Bet On It {Logan}

[Deleted]

Sweat trickled down her face and the hair that had freed itself from her pony tail stuck to her face due to the salty substance. Her breathing was a tad more ragged than it usually was but she kept herself standing and motivated on the fight. He was proving to be a tougher opponent than originally thought but it was due to the fact he was overpowering her it was more because they seemed to be getting the equal amount of hits and blocks in when it came to each others attacks. It was weapons only, Felicity was even nice as to use a normal sword instead of her Stygian iron one. His weapon of choice was the arrow. Long versus short distance but she felt she was holding herself well and dodging every now and then as an arrow whizzed past her ear as she charged after him, sword in hand. Sure, the blood trickling down her cheek from one arrow that grazed her proved that she wasn't invincible in this fight. She had other injuries too but nothing too serious if anything it was fatigue hitting her from the duration of the fight. This had to end and the sooner the better.

It didn't matter who won her or him he was still going to get a day in the Underworld as was the bet. He was stupid to let her choose what would happen if he had won the fight, thinking his charm worked on her. Please. She had a son of Mars who caught her attention or she was blinded by the actual sun, meaning Apollo. He frustrate her and his innuendos made her want to punch a wall but yet it flustered her and made her blush because she wasn't use to it. She hated that. She hated anyone seeing her blush and it made her shy because she always tried to hide it but no, she wanted to give him black eyes so as to make it difficult for him to even look at her. What did anyone see in him anyway? He was cocky and far too flirty for her taste. Sure she had liked flirty men before, see the above mentioned sun God who was notorious for his flings and then she had once crushed hard on a certain flirt who turned gentleman for his wife. But Logans flirtatious ways didn't charm her, just anger her. And it was with this anger that she went for a stab near his neck hoping to end it, not kill him, gods no. She was going to hold it away from his neck and as that would be a finishing blow it would deem this fight over.

This fight, he knew that it would be wrong to allow her to pick both forms of punishment but hey, it was amazing. A smirk came to his lips as he watched her move. She really was an amazing woman and fighting with no powers seemed to be proving only both of their strength. She had been trained in the sword and he had been trained in the arrow. This was one of the reasons he had been champion archer in his school. Even from this distance he was able to see one of his arrows did knick her and she was bleeding from it. This fight though, it was something else. Many times she had gotten close and he had blocked her sword with his bow.

Thankfully she chose a normal sword because she had gotten him a few times with it. Sure he was bleeding but the pain from the wounds would pass. His mind raced back to the conversation that they had that caused this. She really did turn red when he made all of those comments. It was amazing that he had made her blush. It was amazing the effect that he was having on these girls, first Amelia and now Felicity.

His attention returned back to the battle as he loosed another arrow. When it whizzed passed her he growled and sighed. He was going to have to try harder now. Lucky for both of them they weren’t aiming to kill, right? All he had to do was keep his distance and make sure she didn’t close in. As he reached back he gasped and his eyes widened, great! One arrow left! He was going to have to make sure that this one counted. As she got closer to him he made sure to hold the arrow back and wait. This was going to be the deciding factor.

It was a good thing he did say no powers or she would have ended this a long time ago. When her sword came up and was about to strike near his neck he quickly pulled out his arrow, knocked it and pulled back on the string. A grin on his lips as his eyes looked into hers. “Well darling, it looks like we’re at a draw.” Winking he motions down where he had his arrow aimed right at her heart. He felt the sweat drip down from his forehead as he caught his breath. She was one amazing fighter.

Slowly he lowered his bow and grinned at her. “You gave me a really good workout. I actually enjoyed this.” He winks as he puts the arrow away and then leans in closer. “So what do we do in this position now? Neither you or I ended up on top.” He winks, oh yes. Maybe he would get her mad again, she was cute when she was angry and blushing.

[Deleted]

Felicity knit her eyebrows at his mention of a draw, glancing down to see the arrow point positioned against her chest that showed her heavy breathing. If she wasn't annoyed at it she might have even given the outcome a smirk. It wasn't every day that she ended up in a draw with someone. Then again, it wasn't often she did a fight with no powers. Instead of a smirk she took a deep breath to try to even her ragged breaths out as she lowered her sword. "I told you not to call me darling."

