Chapter Six: Feelings. And Beginning of.......
The first few months were mostly arguing... but soon enough they fell in to an adjusted routine: They never fought in the same town (to keep from fighting each other) And when Logan decided he was going to bring a "friend" back to the hotel; well; Faith stayed in the truck.
Logan often teased her about her embarrassment; of course he ended up with (whatever happened to be closest at the time) flying at his head. In reality she wasn't embarrassed she had at first stayed in the next room... but hearing some whore calling out
Logan's name.... wasn't exactly what she wanted to hear when she was trying to sleep.
What only made it worse was somewhere along the way she began to care for him...
Living alone for 8 years with no memory and unable to age both of them had taught themselves not to grow attached to people; but Faith had failed... she had grown too attached to Logan. She loved for Wolverine! He of course had no idea, and it wasn't as though anyone could tell him. So she just lived with it, knowing perfectly well what went on when she slept out in the car.
---------------
What Faith didn't know was Logan had also grown in his own way attached to her, now she did notice this to some extent... at least more than he noticed it about her: he was very protective when they went to more dangerous places, and when the Wolverine side of him came out, he made it very clear to the male population not to go near her.
She wasn't afraid of him though, and he'd never hurt her... though Logan checked every time.
Now while Faith admitted she loved Logan; He would never admit that... he continued having one-night-stands with girls; and refused to believe there was anything more than friendship... as he had no one else he figured that should be enough, and it never would need to go further, but he was wrong... about both.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Logan glanced at Faith; she'd fallen asleep on the way, normally he'd find a hotel and put her in a room, but here in Lachlan city; (which consisted of a bar and half a mile away a few houses and stores) there wasn't that option.
Logan normally would have dumped some water on her; but it was winter... and he really didn't feel like pissing her off.
"Faith; Hey, Faith wake up!" He said shaking her slightly. She groaned and opened her eyes glaring at him. "We're here..." He said slowly opening the door and backing out to avoid any flying objects.
Sure enough an empty soda can crashed against the window just as he closed the door. He knew this would happen... it was the same way when she woke him... but he couldn't leave her alone; she couldn't protect herself when she was tired.
After a few moments a grouchy and only half-awake Faith emerged from the truck and followed him in to the bar.
-----------------------------------------------
Faith who was now fully awake (not that anyone could sleep with the yelling) watched as Logan's last opponent was dragged out of the ring, she shook her head, they'd come here several times before and Logan beating all the 'champions' made him less than popular... also it was obvious to her that the announcer was afraid of him.
The new opponent was a large man... taller than Logan by several inches (which was saying something) Faith glanced up at Logan who was leaning against the bars just diagonal from her. She could see he was tired... but he nodded nodded slightly to her; just before getting kicked in the back.
Faith knew he was fine... but seeing him on the ground... she moved to in front of him; just in time to see his eyes darken slightly showing that Wolverine now had some control.
It took less than a minute for the fight to be over; and for Logan to regain full control. Faith allowed herself to relax before heading over to the cage doors.
"Good fight?"
Logan grunted and turned to her. "Not even challenging." He replied cracking his neck from habit.
Faith smirked slightly; "Really now? Cause I was worried it might have been hard on you..." She loved to tease him, but he picked up on it and just glared at her.
---------------------------------------
About fifteen minute later after Logan had changed; the two went to sit at the bar. Faith already had a beer, and Logan was fine with his cigar.
'More News on the growing mutant phenomenon...' Both Faith and Logan glanced up at the TV; Faith could feel Logan tensing next to her... but what she was noticing was a young girl glancing at them... well at him.
Faith frowned slightly but pretty much forgot when she heard the men behind them.
Turning slightly she saw it was the last man Logan had fought... whining about his money.
Logan was completely calm...that was mostly because they were smart enough to leave Faith out of the picture. Although he saw her hold her breath when the man whispered to him.
"I know what you are."
Logan didn't give a shit who knew what he was. As long as they didn't tie Faith in to it... and didn't try anything.
"You lost your money, You keep this up you'll loose something else." He was threatening... but he was so far still calm-
"LOOK OUT!" The girl near by yelled.
And control was out the window, Logan's claws had come out by instinct, and he growled at the fearful man against the pole. Faith was staring in fear when the bar owner put a gun to Logan's head.
Logan seemed to calm himself slightly before turning and slicing the man's gun in half. Seeing this couldn't end well, Faith stood and placed her hand one Logan's shoulder. He turned his head glancing at her hand, and his claw retracted and he stalked out Faith following behind.

The beginning of the first movie... if you didn't realize that... which I hope you did.
