The day was a nice, warm kind of nostalgic day. The kind where you would look back on a cold winter's morning and remember the sun on your skin and how it instantly warmed you up but not to the point that it burned you. This was the perfect kind of day to go out hiking in the woods in Clara's mind. She gripped onto her bag and glanced around as she enjoyed the solitude of what nature brought with miles between her and the next town. Her legs gave off a slow burn but she still ventured further as she wished to be at her meeting point before it was too late.

A sound from the right made her turn just in time to see a deer jumping and running away from her. The sight was beautiful but something in her stomach made her stop as she took in the surroundings around her. She couldn't see who was out there but she sensed someone was watching her. Clara formed her jaw into a tight line before she felt something roughly push her down the trail.

The impact caught her off guard but not enough to send her falling over as she turned and threw a punch at her intruder but it only grazed him. Instinct told her to take out her knife by her hip but the second she touched it, she knew that was a big mistake. The knife came flying out of her hands just as her back was pinned to the nearest tree as the knife was placed lightly at her neck.

Clara took in a couple of pants as she stared into the bluish-grey eyes of her intruder, his eyes still hard as metal after all these years. She slowly smirked at him as she got comfortable by the tree.

"Hello, Erik"

"Clara…" Erik's eyes gazed downward at her body before he looked back up at her eyes, "Long time, no see"

Clara shrugged, "That's what prison will do to you once you kill a President"

Erik eased off of her as he stated, "You know that's not how it happened, you were there, remember?"

"Of course, I do" Clara pushed herself off of the tree, "You told me to run out the safe door while they arrest you, and now you are here. After all these years, I saw this moment happening"

"When?"

"About three days ago" Clara answered.

"Three days ago and I still got the upper hand in this fight?" Erik asked.

"Maybe I let you" Clara straightened herself up before she continued down the trail, "You always loved to be in control"

Erik gave off a smile but immediately hid it as he continued to follow the blonde mutant along her hiking path. He has been in Poland for nearly several days now, trying to find where Clara had hidden herself away in. When she was by his side, the pair always said that Poland was their safe spot to run to if things should go badly. He never knew that after all these years, she would still be here, waiting for him. He glanced up to the sky as the tall trees shaded them from the unwanting eyes of the sun before he took only a couple of strides before he was by her side once more.

"Why are you here?" Clara asked.

"You can see into the future, you tell me" Erik told her.

Clara scoffed, "I can only see the future when I gaze into fire, you know that"

Erik teased, "So you saw me coming back into your life once more but you never once thought about to venture further?"

"Sometimes it works that way" Clara glances over to him, "Sometimes it doesn't"

Erik smirked before he liked his lips and responded, "I need a place to lay low for a while. Maybe for a long while considering how much of an extent I did on America"

Clara said slowly, "And you believe that I have space in my cabin for you?"

"You always do" Erik said in a low, sultry voice that made Clara stop, "We never were the type to be in different beds"

Clara felt the burning feeling in her cheeks as she tried her best to summon up the same smooth attitude as him as she said, "Times have changed, Erik"

"Not all things" Erik smirked as he took out a lighter and flicked it on as the tiny flame danced around her, "Tell me, doll… what do you see in our future"

Clara rubbed her lips together before she glanced down to the flame as she could easily see her and Erik tangled in the sheets of her cabin. He was thrusting into her as she moved her head back and opened her mouth into a moan as her toes curled in. Her hands were roaming his body as she could see him watching her with a look of desire written all over his face. Clara wanted to continue watching but Erik put away the flame and hid the lighter in his pocket. She glanced up and stared at him as she could see her body calling out to him as it always had time and time before.

"I saw what we would normally do in the past" Clara answered honestly.

Erik displayed a smirk that shows that he sort of knew where the future would lead to, "I seem to recall that you liked doing the things we do... now that we're alone, I'd figured you would like it even more"

"You always liked having an audience" Clara rolled her eyes as she remembered trying to keep her voice down so that none of their other friends would hear them but that only made Erik want to pleasure her more.

He then leaned in close until his breath was masking her face, "Not as much as I enjoyed having you around me"
