Chapter 50
Grim Reminder
At the institute
The hour was late and the moon near it's peak.
In one of the bedrooms of the Xavier Institute, slept the infamous Wolverine.
He tossed and turned in his bed, reacting to the flashbacks his mind was projecting.
Logan envisioned himself floating in an incubation chamber, his body deprived of his senses save for his vision.
"Keep him sedated" A voice said in the background and Logan's eyes closed.
His memory then fast forwarded. His eyes burst open and he whaled under the water as if he were in excruciating pain.
Logan extended his adamantium claws, boiling the water from the heat they were emanating.
He stabbed the glass and sliced right through it, shattering it, and escaping from the chamber.
His memory fast forward again to him running through a snowy forest, trying to outrun something.
Logan caught a whiff of a scent in the air. He turned around and saw a figure standing there.
The figure smiled showing off his razor sharp teeth, "It doesn't matter how far you run, I'll always find you runt" he leapt towards him.
Logan extended his claws in response and attacked in a frenzy.
He woke from his nightmare, flailing with his claws extended.
Logan sat upright and noticed he was on the floor. He looked around and saw his bed had been torn to shreds by his own hand.
Hours later an alarm went off in Kitty's room.
The annoying sound woke her up and she groaned. She went to shut off her alarm clock but accidentally phased her hand through it.
The alarm clock short circuited and sparked for a few seconds before turning off.
'Not again' Kitty thought as she made herself get up.
The use of her abilities also interferes with any electrical systems as she passes through by disrupting the flow of electrons from atom to atom.
This typically causes machines to malfunction or be destroyed as she phases through them. Which makes sense how this was her third alarm clock this month.
Kitty groggily walked through the hallway on her way to the bathroom, barely even looking around.
When she approached the bathroom door she didn't notice the sign that said 'Occupied' and phased through the door.
Kitty didn't realize her mistake until she saw Rogue fresh out of the shower and getting dressed, "Huh?"
Rogue, half naked and hair wild like a beast, hurried to put a shirt on, "Hey! Do you mind?!" She shouted angrily.
Kitty quickly phased back out of the bathroom.
A few seconds later Rogue opened the door, her hair still a mess but at least she was decent, "The sign says occupied" she put emphasis on the occupied as she poked Kitty with her hairbrush, "The door was locked"
Kitty felt embarrassed, "Uh, well who can read at this hour?" She said smiling sheepishly.
Rogue slammed the door in her face.
Kitty sighed, "Sorry"
After getting ready herself, Kitty sat on her bed and opened up her laptop to type her weekly email to her parents. She never really had time to speak to them over the phone so she kept them updated by emailing them every week.
'Dear Mom and Dad' Kitty typed, 'Today started out just like all the other school days, with everyone feeling a little crowded, me included'
Rogue walked in the room.
'Especially with a roommate like Rogue. Though it's not real easy to get close to her, or healthy either' Kitty typed.
Rogue grabbed her blow-drier from her bottom drawer and started drying her hair.
The hair drier made too much noise for her to think so Kitty closed her laptop and moved to a different location.
Kitty phased through her door only to stop as everyone else was running for the bathrooms.
She found a quiet spot in the dining room, 'Finding a place to be alone around here is really a matter of timing, sometimes you have to settle' She looked at Logan who was reading his newspaper, 'Like when Mr. Logan is around, but that's ok because he doesn't want to talk to anybody, well except maybe Dean'
Logan noticed her looking at him, "What's the matter half-pint, am I reading too loudly for ya?"
"Uh no, just enjoying how quiet it is" Kitty spoke truthfully.
And right as she said that everyone bursted in the room looking for food and making all kinds of racket.
Kitty rolled her eyes, there was no escaping the ruckus.
Someone turned on the TV and a news report came on, something that attracted Logan's attention so he increased the volume.
"—catastrophe in the Canadian wilderness" the news anchor said.
Kitty gave Logan a blank stare, she was just telling him how she enjoyed the quiet.
