Genesis Chapter 7:
Logan jogged out to Agatha's tree. He stood surprised momentarily when he didn't find her. He climbed up and sniffed several times. Agatha's scent was strong. Sabretooth's lingered in the mix. The stench of toxins and motor oil burned his nose as he climbed down.
"Damn! He took her!" he growled to himself.
He ran back inside and headed towards the garage.
"Hey Logan! Did you find her?" called Jubilee as she and the rest of the crew ran up to him.
"No."
"Are you leaving?"
"Yes."
"Can we come?"
"No," he said sternly.
Then he went to the garage and jumped onto his Harley. The engine rumbled to life. He sped out of the garage and onto the road following the stench of his enemy.
/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\
Agatha awoke. The dank room seemed to be spinning and she had a strange taste in her mouth. She sat up and quickly put a hand to her head as her disorientation grew. Her head pounded and her senses were out of control. Ugh, my head is killing me. She took several deep breaths and slightly shook her head. Soon her vision cleared and she saw Sabretooth looming over her. She quickly scooted back and he smirked.
"Real nice job Sabe... So tell me, what drug did you use to keep me out of it so well that I wouldn't morph and heal up?" she asked standing up hoping he couldn't hear the fear in her voice. She looked around the large room. The wooden walls were decorated with only dust. The only light were a few light beams on the roof. She assumed they were in some sort of cabin.
"Chloroform actually. And it's not what I used, it's how much. But you still came out of it real quick," he said snickering.
She growled at him and began to focus on her werewolf transformation; her fangs becoming a little larger and sharper and her nails becoming claw like.
"Feisty little wolf. But I didn't drag yer carcass all the way out here ta kill ya, at first. You're here for answers." He walked towards her and she slightly stepped back. "Now don't be scared. Tell me where those scientists from Weapon X are hidin' and I promise to kill ya quick and clean," he chuckled.
"What the hell are you talking about?" she growled.
He bared his fangs and stepped forward slapping her. She winced as she fell to her knees. He kneeled down and looked at the top of her head.
"Don't play games with me, kid."
"I wasn't playing!" she said lunging forward fist first. Her fist collided with Sabretooth's nose, shattering it.
"Argh! Damned wolf! Broke my nose!" One hand went over his bleeding nose, the other around her neck. He lifted her up and drew her closer to him. She tried to pull free but his grip was too strong, and her features went back to normal as her concentration diminished because of the lack of oxygen. "Now then girly, I think you'd better answer me 'fore I really get mad," he snarled.
"Your…breath…stinks," she spat at him through his choking grasp.
"Talk or I break yer neck!"
"I… don't… don't know… what yer… talkin' bout," she muttered, terrified for her life.
"Stubborn little cuss aint ya!" He tightened his grip on her neck.
Suddenly a motorcycle burst through the wall behind it. Logan jumped off his bike and landed, claws extended.
"Get yer filthy claws off a her Creed!"
Sabretooth chuckled deeply. "And if I don't, runt?"
"I'll make ya wish ya had!" He prepared to lunge but the wall across from Logan burst into a million splinters as a magnetic pulse went through the air. In its place stood Magneto and the others that had been in the base.
Magneto glared angrily at Sabretooth.
"Sabretooth! What do you think you're doing?"
Sabretooth dropped Agatha angrily and she scooted to Logan's side coughing. He sheathed the claws on his hand closest to her, so she wouldn't get hurt, but kept the hand in a fist as he eyed Magneto warily.
Then the X-Men came into the musty room through the roof. Storm, Jean, and Angel helping the team get down to the floor safely.
"Wolverine! What is going on?" asked the Professor.
"Look Chuck this wasn't my idea," answered Wolverine.
"Sabretooth dragged me here, for some stupid Weapon X garbage," said Agatha.
"That's because you're a link to them!" snarled Sabretooth. "I'm gonna get my claws on those bastards before…"
"She isn't a link Creed!" said Logan interrupting him.
"Somethin' wrong with yer nose runt? She smells…"
"Like us, like you. I know, but it's not because of Weapon X."
