First story: Secrets and Lives   -  Second Story: Hunter's Pryde
First story:
Today:'It was only a matter of time. We knew someone would come for you eventually. Turned out it was the Reavers. Don't know how they found the cabin – not many people knew about it. But they did' Kitty Pryde remarks.
Earlier:Alberta, Canada, where a black ship shaped like a scorpion descends over a fog-covered, snowy terrain. Inside the ship are Donald Pierce, Cylla Markham, Bonebreaker and Pretty Boy – four of the most sadistic and savage Reavers. 'This better work, Pierce. This face - can't stand it. Gotta fix my damn face' Pretty Boy exclaims. Pierce looks out a window of the scorpion ship and tells Pretty Boy that they all have problems. 'It'll work. It has to' he adds.
Cylla turns to a strange face which is connected to the ship itself, and calling it Star, asks if it is getting any scans – if there is anyone down there waiting for them. 'Let me ask Shine' Star replies, and a holographic image of a woman appears, 'You see anything, love?' Star asks. Shine replies that there is nothing, just jackrabbits, mice, maybe a fox – everything else down there is dead. Pierce points out that doesn't mean this place has been left unprotected, and tells his team that he wants this done quick. 'Once we have boots on the ground, take off and go into active camo. Stay close in case we need a fast extraction' Pierce instructs Star. 'Roger that' Star replies.
Shortly: 'His teammates just left him out here?' Bonebreaker asks as he and the other Reavers trudge through the cold snow, towards a small cabin up ahead. Bonebreaker adds that he isn't shedding any tears, but he thinks that seems a little cold. 'They're mutants, Bonebreaker. They don't make decisions like we do. They aren't human' Cylla snarls. The Reavers arrive at the small cabin and, inside, find the adamantium-cased body of Wovlerine. 'Look at that. Bad way to go' Cylla remarks. Pretty Boy mutters that he can think of worse, and that at least Wolverine looks beautiful. 'All the trouble this bastard gave us over the years, and look at him now' Bonebreaker tells the others, before reaching out to Wolverine's claws. 'Whatcha gonna do now, Wolverine. Nothing. Nothing but sit in there and rot, you damn – agh!' Bonebreaker cries out as he pricks his finger against the tip of the claw, drawing blood. Bonebreaker sucks his bleeding finger, as Pierce tells him 'Enough. We aren't here to pay our respects. We are here to get paid'.
Bonebreaker asks the others how much they figure this is worth, as it has to be a ton. 'Do we have to sell all of it? I wouldn't mind some adamantium in my chassis' Pretty Boy remarks. Cylla points out that the metal is nothing compared to what's in it – Wolverine's corpse. They will make more from that than any job they have ever pulled. 'Not if we don't get it out of here' Pierce mutters. He frowns as he reminds the other Reavers that they screwed up their last three gigs, which means they took damage they can't afford to fix, because their clients wouldn't pay. Pierce adds that they are burned out, and tells the others that if they want replacement parts, and upgrades, this is their last best shot. 'So shut up and lift the damn thing' he declares. Pretty Boy mumbles that this might go faster if Pierce helped, as he Cylla and Bonebreaker each start to lift the adamantium casing. 'Okay, on three. One...two...' Pretty Boy begins, but the trio struggle with the incredible weight. 'Damn...Logan, never making things easy' Cylla mutters. 'That's good, though. It's worth its weight in...' Pretty Boy begins, before pausing, and asking the others if they just heard anything.
Cylla declares that her audio augments still work all right, the left one, anyway. 'Sounded like...' she begins. “Bamf” Bonebreaker suggests, to which Pretty Boy remarks that this is not good. Pierce radios Starshine for a report, and Star responds by telling him that he has company. 'Bad?' Pierce asks. 'Bad' Star confirms. Pierce tells the Reavers to drop it, and they let the adamantium-cased Wolverine klang back onto the podium where it had been placed. 'New plan' Pierce announces.
Today:Kitty recalls that she was excited – the X-Men were excited – they were out in the wilderness, and no civilians were around to get hurt. After all, they always spend so much time thinking about how to minimize collateral damage in these fights – but this time, there was literally no one for miles, and they knew it – all they had to worry about was kicking some bad-guy ass. So yeah, excited. It was an A-list team of X-Men, defending their fallen friend's tomb from low-down cyborg grave-robbers – it does not get much better than that. But it was better than that – because they knew something the Reavers didn't – they had a secret.
Earlier:'Reavers, eh, Colossus?' Nightcrawler asks as he, Colossus, Kitty Pryde, Storm and Firestar arrive. Colossus explains that that is how it looked on the alarm system. He adds that Forge built it, so all images were crystal clear. 'Even if they weren't, there is no mistaking Bonebreaker' Colossus points out. Kitty adds that they looked bad, though – even for a bunch of Cyborgs – banged up. Storm frowns and suggests to Kitty that might be why they are attempting something so foolish – they are desperate. She adds that desperate means dangerous, and suggests they take advantage of the fact that the Reavers don't know they are here yet.
Storm spoke too soon, though, as the scorpion ship opens fire on them. 'Incoming! Move!' Kitty calls out as missiles blast towards the X-Men. Storm blasts a missile with lightning, while Firestar destroys one with a surge of microwave energy. Kitty phases one of the missiles through her own body, as Nightcrawler teleports out of harm's way.
Today:'We put the word out after you died, quietly, in case people wanted to pay their respects. Reed Richards asked to come. That surprised me a little. I didn't realize you and Mr Fantastic were close' Kitty remarks, adding that she figured out the reason pretty quickly, though – he had a secret, too – guilt.
Flashback – just after the death of Wolverine:'Oh, Logan... I am so sorry' Reed Richards remarks, standing before the adamantium encased Wolverine's body. Reed turns and looks at the X-Men who are also in the cabin – Storm, Cyclops, Beast and Colossus – and informs them that Wolverine came to him, not long before his death – he wanted to know if he was able to help him reactivate his healing factor. Reed assures the X-Men that he did everything he could, but there was nothing. Reed assures the Beast that he did try. 'We know, Reed. I did as well' Beast replies. Reed informs the X-Men that he advised Logan to wait, to give him time to investigate further. Reed recalls telling Logan not to fight, and wishes he had been more emphatic about the dangers. Cyclops folds his arms and tells Reed that it is not his fault, as Logan was many things, but a good listener he was not. Storm tells Cyclops to go easy, pointing out that they are in the man's tomb.
Today:'That's where it all started. With Cyclops, Colossus, Storm and Beast. Four X-Men who knew you as well as anyone could'. Kitty adds that they stayed for a bit after Reed left, just looking, thinking, remembering – down in Wolverine's tomb.