'It's like sometimes Mr. Logan can be so incredibly rude you know?' Kitty typed.
"As a result, they've closed all entry into Elkford until further notice" the news anchor said.
"Elkford" The name triggered something in the back of Logan's mind. He suddenly felt a powerful need to rip anything living in front of him to shreds.
Logan's gaze shifted to the crowd of teenagers in front of him. The claws on his right hand slowly extended, itching for blood.
Logan dropped the TV remote and stormed off.
"Hey Logan you ok?" Scott asked curious as to what ticked him off.
Kitty kept on typing, 'I mean Professor Xavier is always saying that we're kind of like a family here at the institute, and we all have to get along. But Mr. Logan doesn't act like it, he's always going off doing this lone wolf thing. I mean it's not like his life is so much tougher than ours'
Logan ran in his room clutching his head from the pain that suddenly emerged.
He shut his door and tried to balance himself on his desk chair but the pain in his head was too great.
Logan cried out in pain and threw the chair at the wall shattering it. He extended his claws and started slashing at the whole room.
As Kitty was passing by his room she saw Logan's claws slash his door.
"Mr. Logan?" Kitty said with a hint of fear in her voice.
Logan burst out of his room with a furious expression.
"Um sorry I…are-are you ok?" Kitty asked, fear clearly present.
Logan clutched his head trying to ignore the urge to cut her annoying head off, "Yeah fine, fine just redecorating" he closed his door and left trying to shake off that weird feeling.
Evan was laying on the couch shooting mini spikes out of his fingers at the ceiling.
Kitty walked in, looked at the ceiling, and saw a poster of "The Festering Boys" probably some band.
"Evan, what are you doing?" Kitty asked feeling annoyed.
"I didn't have space for this in my room" Evan shot two more spikes at it to keep it pinned to the ceiling.
"We all share this area you know, what if some of us don't like the...Festering Boys?" Kitty asked.
"You could um…deal with it, see ya" Evan went back upstairs.
Kitty sat on the couch, opened her laptop, and started typing again.
'Evan is the youngest and he is so immature you know? It's like he has no idea how his actions affect the rest of us' Kitty typed.
Sheetrock started to fall from the ceiling and the poster fell on her, 'Then again, like, maybe he does'
Kitty moved outside and sat on the branch of a tree.
'Some of the kids around here are pretty nice, like Scott' she watched him tinker with his car, 'Sometimes he tries to be so totally responsible for Professor Xavier and the other students, then other times he acts just like a regular high school kid'
The roar of Scott's speakers blasting full volume music startled Kitty, 'Today he's definitely a kid'
Kitty moved to where she could see the vast woods next to the mansion, and it just so happened Dean was practicing with his bronze sword.
'And then there's Dean. Dean is the newest member of the team, and definitely the weirdest'
Dean was attacking an invisible opponent with incredible speed. He jumped in the air and did a triple backflip before landing on his feet again.
'He spends most of his time alone doing who knows what'
Dean then sat on the grass, taking a break, and stared at the blue sky in melancholy.
'And when he is around he's either the one with the brightest smile or the saddest frown, it's hard to read him'
Kitty looked over to the yard and noticed Logan and the Professor talking.
'Thank goodness for Professor Xavier, he keeps a lid on things around here. Not an easy job sometimes, especially with Mr. Logan. I bet he really gets after him for trashing his room' Kitty typed.
Logan was pacing back and forth trying to keep calm but couldn't manage to do so, "Something in that news story, I don't know what, set me off"
"Let's talk about it, sit down" Charles said and Logan obliged by sitting down by a nearby bench.
Logan sighed, "Charles, there's something in my head, buried there. Now how about you get inside and see if you can pry it loose"
"Alright" Charles agreed, "But first you need to relax"
"Ha, yeah, easy for you to say" Logan said trying his best.
Charles placed his fingers on Logan's temple and searched the scattered remains of his previous memories.
