Logan's eyes shot open as he glared at the white ceiling of the room. His brain slowly coming online as memories came flooding in.
He sprang up from the bed, putting away the heavy bed sheet on his body only to return it in a jiffy. He was stack naked with a bandage running diagonally at his back.
" Where the heck is this place " Logan ran his hand across his head while biting his lips.
The door opened and a tall skinny girl walked in. She had deep blue eyes, long dyed blue curly hair, round face and light skinned.
Dressed in a crop top, tight fitting and pressing hard against her blossoms. She had a thick jacket over it but they weren't buttoned, giving way for stares. Overall, She was really a beauty above the average level.
" Ivy?"
Ivy glared at him with a questioning look. " Why call my name like that, air head."
" I thought I saw you in my dreams after having a real big big fall." Logan smirked. " I thought you were my Angel, turns out you're still the high school demon I used to know."
" Is that how you talk to someone that saved your lowly life." Ivy's glare intensified. She looked really pissed off.
" Firstly, I'm not lowly life. Secondly, I didn't ask for it and lastly, why the heck did you remove all of my clothing, even my boxers? Tell me, do you still have a thing for me?" Logan stared at her in anticipation.
" F*ck! You're still an ungrateful bastard." Ivy shook her head. She opened a drawer, brought out a new boxer, a green T-shirt and trousers.
" Look, dickie! I don't care how ungrateful you are. Just wear this little gift from my friends and get the hell out of here. You've delayed us well enough." She threw the cloths at him.
" Friends? Since when did you have male friends?" Logan raised his eyebrows questioningly while catching the clothes just barely.
" Since when did I owe you answers Logan?"
" Well, since now." Logan replied her nonchalantly.
" You know, you're pretty lucky. We decided one of us will die if we ever meet again."
" Well, you should have done that, girlie. You had the chance, at least from what I remembered." Logan said with a cheeky smile.
" Yes, I really should have killed you and not listen to them. I don't know why they like you anyway." Ivy ran her hands across her hair frustratingly.
The door opened and a huge guy walked in. He had his hair dyed white, tanned skin and a huge sword behind him.
" Jax" Ivy muttered subconsciously at the awareness of his arrival.
" He's really awake." Jax grinned. " How're you Logan, Ivy said a lot about you bro!"
" Wow, I hope they're all on the good side."
" Surely, we'll go well together if you're what she says you are. Dress up and meet us in the living room." He said and walked out. Ivy followed him a moment later.
" This cloths are really my size, did she still remember my sizes or its just coincidentally." Logan thought.
Outside the room, Jax and Ivy walked into the large living room. There were four other people there, two ladies and two guys.
" The ex is awake." Jax announced as he walked into the living room. His announcement sparked a series of different reactions from the others. Ivy was left glaring at them.
" You really have ended things with him Ivy? Coz, that guy is really good looking. He might be a dickhead but he's better than these ones here." Mira, a cheeky cute lady said. She was short, dyed her hair pink and had thick makeups on.
" As the dickhead he is, he'll surely find something to say about your masqueraded face." Ivy scoffed at her and went to take a seat.
" That's what you think.... he'll surely find me attractive. No one sees me and passes me..." She was cut short by the door opening.
Logan looked very different from before, neat and extra handsome.
" Hi handsome!" Mira waved her hand while adjusting herself to make a sexy pose on the chair. Ivy only shook her head at her pitiful action.
" Hi" Logan waved back awkwardly. He seemed less bothered by her and was more worried by the group of six that were armed to the teeth.
" Oh, you're safe boy" the oldest among the group stood up to address him. He was a man in his early forties, had a goatee and a few grey hair here and there on his hair.
" You mean always safe or just for now." Logan asked, paranoia taking full hold of him.
" Yeah, let's say for the next couple of minutes, you'll be safe. Afterwards, you'll have to go back to the streets where your pursuers will have a easy time catching you." The man was calm and collected in his words.
" Oh, seems like you guys know something." Logan said, taking quick glances at Ivy who was totally ignoring him.
" Not really, well, I'm Lan, don't worry about introducing yourself. We all know your name and your story with Ivy here. Actually we're not interested in your back story but it turns out you have delayed an important trip for us when you came crashing in through that window."
