Origins Uncovered

Yeah so I wrote chapter six before I went on vacation but FF wouldn't let me log in and I forgot to change my little blurb, but as you can see chpt 7 is done. I also started 8 but I'm not sure if I like it so I may redo it. Enjoy.

Bobby stood up in the back of the blackbird, and fell against the walls as he tried to gain his balance. As he stumbled about he said,

"Mmkay, not one of my best ideas. The Professor probably figured out that I'm gone now. Jean and Kitty are probably flipping a shit."

Just as Bobby had predicted, Kitty and Jean had Kurt cornered up against the wall.

"Are you crazy?!" Jean yelled.

"What were you thinking Kurt?" Kitty said, "If my boyfriend gets hurt I'm gonna make myself a new rug!"

Kurt held up his hands in self-defense, "I tried to talk him out of it you crazies! He vouldn't listen!"

Scott put his hand on Jean's shoulder, "I highly doubt that Bobby was going to be stopped if he already had this idea in his head."

Angel turned to the Professor, "So are we going to go after him?"

"I don't think we will. Robert looks up to Logan, and this will be a good experience for him." The Professor replied. "Let's all get some rest, and hopefully the two will be back in the immediate future."

As the group walked out of the room Kitty whispered to Kurt, "Throw. Rug."

In northern Canada, the X-Jet had just landed. Logan jumped out of the plane and looked around. The land was covered in what seemed to be fresh snow, and gave no signs of any form of Weapon X. Logan walked to the back of the X-Jet and opened the hatch. He instinctively sniffed and growled.

"Ice-cube! Get your ass out here right now!"

Bobby jumped out of the back of the X-Jet, saw Logan's face and said, "Oh crap! This isn't Disney World!"

"Funny."

"I thought so."

"What do you think you're doin' here Drake?"

"I wanted to come…I bet you can use my help."

"Yeah ice-pick, I most definitely need the help of a 14 year old hot head to infiltrate a terrorist organization."

"See? Admitting it is the hardest step."

Logan growled, "Shut up. I guess you're here no so I guess you can stay. But don't do anything dumb."

The two walked along and Bobby looked around. "So…I just hitched a ride in your plane to walk around in the snow. I make snow man…we coulda done this at home."

"Kid, I ain't gonna tell you again. This is a STEALTH mission."

"Can I ask one question?"

"If I say no will you still ask it?"

"Yes."

"Go ahead."

"Sabes told you to come here right? Does this not have trap written all over it?"

"Look kid, this trip ain't really about followin' Sabertooth. See, when I was with Weapon X, it wasn't just me an' Sabertooth. There was a man by the name o' Maverick, and a frail by the name o' Silver Fox."

"What happened to them?"

"Maverick disappeared somewhere. I don't know what happened to Fox. I really wish I did."

"Did something go on there?"

"Yeah…"

Bobby's eyes suddenly widened with fear. Logan looked at him questioningly. "Kid?"

"Did Maverick have a big-ass gun?"

"Yeah."

"I would duck."

Suddenly, a shot rang out and Logan jumped out top of Bobby. Bobby yelled, "Get off me I've got him."

Bobby jumped to his feet and looked around, but didn't see anyone. He was surprised when a man in a yellow battle-suit drop kicked him from behind, sending him flying. Logan jumped up and tackled the man.

"North, what the hell are you doin'?"

"I don't know how you know me, but I'm dropping you."

Suddenly, a stream of ice sent Maverick flying into a tree, holding him there.

Iceman had a finger pointed at him and said, "Freeze! Ha. That one never gets old."

Maverick glared at Iceman and Wolverine from behind his helmet, "Who the hell are you people?!"

Logan ripped his mask off and popped his claws with a SNIKT. "Member me now?"

"Logan?!"

"The one and only bub."

"What are you doing here?"

"Creed gave me a note that said to come here."

"I got one too…didn't know that Creed sent it." He nodded at Bobby, "Didn't know you ran a day care."

Bobby glared at him, "HEY! I'm pretty sure that the abominable snowman didn't ice you to that tree."

Logan barked out a laugh as he sliced the ice off of Maverick, "This is Bobby Drake, he goes to the school that I'm teachin' at. He was hidin' in the back of my jet."

"Nice."

Bobby tapped his foot, "Um…so…I'm prob getting grounded for this and would prefer something fun to happen before we have to go back."

