Chapter 11
The Final Battle- II
"Daddy?" her feet halted. Her little brown eyes narrowed at this stunning change in her father's body. The man she was looking at right now was definitely not the man who'd closed his eyes in her arms that evening. He smelled familiar but...
"Yeah, it's me darlin'." Logan tried to convince his baby girl.
"Go ahead knifes, he's still your daddy." Victor gave an assuring smile.
Laura grinned widely and promptly ran into her father's arms. Logan fell at his knees and hugged his little angel so tightly even the air couldn't make space for itself between them at the moment. He kissed her temples, stroking her hair.
"Daddy missed you baby, daddy missed you so much." a couple of tears left the corners of his eyes.
Laura sobbed against his shoulder. "I missed you too, daddy."
"I know baby." Logan pulled off with a warm smile. His palms cupped her face. His thumbs wiped off the streaks of tears.
"Gawd I hate those melodramatic reunions." the fake disgust in his brother's voice pulled Logan's attention and suddenly he realized something-
"You know she's my daughter but you still brought her here, to fight those men along with you?" Logan shot up with a clenched jaw.
"Easy there Jimmy boy," Victor already raised his hands in surrender. "It's your girly who urged to come along."
Laura's jaw touched the floor. "What are you sayin', uncle Victor?!" she turned to her dad. "It's him who said it was gonna be fun."
"VICTOR?!" Before Logan's blades could jump out-
"Once again, easy there Jimmy, we both know the little terminator can handle tons of like them alone." Victor gave a canined grin.
"But how can you-"
Victor's tone suddenly turned stern. "Look I can answer all your goddamn questions later but for now, where's Claudine Renko?" before Logan could reply, the roar of a taking off chopper echoed in the air.
Creed's eyes roamed all around. "You know what to do, Jimmy." Logan nodded. "And I take down that little sinister whore."
Both brothers once again nodded at each other. With Victor's hasty storm out, Logan looked down at his daughter. "C'mon darlin', let's free all these people." as they both spun around to release all the unconscious prisoners, one of those cylindrical tubes started making a strange beep. The body inside it began started taking deep, long breaths. Before Logan could understand what the fuck was going on, the experiment jumped on the ground and landed on all fours by shattering his container. He opened his predatory eyes and glared at his preys.

Slashing Claudine's guards's throats during his little journey to the roof on all fours, Sabertooth finally reached up and saw Claudine's helicopter leave the terrace.
Claudine's eyes widened in horror as she saw him. "What is he doing here?! C'mon hurry, take this darned thing up right now!" she snarled at her men.
Sabertooth ran towards the chopper. He jumped on an empty drum that gave him a lift to make the biggest leap of his life. He swam through the air and caught the landing gear of the helicopter.
"Urghhh kill him!" Claudine barked at her soldiers. The guards started firing at their enemy that only pissed Sabertooth even more. With a back summersault, Sabertooth burst into the chopper. His claws wasted two guards with his entry and two in next 10 seconds. Claudine tried to blast him but before she could even blink, Sabertooth grabbed her throat and chokeslamed her to the metal floor of helicopter.
"Wanna try your little beams on me? Go ahead, that shit don't work on me, bitch!" his claws biting into the skin around her throat, a couple of streak of bloods streamed down her neck.
"Just a little more pressure and I'm gonna rip your little throat out and that's definitely gonna hurt so tell your pimp on the cockpit to take thing down or I.."
She whimpered. "Just do as he says, Ronald."
"Good bitch."

Another shock of the night.
"Y-You're alive?" Logan couldn't believe it. The man who killed his truest friend, Xavier, the man he and Laura killed with their own hands was brought back to life.
There was a vicious smile on the lips on that monster beneath the skin of a man. With a beastly roar he uhsheathed his claws and ran at Logan. Logan and Laura snikted out their blades. One high leap in the air and the clone pounced at Logan. He buried his claws into Logan's stomach. Logan snarled in pain and grabbed his wrists to push him off himself. Laura roared and jumped on the clone's back and hung onto his neck, giving his throat slash after bloody slash. X-24.2 yelped in pain.
"Let go of my daddy!" the little lioness roared.