Flashback – just after the death of Wolverine:'He died hating me. Maybe I hated him, too' Cyclops remarks, looking at Wolverine's adamantium tomb, and admitting that he wished he said something, tried to fix it while they had time. Colossus goes over to Cyclops and reminds him that in their line of work, there is danger in waiting on the important things. He adds that they can all die, any day, with no warning. 'Maybe next time me. Maybe next time you' Colossus remarks.
Storm frowns, before motioning to Wolverine's remains and asking if this seems right. Beast asks her what she means. Storm points out that Logan died in there, burned alive, they think, a horrible end, and now, he is here, encased in the metal that cursed his life, set to be gawked at by anyone they deem worthy. 'Does this feel right for Logan?' Storm asks.
'We put him on a pedestal. We literally put him on a pedestal' Cyclops points out, referring to the podium that Wolverine sits on. Beast tells Storm that he sees her point, but asks what she suggests, as this is adamantium, almost impossible to work under the best of circumstances. Beast adds that he doesn't mean to be indelicate, as he explains that the adamantium is fused to Logan – his flesh and the metal are one. 'We could bury the statue, perhaps, but...' the Beast suggests, but Colossus tells him no – and announces that he has another idea.
Earlier:Storm, Kitty, Nightcrawler, Colossus and Firestar surround the small cabin, where the Reavers remain inside. 'Okay, Pierce... we got their attention. Now what?' Bonebreaker asks. Pierce is in another room, still with the remains of Wolverine, and radios back to Bonebreaker, telling him and Pretty Boy to keep the X-Men focussed on them, adding that if they canget a DNA sample out of the statue, they can still salvage this. 'Yeah, well, these are some heavy hitters. Storm's here. Colossus. Firestar, too, with those damn microwaves she can throw out. How long?' Pretty Boy calls back. 'How long, Cylla?' Cylla stands before the remains of Wolverine, a green energy appearing on the front of her armory, Cylla tells Pierce that she is trying. 'They call it adamantium for a reason. My molecular rearranger will get through, but it'll be a bit' Cylla explains. 'Long as it takes' Pierce radios back to Bonebreaker, who frowns. 'Okay, then' Pretty Boy mutters, before he and Bonebreaker emerge from the cabin.
Today:Kitty remembers how Bonebreaker and Pretty Boy kicked things off, coming out of that cabin like they had nothing to lose – perhaps they didn't. Kitty recalls how they looked like old cars no one had kept up – cracked windshield, missing a side mirror, rusted out – desperate men with guns – a lot of guns. But, the problem with Reavers is that they are always changing things, adding new weapons, taking old ones away – you never know what they will throw at you. Kitty decides that, at first, all you can do is react, you have to get the lay of the land before you can fight back. But the Reavers knew how to fight the X-Men, though. However, whatever little surprises the Reavers cook up, they are still cyborgs – and cyborgs meant electronics – so if you can get close, and that is not always easy, a little phasing, and then boom – they are scrap.
Earlier:Storm fires a blast of lightning at Pretty Boy, who grins: 'Mmm, nice' he remarks as he suddenly re-directs Storm's energy, straight at Colossus, knocking him out. 'Peter!' Kitty calls out, before she reaches out to Nightcrawler, 'Do it!' she tells him. Nightcrawler responds by teleporting himself and Kitty up into the air, above Pretty Boy, then Kitty drops down – straight onto, and then through, Pretty Boy, taking him out. 'Uh-huh' Kitty declares, while Bonebreaker opens fire, and radios Pierce, informing him that Pretty Boy is down. 'This is gonna turn bad in a second. You need to -' Bonebreaker begins, before a huge boulder is hurled straight at him, sending him careening backwards. 'No, Bonebreaker. For you... it is already bad' Colossus calls out.
Back inside, Green energy flares around the room thanks to Cylla's molecular rearranger. 'How much longer?' Pierce calls out, to which Cylla tells him that she almost has it. Pierce contacts Starshine and instructs the vessel to de-cloak and attack. 'You sure, boss? We're your ride out. If they know we're here, they might' Star replies over the intercom, but this causes Pierce to shout 'JUST DO IT!'
Today:Kitty admits that when the scorpion helicopter showed it, that wasn't super fun – whatever the hell it was, it was tough. She thinks that is probably when the Reavers had their best chance, as the X-Men were distracted, fighting hard, and Pierce and Cylla were breaking into the statue – they could have gotten in, grabbed a chunk of Logan and fought their way clear – but that was the secret.
Earlier:'I got blades... blades for all of you. Who's first!' Star calls out to the X-Men as the vessel descends among them. At the same time, inside, Cylla tells Pierce that she almost has it. The X-Men dodge the weapons fire that Star blasts at them, when, suddenly, back inside the cabin, there is an explosion.
Today:'They never really had a chance at all' Kitty remarks.
Earlier:Cylla's device has split Wolverine's adamantium casing open – but the only thing inside is dust that spills out into the cabin. 'Oh, no' Pierce utters. 'It's empty, Pierce. They played us. They played us' Cylla exclaims, when suddenly, she and Pierce collapse to the ground, as Kitty phases a hand through their bodies. Cylla and Pierce twinge on the ground, as Pierce scowls and asks 'But... then... where the hell is Wolverine?'
Flashback – just after the death of Wolverine:Kitty stands before Wolverine's adamantium-encased body. 'Nngggggh' she calls out. Colossus, Storm, Cyclops and Beast stand nearby, as Colossus asks Kitty if she is sure. 'I can do it, Peter. It's just... adamantium in him, and all around him. Getting him out without tearing him apart... not easy' Kitty replies. She concentrates hard and remarks that this is the hardest phase she has done since the bullet and adds that she is trying to differentiate the metal in from the metal out, when suddenly, an arm appears – and then Logan's naked body is pulled from the adamantium.
Storm wraps a blanket around Wolverine's body, and Colossus carries him from the cabin. Storm looks over at a silent Cyclops as they leave the cabin.
Later, in the wilderness, Jubilee kneels at some earth that has been freshly dug out – then packed back in. 'Bye, Bub. Love you' Jubilee utters, tears streaming down her face. Behind her stand Colossus and Kitty, Rogue, Cyclops, Beast, Firestar and Storm, while Doop hovers alongside them. 'There's no chance, right?' Cyclops asks Beast, who assures him that he tested the body thoroughly before the interment – Logan is dead, by every method he can use to measure.
Firestar and Storm approach the unmarked grave, and Firestar asks what they will do with the statue. Storm tells her that they will leave it where it is, as it can serve as a memorial for those who need it.
Doop presses a hand against the grave and utters something in his native Doopspeak. Beast watches as Colossus and Kitty take their turn at the grave. 'Better' Kitty utters. 'Yes. Better' Colossus smiles, holding Kitty.