Wolverine punched him in the shoulder, "Aright kid, let's get moving."

Maverick looked at him, "You got a scent?"

"Sabertooth."

Maverick grinned, "Nice."

Wolverine smiled back, "Speakin' o' scents…why couldn't I pick up yours?"

Maverick patted his battle suit, "After years with you and Creed, I realized that being stealthy isn't just about not being seen. My suit also masks my scent. I also can turn on a sound proof field around me. It masks whatever forms of noise I may make."

Iceman smiled appreciatively, "Very nice."

"Why thank you."

Logan stopped and held up his hand. "Well it looks like you're the only one maskin' your scent. Creed's is getting' stronger. I'm gonna scout ahead. Watch the kid for me."

"Hey! I resent that" Iceman said.

Wolverine grinned back over his shoulder, "Well then it's a good thing nobody asked your opinion." He began to jog ahead of the others.

As Logan ran ahead, Iceman fell into step next to Maverick, "So it looks like you and Logan are pretty tight."

Maverick nodded, "We got along pretty well, and being that Logan can rarely say that about someone who isn't a woman, then I guess you can say we're pretty tight. What about you? Logan isn't usually a fan of kids, but it looks like he likes you."

Bobby shrugged, "I don't know. He's pretty badass to all of us, but that fact that he didn't beat me up for coming is something I guess."

"How many kids you got at that school?"

"Six counting me, and four teachers counting Wolverine."

Maverick gave a low whistle, "I'm surprised Wolverine is sticking around there."

"Yeah…it's not always the most calm place."

At about the same time, Beast had assembled Angel, Shadowcat, and Nightcrawler in the Danger Room.

"What are we doin' down here Hank?" Angel asked.

Hank smiled, "Well my young friend, as my first endeavor as one of the faculty here at the Institute, the Professor has decided that my task will be to put you all through a basic Danger Room test. Now to set up the programs I've written for you."

Hank walked over to the Danger Room computer as Kitty stifled a giggle. Kurt and Warren shot her a questioning look, but she mouthed wait and see. Hank typed a few things into the computer, and the hologram began to form. A few moments later, the danger room became a green hill top, and it began to lightly drizzle.

Hank looked at the scenery and said, "I wanted Warren's aerial obstacle course…what is this?"

At that moment, a hologram of Logan strode by clad in nothing but a pair of hot pink boxers. He was spinning around a Mickey Mouse umbrella singing in a high soprano, "I'm siiiiiiiiiiiinging in the rain…I'm siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigin' in the rain."

Kurt, Kitty, and Warren were at this point on the floor laughing hysterically. Hank gave the three the evil eye and said, "I wouldn't laugh if I were you Warren, have you finished bringing sexy back or shall I just whip you for your misbehavior?" This sobered Warren up quite a bit, but Kitty and Kurt kept on laughing.

Meanwhile, Bobby and Maverick were still following Wolverine. Bobby broke the silence by asking, "So do you know the answers to the mystery of Wolverine?"

Maverick shook his head, "I know less than he does, which is saying a lot. What do you want to know?"

Iceman thought for a minute, "Who was he before the whole Weapon X thing went down, what happened between him and Sabertooth, and why would Sabertooth want him back here?"

Maverick said, "I don't know the answer to the first question, no one does. Why would Sabertooth bring us here? Logan may not have realized this, but this is the anniversary of the day that he underwent the adamantium bonding process."

"Knowing Logan, he realized that. What about him and Sabes?"

"That's not an easy answer. The two were never on good terms to begin with. But once…a little while before Logan and I escaped…we were all on a mission…"

FLASHBACK

"North wake up!"

"I'm doing my best here Logan, but I'm bein' swarmed over here!"

Logan glared at Maverick who was currently fending off approximately eight SHIELD agents. Logan looked over to Sabertooth who had just knocked out a pair of agents and was laughing over their bodies.

"Creed! Go help Mav out!"

Sabertooth growled at Wolverine, "Don't tell me what to do runt."

Wolverine snarled back, "I'm mission commander, do what I say."

"Fine."

Sabertooth ran over to Maverick and in one felt swoop knocked seven of he eight agents out. He pulled the last one off of Maverick and pulled the man's mask of. Underneath the mask there was a timid man who had started to cry.

