Welp.
That was about, like, 5 months.

I AM SO SORRY.

BUT HERE IT IS.
The next chapter won't take as long to make, I am sure of that.

Also, credit to okay-christa for helping me out with some of this chapter. Forgot to say this last time which is why you can all see that review where she says she'll sue me XD
ANYWAY.

Enjoy!

One of the worst things about the aftermath of an urban disaster area is the smell. Punctured pipes, caved in pavement letting out the reek of the sewers – Logan had a whiff of it all. Exhaust also coiled around his nostrils because he was keeping up his tradition of nicking Scott's motorbike. In his defense, it was the ideal vehicle for places like this with all the rubble and wide vehicles taking up the road. Times Square this time... Well, goddamn, Logan thought.

He had left the X-Men once again. Gone solo to complete the mission himself. But really– what was the surprise in him going solo again? It was for the good of the X-Men, in his eyes anyway. As if Apocalypse weren't enough, now Magneto's involved with this 'Spider-Chase' too. Hell, even the government may have some doubts now. That, and Kitty was taking too long with her side of it. Once he heard about this Magneto event on the news, he had to go. Unwarned or not. He chose unwarned, to prevent interruptions.

The MRD are all over, picking up the degree, along with War Machine. What's weird is that no other Avenger was there , as if the others were badly injured.
Despite War Machine being an ally of his, Logan considered that it may be a good idea to hide from him and his MRD squad, eavesdropping on them from the crowd. He was eavesdropping because he wanted to know what happened, and how. He can see the knocked down TVs, the rubble from previously crowded restaurants and shops, the injured civilians, and it was obvious this was the work of someone like Magneto. But he wants to know how much the Avengers or Spider-Man were involved.

Logan was just searching through the area, sniffing to at least find a scent of Spider-Man while he listened to what War Machine and the soldiers had to say to eachother.
He saw a giant truck park next to War Machine, 'MRD' printed in giant yellow labels across the of the back door came out a few armed soldiers. All of them pretty much had the same attire, except for one. His armor was slightly bulkier, his yellow shades accompanied by a facemask. Two rifles were strapped to his back, and yet he carried them like they were nothing.

Logan got himself closer, blending in with the crowd as he would try to hear them.
"Captain."
The suspicious looking soldier saluted War Machine, "Colonel Rhodes." He'd say, in what Logan could recognize as the voice of a hardened Veteran. He's been an authority for a while, obviously.
"Mission report?" The Colonel would ask
The MRD Captain would hold his hand out, signaling the soldier on his left side to hand him a tablet device.
He'd show it to Rhodey, and Logan would try to put his attention on what was on the tablet.
He could barely make it out, of course.
"We searched all over, no sign of Magneto. All we have left is this footage of Magneto being swiped up by this blue streak, caught by the helmet cameras."
Blue streak? Magneto?
Yup, Logan definitely had an idea of who it could be.
"Sources point out that it can very well be the Mutant known as Pietro Maximoff, AKA Quicksilver, due to his increased speed and his relations to Magneto."
Just as Logan thought. So not only is Magneto back, so is his Brotherhood, at least it seemed so.
For him, and many others, this was bad news.
Why'd they come to this location though?
Where are they?
Are they in Genosha? If so, that means they're in cahoots with Wanda. That's bad news.

"Knowing this, we searched the surrounding area for any trace of said mutant...none found."
War Machine simply nodded, "Understood."
"What happened to...Spider-Man..." The way the Captain asked that question, the moment he said 'Spider-Man'. his voice boomed that this soldier had some sort of grudge against the masked hero.
"One, I don't know where he is. Two, he's an ally, so it shouldn't be your business to know where he is, not with a tone like that."
"Ally? How is he an-"
"If the Avengers think he's good enough for their ranks, you should leave it at that. You've been reading to much of Jameson's editorials.
Is that understood?"
The Captain saluted, a tone of anger in his voice. "Yes, sir. Permission to leave?"
"Not yet." Rhodes would then look at the crowd, making Logan try to blend in more with the crowd. He couldn't risk getting noticed.
He then said another order to his soldiers
"A final Mutant check won't hurt."
"Yes sir." The MRD Captain turned to the soldiers "Fire up the trackers!"

Logan bolted out of the crowd immediately, he couldn't risk getting noticed for one moment. The people he was pushing were all yelling at him, mostly consisting of incoherent cursing. Logan, naturally, did not care. As he was walking, he also noticed the news station, it may very well tell him about what went on. But he couldn't risk it, he had to go. Besides, he got the details about Magneto he needed.

Logan turned to see the soldiers scanning the entire area, drones flying above to check further parts of it. This made him go faster, regardless of where he'd end up in
He went so fast, that he didn't even notice that he was causing a commotion, dragging the attention of the soldiers to his side of the crowd.
"You, what's the big deal here?"
Logan had his back turned, but he could tell it was the War Machine's voice.
Logan raised his hands up in the air, and started walking backwards to the yellow crime scene tape as the crowd spread out to make way for him. They didn't want to deal with the armed men packed with weapons.
Logan turned around, fully revealing himself.
War Machine raised his arm and made a signal, all soldiers dropping their weapons. Even that grumpy Captain.
"Keep calm, he's with us."

Logan crossed his arms
"Rhodes."

"Logan. It's been a while."

They haven't seen each other since the whole deal with Galactus, and that was years ago.

"What brings you here around this time?"

"Same as everyone else, to see what the hell happened here." Logan said, looking at the carnage around him.

A news helicopter was overhead. The cameraman and reporter in it have been having a good time, realizing both Wolverine and War Machine were in the middle of the shot.

"Speaking of, what did happen?"

"Right over your shoulder," War Machine said.

Logan turned around and spotted a giant TV screen flickering on and off amongst the large signs of the square. A few images popped up, no audio with it, showing Spider-Man swooping between two streetlights, and then Magneto in the next blurry shot. The TV also flickered on last time to show Spider-Man tackling Magneto, but in a different form. He was accompanied by multiple arms, and thorns coming out of his hands

'Oh hell' Logan thought, knowing exactly what that meant.

Logan's hankering for a cigar right now.

"Not too many casualties, luckily. Just a lot of broken bones." War Machine remarked.

"Where's the Spider-Kid?"

"I don't know."

"Can you call someone who would?"

"Everything's a mess right now. We're scattered."

Logan was sure that all Rhodey was doing was covering things up, for whatever reason. He'd have to figure things out himself.

Logan cursed under his breath. Time was always precious in this mission, but now every hour was worth a diamond ring, now that Magneto's made his entrance. Logan's hands tightened around the handles of Scott's bike, realizing this. Spider-Man – where could the kid be? Logan needed to know now, couldn't wait around for teenagers uploading their videos of the attack onto the Internet. He told Forge to take care of that, but he probably can't do that for long. The quickest way to track Spidey down was by using his nose, of course.

There was something distinct about the Spider-Hero's scent compared to everyone else's, Logan's noticed. It was strange, because while his nose was good, he usually picked up on perfumes or shampooed hair. For people, he'd have to find an object related to them to smell first. He figured that for Spider-Man, it was different because of whatever condition was mutating him. And from what he could tell, he did mutate here.

So Logan rode off in his bike, using his senses to see wherever this scent could take him to.
