Beauty and the Wolverine

Chapter 1 FIRST ENCOUNTERS

"There are human life signs on the planet Captain!" Ensign Harry Kim called from behind his console.

"How could any one live in these conditions?" The Captain asked.

"They are faint, one human male." Harry's tone changed slightly.

"Beam him to sickbay" she mashed her combadge then spoke, "Janeway to the Doctor."

"Yes Captain?" The EMH was busying himself in sickbay.

"We are transporting a patient to you now, use extreme caution it looks as though the Hirogen have been hunting him and they haven't had much luck. There are many already dead on the planets surface."

"Great... Doctor out," the EMH prepared for his patient.

"Energize." Janeway instructed Ensign Kim.

"Transport completed Captain."

"Good, get us out of here Mister Paris." She looked at her Helmsman.

"Aye, Aye Captain" the young blonde man plotted his course.

Down in sick bay the Doctor had erected a forcefield immediately around the large man that was beamed aboard, the doctor moved closer to him with his tricorder to get a better look the man appeared to be unconscious. Now observing his injuries the doctor began to scan his new patient he reached for a hypospray when the man started to stir, the doctor noticed that the man was rapidly healing on his own.

"Amazing," he said to himself temporarily forgetting the hypospray.

Just then, three sharp knives protruded from the man's knuckles; if the doctor had been made of flesh and blood he would have been beheaded, both of the men were surprised but for different reasons. The doctor tried to calm his patient but it proved ineffective, in a huff the EMH charged through the forcefield and hailed his captain.

While explaining the need for security to the captain the large man ran into the forcefield, it didn't knock him back, but it didn't allow him to go any further, for that the doctor was grateful.

"Let me out of here!" Over the Con Janeway could hear the deep raspy growl of the man the doctor was concerned for.

"Sir! Please remain calm we are trying to help you," the doctor explained as security moved into position.

"I'm in a CAGE!" He was furious, "you will not do any tests on me!"

"You are correct. No one will be doing any tests." Kathryn Janeway entered the room and the large man stopped his attack on the forcefield and looked at her. He could tell she was their leader just by the way she held herself and the reactions of the others in the room. In fact the air seemed to stand still as soon as she walked in.

"Our doctor was only trying to help you... It looks like you are ok now, we were under the impression you were injured." Her small frame stood tall in front of him. Her arms straight down at her sides one of her hands relaxed the other moving subtly to put emphasis on her words.

"I ordered you to be transported from the surface because we know the Hirogen very well if they are hunting you they will not stop until you're dead... however long that might take... " she noticed the blood and dirt covering the man in front of her. Her strong voice demanded attention, he watched her eyebrow arched when she spoke the last sentence. "However many lives are sacrificed."

"Let me out of here," he growled. He was not afraid of her and had no intentions of being held captive, but there was something about this woman that put him at ease, but he was unwilling to give in at this very moment.

Her head tilted slightly, "retract your claws" the corner of her mouth turned up faintly, but it was the sparkle in her eyes that sent goosebumps throughout the rugged man's body.

The sound of scraping metal filled the room as the blades disappeared impressively into the man's hands. Janeway nodded to one of her officers and the forcefield dissipated.

"Thank you, Miss...? " the man's voice softened.

"Captain Kathryn Janeway, you are on the Federation starship Voyager, Mr...?"

"Logan... just Logan ," he smiled. "Thanks for the lift... " Logan held out his hand and she grasped it with her own. The thought had occurred to her that three large lethal objects lay dormant in the hand she willingly took hold of. Tuvok noticed too because he had moved closer very quickly. But she was not concerned there was something genuine about this man, she just knew it.

He was strong, she felt it in his grip and saw it in his shapely arms she let her eyes rake over his large solid chest down to his hard abdomen and over to his smooth buttocks. Her eyes linger over his body taking in the man before her, he was filthy and sweaty. Kathryn caught herself before letting her mind wander too far she tried to regain her composure and act natural.

"We would like to help you return home, you are welcome to clean up first; get settled, I imagine the Hirogen will not be pleased with me," she smiled, the two noticed that they hadn't released the others hand. Janeway loosened her grip and Logan did the same, but neither one had completely let go of the other. "We can meet in the conference room in one hour. This is Commander Chakotay," she called to the man who Logan hadn't noticed. "Would you please show Logan our guest quarters?"

