Can't Stay
I had earned plenty of money for my little trip up north. Out on the highway, a thought occurred to me. Should I go to Laughlin city? Logan might be there, but I don't think that he would be uncomfortable with it as I am. It was where I met him, and I wouldn't know what to do if I found him there, of all places. To many memories there, and I might read to much into it if he was there, or vise versa.
I could get there quickly from both Logan's memories and mine. It would take about four to five days from where I was, which wasn't far from the mansion. I had to hurry if I was going to get there before him, if Logan was even heading that way. I couldn't think of a place where the money was higher this time of year. So after much thinking, about ten seconds, I headed towards Laughlin.

I stopped at a diner in the middle of nowhere, just a few steps from the Rocky Mountains, and two days from Laughlin. I had already been traveling for three days, and decided that it was time to use some of the millions of packets of film I brought. So I was in a corner booth looking at a map of the area. Since it was so close to the mountains, I could stay one day to rest and look at the beauty of the wilderness around me.
In a booth to the left of me, two men sat down and started talking. I started to eavesdrop when I heard the words 'cage fight'.
"So you goin Jeff? It's gonna be really good."
"Don't know Bill, depends on whose fightin."
"I don't know who's fightin. Just be there Wednesday."
I couldn't believe my ears. Two days, I could stay that long and maybe have Logan come to me! I could stay here that long. Tomorrow I was going hiking, Wednesday I could go to the bar early and see if Logan is there. I quickly wadded up my map, paid for my dinner, and went back to my hotel room with a huge smile on my face.

I was pretty tired from hiking all day yesterday. Plus I had a nightmare last night about Jean coming home after defeating the Dark Phoenix and instead of going for Scott like she did when she did come back, went for Logan, and my voice wouldn't work.
I was on edge, and the smoke and dim lighting in the bar calmed me for some reason. Out of the corner of my eye, I watched the cage being put up. Then I got this weird feeling like someone I knew just walked in. I turned around and saw a guy in a leather jacket and broad chest enter the bathroom. I started to get off my stool when I heard a voice from long ago, which I had never wanted to hear again. It gave me chills as I stood fully.
"What's the rush my dear? Can't say hello to an old friend?" I turned and came face to face with yellow eyes.
"Mystique." I said through gritted teeth.
