Logan woke to Carmen stirring in his lap. Her now red hair had remained perfect from her slumber. She blushed as she got up and straightened her clothes. Carmen looked out the window and her face turned grim just s a russian voice came over the intercom. "He says we're five minutes out," Carmen told organ as she zipped her jacket and pulled the jacket underneath's hoodie on her head making her red hair cascade down her shoulders.

"It's like 1 a.m.," Logan protested.

"I hope you didn't plan on getting much sleep wolverine," Carmen smirked as she slipped red heels on.

"Don't you think those are a little unreasonable," Logan gestured towards the shoes as he straightened his clothes out.

"You'd be surprised how good a stiletto can trade for a knife," Carmen laughed.

Logan's eyes widened and followed her out the compartment. "We need to get off the train first so those people don't notice what i stole," Carmen said. She slipped into another compartment with a stolen leather backpack he hadn't noticed before and when she came back out she had it stuffed with who knows what.

As soon as the doors opened Carmen stepped out and fake yawned as Logan scratched his head dying to fake exhaustion as they didn't know who was watching. Carmen in sited they took extreme measures. They walked along the road leading to nowhere and nowhere was exactly where they needed to go.

"We could have gotten a cab," Logan grumbled as he walked next to Carmen.

"Do you want to have word around that we are stopping in the middle of no where which just so happens to be the base in which I was experimented on," Carmen snapped back as Logan followed her down the road."

"Don't get all pissy with me," Logan retorted.

She whipped around. "I have a right to be troubled Logan! I have told you almost everything about me and when I try to get you to do the same for me you shut me out! Who is Gene?" she said the last bit more gentle than before.

Logan paled and got stony. "How do you know about her?" he said without emotion. Total poker face. "You talk about her in your sleep. You yell her name and you say your sorry for loving someone else and you say you had no choice." Carmen answered gently but with a fire in her eyes.

"The war you know me from. When people knew me as Wolverine. There was a team," Logan took a deep breath and walked next to Carmen down the dirt and icy road. "There was a school for mutants as you know. No one runs it now. everyone who did is dead, but then the people who ran it had a team called the x-men. I was one of them. There was someone who had lasers for eyes. Someone who could control storms. Someone who was a big blue giant. Two telepathic ones. One of them was Gene. Our biggest enemy was leaded by Magneto and his followers. They wished to rule the world. At the time mutants weren't accepted. They were a "disease"," Logan scowled but continued. A mutant was born and was found as a child. He could get rid of the mutants. You could be stripped of your powers and be human. One of the girls at the school could kill someone by touching them. She got it. A war broke out against us who were protecting the government and the little boy who Magneto and his followers were trying to kill. Gene had gone over to their side. I was in love with her," Logan took a shaky breath. "In the end the rest of the x men were trying to survive and all that was left was Gene. Her hair had grown out she had lost too much weight, her eyes had gone dark from so much power she was exerting from herself. There was a wave of water behind her and she had levitated everything. Whoever got near her, her power stripped them of their life. My skin just kept coming back. I told her that she didn't have to do this. Then the government tried to fire the mutant cure bullets at her and she snapped ready to wipe out the entire island we were fighting on. She asked 'You would die for them' and i said 'no for you' and then i-," Logan breathed through his now trying to stay calm. She was about to kill the entire San Francisco. I- I extended my claws and killed her. Everything fell including me as i held her in my arms and stroked her hair. I promised i would never love again."

Carmen stayed silent. Letting that sink in. She then asked questions about everything except Gene in which Logan was grateful. It went like this for the next two hours and the Logan sensed a car coming. "Carmen get behind that bush now!" Carmen said, shoving her. They dived behind and curled to hide.

A few seconds later a car passed. It was a war jeep loaded with russian men who probably wouldn't appreciate them trespassing into their country. Logan exhaled and realized he was crouched over Carmen who still looked beautiful even though she had a completely different appearance.

The hoodie was still over head even as she layer in the cold dirt with Logan hovering over her. She didn't dare exhale for she would touch Logan's chest. They stared at each other for a minute. Two minutes. Three. Four. The sexual tension was insane.

Finally Carmen couldn't stand it anymore. A burst of crazy courage coursed through her and she pulled Logan down to her face and leaned up kissing him. She ran her fingers through the bottom of his hair on his neck as he duped her neck with one hand and her waist with the other. They kissed until the sun came up. Nothing more than that. Just kissing. Both in bliss and their desire finally Logan pulled away and memorized her face.

The timeless look she always had. Like she could be 20 or 40. Carmen memorized Logan's. Th stubble on his jaw and the point of his hair. His cold eyes suddenly warm. They kissed slowly this time and with less force. As if they all the time in the world. But of course they did.
