FORGOTTEN MEMORIES

So Ah'm walkin' up ta mah cabin, which Ah notice does have a very nice, new door on it, when someone walks right up behin' meh and says, "Like the door darlin'?"

Yeah, just the person Ah wanna see. What a wonderful night. Might as well turn around and deal with this.

"So yah figure out Ah ain't no kid, huh. Ya the one who fixed this?"

He just raises an eyebrow at meh.

"Well it serves ya right. Ya the one who ruined the last one."

"Well if my memory serves me right, you were the one who sent me through it."

"Sure did and Ah wouldn't second guess mahself ta do it again if'n ya ever lay a hand on meh

again."

"I don't know who you think you are, but I know you're trouble. I can smell it on ya. I will be

watching you so don't even think about trying anything stupid around here."

"Yeah, well Ah guess Ah am trouble since Ah'm probably one of the few people 'round that

aren't afraid of ya, guess that's what ya smellin'. Or maybe ya need ta go take a shower, 'cause

ya'll the one causin' any trouble with meh." As Ah turn around and start walkin' away to go

into mah cabin Ah turn mah hurt and tell him, "If'n ya gonna watch meh, Ah sure hope ya enjoy

the view." over mah shoulder and walk right inta my cabin. Stupid jerk. Why can't he just leave meh alone. Oh well, like Scott said, Ah'll probably have a big day tomorrow so Ah change and head ta bed.

"But Ah still love ya, come back home, come back ta me...please Marie come back."

"Cody Ah'm sorry Ah didn't mean ta, Ah'm sorry. Cody Ah'm so sorry."

"It's ok Marie, everything will be fahne, Ah promise."

"Ah have to go Cody, Ah have to get up."

"Whay, Whay can't you just come home?"

"Ah'm sorry."

Great, not that stupid dream again. Figures, Ah couldn't have one night's sleep without some stupid nightmare. At least it was him instead of one of her. Ah hate it when she comes inta the equation. Sometimes Ah have them of her memories. Don't know what ta make of them. Other times it's her tryin' ta take over mah body. Wait a second, Ah'm not wearin' any clothes. Ah remembe' puttin' them on before Ah went ta bed. Ah open up one eye and...wait this isn't mah cabin. Oh hell, there is somebody in here with meh. Not in the bed but on the other side of the room.

"Sleep good, darlin'?" Oh no. No, no, no. Please tellin' meh Ah'm dreamin'. Wake up, please.

"What happened? Is this ya'll cabin? What's goin' on, and Ah better like the answer!"

"Excuse me?"

Ah get up and rap the sheet around meh attemptin' ta look for mah clothes and look intimidatin' at the same time.

"Answer the question."

"You don't remember? Darlin' you came here. For the life of me I couldn't understand why.

Figured maybe you wanted to appoligize so I let you in. Said you were having bad dreams and

couldn't sleep alone. Even used my name. Don't know who told you, only people close to me

know my name."

"So ya'll tellin' meh nothin' happened?" Please say yes, please say yes, please say yes.

"Now I never said that. You came onto me. What, you got some kinda memory problem, 'cause I

didn't smell any kind of booze or drugs on ya?"

"No! Ah, Ah don't know what happened. So what did happen?"

"What do ya think darlin'. It's kind of obvious."

"No, no it's not. Ya'll can't touch meh. Nobody can touch meh. What happened Wolverine?"

"What are you talkin' about?"

"You said Ah knew your name. What is it? What did Ah call ya last night?"

He started comin' closer towards meh as Ah started ta back up inta the wall.

"Logan, my name is Logan."

"Ya'll tellin' meh ya touched me?"

"We did a whole lotta that last night darlin'. Could do a lot more if ya like?"

That is when he corners me against the wall.

"Don't touch meh! Wolve-Logan. Don't touch meh, it's not safe."

So he takes one step back but he's still in mah personal space.

"Look, ya don't understand, Ah know. Ah don't either. What Ah used on ya last night, those

powers weren't mine. Somethin' happened that don't make no sense. Mah power, mah curse is

mah mutation. Ah can't touch somebody without takin' their memories, life force, and in

mutants their powers. Ah, Ah can control it a lil' but not enough ta do what ya said we did last

night. Ah only remember gettin' changed and goin' ta bed in mah own cabin. Then Ah woke up

from a nightmare in here. Ya understand?"

"No. I know you're not lyin' but what happened. Whose powers you got girl?"

"Ah, Ah have ta go Logan, Ah'm sorry."

Ah turn and grab a mah cloak and jeans and put them on, then grab the rest of mah clothes and head for the door. But he grabs mah wrist. Mah bare wrist. Ah pull out of his grasp as fast as Ah can, but the memories, they are pourin' inta mah head. Especially the ones from last night. He wasn't lyin'. Then there were other images of that red head from earlier, Jean Ah think. Boy there were some impure thoughts there. But then Ah see, oh crap, Ms. Marvel. Him and her had somethin' together, oh no, why didn't Ah see it before. She wasn't lyin', it wasn't a dream. He is so gonna wanna kill meh. Ah run back ta mah cabin tryin' ta hold the tears back.
