The next bathroom and fast food place they passed, Casey got off the highway and Sabretooth followed close behind. By the time he rolled up to the parking lot, Logan was already outside waiting for him. "Just can't get rid of you, can I?" He said, clenching his teeth and fists. "I was thinkin' the same thing, Wolverine," Sabretooth said, taking off his helmet. Inside the van, Casey's eyes widened.
The two old enemies charged at each other and locked up. Muscles straining, and face to face, they grinned. "Thought I'd never find ya," Sabretooth taunted, "Didn't think you'd skip town like a scared little girl after I arranged that little fender bender." Logan froze. "You son of a..." He said, his voice suddenly missing. In an instant, Sabretooth overpowered him, tossing him backwards into a parked car, denting it and setting the alarm off.
Logan roared, popping his claws and attacking. But he wasn't focused, and Sabretooth weathered a few slashes and laid him out easily on the pavement. In a blur, something else was in the battle. "Sic 'im, Champ!" The pit bull went to town on the massive mutant, but Sabretooth flung the dog several yards onto the windshield of another car. BANG!
Sabretooth turned, clutching his stomach. There was Casey, a shotgun trained on the monster. He fired again and blasted Sabretooth in the neck. With a pained cry, he fell to his knees. "You went too far this time," Logan said, back on his feet. "Too far." With that, he drove his claws into Sabretooth's chest. The larger man's eyes widened. "That's called irony, Runt," he said, his voice shaking and barely above a whisper. "Guess who the wheelman was." With that, Logan slashed Sabretooth's throat and face.
"Logan...I didn't know...my God, I'm sorry..." Casey stammered. Logan's jaw dropped. Without reasoning the situation out, he turned and pinned Casey against the side of his van, his neck in between the outer two claws on Logan's right hand. "You bastard, you did it," he said, his voice almost an indistinguishable growl. "I swear I didn't know it was you!" Casey screamed. "I don't even know that guy! He just put out the money and I did it! Like I said, that's what I do!"
"Yeah, well because of what you did, there's a little girl hurt real bad in the hospital back home. Because of you. And I wanna kill you, Case. I'd love to end you right now. 'Cause that's what I DO." Casey swallowed hard. "Logan...please! Look, guilt is tough, especially for guys like you...but don't do this, man...you're not thinkin' straight...!" "SHUT UP!" Logan screamed, pulling his claws back in and releasing Casey.
Both men were breathing hard. A loud noise broke the silence, and they turned to see Sabretooth rev up and ride off. "What the hell...I shot that son of a bitch twice!" Casey exclaimed. "He doesn't die, get used to it," Logan said, his voice back to normal now. "So...gifted, huh?" Casey asked, raising an eyebrow and looking at Logan's hands.