Today:Kitty reveals that they called in Alpha Flight to help put the Reavers somewhere safe, after all, they were in Canada, which is their territory, and even though a bunch of the team was off-planet, Guardian, Shaman and Snowbird showed up. Kitty adds that it was nice to see them – like a family reunion.
Earlier:Nightcrawler and Shaman stand watch over the Reavers who have been tied up, while Storm approaches Guardian and thanks him for taking the Reavers. Guardian thanks Storm and her team for capturing them, and assures her that they will hand them over to the appropriate authorities. He wonders if some sort of rehabilitation is possible, to which Storm agrees, remarking that even after everything they have done, and done to themselves, they are still people. Nightcrawler teleports onto the X-Men's jet, as Firestar informs Snowbird that there was another Reaver, a strange, big one that looked like a helicopter, but that it managed to escape. Snowbird thanks Firestar and tells her that Alpha Flight will keep an eye out.
Inside the cabin, Kitty stands with Colossus and looks at the split open adamantium casing, asking if they are really going to leave it here. Colossus tells her they should, and points out that it is still a memorial to Wolverine. 'It's just done what all mutants do' Colossus points out. Kitty asks him what he means, and he points at the statue, remarking that it has evolved. Kitty laughs and suggests that they get out of here. 'I can't wait to tell Logan about this' she smiles.
Today:'That's how it happened' Kitty remarks as she sits in the wilderness, grass has grown over the site where Logan's body was laid to rest. 'I just wish you'd been there to see it' Kitty adds, bottle of Canadian beer in her hand. She adds 'The look on Pierce's face when he realized you weren't in that statue – it was the saddest, most hilarious thing I've ever seen in my life'. Kitty tells Logan that it was as if that was the moment, right then and there in that shack when Pierce figured out that turning himself into a stupid robot thing so he could dedicate his life to killing mutants – maybe that wasn't such a great idea after all.
Kitty tells Logan that she just wishes he has been there to see it. 'Here's to you, Logan. And to the bad guys. May they ever be idiots'. Kitty drinks the beer, before she stands up and pours the beer over Wolverine's grave. 'Cheers, Logan. I need to get home, but I'll come back as soon as I can.
'Still have to run that school you gave me. Some of these kids are just -' Kitty begins, when something catches her attention. She turns towards the trees that surround the clearing, and notices something flapping against the tree – the blanket that was wrapped around Wolverine's body! Kitty looks back down at the grave, 'Oh, Kitty...' she utters, before dropping to the ground and phasing her hand through the dirt and into the grave – where she goes wide-eyed. '... you #$%&$% idiot' Kitty gasps.
Elsewhere, Wolverine is wearing a skin-tight black one-piece, and in some stark, non-descript warehouse, he shoves an overweight man in a suit up against the wall. 'Enough. That's enough' a voice calls out, as someone puts a hand on Logan's shoulder. Logan withdraws his claws from the overweight man's body, causing him to slump to the ground, leaving a trail of blood down the wall.
Back at Wolverine's grave, Kitty has been joined by Storm, Beast, Colossus and Nightcrawler. 'He is... not there' Colossus remarks as they stare down into the now dug-out grave. 'I told you. I knew he was gone... but we needed to be sure' Kitty tells the others. Nightcrawler suggests they move past what they know and focus on what they do not – for example, how long has Wolverine been gone – was he just taken – or did he rise again?
Elsewhere, Wolverine sits in the shadows of the non-descript warehouse. He clenches his fists then suddenly, pops his claws, drawing blood around his knuckles, before sheathing his claws back into his body.
The Beast tells Kitty, Storm, Colossus and Nightcrawler that Logan was dead – he would stake his reputation on it, so he thinks someone did take him – as the body is as valuable an artefact as anything in this world. 'Cloning, research into his healing factor, anything. Even just as a relic for collectors. But if that is the case, the question is this – how did the thieves know where to look? Only a handful of X-Men knew Logan's actual burial site...and most of them are standing right here' Beast tells the others. Storm, Kitty and Colossus all fold their arms across their chests, to which Kitty declares that it has got out – secrets hate being secrets. She vows that they will find out how – find out all of it, but that there is something more important – the question they have to answer, before they answer anything else – 'Where is Wolverine?'
And at that moment, Logan once again pops his now blood-covered claws with a loud SNIKT.
Second story:Level Four of Stark Labs, where Tony Stark is in a laboratory, working on one of his Iron Man armors. His computer system informs him that a security breach has been detected on level one. Stark asks if the automated systems are handling it, to which the computer tells him that perimeter defenses are active. 'Good' Stark replies, adding that he is trying to get some work done. 'Just... keep me posted' he tells the computer, who soon informs him that perimeter defences have been deactivated, and the intruder is now on level two. The computer states that secondary security systems have been activated. Stark doesn't respond, as he continues tinkering with his armor. But, as the computer announces that a nanobot wave was ineffective, and the intruder is on level three, he becomes more intrigued – especially when hard light drones are deployed, but become nonresponsive.
Annoyed, Stark announces that he is going to suit up, as the computer announces that the intruder is on level four. Indeed, before Stark can suit up, Kitty Pryde phases into his lab. 'Yeah, I noticed' Stark mutters, before greeting Kitty as “Ms Pryde” and asks her if she has any idea how much money she just cost him, fritzing out his security like that. 'I'm sure you'll have it fixed in no time' Kitty replies. 'Now that you mention it...' Tony smiles, before the computer reports that all security systems are repaired. 'Would you like me to eradicate the intruder?' the computer enquires. As Kitty takes a seat, Stark tells the computer that he is sure the intruder wouldn't have gone to so much trouble unless something extremely important was happening – especially when she could have just called him. Kitty tells Stark that she didn't want to take the time to get past his gatekeepers – and didn't want to take any chances on someone listening in.
'Don't tease me, Kitty. What is it?' Tony asks. 'Wolverine. He's gone' Kitty reveals. Stark asks Kitty to elaborate, to which Kitty informs him that Logan's body is missing from his grave, adding that they discovered it during a Reaver attack. 'Hm. Not ideal' Stark remarks, pointing out that even just Logan's body is incredibly potent raw material – meaning a halfway competent geneticist could do some real damage. Stark adds that mutant-land is full of genetic mad scientists. 'Who's that one guy... red eyes, ruby in the forehead...has that weird metal ribbon cape?' Stark enquires. 'Mr Sinister. Yeah, he's one of many' Kitty replies, adding that they are aware of the downsides here – and that is assuming Logan is still dead – because of he's alive and hasn't gotten in touch, it could be even worse.
Stark tells kitty that he is a little surprised she is here, pointing out that the X-Men usually keep their business to themselves – until it explodes and then the Avengers have to clean things up. 'Have things exploded, Kitty?' Stark asks. Kitty tells him that they haven't yet, but points out that Logan wasn't just an X-Man – he was an Avenger, a SHIELD operative and so much else – he touched every corner of their world – so they all need to be a part of trying to find him. Stark tells Kitty that he thinks she is right, and adds that he is glad she came to him first. 'Actually, Tony...you were second' Kitty admits.
