Meeting of two predators and one cane. Part 2
Before Logan could finish his sentence, he suddenly sensed something approaching from his right.
Logan crossed his arms in a "Wakanda Forever" style with his claws extended. Blocking the attack of Samael's pair of claws that landed between Logan's three claws, causing Samael's claws to dig into his chest.
Logan blocks Samael's attack with clenched teeth. And he frees one arm with difficulty and hits Nero hard on the head with the palm of his hand.
Making Samael release Logan and fall to the ground. And right after that, he turns to Logan, who is trying to attack Samael with his bare fist in the face with a jump.
However, Samael, seeing this, still lying on the ground, keeping his arms above his head, resting on the ground. He stretches his right leg to a kick into the air, and his left leg is bent ... which supports his body weight.
And it hits Logan directly in the stomach, sending him a few yards back.
As a result, Logan lands on his back. Rogue, on the other hand, quickly runs up to Logan and asks.
(Rogue)-Logan? ... Are you okay? ... Can I help?
Logan, clenched eyebrows, spits blood from his mouth ... Then he smiles and stands up saiding to Rogue.
(Logan)-Don't disturb ... This is a fight between me and the brat.
He said then got up and walked towards Samael. Who waited in a fighting position with a smile on his face. And he said.
(Samael)-Round two, Grandpa?
Logan smiled and with a mixture of anger and joy he said.
(Logan)-I'm not that old yet, brat!
He said and jumped out with a vertical attack on Samael. Logan jumped out and tried to make two horizontal cuts into Sam's arms. However, Samael tried to jump aside at the last moment. However, in an attempt, Logan cut a piece of skin on his back. By creating a deep wound.
However, the wound healed really quickly ... as both Logan and Rogue noticed. But for Rogue it was just for the relief on her face. However, Logan smiled even more in his signature style because that means he doesn't have to worry about killing Samael.
However, as soon as Samael dodged, he quickly turned 180 degrees to the left. And as Logan landed, he quickly slashed into his back.
However, Logan sensing the direction of the attack, still in flight, left hand with extended claws. He aimed at the site of the attack, but managed to block only one of Samael's claws. Because the other two hurt his back. Leaving two bloody marks.
Logan then jumps forward, turns around, and faces Samael. And for a long time they exchange blows and cuts with their claws.
Samael specifically blocks the power of an almost indestructible skin because, he wanted to prove himself against Logan .... And maybe it was a stupid idea, but he really didn't think it through. Because thought that he would better understand his mistakes in defense and sense of threat ... Which was true, but not a painless truth.
Samael and Logan fight in close combat and alternately injure and regenerate. As the fight progresses, neither of them thinks of defending anymore. They only exchange attacks directly.
And after fifteen minutes of close combat, Samael feels Logan is getting the upper hand. Eventually, Logan got acquainted with Sam's fighting style. Samael decides to create an element of surprise to try to defeat Wolverine.
Then, while parrying Logan's attack, Samael uses the opening in defense. And with a side kick in the style of Johanna Cage, he kicks Logn in the stomach and throws back a few yards.
And during that short ... second pause before Logan stands up and runs over to him with a vertical attack. Samael is activating his almost indestructible skin ... by the way ... deactivating and activating any passive power is extremely painful. However, Samael, in a rush of adrenaline, ignores the pain.
Samael stands in a fighting stance and waits for Logan with a smile on his face. Who gets up and running, performs his dashing claw attack again. right into Samael's neck.
However, to the surprise of Logan and Rogue, who watches the fight from the sidelines. Logan's claws glide off Samael's neck. And he, taking advantage of the opportunities, hits the shocked Logan with the shoulder and pressed him up a tree.
However, before it happened, Logan grabbed him in flight by the shoulder and threw ... slightly defying the right gravity. Another nearby tree. And for a while, they both do not get up after hitting the trees.
And after a few minutes of silence, Samael speaks.
(Samael)-Beer?
Logan raises a sore head and laughs slightly. Then he says.
(Logan)-Sure...brat.
Then Samael gets up and walks over to Logan and helps him up by shaking his hand.
(Samael)-You fight well....for a grandfather
(Logan)-Next time, I'll win, brat...
(Samael)-Yes...yes....of course.
And as they both head towards the entrance, they hear that someone is running behind them.
(Rogue)-Wait ... And why ... You just fought .... wanted to kill yourself ... what about you?-She said while running towards them.
Logan and Samael laughed and Logan said.
(Logan)-That's what happens between mans, kid .... Now let's just talk.
---------------------
Later, we see Samael sitting across from Logan, pouring dark root beer into an already second mug. Meanwhile, Rogue is sitting next to Logan, drinking dark tea, which he is sweetening at the moment.