"What?" he snarled.
The Professor continued where Logan had left off. "You and Agatha are distant blood relatives. But your DNA is so similar that you could very well be siblings if not for the impossible age difference. Your age Sabretooth is a mystery but you've been around for a while. Perhaps almost a century, while Agatha is only 16."
"It's hard to believe Creed, but you two are related," said Logan.
Sabretooth was speechless; his eyes wide and jaw slack. Agatha was no better off.
"You knew?" she asked Wolverine when she finally forced herself to speak, facing him.
"Yes," he said without looking at her
"And you didn't tell me! Logan how could you keep something like that from me?"
"I- I'm sorry kid. I thought you would be safer if you didn't know, but I was wrong. Not knowing really put you in danger. I should have told you."
"Damn right! How can I trust you if you keep things like that from me?" she said angrily.
Logan snorted and looked at the Professor. "Someone else should learn the same fact."
Agatha looked at him confused. "Huh? What do you mean?"
"Ask Chuck."
Agatha and the rest of the X-Men turned to face him.
"What does he mean Charles?" asked Ororo.
"He means that I've been working with Erik." All of the X-Men were shocked, except Jean and Logan who already knew of his dealings with Magneto. "I know that you are confused, but it would be best if we discussed this back at the mansion. Erik can you get to the mansion on your own or will you be coming with us?"
"I am perfectly capable of going on my own. The rest of you head back to the base," he told his team. Then he turned on his heels and left.
The rest of them west outside. Sabretooth went to his motorcycle, and Logan looked back at Agatha. She was still upset with him for hiding something so important from her. She looked away. He felt a bit guilty but decided not to linger on it as he went to his motorcycle. The rest of the team went to the jet. Agatha frowned. She knew she really couldn't blame Logan, since he was only trying to protect her, but it still hurt her to know that he kept secrets from her, especially about her own past. At the same time she was curious as to know what else Logan had found out about her, things she might not even know. She walked up to him.
"Hey… um… Mind if I go with you?" she asked a little embarrassed.
Logan looked back at her a little surprised but smiled a bit and said, "No."
"Agatha what are you doing?" asked Cyclops.
Ugh not again. Why is he always sticking his nose in my business?
"I want to go to with Logan. I like fresh air rather than jet plane air."
"Look I know he lets you drive his Jeep, and you're close, but the way he drives that bike I don't think it's safe for you to go."
"I'm tired of people making my decisions for me because they worry about my safety! Logan isn't going to do anything that's going to hurt me, and besides you have to let me make my own mistakes."
"I understand that, but I'm not willing to put your life on the line when you can easily get on the jet."
"Ugh fine!" she said throwing her hands in the air and walking back.
But Logan took off his helmet and plopped it on her head stopping her.
"She's wearing a helmet slim. She'll be fine."
Scott scowled at Logan but turned and walked into the jet closing the hatch.
"Thanks Wolvie."
"Don't mention it."
Sabretooth had just left, leaving a trail of smoke and dust in his wake. Agatha watched him drive off as she placed the helmet properly on her head. Logan lit a cigar and started the bike. She sat behind him and put her arms around his waist. She could feel color rushing to her face as she slightly felt his abdominals.
"You ready?" he asked.
"Yup," she said putting her chin on his shoulder.
She could feel his tense muscles and she saw his clenched jaw. She heard the roaring of the engine as the Harley sped towards the mansion. The wind whipped through their hair making it thrash wildly.
"Logan."
"Yeah?" he said gruffly.
"Are you mad at Sabretooth?" she had really wanted to ask how he'd discovered that she and Sabretooth were related when even she wasn't aware, but better to let him vent out his anger first than to have it explode on them later.
"No. Not really. He was just trying to get to those bastards. I don't blame him. When we first met I smelled him on you, or that's what I thought. But thinking that Creed didn't have any family, I took you back to the mansion to find out why you smelled like him. Then when we fought in the danger-room for the first time on a full moon and you turned into a werewolf I really thought you were his clone. I asked Chuck and after runnin a couple'a tests he told me you were related. It was my decision not to tell you. I shouldn't have hidden it from you."
