Chapter 17 - I saw you in my dreams

Black skies hung over the 'Crazy Car Motel', and suddenly the heavens opened and rain poured down. The atmosphere had been filled with the promise of a storm all day, the inevitability of it beginning with the cry of the thunder overhead followed by the power play of lightning, enveloping everything with its sudden ethereal glow, diminishing as quickly. It caught the receptionist off guard as he was awoken by the clatter, but he quickly went back to his television show and drifted back to sleep.

It was a different matter, however, in room 15. Logan, awoken too by the sound of the thunder and the sudden impact of white light on his eyelids, shifted slightly with the weight of a familiar body leaning against him. Smiling to himself he remembered back to their union of body and soul not hours before, the realisation washing over him that he could never leave this woman again. Moving slightly he bowed to rest a kiss on her cheek and checked to see if she was okay; 'The past few weeks must have taken a lot out of her for her to sleep through this storm,' he thought before wrapping his free arm over her body, lying back and waiting for the storm to be over so that he could sleep again.

Beth was too taken by her dream to be aware of what was going on outside. Memories from that evening and from Beth and Logan's joint past were washing over her like waves of ecstasy, it was as if the past twenty years had never happened, as if the two had never parted. The love they shared could never be matched by anyone or anything ever again. He kissed her and it had felt so real, settling into his arms she slept even more peacefully.

***

. Logan was lying, submerged, in the tank as five masked figures milled around outside, one brandishing the biggest syringe he thought he had ever seen in his life. A flash, and they were looking on to their success, toasting him with champagne although he was barely alive. Another flash, and he was out of the tank, he was lying on a gurney as two figures, still masked, moved towards his marked body, all necessary bones and entry points inked onto his skin like a tattoo. He had been sedated but not nearly enough as the first figure pushed the needle into Logan's arm and injected the liquid adamantium, the second figure followed suit and injected into one of his legs .

Beth awoke trying to break free of the restraints that were holding her down.

"Beth, its okay . its me, its only me." Logan said, as he relaxed his hold over her bringing her to a sitting position in front of him and into a hug. She began to cry with relief, realising that it had been Logan holding her down trying to comfort her; tears started to flow down her cheeks and landed on Logan's shoulder. "Shh, darlin'. Whilst your with me nothin' is ever gonna hurt you."

She pulled away from the reassurance of his shoulder and the crook of his neck. Holding each other at arms length she looked over all that she could see of him. He was as he had always been, apart from a few battle scars that had appeared on his torso and limbs, his healing power was good but not that good. She reached for his arm, the one from her nightmare and began tracing her fingers over the area that they had inserted the syringe. "Do you ever remember what they did to you?" she asked, absently.

"Who?"

"Those bastards in Canada, the ones that filled your body with the adamantium."

"Sometimes, I used to get nightmares all the time, but they stopped recently. In fact, they stopped when I moved out of your room, perhaps subconsciously my link to them was through you," he gestured, as he lifted his hand to place a stray lock of her hair behind her ear.

"Me! Yeah maybe. Has Rogue . I mean Marie, has she ever seen what they did to you."

"Yeah, you know I told you 'bout the time I knifed her and she took some of my power, well she collected some of my memories then. Why d'ya ask?"

Beth retraced the wound on his arm again with her fingers before lifting the limb to her mouth and kissing the entry point. Bringing her eyes up to meet his she finally answered, "I think she unknowingly passed some onto me. I've seen them too. That was what I was dreaming about before I woke up. Will, now that I've seen what those supposed scientists did to you I want to kill them."

"You're gonna have to stand in line behind me you know, darlin' . what did you just call me?" He asked, a grin creeping over the corners of his mouth.

Beth looked at him thoroughly confused, "I called you . oh my god . I called you Will didn't I?"

"Yeah, some old boyfriend you wanna tell me about!" A hint of jealously appearing in his eyes.

"No, no old boyfriend," she smiled, her eyes lighting up, "only an old husband. Will is your name. William Michael Logan to be exact, well that's what you said and signed on the day we got married. But you never liked William so you used to get me to call you Will, everyone else had to call you Logan."

"Seems fair," he began laughing, catching her hand as it gently caressed his side burns. "Like 'em do ya'."

"Always have and always will, they give you so much character, befitting your true age," she smirked.

"Well don't know 'bout you, honey, considering your no spring chicken yourself anymore," he said, receiving a swat on the shoulder for his remark, "but this old fella could use another round." He still had hold of the hand Beth had been using to stroke his face; pulling it closer to his lips he gently licked the back of it, intently watching her reaction to his touch. It was good.

Beth visibly sucked in all of the air that she thought she would need in order not to suffocate from the contact of his tongue against her soft flesh. "Your perpetual youth is what keeps me young. Will, I love you."

Logan swelled, he could never remember a greater feeling than the one he was feeling right now. He felt sure he must have felt it before and knew that if he had been around when Beth had found out she was pregnant and had passed the happy news onto him; he would have done so then too. His face shone with the knowledge that Beth loved him, after everything that had happened, after all the years that had passed, Beth loved him, still loved him. "Thank you, Beth. I love you."

Unshed tears glimpsed at the corners of her eyes as she accepted his spoken phrase, knowing that he must truly have meant it in order to say it. If there was anything she remembered about this man, it was that he was decent, honest and never took such expressions lightly. She could tell he had put his heart and soul into conveying his feelings towards her.

The next thing she knew, he was drawing her naked body towards him and gently kissing away the drops in each of her eyes. He placed butterfly kisses over her forehead before moving to her mouth, his touch was warm and tender and after a short while he drew back slightly to see if she was enjoying their moment, it didn't take much to notice that she was. Playfully he bent his head back towards her and used his nose to caress hers, like an Eskimo, before returning to her mouth. This time their kiss was hungry, full of longing and need and it wasn't long before the desire in each of them took over.

***

Finally leaving the comfort of their motel room, Logan and Beth emerged, renewed, to continue on their journey to find their daughter. Who knew what Marie was looking for, but they each had to talk with her and allow her to hate and love as she chose. They had to give her the options and maybe learn to understand what she wanted. At least they knew that if what she did want wasn't them, they had each other. Beth had found her husband and Logan had found some more of his past, now they just hoped they could find Rogue and Remy, before someone else did.
