Strong.
If she had to choose one word to describe him, it would have to be strong.
Oh sure, he was brave, kind, and wonderful... But he was so strong.
To be able to deal with everything he experienced in that past 15 years he can remember, he had to be strong. Having raging hot adamantiam poured along every single one of your bones and living through it, even with a healing mutation. Freeing yourself from the lab you had said experiment done to you and waking up a day or so later passed out in the snow. Then to go on day after day, when plagued with the memories of that time in your nightmares that accrued everytime you went to sleep. Becoming so lost and yet, you still try to find your way.
Then when you try to loose yourself and make everything numb in the meaningless bar fights in Canada, you meet up with a girl who cannot be touched, because of poisonous skin. To save her life by giving her your healing ability when you touched her. And then to hold her, to actually hold her, after she almost killed you with her skin. To fight for her well being. And once again, you risk your existence to save hers. Her ears picked up the college radio station that was playing in the background. The lyrics she heard made her smile.
You would fight for me
How many times have you fought for or because me?
You would starve for me
Can anyone say beef jerky?
You would suffer, suffer for me
Wince... Umm we'll just say yes.
You would dote on me
Two words... Dog tags. And lets not forget your physical touches.
Well I feel the same way too. You know I feel that way about you.
Logan is strong. And because of that, I'm his.