Earlier, in New York City, Daredevil rests on a rooftop, focussed over the city, as Kitty floats, intangible, behind him. Daredevil tells kitty that she really only has three options here – either someone took Logan's body, or he was never in that statue in the first place – or he got up and walked away. Kitty tells Daredevil that they pretty much figured that out themselves, and explains she was hoping he might be able to help her figure out which one it was, explaining that with Madrox gone, the X-Men's investigative roster is a little light. Daredevil tosses his rope across to another rooftop and informs Kitty that he is in. 'Logan needs to be found, one way or the other. But even more than that... man, I love a good mystery!' Daredevil exclaims as he swings off the rooftop and into the night.
'Daredevil? Before me?' Stark exclaims, adding that he thinks he is offended. 'Is he even qualified for something like this?' Stark mutters. Kitty tells him to take it easy, and admits that Daredevil is an outside-the-box choice, but has a history with Logan. Kitty asks Stark if he has ever fought alongside Daredevil, and explains that he just seems to know things. 'He'll bring a fresh perspective to all of this' Kitty suggests. Tony tells Kitty that, for his ego's sake, he is going to assume she bumped into him while she was desperately racing here to recruit him.
'So me, Daredevil, some X-Men – anyone else know? The Reavers must, right?' Stark asks. He tinkers with part of his armor as he tells Kitty that he can't imagine those adorable monster-borgs are too great at keeping secrets, especially information as potentially valuable as this. Kitty reports that they took almost all of them into custody, and now Alpha Flight has them in lockdown. 'Almost, huh? Hate to say it, Pryde... but you might have a problem there' Tony points out.
Meanwhile, in Japan, Lady Deathstrike has taken out several tattoed men, while using a communications device to speak with Starshine, the scorpion vessel. 'That is just a fascinating story' she remarks. 'I know, Deathstrike. The damn statue was empty. No Wolverine at all' Starshine explains, before informing Deathstrike that the mutants have Pierce and the others. 'You're a Reaver too, just like  us. Will you help us mount a rescue?' Starshine asks. Deathstrike frowns and replies 'I don't think so' before pulling her claws from one of the men and announcing that she is going after Logan.
Kitty tells Tony that she knows they won't be able to keep this a secret for long, so they need to move fast. Tony agrees, and tells Kitty that if it is all right with her, he wants to put together a little team to help with this, explaining that it might be nice to get some other perspectives. Kitty assures Stark that she trusts his judgment, and asks him who he is thinking of. 'Oh, you know...thought I'd get the band back together' Stark replies as he brings up images of Spider-Man, Luke Cage and Jessica Jones on a screen. Kitty tells Stark that she likes it and asks him to let her know what he finds. As Kitty gets up and starts to walk towards a wall, Tony asks her if she and the mutants will look too, adding that they probably have a better sense of where to search than anyone. 'Yeah, we'll be looking too. Of course. Wolverine was a lot of things, but mostly... he was one of the X-Men' Kitty replies as she phases through the wall.
Later, in Alberta, Canada, outside the cabin where the adamantium casing remains. Kitty Pryde stands with Storm, Psylocke, Rogue, Jubilee and the time-displaced Marvel Girl. 'Madripoor? Why do you want to start there?' Rogue enquires. Kitty reminds Rogue that Madripoor attracts criminals from all over the world, so if one had Logan's body and wanted to sell it, Madripoor would be a good place to start. She adds that Wolverine also spent a lot of time there himself – and Magneto is in Madripoor. The time-displaced Marvel Girl asks Kitty if she doesn't think Magneto took him. 'I know he's had his moments, but he's not really like that anymore' Marvel Girl adds. 'One thing we all know about Magneto, Jean – he is always a little bit like that' Storm declares. Storm suggests that they cannot rule Magneto, considering his long-standing hatred for Logan, Madripoor might be a good place to begin.
Jubilee tells the others that she actually loves Madripoor, it's so seamy, and the clubs are phenomenal. Psylocke tells Jubilee that she isn't sure they will have time for clubbing. 'I don't know, Psylocke. Maybe we'll find Logan. If I died horribly and came back to life, I'd go dancing the very first thing' Jubilee smiles. Marvel Girl asks Kitty when they are going to leave, to which Kitty announces that they will leave n ow, but informs Marvel Girl that, if she doesn't mind, she just wants to take the others, adding that she knows Marvel Girl has her own responsibilities with her own team. Marvel Girl hangs her head and tells Kitty that she guesses so. 'I know all of you knew him for real. You were close. I only met him a few times before he died' she adds. 'My older self... she was the one. Not me' Marvel Girl admits, before telling the others that she thinks they will find Logan, that she thinks he is alive. 'What makes you say that?' Jubilee asks. 'Oh, you know... just a feeling' Marvel Girl replies.
Storm, Kitty, Psylocke, Rogue and Jubilee leave in two Blackbird jets, while Marvel Girl goes into the cabin. 'I am psychic, after all. And if there's one thing I've learned... it's to trust my intuition' Marvel Girl thinks to herself, before standing front of the split adamantium casing and uttering 'Welcome back'.

Untitled
'I loved him. We all did' Betsy Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke thinks to herself, while remembering training against Wolverine long ago – her blade against his claws. She recalls that he was savage and primal, stoic and honor-bound – a hero. A warrior. But also a teacher and a friend. He was Logan – Wolverine. 'We all loved him' Betsy realizes as she sits with five others in a jet, flying halfway around the world in search of Logan's body. Sitting next to Betsy is Kitty Pryde, current leader of the X-Men. Across from Kitty is Ororo Munroe a.k.a. Storm, and next to Storm is Rogue, who gazes out a window. Jubilee sits at the back of the jet, away from the older women, while Neena Thurman a.k.a. Domino pilots the jet. Betsy reminds herself how Kitty brought them together, as she suspects Magneto was the one who excavated Logan's body and is planning to use it.
Betsy knows that Magneto has been slipping back into his villainous ways, keeping secrets, building power and creating division between them from his new home base in Madripoor. Betsy suspects that Magneto could have removed Logan's body from the ground where they hid it without disturbing Forge's high-tech detection system. She remembers Kitty trying to contact Magneto to allay her fears – but there was no answer – so he is now one of their prime suspects, in addition to being one of the most dangerous mutants in the world. Betsy looks over at Rogue, who still gazes out the window. Rogue was close to Magneto in the past, so she knows what is at stake here. Betsy reminds herself that the last time she and Magneto met, she plunged a blade through his chest and was sure she had killed him – but somehow, he survived – so, if he has taken Logan, they can't afford to hesitate.