"P-p-please. I have three kids and a wife at home…don't kill me."

Sabertooth slashed the man's arm, and licked the blood off of his fingers. "Mmmm. If they taste as good as you I may have to pay them a visit. See you in hell sweetie." He prepared to slit the man's throat, when he was shot in the side with a plasma cannon. He looked to see a tall grey haired woman in a green costume glaring at him.

"We do not kill Creed."

"Why you little bi-"

Logan stepped in front of Creed and said, "Back off." As Sabertooth walked away, Logan smiled at the woman, "Atta girl Fox."

Silver Fox smiled back, "Thank you Logan."

From behind the two, Maverick yelled, "HEY! We have more company that we expected, we've got to haul it." Maverick pointed at the additional platoon of soldiers coming in, and began to run towards an elevator. Creed loped after him, after knocking out a few guards.

Logan looked at Silver Fox, "Come on darlin' time to go."

Fox aimed her plasma cannon at the SHIELD agents, "Go, I'll cover you."

Logan nodded and ran towards the elevator. He got inside with Sabertooth and Maverick and looked back to see where Silver Fox was. He was relieved to see her closing in on the elevator, but she was then shot in the leg, and fell down.

"FOX!" he yelled.

Wolverine was about to run after her but Sabertooth grabbed him from behind and pushed the door close button on the elevator. A few moments later, they all returned, and found no SHIELD agents, and no Silver Fox. Wolverine stepped back out of the elevator and sniffed the air. After a moment, where a tear almost rolled down Logan's face, he let out a low guttural growl.

"You ok Logan?" Maverick asked.

"CREED!" Logan turned to Sabertooth who was leaning against a wall grinning.

"Can I help you runt?"

Logan roared and dove on top of Creed, initiating the first of a lifetime of battles.

END FLASHBACK

Iceman looked shocked at the story he had just heard, "So he left her to die?"

"Yeah. Not long after that, Logan and I escaped from Weapon X. I went into hiding, and he began working for a super team in Canada."

"Wait…Canadian super team?"

"Yeah…it's a funny story actually—" Maverick began but he was cut off.

"Mav, Ice-cube, over here." Logan said in a loud whisper and waved the two over.

The two quickly jogged through a heavily wooded area, until they came to a clearing.

Iceman looked up at the fortress looking establishment in front of them. "So, um, that's a pretty big building, yeah?"

Logan nodded, "Yup."

"And, correct me if I'm wrong, but between you're enhanced whatevers and the Professor's brain power, you couldn't find this big ass building. You needed Sabertooth to find it for you?"

Maverick frowned, "I'm sure it's cloaked somehow. Creed, and whoever he's working for, made it easy for us to find."

"What makes you think he's working for someone."

Logan answered this question, "Cause he ain't too smart."

Iceman nodded thoughtfully, "Well at least you have an advantage on him."

"How do you figure that?"

Iceman grinned, "Well, he only expected you two. He didn't realize he was gonna have to deal with me."

Logan rolled his eyes, "Yeah kid, Sabertooth is quakin' in his boots."

Iceman said, "HEY! I am quite the ninja of ice!" He iced up and created himself a sword, which he twirled around, but accidentally sliced through a tree, causing it to fall down with a crash.

Wolverine growled, "Kid, are you dumb?"

Maverick nodded, "It looks that way."

The three waited anxiously for a few moments to see if anyone would come after them, but nothing happened. Logan looked at the other two, "Ok let's go in, and keep quiet Drake."

They began to make their way inside of the building. The main hall of the building, was made to look like an old castle, but was completely empty.

Maverick frowned, "It's quiet."

Bobby grinned, "A little TOO quiet."

"Bobby."

"Sorry."

They began to proceed down the hall, Maverick was on point with his gun ready, Logan was in the middle with his claws popped on one hand, and Bobby was bringing up the rear. Logan and Maverick walked underneath an archway, which Bobby was about to pass under, when he was grabbed from behind, and a hand covered his mouth.

"Mmf." Bobby yelled and began to ice up. A woman whispered in his ear.

"Sorry, insulated costume."

"Mmmvrrrrnnnn." Bobby tried to get Logan's attention, who turned around when he picked up another scent. He began to run towards Bobby, but a metallic door dropped down through the archway. Logan rolled his eyes and popped his claws and slashed at the door.

