Chapter 37: Complicated Conversation
(New York City, Manhattan, Triskelion, a few hours later)
Death Cat, Wolverine, Deadpool, and Director Fury are going over the papers they found in the underground base. They found routes that the men working for Weapon X take when transporting their 'weapons' across the city and where they exit the island with them. There is a list of members of the staff and 'experiments' of the organization.
"I can have squadrons and agents search for these individuals and cover these areas, we should make plenty of arrests which will lead to more questioning. It will take a bit perhaps, but we should be able to find out more information." Director Fury said.
"Alright, we couldn't find anything completely specific. However, we did find something worthwhile." Wolverine said, pulling out a paper.
Director Fury took the paper, his one good eye scanning it.
"Canada?" Director Fury gasped.
"Not a specific spot, but that's where the main facility is. All that's need to be done now is to find it. However, it also states there is one more in Canada, that one will need to be hit first." Wolverine said.
"Indeed." Director Fury replied, nodding.
The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s gaze then turned to Death Cat, who is standing talking to Deadpool. A few thoughts run through his mind before he exits the room.
"Guys, I can't thank you enough for helping me out there." Deadpool said.
"No problem, bub. We all want Weapon X dead, and we're seeing to it together." Wolverine said, putting a reassuring hand on the man's shoulder.
Death Cat nodded to the Merc with a Mouth.
"Hey! Anybody else hungry?" Deadpool asked.
"Kinda, yeah." Death Cat answered.
"You two head to the mess hall. I've got some other business to take care of." Wolverine said.
"You ok?" Death Cat asked.
"Yeah, just something that needs to be done." Wolverine said.
"Hey! I think it was meatloaf day." Deadpool said, starting to walk away with the mutant hybrid.
"Blah, I don't like the smell of meatloaf. Hopefully they have something else." Death Cat grunted, his nose wrinkled in disgust.
Wolverine walked off. Several minutes later he entered a room. He returned to where the trio took Laura and Sarah. The two turned their attention to the mutant hero.
"The base is destroyed and the information taken. That psychotic asshole, Francis, is dead…Deadpool got his vengeance on him. He and the kid are heading to the mess hall." Wolverine said.
"I'm starting to get hungry as well. Come on, Laura, I know you're hungry too." Sarah said as she started to leave the room.
"Ok mom." Laura replied, getting up from her seat to follow her.
"I need to talk to her for a moment. We'll meet up with you three there." Wolverine said.
Sarah looked at her daughter, who frowned yet nodded to her. The mother bit her lip for a moment, but nodded to her daughter and left. Wolverine turned to watch Sarah walk away.
"Look, I know you wanted to go, but you needed to-" Wolverine started to say, trying to apologize to the young woman.
He didn't get to finish his sentence as a gloved fist knocked him to the ground. He looked up with surprise and anger to see Laura scowling back at him, her teeth bared and her fangs gleaming.
"You promised that I could go help you hunt those assholes!" Laura growled.
"When you're ready! Besides, your mother isn't ready for you to go with us! Gah, damn kid…you hit damn hard." Wolverine grunted, nursing his jaw.
"Damn right." Laura grunted, cracking her knuckles.
Wolverine chuckled, picking himself up.
"Look kid, I don't want you in there unless you're fully prepared." Wolverine said.
"I held my own fighting Black Widow!" Laura scoffed.
"I know kid. But Weapon X-" Wolverine started to say.
"I KNOW WHAT THEY"RE LIKE! I"VE BEEN AROUND THEM MY WHOLE DAMN LIFE!" Laura bellowed angrily.
Wolverine is quiet for a moment, unsure of how to respond. He stares into her eyes, seeing fire in her eyes. The mutant hero didn't want her in the fight just yet, but he wasn't sure exactly why. He knows she's a fierce fighter and a skilled combatant, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why he didn't want her in the carnage.
"I know kid…and you shouldn't have gone through that. It was hell for me…and it was for the kid…no one should have to go through that, especially a little girl." Wolverine sighed as leaned up against the door.
"I'm not a little girl! I can take care of myself!" Laura snarled, her claws extruding to emphasize her point.
Wolverine sighed, running his right hand down his masked face.
"This might not be something you could walk away from kid. You deserve better than what this road will lead you." Wolverine said.
"I don't want to walk another road. I want my vengeance, old man." Laura scoffed, fangs bared.
Wolverine raised an eyebrow in curiosity. He chuckled under his breath slightly, amused by being called 'old man'.
"Kid I know you've been through hell…you've been with those monsters far longer than I was, as far as I can remember…but they won't kill you, you'll know what they'll do…something far worse than death." Wolverine said, still trying to persuade her.
"Stop it old man. I will kill them. I won't stop until they're all dead! DO YOU HEAR ME, OLD MAN?!" Laura growled angrily.
A smile spread across the mutant hero's face, though slightly forced.
"Alright kid, I hear you. You want to kill those bastards, then you will. But you'll have some rigorous training under my watch. The kid and Wilson will also stand by as well. We'll all need to be ready for whatever hell those sons of bitches have planned for us. Because soon enough, we'll find them…and tear them apart." Wolverine said.
Laura nodded, with a slight smile, yet she was still annoyed with his earlier attempts to discourage her from what he himself was doing.
"Come on, I think they're waiting for us in the mess hall." Wolverine said.
"Yeah…alright." Laura replied.
The two then headed to the mess hall to join the others for a well earned and needed meal.