Domino glances back into the jet and remarks that with all the mopey faces back there, she takes it this isn't a “girls' party weekend”. Domino tells them that she arranged this little flight because they said they needed travel “off the grid” and points out that they least they could do is tell her why. Kitty tells Domino that they don't have time for this. 'So you're saying I shouldn't turn this plane around?' Domino replies. 'You offered to help!' Kitty snaps, moving towards Domino, who scowls and points out that she is, but that since they won't tell her what this is all about, she is tagging along to “supervise”. 'Now get outta my face and let me land this puppy' Domino tells Kitty. Arms folded, Storm reminds Domino that they are allies. 'Do not wish it otherwise' she adds. 'You $#%& X-Men and your $%&*$$ secrets' Domino mutters.
Kitty looks at Betsy, who picks up her psychic instruction – that if things get out of hand, she is to knock Domino out and wipe this trip from her mind. Betsy telepathically reminds Kitty that Domino was Logan's friend as well. 'I'm not comfortable -'  she begins, to which Kitty declares that she doesn't care about her comfort level, and tells her to be prepared. 'Very well' Betsy replies, while deciding that distrust among friends is an auspicious start to the mission. Domino lands the jet, and Rogue is the first out, going wide-eyed as she calls out 'Uh, ladies... we've got a problem. Magneto already knows we're here!'
Indeed, Magneto is waiting on the runway for the X-Men. 'Welcome to Madripoor' he frowns. 'Erik...'Rogue calls out. 'How did you -' Kitty begins as she approaches Magneto, who asks her if she is honestly surprised, boasting that nothing happens in Madripoor without his knowledge. Betsy reaches out with her mind – but detects nothing – his helmet completely protects him from her psychic probes. Magneto tells the women that if they wished to set up a meeting, they should have just asked. 'I sent you messages, but you didn't -' Kitty begins, before sighing, and pointing out that it doesn't matter, as she is asking now – they need to talk about Wolverine. 'And we will – but not here' Magneto replies. He instructs them to meet him at 10 PM at the King's Impresario restaurant. 'You'll like the laksa' he remarks. Storm asks Magneto how they know they can trust him, to which Magneto points out that Psylocke is here, and offers not to bring his helmet to dinner. 'You won't?' Storm asks. Magneto tells her that he has nothing to hide, before he turns and levitates himself into the air, and floats away from the women.
Betsy watches Magneto depart, and thinks to herself that his confidence is eerie. She has bested him when she was by herself, but now she is not alone. She wonders what his game is. Domino looks up at Magneto and tells the other X-Men that in her experience, people who say they have “nothing to hide” have a $#!&load they're keeping under wraps. 'Yup' Jubilee agrees. 'We'll be careful' Storm declares as the women turn and walk off the runway – unaware that “Magneto” suddenly fades away, revealing the woman psionic woman Danielle Forte a.k.a. Mindblast.
'Not careful enough, Ororo...' Mindblast remarks, before sending out a telepathic message: 'My lady, the X-Men have arrived. Six in total' she reports. A response is heard over a communicator: 'Good. After nearly draining out guest dry, Sapphire is still quite hungry... she's insatiable nowadays'.
The X-Men visit the Princess Bar. Betsy knows that this was an important part of the secret life Logan led here in Madripoor. The women look around the bar, and Jubilee stops at a photo on the wall, of Patch and several of his associates – Jessan Hoan, Rose Wu and Mr O'Donnell and others. 'Good times... or at least, they were' Betsy remarks as she looks at the photo, too, and points out that of the seven in that photo there are only two of them left, her and Tyger. 'Crazy when I think about it' Betsy adds.
The man behind the bar tells the women that if they are friends of Patch's, then they are friends of his, and suggests that they knock back a few in his honor. Storm tells him that any other time they would be happy to, but they need to keep their senses sharp. 'Speak for yourself, Ororo. You pour as much as you want, Mister...' Domino declares. 'Halliday... Mr Halliday' the barman responds.
Domino and Mr Halliday raise their glasses as Kitty approaches them and informs Mr Halliday that Patch told them if they were ever in Madripoor and needed somewhere safe, they could come here and say the word “Yashida”. Halliday coughs and sputters, before he remarks 'More than friends, then... got it. Come with me'.
Halliday then leads the women through the bar, where he opens a secret door. He informs them that Patch had a lot of pals here, but that you can't stay in Lowtown without piling up a heap of enemies, too. They descend some stairs as Halliday reports that when Patch paid to have the Princess rebuilt, he requested this little addition. 'If you're family, then this is all yours' he remarks as they arrive in an underground bunker, where books fill a bookcase, photos line the wall, and armor is stored in a display cabinet.
'Oh, wow...' Kitty utters. Betsy reminds herself that Logan was a private man, and that he didn't seem the nostalgic type, so she finds it fascinating to see what he held on to. She looks at Storm and thinks to herself that she doesn't want to pry, but the memories are so vibrant, as Storm touches a book on the bookcase.
in Storm's memory:'Wolverine, may I speak with you?' Storm asks as she finds Wolverine sitting alone. 'Free country, ain't it?' Wolverine scowls. Storm apologizes and asks Wolverine if he was meditating 'I'm full of surprises' Wolverine responds. 'I see that' Storm agrees, before asking him why he still wears his costume – whether he doesn't feel safe at the Xavier School. 'Between Baldy the Mind Reader, the Irish Screamer, Laser Eyes, Metal Head, the Blue Demon and you... no' Logan replies. 'It's a freak show, sister' he smiles. Storm suggests to Wolverine that his room should not be so barren, and hands him a small statue of a panther's head. 'Eh?' Wolverine utters, surprised. Storm explains that she brings a peace offering, in hopes they may be better allies in days to come. Storm adds that, like Wolverine, it can be savage, but that it is also protective of those it considers family ....
Present:'...family' Storm utters, a sad look across her face as she holds up the panther trinket she gave to Logan many years ago. Betsy tells herself that it was a different time, and they all struggled to figure out who they were meant to be, while Rogue, sitting on a table, looks through some books, and comes across a letter from Carol Danvers, which she begins to read. Memories flood through Rogue's mind, as she reads the letter, in which Carol tells Logan that she is grateful for everything Charles did for her while she was recovering, but that she feels so betrayed right now – she can't believe Charles offered safe haven to Rogue after she stole her memories, powers and life. Carol's letter tells Logan that she was violated by Rogue, and now Charles is giving that monster a home, letting her join the X-Men – it makes her feel sick. Rogue remembers draining Ms Marvel's lifeforce, and a later encounter with Carol Danvers when she became a member of the Starjammers.
