Weapon Beta

Xavier Institute courtyard

Wolverine sat sunbathing out in the courtyard of the institute. He took a drink of his large glass of beer and sighed. He was weighing decisions. Ororo had just asked him if he wanted to accompany her to her trip back to Kenya. Meanwhile, Sean Cassidy was returning to Ireland with Moria McTarrget. He had asked Logan to come along. Wolverine jerked out of his thoughts, or was more like pulled out of them. "Yes Prof.?" he asked. "We have a message for you, from Canada," the professor replied. "Canada!" Wolverine shot up and ran to the communications room. The screens were black, but there was a voice speaking. "Wolverine, we would like to talk to you. You had left us and now we want you back. Go to the abandoned stadium at 3:00 sharp, in the afternoon." "What do you think, Prof.?" Logan asked. "Go, but take Colossus with you. I'll be in telepathic touch with you. Ask now."

Colossus's room

Logan knocked on Piotr's door. "Come in," Piotr replied. Wolverine stepped in. "Hey Russian, I got a meetin at the old stadium. Prof wants you to cover for me. OK."

"Whatever you say Comrade."

Abandoned Stadium

Logan walked into the stadium. Instantly he saw them, standing out in red and white uniforms. "Great," he thought, "The Canadian Government." A man came forward and shook Logan's hand. "Good to have you back," It was his old friend, Jimmy, now Weapon Alpha. "Sit down, Logan. We have matters to discuss." "Now Logan," another man said, "We have one thing to tell you. We want you back, as Weapon Beta."