She nodded. Wow, over a year ago and I didn't even realize it. And Logan got this close to me, were like best friends and I'm his worst enemies sister-relative thing. I would have for sure thought he would hate me.
"So you're not mad at Sabretooth, but you're still mad. Is it because of the Professor?"
He stopped the bike at a stoplight, grabbed his cigar and exhaled a long cloud of smoke.
"Yeah. He set me up, and because of that you almost got killed."
The light turned green, he put the cigar back in his mouth and drove off. The rest of the voyage was in silence.
Agatha felt cold fear creep into her heart as they reached the gates to the institute. Logan drove into the mansion's garage. He parked and got off. Agatha did the same and took off the helmet.
"So where do I put this?" she asked tossing the helmet up and down.
"Just drop it on the bike. I'll take it up to my room later."
"Kay." She dropped it on the seat.
They walked to the mission room. The Professor, Magneto, Jean, Scott, Beast, Storm, Emma, and Sabretooth waited for them to enter. Logan sat in the only chair left in the room and Agatha sat on the floor in front of him. Sabretooth stood behind them leaning on the wall.
"Alright Chuck spill it. Why'd ya set me up? What is it I won't understand?"
"The government has come up with a way to eliminate mutants. It is a virus that they have developed. It will kill a mutant in a matter of hours. All mutant kind will be eliminated in a few days, maybe weeks. Thanks to Henry's research on the virus we know that the only mutants to survive this virus are ones with a healing factor."
"Meaning me and Creed," muttered Logan.
"Precisely."
"Wait a sec. I've got healing powers too. I can heal it off by morphing."
"Yes but you can't stay in werewolf form forever. Even if you do turn in your sleep you would eventually run out of energy and not be able to heal. That is not counting on the fact that your werewolf healing factor can only heal so much. Severe trauma to your body would kill you. It would kill you. We have a small sample of the virus that Erik and his brotherhood managed to… recover from their laboratories. We need to use Logan and Sabretooth's healing factors to be able to create, and extract, the antibodies needed for the virus. The procedure to do so would take their healing factor to make the antivirus, and it will most likely eliminate the healing cells from their bodies. Any of the virus that is still left in them will kill them. And even if they do survive, Logan's adamantium would slowly kill him."
Logan stood up angrily, forgetting that Agatha was in front of him and kicking her slightly. She muttered a small, "Ow." as he walked past her.
"You didn't trust me enough to tell me because I might die! I've risked my life countless times for this team. For the flaming planet! You know I would give my life to save any of the X-Men, they're my family! That's no reason to do what you did," he snarled angrily.
"Relax Wolverine. That is not why he didn't tell you," said Magneto. "Besides the fact that Sabretooth had refused at first, the procedure can only be possible in one place." Logan paled as Magneto spoke the words. "The genesis tanks." Logan fell back into his chair, brushing a hand through his hair and looking down to the floor.
"I couldn't bring myself to tell you. I knew that if you survived the memories that would reemerge would be devastating. Both the mental and physical trauma that occurred in that place could cause havoc on your mind."
Logan said nothing, but Agatha stood up and spoke for him.
"You still should have told him! What do you think he would have done if you had? Run away? Stop you? He's not a coward and he's not evil! He would do anything to save you and the rest of us and you don't even have the courage to trust him. This whole set up has done more harm than good!"
Logan put a hand on her shoulder and she stopped yelling.
"Now that I know what's going on, do I get a choice?"
The room tensed as they awaited Xavier's response.
"Yes."
"What?" said Erik.
Logan smiled smugly at Magneto and sat down in his chair once more thinking of his decision.
"What about Sabretooth?"
Everyone looked at Wolfie confused, especially Sabretooth.
"What do you mean?" asked Beast.
"Did he get a choice too? You said he refused at first. What happened?"
It was Magneto who answered. "He changed his mind for the better."
Agatha frowned. That doesn't sound like something he would do. She looked at him but his face was almost expressionless, yet she could see the glint of jealousy that mixed with his constant rage.