"OW! Damn it" Logan yelled as his claws bounced off the door.

Maverick walked up to the door and felt where Logan slashed. There wasn't a scratch, "Adamantium door. Nice touch. Definitely Weapon X."

Logan held his wrist, "What was your first clue."

Maverick looked back at the door, "So what's your call? Go after him or keep moving. He's your student."

Wolverine thought for a moment, "Let's keep going."

Meanwhile, Bobby had been just thrown into a cell. A glass pane covered over the cell.

Bobby grinned at his captor, "Are you stupid?" he iced up and fired a beam at the glass. It had no effect."

"Unbreakable, temperature resistant glass. Courtesy of Weapon X"

"Who the hell are you lady. Are you working with Sabertooth? What do you have against Logan and Maverick."

The woman pulled her hood off to reveal a head of long hair. "Recognize me?"

Iceman looked her up and down, "Nice legs. Are you Ms December on the Playboy calendar?"

"No. I'm an old ally of your friend Wolverine. I am Silver Fox."

"Wait. A) I thought you were dead. B) I thought you were hot for Logan."

"More like left to die child. You do not understand what kind of man Wolverine was and still is. He was more vicious before the adamantium bonding process than after. But, don't trust me, I'll just let you watch a video to keep you from being bored. Goodbye."

Silver Fox walked away, and the screen opposite of Iceman's cell flickered on.

FILE NAME: LOGAN/WOLVERINE

A montage of pictures began to play. The first was Logan holding a microchip, while stepping on an old man's face. The next showed his Weapon X training where he dispatched large groups of men who attacked him, and showed no mercy after they fell. Bobby watched horrified as he saw a side of the man he looked up to, that he never knew existed.

Logan and Maverick had just made their way down the last section of the hallway. Wolverine held his hand out to stop Maverick and sniffed.

"Sabertooth."

Just as he announced it Sabertooth jumped down from one of the rafters. He roundhouse kicked Wolverine into a wall and snarled.

"Nice ta see ya again so soon runt."

He was about to jump on Logan when Maverick shot him in the back causing him to fly into the wall opposite of Wolverine. As Logan got up and shook himself off he said,

"I had him."

"You were on the ground."

"I still had him."

"Sure."

"It's nice to see that at least a couple members of Team X don't wish to kill each other." The two spun around to see Silver Fox right behind them.

Logan looked shocked. "Fox, is that you?"

He walked towards her and she opened her arms to him.

"Logan…" Maverick said cautiously.

Wolverine embraced Silver Fox, but then his eyes bulged as she stabbed him in the stomach and kicked him in to Maverick.

She grinned and said, "You should've listen to him."

Maverick pushed Wolverine off of him, "Why are you doing this?"

Silver Fox's cocky grinned faltered for a moment, "YOU LEFT ME TO DIE," she screamed.

Maverick shouted back and pointed at Sabertooth, "It was HIS fault."

Silver Fox smiled and nodded, "Yes, he was responsible as well, and trust me, he is paying the price." She pulled out a remote, and pressed a button. Sabertooth screamed as an electric shot hit him, from a device strapped around his ankle. He slowly rose to his feet after it was done.

Wolverine barked at him, "You aren't here by choice?"

"Buncha rocket scientists aren't ya?"

Silver Fox said, "Yes, Creed is only here to serve a larger purpose. After your tussle with him at your home, I captured him, attached this device to him, and put him back with the Brotherhood. I then forced him to leave the notes for the two of you."

Wolverine asked her, "But why Fox? If ya thought we betrayed ya, then why didn't you just off us?"

"Because, as of now, the two of you, along with your frosty friend, are working for Weapon X." Logan looked behind him and snarled,

"YOU!"

A bald man with glasses walked down the steps. He had a ghoulish face and a cocky grin, the same features that haunted Logan's nightmares. The same face that stood over him, prodding him like a lab animal, while the adamantium bonding process took place.

"Yes, it is I, Doctor Cornelius, your old employer."

Logan turned to Fox, "You're working for this filth?!"

Fox nodded and walked over to him, "And so much more as well." She kissed him deeply.

Maverick nodded, "Yeah so that's just pretty gross."

Wolverine popped his claws and said, "Maverick."

"Ready."

"Take em."

The two rushed Cornelius, but Silver Fox whipped out a dart gun, and shot the two. They immediately froze in place.

