A Winter Fire || Logan Howlett

Chapter 18

Turned out the idea was to fight against Fred, to which Laura found very amusing. She would laugh every time he got thrown to the ground, which would gain her a small glare from her husband. But after a while, Logan grew pissed off and ended up punching the large man in the head harshly.

Thankfully, Fred finally told Logan about where Victor was, which happened to be on the island Zero spoke about and mentioned that they could find the only living survivor.

The name of the mutant is Remy LaBeau, who lives in New Orleans. So, that's where the couple and John were now, at a casino where Remy would be at.

Walking into the casino, they were welcomed with the smell of sweat, smoke and stale beer. It didn't take long to find Remy, seeing as he was showing off his card dealer tricks.

"There's our dude" John muttered the couple, as they walked up to the table.

"I'm gonna go cover the back, case he rabbits" He said, causing Laura and Logan to look at him in mock offence.

"We're not gonna fight with him, we're just gonna talk" Laura said, gaining an eye roll from the man.

"Yeah, right. Don't dogs kill cats?" John questioned, making Laura look at him with real offence.

"Um, i turn into a big cat in case you forgot" She hissed, and walked off towards Gambit's table. Logan chuckled at his wife's attitude and followed her.

"You Remy LaBeau?" Laura asked, watching the man carefully.

"Do i owe you money?" He asked, stopping what the was doing.

"No" She simply answered.

"Then Remy LaBeau i am. And what might be your name, pretty eyes?" He asked, taking his hat off and sending her a seductive smile. This caused Logan to wrap a protective arm around her waist, and glared at the man.

"I'm Logan, and this is my wife Laura" He answered for her with a tight lipped smile, causing Laura to giggle at his behaviour.

"Alright, alright. Please, have a seat" Remy motioned to the two chairs in front of him.

"Large blind's a hundred, small blind's fifty. May i deal you in?" Remy asked.

"Uh, what can i get for, uh, seventeen bucks?" Logan answered, looking through his wallet.

"Seventeen dollars? A cab ride home, perhaps" Remy laughed.

"So, what brings you two to our fair city, Sir, Ma'am?" He asked, as he dealt the cards in his hand.

"Victor Creed" Laura answered, making him freeze for a second and then went back to what he was doing.

"And who's that?" He asked, obviously pretending he didn't know who they were talking about.

"The man we're gonna kill. Works for a man named Stryker on, uh, on an island. Just need to know where it is" Laura watched Remy's face carefully, and listened to his heart beat which had now sped up.

"And why would you think i know that?" He asked.

"Well, 'cause my husband and i know who you are, Gambit. You're the guy that escaped, and you're the guy who's gonna take us back there" The woman replied, and almost smirked out how Remy's body language changed so quickly at the mention of the island.

"Those are mighty nice tags you have on there, Ma'am. The man that took me wore tags just like them" Remy said, and before Laura could move she was launched over into the stage.

And just as she stood up, he threw a whole heap of cards at her and this caused her to be thrown through the brick wall.

The woman groaned loudly, as she collapsed onto the ground. Stumbling to her feet, she dusted herself off.

"Damn it. Little fuckin punk" She muttered, but then froze when she saw someone down the alley way.

She saw that John was on the ground dead, and saw that Victor was leaning over him. Flashes of memories from that day came back into her mind, which caused her to grow angry.

She was so caught up in her emotions, she didn't notice that Remy was behind her before he was tackled by Logan. While those two fought, Laura brought out her claws and glared at the man she considered her brother.

"Ohh. Shiny. Tell me something, Laura: do you even know how to kill me?" Victor asked.

"I'm gonna cut your goddamn head off. See if that works" She sneered, glaring at him a little longer before she started running at him, Victor doing the same. Crouching down to her hands and feet, Laura quickly shifted into her snow leopard form.

Once the two got closer, Victor swiped at her but she jumped over him making him miss. Laura turned back around, letting out a deep growl and watched Victor stand back up.

The two of them stormed towards each other, Laura swiping her metal claws at his face, making him let out a howl. And as she was about to swipe at him again, he quickly kicked her in the side and sent her flying into a wall.

Before she could get up and fight back, Logan beat her to it and sent his claws into Victor and pushed him against a large rubbish bin.

"You son of a bitch. You made me believe she was dead, and for what?" The man growled, digging his claws deeper.

"You're gonna die for what you helped put her through" Logan sneered, as he got ready to kill Victor but a sudden force caused them all to fly in different directions and parts of the alley way to explode.

Laura had now shifted back into her human form, and covered herself from the flying objects. When it settled down, the woman stood up and looked for Logan. Not too far ahead of her, she saw him on the ground and quickly made her way to him.

But as she went to say something to him, she looked to see Victor walking in the opposite direction to them. The woman's eyes widened, and she started running after him.

"Victor!" She yelled, but was suddenly stopped when Remy hit her with his cane and sent her to the ground. Getting back up, Laura gave him a heated glare.

"You don't wanna fight me, boy" She growled, as he went to hit her again but she swiped her claws at the stick and caused it to be cut in half. Laura moved out of the way when he went to hit her again, and head butt him hard.

"Is your head made of metal?" Remy groaned in pain, rubbing his now bleeding forehead.

"Pretty much" Was all she said, and grabbed him by the neck and threw him against a building. The man got up quickly, and used his sticks to climb up the wall.

"Is he some kind of ninja?" Laura asked Logan, who was now standing beside her.

"I have no clue. You stay here, while i go after him" He said, then followed Remy who jumped towards a thing of stairs.

Thinking quickly, Logan sliced the bottom part of the stairs and continued doing that until the whole thing came tumbling down. Laura, who was leaning against the wall, raised her brows at her husband.

"Hot" She said, getting a quick wink from the man. Then she moved towards Remy, and roughly made him stand up.

"Okay, shithead, here's the deal. So you're gonna take me and my husband to this island where we can kill Creed, Stryker, and pretty much everyone you hate in this world. Do you understand?" She said sternly, giving him a hard glare.

"You're really gonna kill him?" Remy puffed out, looking from Laura to Logan.

"As long as you don't throw me through a wall again, yeah" Laura replied, with an arched brow and then let of him.
