Logan walked into the Canadian bar. It was like Loftland City where he'd
first met Marie. He went in and saw a cage. There were two men inside
fighting. One was huge with a snake tattooed all over his arms and bald
head. The other was short and skinny. Logan couldn't believe that this
small guy would even try fighting the other. In 5 seconds the little guy
was knocked out. Logan needed money so he decided to fight, he walked into
the cage. The guy had already gained $3000 and people had already doubled
it betting that he would beat the next guy. 10 seconds after stepping into
the cage, Logan had knocked out the large man. He had just gained $2000.
Then after two more fights a girl walked over to the cage. She told the
announcer she wanted to fight.
"Well little lady, I don't think you want to fight the Wolverine," he said.
The girl looked at him angrily, "I said I want to fight!"
The announcer backed down and let her in.
She walked into a corner and took a deep breath. She had on a black leather
jacket, white tank-top that clung to her as if she was keeping it alive.
Logan noticed that she had black spandex shorts on that cut off above the
knee. She had black hair with red streaks pulled back, it looked like black
and red flames. She had beautiful black eyes. But right now Logan couldn't
think of that, he had to fight her first. Usually the opposing challengers
hit him first, but she just got into a fighting stance and waited. Logan
watched her carefully. Logan tried to punch her but she dodged. Again and
again she dodged his punches. "When are you going to fight?" he asked her.
She smirked and said, "Now."
Logan threw a punch, the girl put her hand up and stopped it. Logan looked
and saw that she wasn't even touching his hand. She was a Mutant! The girl
muttered something under her breath and Logan was suddenly slammed into the
cage wall. He got up but he was slammed again and again. Finally he just
decided to let her have her money. He lay still and watched as the girl got
her money and left.
Later, Logan sat at the bar. "I'll have a beer," he told the bartender. He
smelled someone standing behind him as he took a drink. He turned and saw
the girl standing there watching him.
"I know that you let me win, and that I used my skills to win. You deserve
at least part of the money."
With that she gave him half her earnings. "Thanks," he muttered.
She sat down next to him, ordered a coke and watched the TV that was setup
above the bar.
"I need to ask you a favor," she said.
Logan looked up from his beer to the TV. "What?" he asked.
She took a drink from her coke and said, "I know that you live in New York
at a school for "gifted" youngsters. I hear that it's run by a man called
Charles Xavier. I have to see him. I want you to take me there."
Logan stared blankly at her. "Why?" he said suspiciously.
She smirked, "Don't worry I'm not going to hurt him or any of the
"youngsters". I just need to talk to him."
Logan thought for a minute, "Fine."
They left the bar quietly. Logan still had Scott's bike. He got on and waited for the girl to get on. "Oh yeah, I forgot to ask, what's your real name. I didn't think it was really Wolverine." "I'm Logan. And you are?" he said. "Meilin, now lets go." She got on the bike and put her arms around Logans waist just before he took off.