As he scoured through them Charles saw a brief vision of a man staring at Logan in the incubation chamber.
The man was wearing an all-white lab coat, square tinted glasses that prevented you from seeing his eyes, and he was completely bald.
Logan couldn't take the sharp pain in the back of his head so he backed away from Charles's reach. He was breathing heavily, "Ugh, tell me that was a dream or something"
"No, a memory. Long forgotten, or rather suppressed" Charles said, "I believe that was a glimpse of how you came to acquire your unusual implements, do you wish to continue?"
"Go for it" Logan said.
Charles placed his hand back on Logan's temple and he immediately felt the pain again.
A vision was shown of Logan in the woods encountering a figure.
The figure held Logan at bay by grabbing his arms.
Logan looked back and saw the man in the square glasses again.
"Hold him" The man in the square glasses said as he approached holding a needle with an unknown substance.
That snapped them both out of the vision.
"Are you alright?" Charles asked.
Logan groaned from the pain in his head, "Whatever happened to me, that's where it started, with that ghoul with the square glasses" he growled, "He's the guy who did this" he extended his claws, "I gotta go" he went to leave.
Charles stopped him, "You're going to that town in Canada aren't you? The one you saw on TV, and in your nightmares"
"Happened to pick that up while inside my head?" Logan asked sarcastically.
"Do you want company?" Charles asked.
"Do I ever?" Logan asked as he left.
Kitty had moved inside the X-jet.
'Well, I guess I better sign off before Kurt pops in and finds me. He's always doing that, totally freaks me' Kitty shivers, 'Besides, I'm about late for school' and as she typed that last part Kurt and Dean port in the jet to find her, scaring her in the process.
"There you are" Kurt said, "Why are you in here?"
"Out of like, necessity!" Kitty shouted in frustration.
"Whatever, c'mon Scott's giving you guys a ride to school" Dean said.
"All I wanted was just one minute alone in this whole stupid mansion!" Kitty closed her laptop with an attitude.
"Ooh touchy" Kurt was teasing her, "Sounds like someone's got an astral physics test today"
Suddenly the jet rumbled and took off in a hurry.
Kitty and Kurt lost their balance and fell down.
Dean stood still, 'Someone left in a hurry' he opened the door to the cockpit and spotted Logan in uniform.
"He probably didn't know we were back here" Dean figured as he went to greet his mutant mentor.
Kitty stopped him, "I wouldn't, he's been acting mega weird all morning"
Dean thought she was being dramatic, "When does he not act weird?" He walked over to Logan, "Hey old man, can you drop us off before you leave?" he put his hand on Logan's shoulder.
Logan became enraged and stabbed with his claws.
Dean narrowly avoided the claws by moving his head to the side by mere centimeters, had it not been for his reflexes his head would be gone right now.
Logan just realized what he did, retracted his claws, and grasped his head.
"Or I can jump out, whatever's convenient" Dean asked feeling concerned.
"Still think I'm being dramatic?" Kitty asked.
Dean could see the pain and confusion on Logan's face but he was clueless as to what was going on. He slowly backed away not wanting to fight Logan in his current condition.
"Engage auto-pilot" Logan said as he got up from his seat. He grunted, "Why are you following me?"
"We're not following you we just—" Kitty was interrupted by Logan's claws coming out of his knuckles.
Dean backed away a little faster.
"Now you made him angry" Kurt said getting close to Kitty out of fear.
"I gotta take you back before, Aaahhhh!" Logan shouted grasping his aching head, "You gotta get away, there's something in my head, I can't control it, can't be trusted!" There was a deafening pain in his skull that was forcing him to attack. He inched closer to them.
"Kitty shut the doors now!" Dean shouted.
Kitty pressed the button and Dean jumped in just in time.
As the door closed Logan clawed at the door creating three slashes that could be clearly seen from their side.
"I guess that means we're not in immediate danger" Dean said.
