Logan

Claws of Rebirth

A/N: I saw the film earlier this year, still haven't looked at the Blu-ray I have of it, but this idea suddenly came to mind about how to remedy my awfulness towards the ending. Here goes.

Nobody ever found the grave. There wasn't even a mention of a grave. To anyone that would even see it someday, it would just be a pile of rocks with a pair of sticks made to look like an "X", not a grave with a body in it.

Suddenly, the rocks rumbled, some of them falling over. The sticks fell backwards onto the ground.

BLAST! A hand burst free from rocks, sporting three, razor-sharp knives protruding from its knuckles, followed by another hand with the same number of knives.

A man struggled to crawl out of the grave. He looked like he was in his prime, with slicked-back, black hair and a gruff attitude. Only his clothes, a pair of pants and a tank top shirt, gave any indication that he was fine. They were ripped and bloody, but the rest of him was perfectly intact.

"Wha…what the Hell?" He questioned, looking at his arms and checking his torso. "But…I died."

He ran over to the wreckage of the vehicles used by the Reavers and found an intact mirror, which he used to examine his face. Based on looks alone, he must've looked the way he did back when he first met the Professor and the X-Men…and even before that time, in his prime.

"But I must've died," he told himself. "I felt I was dying…and I wasn't healing. How is this possible?"

"Mutation: It is the key to our evolution," he recalled the Professor and Jean saying every now and then to the students at the mansion years ago. "It has enabled us to evolve from a single-celled organism into the dominant species on the planet."

"This process is slow," he went on, chuckling, "normally taking thousands and thousands of years. But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward."

It had to be the reason he found himself alive again. Something in his mutation must've triggered after he died and took time to rework his body. If he had died, it was only temporarily and then he returned to life, looking unscathed. Probably upped his healing factor's efficiency, as well.

He unsheathed his right hand's claws and cut his left wrist…watching his new wounds close up fast.

"Holy shit," he gasped; none of his injuries had healed up that fast.

He sniffed the air and caught his daughter's scent…and followed the scent.

Evolution…never…stops…

A/N: Not sure if I should continue this, but I do feel better about Logan now. Say his body adapted after he died and he was able to return to life and now no longer has to worry about the Adamantium poisoning his body?