The clone grabbed Laura's hair and pulled her off his back. A powerful kick in the gut tossed Laura into the chair near the desk. Logan snarled at the goddamn duplicate and kicked him off. Unlike last time, the clone's healing ability was also a match to Logan's. Both men quickly got back up to their feet and ran into each other again. Logan successfully held X-24.2's blades against his own. The friction of metals releasing sparks. Laura stood up again and drove her claws through the clone's stomach from behind. He howled in pain again and threw the girl away with a solid back kick. Now he had to take care of both ferals at the same damn time. Between all the kicks and punches, Logan wrapped his shackles around the clone's neck and signaled Laura to slash his stomach frantically. Each split on his internal organs was making his defense collapse against the double trouble. Blood flowing out of each slash. He was beginning to pant. He desperately needed to finish it soon. Collecting all his remaining strength, he gave a solid uppercut to Laura before slashing her throat. The girl collapses to the ground with a loud scream.
"Laura!" Logan's eyes widened in horror. X-24.2 took advantage of this big distraction and buried his claws into Logan's stomach. He also sank to the floor with a pained whimper. Oh shit, It bought the clone a long moment to pick up the Muramasa sword from the floor. He walked back to Logan. He pushed the point of sword into the skin of his chest, aiming for his heart.
"Get ready to die." After his first words, just as he tried to push the sword through Logan's heart with all his strength, a bullet ripped through his stomach from behind. The river of blood flew out of his tummy and the sword fell from his quivering hand.
"Nobady can kill mah Mate." Rogue's angry voice caused Laura and Logan's eyes to snap open.
"M-Marie.." a weak smile touched Logan's lips.
Now X-24.2 was really pissed. He turned his glare to his new enemy. The blades jumped out. He took a staggering step towards her.
"S-Stay away!" Marie fired another bullet as the warning that hit at his chest. He stumbled back a little bit but again straightened up and ran at Marie, Marie's quivering hands kept shooting at him until the bullets ran out. He leapt and raised his left hand's blades in air. Marie squeezed her eyes shut in horror. Just as they came down to cut Marie's head off, Laura shot up and holy shit, did something that broadened Marie's eyes in shock. She grasped his landing hand and activated her drain force, her second mutation she'd received three weeks ago.
X-24.2's face was a sample of painful shock at moment. His skin turned pale white as the thick, visible veins emerged on his face. A quivering gasp escaped his mouth. He slowly drifted his reddened glare to Laura. One kick to the neck and the shining knives hidden in Laura's shoe sliced his throat. Another river of blood flooded out of the giant slash and as the kick spun him around, Logan buried his Muramasa katana into his heart.
"Go to hell, FOREVER!"
The ancient iron defeated his healing completely. He stumbled back with a painful bewilderment on his face, his hands clutched at his bleeding wound before his whimpering frame collapsed to the floor.
"Logan.." Marie smiled widely, tears of joy in her eyes. He looked at her Marie and smiled back. His Marie was back, alive and out of control of that manipulative bitch, that's how he wanted to see her again.
He then looked down at Laura whose eyes were narrowed at Marie's face. The woman smelled strangely familiar to her.
Logan caught her confusion and smirked. "Go ahead darlin', she's your mother."
"M-Mother?" Laura and Marie, both asked stunnedly, not being able to believe what they'd just heard.
"Yes. Believe me." Logan tried to convince them both. "Go on." he gave an encouraging nod to Laura.
Laura took a nervous step ahead, eyes nervily raking over the woman in front of her. Her second step halted itself from moving forward, an uncertainty crept into her eyes.
All her doubts disappeared when Marie slowly extended her arms for her with a small, nervy smile. She didn't recognized the little girl but she trusted Logan and if he has she was their...
She'd have to believe it.
After all, Only her daughter could have what only she had in the world, her drain force.
Laura let out a wide smile and ran into Marie's arms. She wrapped her little arms around Marie's waist and in return, Marie hesitantly stroked her head. Logan walked over to his reunited family and enveloped his arms around it. He stroked Laura's back and kissed his Marie's temples. He knew he was crazy to think that but his new identity'd got him everything he ever wanted today.

"Feels good, doesn't it?" Victor's smirking question caused Logan to open his eyes. Both of his shoulders had turned into pillows for both of his sleeping ladies. Their chopper was now heading North towards their destination across the border. Banff, Canada.
Logan smirked back and tightened his arms around his girls. "Yeah, it does." he leaned back against the metal wall. "Ready to answer my questions?"
Victor also Leander back and crossed his arms behind his head. "Shoot."
"Where'd you get Laura?"
"Well, the woman Rictor talked on the phone across the border was actually Aks."
Logan's eyes widened. "Aks?"
"Yeah. Aks and I are running a little shelter-house named Elysium in Banff for all the remaining mutants of the world which was founded by SHIELD and its team of some 'Canadian Superheroes' named Alpha Flight five years ago."
