"Wolverine" - speech

Wolverine - movie

'Wolverine' - screen


160 years old. The idea seemed to echo in their mind.

Bobby understood the shock of discovery like that. But he couldn't hold in the anticipation coursing through him. "Professor?" It appeared to shake him from his thoughts. "Yes, Bobby?" "Can we watch more?" "Yes, yes. Rogue if you could." Pushing play, the screen went alive again.

The boys run through woods. Slowly the scenery began to change. The night changed to day, woods turning into a battlefield and the boys growing up. James transforming into Logan they knew. Both brothers wore blue uniforms belonging to soldiers from civil war. Logan charges at their enemies with a roar and gets shot in the chest but it didn't seem to stop him. Then he gets hit by a cannonball.

Scenery changing. It's World War I. Logan is in the middle of an attack, a plane flies by him and crashed into a tower behind him. It's chaos. They Move through the battlefield with only fire to shine their way. Dead people everywhere you look, enemies and allies it doesn't matter now. Sounds of shots fired could be heard in the background. Him and Victor jumping into a trench and fighting with soldiers there. Victor using his claws to kill them, Logan mostly fighting with his gun like it's a baseball bat. "Back to back!" He ordered, and they immediately slide into their positions, instinctively. James threw his gun to Victor and with his hands free he punched the next attacker. Soon Victor gets shot to the heart.

The times are changing again. World War II. They're on a boat, Wolverine smoking a cigar and prepares his rifle. Logan and his corp reaching the shore are immediately under the enemy fire. The brothers manage to run deeper on to the land. Victor starts running on all fours and climbing up the wall, his brother close behind him. Victor is first at the watchtower and begins to throw people out. Logan is with him and he also starts to kill the soldiers. Victor takes control of the automatic and starts to shoot at them with more than necessary amount of bullets, killing them. Logan turns to his brother, a frown on his face and sees the sadistic grin that appears to grow on Victor's face the longer he shoots.

Their surroundings change again. They're in a helicopter and Victor is shooting at a village below them, the grin still present. Logan tries to deter him, yelling "That's enough!" Seeing that his attempts at stopping him aren't working he moves towards the cockpit and takes control of the flight. Steering them away from the village. The helicopter landed and Logan jogs to the village. A female scream rungs out, Victor is holding a girl in his arms against her will, steps inside the cabin and throws her on the bed. Another soldier appears in the doorstep "Stand down, soldier!" Victor is quick to attack, James hearing the commotion speeds up and only sees his brother getting attacked. "Victor!" He doesn't waste time to defend his brother. "Stand down!" They don't listen to the order of their commanding officer and Victor kills him by plunging his claws deep into his chest. James is against that "No!" Shifting into the position, James lets out his claws while Victor gets ready to fight. But they're surrounded, the soldiers have their weapons pointed directly at them ready to shoot. Two dead people at their feet. Victor seems to be getting more and more agitated while James stands still in his defensive position but that doesn't stop him from looking at his brother with a raised eyebrow.

Next thing they see is the two brothers tied up before a firing squad. "Stand! Aim!" "Wake me up when it's over." Victor's voice is smug and his face still holds that sadistic grin. Logan turns to him with a raised eyebrow, noticing his brothers concerning behavior. James stands still, staring forward when the last order is yelled out. "Fire!" Victor screams. Everything goes black.

"Civil War, World War I and II, and the Vietnam War." Jean softly counted out loud. "Four biggest wars in our recent history. And he fought in them all. He died in them all." It's incredible. The knowledge that they know personally a walking history book of the last hundred years with the first point of view made Hank's heart beat faster in excitement. But it was quick to slow down when he remembers that Logan recalls only the last 15 years and anything before that shows in painfull flashbacks and terrifing nightmares.

Cell doors open and in walks a serious-looking officer, wearing dark sunglasses. Inside the cell, sitting on the ground are James and Victor shackled in chains. On the wall were present characteristic lines counting the time, on Victor's arm sat a rat its presence didn't seem to bother the two cellmates. "My name is Major Wiliam Stryker" the army man is first to speak "You've been charged with killing a senior officer. Is that correct?" Victor was ready with a cheeky response "Apparently we have some issues with authority." "Just keep a lead on it." James shares a similar sense of humor with his brother. "Sir." Victor finishes.

"Well... In that case, it's safe to say that Wolverine hadn't changed at all." Scott can remember with clarity many many situations when Logan hadn't listened to someone with higher authority which was truthfully at every opportunity. His comment made soft chuckles run through the room. Even Charles found humor in that fact.

Major Stryker doesn't appear to be insulted, keeping his face blank. "The warden tells me that your sentence was carried out by a firing squad at 1000 hours." The shackled men don't appear to be troubled by the information, Victor's playing with the rat. "How that go?" James shows his humor "Tickled." That response brings an amused smile to Stryker's face. Taking off his glasses he moves inside the cell. "You boys tired of running?" That makes them both look at him. "Tired of denying your true nature?" "What you care?" Victor first questions. "Oh, I care. I care because I know how special you are, how valuable." Victor appears to be more interested but James is exactly the opposite. The Major crouches, bringing him to the same level as the prisoners. "Look. You can stay here locked up as freaks of nature" his eyes don 't stray from Logan's "Or you can join me." his eyes move away from Logan and focuses n both brothers. "I'm putting together a special team with special privileges." the last part appears to be addressed mostly to Victor. "Now tell me... How would you liked to really serve your country?"

"Professor have you ever heard about a team like that?" Charles had to look closely in his memory to learn the answer. "If I remember correctly when I first started to get any kind of standing in the government there was rumor circling, well something more like anything like a legend. It was about a team of mutants that was sent to do impossible, important and most dangerous missions around the world. But they didn't last long a year maybe two. I never actually believed it."

"If Logan worked for the government then what happened that he was taken against his will for that adamantium thing?" questioned Rogue "I don't know Rogue but I believe that at the end of it all we'll have all the answers to our questions. Already some of them were answered."

"Yeah... But will Logan get them?" it was a quiet question that echoed loudly in their hearts and minds.

"Let's just get this over with." Scott didn't stop to consider any objections before unpausing the movie.
