Yeah, another chapter. I'm still way lazy on fixing my Hellboy fic so that'll happen eventually, but I hope you enjoy this fic just the same.

Disclaimer: I don't own X-Men but I own Serah.


Serah

I wasn't exactly sure what to do with him. So I drug him up into the shelter of the trees. I knew he shouldn't stay in those wet clothes, he'd catch hypothermia. So I forced myself to get him out of those clothes without looking too much. I left his boxers on. He would have to deal with wet underwear.

I put him on the thick blanket I had and turned over one side so he was covered. Satisfied I started trying to build some sort of, I dunno, den? Hut? What on earth could I do to make sure we didn't get rained on. It was still cold out, even though spring was on it's way.

I started constuction. I have to tell you, it DID NOT GO WELL. By the time I had a single wall, there were mutiple cuts and splinters on my hands. I shoved another wall in between two trees. There was a small cluster where I was trying to build it, so it was being made into a kind of pentagon shape. After I had a few walls, I left an open space so I could get in and out. Taking a seat near the guy I took a breather. God, I had watched those nature shows where they build little huts in the woods, but it was ALOT harder then they made it look. And i'm not very coordinated so I had cuts all over my hands and stuff. That knife had come in handy. I looked at the guy. "You owe me." I muttered grumpily.

Idrug him into the hut-ish thing and made a quickie roof with alot of twigs, reeds, and leaves. Hopefully it was stable enough not to crash in on us and kill us.

I dressed him in some of my clothes. Luckily, my fashion sense has never been one for low-riders and tight t-shirts. I like regular cut baggy jeans and loose shirts, so they fit him fine. I was suddenly very hungry. Poking around in my bag I noted I had only one loaf of bread left. Grumbling, I moved over to the river. Taking off my shoes and rolling up my pants I waded into the clear icy water.

Standing there, I felt so stupid. I crouched, waiting, when a fish swam and stopped to nibble my toe, I shot my hand out, grabbing it. He wriggled in my grasp, but I flung it onto shore. it was reasonable size. Maybe half a foot long and two inches wide. Happy with my catch i carried it back over to the camp and tried to start a fire.

Oh, by the way, starting a fire is hard too.

Anyway, by the time the fire was started and hot enough to cook anything it was dark out. Using the knife, I badly skinned the fish and gut it, Then I placed it over the fire on a stick. After a while, I was dying of hunger, so I figured it was cooked enough and I chowed down. Truthfully, it was pretty good. Course, pesticide infested fish is bound to be good when your so hungry you could eat a cow. oh, Cow... I could go for a burger.

After my quick fish dinner, I leaned against the tree that showed in the side of the hut and warmed by the fire, which I had read once you should keep burning, then of course I remember thats only if you want to be found so I made it smaller until there was a warm glow over me and flickering on the guy. I watched him for some time, him just laying there and me staring like some hood ornament.

He's like me. He's green. He's a mutant. The thoughts buzzed through my mind. What'll happen when he wakes up? If he wakes up. What is he thinking? Does he know somewhere I can go?

All these questions, and not a single answer. But when he woke up i'd get my answers.

Mort!

I felt myself gettin' moved around. I though' maybe somebody got me undressed then dressed again bu' I wasn' sure. I couldn' open my eyes. I was real tired from tha' swim down the frigid river. Damned weather bitch! If I ever get back I swear, i'll kill 'er.

I wondered abou' tha' girl I saw. Before, by the river. Was it 'er moving me around? I didn' know. I'd be sure to thank her when I woke up. Yeah, not my style, but hey, I DO have some manners.


Not very interesting. But it's telling how there doing after the first chap. I felt it was needed. Enjoy ppls...