"Of course captain." Chakotay smiled at Logan and the Captain dropped his hand and positioned it on her hip.

"Thank you Captain," Logan was sincere as he followed Chakotay out of sickbay. He turned only to confirm his suspicions that he was being watched, and it didn't bother him at all.

The Captain stayed behind after she dismissed her security officers. She instructed them to treat Logan as a guest and to notify Tuvok of any concerns they might have in regards to their new friend.

"Captain, I insist we keep a closer eye on Mr. Logan," the tall Vulcan had noticed the interaction that his captain had with the stranger. In all his years with her he had never known her to appear taken by an individual or place as much trust as she had in such a hostile visitor.

"No Tuvok, Commander Chakotay will do fine. I don't feel as though he is a threat and I bet he is sick of being treated like a prisoner." She sounded far away and deep in thought. "He is not from around here, he's a survivor. Did you notice his clothes? They were filthy, covered in dirt and blood. He only demanded freedom from us, nothing else. He's been running for long time…"

"Perhaps there is good reason for his treatment," Tuvok made his final argument.

"I don't believe that Tuvok." Her eyes were fixed on her hand. Her memories of the strange man lingered and she could still feel his hand in hers. Tuvok left her standing in sick bay lost in thought.

The doctor took her lingered presence as an invitation to reveal the information acquired in his scans.

"Captain?" The holographic doctor was slightly annoyed that the captain did not seem to be paying any attention to him. "This is important information!"

"I hear you doctor, regenerating metal man..." Janeway sighed and inaudibly mumbled, "Hard and smooth like metal."

"Captain?" The doctor was confused by what he thought he heard.

She shook her head; this man had her thinking things she hasn't thought in quite a long time. She admitted to herself that she was distracted by him.

"Doctor I'll see you in the conference room. Perhaps Logan will tell us a little bit more about himself. Please keep the information you found in your scans to yourself for now."

Janeway headed for her ready room she needed to clear her mind before this meeting.

OOOOOOO

"Chakotay is it?" Logan asked

"Yes. Commander Chakotay, Captain Janeway's first officer."

"She is ..." Logan was not sure why he wanted to say what was on his mind so he stopped himself just in time.

"Yes?" Chakotay notice his loss of words.

"...Nice," he knew it was ridiculous as soon as he said it.

Chakotay smiled, "Yes, she is nice it is one of the many honorable traits she has." Chakotay examined the man in front of him, he was poorly groomed and looked like a mess however he didn't appear to be tired at all.

Logan didn't say anything else he only nodded his head in agreement; Chakotay showed him to his assigned quarters and helped him operate their technology he waited for Logan to get settled. With his clothing refreshed and the blood and grime lifted from his body Logan was ready to see the beautiful woman with the intense blue eyes once again.

He looked over at Chakotay.

"Are you ready?" he asked the man sitting comfortably and patiently. Chakotay stood up and they headed for the bridge.

Logan decided that he liked the commander. Although he seemed kind and intelligent Logan suspected that Commander Chakotay could pack a punch. The Commander was handsome and built tough but he didn't make Logan feel unwelcome at all. He found that strange because where he is from humans can be very unwelcoming towards mutants. The more he thought about it the more he wondered. These people were unlike any humans he knew. They were unlike any species he had come in contact with since he found himself in this strange space. He looked over at his new friend and smiled.

"You really think you guys can get me back home?"

"We will certainly try our best. Once you explain how you got here to the Captain-"

Logan was guilty at this point of not paying attention. He was lost in thought at the merest mention of the captain, he admittedly has a thing for strong independent women, his female friends back home had many of the same qualities of this particular woman. She's intelligent, confident and quick a solid leader and her crew has respect for her, he noticed no one spoke the whole time she was talking with him. They trust her. This woman was charming and he looked forward to getting to know her better. Logan had been around a long time he noticed Kathryn Janeway he was very aware of her. It was hard not to be especially while her eyes burned a trail around his body, this woman's passion runs deep and he was very interested in her interest in him.

Suddenly the ship shook violently throwing the two men at the walls of the turbo lift.

"Red alert, Battle Stations!" Janeway's voice echoed throughout the ship.

