Chapter Eleven

"I can smell him," Logan said in a dangerously low voice.

I sniffed at the air and all I could smell were trees. Lots and lots of pine trees. The three of us were currently hiding in a forest behind a wall of bushes peeking over at Magneto's "secret" headquarters. Wade copied my action and the both of us shrugged at one another. I couldn't understand Logan's animal-like senses anymore than Wade could. All I knew is that when Logan smelled something it meant it was close.

"I can smell your ass crack," joked Wade. "Smells like a bear."

"Pal, you better shut it with this bear shit or I'm going to really kick your ass."

"But you don't disagree that you smell like ass crack?" he pressed with a giggle. "You're nasty."

"Wade…" I muttered knowing that Logan was ready to snap at the mercenary as his medal claws extended from his fist. The man stared at me through his Deadpool mask and I gave him a warning look. It would not be fun if Logan decided to cut off his head anytime soon and I wouldn't put it past him.

Facing Logan I questioned concerned, "If you can smell him then where is he?"

"Right here."

My back stiffened and the three of us quickly snapped turning our bodies in the opposite direction. He looked much, much different from the last time I had seen him. His dark hair had grown long past his shoulders creating an effect of a lions mane while his beard appeared maybe a few inches longer than before, but still scruffy. The dangerous canines were showing as he snarled at all of us.

His coal eyes squinted resting upon my own golden ones, "Hmm. Never thought I'd see you again."

"I'm surprised you didn't drag me back to Stryker as soon as you broke free," my voice came out cold and distant. Flashes of the last time I had seen him went through my brain. His touch, bites, my screams, the pain…

"I tried," a chuckle erupted deep within his throat. "You weren't easy to track down… It's nice to see you Jimmy."

Logan's shoulders tensed as his hazardous focus averted to him, "Victor."

"Wade, nice of you to join us as well. Still blistered?"

"On the most inappropriate parts of my body," chirped Wade.

"Now… I know you all didn't come searching for me to visit an old friend," Victor condescendingly said adjusting the beige trench coat he wore. His nails visibly grew at his words preparing for the battle that was doomed to commence shortly. "Although, I'll have you know I've changed in these past years."

"Changed?" I choked back a cry. "Change doesn't alter what you did in the past."

"Yeah," Wade agreed as his arm slowly began to reach up for his twin katanas. "You think the Jews forgave Hitler? Nooooo."

"That statement is illogical," frowning at Wade I sighed. "Hitler never claimed to have changed. So, therefore that doesn't make sense."

Wade snorted, "I'm trying to be on your side babe. Don't discredit me!"

"That doesn't even make sense…"

"Shut up," Logan barked interrupting our sidetracked debate. Directing my attention back towards Victor I shook my head as he gave one of his signature smirks. I hated that smirk. "We're out for blood Creed and we aren't leaving here until you're dead."

"Jimmy, Jimmy, Jimmy I thought you knew that I can't die," his voice went dark and his eyes turned to slits. Changed my ass. The evilness reeked off of him like a rotting corpse.

"Everyone dies."

Wade finally dragged out his katanas with a flash and held them out ready to attack at the same time Logan's claws extended with a sickening skin ripping sound. I stayed planted in the spot as I felt the energy boil deep within my pit as the revenge I was about to initiate grew to an unbearable level. He would die tonight. I'd make sure of it.

Like Logan said we wanted blood.

Immediately, Victor turned like a coward and sprinted off into the forest. With a growl Logan instantly darted after him like a speeding bullet. I closed my eyes feeling the air shift around me as I waited patiently for the trees to tell me where Victor was hiding. Funny thing is Victor thought he could escape.

"You okay there Zoie?" Wade's finger poked my shoulder tenderly. "Victor's getting away."

My eyes snapped open with sparkling golden eyes and I smirked, "No he isn't."

And the energy could be felt shaking the earth as the trees swayed ready to tip over at any given moment. Wade shifted closer to me and I shouted at how much energy it took me to have the poisonous spiked vines swallow Victor in a tight hold. The wild man's scream could be heard and I ran in the direction as quick as I could with Wade hot on my tail. I wasn't granted the ability of having superhuman speed as it seemed Wade, Logan, and Victor had. They were so fast.

Another scream pierced the air and as I made my way to where two half-brothers were it would be clear why. Victor was pressed hard against a large pine tree with the deadly vines digging into his skin while Logan repeatedly jammed his claws into Victor's chest, gut, and wherever else he could reach at an accelerated pace. I winced not quite enjoying the sight of his oozing blood seeping through all the holes in his body.

"Logan!" My voice screamed out as I breathlessly went to his side. He ceased his actions, but didn't dare turn his gaze away from the populously bleeding man. The sad thing was, Victor wasn't even close to dying.

In Logan's distracted state, thanks to me, Victor was able to snap out of the tangled vines. The animal lunged towards me and all seemed to still as his claws wrapped around my throat.

Victor let out a cunning laugh as he turned my body towards Logan, "Looks like I got your bitch."

"Actually she's my bitch," Wade snidely responded. If I wasn't in Victor's strangling hold I swear I'd punch him so hard in the face.

"I can smell you both all over her…" Victor sniffed at my neck slowly. With the hand that wasn't trying to rip my neck off he drew his hand underneath my shirt and crawled up my spine creating assaulting Goosebumps. "Zoie, my scent is faint on you now. I guess we'll have to change that."

"Think again kitty cat!"

Victor had to let go of my hold as Wade appeared between us in a gust of smoke. I shrieked as I fell back onto the soiled ground. The two started a bloody duel as Wade swung his katanas and Victor managed to throw in a few deadly scratches.

Logan stumbled into the fight and it looked like one of those cartoon fights. A big gust of dirt surrounded them and there were BOOMS, BANGS, and other dangerous sound effects. Wanting to be apart of it I dug my fingers deep into the ground and with a loud pulse a large Venus Flytrap sprouted from the ground. In less than two seconds the plant snatched Victor's arm immobilizing him from running away.

A sickening sound vibrated through my ears as Wade's sharp sword cut Victor's free hand clean from his body. Slapping a hand against my mouth I gagged repulsed as splatters of blood discarded through the air. Victor screamed once more and for a moment I felt bad. Maybe it was the fact that I was so in tune with the earth and a life-force that someone or something created was being destroyed and not in a natural way either.

"Stop it," I sternly yelled as I scrambled up from the dirt. Wade and Logan, panting, stopped their movements to stare at me. Coming towards Victor I stopped short in front of him giving the seething man a blank stare. "Victor… there's something you should know about me."

The man snickered as I grabbed his chin in my hand drawing our faces closer, "My abilities developed over the past ten years since you raped me. I have since developed the ability to control one's biological makeup. Genetic alterations, body mutations… do you know what that means Victor?"

"It means I'm about to take away your ability to heal."

I grabbed his face in my hands and soon after Victor began to scream. He tried to pull away from me, but Wade and Logan held him in place (as well as the Venus Flytrap). I could feel Victor's life slowly slipping from him as I released his face and fell to the ground spent.

Victor sank to the ground as Wade and Logan released him. In a somewhat ironic way we both flopped in the same position. His dark eyes bore into mine.

"You're going to die," I told him softly.

He laughed, "I've figured that out."

Reaching out my hand I patted his shoulder gently. Wade came up behind me and pulled me to my feet. Holding me against his chest he tugged my body away from Victor's and brought me into a hug. I figured out the reason he was turning me away was because at that moment Logan beheaded the very man who helped destroy us all in one way or another.

This is the last official chapter! All that's left is the epilogue guys /3
