~ In The Past ~

Thanks to the help of divers, Logan, looking like a drowned rat, is lifted out of the Potomac River and placed on a boat. On the boat, someone hidden behind a newspaper reads the headlines "Mutant Saves President and Cabinet" and "Trask Arrested For Selling Military Secrets".

One of the cops assisting in this looks over Logan and hesitantly asks, "Isn't he…?" Logan's eyes start to flutter and the cops are all surprised. The cop that had spoke before speaks again in shock, "Oh, he's alive!" Logan opens his eyes completely and coughs up water.

Another man on the boat, a Major William Stryker, smiles at the sight, not surprised in the least. Another of the cops asks the man, "What do you want us to do with him, Major Stryker?"

Major Stryker turns away, working his jaw, and rubbing his fingers together conniving-like. "I'll take him from here." Behind Stryker, the person holding the newspaper folded it up neatly and lowered it to her lap. It is Darcy, who is also smiling and she waves her hand at the men on the boat, and they all drop to the deck, fast asleep.