Logan followed Chakotay out of the lift and onto the bridge to find Kathryn Janeway already confronting a large Hirogen on the view screen.

"We will not turn him over to be hunted by your men. Perhaps we could make a trade for his freedom."

"Captain" the Hirogen hissed with distaste. "I am tired of your constant interference! You have proven to -"

"End transmission," She turned to Tuvok then to Tom. "Disable his ship and get us the hell out of here... NOW" She was sick of them pushing her around, just because she could easily be out numbered by them she treaded water when Voyager encountered them, well not today! She could handle the one ship and deal with the rest later.

"Aye Captain" was heard from every station on the bridge. She crossed the bridge when the objective was completed. The ship was disabled and she glanced at the smoking hunk of metal on her view screen as it disappeared.

"Mr. Kim?"

"No signs of any ships" Harry was prompt with the information she wanted.

"Keep watching the long range scans."

Kathryn Janeway was pacing her ready room rambling to an audience that consisted of three men. She was aggravated with the current situation but Chakotay knew that she was, for lack of a better word, frisky.

"MY interference! Those... those...BASTARDS are the ones who ransacked MY ship and tortured MY crew how many times?" Chakotay smiled at Logan who wore a similar grin. Logan read the command team's body language very well. Tuvok was a different story he looked over at the expressionless man. Logan turned his attention to the fiery woman in front of him, bewildered, this woman was relentless and cocky and there was only one thing that crossed his mind.

He whispered to Chakotay "I think I'm in love."

"What's not to love?" Chakotay winked playfully at his new friend.

"Commander, MISTER Logan" the captain was pissed but the banter between the two men at her expense was amusing and she was unable to keep a straight face.

The two men straightened in mock fear and cracked at the smile on her face as she shook her head. Tuvok was... well... Tuvok.

The meeting in the conference room with the senior staff was going well except that they had no idea how to get Logan back to his reality. The X-Men along with other things did not exist in their Earth's history or in the present time. Logan explained to them all he could about the X-Men, mutants and his universe.

"Wolverine" Janeway smiled "I like it." she cocked her head slightly to the side and raise an eyebrow he was now very fond of.

Logan was shocked as he felt heat rise to his cheeks. 'Blushing! Oh if the guys could see him now Ice man would have a field day! The mighty wolverine lit up like an easy bake oven!'

"I have no idea how long I 've been here it has been months I'm sure, but I don't know where I emerged... I was out riding my motorcycle when ZAP! I was on some vessel."

"The Hirogen?" Chakotay asked.

"No I was sold to them, this was a different species I don't think I would be able to identify them I could barley see them... I was locked in a dark room, but I got the impression they had no idea where I came from nor did they care. They were afraid of me, after of course they provoked me trying to torture me for information and such."

"Indeed," the Vulcan voiced his thoughts to the group.

"Wait a minute." Tom moved in closer to Logan with a serious expression. "You're telling us that you were driving a motorcycle!" He threw his hands up "So cool!" he smiled at his disapproving girlfriend who couldn't hide her amusement.

Tom managed a bit of comic relief for the moment and after careful consideration a conclusion was made.

"Logan you are welcome to stay with us" the Captain was looking directly into his eyes and there was a long pause as the two drifted in thoughts about each other.

*Ahem* Chakotay cleared his throat in attempted to bring the captain back without anyone else noticing and it might have worked. Janeway continued to speak however the two did not break eye contact.

"We could find something for you to do around here if you don't mind being cooped up on this small ship or following my command."

"I owe you my life Captain. I respect you and your crew. I will accept your offer to stay; I will do whatever I can."

OOOOOOO

Weeks went by and Captain Janeway worked hard to avoid being alone with Logan . She enjoyed his company and found him to be very pleasant even when he was being sarcastic and she found his humor a bit dry. The problem was not with him but with herself. It had been a long time since Kathryn was romantically interested in a man and she was well aware that he was interested in her too. It had been a long time since Kathryn had been looked at the way Logan looked at her, hungry. She was a woman and he was very much a man, just the type of man she could allow herself to get a little reckless with. The two flirted at every opportunity usually making others in the room laugh. The playful nature of the captain was common to the senior staff but her behavior did have some of them wondering.

