28 : Plans with Logan

After I left the overstimulated lunch area I made a beeline for the awaiting taxi outside of the compound. I think the A.I. named Friday ordered it for me. If not her than I have no idea how this taxi knew to be here.

As I got into the car I felt a presence behind me and when I looked back at the building I saw Loki looking down at me from the second floor window.

{Do you also get the sense he knows something?} Scream said skeptically.

(There is no way he knows you are in me.) I said then got into the car. (It's not like Loki can sense another being inside of someone... I think.)

I told the driver the address but apparently he already had it. Scream of course made me double check and it was indeed my address. She seemed more skeptical about the taxi, like a sixth sense that something was wrong but she didn't smell fear in the driver... So she put it off.

The ride was... fine I guess. It was a car ride from a peaceful part of New York to Manhattan. So the last half made me want to just get out and walk the rest of the way because of traffic. But I thought it best if I just stayed inside since the weather looked a little disappointing.

When I got to my apartment I payed the taxi then headed inside where Logan was cooking something delicious on the stove. It smells amazing.

He looked up from the pan when he heard the door open, a smile on his face as I walked into the room. "Hello, darling." He turned the stove off and walked over as I shut the door. "How was it?" He wrapped his arms around me in a hug and placed a gentle kiss on my forehead.

I wrapped my arms around him and held him close. "Overstimulating."

{Tell me about it.}

(Most of it is your fault, Scream.)

{He was there and you didn't let me do anything.} She huffed.

(We couldn't. I don't want them knowing your in me and I'm in you.)

Logan leaned away and lifted to brush my hair out of my face. "Are you alright?" He looked at me so softly.

I smiled softly. "Yes... I got my independence." Logan smiled, I went on my toes and kissed his lips. "What are you cooking?" I couldn't help it, the smell was amazing. I was almost drooling.

Logan smiled. "Nothing much. Just a meal I found in a book." He ran his hand down my arm. "Why don't you go look while I set the table."

I smiled. "Alright." I walked over to the stove and Logan went to the cabinet with the plates and glasses. I looked in the pan and saw everything need to make juicy fajitas. Cooked steak, cooked peppers and onions. On the counter was the workings of chipped tomatoes and lettuce. "Logan." I turned to him, he looked at me. "You didn't have to."

Logan smiled. "I wanted to, darling." He walked to me and kissed my forehead. "Go and sit. I'll bring the food."

I sighed. "You are to perfect." Logan smiled, I turned and grabbed the cut up sides. "I'll take this." I walked to the table and set the board between the two plates then sat down in the chair as Logan brought over the sizzling pan. "Did you get tortillas?"

Logan nodded. "They are being warmed." I nodded and smiled as he set the pan down. "I'll be right back." He turned and went to get the tortillas. I licked my lips. I was so hungry and potato chips and pop tarts can't compare to this. Logan is so sweat and kind. He's to perfect for me. How did I ever get so lucky?

"Alright, darling." Logan sat down and placed the tortillas on the table. "Dig in." And I did. I took a tortilla and loaded it with steak, pepper, onions, guacamole. Everything available I loaded into that warm flimsy tortilla. "Slow down." Logan chuckled softly.

"But I'm hungry." I took another huge bite and moaned as the taste filled all my senses. "It's delicious."

Logan smiled and made his own. "I'm glad you like it." He took a bit and moaned as well which made me laugh and choke on my food. "Careful darling." I smiled and took another bit.

•Logan and I spent the rest of the day together outside the apartment. I didn't want to be stuck inside and I needed to give Scream a walk until she chilled out from seeing Vision again.

I saw Rebecca when we went to the coffee shop and she pulled me to the side to have a little girl talk. Mostly about how Logan and I were doing. She has always rooted for us every since the first day she saw Logan and I together. Now that we are dating she wants to know all the details.

After the coffee shop we went back to my apartment and watched movies with popcorn and chocolate until I ended up falling asleep on the couch, and woke up in my bed with Logan beside me.

I snuggled next to him and he wrapped his arm around my waist.

That's all I remember before I fell back asleep with his warmth surrounding me. And then I woke up to the cold.

Logan wasn't next to me and there was no note. Maybe he had an emergency work call. I turned on my other side and closed my eyes for sleep but I heard a noise from the kitchen. Like someone getting utensils.

(Midnight snack?) I smirked tiredly.

{I could go for some chocolate.} Scream said.

I sat up and stretched my arms out, my feet finding the cool wooden floor. I heard the noise again and I started to get curious what Logan was going at this time of night in the kitchen. Maybe I ate more than my share at dinner.

I stood up and wiped my eyes to wake them up as I walked to the chair, which had my warm cardigan draped on it.

I put on the cardigan then walked out of my room and into the living room/kitchen area, but was confused when I saw the lights were off. "Logan?" I looked around but saw no one. "Hello?" I walked to the kitchen and looked behind the counter, but Logan wasn't there.

I gasped as I felt something quickly wrap around me and cover my mouth. "Stark." A deep voice said as his other hand pressed a sharp object against my throat.

Scream growled and salivated at the same time. It was actually close to when she needs a feeding and a food delivery was just what she needed. I could feel her wanting to crawl out of me and tear him to pieces.

(Not in my apartment.)

{Does that really matter?!}

(Don't even get me started on how messy it is when you feed.)

The man's hand on my mouth pushed my head back onto his shoulder, opening my neck. "Send a message your brother for me." He said into my ear and then the knife made a fast and clean swipe

It was only a couple second that my blood poured out and I choked, but then I felt my hold on Scream slip as her red form soaked out of my skin and took control.

She turned to the man and I could see the horror in his eyes as he followed her height growing in front of him. "Hello." Scream said in a taunting tone. The man screamed and tried to stab Scream with the knife from my kitchen before he backed away. "Awe. How pathetic."

I looked away as Scream lurched forward and but his head and I think Scream sensed my worry about the body because she ended up eating that whole as well. It was all so fast that the mess was mostly from me being cut.

(Scream! Look at all my blood!)

Scream chuckled. "All these years and you are afraid of blood?" She licked her lips. "If it effects you that much I can clean it up."

I sighed internally. (I'll clean it.)

"Elisa?"

This can't be happening. I looked through Screams eyes to see Logan looking at the room in horror. (Logan.)

Logan's eyes turned to Scream and I saw the look in his eyes. "Darling?" He said in a voice that tells me I am not his innocent love anymore.

(Run.) I commanded Scream, and she followed. Darting out of the window and out onto the rooftops.

(He will never want me after this. I'm a monster. He's going to leave me.)

"Stop!" Scream yelled at me as she jumped from a rooftop to the side of a skyscraper.

I stopped thinking crazy thought and started to lose control of my emotions. Mostly because she was climbing very high. If I was outside Scream right now I would be balling my eyes out. The one person I thought would stay by me and love me just saw the worst part of who I am. I saw the look in his eyes. The fear.

(Scream. He hates me.)

"No he doesn't." Screams talons reached for the top of the skyscraper but before they could grab on something blasted the ledge. 

I felt us falling fast down the side of the building, but I wasn't to scared. I trust Scream with our lives.

Screams claws scraped against the towers stone until they dung into the rock and stopped our descent. Her legs pressed off of the skyscraper and jumped to another one nearby before she looked back and saw a flying man firing up his weapons again.

(Tony?)
