A/N: SORRY….. for taking this too long. I've been busy…. So… anyway, I hope you like this one :D
Waking up on a cold hard floor with a sore neck is never a good sign. His eyes fluttered open trying to clear his blurry vision. The first thing he saw was a ceiling, a metal ceiling, which he found it very odd. He took a few sniff of his surroundings to make sure there wouldn't be any more surprises for him. All that he could smell was a stinky and metallic smell. Thinking that everything was safe, he sat up while rubbing his sore neck. He looked around to his new surroundings hoping to find a way for an escape. As he tries to stand up, he notice for the first time that his clothes are gone except for his boxers.
Ignoring the fact that he was practically half naked, he focuses on his escape. In front of him he saw a toilet with a sink, which explains the stinky smells, but then it brought another question to mind, 'why are they all metal? Even the mirror which is above the sink is metal. He can be very sure that it all made out of adamantium, but why? Did they actually expect him to break it just to piss them off? That is just stupid. Forgetting about the weird metal for a while, he looked to his right and there was a lumpy bunker, while on his left, there was nothing except for a metal wall. Well, he wouldn't be surprise if behind him was made out of metal as well.
He was actually quite surprise actually, because there wasn't anything there. No wall and no door, just an empty hallway in front of him. 'Something is not right about this' he thought, even his instincts screaming it out. He walked closer to the hallway thinking that maybe there's an invisible force field or something. But then he stopped a feet away from entering the hallway and took a sniff to be sure of it, but he couldn't smell anything. So he held out his hands to be very, very sure about it. There was nothing there but air. This is too weird. He was captured, dump into a stinky metal cell with no door, as if they wanted him to escape. Could it be a trap? But it can't be, because he is already captured. Maybe it is some sort of game. Or maybe they are just too stupid. Well, they are stupid for capturing him in the first place.
He walked out into the hallway and wondering which way to go, left or right? He didn't know, so, he follows his nose, literally. He follows his old scent that had brought him here, because it will lead him out of this place. And it's telling him to go right, that is exactly what he did. As he kept following his nose, he could not stop thinking that this is just too easy, he feels like a rat following the scent of a cheese in a miniature maze. He didn't know what kind of game he is playing, but he got a sinking feeling that he's going to find out soon enough, and he is not so sure if he wants to find out about it.
He has been walking in this empty hallway for nearly five minutes without bumping into a guard or even entered any rooms at all. That is until his scent brought him to this big bulky door. It seems that he had been in that room before. This must be the big boss's office. With a quirked eye brow, he entered the room – after making sure that the room was empty by taking a few sniff. He entered the room as silent as a mouse – he kind of feels like a mouse actually, a mouse walking straight into some kind of a trap – shut the door and lock it behind him. Just as he thought, the office was empty. Now, he couldn't help but think why he was in this room before. The office was just another typical everyday office you see in some big, successful building. There was this fancy desk, with a flat screen computer and a few stationeries on it, a huge leather office chair across the table. There was also a small file cabinet at the corner of the room. When he saw that cabinet, he saw an opportunity. An opportunity for him to find out a few things, like the people he is dealing with now and what kind of trouble are they looking for. Even if he couldn't get to kill them today, he can hunt them later during his spare time – that would be fun – and also find out where Scott is because he didn't get a whiff of smell of that guy – even if they were separated, they must have at least been dragged together.
When he was about to open the cabinet, he heard the door knob being twisted several times, someone was trying to open the door. He got to go fast, but where? There was no window, the air vent was to small for him to crawl in, and the ceiling was made of cement. Once he heard the sound of a rattling keys, he quickly stand next to the door as his claws slide out slowly and quietly from both of his hands so that they would not be able to hear the sound of the 'snikt'. With the sound of a 'click' the door was unlock and he saw the door knob being twisted very slowly as if its trying to control it's squeaking. They already knew someone was in here. The door was being pushed open just about a few inches wide and stopped. His instinct was telling him that everything about this is not right. Just as he thought that, the door was 'slammed' open towards him, but he manages to dodge away from being slam, just barely. But his opportunity for an escape is gone because ten armed soldiers were aiming their machine guns on him.
"Ah, I knew you would find your way. Now Wolverine put those away I just want to talk" the voice was coming from behind the soldiers, it was the Colonel.
Logan just growled and he did what he was told. Not because of those ten soldiers, or the Colonel's shooting skill, no, it is because he wanted to get some answers from him. So he slid back his claws, "who are you and what do you want with me and Scott?"
When the Colonel saw Logan unsheathe his claws, he instructed his men to leave. He then walk towards his chair, "please sit down" he invited Logan.
Logan didn't respond to that, he just stood there clenching his hands.
"Suit yourself" said the Colonel.
"Who are you?"
"You know, I have always found you fascinating. There are just so many similarities"
"Similarities?"
"This is why you are just too easy to predict"
"It has all been a plan hasn't it?"