"I'll do it," said Logan. Everyone was shocked at his quick answer.
"The hell you will! Are you crazy?" yelled Agatha, anger and fear creeping into her mind.
He turned looking at her and smiled gently. He put his hands on her shoulders comfortingly as he spoke smoothly. "I've got to do this. Life isn't worth it if you don't risk it for the people you care about."
"Yeah I know but…, it's just…it's just not fair! You're not supposed to die! You're Wolverine," she said feeling the tears in the brims of her eyes.
"It's ok darlin', everything happens for a reason. 'Sides aint no guarantee that I'll kick the bucket," he whispered to her.
"But if you do live then you'll lose your powers, and you'd be haunted by all that weapon x crap!"
"That's not really that different than it is now kid," he said before standing and turning to face Erik and Charles. "I've made my choice."
"You chose the right thing," said Xavier.
Agatha silently snarled as her canines turned into fangs and her rage boiled just out of her control.
"Alright then I'll head back to the Weapon X facility and prepare everything," said Magneto as he began to walk out of the room. He noticed Sabretooth wasn't following and he turned his head. "Sabretooth are you coming?"
He snarled but didn't answer.
"Sabretooth is welcome to stay here and rest until tomorrow, as long as he doesn't cause trouble," offered the Professor as a warning as well.
There were a few angry faces around the X-Men as Sabretooth was not the friendliest person. Psylocke and Angel especially did not agree with the Professor's choice.
"I'll make sure he doesn't," stated Logan and Sabretooth snarled at him but didn't do much more.
"Alright then. I will be back tomorrow." Then Magneto left.
"You know rest sure sounds wonderful," said Beast as he headed out of the room as well.
"Yeah," Logan muttered as he followed Cyclops and Jean out.
Sabretooth grunted as he pushed himself off the wall and walked out. Storm walked by Agatha placing a careful hand on her shoulder, gave her a sweet smile and then walked out of the room followed by Psylocke, Angle and the rest of the team. The only ones remaining were Agatha and Charles. Agatha's fists were clenched and she fought to keep control.
"Agatha, please. Try to understand," he began.
Her eyes darted to him, yellow beginning to creep into the brim of their crystal blue color.
"Understand what? That you use him like a tool," she spat showing her growing fangs. "Logan is a person! Not something you can use and throw away as you see fit! He's a human being! And if you don't see that then you're no better than the people who tried to turn him into a weapon." She squeezed her fists tighter and closed her eyes. She left the room without another word.
The Professor sat in shock to her words, more powerful than he could have imagined.
/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\/\\\
She ran outside frustrated. The blast of cold air that hit her as she burst through the main doors pulled her back from her rage. Her heightened senses becoming instantly aware of all the different smells and sounds of the campus gave her a head ache and she released her tension. Her fangs and claws returned to normal and she exhaled. With the need to get away from everyone and everything she headed towards her tree. She was surprised to see Sabretooth sitting on her branch. She approached quietly trying to decide whether she should turn around and leave or face him. But she couldn't conceal herself from him. He grunted as he slid to the side leaving room for her to join him. Agatha smirked, turned into a cougar, and climbed up next to him. She morphed back and sat beside him, trying to focus on her surroundings instead of the strong rush of fear that ran through her at being so close to him. The only times she had ever been this close to him was when she was trying to kill him or when he was trying to kill her; both times she had been terrified. After a few moments of awkward silence the atmosphere seemed to relax and she became more comfortable around him. Once she felt calmed and situated a strange uncomfortable feeling bubbled up inside her again. The need to say something, to end the gapping silence between them, clawed at her mind. She swallowed and glanced at him, still facing forward.
"…Um…did you…uh…did you really say yes?" she asked tentatively.
His eyes flicked towards her. She slightly flinched back from his unmoving gaze. He looked forward again.
"Don't matter squirt."
"It does matter. No one should be forced to their death," she said softly thinking about the words Logan had spoken to her only moments ago.
"Spare me the speech kid."
