Disclaimer: the X-Men, Wolverine et all are the property of Marvel. Me no own. Me own woman in story even thou she
hath no name.
Summary: Logan had a life before the claws...it's still waiting for him.
"Still"
She still waits.
After a decade and a half, after countless false leads, countless dead ends...
She still waits.
She still believes. The next day could bring a chance encounter, a fated reunion, she still waits.
The memory of his voice saying his name in a low, rumbling growl, his eyes on her, fierce with his passion, his hands
moving across her sweat-slicked skin...it all haunts her, lingers with her, follows her like an ever present ghost.
Tormenting with what was.
Her near perfect recall easily provides the days of their time together, of missions and exhilarating fights, The passion
that always erupted after every successful return. The quietness of their nights spent alone at their cabin. His favorite
expression, uttered with an amused smirk. "Not a vacation if they know where to find you."
Her enhanced abilities give her every memory of their time together, brings it back with such clarity she can almost live
within the memory but even those abilities fail her in the one way she wishes they wouldn't.
They can give her the memory of Logan but they cannot give her Logan himself.
So...
She still waits.
