Saving Logan: Part 1

We had been walking all day before we decided to stop for the night when we reached a fairly large city. Edward went off to find a hotel while Jasper and I went to get food for Victor and I as Victor went with Emmett to grab some clothes. Once we found a fast food place still open, Jasper went to order while I borrowed his phone to call Alice, "Hey, Lexine!" I chuckled a bit at her enthusiasm before becoming more serious, "Back at ya, pixie. Listen, I need to know how to change my hair and eyes back." She sounded a bit disappointed, but thankfully didn't throw a fit, "Rinse your eyes out with ice cold water. It will probably work best if one of the boys holds the water for a bit and pours it. That way it will be cold. Your hair is going to be interesting. Find some chlorine water and mix it with salt water, then wash your hair in the water a couple times. It will only take three times to get your hair to normal."

I smiled, "Thanks, Alice!" I knew she was smiling as she replied, "No problem! I'll see you soon!" I hung up as Jasper came over with two bags in one hand while he held two cups in the other, "Ready to go?" I nodded and took the cups out of his hands before we walked outside to meet up with the other three boys. We met up with Victor and Emmett first, so we all waited for Edward to show. My brother and I ate quickly while we waited and I was drinking some Mountain Dew when the vamp finally showed, "Come on. I found a room." As I went to walk, I stumbled and Jasper caught my elbow with one hand while his other hand went in front of me to catch me, but I didn't fall, "You okay, Lexi?" My eyes gave a quick, curious glance at Victor when he called me that and I answered with a slight blush, "Yeah, I'm good. Just ready to look normal and sit down."

They all nodded and Jasper released me, but stayed close because I kept stumbling as we walked to the hotel. Eventually, Emmett took the blonde's place because he went to go find some salt water for me since we knew the hotel would have a pool. As Emmett, Edward, and I went up to the room, Victor headed to the pool with our drink cups and I began exploring the room once we reached it. Both men soon returned and I entered the bathroom before turning to look back at all of them, "Jasper? Can you come help me? I need to make sure to get all of it." He smiled, "Sure, darlin'. Edward, start cooling the water." While the bronze-haired man went to do that, Jasper came into the bathroom and we filled the bathtub with all the water.

Leaning over the tub, I practically had to stick my whole head in the water and Jasper was careful as he rubbed the water in my hair with shampoo and conditioner. After three rinses, I was excited to see my dark brown hair back and I wasted no time in going to Edward to have my eyes washed out, "This may sting a little." I smirked, "Come on, Eddie boy. I've been stabbed, shot, and injected with snake venom. Pretty sure I can handle cold water." He chuckled and I held a towel under my head as I tilted my head back to look at the ceiling. I kept my eyes wide open as he poured the water and I actually winced because that did sting more than I expected, "Told you. Alice was creative when it came to dying your eyes."

Seeing as I couldn't speak without getting water and dye in my mouth, I drily thought, No kidding. Thanks for the observation, Captain Obvious. His lips twitched as he tried not to grin, "Anytime, Sergeant Sarcasm." I grumbled inwardly and Edward soon finished, "Okay, your eyes are back to normal." Ignoring the fact I still had soaking wet hair and a wet face, I rushed to a mirror and grinned ecstatically at my brown eyes and brown hair, "Ya know, I never thought I would miss seeing myself in the mirror." They all laughed before I dried my hair and braided it as I took a seat in the corner of the couch. I was too hyper to fall asleep, even as Victor quickly did, and I ended up watching TV with the other three boys for a while. Eventually, I got up and looked out the window while quietly musing to myself. My mood turned dark as I glared out the window when my thoughts turned to Logan and Stryker, "We're going to get him back, Lexine, but you need to rest. You'll be no help without sleep."

I folded my arms while continuing to stare out the window and I could see the worried looks I was receiving as I replied, "There's a war coming and I fear what will happen at the end. Many humans truly wish for mutants to be nonexistent. We're too different, even though we are their flesh and blood. At the end of this war, I don't know what I'll do," I gave a bitter scoff, "I don't even know if I'll live through it." I shook my head as I went to the bedroom and I shut the door. I crawled under the covers and tried to relax, but sleep came eventually. The next morning, I woke up before Victor, so I decided to take a shower and make sure I didn't have any dirt or blood on me from yesterday. Realizing that Victor had bought me clothes yesterday, I wrapped one of the white robes around me and headed to the main room, "Hey, Vic, where's the clothes you got me?"