She watched him closely as he took a step forward closer to her. Despite all her reflexes yelling at her to take a step back she stood firm. She wasn't afraid of him and if he tried anything all she had to do was raise her knee quickly in order to get him to fall. Though he did bring up a good question. Neither of them had one so what happened to the outcome of the bet? She didn't know. Felicity shrugged her shoulders as she took a step back and walked over to the water battle and towel she had placed on the sidelines. "I don't know. You made me choose about what would happen if either of us won. Seems only fair you should choose what happens now." She said before bending down to take a swig from her water bottle and then grabbing her towel and wiping the sweat, blood, and dirt from her face. Plus with her answering that way it kept it away from the sexual innuendos which aggravated her. The first time she mentioned being on top she meant it in a complete fighting sense, she meant that any other time she had said it after too.

Not that the older male wasn't attractive, he obviously was but Felicity didn't know anything about him except that he seemed to enjoy making her aggravated which made Felicity even more apprehensive around him. She didn't even know why he decide to do that, he was always walking a fine line between getting punched in the face and not. It always made her want to complain to Remmus about him. She had a good theory that if that happened Logan would definitely not bother her anymore. Maybe, or she gave Remus too much credit in her head where she thinks he'll be really protective and territorial over her and punch anyone who tried to take her away from him. That was Felicitys head so of course if she told Remus that it might not even end up that way.

His smirk danced on his lips as he looked into her eyes, this was a draw, it was amazing that he was able to draw with her. She was in fact a demi-god after all. So he had been expecting to lose. But now, now was something completely different. They were equals in battle when she wasn’t using her powers. That was, they were equals until he decided to fight her and allowed her full on access to her powers. Then she would have him beat in seconds. Part of him, well part of him didn’t mind that fact. It was her eyes; her eyes were the reason he didn’t mind. They held so much truth and they held something else in there.

As she finally lowered her sword he breathed a little easier, it was good to not have to worry about an accidental slip. “What is your aversion to that name?” She really didn’t like it and that said something, someone in her past who loved her must have called her that. Someone who wasn’t around anymore that was. Maybe, maybe if she let him one day he would ask her why she didn’t like that name.

The way she didn’t step back as he moved forward actually made him beam with pride, she wasn’t intimidated or scared of anything. Though, if you thought that was his goal you would be wrong. Something about Felicity drew his interest. Maybe he had something about death and being this close to it. It was like a dance you had to keep up with because one wrong move and well, well you were dead. As she moved to get her towel he moved to where he had set up his things. Taking a long swing from his water bottle he sighed. This had actually been a great work out.

While he was wiping his sweat away he slowly made his way over to her trying to think of what they could do. “Well, I think before I decide what should be the new outcome we should get patched up.” He holds up the medical kit he had brought with him and smiles. “You have a couple wounds I feel would be better patched up rather than bleeding and I would feel better if you were bandaged up.” Yes, this was totally innocent in every way, he just wanted to make sure she would heal fine.

Sitting down he reached for his other unopened bottle of water and motioned for her to sit. “I won’t bite, I promise I just want to help clean you up and make sure you’re okay.” Really, he did. It was interesting that even though he liked pushing her buttons he wanted to be nice to her at the same time. Well yes, he did want to be nice but she was cute when she was angry and agitated.

[Deleted]

Felicity rolled her eyes. She just didn't like to be called that, was it a crime? "The way you say it makes me feel like you're belittling me. Even though I could kill you before you said "sorry"." That was that, no weird reason or anything, just not being comfortable was all.

Felicity kept a close eye on him as he approached her and glanced down at the medical kit he mentioned. It was an innocent enough gesture but still, she always tried to bandage herself up or at least stop the building until it wasn't a threat. There were probably plenty of times when she had a wound that needed stitches that she just let heal eventually, cursing everytime it would hurt but the less time at the infirmary with people babying over her was better. But she had a sneaky suspicion that he wasn't going to let her get away with walking around with an open wound dripping blood. With a huff she sat down on the grass next to him. "I'm really fine. It's just a scratch." Not. It was a full out cut that went through all the layers of her skin. He really kept those arrows sharp. It was a nuisance.

"Besides, shouldn't you take care of yourself before you try to care for someone else? I know I got you pretty good a few times." Was she boasting? Yes, yes she was. "It'd be a shame if you bled out before you even had the chance to try to play nurse on me." Felicity said proudly, hurting to add an extra wound with her words. She was quite skilled in that department though she kept that locked under tight at times. But you can blame her skill on the countless training she had with Edmund and their constant sarcastic teasing with each other. It's what caused them to become the best of friends too, that and her stubbornness to keep him company because at least he didn't bring up bad topics around her. Both of them had their faults and they recognized that and just pretended it didn't exist half the time so that they could make fun of how they would grow up or something. She should probably bother him again soon. Nothing against Josh and Rhia but to be around love birds with a crying baby would probably slowly make anyone stir crazy, the least she could was try to poison him by cooking him dinner with her not close at all to Gordon Ramsey cooking skills.