Kurt grabbed Dean by the shirt, "There's a crazy person flying the plane! That's definitely dangerous!" He started panicking, "We gotta get out of here!"
"Can you transport us to the ground?" Dean asked Kurt.
"Uh yeah right" Kurt said sarcastically, "Picture this" his hand slowly moved lower, "Bamf Bamf Bamf splat! Too high up and way too fast"
"Then I guess we're stuck on this flight" Kitty said.
"The question is, where are we flying to?" Dean asked out loud.
After a few hours of flying the jet finally landed and Logan exited the plane.
After he was out of sight Kitty phased out of the plane with Dean and two seconds later Kurt teleported outside, all of them in uniform.
"Did you get into the cockpit?" Kitty asked.
"Ya, but something's jamming the transmitter way out here, I couldn't reach the institute" Kurt said.
"Looks like we're on our own then" Dean said, "Now look, we have to be stealthy, that means not letting him know we're following him, got it?" he made sure his teammates understood.
"Thanks captain obvious" Kitty said.
"Just making sure your little brain gets it Kitty" Dean tapped her head, "I don't want you giving away our position" he said as they began tracking Logan.
"I've been on this team longer than you you know" Kitty pointed out.
A man wearing an all-white lab coat with square tinted glasses was sitting in front of a computer screen.
Professor Andre Thorton was looking at the image of Logan's brain, "Excellent, you see? That chip in his brain is still active after all these years. Oh, I did such good work in those days" he chuckled, "And yet through sheer force of will he's managed to subdue it, until now" the screen zoomed in on Logan's location.
"Why now?" a voice asked.
"Oh I suppose he just got too comfortable with Xavier, let his guard down" Professor Thorton said, "Certain news footage did the rest. Isn't that right bigfoot?"
"Don't call me bigfoot" The voice came out of the shadows revealing Sabretooth.
"Tell you what Sabretooth, why don't you go make sure our old colleague meets our new one?" Professor Thorton grinned.
Logan was passing through the woods when he stumbled upon a small town that was half burned to the ground.
'Looks like I'm not the only one who's having a bad day' Logan thought.
Buildings were smashed to the ground, fires were still being put out by local firemen, and people were still being evacuated by ambulances.
Luckily right now his splitting headache was gone for the moment.
Logan passed by a destroyed car that had a teddy bear on the front seat. He sniffed around trying to figure out what happened, and he smelled a little girl being ambushed by some creature, a creature that smelled toxic.
Then he sniffed gun powder, seems like someone tried to fight back.
He kicked some dust off of a sign that said "Elkford"
'Oh no not that again' the pain in the back of Logan's head returned with a vengeance. His body willed him to follow the trail of the creature.
Logan had passed by a few craters as he followed the trail, the last one being in snow that showed the gigantic feet of the creature.
Logan followed the footsteps and as he followed them they seemed to shrink to the point where they were the exact same size as his own.
The trail lead him to a lake where he found a scrawny man wearing nothing but tattered purple shorts. He had his face in his hands and sounded like he was crying.
"Hey bub" Logan said to the scrawny man.
The man's face rose and looked frightened.
"You haven't seen a big monster running around here have ya?" Logan asked him.
The man backed away from Logan, "No, stay back, stay away from me" his voice sounded petrified, "Stay back" be backed into a wall.
Dean, Kurt, and Kitty finally caught up with Logan and were watching from afar, well Dean was. He was the only one who could see him because of his superior eyesight, and he wasn't going to risk getting any closer.
They followed him to a lake, one that was probably freezing cold because of the weather.
Dean spotted someone with Logan but he didn't recognize him or see him as a threat.
"Relax cry baby, I ain't gonna—" Logan suddenly sniffed something, "You smell toxic!" he grabbed him by the hair and threw him into a nearby rock.
Logan picked him up and pinned him to a tree, "Who are you?!"
The man started to sweat, "Please I'm begging you, leave me alone, for your own sake please go, you're in terrible danger" he closed his eyes out of fear.