"It's not a speech," she muttered out softly, but loud enough so she was sure he had heard her. "I'm just saying that you shouldn't be forced to do something willingly if you aren't willing to do it to begin with."
He looked at her again, this time slightly confused at her concern for him. "Kid after what you said in there, and what you're sayin' ta me, seems like you wanna catch this damn thing. You wanna die girl?" he said ruthlessly.
"No," she said looking at the ground. "But I don't want you to die either. I know we aren't close or anything and I still don't trust you," she said bluntly knowing he didn't really care. "But you're still the only real family I have left."
"Yesterday you wanted to rip my guts out. Why the change?"
"Yesterday I didn't know you were my brother-related thing," she quickly muttered out. Then she smiled. "And the only people taking you down are me and Wolvie. Plus you saved my life; that's got to count for something."
He snorted and looked away, knowing the truth behind his intentions at that moment. Agatha ignored his gesture, caught up in her own thoughts.
"Either way what Magneto and the Professor are doing is wrong. Forcing you to give up your lives for any reason is wrong. I know it comes with the job when it comes down to Wolvie but why do you have to give up your life. You're no superhero."
He snorted again. "Got that right kid."
"It's just not fair! Why do I have to lose everything? Why do I have to lose the only family I have left to save a million other people I don't know? People that really don't matter to me!" She laughed sadly at herself. "I don't sound much like a hero myself now; just like a selfish little brat," she muttered out closing her eyes to prevent tears from coming down her face.
"Not selfish wolf; human," said a deep voice from under them.
Agatha and Sabretooth both looked down and saw Logan staring up at them. Agatha sniffed and jumped down, landing squarely on her feet in front of him.
"Hey Wolvie, whatcha doin' out here?" she said, her voice resembling that of a young child.
"Just thinkin'." He said smiling at her tenderly.
Sabretooth then jumped down as well.
"So you guys are really going to do it, huh?" she asked them, her eyes pleading them to tell her otherwise.
"Yeah. Not just because Chuck asked me to, but because I want to, so I can protect you guys," Logan said referring to the X-Men.
Agatha nodded sadly. Then she looked at Sabretooth, who still remained expressionless. "What about you Sabretooth? I still think you should choose whether or not to go through with this."
He looked at her briefly. "Might as well do it."
Agatha sighed deeply "Well I guess I can't change your minds."
Logan ruffled her hair and then walked to the mansion, Sabretooth pushed himself off of the tree he was leaning on and followed Logan. Agatha jogged and bit and caught up with them. She looked at them carefully, observing even the slightest movement or gesture, trying to burn it into her memory. Both of them looked glum; their natural strength and pride almost vanished. She couldn't help but feel that this might be the last expression she saw on their faces.
She made sure to walk slowly, wanting to enjoy every second she could, and Logan and Sabretooth didn't seem to mind. They all felt comfortable with the vast scents and sounds of the woods and Agatha began to really think of them all as a family. All so similar yet so different: Logan was wild but controlled and noble; Sabretooth ferocious and unpredictable with a killers mind and instincts; and she was a hyperactive werewolf, both young and innocent. She wanted to get accustomed to the idea of this being her real and permanent family, but she knew she shouldn't; she couldn't, because if she did then she would really lose everything.
Soon, sooner than she'd hoped, they reached the mansion and walked in. Without the scents of the forest to distract her, the thick stench of Logan's cigar clouded her nose as well as the smell of the school.
When they reached the school they walked in and Agatha couldn't help but sigh as she could feel the sun lower in the sky. Soon it would be dark and then it would be over. No more adventures with Wolverine, no more messing with him, or talking to him, being with him. No more time to decide how she felt. Without Wolverine she wasn't even sure if the mansion would feel like home anymore. He was her family, and now he was going to die. She quietly followed them into the kitchen and watched as Logan pulled out a couple of beers from his hidden stash and placed one on the table. Sabretooth grabbed it and popped the cap off with his teeth.