"Of course, you and I both know that it can't be that easy
"This whole thing is just a game for you, just to entertain yourself"
"Not all of it, just the part where you escape from your cell. It was very entertaining for me and my boys"
"You're sick"
"You sound so surprise? This is what you would have done if you were in my shoes"
"I wouldn't"
"Are you sure? You don't even know what kind of person you were. But I do, I know everything there is to know about you" there was this sickening grin on his face that made Logan want to just scrape it out of his face. "I feel as if we grew up together like you were my own brother" he continued.
"Brother my ass. I'd rather chew my head off if I had a brother like you. Now, enough of this blabbering and tell me who you are, what you want from me and Scott and where you put him!"
"You have always been impatient" he just sighs. "My name is not important, since you have already forgotten it in the first place, but you could call me Colonel or Sir or whatever"
"How about shit-head" he said with a straight face.
The Colonel didn't say anything, he just grinds his teeth and Logan can hear it, "AND… as for your friend, Scott, he isn't here right now, but you will see him soon if he finishes his mission early…."
"Woh, what mission? Why the hell would he even consider working for you?" the Colonel just gives an evil smile, "you fucked up his mind like you did me didn't you" it wasn't a question, because he knew that is exactly what he did.
"You see, that is another reason why I like you. You are just not about muscle; you got brain too, unlike that big pussy cat"
"You're planning on using us to do your dirty lil' works aren't you?"
"What I'm going to do with you two, you will find that out yourselves soon enough, because I'm not going to ruin the surprise for you" Logan didn't like the sound of that at all. "Now, I believe our conversation is over", just as he said that Logan unsheathe his claws.
He was going to kill that man, right there and then. Of course that was the plan until a whole bunch of armed soldier barged in ready to blow his heads off. Ten against one is very unfair, but he likes the odd because he knows that he can handle them easily, no sweat.
"Go ahead, kill them all, and even me. I know you can" this caught Logan by surprise, why is he so confident? He definitely got something up his sleeves. "You want to be free right? But then, if you kill us your dear friend will die too. So, you have two choices, you could either be free by killing us all and loose your dear friend Scott, or you could give up your freedom and your friend will get the chance to live, yet another day"
Logan got to handed to him, the guy was good, and he doesn't like it. Sure he can handle this situation easily, but he wasn't about to put Scott at risk. So, he unsheathes his claws, but he was very angry, even at Scott for putting him in this position. When a soldier came closer to him to push him out of the room, Logan growled at him in a threatening manner that it scares the soldiers and made some of them took a step backward away from him.
"You know…" Logan turned his attention towards the Colonel to hear what he had to say, "… I'm very disappointed with you. From all the things you have done, I would have thought you would choose to kill us and take your chances with Scott. But instead, you chose to save your friend's lives. I guess it is just a minor little flaw, nothing that we can't fix" the last words kind of gave him the shivers. He didn't know for sure what he would do to him, but he got a sinking and familiar feeling that he isn't going to like it. But now he knows the game he had played, it wasn't about the game at all; it is more like a research, to make sure that their little weapons is still perfect after all this years, and if it is not ….
'Bang!' a gun shot was heard, then a volt of electricity flow through his body and he saw darkness. Logan then was dragged out of the office by all of the soldiers. But before they leave, the Colonel gave them an instruction that he wanted them to do, "I want you to bring in Miss Charlotte". The soldiers gave one last salute and left.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ten minutes later a knock from the door was heard, "come in" he said while leaning into his chair. The door was open and came in a tall, slim young woman with long blonde hair, wearing a doctor's coat with thick glasses.
"You wanted to see me sir?" asked the doctor.
"Ah, yes, Miss Charlotte. Come, sit down" he invited her.
She walked towards the empty chair across from him but her eyes never left the ground. Oh, she was scared, it was obvious. She can tell the Colonel was angry with her from his stern look.
"Can I ask who invented the 'magical' serum that can control the most uncontrollable guy in the world?" he said in a surprisingly calm and sweet voice.
She cleared her throat before answering, "Um, I did sir"
"So, you are the genius. The smart one in the group, right?"
"Well, I don't know about the genius, but I guess I'm quite smart"
"so…" his calm voice change instantly into a high, furious voice that made her jump of her seat, "then why the hell did Logan woke up from the serum before he was supposed to!"
"I… umm…"
"Do you have any idea what that would have cost us? Our whole plan could be ruin because of 'your' little mistake! Those freaks, those psychics could have sense they were in trouble and come to the rescue, and we would have lost our biggest project ever! That is why I bought the bar which is by the way in shambles!" he wanted to yell some more to this woman, but when he saw her cried, he stopped, "oh, sweetheart, I'm sorry; it's just that it was a very crucial moment. We cannot afford any mistakes, you know that"
"Yeah, I know James. But I have calculated the exact amount that Wolverine needed, more than once" she said in a sobs.
"Then what happened?"
"I don't know. Although, it is possible that Wolverine's healing factor has grown over the years, because the serum was perfect, I have tested it on Sabretooth along time ago"
"His healing factor grown is it? Hmm…" he thought, "I want you to be in charge of checking his mutation. I want his whole medical report. I want to know what has change from before. You still have his old medical report, right?"
"Of course James"
"Alright then, I'll see you at dinner. I'm sorry sweetheart"
"It's ok" she said as she wiped away her tears and smiled before she said goodbye to her dear boyfriend.