Oh so that is why she didn’t like him calling her those names? Well that was a mistake he was going to have to correct. “Not at all, there is no way that I would belittle you at all.” That was the truth; she was an amazing girl from what he had figured out so far. The thought of how she could kill him without a second thought or trying actually scared him a little. He knew that she could kill him if he were to actually get into a real fight with her; it was the powers that she had being a demi-god. Those powers gave her a very strong advantage over him in battle.

They had damaged one another really well in their fight, sure again if she had access to her powers it would have been an unfair fight but without her powers they were evenly matched. Sure she had gotten a few really good hits in and he wouldn’t let her know that. They hurt like nothing he’d felt before. His eyes looked her over and he shook his head. “If it was just a scratch you wouldn’t be bleeding the way you are. I can tell you need to be bandaged up.”

They both needed some work and it would be a lot to actually heal them both up. His eyes moved to his own wounds as she spoke. They did actually look worse than they; well no they felt just as bad as they looked. “You did get a few really good shots in on me.” His right arm got the worst of it. A small laugh escaped his lips. “You know I can hear the sarcasm dripping in that statement.” Would she think it sad if he bled out? No! He could tell she probably could care less either way.

Reaching into the kit he grabbed out rubbing alcohol and the hydrogen peroxide, first he cleaned it with the alcohol and then poured on the peroxide. That stuff always burned when it went on. After a few minutes he opened his bottle of water and poured it on the wound to clean off the peroxide. Once cleaned he bandaged it up and continued onto his other wounds. Once he was fully fixed he looked at Felicity and smiled. “You’re turn.” Yup, now he was going to get to play nurse on her and bandage her up.

[Deleted]

Felicity hugged herself hoping that by doing so it would cover up a majority of the blood stains that were starting to form. All it did was cause her to wince form the pain. She forgot how much an open wound could still sting. She looked at him as he took care of himself. He knew exactly what needed to be done. She didn't. She never bothered to learn how to take care of herself with a mortal first aid kit. WHy bother when there was always an infirmary not that far of a walk away or when there was ambrosia and nectar she could use or when she could just pout to her nephew or friend, Apollo for help with her wounds. See, she just never really thought to actually bother learning how to use the stuff. Which now she mentally kicked herself for. If she had she wouldn't be in the position she was in now where Logan would relish in playing nurse.

"Sure you didn't miss a spot?" She asked, just hoping to make sure she wouldn't have to become his patient but she already knew the answer to that question. After all, she had watched him bandage himself up and she knew where his wounds were because she implemented them. Which meant that she should probably let him take care of her, as much as she hated the prospect. But she could already feel herself paling and getting nauseous some due to some of the blood lost. Which really left her no choice. And that is what she would tell herself if this ever came up in the future. She begrudgingly removed her arms hugging herself. And with a long sigh she spoke. "Fine. But only because I really have no other choice. Just, don't think I'm doing it because I want you to." Felicity stated.

Though she wasn't really too found of cleaning out wounds, that always stung and she was never quite a fan of that. She could never stop herself from letting out a little whimper, which yes, she mentally beat herself for because she hated anyone seeing her vulnerable side. She liked only maybe a handful to know that side of her, like Remus. Everyone else can just remember what a pain in the butt she had been the past few years and leave her be, just like she liked at times.

This fight had done a lot to them both; they were going to probably need to see a doctor after this. If they were lucky the field dressing would be enough to heal up the wounds and not leave anything there to infect them and make matters worse. Besides, he would be sad if this good fighter were to die because of him. No less she was a demi-god and her father or mother would probably come find him and smite him for killing their daughter. Plus, he wouldn’t like to have the death of an amazing young woman on his hands, even if she did push him away when he tried to get to know her.

“I’m pretty sure I didn’t miss a spot, had to do this quite a bit in my younger years.” The hiking and trips him and his friends used to take. Now those were the good old days when they were carefree. Now he was in a world where he was living less carefree and more protective. He had a little girl he was going to protect and no one would ever harm her while he was alive. He watched her as she held her arms around herself and he shook his head. There was no way she was going to not let him help clean her up. She was losing blood and he could see it in her face as she paled. At this point she was probably going to have to let him drive her home too. There was no way she’d have the energy for that, what did she call it? Oh right! Shadow travel.