"So it isn't just me then?" B'Elanna asked her boyfriend and their friend.

"Oh no, I have defiantly noticed," Tom told them, the three were crouched together at a small table in the mess hall.

"The Captain is just being friendly. She would never get involved with a member of her crew." Harry reasoned with them.

"But he isn't a member of her crew! Let's face it Janeway is not made of wood and that man is showing a very real interest in her. Not to mention he is HOT!" B'Elanna fanned herself to emphasize the effect Logan was having on the female population among the crew.

Logan's popularity among the crew was overwhelming. He spent a lot of time alone or with Chakotay and Captain Janeway. He was often approached to spend time with other crew members but he declined any offers too personal but was almost always willing to partake in any group gatherings. He was just never one for a lot of social interaction and he wasn't interested in getting involved with anyone except maybe one woman, the only woman he couldn't seem to get alone. His time with the Captain was delightful and normal of all things. He enjoyed both her and Chakotay's company. It could be considered a good thing that he didn't spend anytime alone with the captain because he had feelings for her and found it difficult even in the presence of the commander not to be a little inappropriate..

"If you two even try, I will have you both tossed out an airlock!" Janeway exclaimed one night at dinner.

"Really? If you do that then who's ass are you gonna stare at?" Logan asked in mock concern.

With out missing a beat Janeway quipped "Fine, Chakotay can stay... I need him for the duty roster anyway."

Logan was convinced that now wasn't a good time to test the waters in this relationship, but he had definite plans to do so. He felt content to remain on Voyager because even with his anti-social nature, It was very easy for Logan to fall into step with the rest if the crew. These humans were nonjudgmental of him and had no interest in how he worked to serve their interest they simply embraced him and welcomed him as one of their own. Captain Janeway was a fair and pleasant woman she reminded him of Professor Xavier a leader he admired and respected back home. Logan was content to travel with these people to their home world. He had pledged his allegiance to the Captain two weeks ago and he never makes promises he can't keep.

Logan was at her door now for dinner, alone.

"Logan, where is Chakotay?"

"He was on his way here with me when he was called away, he suggested we eat with out him."

"Very well then, come on in." The captain was still in her uniform the last week had been exhausting. The crew had undergone quite a few attacks and experienced some strange phenomenon they hadn't been able to understand. The recuperation process was taking longer then Captain Janeway had hoped.

Dinner went well. The captain took this opportunity alone with Logan to find out how he was doing adjusting to life on a spaceship.

"Honestly Captain the situations you and your crew have been in have kept me busy just observing and lending a hand when I can, but I'm a little bit restless, the holodeck has helped me tremendously. It also helps that your crew is so friendly and engaging. I can't say that I'm not enjoying myself because I am but I want to help. I can't sit back and watch much longer. I need to be a part of this crew somehow."

Kathryn touched his hand lightly. "We will find something for you I promise. I am sure Tuvok could use your help. He is always looking for strong men."

OOOOOOO

The next morning Kathryn Janeway stepped into the conference room and greeted her senior staff along with Neelix and Logan. Logan had been present at the morning meetings in hope that he would to be able to lend a hand any way possible.

"We are going to need a bigger table" she observed.

Harry briefed the senior staff. There is a planet about 100 light years from their current position. The planet is rich in resources and the mines are full of rare minerals they could use for many of Voyager's systems.

"Tom, set a course. Harry, do a thorough scan of the planets surface as we get closer. Mr. Tuvok, Logan and I will accompany you and a team to the surface. You're dismissed." Janeway wanted to go down on the planet with the away team because it was Logan 's first time off the ship.

Scans of the planets surface showed no life signs of any kind and the initial search of the planet went well. Janeway and Ensign Kim left Logan and Tuvok, taking the other officers to mine the dilithium deposits deep in the cave. Tuvok and Logan began a thorough search of the caves for a second time.

Mining the dilithium was going well, however Captain Janeway felt the hair on her neck stand on end. There were people in the cave with them and they were watching her. She discretely looked around but didn't see anyone, but her instincts told her otherwise.

"Harry" she called over the young ensign. Leaning down she pretended to show him something interesting. "We are being watched. I have a terrible feeling about our admirers I don't think it would be wise to engage them. Tell Lieutenant Thomas to pack up and take the others out of the cave and contact Voyager. We need to find Tuvok."