Agatha grimaced a bit and stepped aside as he walked past her. She remembered the day she had found the stash. She had been roaming around the kitchen looking for something to eat, when the bitter scent of the beer hit her nose. She looked for it everywhere and then realized that the fridge had a fake back. Opening it, she found the twelve bottles of beer. Just as she pulled one out, smirking at her success in discovering the Wolverine's clever hiding place, Logan had walked in and caught her. He had yelled at her for snooping around and she had had to promise not to tell anyone about it, and of course she wasn't allowed to have any.
She came back to the present when she noticed Sabretooth walking toward the door.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"Too crowded in here," he said, before walking out the door.
But it's just me and Wolvie in here… I guess he doesn't like either of us… I can't really blame him though, she thought a little hurt.
Then Logan walked out the kitchen.
"You leaving too?"
"Just need some time ta think. Jubilee and the rest of them should be looking for you don't you think?" he said, and then he left.
Agatha sighed. Yeah, yeah… I can take a hint Wolvie… I won't bother you anymore.
She then walked up to her room. As she expected the entire gang was waiting for her there. She could smell them all from outside the door. They didn't know about the Wolverine's fate, they didn't know about her relationship with Sabretooth, they didn't know anything. In fact they were all probably expecting her to come in and tell them what an amazing adventure she'd just had with Wolverine and the rest of the X-Men. She didn't want to be the one to tell them the bad news, but she knew that they would find out later and Kitty and Jubilee would never forgive her for keeping such a secret from them.
Agatha inhaled a deep breath and prepared for what was probably going to be the hardest thing she would ever have to do. Opening the door with a fake smile, she was greeted by expecting faces. She walked in and sat down on one of the bottom bunks, closing the door behind her.
"Sooo, spill Ag! What happened that even the Prof. went to go find you!" said Jubilee, excited.
"Um… well it's kind of a complicated story…"
"Aww come on! Please tell us!" said Kenny.
"Fine. Basically Sabretooth kidnapped me and Logan went to rescue me. But Magneto and his goons showed up too so I guess that's why the rest of the team came."
"Oh wow. So Sabretooth came after you? Why?" asked Kitty.
"Who cares! That guy's a monster," said Marrow.
"Gud thing the team went for ya. What else happened?" asked Sam.
"Well um here's the complicated part…. The Professor has been working with Magneto."
"What!" they all said in unison.
"That mission that me and Wolvie went on, well it was all a set up to get Magneto to capture him, which is why the Prof. wanted him to go alone. If I hadn't of gone it would have worked too."
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Why would The Professor set up Logan?" asked Kitty.
"Because he needs Wolverine to go through some sort of experiment to save mutant kind…" Agatha said, beginning to feel the sadness well up inside her.
"What do you mean?"
"Well the government has come up with some kind of mutant cure, and the only way to come up with an antidote for it is for Wolverine and Sabretooth to go through this experiment to get the antibodies for it. Problem is that its tomorrow and that it's going to kill them…"
"What! No! Wolvie can't possibly die!" Jubilee yelled.
Kitty looked pale and in shock. She couldn't believe Logan was going to die. He had always been there for her, from when she first joined the X-Men to when Ogun had almost stolen her soul and she became Shadowcat. He was such an important part of her life and she couldn't imagine a life without him.
"I know it's really hard to take in but…." Wolfie couldn't finish her sentence; she bit her lip and held back tears.
"It's not fair…. Why does Wolvie have to die? Isn't Sabretooth enough?" Jubilee muttered into her pillow. She couldn't help feeling overwhelmed. Wolverine meant everything to her. He was just like her big brother. She remembered when she had first seen him, beaten, bruised, bleeding, and crucified by Donald Pierce. She remembered all the adventures she had with him, she remembered being there when Mariko died. He was her family, and she wasn't ready to lose him.
"Yeah that guy's a creep and a monster no one would give a damn if he kicked the bucket," said Marrow crossing her arms and looking away. She didn't want to show her feelings to the rest of the group. Even though it didn't seem like it, she did care about Wolverine.
Sam had his jaw dangling, he couldn't believe it either. Wolverine had always been a mentor to him, and he couldn't believe that he was just going to vanish. No more training sessions, no more fun adventures. No more bike races. He sighed deeply.