“Not to mention I’m doing it because you’re losing a lot of blood just like I was. We both need to be patched up and I’m not going to let you be stubborn and not get patched up.” He moved and started working on cleaning out her wounds. They looked bad but hopefully he’d get them all fixed up. He made sure to clean each one with water and peroxide and then water again to make sure they were well disinfected. Now there was no chance for her to get any sort of infection. Once he had all of the bandages applied he packed up the kit and looked her over. Actually, home probably wasn’t a good idea right now. “I think before I get you home we should get some food and juice into you.” He put the kit into the back seat of his car and opened the front passenger door for her. “Don’t bother arguing because you know I’m right, you’re in no shape to shadow travel and you can’t wait for anyone else.” Logic for the win.

[Deleted]

Felicity huffed in agitation. She would have been fine without him patching her up. Why did he have to be so stubborn? She was the stubborn one and hated when someone ever out stubborned her. THerefore she was not a happy camper at the moment. She had never had to deal much with mortal wound cleaning supplies either so whenever the disinfectant hit her she would suck in a breath from the pain or gasp at it. Seriously, this was a pain in the butt. You were already hurt and in pain. Why make something to clean it out that would end up making it burn and sting some? What was wrong with mortals?

As soon as he was done she stood up and brushed off any dirt that was on her clothes off. Though at his mention of food she raised an eyebrow. "I could totally wait for someone. I just don't want to stress any certain person by them thinking I've disappeared again or something." Felicity said, clearly meaning Remus. While her friends would also worry she was more worried about stressing Remus out again or hurting him or anything really. She really cared for him above anyone else. He had always tried to be there for her and she was always selfish and never realized what was truly in front of him until she came back and found he had moved on. That was when she vowed to never hurt him again if she could help it.

"Also, don't think less of me. I could totally shadow travel right now. It's not smart and it'll probably knock me out, but I could do it. Just not smart and ugh! I hate you and your logic." Felicity said as she looked at him defiantly and crossed her arms. He was right and she knew that. Not that she would ever truly admit it. That stubborn side of her wouldn't give him the satisfaction. She let out an annoyed sigh as she rolled her eyes. "But fine, maybe you're right. However, you have to pay. It was your idea so it's your wallet that gets to become thinner. No arguments!" Felicity said in her demanding, in-charge tone that had been in the reserves since she lost her position as a centurion. When she was a centurion it had been used a lot. Sure, by the time her end as a centurion had come into sight her leadership was very questionable but in her defense her mind wasn't in the right place, as if that wasn't obvious. Oh well, she could only remember bits and pieces of that time thanks to Saturn and his dumb thing to take her memories. She couldn't even remember why he had done it. Oh well, at least no one really could tell that her amnesia never healed completely. Thank the gods for the Romans well written records that allowed her to fake some memories.

He was going to be stubborn if she didn’t let him patch her up. Lol, she wasn’t a very happy camper when someone out suborned her. That’s a great one, just saying. Now back onto topic. His eyes looked over her wounds as he inspected each and every one of them. She really had seen some battles from what he could tell. Hearing her gasp and suck in her breath when all the cleaning stuff hit her he smiled a little. “I can tell you’re not used to being cleaned up like a mortal. Well in case you’re wondering it burns and stings because one is to clean it out and disinfect it while the other one is to make sure no infection sets in. It’s either that or something really bad like a horrible infection sets in.” The more she knows, right?

Looking at her when he was done he smiled. Perfect, she was fixed like new and he had done a good job if he had to say so himself. A grin came to his lips and he shook his head at her. “No waiting, we’re going to go and get some food. I hope you love pizza.” Pluto yes! Pizza was amazing and they needed to get one!

A smile came to his lips when she told him that she could shadow travel but his logic won out in the long run. “I told you there was no use in arguing with me on the subject, Felicity.” Smirk because yes, he won! He opens the passenger door for her and smiles as he motions for her to get in. “Plus, if you were to shadow travel and pass out you wouldn’t get to have this amazing pizza we’re about to go and get.” A good, large pizza with any topping she wanted.

With the annoyed sigh she let out he knew he’d won. Yes, he had this argument with quite a few people he knew when they were exhausted and he’d seen the worst of it. “I planned on paying for us both anyways, I’m not that big of a jerk you know.” That in charge and demanding voice of hers was really amazing. He liked it actually, any woman would could give orders and fight like her was okay in his book. It was something he admired about her. He could tell this was going to be a friendship for the ages! “You ready to go?” He hopped into his car and started the engine up. Time for food!