The letter continues, with Carol telling Logan that she knows what he has done in the past, the missions he has run and the bodies he has piled up. Carol's letter tells Logan that if he ever considered her a friend, ever cared about her, then she begs him to balance the scales and make it right. The letter ends with Carol telling Logan that whatever he chooses, honor or disgrace, she is gone, as the Earth holds nothing for her now, and given what she has experienced these past few weeks, she doesn't think she will miss it at all.
Tears fall down Rogue's face as she finishes the letter. 'Honor indeed' Betsy thinks to herself as she looks at some armor in a glass cabinet. Betsy recalls that at one time, Logan would have been judge, jury and executioner – but the Logan she knew had found something more to live for – a higher calling.
in Psylocke's memory:As their training concludes, Betsy and Logan sit next to each other, cross-legged, as Betsy tells Logan that she assumes he has thought much of death. 'Now, why would I do a stupid thing like that?' Logan responds. 'You can't be serious, Logan! Have you never considered how you'll be judged for all your deeds?' Betsy asks. Logan looks at Betsy and tells her that is just her English-Catholic guilt talking, and remarks that he doesn't even know if he can die. He adds that every time he thought he was ready to kick off, something pulled him back from the brink, and whatever that is, whatever they want to call it – fate or God or something else – he is going to see how far it takes him and try not to worry about what happens after – and just be himself as long as he can.
Present:'At his best... at his worst... Logan always knew who he was' Betsy tells herself, while looking at a photo. 'That clarity saved my soul more times than I can count' she thinks, before Kitty holds up an old photo of herself wearing an early costume and tells everyone that she is going to get pulled into a nostalgia vortex here. 'We've got places to be' she smiles.
Betsy is thankful that the Princess Bar has an extensive wardrobe for its entertainers, enabling her and the others to change into civilian clothing. As they do so, Kitty instructs Betsy to dig into Magneto's mind, while she and Storm pump him for information. Kitty tells Domino and Rogue that they are on guard duty and to watch their backs, before informing Jubilee to drop fireworks into the situation if things get out of hand, which will enable them go get into a defensive position. Betsy thinks that between this and the clothes they brought with them, they should be able to blend into the local nightlife – as much as women like them can blend in.
'Let’s do this' Kitty exclaims as she and the others, dressed for the Madripoor night scene, approach the King's Impresario Restaurant. Betsy thinks to herself that there is a different sort of power in being seen – if one knows how to use it – and they do. She suspects that they will need all the power they can muster. 'We are expected' Storm tells the bouncers outside the restaurant 'Of course!' one of them replies. The women examine their surroundings in the trendy restaurant, and head to a table, where Magneto is seated alone. 'Cheers' Magneto calls out, raising his glass as the women approach him. Magneto remarks that Madripoor is a city of many delights, and tells the women that he hopes they intend to stay long enough to enjoy them. 'That will depend on how well this conversation goes' Storm replies. 'I see' Magneto remarks.
Kitty tells Magneto that they don't have time for this. 'So you're saying we shouldn't order the chef's special?' Magneto jokes. Kitty asks him why he is stalling, to which Magneto asks Kitty why she is so tense. 'I don't know if they're gonna fight or #$%&, but something's gonna happen soon' Domino tells Jubilee, who is drinking a cocktail and suggests to Domino that she chow down while she can. 'If you know anything about Logan, you need to tell us right now' Kitty tells Magneto, who asks her if that is a threat. Betsy telepathically informs Kitty that they have a problem. 'Lay it on me' Kitty's thoughts tell Betsy, as Magneto announces that he doesn't take kindly to threats. Betsy explains to Kitty that it is the same as at the airport – she can't detect Magneto at all. 'No... he's not even here!' Betsy suddenly realizes, as her telepathic powers show her that Magneto is not sitting with them. 'It's a trap!' Betsy telepathically reports to the others.
Suddenly, the women are shocked as another psychic reveals herself, sitting among them pretending to be Magneto. 'Look at that, you figured it out!' Mindblast smirks, adding that they weren't fast enough. Betsy detects that Mindblast's mental shields are incredible, and wonders who she is, before Mindblast announces that she has seen what damage the Wind-Rider is capable of, and takes Storm down with a crippling psionic attack.
'Well done, Mindlbast' Viper calls out as she appears at the table, weapon in hand, and three other women standing behind her. 'Ladies, let's finish this, quick and efficient' Viper orders, as the X-Men look at her in shock. Betsy knows that Viper was a crime lord here in Madripoor for years, but that she has not been seen since the fall of Hydra. A tall woman with blocks over her hands looms over Rogue. Her name is Elizabeth Rawson, but she introduces herself as Knockout 'Lemme show you why' she offers Rogue as she slams her block-covered hand into Rogue, forcing Rogue into the table.
Viper opens fire on the X-Men and calls out to the Femme Fatale called Bloodlust and tells her that Domino is hers. 'Yes, my lady' the depowered mutant otherwise known as Beatta Dubiel responds as she slashes her spiked weapon across Domino's back, causing Domino to scream. Viper turns to a woman with long blonde hair and calls her Snake Whip, instructing her to capture Jubilee. 'Really, I get the kid?' Leeann Foreman, formerly known as Whiplash, mutters as she throws a coil around Jubilee's neck. 'Just do as you're told' Viper snaps, while Rogue's head is still slammed against the table by Knockout.
Betsy confronts Mindblast: 'Mass illusions, mental strikes and mind shields strong enough to resist my first attack... you are formidable, Mindblast' Betsy declares, before announcing that even she will not be able to resist her psychic knife – but before Betsy gets the chance to use her psi-knife against Mindblast, she finds herself under attack by a woman with short red hair wearing a purple dress, who sneaks up behind her and attacks her mind.
Betsy gets a whiff of perfume, then there is fire in her brain, as the new arrival exclaims 'Don't go anywhere, Psylocke. Not 'til I'm done with you'. Betsy is in anguish. She hasn't experienced pain like this – she burns. The woman introduces herself as Sapphire Styx, and remarks that Betsy's soul is her sustenance. Betsy grows weaker, she starts to drown, everything fades. 'What is this?' she wonders, unable to concentrate, unable to feel anything. Sapphire Styx looks very pleased with herself, and declares that Psylocke's life force is exquisite. 'I'm so sc-' Betsy starts to think, before losing consciousness.
'Dammit, dammit, DAMMIT!' Kitty Pryde shouts as she rushes forward, phasing through the startled Knockout. 'No fair!' Knockout exclaims as Kitty grabs Domino and pulls her away from Bloodlust. 'Don't look back' Kitty tells Jubilee as she grabs her and makes her intangible. 'Slippery little ghost!' Snake Whip snaps. 'What the -?' Viper exclaims, surprised as she opens fire at Kitty, too late though, as Kitty suddenly phases through the floor with Domino and Jubilee. 'Don't stop' Domino gasps. Snake Whip turns to Viper and assures her that they won't get far. Viper sighs and replies that she knows, but wanted it all taken care of in one swift strike.
