Relatively short chapter.
Chapter 12: Will go wrong.
Xavier took a deep breath. "Magneto is a mutant that wants to eliminate mankind. He allowed himself to be captured by the weapon X grunts so that he could be sure they were really making this virus."
"Victor was working for Magneto, as a mole in the weapon X branch. He was sent to the institute to try and throw us off the trail, before he came, we had no idea as to Magneto's plan. Then you came along. You were the only one we could use for finding him, Logan."
"They're going to use the virus to target humans, Logan. We can't let that happen." Xavier said, clenching his hand into a fist.
"And why not, bub. Seems T'me that if mutation is evolutionary, they don't got much time left anyway." Logan said.
"That's just it, Logan. This mutation is evolutionary, and it made a new species. What I understand is that we are now the minority, in a few decades, we'll be the majority. Then what will happen to the homo sapiens? They'll be in the same place we're in now..."
"Get to the point Chuck. What the hell does any of this have to do with me?" Logan asked.
"Humanity betrayed you, Logan. But this is your chance to be a hero. The one time in your long life that you can prove yourself to be something more than a walking knife."
Logan sneered a bit. "Why should I? These bastards didn't hesitate to wipe my memory."
"Those were only a few humans, Logan. Not all of them are like that. They think that we're all bastards too, you know..."
Logan stopped by the console. "Xavier. Tell me somethin'. What the hell is Silver Fox doin' here?"
"Silver Fox?" Xavier asked. "I didn't pick up any mutant signatures besides you and the prisoners. Are you sure it's her?"
"'course I'm sure..." He said, looking around for some empty vials, but there weren't any. "Xavier, we got a problem.... There's nothin' here fer me T'put the serum in."
"You'll have to figure something out, Logan. We don't have much time..." Xavier trailed off.
Logan looked around, looking back at the scientists, then to the console. "Hm?" he leaned around it, looking at the back and seeing a small black box with the phrase "Sweet dreams" written on it, accompanied by a smiley face.
Logan picked it up, then turned it over and saw the digital countdown switch from 2 to 1. "Sh--!" He let go of it the moment it went off, everything in the lab went up in flames.
Once everything had subsided, Logan picked himself up, the skin on his hands burnt and he could swear he saw the glint of metal underneath some of the flesh. He limped away from the wreckage.
"Chuck. That serum ain't going to happen..." He murmered breathlessly. "They rigged the lab."
Xavier cursed himself mentally. He should have known! "Logan. There's a suspension bridge to the north, head there and towards the mountain. Ororo, Nightcrawler, and Rogue will be there shortly."
Logan made his exit quick. The people in the facility were too busy putting out fires or trying to escape to notice him. Once outside, he found his bearings. He ran through the gate to the north, seeing the mountain that Xavier was talking about.
He began to walk the bridge, seeing the river below itand looking back up to the other side. It began to get foggy. "What now...?"
Then she appeared infront of him. He almost stopped breathing when he saw her. "Silver Fox! What the hell are you doing here?"
"Helping you, Logan." She said, taking a step towards him. "I'm the one that saved you from the dogs, and the one that saved you from Fury."
"Saved me from Fury?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.
"The moment you got the serum for humans, he was going to kill you." She said.
"Tch, that wouldn't be easy, darlin'. But that doesn't tell me how the hell you're here."
"I'm a ghost, Logan. In every sense of the word." She said, "I'll won't die, yet."
Logan glanced at the mountain. "I need T'get up there, and soon." He could hear the rotors of a helicopter nearby. It didn't take long for the Helicopter to appear by the bridge, the hatch opened, Sabertooth was inside.
She held out her hand to him. "I'm sorry, Logan." He raised an eyebrow, then took her hand. She pulled his hand towards her, then let go and punched him in the stomach. Hard.
The punch was so hard that it knocked the wind out of him, his eyes widened in the same manner Fury's had when she attacked him. "You can't come with me." She said, wrapping her arm around his side.
He kept his eyes on her, still shocked at what happened. With a kiss on the cheek, she threw him over the side of the bridge. Sabertooth smiled a bit, watching him fall. Logan saw the blackbird fly overhead, then he hit the water.
"Fade away." Silver Fox said once she heard the splash.
"It'll make everything easier."
The end.
