Laura waited impatiently for her boyfriend to arrive back home. It was late and Laura could hear thunder rumbling in the distance. Tonight, was supposed to be special today was the one month anniversary of Laura and Peter living together, but Peter hadn't been home. Although it may have been the Parker luck getting in the way again. He'd never been this late for dinner even as Spider-Man. So, she decided to go look for him. She got into her Wolverine gear and headed on out to look for Peter.

Sniffing his scent, she followed the scent atop the roofs of Manhattan until she sniffed something else.

Blood.

Shock and fear ran through her as she feared the worst. Jumping through rooftop to rooftop until she saw him. Her heart beat was going through her chest a mile a minute. His suit was torn and bloody, his face almost unrecognizable.

"Peter! Who did this to you?!" she held him tight as she looked for where the wound was when she smelled a familiar scent. One she wanted to forget after all these years. It was Kamura, she had gotten to Peter and was now coming after her.

"Hello X", said a female voice.

Now Laura was angry she popped her claws out and turned around to see Kamura and a squad of armed men with her. She was about to charge when Kamura held out a vile with green liquid in it.

'Oh God no.' Laura thought to herself. Her former handler smiled a sadistic grin. "Its been awhile X, do you really think you could hide forever from me. Once we found out where you lived and found your little boy toy it was all to easy X-23. We already planted the scent on him."

Peter slowly got up, beaten and battered he pressed a device on his wrist that would let any avenger near his vicinity come to his aid. Looking at the wokan he loved he saw her eyes turn red, Laura turned toward him and lunged at him.

Spider-Sense blazing Peter managed to doge out of the way. He couldn't keep this up he had to get the scent off to keep Laura off of him. Just as Laura was about to attack again Laura was hit in the face with a ball of fire. Peter looked up to see his friend Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch.

"Hey spidey got your message! What the hell is wrong with Wolverine!" he shouted running to his friends side.

"Trigger scent." He managed to mumble through the pain. Laura went in for another attack at Peter, Johnny threw another fire ball at Laura, but Laura just rolled out of the way. She sliced at Peter who tried to flip out of the way, but the pain was too much now. Laura slashed at his chest deep leaving two claw marks right across the chest.

"Laura listen to me this isn't you. I know you can hear me please! You aren't a weapon anymore you're Laura Kinney." Peter pleaded as she growled and slashed at him.

Kimura laughed at Peter's attempts to reason with Laura. "She's gone boy and she won't stop till you-", but Peter didn't let her finish while dodging he webbed her mouth then webbed her face pulling on the web hard making her head smack into the concreate hard.

Johnny knocked out the rest of the soldiers on the roof. Noticing Laura was still being controlled by the scent Johnny flew in ready to tackle Laura. However Laura saw Johnny from the corner of her eye and kicked at him right at the exact moment, causing Johnny to stop mid-flight and slide across the rooftop unconscious.

Peter's eyes widened and tried to web Laura's hands but she would just cut the webbing off and charge again. Peter tried to doge an attack from Laura but she kicked his legs out from under him. Peter's eyes widened as he saw Laura's hand raise ready to strike, but she didn't. She just stood their claw raised as rain began to start pouring down. Peter noticed her eyes weren't red anymore, they were back to those emerald green eyes, and there were tears in them. Laura collapsed on her knees and started crying holding Peter tight.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't want to hurt you Peter. Every time it happens it's like I can see everything but im not in control." She buried her face in his neck as the rain fell on them. Suddenly a laugh could be heard from the other side. Kimura with a broken nose, blood pouring.

"You're nothing X-23" Kimura growled," this isn't over X. I will make you my weapon to control." She jumped off the side of the building disappearing into the night.

The Avengers and the rest of The Fantastic Four arrived shortly after this. Captain America and Wolverine asked Laura and Peter what happened while the others took Johnny back to the Baxter building to see if he had any serious injuries.

"Don't worry kid we'll find her." Logan said.

"If you find her…Kimura's mine." Laura threatened.

No one hurts her friends or the people she loves. Laura promised herself that Kimura will face the wrath of The Wolverine.

Logan helped Laura get Peter to their apartment once they got Peter inside Logan promised Laura he'd call her if he found any information on Kimura.

"Ow" Peter said as Laura began stitching his wounds.

"I shouldn't have let you go out alone."

"Laura you did-"

"I ALMOST LOST YOU IF I WAS THERE THEN YOU WOULDN'T HAVE ENDED UP LIKE THIS!" Tears began to well up in Laura's eyes, Peter held her hands tightly rubbing his thumbs over her hands."Laura it could've happened either way." He said " you're not going to lose me if that's what your thinking, I promise."

She kissed him and held him tightly. She wasn't going to let anyone else take Peter again she would not lose him too. Not his rouges gallery or hers no one was touching the man she loved no one.