"Yes Captain." Harry caught on acting as natural as possible.

"Janeway to Tuvok" No answer.

"Janeway to Tuvok, please respond." No answer, just as she had expected.

Harry approached his Captain. "The away team is ready to depart Captain. I tried hailing Commander Tuvok out side of the cave with no luck." What he didn't tell her is what she already knew. Chakotay would send extra security down to the planet in order to help recover Tuvok and Logan.

"Excellent, Harry," she started toward the opening of the cave. Her plan was to meet with the other officers and have a better look around.

Janeway and Kim were ambushed before she could finish her sentence.

The young ensign and his captain fought the first few men successfully but eventually they were overcome, the men were large and barbaric they looked similar to caveman and that carried large clubs that were used to beat Janeway and Kim unconscious.

Janeway awoke in what felt like a makeshift bed somewhere in the cave. It was dark and reeked of sweat and body odor. The Captain could feel that her arms and legs were bound together. She could hear arguing in the distance that her internal translator couldn't decipher. Careful not to alert anyone that she was awake she peaked at her surroundings. Harry was about twenty feet away from her, he was sitting with his arms and legs bound, awake and looking around he noticed that she was awake but was careful not to pay her any attention. Kathryn worked on the binds confining her wrists behind her back she noticed the subtle movements Harry was making, she realize he was working on the ropes binding him too. She managed to free her hands 'Easy enough' she though to herself however as soon as she'd move to untie her legs she knew the men would notice her.

Kathryn Janeway was nervous. She had a terrible feeling in her gut. Harry was moving too much and he was drawing attention to himself, the men headed in his direction and it didn't look like they were interested in talking. Kathryn moved slowly to the tie around her ankles and worked quickly to untie her extremely sore legs she quickly examined her deformed ankles and she realized that they must be broken, they had broken her legs so that she can't run and she bet Harry's were broken too. She noticed their phasers and tricorders were set off to the side close to her position. The primitive humanoids that inhabited this cave must not understand what they are or how the phasers work. She slipped of the bed and tried to stand in a dark corned of the cave. She felt a shouting pain travel up her legs and her knees buckled unexpectedly causing her to hit the hard dirt.

'Stupid.' she thought to herself. The beating Harry was taking was so severe her fall went unnoticed.

She continued to crawl on the ground toward the phasers. Scenarios played out in her mind as to what she would do once she retrieved her weapon. She was certain that there was no way the two of them were going to get out of this with out help but she couldn't stand hearing the sounds of the clubs beating down on the young ensign any longer, his screams had stopped yet their captives weren't letting up. Janeway was afraid they would beat him to death if he wasn't dead already, she shuttered at the thought.

She stood up on her knees as tall as she could, pain was shouting throughout her limbs. She aimed her phaser at the crowd of men; just then, out of the corner of her eye a man came into view so fast she was uncertain it was a man at all until she saw three familiar medal claws dig into the chest of one of Harry's attackers. The crowd quickly turned to Logan ... Wolverine trying to overpower him however their efforts were worthless. Logan tore though each of them with ease. Her mouth was open wide in amazement and terror at the sight. She had only then noticed Tuvok shooting his phaser in effort to clear a path to retrieve Harry.

"Harry? Are you alright? Where is Captain Janeway?" Logan interrogated the barley conscious ensign. "Harry?" He spoke softer to Harry and brushed the hair from his face.

Harry pointed to the unoccupied bed where Kathryn once laid bound. There was a rage Kathryn had never seen in any man as he leaped off Harry to a semiconscious man Wolverine had finished with.

"Where is she?" Wolverine pulled at the man's robes and lifted him in the air His claws still ready for action. "What did you do with her you-"

"Logan, I'm here," Kathryn spoke up from beyond the bed where she could barely be seen. She was afraid for the man Logan was holding up.

"Captain! Are you alright?" He dropped the man, and Kathryn heard a loud thud and Logan was at her side lifting her off the ground.

She looked over where Harry lay. Tuvok picked Harry up and guided him up over his shoulder.

"Mr. Logan, we will need to get them out of this cave immediately."

Logan nodded his agreement to the Vulcan security chief. "They're coming."