Logan put his fist under the man's chin and extended two claws that held his small head between them, "Here's the deal mister, there's a third claw that's gonna come out if you don't start talking"
The man suddenly opened his eyes, which were now deep green. He punched Logan sending him flying into a tree.
The scrawny man's body began to change. His body grew over eight feet tall and just as wide. His muscles all around his body became massive and his skin turned green. His massive hulking figure alone could spread fear into the most courageous warriors.
Dean's eyes widened, "Oh shit…"
"What happened?" Kitty whisperered.
"WWWWRRAAAAHHHHH!" His deafening roar would make those warriors piss their pants.
"That's what happened" Dean whispered fearing the worst. Of all people to run into, why him? Why the fucking Hulk?
All the birds in the trees flew away from the sound of his roar and Logan was frozen still, dumbstruck at what just happened.
"Ah hell, I don't suppose you have any interest in talking this out?" Logan asked feeling slightly intimidated, he knew of the Hulk from his days at SHIELD.
Hulk hit Logan with a mighty uppercut that sent him skyrocketing through the air and landed miles and miles away.
Logan woke up on the side of a cliff feeling like he'd been hit with a meteor from space. He noticed that his right arm was dislocated so he put it back into place and yelled from the pain giving away his location.
"What the hell happened?" Logan's memory was fuzzy.
Then he heard someone roar and jumped down at him so he backed away.
He spotted Hulk in all his mighty rage, "Oh yeah" if it weren't for his adamantium skeleton that might have killed him.
Logan tried to come up with a plan quickly, 'Can't overpower him, maybe I can tire him—" the sharp pain in the back of his head returned stronger than before. Bloodlust consumed his mind and his claws practically extended themselves.
Logan's gaze rose to meet the Hulk's, it seemed he was only left with one choice.
"Let's do this! Come on!" Logan shouted.
Hulk roared and bashed the ground shattering the edge they were standing on resulting in them falling into the river below.
As they were underwater Hulk punched Logan's jaw.
The adamantium thankfully absorbed all the damage from his punch.
Logan punched him back.
Hulk became angrier and punched him left and right before sending Logan shooting out of the water with a powerful uppercut.
Hulk slowly walked out of the water looking around for any trace of his enemy.
Logan jumped from a tree above and stabbed his claws deep inside Hulk's back.
Logan stabbed him repeatedly ripping his back to shreds.
In response, Hulk backed into a mountainside and crushed Logan.
Logan was forced to let go from the pain then he leaped out of the way of an incoming boulder.
Logan ran at Hulk and dodged a second boulder, but the third one hit Logan square in the face making his head tilt back from the force of it. His head returned to its original position with an angry expression.
Logan leaped over another boulder before being crushed by another in Hulk's hands.
Hulk then smashed the remains of the boulder over Logan's body shattering it, "HULK SMASH LITTLE MAN!"
Hulk started beating the crap out of Logan's face, "LITTLE MAN LEAVE HULK ALONE!" He ended his onslaught with one last punch that echoed for miles from its force, "HULK IS STRONGEST THERE IS!WRRAAAAAHHHHH!"
The three teenagers were standing from a distance where they could all see the fight and they stood completely still.
Dean had no idea what to do, if Logan can't beat him what chance does he have against the Hulk?
"Holly shi—"Kurt went to say something but Dean put his hand over his mouth and brought him and Kitty close to him.
The Hulk looked around like he heard something.
"Don't make a sound or we're all dead" Dean whispered to them.
The Hulk dismissed the sound and walked away from Logan's lifeless body.
He stopped a few feet forward and breathed heavily. A second later he heard something behind him and turned around to find Logan back up.
Logan cracked his neck in relief, that pain in the back of his head was gone, which meant he could think clearly.
"Ok bub" Logan said with a smirk, "let's try that again" He charged at Hulk using his full speed and caught the raging green monster off guard.
