I would like to say thanks to Psycho-Bunny1309 and Lamninator for being my first reviewer on this story. I really appreciated it.

Disclaimer: I own nothing. Just the plot and characters I created.

First Meeting.

Green eyes held brown as Sere waited for an answer. She allowed her eyes to move over the man before her taking in his appearance before letting her eyes meet his again. The tall man wore worn combat boots, blue jeans, and a white t-shirt. She thought he looked slightly animalistic with his brown hair and scruffy beard.

"The name's Logan. I brought you to my cabin after you passed out in town." His voice came out as a slight growl as he spoke, "You need to get those cuts cleaned up, and then in the morning you can be on your way." Turning he went to the bathroom and returned with some peroxide, gaze, and tape, "Lay down and pull your shirt up."

Sere stood there staring at him wide eye when he told her to lie down, "I can take care of it myself." She stepped forward to claim the first aid items, "It's not as if my wounds are serious."

Logan stepped back and lifted the items over his head well out of her reach, "It will be quicker and easier for me to do it, so just do as I say and it will be over before you know it." He reached out with his free hand and gently pushed her toward the couch causing her to sit down. Then throwing her legs up on the couch making her lay down before pulling her shirt up over her stomach to clean and dress the cut. When he finished with both the cut on her stomach and the one on her arm he set everything back on the coffee table, "Are there anymore that need to be taken care of?"

Sere sat back up shaking her head no but grabbing at her ribs, "No she only managed to slice me twice. I think she bruised my ribs though, and my cheek but those shall heal in a few days." She looked out the window and saw that night had fallen hours ago, "I can tell that you really don't want me to be here so I'll go ahead and leave. Thanks for the help and once again I'm sorry for running into you and also for bothering you." She stood up and started heading for the door when she felt a hand wrap around her wrist stopping her.

Logan wasn't sure why he had decided to stop the girl when she was offering to leave him alone like he wanted, "Look it's late. Why don't you just stay here and you can leave in the morning. That way you can have some rest before you take off again." He pulled her over toward the couch again and had her sit back down.

Sere was surprised that he was acting like he wanted her to stay. Her fingers lightly ran over the gauze that was over the cut on her stomach, "Alright I'll stay but I'll try and leave at first light. I'm sure it wouldn't be the best idea for me to stay here any longer then necessary." She looked around the living room again trying to find out where she was, "Where exactly are we by the way? I mean I know you said I'm at your cabin but where?"

Logan looked at her like she was crazy, "Did you hit your head when you fell? Is that why you can't remember where you are?" He watched her for a moment ass her eyes met his again before lowering to his lap, "Or is there more to this story then I've picked up already?" It seemed as if she was having an internal fight as he sat there watching her.

Sitting there staring at her hands for a moment gave her a small amount of time to think. Sighing she raised her eyes up again but not meeting his, "It's a long story I suppose. I didn't hit my head when we fell. The reason that I don't know where I am is because just before I ran into you I was outside my apartment in southern California. So by the change in the temperature and scenery I saw before I passed out I'm pretty sure I'm not there anymore." She let her eyes meet his for a moment, "You see I'm a mutant. I can travel around the world using the shadows. Normally I have an idea in my head about where I want to go, but this time I was to distracted to really pay attention. Hence why I ran into you earlier."

Logan chewed on the end of his cigar as he listened to her explain why she didn't know where she was. Shaking his head he stood up and headed toward the kitchen, "Want something to drink?" After Sere shook her head no he reached in and grabbed himself a beer. After opening it and taking a long drink he went and sat back down in the living room, "So tell me why you weren't paying any attention." He sat quietly drinking his beer and chewing his cigar as she explained what had happened to her that day.

When Sere was done with her story she stood up and started patting her pockets looking for something. Finally she found a pack of cigarettes that were slightly crushed and her lighter, "I need some air, excuse me." Walking out onto the front porch she lit up one of her cigarettes and took a long drag. As she was staring up at the clear night sky she didn't notice the figure that was standing on the other side of the porch, and was surprised to hear Logan come out and start talking.

"What do you want?" With the doors and windows being open he had known the second that Sere was no longer by herself outside. He wasn't really sure if they were friend or foe but he had his guard up just incase. His arms hung easily at his side as he stared at the new person sizing them up in case there was going to be a fight break out.

Looking in the direction that Logan was Sere didn't need to hear the laugh that came out of the darkness or the voice that spoke shortly afterwards, to know who it was, "I'm here to take my dear little Rena off your hands." Raven only spared Logan a glance before turning her gaze to Sere, "I told you once you can't hide from me. Perhaps now you will believe me." Automatically she reached for her daggers, which would be easier than her gun, only to find that she had lost them in there last fight.
