Okay, I got reviews begging me to put up another chapter, so here ya go.
Logan, finally made it to Alkali Lake, Canada. He had made good time and he had enough supplies to last about a week there. He stopped along the road and walked to the edge of the lake. He stopped and looked out over the lake remembering the last time he was here.
"Hey Jean," he said quietly to the lake, "God, what am I doing here?"
He looked down and breathed out a sigh. When he breathed in he caught a scent. It was vaguely familiar. As fast as he caught it, he lost it.
"Wonder what that was."
"Hmmm, he actually showed. The General will be very pleased," said the young man. He was looking down on the lake where Wolverine stood.
"Good, he came alone. This will work perfectly. Wonder if he's looking for the General or that girl I found. I must ask General Stryker what I should do with her. Maybe he will let me have her. She's very pretty and has beautiful red hair," he quietly thought out loud.
He slowly turned and left, it would be a very interesting day.
After about 10 minutes, Logan turned to go back to the jeep.
"Well, I guess this Dagger guy didn't feel like showing."
He walked to the jeep and smelled that same scent again only this time it was stronger. He turned around and saw a figure looming in the trees. He unsheathed his claws.
"Whoever's out there, I'd suggest you turn tail and run," he listened for any sound.
He walked into the grove of pine trees to look for whoever was following him. He found nothing. After a thorough look he sheathed his claws and turned around to walk to the jeep. Before he got out of the tree line he felt a needle drive into his neck. He turned to see who had done this, but by the time he turned around all he saw was a blurry figure. The next thing he saw was the snow and then black.
"Well, that was easier than I thought it would be," said the young man standing over the Wolverine, "and you were the greatest assassin in the world. Ha! Looks like I've upstaged the great Wolverine. You know . . . if the General didn't really want to watch you die while begging for mercy from the great agony of what we have planned, I would kill you now to show how great I am."
He grabbed Wolverine's shoulders and started to drag him back to the complex.
"I wonder how Logan's doin'," Rogue said to Ororo.
"I'm sure he's fine. How about we ask the Professor to check up on him," Ororo said as she got up to find Charles Xavier.
She found him in his office having a chat with Scott.
"Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt, but I was wondering if-"
"Of course Ororo, it would be no problem," said Xavier as he wheeled himself to Cerebro. He went in and started the machine.
"Checking up on Logan?" Scott asked when he got to the outside of Cerebro.
"Well, it's a long trip sooo . . ." Rogue started.
"I get it. I was also wondering how that," he stopped and looked at Ororo who was glairing at him, "guy's doing and treating my jeep."
The doors opened and Xavier came out looking shocked and pale.
"Logan's in grave danger. You must go quickly. His life is in danger."
K? Tell me if you want me to keep going. Tanks!