'Even still... I'd say we've done quite well this evening. Wouldn't you agree?' Viper asks as the Femme Fatales gather around with the captured Storm and Rogue, and Sapphire Styx leans over Psylocke as she continues to drain her life force....

Untitled
'He saw me at my best... and my worst. But through it all... he knew who I was' Kitty Pryde thinks to herself as her mind wanders back to a time long ago.
in Kitty Pryde's memories:Shadowcat stands over Ogun, a blade raised above the warlord's head. Wolverine stands behind Shadowcat, his claws popped and ready. Shadowcat lowers the blade – then drops it, before turning away from Ogun, and rushing into Wolverine's arms.
Present:Kitty remembers that Logan was strong, but not cruel – a hero, not a killer – and he never gave up on her, even when she was ready to give up on herself – during her terrifying and enlightening trip to Japan – that was when she truly understood him. He would risk his life, his soul, for the people he cared about. Kitty has tried to live up to that same ideal – even when everything seems lost.
'Hold on!' Kitty shouts as she, Domino and Jubilee phase down into the sewer system beneath Madripoor. Kitty looks over at Domino and sees that she is bleeding, so tells her not to move. 'I'm quite aware of that, thank you' Domino mutters, while checking her wound. 'This place smells worse than Shogo's diapers' Jubilee remarks, referring to her son, before asking where they are.
Kitty announces that they are in the sewers under Madripoor's Lowtown, that this was the quickest place she could pull  them away from Viper and her super-powered mercenaries. Kitty tears part of her trouser leg and uses the material to bandage up Domino's wound, asking her if she can walk. 'I think so' Domino replies.
Kitty and Jubilee trudge through the sewers, propping Domino up between them, while Jubilee creates some plasma blasts to light their way. 'Not to put too fine a point on it, but those chicks...they kicked our asses' Jubilee remarks, adding that Storm, Rogue and Psylocke have all been knocked out. 'They beat our heavy hitters in thirty seconds flat!' Jubilee exclaims. 'We know... we were there' Domino mutters. Jubilee glances at Kitty and asks her what they are going to do. 'What we always do, Jubilee... just keep fighting' Kitty responds as they continue down the tunnel.
On another part of the island: 'The fight's over, Viper! The Femme Fatales decimated the X-Men in a matter of moments. Put a bounty out on Kitty Pryde, Domino and Jubilee. Dozens of hired guns in Lowtown will have them rounded up in no time' Mindblast exclaims as she holds Storm in a psychic field. Viper sits on a large chair and tells the Femme Fatales not to be so cocky. She adds that they did exemplary work, but that doesn't mean their mission is complete. Snake Whip stands near Viper, while Knockout holds an unconscious Rogue over her shoulders and tells Viper that her plan worked good, and asks her what is next. Viper reports that she will speak to their client and see how they wish to proceed. She then instructs the Femme Fatales to deposit the X-Men with their other special guest.
Mindblast and Knockout carry Rogue and Storm through the facility, and Mindblast remarks that Viper is being paranoid. 'Let her. She'll do her job and we'll do ours' Knockout replies. Doors open to some sort of laboratory, as Mindblast tells Knockout that she thinks they should be allowed to celebrate a bit. They come to a stop at a chair where an unconscious Magneto is being restrained. 'After all, it's not every day I get to pretend to be the Master of Magnetism while the real one is my plaything' Mindblast points out. 'You really messed him up' Knockout remarks. Mindblast runs her hands across Magneto's face and tellls him that she read online that experts on the mutant condition argue about his power level. 'Are you an “Omega-Level Mutant”?' Mindblast asks, deciding that it doesn't really matter, as once Sapphire and she had their fun, his mmind and body were as pliable and pitiful as anyone else's.
Mindblast throws Storm into a contraption that holds her against the wall, while Knockout places Rogue into a similar restraining contraption. Mindblast reveals that their new benefactors outfitted her with glorious technology that unlocked psychic abilities greater than she ever imagined – more than enough power to bend Magneto to her will. 'I'm sure your friends will find out hospitality just as charming as you did, my little magnet man...' Mindblast jokes.
Back in her throne room, Viper is still seating on her large chair, while Snake Whip stands at her side and pours her a glass of some alcoholic drink. A hologram of a bald man appears before them. 'Speak' he declares. 'Tell your boss that plans are continuing on schedule' Viper responds. 'Good' the man tells her, before asking if there has been any push back on the island. Viper tells him that there hasn't been from the locals, as a bit of financial influence pushed into the proper hands makes them turn a blind eye, as expected. The official asks about the X-Men, to which Viper reports that Magneto has been taken and his students are gone, while a strike team of other mutants were ambushed and captured.
The official asks after Sapphire, to which Viper informs him that is one of the reasons she called, and reveals that Sapphire Styx's hunger is becoming an issue – that she nearly sucked Magneto's soul dry before they could stop her – and now she is fawning over Psylocke. 'Mutant souls are potent fuel for the mistress and her kind' the official responds, pointing out that it is better that Styx takes power from them than piling up corpses from the island. He instructs Viper to focus on finalizing the delivery. 'All that we are serves the will of Soteira' he adds. '...as you wish' Viper tells him, before the communication ends. 'So we just ignore Sapphire's increasing appetite?' Snake Whip asks. 'You heard him... let the &!%$# feed' Viper replies.
Elsewhere, Sapphire Styxlooks pleased with herself as she walks towards a mirror, declaring that Madripoor is more than just a place for the rich and the poor – it is a mirror, reflecting what they fear and what they desire. She smiles at herself, and an unconscious Betsy Braddock can be seen on a couch behind her. Sapphire turns and walks over to Betsy, remarking that when she touched her, she fellt a surge of energy unlike anything she had ever tasted before – a maelstrom of psychic fire that warmed her from head to toe. 'Betsy Braddock...your soul is magnificent!' Sapphire kneels down beside Betsy and tells her that a spirit like hers could keep her young and vital for months-  maybe even years – but as she begins to take more of Betsy's life force, Sapphire is shocked to discover that there is nothing left – no heartbeat – no breath. 'She's already dead!' Sapphire gasps as she places her head on Betsy's chest.
Meanwhile, Kitty, Jubilee and Domino have made it to Wolverine's hidden storeroom inside the Princess Bar. 'You're not dead yet' Kitty tells Domino as she bandages up her wound. 'Well, that's an uplifting prognosis, Dr Pryde' Domino replies. Kitty tells her that she is serious, and that Domino is lucky the cut isn't deeper. 'That's my trick... lucky when it counts' Domino adds, while Jubilee fins a gun in a box and asks Kitty what the plan is – are they going to lie low here in Logan's safe house until they can get an SOS back to the Xavier Institute, but Kitty announces that that is not an option, as any calls they make off the island will be monitored, pinpointing their location. Kitty declares that she is not waiting around to find out what Viper ingends to do with Storm, Rogue and Betsy – they have to act now.