Cornelius smiled, "Paralysis darts. Powerful enough to survive your healing factor, and sharp enough to penetrate your armor. Adamantium tipped wouldn't you know? Silver Fox, leave me with my old friends."

Silver Fox walked out of the room and over to where Iceman was being held. He was starring at the video with a shocked expression.

"You ok?"

Iceman snarled, "Yeah, I'm fine, just peachy. You grab me, lock me up, and show me videos of someone I looked up to that make him look like a piece of trash. This is a wonderful day!"

Silver Fox smiled and pressed the release button on his cell, "It's about to get better."

"What are you doing?"

"Helping you help the others."

"So you aren't in bed with these Weapon X losers?"

Silver Fox made a disgusted face. "Unfortunately to gain their trust, the literal meaning of that phrase is true, but figuratively I am a mole. After SHIELD captured me, they hired me to infiltrate Weapon X. They allowed them to break me out of SHIELD and reinitiate me as an agent. I've been feeding SHIELD information ever since."

"Cool, so are we gonna take these losers out?"

"It is only one loser. I will deal with him, your job is to find a path back to the way that you and Wolverine came."

A few moments later, Silver Fox returned to the others.

"How is the prisoner my dear?"

Silver Fox gave a sick smile, "He is currently enjoying Wolverine's Weapon X demo reel."

Wolverine growled but didn't say anything.

"Excellent. Now it is time to mind wipe North, Logan, and Creed. Say goodbye to whatever fond memories that you've had. Silver Fox, the device."

Fox picked up what looked like a helmet off the table. Cornelius took it and walked towards Wolverine. He was about to place it on when Silver Fox kicked him in the jaw.

"For the record you are a terrible kisser." She pulled out two small bottles from her belt. She poured them down Wolverine and Maverick's throats, and the paralysis wore off instantly. She walked over to Sabertooth and unlatched the device around his ankle. Immediately afterwards he jumped up and held her by her throat.

She gasped out, "Are you crazy?!"

Sabertooth looked at Logan and North, "Any objections." The two shook their heads and Sabertooth began to squeeze. Just as her eyes started to close, a burst of ice forced Sabertooth off of her.

Iceman appeared at the end of the hall, "Back off. She's with SHIELD."

Wolverine walked over to him and put his hand on his shoulder, "You ok?"

Iceman shrugged it of and said, "Fine."

Maverick said to the others, "Let's go kids. The bad guy is down and we can head out."

Silver Fox shook her head and said, "No, I have unfinished business to attend to."

"Fox?" Logan asked.

"I will be back Logan."

Wolverine nodded and lead Iceman, Maverick, and Sabertooth out of the building.

Silver Fox went over to the keyboard and stroked a few keys. The computer said, "Self-Destruct Initiated". Silver Fox smiled to herself and walked out of the building.

The explosion was clearly visible form the clearing where the others were. Bobby asked, "You think she was in there?"

"No idea."

Logan said to Iceman, "Might as well head back kid."

Maverick looked around, "Shit! Where's Creed?"

Iceman created an ice pillar beneath him and shot up to above the forest and looked around, after he landed he said, "Sweet, no sight of him."

Logan growled, "Figured that would happen. Come on kid, let's go. Needa ride Mav?"

Maverick shook his head, "No, I'm good, good to see you Logan. Nice to meet you kid."

"You too."

Wolverine and Iceman boarded the plane as the X-Jet shot back to New York. On top of a cliff, Silver Fox looked on and smiled.

Iceman was met with a very warm welcome when he arrived back at the Institute. Kitty and Jean immediately jumped on him, and Kurt clapped him on the back, mostly out of relief that he would not be turned into furniture. Logan walked through the doors of Xavier's office.

"How did it go?"

"I came back knowing just as much as I knew going. The only satisfaction is that that sick bastard who did this to me is dead, and Silver Fox is alive."

"Did Robert enjoy the trip?"

Wolverine sighed, "Nope. He was exposed to some things in my past that I'm not proud of. He didn't talk the whole way home."

"Give it time Logan, he'll get over it."

"Sure Charles." He looked through the Professors window, where all of the kids were watching TV. Bobby was in the middle of the couch with Kitty on his lap. Bobby saw Wolverine looking and immediately averted his eyes.

Logan sighed, "Sure."
