August 15th cont.
Now I know your thinking something weird happened. Well, with the lights I think it was a power shortage, with Logan yes, it was weird. After it all happened I just kneeled there like an idiot. It took me a few seconds to get up the nerve to shake Logan. When I did, there was no point to because he had already bolted up.
" Where am I?" he demanded in his gruff way.
" I was hoping you could tell me," I said. Suddenly I realized I was scared. I mean I was scared while all this was happening but I had this weird feeling. It was like I was confident I could win and the world could go to hell for all I cared. But the feeling was gone. It was like I was alone. I guess I must have looked dazed or something because Logan looked at me strangely.
" You alright, kid?" he asked concerned.
" Yeah," I replied, " I just feel weird." " What do you mean?" he demanded, clearly worried.
" It's nothing drastic," I protested, " I just feel kind of…." " Empty," said a cruel voice. I recognized it. It was the voice that had ordered me to be dumped in the "waiting area". Turning around I came face to face with a tall gaunt figure. The figure wore a lab coat and was surrounded by at least a hundred, okay maybe thirty military guys.
The creepy lab coat guy looked familiar to me. But, before I could place him I was yanked up by Logan. I shivered as one cold, painful looking claw was placed at my throat. Panicking I started to scream, " What the heck…," but Logan pulled the claw tighter against me and all I shut up quickly.
" Logan," said the man, " Do you really think a hostage will stop the inevitable." You know I all I could think was, Gee, thanks a lot. This psycho has his claw to my throat and all you can do is tell him it won't help! Hello, I really want to live to see twenty. Of course, creepo didn't seem to realize my distress.
" Who are you?" demand Logan.
Man, what a piece of work. He's made me a hostage against someone he doesn't even know. For all I care, the creepo could be a friend of Logan's.
" It is not important, Wolverine. All that is important is that it is about time you returned." " Returned?" " Why yes, it's time you returned to Weapon X." It was at this moment reality came crashing in. I realized the creepy lab coat was the one who gave Logan his claws. I also realized that Logan had let me go and charged at the creep. He didn't get very close because he met a reign of gunfire. Me, I ducked because I saw the guns go up, but Logan was to blind in fury. He went down, hard. If you hadn't notice there seems to be a pattern of injuring those who could heal themselves. The fire lasted a few seconds more and everything grew quiet. Logan laid still his wounds healing. The creepy lab coat slowly approached. Bending over Logan he smiled cruelly.
" You won't be escaping again, Wolverine, I'll make sure of that." That's when something inside me snapped. I felt an unknown strength arise. It wasn't the confidence I had before. No, now it was anger. Jumping to my feet I fired my darts before the creep could react. The soldiers looked dumbstruck. I reloaded and fired at them. I hit every target. If Mr. Summers had been there I think he would have been impressed. Then without thinking about it I grabbed Logan and dragged him out of the room. I managed to pull him down most of the hallway when he woke up.
" No, kid," he said, " You're going the wrong way." " What!" I exclaimed.
Amused Logan tried to stand up. He was still healing though and only managed to get to his knees.
" Don't," I said, " I'll support you. You just point the way." Oddly enough Logan agreed to this gratefully. Slowly we made are way out of the maze, all on his memory. I'd also like to add that the metal in his body must have weighed an actual ton. He managed to get us out of what I know realized was a military compound. After making are way to a tree I laid him at the root and took a breather, like I said he was heavy.
" Did you come by yourself?" he asked as I continued my pant.
" No," I replied, " Me and the …others," I suddenly realized what I had done.
" What others?" he demanded.
" You know Bobby, Jubes, Pyro, Rouge…" With amazing speed the guy jumped me and pushed me against another tree.
" Where's Marie?!" he yelled viciously.
" In… in there," I replied nervously pointing towards the compound we had just escaped from.
