Chapter Seven: Stowaway or Friend?

"Logan..." Faith sighed as she sank into her seat. He glanced at her but didn't reply, what could he say... "Sorry, but it's your fault you wanted to come with me." Yeah; she'd probably kill him for that.

The both sat in silence as Logan drove for a while, but he kept hearing sounds coming from the back so he pulled over.

"What's wrong...?" She asked glancing up as he stepped out of the car. When he didn't answer she followed of course... he should have figured she would.

-----------------------

Logan glared at the girl who'd hid in the boat at the back of the truck. "What the hell do you think you're doin'?" He knew she was the girl from earlier, which was surprising............. that she wasn't.....terrified of him.

"Sorry, I needed a ride... Thought you might help me..."

"Get out." Faith frowned hearing Logan say that, they could just drive her to another town... but she waited and didn't speak.

The girl lifted her small bag and jumped down. "Where am I 'sposed to go?"

"I don't know." Logan said head back to the car. Faith also went back and got in; they were close enough now that she could hear them from inside.

The girl was following him. "You don't know of you don't care?"

"Pick one."

"I saved your life." Faith smiled slightly at the girl's tone, very few people would talk to Logan that way after seeing what she'd seen back at the bar.

"No you didn't." He said slamming the door and starting the car again, unfortunately he was met with Faith's icy glare, and a small amount of guilt at leaving the girl.

He groaned and stopped the car, Faith smiled and got in the back, as there were no other seats; and Logan wouldn't want the girl back there.

"Hello." Faith smiled at the girl. The girl nodded and sat down, glancing around slightly.

"You don't have anything to eat do you?"

"There should be something in there." Faith said pointing to the glove compartment. Logan rolled his eyes and took out a snack bar handing it to the girl... He didn't like how happy Faith was (especially since it was because she'd won)

The girl ate quickly clearly grateful for the food. "I'm Rogue." She said turning to Logan then to Faith.

"Faith." Faith replied; both of them glanced at Logan expectantly but he simply glared at the road.

Rogue, was clearly not sure what to say, but she noticed the dog tags around Logan's neck. "Were you in the army? Doesn-doesn't that mean you were in the army?"

Logan glanced at her and shoved the tags under his shirt.

Faith shook her head.

Rogue still unsure of herself glanced at the back; seeing the mess (mostly Logan's things with a few of Faith's thrown in) "Wow."

"What?" Logan glanced back.

"Suddenly my life doesn't look so bad."

"Hey, if you prefer the road."

"No, it looks great." She turned away from Logan. "It looks cozy." Faith snickered slightly, as that was one of the last things it looked... and one of the words you don't associate with Logan.

"Sure... it does." She said smirked at Logan's glare, knowing he wouldn't argue with her... this time.

Rogue was shivering now. Faith frowning nudged Logan motioning to the her.

He sighed and turned the heat on reaching over to the girl. "Put your hands on the heater." Rogue pulled away just before he touched her.

"He won't hurt you you know." Faith said trying to reasure the girl.

"It's not that... it's just when people touch my skin something happens."

"Like what?" Logan said, showing slight interest.

"I don't know. They just get hurt."

"Fair enough." Logan replied, Faith simply stayed quiet, this was something she knew Logan understood better than she did.

Rogue was clearly uncomfortable now, and looked around for something to change the subject; spotting one thing that... all three should have known would come up she asked. "When they come out... does it hurt?"

Logan had only heard that question once before, from Faith. "Every time." He felt Faith place her hand on his shoulder, she understood; after all she was the only person he could remember living with (well the last few years) and like him she had nightmares about the past she didn't remember.

It was quiet for a few moments; and surprisingly Logan broke it. "So what kind of a name is Rogue?"

"I don't know what kind of a name is Wolverine?"

"My Name's Logan."

"Marie."

"You know you really should put on your seatbelt."

"He never listens to tha-"

The car jolted and Logan smashed though the windshield.

"Logan!" Faith yelled out teleporting from the car, temporally forgetting about Rogue. She landed several feet from Logan and fell to her knees out of breath; she'd teleported unconsciously and used up too much energy; Logan was fine though and stood up the cut on his forehead already healing he pulled Faith up helping her stand, before they both turned to Rogue.

"You alright?" Faith yelled.

Rogue looked terrified and was staring at Logan. Faith glanced up at him and understood seeing him heal for the first time, could be shocking; Logan on the other hand was oblivious. "Kid are you alright?"

"I'm stuck!" Faith had regained enough energy to walk headed over to the car.

Logan was following first but stopped went a scent came to his attention. His unsheathed his claws, and looked around for anything.

Logan was thrown against the trees by a man; Faith couldn't see his face, and was focused on getting Rogue out of the truck; which was now on fire.

Logan landed on the hood of the truck now unconscious; his attacker heading towards the three. Faith and Rogue pulled at the seat neither could fight him off if he got to them.

The wind picked up and a red light blasted him away from them. A woman and a man came freeing Rouge from her seat and helping Faith get the unconscious Logan away from the truck just as it exploded in to flames.

Truthfully I don't really like this chapter; it was difficult to add Faith in that scene... but hopfully it'll get better later on. I'd like opinions, if you want to give them