Logan slashed his chest before impaling him with his claws and stabbing him repeatedly.
Logan got off his chest right before Hulk grabbed him, learning his lesson from last time he tried that, and used his superior speed to keep away from him and attack quickly.
Logan backed away from a downward smash and then jumped over the Hulk and slashed his back mid-air. Logan ducked underneath an elbow as he came back in and slashed the Hulk's chest.
Logan stopped attacking once he saw Hulk get on one knee from fatigue. Was it over?
And as he was about to find out a couple of dozen tranquilizers were shot into Hulk's back. A second later he toppled over, unconscious.
Logan saw three figures in the shadows but before he could do anything he was shot with tranquilizers as well. He then fell face first to the ground.
Someone knelt in front of him, "Thanks runt" Logan recognized Sabretooth, "We've been trying to take him down for weeks" two others came into view.
A woman with very long nail claws, and a man in a weird red and black jumpsuit.
"Logan buddy, it's me Deadpool" he waved at him, "I shot you!"
Logan tried resisting the tranquilizer and went to get up.
Sabretooth kicked Logan in the face knocking him out, "Welcome home"
In the bushes, Kitty, Dean, and Kurt had no idea how to handle this situation. They waited for Sabretooth and those other two to leave so they could at least start talking again.
"Oh my god what do we do?" Kitty started panicking.
"What do you think they're going to do to him?" Kurt joined her in panic.
"Shut up and listen!" Dean said trying to snap them out of it, "This is a very bad situation so we're going to have to handle this carefully. Kurt, Kitty, I need you to go back to the X-jet and get help. I don't care if you have to take off so you can get out of range from that jammed signal, just do it"
"But what are you going to do?" Kurt asked.
"I…..I have to stay here and rescue Logan" Dean said knowing full well he's going to have to do this alone.
"No way that's crazy!" Kitty grabbed his vest, "They'll kill you!"
Dean grabbed her shoulders, "Somebody has to stay here so you know where to find Logan. I have a communicator with me, you can track it back to my location. Now go" he took off in the direction Sabretooth and the rest of them went.
"Come on, we need to go" Kurt grabbed Kitty and ported out of there.
Logan was in an intense dream. He saw himself walking outside a motel drinking a bottle of whiskey, obviously wasted.
He walked forward but dropped the bottle when he did spilling it on the snowy ground. He picked the bottle back up and checked inside to see if there was any left but then he heard someone behind him.
Logan looked back and saw a bald man with square glasses in a winter coat, "What are you lookin at?"
Then out of nowhere two soldiers came running from behind the bald man and tackled Logan before placing his unconscious body inside a van, "Prepare the lab" the man with the square glasses spoke into his communicator, "We're on our way"
"Roger that Professor Thorton" someone said in the communicator.
The dream changed to a lab where Logan was inside an incubation chamber with cables plugged into him all over his body.
"His vital signs are increasing" One of the doctors said, "He's waking up"
Logan opened his eyes.
"Now Ms. Hives, begin the adamantium bonding process" Professor Thorton said.
"Commencing infusion" someone else said.
Logan felt the molten metal being poured onto his bones, his body felt like it was on fire. He yelled and trembled from the pain of the process.
"Vitals are erratic but holding" someone said.
"Excellent" Professor Thorton said, "Increase to maximum"
The dream changed to Logan sleeping in a holding cell, chained to the floor.
He woke up and tried to free himself but the chain was sturdy. Then out of nowhere he felt a stabbing pain in his hands and three metal claws came out of each one. As they did he cried out in pain.
The dream changed again to Logan outside in the cold snowstorm with some kind of head gear around his head. He could see the infrared heat from a bear passing by him.
Inside a lab, a bunch of doctors were observing Logan.
"Weapon X's mental conditioning and reprograming are at stage 5. Begin combat assessment" Professor Thorton said.
Logan extended his claws and the bear near him growled before standing up straight ready to fight.
Right as Logan went for the kill the dream changed again.
