AN: Woah I completely change lore to fit my needs, but thats what Marvel does too. I basically just avoided any specific details but its supposed to be that for whatever reason Wolverine still gave up his life for Laura but the whole like fall off, mutants dying off, charles deteriorating doesn't happen because it makes me sad. This isn't supposed to be like some serious piece of media or whatever, just for fun. For now all of the tension and romance is staying pg-13, language is a bit bad, I'll decide if I want more intense stuff as I go ig.
Her Somedays she felt as if life had possibly been too kind to her. Sure her life had started off rough, running away from home after discovering she was a mutant, bouncing around place to place, facing discrimination at every corner, but in the past five years everything had changed.
Finding Xavierâs school and joining the X-Men had turned her life into something more wonderful than she ever could have imagined. Sheâd found a family and purpose, and eventually love.
The grumpy Wolverine had not initially been a friend, simply a gruffy colleague who didnât seem to want to give her the time of day. But somehow as time progressed they had gotten closer and closer, until they finally gave into their emotions.
And that path had somehow led her to where she was now, singing karaoke at a crappy bar with a group of her favorite mutants.
Settled at a round table were Logan, Jubilee, Rogue, and even the infamous Wade Wilson, who had somehow charmed his way into her life.
The group cheered and grinned, giving her goofy thumbs up as she took the stage, smiling sheepishly as if they didnât come here all the time, and she hadnât sung this song a thousand times.
The familiar tune began, Alanis Morisetteâs Head over Feet, her and Loganâs song.
Yes, she thought life had been too kind to her, but she could never believe that sheâd deserve what was coming in only a few short months.
Logan, the man who never shouldâve been able to die, who by all regards shouldâve outlived her by hundreds of years, gone. Succumbing to his body's collapse, adamantium slowly poisoning him, and he was just gone.
She no longer knew how to live, nor could she devise good reasons to keep living, she wanted to just give up and follow Logan to the grave, but her duty to the world kept her from doing so.
Months passed, pouring herself into her work, focusing on nothing but being an X-Men, when everything changed again.
Wade, that complete idiot and fool, had brought a ânewâ Logan to their world, and truthfully she had no clue how to feel about it. He wasnât hers, he didnât know her at all, and yet he carried her loveâs face.
Worst of all Wade insisted she come to his welcoming party.
Him Logan was adapting to his new life pretty well all things considered, but he had yet to actually meet many of the people that inhabited his new life, and was anxious as all hell for the party that would change that.
As he dug through the fridge for a beer to help calm his nerves, Wade awkwardly entered the kitchen, clearly having something to tell him.
Logan stood up, closing the fridge and suspiciously eyeing Wade.
âOut with it,â he said pointedly.
âListen fluffy, thereâs someone I invited who well, sheâs a bit different than the other guests,â he began poorly.
âWhatâs wrong with her? She got a lizard head or something,â Logan joked, casually leaning against the fridge.
âOh no nothing like that, quite cute actually. I mean youâll definitely find her cute because,â Wade took a deep breath, âShe and Logan, the old Logan of course, were well, together.â
Logan was startled, but tried to hide it with a chuckle, âOk so I gotta meet the dudeâs fuckbuddy. Iâve had my own, I know it comes with the territory of a Wolverineâs life.â
âOh sweetie, the only fuckbuddy youâve got is me. The thing is they were actually, together, all emotional and stuff. True love or something dorky like that.â
Logan tensed up, not expecting the old Logan to have someone like that waiting at home for him.
âWade, why didnât you tell me about this sooner!? Some poor girl is about to come through that door and see her former lover just standing around, a man whoâs never met her!â He yelled, claws coming out and piercing his beer.
âGoddamnit, shit, Wade you clean this shit up, Iâve gotta go change my shirt.â Hours later people began shuffling in, many people Logan recognized from his world, others heâd never seen before.
He tried to meet and talk to people but his mind was elsewhere, looking around for who she could be.
Wade quickly picked up on what Logan was doing, coming up and whispering in his ear, âSheâs over there,â pointing at a girl awkwardly situated in the corner.
Loganâs eyes landed on a girl who looked about twenty-three, staring at the floor, a solo cup half crushed in her hands. She wore a pair of jeans and a red tanktop, but she kept pulling on her shirt like she regretted wearing something so small. Her hair was yanked up in a ponytail and Logan recognized the signs of mourning on her face, the dark circles, the smeared makeup. The poor thing hadnât yet overcome her loss, and was still at this party.
Logan turned to Wade with a grimace, âit was cruel of you to invite her,â he said with a growl.
Wade just shrugged, âyou should talk to her,â he said before running off to bother someone else.
Logan turned his head back to her and realized with a shock that he recognized her. She was one of the deceased X-Men from his world, or he supposed she wasnât, but he had known a her. Known was a strong word he thought, heâd barely said a word to her before she died.
It was a strange feeling looking at her, like deja-vu or getting a glimpse of the future. It made the wound of his lost world sting again, knowing that if they had survived he couldâve fallen in love with his worldâs her, that heâd lost more than heâd ever even known.
He slowly pushed through the wads of people to the other side of the living room, to the girl hiding in the corner. As he approached Rogue was just leaving her, having let her borrow a jacket, and she gave Logan a knowing look as she walked away.
The girl looked up at him, jumping as if she had seen a ghost, her face going white.
âUh, hello,â he said oh so eloquently.
âHi,â she squeaked out, crushing her solo cup the rest of the way, making a bit of soda spray out and onto his shirt.
He looked down at his shirt grumbling, ânot again..â
âOh no I am so sorry!â she said, putting the ruined cup down and taking his wrist, dragging him to the empty kitchen.
She quickly bundled up some paper towels, trying her best to dry off his shirt.
âHey, hey, it's alright,â he said, grabbing her wrists and making her stop trying to fix his shirt.
She looked up at him and he saw tears forming in her eyes, threatening to run over her cheeks.
âAre you alright?â he asked, feeling like an idiot, of course she wouldnât be alright.
âYeah, Iâll be fine,â she wiped her tears away with her forearms, âthis all just, well, it's a lot,â she sighed.
âI never thought Iâd see you again,â she choked a bit on her words, âand still itâs notâŠits not you.â
She turned away from him, crossing her arms and leaving the kitchen.
âI should go,â she muttered, rushing out of the apartment before Logan could stop her.
Wade crept over, a look on his face like a schoolgirl with a crush.
âSo howâd it goooo,â he asked as if she and Logan had just kissed, instead of whatever had just happened.
âBad,â Logan told him, âit went bad.â
âYou like her donât ya,â Wade teased, dragging his finger up Loganâs shoulder.
âI donât even know her Wade,â he deflected, brushing Wadeâs fingers off his shoulder.
Wade sighed dramatically, leaving Logan alone in the kitchen.
Logan stood for a while, not wanting to go back to the party, but also trying his hardest to scrub the strange girl from his mind, trying not to wonder if the role Logan had served in her life was one that heâd get to take over.