"What? Fury is also involved in all of this?"
"Yup. Since Fury lost many of his mutant soldiers due to Legacy Virus, he'd started keeping an eye on Transigen's activities. He was sure Transigen is upto something with the survivors of virus. When he found out about Claudine's cloning program, he decided to save all those children. Going against the government under the ground, he gathered a team of some survivors and to your biggest surprise, made me the head of it. We have been keeping a large number of mutants out of the reach of Claudine and helping those who get successful in escape her hell for years."
"Another big question, how did you survive the virus? If the time I remember, those muttonchops were showing whiteness like me."
Victor smirked again. "That was until my factor overcame the virus. As we both know, I was Sinister's second attempt of fusing Adamantium onto a bone structure. But unlike yours, my healing factor was repeatedly rejecting the pure Adamantium. So the metal on my bones is actually an alloy of Adamantium and silver. Therefore, the virus couldn't rust my Adamantiumed bones for long."
"And Aks? She also kicked virus's ass?"
"Hell yeah." a fanged grin. "Our Cub's class six mutancy saved her."
"That's something I really wanna know, how did ya keep your unique Cub off Claudine's radar?"
Creed uncrossesd his arms and leaned forward. He once again bared his canines in a very smug grin. "That red eyed hoe is not the only one with high contacts. Doin' SHIELD's dirty work behind the curtain comes with alotta benefits."
"We're ready to land." the pilot informed the ferals. Logan woke up Marie and Laura.
"We're finally home." Laura gave a broad grin.

The chopper landed in the vast, fenced lawn of Victor's luxurious mansion where Logan had seen a small cabin last time. Creed's Mate, Aks hastily came out as she heard the chopper.
"Mornin' babe." Victor promptly closed the distance between their bodies and captured her lips in a passionate kiss.
She pulled off grinningly. "Your wide smile says you brought him back."
He grinned back. "Hell yeah."
"Hey darlin'." it was like a dream. Hearing his good, old, husky voice after so many years, it definitely felt like a dream. She finally saw him get off the helicopter with his little family. Her eyes broadened in pleasant surprise as she saw him back in his youthful glory.
"Aunt Aks!" Laura squealed in joy and ran into her arms.
She pulled away and bumped her head against the little girl's grinningly. "You okay, munchkins?"
She grinned back. "Yeah I'm fine, where is Rictor and Meera?"
"They're on breakfast table, waiting hard for you but before that," she caught Laura's hand and walked over to her parents.
She hugged Logan heartily. "Never thought I was going to see that handsome face ever again."
Logan pulled off with a smile. "You also look as beautiful as you ever have."
She now turned to her old friend, Marie. "Missed you so much." both women embraced each other tightly, tears wetted their eyelashes.
"Missed you too, Aksy."
"Well well well, and I never thought I was going to see those spikes ever again." a familiar grin from behind.
"And I never thought I was going to see that ugly eyepatch ever again." Logan grinned back and hugged the old friend, the director of the SHIELD- Nichols Joseph "Nick" Fury.
"What the hell are you doin' here?"
"Just came to see one of my greatest friends back from the grave, by the way where is my prisoner?"
"In the helicarrier. Caliban and Nathan are bringin' her along with all other mutants."
"She's finally under SHIELD's thumb after years. Gotta give a big thanks to Xavier for that."
Logan's eyebrows drew close. "Xavier?"
Fury turned his neck to Victor who was standing against the pole of a swing with crossed arms and legs, scrunching his nose at another melodramatic reunion.
He gave a careless shrug. "I forgot."
Nick faced Logan again. "Logan, Xavier's alive."
Logan felt like someone'd pulled the ground under his feet off. "C-Charles is alive?"
"Yes. His powerful entity was trapped in that sick, old body of his. His death by the hands of that duplicate of yours freed it. It then chose a brain dead person's body. He tried to find you through telepathy but Transigen'd secured its ground with telepathy blocking devices. He finally controlled one of its worker's mind and stepped in. He was the one who informed us about Claudine's dirty little game on you and Marie."
Logan let out a big, relived sigh. A big burden of his friend's death was removed from his chest today. "Is he here?"
"Nope but will be here after my call."
"No need of that. I'm sure baldy must be seein' all this drama through his mind." Creed snorted.
Aks laughed. "Save some talks for breakfast table, guys. C'mon let's go inside."
Logan smiled. He wrapped his arms around his girls and stepped towards the mansion.
