Another day, another chapter. Here ya go


A few hours later, Dagger returned to Logan's room. He entered the room

"So Wolverine, have you completed your first assignment? Come on out," and then was attacked from behind by Logan. He was hidden behind the door. Logan grabbed Dagger and punched him on the back of the head, causing him to fall to the ground. Then Logan ran out the door.

That seemed a little too easy. Where's the exit? I gotta get outa here.

He sprinted in his bare feet past many of what looked like the jail cells that he was in. Then he ran past a room with files of who knows what, then another and another, and then a dead end. God damnit! Now where?

He started back, but then he heard footsteps in hot pursuit. He turned into one of the rooms with the file cabinets and locked the door behind him. At least I should get some time to look for some information before I get back to that Dagger guy. He saw another door, file cabinets, and a desk with one chair. He started looking through the files in the file cabinet. They were in no particular order.

Oyama, Yuriko

No.

He shuffled through more files.

Stryker, Jason

Stryker's son. The Professor told me about what he did.

Worthington III, Warren

Who the hell? He shuffled for more.

Howlett, James

Where the hell am I? Where's 'Logan'?

Wagner, Kurt

Well, Blue boy's here, must be all the mutants he took advantage of and controlled.

Hewitt, Gavin

Well this is the last name in the drawer. Wonder if this that Dagger guy. It looks like it was recently pulled out. He looked through it and sure enough it was. There was a picture and a bio of him.

"Regenerative power, hmm like me, 4 short claws and one long claw that is unleashed from the underside of the arm, well that I already know. Come on, I need something useful. Mercenary, assassin, ex cetera, ex cetera. Taught by, Wolverine . . . god, he was right, I did teach him. What else is here?" he read aloud.

Then he heard the door trying to be opened. He put the file back in the cabinet and headed to through the other door. He hurriedly turned around and closed the door. When he turned back around to see where he would go next he met with a familiar figure. She was lying on an operating table staring up into the light. She was strapped there spread-eagled. There was a clear blank look on her face.

"My god, Jean!" Logan said as he ran over to her, "Jean, Jean! You're alive. Are you okay? I, I mean we, we all thought you were dead." He cut off the shackles with his claws. She still didn't move.

"Jean? Come on. Jean? What happened?" He started trying to get her to move, but she was limp. He made sure she was alive, she was, but she wasn't the same. He turned her head so he the back of the neck and there was a small round scar there. God, they brainwashed her too.

The door to the room was then kicked open by Dagger. He seemed very angry about the whole ordeal. He stormed over to Logan.

"What the hell did you do to her?" Logan demanded.

"What I did. I saved her. I didn't leave her to die. She said that she wanted to be like me and live. I took her back here and taught her how to be like me. Like us."

"Then why the fuck did you use that, that, stuff on her? She would rather die than be like you. She left to save us," Logan said still holding her in his arms.

"Put her down. She's mine now. Isn't that right Phoenix?" he asked her.

"Yes," she said monotonously.

"No, Jean. Jean, no, your being controlled. Fight it. Come on, Jean I need you. Please tell me, tell me at least that you know me. Come on Jean," Logan pleaded. She looked at Dagger.

"Go ahead tell him the truth," Dagger said with a grin.

"I do not know you or want to know you. I want to be with Dagger," she said dully as she got off the table and walked over beside Dagger.

"See? Now what so you want to happen to him, Phoenix?" he asked while gliding his hands through her hair.

"Don't you touch her you-"

"Let the lady speak!"

"I want him to be punished for his crimes against the General."

"Jean, what? Punished?"

"Then who should do the punishing, my Phoenix?"

"Anyone that can inflict the most pain in that animal."

"Good girl. Now go see how the General's doing while I put the animal back in his cage."

Logan couldn't move. The shock of Jean saying those things froze his in his place. Dagger easily went over grabbed him and knocked him out with a well-placed punch to the head. The last thing he saw was Jean looking at him with a heartless glare.


Scott and Ororo got down to the complex and found that the doors were locked. There were also cameras all around the compound.

"Scott, would you?" Ororo asked.

Scott used his optic blast to blast through the handle. They were in, only to find three different hallways leading to who-knows-where.

"Now what?"

"Let's split up I'll go to the left and you go to the right. If you get in a dead end retrace your steps. Keep in touch with the communicator," Scott said as he took to the left hallway. Logan, where are you? I hope this isn't the same thing that happened to him before.


K? Another chapter later. Did ya have fun? Tell me!!
