Not ready to go back to the hotel, knowing Logan would follow me, I just went for a drive. My thoughts were so jumbled with the past that I managed to make it to somewhere in the country before I came to. I stopped the car on the side of the road and got out. I walked to the front and sat down on the hood feeling the heat of the engine on my rump. I was forcing the moments of that dreary day out of my head. The moment when Logan was not there. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly as the memories went away.
A breeze pushed through my hair as leaves surrounded me in their beautiful colors. I small smile touched my lips as I watched the countryside.
"Well, well, well, look who we got here." I wasn't sure what emotion touched me first, fear or terror. I looked across the street to see Sabertooth walking out of the woods. "I thought I had killed you years ago, Kat." I could hear a motorcycle in the distance. I knew we were going to fight, but it couldn't be until the motorcycle passed us or else the person riding it would end up dead. Sabertooth leaned his head back a little sniffing at the air. "I see you've been reunited with the pup." I guess it was Logan on the motorcycle. I stood facing him.
"What do you want, Creed?" He grinned.
"I want to see you bleed all over again. And this time, I'll make sure you're dead." I gulped as fear started taking over. I knew he was more than capable of ripping me limb from limb, but it wasn't his style. His style consisted of torture, pain, and a slow, slow death. I took a deep breath clearing my thoughts and emotions. I knew my powers weren't going to be at their strongest if I was scatterbrained.
Logan was approaching at an alarming speed.
"Might as well get this party started," Sabertooth said charging me. I took control of the wind and focused it all on Sabertooth blowing him back to where he started. Fireballs formed in my hands and I hurled them at him.
"You have to get me first!" I yelled. The fireballs hit him head on, but they did little damage. He charged me again and I ran away from the car to keep it from getting smashed.
It was a rental after all.
Like it matter much because Sabertooth picked it up and threw it at me with all his strength. I took control of the earth around me and brought it up in front of me like a barrier. The car smashed through it and hit me. I was buried under the rubble of my barrier. I stood up slowly and started throwing the pieces of rubble at him one by one as he charged me. He knocked them away like the were flies. I gave up on the earth and started conjuring the wind again to blow him back, but deep down I knew he was going to get to me before I did.
No sooner than he was going to hit me, someone else rammed into him in a blur. Logan had tackled him hard enough to make them both slide a good ten feet away from me. Logan jumped back next to me, bringing out his claws.
"What are you doing here?" I yelled at him.
"Later, we have more important business to take care of," he said charging Sabertooth. I looked around desperately for something to use to stop him with. Wind took to long to use on such a calm day, fire and earth didn't seem to faze him... I looked down into the ditch and saw there was a little water trickling down to a bigger stream somewhere in the area. I touched my finger into the water feeling where it was going and started pulling it to me, forming it into a ball.
"Logan!" I yelled as the ball was complete. "Watch your back!" He turned back and looked at me taking a blow in the face from Sabertooth knocking him back far enough out of my way. I hurled the giant water ball at him and enclosed him within it. I held it on him until he wasn't breathing anymore. I dropped him out of it and put the water back where it belonged. "This water is so polluted now." Logan scoffed.
"Look, Kat..."
"Not right now, Logan." He stopped. "Thank you. I don't think I could've done this without you." He stepped next to me and put his arm around my shoulders. Missing the comfort of being in his arms, I allowed them to stay there.
"You're welcome." We stood there for a moment before Logan spoke up. "You want a ride?" I scoffed.
"Please," I said walking over to the car. I reached in and tried to salvage my purse. "Man, and this was a rental too." I shook my head and followed Logan to his bike.
"Take me to my hotel room so I can grab my things. I'm not staying there anymore."
"Why not?" Logan asked putting on his helmet.
"I don't think he's dead, Logan." He contemplated this for a moment.
"You too, huh?" I nodded. He got on the bike then waited for me. Soon, we were back at my hotel and I grabbed my things and went back out.
"Where to?" Logan asked turning on the motorcycle.
"Your place," I said fastening my helmet.
"Good." I shook my head wrapping my arms around his waist and he took off in the direction of the institute.