(Samael)-Now that we have something to drink. This is what I would like to ask. Why are you visiting me? ... Because from what I remember. I haven't taken the courage to invite you on a date yet?- He said, looking at Rogue.
(Rogue)-I...Waht...aaa...hmm..
Logan laughed shortly at the embarrassed expression on his charge. And later on with a serious tone, he said.
(Logan)-No...Maybe let's say that .... I see you know you're a mutant.
(Samael)-Yes ... although personally I prefer the term "Metahuman".
(Rogue)-Metahuman?
(Samael)-Anna, you see ... the very fact that humans have powers is something metaphysical, almost incomprehensible .... And considering we are still human ... then ... we have meta-humans.
(Samael)-Besides, the term "mutant" sounds racist to me.
(Logan)-You're right ... I will talk to the professor about it ...
(Logan)-Now let's talk about your eyes. I saw your claws and regeneration and what it was in the end?
(Samael)-I'd rather not talk about it ... but as I saw I have regeneration, and in the end I just have a passive ability that allows me to permanently make my skin almost indestructible.
(Logan)-So why, almost to the end of the fight, could I hurt you?
(Samael)-Call me stupid, but I wanted to fight you without it. Check my weaknesses, because with this skill, I wouldn't have to focus on defense. And I wanted to improve my fighting style.
(Rogue)-After all, at the end of the fight, neither of you bothered defending yourself.
(Samael)-You're right ... I must be far from what I wanted ... I got carried away by the fight.
(Samael)-And claws ... and a question for you ... are we related in some way ... are there many mutants with similar powers?
(Rogue)-It interests me too.
(Logan)-hmmmm....really kid, I don't know ... my memory is not ... see ...
>Crack!!!!
(Samael)-Before I get carried away ... you have amnesia ... Or don't you remember if you had an affair with my mother ?-Samael said, hitting the table.
(Rogue)-Calm .... We have equipment in the institution and we can check ... So we'll find out ...
(Logan)-She's right, kid ... Come to the institute with us and we'll check it out ... And forgive me, but I have amnesia, I don't remember anything about five years back. So I can't say anything about it ... Sorry.
(Logan)-And now about the institute, before the conversation went off track and ended in a fight.
(Logan)-You see, as you know me and Rogue are mut ... metahumans ... and you too ... And there are more of us ... And we both belong to the school just for people like us.
(Samael)-After all, Rogue goes to school with me.
(Logan)-yes. We are simply giving them a choice whether they want to study in institutions or among ordinary people. if they control the powers, of course.
(Samael)-I understand .... but what about this? Go to school and control my powers, so what will the institute help me with?
(Logan)-hehe .... brat ... i fought with you and saw that you lack experience ... so joining us ... i can promise you that i'll kick your ass every day. And you will be able to improve your skills in practice because I am not the only strong metahuman in the institution.
(Logan)-Oh, and you'll have more opportunities to date and flirt with Rogue ... hehe ...
Rogue blushed and hides her face behind her hands. And Samael smiles and talks.
(Samael)-Okay I'll join, but I'll have to discuss the terms with ... the professor ... because he won't join someone if I only know a member of his team ... I don't know if he's a crazy manipulator or a villain belonging to some organization.
(Logan)-It's understandable kid. So tomorrow, after school. Come with Rogue to the institute and meet the Professor.
(Samael)-Sounds good.
(Logan)-I'll be back then. And I will leave you alone, a while.
Logan went to the front door and said.
(Logan)-I'm waiting by the bike, kid.
(Rogue)-Okey...
After a while, Samael is alone with Anna. And they stand in front of each other.
(Rogue)-So what were you saying before .... about a date?
(Samael)-Yesss....You know, I'd like to get to know you better ... so maybe after tomorrow ... because, as far as I know, tomorrow afternoon. I need to meet the mafia boss metahuman ... hehe ...
(Rogue)-Don't talk like that about him.
(Samael)-Well, I bet he looks like a mob boss ... based on what Logan said.
(Samael)-But coming back, maybe the day after tomorrow, after school ... we will go to the cinema ... later dinner?
(Rogue)-Sure...very willingly.
(Rogue)-So see you at school ...
(Samael)-Okey...Bye...
Once Rogue left Samael's mansion. He sat down on the couch and sighed. Samael had to pretend he didn't know anything about Xavier and the X-men, and was putting a strain on his acting skills. Which makes him mentally exhausted. But at least he managed to go out with Rogue on a date ... And after that, Samael messed up letting go to sleep. And call it a day.
