Authors Note: This is the final chapter for this story. The next one will hopefully be up soon. That one takes place after both of the movies. So hope you enjoyed. I know I liked this one. I may add another short one involving Meranda's escape...or not. I may just explain it in the other one. Again thanks to everyone who reviewed. (That's you Rogue77!)
Tortured Hearts
Chapter 7: New life, and Escapes
12 Month's Later...
"Well, doctor, what have we here?" William Stryker asked as he entered the crowded lab room. Meranda was strapped to the bed; her feet propped up on stirrups and sweat beading on her forehead.
"She's almost fully dilated," Townshend replied with a smile, invisible due to the mask he wore. "Soon, we'll have a miniature of our two perfect weapons."
"Excellent," Stryker smirked and walked over to Meranda. "And how are you my dear?" he asked as lightening streaked though the room and landed next to him. "What the hell?"
"You're not getting my baby you sorry fuck. When Logan finds out he'll kill you," Meranda growled as another contraction struck her.
"Careful," Townshend stated as he checked the baby's vitals. "We had to take her off of the power suppressors. Apparently that triggered her memories as well."
"She's probably just mad we didn't let them do it the old fashion way," Stryker said as he polished his glasses. "I want word as soon as he's born."
"Yes sir."

"He's beautiful," Nurse Anna Perkins said as she held the newborn in her arms.
"Please," Meranda pleaded, causing Anna to look up at her. "Let me hold my baby."
Anna bit her lip and looked at the small body in her arms. Townshend had gone to get Stryker and had left strict orders not to let the mutant hold her son. 'But how would I feel?' she thought as she remembered the joy she had received from holding her baby girl for the first time. "Here," Anna said, placing the small baby on Meranda's chest. "One Mother to another."
"Thank you," Meranda whispered as she gazed at her son. "I promise, I'll save you," she whispered to her baby, kissing his forehead.
"That's quite enough," Stryker said snatching up the baby as Townshend injected the power suppressors into her arm. "And thank you for your sacrifice."

Six Years Later...
William Stryker watched through the glass high above the large training room as Ebony shadow boxed with the punching bag. He was lost in thought as Townshend spoke behind him.
"The whole facility you say? And Doctor Oyama?"
"Dead," Stryker replied, turning back to Townshend. "Wolverine escaped and destroyed the facility. Several of the employees died trying to escape. Oyama was one of them."
"Did his procedure work?" Townshend asked looking up at Stryker from his desk.
"Oh yes," Stryker said solemnly. "Our Wolverine has claws now."
