LEM: I know just as well as you do where I'm going with this. Hope I figure it out soon.
A Weaver of Words: This chapter I think shows more of her personality than the last one did, since she acts slightly different around Logan since on a level she knows who he is.
silvergryffin: Mystique and Logan may be a rare couple in fandom, but they do fit well together. Both are homicidal, and Wolverine is a good guy, but closer to being a bad guy than most, just as Mystique is a bad guy, but not completely evil.
a/n: This chapter starts out more general than humor, but oh well.
Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel. If I did, there would be a mutant that made the Green Goblin look mentally stable.
Logan followed the trail of his daughter's scent, only to hear a scream. It was off the trail, indicating that it did not come from his daughter, but his daughter was not in danger, and he may be able to pick up her trail later. Following the scream, Wolverine let his claws slide out slowly. Peeking from behind a tree, he saw two men holding a young girl, who was struggling to get away. Though he did not recognize these men, he did recognize their armbands. FoH………Friends of Humanity.
As one of the men pulled out a gun, Wolverine jumped at him, using his claws to pull away the gun. He punched the other man with his elbow, causing him to grab his nose. He kicked the one who had the gun a couple times, and the girl, who isn't stupid, walked off while the men were distracted. After a few more well placed punches, both men were unconscious.
Logan started to run and caught up to the girl. She hadn't gotten very far.
"So you're a mutant." Logan stated.
"Why would I be a mutant?"
"Why else would the Friends of Humanity be after you?"
The girl looked at him, answering, "Maybe I beat them at a game of tennis, and they are just sore losers."
"Somehow, I doubt that's what happened." He responded.
"Or maybe they saw me repair a building, whose damage was the son of a glitch."
Wolverine looked confused as he said, "Huh?"
So her explanation began, "This dimension has holes, or glitches. Things that happen that, according to something else that happened, could not have. My power is to sometimes sense these glitches, and if I state what they are out loud as I focus, I can erase these glitches. In fact, I sense someone very near but far enough away that you cannot see, whose very life only exists because of a glitch."
Afraid of the answer, Logan asked, "Where is this person?"
She pointed in the direction where the scent trail lead, "That way."

Magneto was tying up what seemed to have been a long lecture as the insane blue furry girl watched him, shoving popcorn into her mouth.
"If you follow me," Magneto stated, "you will never have to fear humans again!"
"Wow! You must really hate humans! Have you ever had a job in customer service?"
"No………wait a minute, how do you know about customer service? I doubt you ever worked in customer service, humans are too bigoted to serve, much less hire someone such as yourself."
She thought, then became confused as she said, "I………I don't know………wait, there was one place, they seemed nice. A city, people were nicer there than everywhere else, and they gave me a job, I think. But why would I have left?"
"I will help you remember, as long as you join me in helping your kind." Magneto offered.
"Hmmm………" she said as she took another bite of popcorn.
"Where did you get that popcorn?"
"The trash." she answered.
"You won't have to eat trash, once you're with me."
"But………that's where all the best food comes from! You wish to steal the deliciousness from me!" she cried.
Magneto blinked. "You can still eat trash, if you want."
The wind blew against her back and she turned, sniffing the wind. "I have to run………I was………sort of playing a game with this person. Seeing if I could run away from him without him tracking me down. I'll give you your answer, if I see you again. I'll have to have time on my own to think about it."
She ran into the distance, and Magneto followed, hiding as he went. If she saw him, she may not wish to join him because he did not respect her wishes, she may decide he's not trustworthy. However, if he watched her, he may be able to affect events without being seen that may work in his favor.
She turned toward Magnetos direction, he froze. She extended her claws from her fingertips which were an impressive………okay not so impressive………three inches long. The short length was probably better, because with how thin her fingers were they might not have been able to support the weight had they been much longer.
She scowled as she growled out the words, "I know your following me, I can smell you. Don't."
'Who was this girl?' Magneto wondered. 'Wolverine?'