"I don't care how long you've had him, Professor. This is a mistake" Sabretooth said, "I know him, he can't be controlled. You have his DNA so just let me kill him"
Professor Thorton was examining Logan, "I'll take that under advisement, Sabertooth. Prepare your team for the mission" He walked away.
"Your funeral" Sabretooth walked away and growled at Logan.
As he was walking he passed by dozens of water tanks with toddlers in them that we're numbered, X-20, X-21, X-22, and so on.
"What do you say after the mission we kill all those floating babies?" Deadpool said grabbing a gun.
"Do you ever shut up Wilson?" Sabretooth said.
"What? Babies creep me out" Deadpool aimed his gun, "RockabyBANG! Heh" he laughed.
The dream changed again to the lab with Logan in the tank.
"He's fighting the programming" One of the doctors said.
Logan started banging on the glass trying to get out.
"We are losing control! Increase the dosage" Professor Thorton said behind the glass in another room, "Initiate lockdown procedures and someone activate Sabertooth!"
Logan extended his claws and stabbed the glass breaking it and all the liquid leaked out along with him. He slashed the two doctors that were in the room with him, killing them instantly.
"Guards! Guards!" Professor Thorton shouted as Logan jumped through the glass.
Two armed guards came in and Logan roared before running at them.
As he passed by Professor Thorton he chopped off one of his arms and took down the two guards before making a run for it.
Logan woke up from his dream with a couple of punches to the face from Sabretooth , "Wakey wakey time"
Deadpool was juggling bullets in the background, "Logan! We missed you! Weapon X hasn't been the same without you! Nobody calls me Bub anymore!" he put the bullets back in his gun, "And Sabretooth's a bed wetter!"
Professor Thorton walked in with a robotic arm instead of the one he lost.
"One day I will tear out your flapping tongue, Wilson" Sabretooth said in annoyance.
"He's very ashamed" Deadpool whispered to Logan.
"Despite Deadpool's idiocy" Professor Thorton said, "Weapon X is indeed glad to have you back, Logan. We put considerable time and money into you"
"And pointy things!" Deadpool added.
Professor Thorton ignored him, "You've aged remarkably well Logan. Your recuperative powers have served you well. Now it's time they serve me again. Especially since your enhancements represent quite the financial investment"
"Who had it done to me?!" Logan growled.
"What? Your adamantium skeleton? I'm surprised you haven't figured it out by now" Professor Thorton said feeling amused, "You were our best operative, Wolverine. So disappointing. But you did lead us to Dr. Banner, of course, you know him better as the Hulk"
"I shot him in the ass" Deadpool said, "With one of these" he showed one of the tranquilizer bullets.
Everyone looked at him weirdly.
"What? I did" Deadpool said.
Professor Thorton ignored him again, "Weapon X has been pursuing the Hulk for weeks. Unfortunately there was some collateral damage, if only I had activated the chip in your brain sooner, who knows how much destruction could have been avoided. Well, its too bad the Hulk damaged it"
"What do you want with the Hulk?" Logan asked.
"We just want to help him find his happy place" Deadpool said, "Did you see how angry he was? I mean I'm sorry but c'mon! I think his pants are too—"he was cut off as Sabretooth grabbed him by the neck and choked him to shut him up.
"We want the same thing we wanted with you, Logan. A weapon" Professor Thorton said with a smile, "I'll erase Banner's memories and reprogram him, just like I did with you. And then Weapon X will have the most powerful creature on the planet at our disposal"
Logan looked at the ground and chuckled, "You should of killed me when you had the chance. Because I'm gonna get out of here" He looked up at Sabretooth and Deadpool, "I'm gonna kill all of them and then I'm gonna cut out your heart" Logan said glaring at Professor Thorton.
Professor Thorton smiled, "Wolverine, after I'm done with you, you won't even remember this conversation. I've erased your life before, and I'm going to do it again. All you'll know is that you belong to Weapon X, now and forever"
Sabretooth let go of Deadpool and walked out with the Professor.