Kenny also began feeling bad. Out of everyone in the entire group he was the one that had never truly warmed up to Wolverine. It wasn't that he didn't like him, but he was afraid of him, and he had no idea what the girls in the group saw in him. He was mean, rude, gruff, selfish, and always pissed off. But besides all of those things he was going to miss seeing him around school.
Looking around he saw Agatha. Instead of looking depressed and upset like he had expected, she was looking down at the floor in semi shock.
"What's wrong Agatha? Didn't you already know about this? You are the one who told us."
"I-it's just that…. What Marrow said about Sabretooth…. it's true… he is a monster…." she answered, trembling a bit.
"Yeah? So?" said Marrow.
"Well…, there's something else I didn't tell you guys."
"What?" asked Kitty.
"It's that Sabretooth; he's my brother…"
Shocked faces filled the room as they all stared at Agatha in disbelief.
"What are you saying!" said Sam.
"Well not brother brother like from the same parents, but we are related, and our DNA is close enough that I might as well be his sister."
"No way!" said Kenny.
"And what Marrow said about Sabretooth just hit me. It's true, no one cares if he lives or dies because he's nothing more than a monster. A beast. But the worst part of it all is that…. Well that I'm just like him!" she sputtered out between tears and small sobs.
"How can you say that?" asked Kitty.
"We have similar powers. And I've got an uncontrollable beast inside me just like him. And when I let loose and fight to my fullest potential in werewolf form, I smell just like him. At first when I smelled it back in the forest I didn't think anything of it. I kind of just ignored it, saying it must have been a mistake I made. How could I smell like him… but now I know why…"
"That doesn't mean anything, Agatha."
"Of course it does! Scents don't lie! I'm just like him when I lose control."
"Maybe, but he doesn't lose control Agatha. He chooses to be evil, and to hurt people you don't. You are nothing like him Agatha."
"But I am. A lot. Each time I transform it gets harder and harder to stay in control, and even more difficult to turn back. Wolvie said that I would be getting more control over it, but every time I turn it seems like I lose my grasp on it even more. I don't want to end up like Sabretooth, but I've got a deep rooted feeling that it's going to happen," she said worried.
Kitty quickly changed the upsetting subject.
"Agatha you aren't Sabretooth and that's that! Now this is our last night with Logan so I say we go and spend it with him!"
"Yeah!" said Jubilee.
Agatha smiled, whipped away her tears and nodded.
"We could take Wolvie out for dinner. There's a Stake House nearby, do you think he'd like it?" suggested Kitty.
"Yeah definitely," said Jubilee
"Well you can count me out, dinner with and angry Wolverine does not sound like fun," said Kenny scratching the back of his head.
"You sure. You don't have to bail if you don't want to," said Agatha.
"No trust me, I'd rather not go."
"I'm out too," said Marrow.
"Aw why?"
"Dinner isn't my sort of thing. I'll hang with Gambit and Rouge tonight."
"Fine. Anyone else not coming?"
"Ah think ah'm gonna say g'bye ta Logan in mah own way. 'Sides it'll be more fun with just yall anyways," said Sam.
"Are you sure?" said Kitty.
"Yeah."
"Alright we'll it's just us three then. We're going to have to pull our money together so we can pay for dinner," Kitty commented.
The three girls pulled out their wallets and left the room in search for the Wolverine.

OK so after an eternity of waiting there we have it. Chapter 7. One thing I would like to comment, being a huge comic fan, I know that this fic could not possibly take place during the timeline of the comics. I don't think any of these characters were ever together at the same time with the X-Men (not to mention Kitty and Jubilee join other teams) A lot of the events in the comics occurred in this fic's timeline but probably not in chronological order and what not, but for the sake of writing bear with me. Let's just pretend that this is all possible kay Thanks so much for reading I really appreciate any readers who are still with me. R&R (all reviews are welcome. I'm even willing to take flames at this point just cuz I luv reviews lol but flames don't really make me happy :P )