[Deleted]

Oh gods, a medical lesson? She didn't care about medicine. Sure, she had been into Apollo at one point and doctor stuff was under his domain but that did not mean she was interested in it. All she knew was that the chemicals stung and she hated it. As he responded to her she couldn't help but feel a tad annoyed. But fine, she got pizza out of the deal, couldn't suck all that bad is pizza were involved, right? At least that was something she told herself. You could never ever go wrong with pizza. It was like the gods gift to humanity. Actually, she wondered if there was a pizza god or goddess. If not, they really should make one. They would be more popular than even Jupiter. Actually, that's probably why there isn't one. Jupiter probably figured out that his popularity would be overruled. Even if that stupid god was probably dense. That idiot uncle of hers.

She followed him to his car. It was a tad unnerving how he was just constantly excited. She was used to more battle worn men she supposed, growing up in the legion. That and Remus was definitely battle worn and her best friend, Edmund tried to get by without having emotions, though she knew he had them because he showed them to her. All the other males she knew associated with the legion were just worn out too. They didn't always show it but they had the look in their eyes. "Hard to tell. You did just fight a girl. Pretty jerkish if you ask me." She teased as she got in on the passenger side of the vehicle.

"Though, honest question. Can I trust your driving or am I going to regret getting into the car with you?" She asked as she looked at him as if judging his ability to do anything just from his how he held himself. Not that she was judgmental but anyone looking at you in that manner had to have been unnerving. Though, it was too late even if he was a bad driver. She was already in the car with him and her life was now in his hands. That felt awkward. More unsettling than awkward. She was always the one in charge of her life, fighting back and keeping herself from dying. And her she was in a metal death trap with nothing she could really do at the moment.

There was something about this girl that made him really interested in what and who she was. Sure he had learned that she was a demi-god but that meant she had a godly parent. Which one was her parent? That would be something he wanted to find out, maybe not today but some day he planned on finding that out. Maybe if he tried really hard he’d be able to get it out of her without actually having to ask her about who her mother or father was. Once he made sure she was all cleaned and patched and he was all patched up he put everything back in the car and sighed, now it was time for food! Food would help them both heal up better and would give them a chance to talk and get to know one another better.

Laughing he shook his head and looked over at her. “You’re the one who said she could beat me in a fight. I just wanted to prove to you that we were even in a fight.” Which he did! He proved to her that without her power she was just as evenly matched against him as he was matched against her. Now he knew what he would be able to teach Bella when she was old enough to learn this stuff. A smile did form on his lips because he knew she was teasing him about it though. As he got in he smiled over to her and buckled up. Turning on the car once she was ready he gave her a teasing wink making it seem like he was indeed a bad driver.

“I can’t be a bad driver, if I was a bad driver I’d have to give Bella to my parents or someone because I don’t want to hurt her. So to answer your question, no I’m not a bad driver at all.” He wouldn’t risk being a bad driver, he had a little girl at home that needed him and he promised her he would be alive to always be there for her. Taking them down the highway he remembered the way to an amazing pizza shop. “I’m going to say sorry if the pizza isn’t up to par with what you’re used to at home.” Though this was an actual Italian run pizzeria so maybe, just maybe the pizza would be good enough for her.

[Deleted]

She just rolled her eyes at his response. Yeah yeah, she was just a stick in the mud because she lost. She had spent seven years tirelessly training in the Roman legion, even fought a war under the legion. THe second she had to volunteer for as she had already been discharged by then but still. One year of not having official training couldn't be hurting her this much, could it? For gods sake, she was in love with a son of Mars too, what if he started to lose interest in her because she couldn't even beat a stinking mortal. Some big three demigod she was. "Yeah, whatever." Was her reply to his first statement. She was a sore loser. And held grudges, oh well. No one said she was perfect and she thought herself far from it.

"For all I know you could be a bad driver when Bella is in the car and every other time you drive recklessly. I wouldn't put it past you, you do seem like the kind of person that would do that. Maybe was one of those bad boys in school." Felicity said with a hint of a smirk. She was just teasing him but in reality it wouldn't surprise her. Wasn't Venus one for bad boys? After all, everyone that had an inkling of the gods knew that Venus's main and true love was Mars and that they eloped every chance they got. Maybe that was one reason Felicity once thought Remus would end up with a Venus kid. Oh well, that was the past. She had far grown past that thought, thankfully.

"Nothing beats New Rome pizza. Trust me. Maybe Pizza Hut on a good day but that's only because I'm a huge fan of the taste of the cheese they used and I would have it all the time before the legion." Felicity said, though afterwards she found herself knitting her eyebrows. She wasn't lying, but it was just something she never really talked about, her time prior to the legion. It was mainly due to her and her mother being estranged now. Her mom had her own life now, another family. But if it wasn't for her, her mom never would have found her step-dad, after all, it was her former soccer coach. Oh well, maybe one day she'll visit again. Then again, she had been telling herself that for years now.
