing at all ta do with it?"

She cocked her head as she asked coyly, " And just how do you know that?"

He drawled as he exhaled a cloud of bluish smoke, " Smelled tha power."

Buffy stared incredulously at him as she gasped, " You can smell that how?"

Logan grinned as he exhaled a plume of bluish smoke from his nostrils, " I'm a mutant darlin."

It was Buffy's turn to gasp as she asked, " Mutants are real, I thought they were just a myth."

Logan gave a hearty laugh as he said, " Nah darlin mutants are real, whaddya think Creed was?"

Buffy was silent for several minutes, then she said, " Thank you for saving me Logan, I owe you."

Logan grinned as he clamped the cigarillo in his teeth, and said, " Nah ya don't darlin, I was happy ta help, see ya round."

And with that he was gone.

Hope y'all enjoy this
