X-Men: Logan's Journey

 

Chapter 1: The Turning Point

 

It began with the x-wing blowing up dust and scattering the leaves everywhere. Logan climbed out as the ramp door lowered. Cyclops ran out waving his hands trying to get Logan's attention. But Logan pushed past him having heard Xavier call him. As he entered into the building he felt something off and immediately started sniffing the air and looking around without looking. As he made his way to the lab he caught movement in his peripheral vision and spun around crouching down unsheathing his claws as the beam shot over his head he dove forward rolling under it and slashing upward severing the robots arm at the joint.

 

Cyclops ran in trying to get Logan's attention yelling that they were under attack. Logan stood up and looked around slowly realizing that everything was off. He turned back to the doorway and saw what he expected. Xavier was standing there staring at him. Logan walked back to him. “What do you want?” “The facilities is under attack and your out doing whatever it is you feel necessary that you need to do?!” Logan spun and walked away. “Look its not my problem any more I am no longer one of you that may be my home but I don't stay there anymore.” Xavier just shrugged his shoulders and turned away.

 

Logan snapped up throwing the sheets off looking around. “I know you can hear me so just stay away whatever it is you can handle it.” He swung his feet over the edge of the bed and stood up heading for the bathroom. As he cut on the switch and the neon light blared into life he could hear the people in the hotel room next door arguing. Shaking his head he turned away from the mirror grabbing a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt off the table. Then he grabbed his bag and headed for the door stopping to leave a tip for the house cleaner. He went to the front desk and paid his fee as a two truckers walked in pushing a young oriental teenager and what looked like her child. Logan turned away when she looked at him. But not before memories resurfaced from a time he couldn't place.

 

As Logan walked past them he felt the woman sending him flashes of her room behind the driver and his partner's seats and how they treated her and her child. Logan slightly shoved the driver as he moved passed apparently ignoring the woman. The driver spun grabbing his shoulder. “Watch where you're going buddy!” “Back off Bub.” Logan stated brushing his hand off his shoulder. The truck driver balled up a fist but by that time Logan was already connecting with his jaw and back swinging his right am to connect with the trucker's partner's gut. As the man doubled over he Logan spun around and back flipped slamming his feet into the partner's chin and driving the trucker's head to the ground as he continued the flip.

 

He reached out grabbing the woman's arm and pulling her through the door. They stopped at a 4x4 jeep and Logan threatened the man getting out for the keys. He opened his mind calling Xavier and telling him to guide the woman to him then he hopped on his Harley and cranked it up as the woman climbed shakingly behind the wheel and pulled out swerving then peeling off to the left. Logan pulled out and turned right. Since the day he had left the school he felt the urge to travel north which had brought him to this mountain. As he made his way along the road he could hear sirens blaring from the hotel. He pulled the bike off the road onto what appeared to be a short trail but as he followed it out looking to turn around he discovered it ended at a clearing that seemed so familiar.

 

He stopped the bike on the edge of it and slowly got off. As he moved into the center of the clearing he began to have sudden flashes of memories. Spinning left and right dodging the blasts of beams while running the course, flash, jumping from one beam to the next gabbing the last and spinning around to flip up and grab the ledge then kicking off the wall to up backwards landing down and spinning around while slicing through the robots torso. Logan stumbled forward stretching out his hands to brace himself from the shock. His foot tripped over something triggering a switch to rise out of the ground he placed his hands on it with out realizing and heard a confirmation. The ground began to slide open under his feet.

 

He jumped backward running back to the Harley. As he stood there watching the ground open up he heard the sirens and they sounded as if they were coming up the trail. He looked around for someplace to go and found nothing but the underground place. He hoped on the Harley and as the doors began to slide back together he drove down in hearing the doors clang shut behind him. The police pulled up just as the dust was settling. Climbing out of their cruisers they looked around and scratched their heads then a rookie shouted out, “Maybe he drove further up the road?!”. They all not wanting to be out done by a rookie shouted, “Yeah.” The captain then shouted to the officers that the road ended in a construction site so he had nowhere to go anyway and that they could take there time.

 

They all pulled out while down beneath them lights that had been set to protocol reaction and automatic seventy years ago where being initiated for the first time in those long and dark seventy years.
