Logan Meets His Match

Elizabeth looked at herself in the mirror hanging on her closet. She smirked, as she examined herself in the mirror. She was fully covered in her black ninja uniform. She combed her long black hair back, and wrapped it into a tight bun. "I love my action!" She said to herself.

She wrapped her hair tie to secure the bun of hair on her head. She pulled her mask over her head, and secured the tie around her neck. She looked in her bag, and grabbed her katana sword handle. She secured it in her belt behind her. She opened her window, and quietly jumped out the window. She landed on her feet, squatting to break her fall. She quickly looked around, and ran towards the back area.

Logan's ears twitched, as he heard the faint noise of footsteps from the back area. He looked up from drinking his coffee in the kitchen. He looked out the window. He placed his cup on the table, and ran out the kitchen towards the back area.

Elizabeth looked behind her, as she heard a door close. "As I expected!" She smiled to herself.

She phased in the shadows behind a tree, and waited. She sensed Logan coming close to where she was, and she closed her eyes, and projected an image of herself in her ninja uniform. She projected it to run to the tree across from her. She smiled, as Logan ran after it. She quickly jumped at him, and kicked him in the back. He fell forward, and turned around. He saw the ninja standing above him, waiting.

Elizabeth smiled, as she sensed that Logan still didn't know who she was. He stood up onto his feet, and pushed out both sets of claws. He swiped at her, and she rolled under it, behind him. He turned, and swiped at her again, and she flipped away from him. He ran towards her, and she blocked a swipe. She blocked his other arm, as he attempted to swipe her again. She kicked up at his chin, and bent forward, still holding onto his arms, and threw her leg up, and back at his face, kicking him. She stood up straight, and quickly let go of his arms, to slam her fists into his chest. He stepped back, and looked at her. He growled, as he jumped at her, and she jumped back at him, and kicked him again in the chest. He flew back, and she landed on her feet on the ground. She took out a smoke bomb, and threw it on the ground. The smoke bomb went off, and Logan waved his hand to clear the smoke. He saw nothing. He sniffed the air, and ran towards a tree. Elizabeth phased into the shadows, and quickly projected another image of herself running past him, towards another tree to hide behind. He stopped, and stared at the ninja running past him. "What is this?" Logan snapped.

Suddenly, Elizabeth jumped up, spun around, and kicked him in the face. He fell to the ground. He turned around, and saw the ninja pull out a sword handle, and he saw a blade form at the end. He quickly jumped to his feet, and pounced on the ninja. He heard a familiar laugh from the ninja. His eyes opened with shock, and he quickly pulled the mask up over the face. "Elizabeth!" He yelled, angrily.

Elizabeth laughed. "What do you think you were doing? I could have killed you!" Logan yelled.

Elizabeth stopped laughing, and frowned. She had an angry look in her eyes, as she placed her foot to his stomach, and threw him off of her. He landed on his back, and she quickly flipped up to her feet. She put her guard up, with her sword pointing at him. "Killed me? I don't think so, Logan! As far as I'm concerned, you still need martial arts training! You're rusty!" Elizabeth snapped.

Logan sighed. "Put the knife down, kid."

Logan stood to his feet. He retracted his claws. "It is not a knife, Logan. It's a sword, with a blade that is nothing but the energy of my powers. It can cut through anything at my will, as well as paralyze you permanently, or even kill you!" Elizabeth snapped, not moving.

"What was this all about?" Logan asked.

Elizabeth eased, and dissolved her blade. She placed the handle back into her belt behind her. She sighed, "Logan, I was just trying to give you a challenge. I was trying to surprise you!"

"What are you trying to prove, Elizabeth?" Logan asked.

Elizabeth looked at him, "I was not trying to prove anything! You wanted a challenge, Logan! I could sense it when we argued today!"

Logan stuttered, as he tried to say something back, but couldn't. "Were you trying to say something, Logan?" Elizabeth snapped, raising her eyebrow.

Logan sighed out of frustration. "You're shocked. You've finally met your match!" Elizabeth grinned.

"Stop talking nonsense, kid. You could have gotten hurt!" Logan snapped.

Elizabeth walked towards him, "Logan, really. I didn't mean any harm. I've just never met anyone that loves the thrill of combat as much as I do. And when we argued today, I figured I'd have some fun with you. I wasn't going to hurt you, Logan."

Logan sighed, and looked at her. "I won't tell anyone about this, kid; just don't do it again. Leave the combat to the training and the field." Logan said, before walking back towards the mansion.

Elizabeth stared after him, and smiled. She began to walk towards the mansion as well.

Brian laid on the bench, bench pressing the bar of weights. As he benched the bar down, Elizabeth quickly grabbed the bar, and sat on his chest, holding the bar down. "Hey Bee!" Elizabeth smiled.

"Hey there, Lizard." Brian grinned, as he pushed the bar up effortlessly, with Elizabeth still holding onto the bar.

She laughed as she lifted up with the bar. He placed the bar back onto the rack, and Elizabeth let go, and stood to her feet. Brian sat up, and looked at her. "So, what happened?" Brian asked.

Elizabeth shrugged, and handed him a bottle of water. "Well, he was really mad when he found out it was me. But, we kind of worked everything to an understanding." Elizabeth sighed.

Brian laughed, "Well, I have a feeling that since I refuse to tell the story on why you and I look nothing alike, some members of the team suspect we're up to something."

Elizabeth looked at him, "Are you serious?"

Brian nodded, and drank out of his water bottle. Elizabeth shook her head out of disbelief. "People are so nosey!" She snapped.

Elizabeth walked to the mat area, and slowly let her legs split to the ground. She settled on the ground, with her legs to her sides, as she sat in the splits position. Brian knelt next to her. "Well, I've only told Rogue about us." Elizabeth paused, and looked at him, "I don't know, Brian, but with Rogue, I feel some sort of connection with her; like we've understood each other from the very beginning."

Brian smiled. "Yeah, well, before anything happens to us, I feel we have some explaining to do." He grinned.

"Forget it. If they want to be suspicious of us, then let them. They're the ignorant ones anyway!" Elizabeth snapped.

Brian shrugged, "You're choice, Lizard."

Brian stood up and walked towards the dumbbell rack. He picked one up with each hand, and began pulling them up towards his chest. Elizabeth stretched forward, still in the split position. "Okay, that looks like it hurts!" She heard.

She looked up, and saw Rogue walking into the gym room. She smiled, and sat up. Rogue sat next to her, and began to stretch as well. "Hey Rogue, do you know anything about members of the team becoming suspicious of Brian and I?" Elizabeth asked.

Rogue looked at her, "What do you mean?"

Brian placed the dumbbells on the rack, and walked towards them. He knelt in front of them. "Well, certain people have been bugging me about why Betts and I look nothing alike. And, of course, considering it mainly has to do with Lizard, I feel that she should be the one to explain why. Now, Scott has been suspecting something, and he's saying he's going to keep an eye on us." Brian laughed.

Rogue laughed. "Are you kidding me?" She laughed.

"I know; it's an absolutely atrocious thought that he would even consider that." Elizabeth laughed.

"You guys; don't mind Scott. He's suspicious of every newbie that comes through. We never pay any attention to him. He's a nice guy, but he can sometimes be a dork!" Rogue laughed.

"Don't worry, Rogue, we don't mind. We find it kind of funny, actually." Elizabeth smirked