" Ignoring you would have been the best option but it turns out we needed one more member to join us on this trip. And then, just as we thought we should take you in, a group of Colts came looking around the streets for you."
" Colts?" Logan asked with a big smile.
" Yes, looks like you know well what you're into. Being chased around by Colts isn't always the best thing but it's better than being chased by a Vanguard or the UVC."
" Oh, looks like they don't really know. Well, it's good that way." Logan thought.
" We had a hard time keeping you away for three days and reviving you. Now that you've woken up, we give you a chance to escape from your chasers."
" Three days?"
" Yeah, three big f*cking days."
" Shit, I didn't know I was out for so long. But how? How do I escape? The only known way I can escape them is leaving this planet." Logan raised his eyebrows questioningly.
" Yep, we are travellers, more like space raiders. " Lan explained.
" Travelers? Ohh. Great, I'm in....if you're into bringing me in. Trust me, I'm a hundred percent in."
A smile appeared on the face of the group members as they exchanged glances and smiles.
" Well, that was quick. Ivy had told us it would be hard to convince you to join us."
" There is no reason for me declining this offer. Well, maybe a year ago, I would have declined but not now. Those bastards will stop at nothing to get me to join the UVC when they know I'll be worth nothing more than a starless vanguard." Logan shook his head.
" Well, since that's settled. How about we check you out, your fighting skills because that's really really needed in our space travels."
" I'm sure Ivy wouldn't have skipped that part when telling you about me. Unless she only told you about the things I did that hurt her and nothing that I did to help or impress her."
" Well, she did. I just thought I should have a personal assessment of you by myself. What do you think?"
" Well, I do think I should just grab a fitting weapon for myself and we embark on our journey. I just can't wait to leave here." Logan said picked up a sword on the large table.
" I am beginning to like you Logan. I could do with a couple of tests in the ship, so, pick up your weapons, pack up and let's get going boys." Lan ordered and went out of the room
" I like you too" Logan said while throwing a kiss to Lan who was unaware of Logan's gesture.
Ivy suddenly appeared beside him and nudged him to the side. " You're probably every shitty thing in the world but stupid? I hate to admit it but your better than that." Ivy snarled at him.
" I don't get you " Logan asked, feigning ignorance.
" Joining us! That's the stupid thing I'm talking about. You've never experienced a near death event or fought a beast, Zorth, Zorit or a Xorth all your life. Our journeys are dangerous, you could die!"
" The fact that you aren't dead means I'm not dying soon dear Ivy. Why do you even worry about me anyway." Logan squinted his face, giving Ivy a jerky look.
" I might hate you but not your sister Xina. She's got no one but you, dying means she'll be left alone."
Logan grinned and face palmed. " Look like you really missed out on a lot of things since we broke up, Ivy."
" Don't worry, If I died this minute, Xina already has her luxury life mapped out for her so don't worry about me anymore, you should care about the agreement to kill each other when we meet again." Logan smiled and went to pick up a long sword.
" That reminds me, where is the the booty metal stuck to my leg when you found me?" Logan's words stirred up different reactions from the remaining members of the group. Mira had her face blushing really hard.
" Fool!" Ivy frowned.
" Oh, don't get me wrong.... it's actually a boot booty I'm talking about. Not the booty you might be thinking about." Logan said while raising his hands innocently.
" Wasted! It was already crap when you arrived here, worse condition than you were in."
" Oh, Amy would be unhappy with this news."
" Amy? You mean Amy Reid?" Ivy raised her eyebrows, full of interest and surprise.
" You still remember her?" Logan chuckled. " Seems like you only left me, your mind didn't."
" Friendly quarrels from two former lovers? That could continue in the ship. We've wasted enough time here already." Jax deep pitch voice roared in the room, Interrupting their conversation.
" It's not a quarrel, and I hope whatever it is, it doesn't continue in the ship." Logan shouted his reply at Jax.
Then he whispered in Ivy's ears" I could do with a good sleep right now."
" Fool, didn't you just wake up from a three day sleep, you idiot!."
" It's never too much." Logan winked as he walked off.