He threw a bag to me and I caught it before heading back to the bathroom. I changed and let Victor take over the bathroom while I ate the fast food we had saved from last night to reheat today. I chuckled a bit when Victor came out because he was dressed in his normal attire, "What are you laughing at?" Shaking my head, I grinned at him, "You look normal. And your facial hair is growing back. No offense, but you looked like a pompous dweeb in those other clothes." He made a face and turned the TV on to the football game while I took in the vampires' new outfits, "Looks good. So, you four ready to head out?" Victor groaned, but turned the TV back off and stood up while grabbing his new jacket.

We began walking once again and we had traveled until noon when I paused by a larger spot of blood, "Logan must have been getting desperate at this point. These drops are much bigger than the past ones." I crouched and picked some of the bloody dirt in my hand before sniffing it. My brow furrowed in puzzlement as I held my hand towards Victor, who crouched beside me, "Smell this." He did and I saw the same conclusion I had come to reflect in his gaze, "This ain't good." I nodded and we both stood up as I dusted my hand off, "What's wrong with the blood?" I glanced at Emmett before looking down at the blood, "It has a stronger scent of adamantium, which encases his skeleton. His blood always has the scent of it, but not at this strength. This means someone is using a weapon made out of adamantium to cut him. I'm guessing his wound healed that he had been using, so now he's having to use his claws. It puts him more at risk and makes it harder for us because it will be easier to see him leaving a trail by doing that."

All three vampires looked worried and we didn't waste anymore time talking and standing around. We ran through the night and only stopped at daybreak when my knees gave out. I landed on my hands and knees with a small gasp of pain, "Lexi, what's wrong?" I tried to stand, but found Edward forcing me to sit back against a tree as he checked my pulse, my temperature, and my eyes, "I'm fine. Let's keep going." Edward once again forced me to sit back when I tried to stand as he spoke, "Carlisle and I were right. You may heal quicker, but your body is still trying to fully recover from those bullets and the snake venom. I don't know what they used, but it did a lot of internal damage to you before we got it out. You need to rest." I scoffed, "I can't rest! I need to rescue my brother from a deranged pyschopath!"

Edward's gaze snapped to Jasper before nodding, "We're going to go at vampire speed. Jasper is going to take Victor and you're going with Emmett." I tried to protest, but I couldn't as Emmett picked me up bridal-style and took off running. My eyes were wide at the blurs passing us and I had to grin at Emmett's comment, "I hate going human speed. This is much better!" I chuckled as he cheekily smiled before we fell silent. Jasper must have been aiming his power at me because I fell asleep in Emmett's arms. When I woke, I found myself in a random bed and I groaned as I got up while Victor, who was asleep on the other side of the bed, merely shifted, "Ow. Gah, my head hurts." I blearily stumbled my way out of the room to find the three vampires watching TV and I plopped down onto a couch cushion beside Jasper. I pulled my legs to my chest and hugged them as I blinked owlishly, "How long was I out for?"

Edward glanced at a clock before answering, "Roughly 45 hours." My mouth dropped, "What?! We need to go!" Jasper sent calm waves towards me as Emmett retorted, "Relax, we traveled while you slept. We're not far from the end of the trail, so we decided to stop for the night. We were planning on leaving in about two hours." I nodded and grabbed the bag that held another outfit for me before going to the bathroom. I showered and changed as I mentally prepared myself for the fight to come. Looking in the mirror, I couldn't help noticing the empty spot my necklace usually sat and the empty spot where my uniform proudly displayed the X-Men symbol. I sighed before heading out and I didn't bother eating anything, "You need to eat, darlin'." I shook my head, "I'm fine. Not hungry." Once Victor finally dragged his butt out of bed and showered, we began the final trek to Stryker's base and I didn't speak as my mood turned more and more cool and collected, instead of the worried and slightly panicked mess I wanted to be.
