AN: Chapter 13 is up and hope you enjoy. Please R&R. Thanks to all those who have reviewed in the past. I am sorry its has taken me awhile to continue with this story.

"So just who are you?" The petite ebony haired girl asked while drinking some tea she had made, letting its smooth and hot liquid try to relax her tense body at what had transpired the night before.

Both had been too drained of the overload of memories and had only just made it back to her apartment. The last thing both remembered was holding on to each other before emerged into the immensity of slumber.

The girl had awoken with the sun that morning, feeling like she had been through hell and back. She consciously felt something heavy across her waist and as her eyes opened, came face to face with her dream…or nightmare she couldn't tell which at the time.

Suddenly all the previous night's event came to her in a flood, talking with Khris and Richard, getting up and meeting the one person whom she never thought she would see in this life…. then her memories…well memories of another place and time.

Logan looked up from his coffee and sighed. "Logan." he mumbled. "You?"

She looked back into her tea seeing her reflection stare back at her. What a dumb question! She thought inwardly. Who else could he be? After the nightmares and the dreams from another life he could only be one person and that was her wolverine.

"My full name is Renata Olivia Emerson."

"As in Emerson Biogenetics?" He quirked his eyebrow, in which made Renata cough up her tea. Yup, that was a typical Logan expression. She still couldn't believe that he was here in the flesh after believing for years he was nothing more then a figment of her over zealous imagination. She could tell by his posture and movement he made drinking his coffee that he was having a hard time talking to her, wanting to ask her millions of questions yet not being able to hardly utter one word. She felt the same.

"Yes." Was all she said.

"Roe." He faintly whispered. "How is this possible?"

She looked at him and he looked at her. Many minutes passed as each drank in the other as if fearing the other would disappear forever and they would have to wake from their dream and have to face the lonely world without them.

Shaking her head she said, "I don't know but I never thought my dream would come to life? Does it matter right now? I know it should because this is impossible but I don't care right now. All that matters is that the fates have given us another chance."

Logan put his coffee down and went over to her. Staring at her chocolate eyes, some internal feral behaviour made him growl and take her into his arms as to protect her.

"I swear Roe that nothin' n nobody will take you from me again." His voice said somewhat marbled as his face hid into the quirk of her neck taking in her scent as her long ebony locks covered him head like a veil.

"Logan…I need some air, love." She almost choked as his arms were around her tightly as if afraid that at any moment she would disappear.

Hearing a soft chuck from beneath her hair, the wolverine slowly loosened his hold on her, but still not letting go. He brought up his head from the crook of her shoulder and gazed down at the dark haired angel before him. She met his gaze and blushed ever so slightly as she saw that familiar spark in his eyes and the posture of his body next to hers. The animal within was aroused.

She pushed him away slightly, knowing the really needed to talk. As she withdrew, she could tell that Logan wasn't happy with that, but before he could wrap her back into his hold, she lifted her arm and placed her hand on his bare chest.

"I love you Logan. However I think it would be wise for us to start fresh. I don't know how this is possible like you said, however we couldn't where we left off. I have a different life now then I did. As you must have as well." She stated as she turned around and walked over to the glass windows that overlooked the city from her pent house apartment.

Logan sighed as he sat on the couch, running an agitated hand through is hair. "I have no life. I remember my year with you when we met up until those last dreadful minutes. From there until the time about 10 to 15 years ago are a complete blank to me. Sometimes I get these flashes but nothing solid. The last year or so I have been teaching at a school for the gifted in upstate New York."

Ren turned around with a staggered look on her face. "We met over 50 years ago. You telling me you have been alive all that time!"

Logan smiled cunningly, "I don't look too shabby for an 80 year old." He chuckled slightly.

The ebony haired girl shook her head in dismay. "You haven't changes one bit. I remember my year with you as well, nothing before or after. I just remember someone… but that is it." She trailed off in thought.

"You said upstate New York. So you mean the mutant school. Headed by Charles Xavier?" she inquired.

Nodding his head he looked at her expectantly and waited. "I do my fair share of donations to that school, secretly of course. Besides you can't be where I am without knowing things, especially in biogenetics. I take it you have the gene as well?"

"Yes. Healing abilities." He only said "Does that bother you?" only slightly worries about what her answer would be.

Cocking her head to one side she smiled lovingly. "Wolverine, I also know you have more than healing abilities, extra sensory, strength and animal instinct. Or so you mentioned to me every time we went undercover." At his nod she continued, "Use your nose what do you sense."

He did as she said. Besides her female aroma that was making the animal in him very aroused and mating instinct driving him wild, he remained somewhat in control, looking or trying to sense something more. Then he had it. One of his abilities he found out by being with the X-men was that he could sense mutants and non-mutants.

"My god you are a mutant." He looked stunned.

To be continued.
