The next scene began in front of a Canadian school, the bell signaling end of classes was ringing. Logan's car was parked in front of it and James was looking out of the window and observing how Kayla played with children in her care. A voice of a child reached him. "Miss Kayle, look at what I did." While paying attention to the children Kayle shared a look and smile with Logan. "Daddy!" a nearby shout of joy brought Logan's attention to a boy running towards his father who picked him up. Logan turned away from the sight, still wearing a small wistful smile.
"Is it possible that Logan wanted to be a father? Still wants?" Jubilee asked. The answer to her first question was obvious and it was easy to figure out that it was the second one that mattered. "We don't know. Maybe somewhere deep inside him, there is a need to be a father." Ororo softly replied. Scott picked up what she had trouble saying. "It is also possible that after the program any need like that was buried too deep to reach it or maybe it was destroyed. It's better to leave that question unanswered. It won't do us any good or Wolverine."
There was a bitter pain inside the teacher's hearts. Their Logan has trust issues, wears a shield around his heart, he still an outcast even among them. And looking at the man that Logan was, this James, seeing how he's calmer, better in control of himself, happy. But they also knew that now at least he has a harbor to come to, them, it soothed the sting.
Their ride was peaceful and quiet until "What's wrong?" Kayle asked. Logan didn't answer right away but finally "Stryker, came by today." He shot her a quick look "Don't worry I said no." "Why is he bothering you after all those years?" she changed her position, sitting straight again. "Because I'm the best there is at what I do and what I do best isn't very nice." "You're no an animal, Logan. What you have is a gift." it sounded like an old argument "Gift?" he scoffed softly "You can return a gift." The rest of the ride was silent until they reached the bridge.
Two cars were standing blocking the way. Their owners standing near them and talking. And when they didn't move at all after Logan stopped his car James quickly got annoyed, he started pushing on the horn "Come on, fellas" but they only signaled him to wait. "Alright." he parked and started to step out of the truck. "Stay in the car." Kayle tried to persuade him but he only smirked at her. "I'm just gonna ask nicely." and exited. Kayle could only sigh. "Mind let us go by." Logan called out to the two men.
"You aren't in some kind of hurry, pal, are you?" The taller of the men also started walking and met Logan halfway. "Just move your truck so we can go-" "You wanna have some kind of conversation!?" the man interrupted him and harshly pushed at his shoulder. Kayle also stepped out of the car. On Logan's face, you could see annoyance moving in.
"It's gonna get ugly, I can feel it." Jubilee commented
"You start something, you better be ready to finish." the man lectured, as soon when Logan turned back towards him the man tried to punch him but Wolverine caught his fist before it could reach him. He started squeezing. "Hey guys take it easy" Kayle called out to them as she ran. On Logan's hand, you could see how his claws tried to make an entrance but before that happened she reached to them and touched the shoulders of both men as if preparing herself to separate them if necessary. The man withdrew his hand roughly from Logan's grip. He turned to the woman. "Your boyfriend has a big mouth" "I know" she agreed. "Pretty temper, too, so please let us pass." her eyes drilled into the man's, he appeared to calm down and walked away. "Thank you" she called out and turned back to Logan and they started to go back to their car.
"...or not." this prompted chuckles to ran around in the room. Professor Xavier while smiling couldn't help a feeling to form in his stomach. He met people like that man they rarely just backed out of the fight and just did what one wanted from them.
"How did you do that?" questioned Jimmy "You know powers of persuasion is a gift." she responded teasingly. "I see. Did you 'ave those powers over me?" he played along while openning the door of the car. "Well, you didn't stay in the car, did you?" she retored and climbed back. Logan chuckled amused by their banter. From side view you could see one car moving to let the other pass.
Later the truck could be seen moving on a gravely road.
The scene cut to a small cabin at night, a full moon shinning high above on the dark, cloudless, starless sky. Kyle's voice rang out "Why is the Moon so lonely?" They were inside the cabing, Logan was sitting on a brown couch body angled left, facing Kyle. "Why?" he questioned softly with a small smirk. "'Cause she used to have a lover." she responded wearing a smile. "Ahh.." Logan nodded "You tell this to the kids" he enquired. "No" Kyle was still wearing a content smile on her face amused by the bait. "His name was Kuekuatsu and they lived in the spirit world togather." she continued the story walking with a bottle of beer towards Jimmy. "Ahh so it's a true story." Logan said taking the beer that was handed to him. She hummed with agreement, straddled Logan and carried on with her story. "And every night they wandered the skies together" she leaned down while Jimmy took a sip from the bottle. "But... One of the other spirits was jealous. Trickster wanted the moon for himself. So he told Kuekuatsu that the Moon had asked for flowers. He told him to come to our world and pick up some wild roses. But Kuekuatsu didn't know that once you leave the spirit world, you can never come back." through out the whole story the never broke the eye contact between them "And everynight he looks up in the sky, sees the Moon and howls her name..." her face was facing upwards like it was her that howled "..but.." slowly she bowed down and looked at Logan again. "...he can never touch her again." Jimmy looked at her intensely a small frown appeared between his eyebrows. He spoke barely above a whisper "Wow.. Kukuktchu got screwed."
A small smile tugged at her lips at him altering the name "Kuekuatsu." she repeated but he only could make a short breathless laugh. The looked at eachother wearing small smiles on their faces. Kayle while playing with his beard softly said ".. means The Wolverine"
"Oh My God." Rouge appeared to be the only one to be able to form some kind of speech, the rest still tried to take in the informations that this story brought to light. "I think my mind just imploded." Kitty whispered.