"That is so not cool" Deadpool said coughing, "I hate that guy"
"I don't care Wade" Logan said not wanting to hear his voice.
Logan's memory may still be incomplete but there's some bits and pieces of his life that he still can recall. Like how much he disliked Deadpool and Sabretooth.
"Ah, Wolverine, you look so sad. Hey if it makes you feel any better, Lady Deathstrike tried to kill you while you were asleep" Deadpool said optimistically.
"Better than having to listen to you" Logan said sarcastically.
"Man, does she hate you" Deadpool took out his gun and started playing with it, "I mean we all hate you, but Deathstrike really, really, really hates you"
Logan wasn't familiar with the name Lady Deathstrike.
"Then why hasn't that bitch showed her face?" Logan was curious as to why she wasn't here with the rest of them.
"Doc doesn't want her around you. And to tell you the truth I'm glad she's not here, if she was she'd be interrupting our conversation by trying to kill you, or cutting my head off, or chopping my balls off, or both…" Deadpool went blank for a second, "Hey do you have one of those cigars you always carry around with you?"
Logan sighed in frustration, he could never tolerate Deadpool's bantering, "You wanna torture me or something?" he suggested.
"You'll just heal that's no fun" Deadpool wondered what to do to pass the time, "Oh! What if we play truth or dare?!" he sounded excited.
Logan glared at him, "Are you fucking serious?"
"I'll go first, truth or dare Logan?" Deadpool asked.
Logan started banging his head on the wall behind him, "This is not happening" he whispered.
"Alright then you Canadian sour puss, you go first" Deadpool said.
Logan had a thought, "Fine, truth or dare"
Deadpool thought about it, "Hmmmm, I don't know. If I pick dare you might make me do something disgusting, but if I pick truth you might ask me an embarrassing question. Gosh this is such a difficult decision"
"Just pick already!" Logan shouted.
"Ok dare, no truth, no wait!...Dare" Deadpool finally decided.
"I dare you to shoot me in the face" Logan said with a serious face.
Deadpool scratched his head, "That's a strange request, but ok" he aimed his gun at Logan at point blank range.
He shot Logan and he was knocked out from the impact to his skull.
"Well there you go. I thought you were going to ask me to let you go for a minute there, it's a good thing you didn't cause I would've. Although Sabretooth would have shoved my katana up my ass when he found out so maybe I shouldn't have picked dare at all, but I digress. Your turn Logan" Deadpool said.
Logan's body remained lifeless.
"Logan?" Deadpool said trying to get his attention, "You know how I hate it when I'm ignored" he slapped Logan in the face but nothing happened, "If you're giving me the silent treatment this is not funny at all" he slapped Logan again but nothing happened, "I have feelings you know!" he slapped him again.
Logan gave no response.
"Hey are you even awa— "Deadpool gasped, "That sneaky bastard tricked me!" he looked down and walked away slowly, "Now who am I gonna play with? Ooh I'll go shoot some of those babies!" he ran out in a hurry.
After he left Logan smirked, 'Finally some peace'
Author's Note: Looks like Logan is in quite a pickle, and help is on the way. But can Dean get there in time?
The hell you mean can he get there in time? Of course he can he's the protagonist!
…what?
Oh I'm sorry, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Pool…Dead...pool, aka the Merc with the Mouth, aka Captain Big Dick…And I am seizing control of this fanfic!
Deadpool, I don't think you can do—
That's Mr. Pool to you dumbass (shoves off seat) time for me to take control. First let's start by fixing this Author's Note.
D-Pool's Note: Will Logan find a way out? Can Dean save Logan while managing not to kill anyone? Will Scott ever find the balls to ask Jean out on a date? Will Rogue ever get some of that D? Find out on the next episode, of DRAGON BALL— wait wrong show— Demigod Chronicles! (Soon to be Deadpool Chronicles)
