Hey, 'nuther chapter here! U lovin it?

James,

I'm sorry that you had to go through this. I hope that you make it through the operation. I don't want to lose a good friend like you. My pride has gotten the better of me these past few years. I just want us to be the best.

When you are released from the recovery area, which I'm sure won't be too long; I have booked us a flight to meet with Yuriko, in Japan. I know how much you love it there and I think that we both need a vacation from the military.

I'm getting worried about you. You don't seem the same. I know you protect that kid, but you have to keep your head. I remember when we met at that bar and you were a cage fighter. The Wolverine was the one I met. You took control of that side of you thankfully, and showed your true self. You must keep that extreme and animalistic part of you contained, because that can consume you. I'm sorry about this, but I have a drug for you if something happens to you and you can't control it. It's called med curium chloride. I know you really don't care, but it may help you. I will try to watch over you while you're recovering. I can't say I completely trust these scientists. They fear you and I and I think the government is against us on what we do.

How you could choose to do this to yourself is probably in spite of me and I hope I am wrong about that. I know I made you angry with me, but I was only trying to exceed these limitations. You must believe me that I never wanted to hurt anyone. I can't even comprehend what pain you go through.

This will sound a little funny, but I miss being with you on those missions and I do worry about you and so does Yuriko. Don't think that nobody needs you. I may go insane if it weren't for your constant up keeping of me. I must thank you for that.

I'm sorry for this, but when you told me about your history I was stunned. I made records about it in the files at the base. Now that I've done this to you, I figured it's not my decision to record or not. Do what you will with them.

James, you are the greatest soldier and friend that I have ever had or ever known. I feel as though you are like a brother to me, and I'm sorry that my pride has gotten in the way of that friendship. Please forgive me.

Your friend,

William

This had to be the millionth time he read the letter. He still didn't believe it. Would this be his chance to see his past? Will the information still be there?

Scott came over and sat in the row opposite of Logan's seat. He was still staring at the letter from Stryker. Since they left he hadn't even looked up to see where they were going.

"Ahem." He coughed getting Logan's attention. "You still trying to sound out the words in that letter? If you want I'll shorten the words so you can understand it."

"Bite me. I understand it fine, dickhead. How far are we?"

"We're almost there. We should get there in about 5 minutes."

Logan returned to looking at the letter. Scott got up and went back to the controls where Jean was. They sat quietly for the 5 minutes. They landed in a field similar to the one where the helicopter was when they were at Alkali when Stryker was in charge of the operation to get rid of all the mutants. They all noticed this. Scott put his arms around Jean as they walked towards the embankment where the entrance to the base was.

Once inside Logan suggested that they should split up.

"You sure you want to do that Logan?" Jean asked, concern writ on her features. I don't know how you'll take it if the information you find isn't what you expected. I don't want you to go through everything alone. "We can look with you."

"No, if we can split up, we may be able to find it faster," Logan said. Besides, I know where it's at. Sort of. It's near where I found you. I'd rather be alone. You should know that by now. I don't want you two breathing down my back while I'm trying to look at things.

"Logan, I do know that. All you had to do was say that you didn't want us "breathing down your back" and we would understand," Jean said knowingly.

Damnit. I hate it when she does that.

"I know."

Scott decided not to get into it. He all but knew how it was to be with a telepath. He and Jean stayed where they were and watched Logan walk through the doors to the base to look for his past.

Ok, that's all for now. REVIEW!!!!!!!! Pweeeeese????
