Back in Essex's hideout, the door to an empty office opens and Sage walks into the room, with Omega Red following her in. Sage and Omega Red stop, as they see a shadowy figure standing at the back wall of the room, his arms folded over his chest.

VOICE: "I see you've returned. Welcome back, Omega Red."

OMEGA RED: "I see you've been busy while I was away, my lord."

VOICE: "Yes, I have. Essex is getting the last of the equipment now. Soon, the machines will finally be rebuilt."

SAGE: "Have you selected the remaining three mutants for your group?"

VOICE: "I have. I will have my selections here soon in due time, my dear."

The shadowy figure steps forward into the light, showing the VOICE belongs to APOCALYPSE - looking late-40s, as muscular as a bodybuilder and with pale gray skin. Apocalypse has red eyes and is wearing a black armored suit.

APOCALYPSE: "It has taken me years to finally prepare for this moment. I must make sure everything is be ready once I make my move."

Back in Alkali Lake, in the hall of the top floor, doctors and nurses continue work as usual. Down the hall, the doors to Scott's former patient room have police caution tape taped over the open doorway. The elevator doors open and Logan walks out into the main hall, with Alex and Lorna, who is now wearing her wig again. The three walk down the hall and towards a DOCTOR.

LORNA: "Excuse me?"

DOCTOR: "Can I help you?"

ALEX: "Yes, we're here to visit the room where the attack took place."

DOCTOR: "I'm sorry, but you can't go in there. It's been restricted for the authorities only."

Lorna takes her badge out of her jeans pocket and holds it up to the Doctor.

LORNA: "Sir, we are the authorities. We're here to do a quick check in the room and then we'll be gone."

The Doctor looks at them a moment and then points down the hall.

DOCTOR: "Down the hallway, the last room on the left side."

Alex and Lorna duck under the caution tape as they walk into the patient room. The room has fresh stains of blood on the side walls. The two look around, as Logan walks down the hall to the room. Logan stops walking and pauses, stunned. Logan sniffs the air.

ALEX: "What is it?"

Logan ducks under the caution tape and enters the room. Logan sniffs the air and walks to the bed. Logan sniffs the vacant bed and looks up at the ceiling, noticing the boarded up hole in the roof.

ALEX: "Is it Scott?"

Logan pauses and then he turns to Alex.

LOGAN: "Hank was right, kid. Your brother is alive."

Back in the X-Mansion, Logan, Lorna and Alex sit on chairs before Xavier's desk.

LOGAN: "I picked up two scents I never smelled before with Scott's at the hospital, one male and one female. The scents were faint, but I followed them down the hall to the other elevator. The trail led outside to a van and down to an exit road. That's where the scents went cold."

ALEX: "Now that we know my brother's alive, how do we find him? Who would want to abduct him?"

XAVIER: "I don't know, Alex. But I promise you we will do everything we can to find your brother."

CAROL (O. C.): "Excuse me? Are you Professor Xavier?"

Xavier looks up, as Carol stands in the doorway. Lorna, Alex and Logan also turn around to face her.

CAROL: "I was told you arrived at the school from the..."

Carol stops as she looks at Logan. Carol stares at Logan, stunned, and he looks at her in confusion.

CAROL: "Logan?"

LOGAN: "Yeah. Who're you?"

CAROL: "Don't you recognize me?"

Logan looks at Carol a moment and then he rises from his seat, looking at Carol in confusion.

LOGAN: "Carol?"

XAVIER: "You know each other?"

Carol walks into the room and stands before Logan. She looks at Logan in confusion.

CAROL: "After all these years, we didn't know where you had..." (beat) "You really don't remember me, do you?"

Logan pauses for a moment, trying to figure it out. After a few seconds, Logan finally shakes his head at her.

LOGAN: "I'm not sure. I know you, but..." (beat) "I don't know how."

CAROL: "I can explain if you'll let me. Do you have the time?"

Logan turns to Xavier.

XAVIER: "It's all right, Logan. Go on." (beat) "We'll have our own talk later if you'd like, Miss Danvers. Welcome to the school."

Carol smiles and nods at Xavier.

Meanwhile, later that night in Essex's hideout, Apocalypse stands in the large construction room and he folds his arms over his chest. A large machine, with a large power battery fastened to the back of it, stands before the back wall. Various tubes hooked up to the machine hang over a propped-up table a few feet before it. The windows of the room are shut and covered over by boards. Apocalypse turns around, as the doors open. Essex walks into the room, holding a briefcase in his hand, and he stands before Apocalypse.

APOCALYPSE: "Do you have all of the remaining parts?"

Essex shakes his head and sets down the briefcase.

ESSEX: "Almost. I am waiting for the last three parts to be constructed."

APOCALYPSE: "When will they be ready?"

ESSEX: "In about two weeks. However, I have heard from our contact at the Xavier School."

APOCALYPSE: "And how is our little informant doing?"

ESSEX: "I'm supposed to go down there tonight and talk to our little minion. It seems something big has happened at the school."

Apocalypse looks at Essex and grins.

APOCALYPSE: "Interesting."

In the X-Mansion, Logan sits next to Carol on his bed in his bedroom, looking at her in confusion.

LOGAN: "I was in the C.I.A.?"

CAROL: "You were with our group for a good ten years before I even arrived. When I joined, you were in charge of our division, going on missions too dangerous for humans to handle."

Logan raises his eyebrow, puzzled.

LOGAN: "Wait a second. I led a government team of mutant agents?"

CAROL: "We stopped a lot of illegal projects over the years, Logan. We were on several missions over the last two years, stopping threats all over the world. China, Canada, Russia..."

Logan pauses, tensing after he hears Russia.

LOGAN: "The security compound."

Carol pauses and looks at Logan.

CAROL: "You do remember."

LOGAN: "No." (beat) "Sort of. It's hard to explain. I keep getting weird flashes in my head of something... nothing..." (beat) "I saw a man in one. Some weird albino guy with tentacles sticking out of his wrists."

Carol nods at Logan.

CAROL: "Omega Red."

Logan looks at her in confusion.

LOGAN: "What is he?"

CAROL: "His name is Arkady Rossovich. He's a mutant with metal coils that emanate from his forearms. He uses them to drain off the life force of others when he ensnares them. Its effects afterwards leave his victims weakened, sick and, if held too long, he kills them. The metal around his coils is an alloy called carbonadium, a substitute to adamantium that's virtually indestructible. He also has a healing factor that allows him to heal from fatal wounds in seconds like you."

LOGAN: "I don't remember any of that. How did we meet him?"

CAROL: "A double agent of ours infiltrated the compound and found out about Omega Red. We were there to save the agent when Omega Red discovered him at the compound. You took him on alone and barely stopped him."

LOGAN: "How?"

CAROL: "Omega Red is only vulnerable to telepathy and extreme cold. You knocked him into a vat of nitro glycerin and froze him alive. We left him in a cryogenic chamber in a Russian government security compound. Stopping him was our last mission in Russia."

LOGAN: "What happened after that?"

CAROL: "Last I heard, you were assigned to join with Colonel William Stryker at his base in Alkali Lake. We lost track of you after the incident involving your adamantium surgery." (beat) "It's good to see you again, Logan."

Logan looks away and shakes his head.

LOGAN: "I really wish I could say the same."