Domino suggets that they contact Tyger Tiger, as she runs the biggest crime syndicate on the island, and she and Viper are viscious rivals. Kitty explains that Tyger is a loose cannon, and although she used to be Logan's friend and lover, she recently tried to kill him, so she can't be trusted. Kitty points out that they aren't on their turf anymore, so they need to change tactics. Jubilee passes the handgun to Domino, who tells Kitty that if she has a plan, she is listening. 'Oh, no' Jubilee exclaims as Kitty turns to her, wearing a patch over one eye. 'Oh, yes' Kitty replies, telling Jubilee and Domino that they will do what “Patch” would do – this is his city and if they are going to survive, they need to play by his rules. 'You can't be serious...' Domino remarks. Kitty lifts the eye patch and tells her that she is one hundred percent sure. Kitty reminds them that Madripoor is not a place of law and order or proper protocol, and Logan understood that. 'It's all about hiding in plain sight and getting what you want with a swagger and a smile' Kitty tells her companions.
Shortly, Kitty, Jubilee and Domino are dressed again in civilian clothing. 'This is nuts' Jubilee remarks, but Domino reveals that she kinda likes it. Kitty is wearing sunglasses and tells the others to stay focused, and reminds them that they have work to do. They sweep the shadow alleys, annd visit dive bars and noodle stands. Their presence is noted by two men as they visit vendors selling their wares. Domino demonstrates her knife skills in a bar, where salty air is punctuated with tobacco. Kitty decides that if this weren't such a dire situation with friends in peril and Logan's body missing, this would almost be fun.
They continue on their quest, going from Lowtown to Hightown, through neon-drenched streets and top-shelf liquor, with rich people flashing influence and a dozen different perfumes fighting for attention. One clue leads them to another – Logan taught Kitty how to look past the surface and figure out who wants to fight and who is willing to fold. They head into a casino. Kitty knows that Viper won't be here, but her minions have been sighted at this casino over the past few weeks, so it is good enough for a look. They walk through the casino, lights are blinking and coins are jangling – nothing out of the ordinary – but suddenly, Kitty notices a man in a white suit being guarded by the final of Viper's mercs, the former mutant called Bloodlust who is now a weapon-wielding assassin. Kitty instructs Jubilee to make a scene. 'On it' Jubilee smiles.
'Ommigod, I love your hair so much!' Jubilee exclaims as she approaches Bloodlust, who has grayish hair, a similar color to her skin. 'I'd love to do the same thing, I mean, I've always wanted to, but never had the courage and you're just so awesome!' Jubilee adds.
Bloodlust turns to Jubilee, a little surprised, before Jubilee shouts 'Let's celebrate!' as she creates some fireworks, knocking Bloodlust back and surprising the man she is guarding, and others around them. 'What the -' the man in the white suit begins, before Kitty grabs him, 'Hey, pal!' she remarks. 'Who are -' the man begins, before screaming as Kitty tells him to get ready for a ride, as she phases him away through the floor.
'Oops! Looks like my phasing powers don't work as well as Kitty's do...' Domino jokes as she slams Bloodlust into a table. 'Can't tell you how much I missed being able to do this' Jubilee grins as she casts more fireworks about the casino. The plasma fireworks set the sprinkler system off, and water falls from the sprinklers above. 'Still no phasing' Domino points out as she continues to slam Bloodlust's head into the table, again and again. 'Nope...I don't think I have phasing powers at all! Isn't that weird?' Domino asks.
Seventeen minutes later, on a rooftop, Kitty, Domino and Jubilee have the mystery man backed up against a wall as the rain pours down on them. 'Who are you?' Kitty demands. The man in the white suit holds his hands up and introduces himself as Stenya Ubacowits. He assures them that he is not a high roller, that he is good for the chips and will pay what he owes. 'We don't care about your gambling debts, you moron' Domino tells him, before asking him what he is doing for Viper. 'Oh, that...' Stenya replies. 'Yes, that' Domino declares, before pointing a gun at his head and demanding that he talk. Stenya quickly claims that he is not a bad guy, that he is a mathematician. 'Really?' Kitty asks. Stenya reveals that he was hired to plot flight trajectories for a satellite.
'...and racking up the IOUs at the casino?' Domino enquires. Stenya explains that tonight's launch was called off because of bad weather, and that he just wanted  to have some fun. 'I'm not a crook!' he adds. Kitty steps between Domino and Syenya and asks him what the satellite is for. Stenya claims that he doesn't know, that he wasn't told. Kitty then asks him where the launch pad is, to which Stenya tells her that he shouldn't say. 'I could just ghost you into the wall and let you go...' Kitty suggests as she wraps a hand around Stenya's neck. 'No, no!' Stenya quickly replies, offering to show Kitty. 'Good' Kitty declares.
Back in the laboratory, Rogue regains consciousness. 'Anyone get the plate on the truck that ran me over?' she mumbles as she wakes, before realizing that she is being held in incredible restraints that she can't break free from. She supposes that the reinforced cuffs are from a material she hasn't sene before. 'Looks like these jerks got us pegged pretty well, eh, Storm?' Rogue frowns as she continues to try and pulls herself free. When Storm doesn't respond, Rogue looks over, 'Uh... Ororo?' she asks as Storm stares straight ahead, her hair blowing around thanks to the howling wind she has created. 'Ah know that look, lady...' Rogue remarks, realizing that Ororo is trying to keep it together, but being in this prison is bringing out her phobia and fears about being trapped. 'Which means the weather is going fierce ta match your rage...and heaven help anyone caught outside' Rogue declares as the rain pours down harder than before, and lightning crackles across the Madripoor sky.
Sapphire Styx smiles as she stands on her balcony, looking up to the sky as the rain drenches her. After some time, she turns and goes back inside her apartment, 'How delightful. I haven't felt rain that primal in decades' she remarks, before picking up a martini glass and telling Betsy that it is too bad she died so soon, otherwise she could have enjoyed it as well. She pours some alcohol into the glass and wonders if she will pop down to the dungeon and get a little soul snack to tide her over until the morning. 'Wouldn't that be -' Sapphire begins, going wide-eyed as she turns to Betsy's body and is so shocked at what she sees, she drops her glass and the bottle of alcohol. Lightning crackles outside, as Betsy's body is being held by Patch, who is sitting on the sofa! Patch smirks as he tells Sapphire that she has been a bad girl. 'Know what that means, don'cha?' he asks her, announcing that he is going to have to dish out some appropriate punishment!

Untitled
Domino remembers fighting alongside Wolverine long ago – dodging Hydra agents who shot at them. Domino tells herself that whenever Wolverine was involved, she knew they were in for a good time. He was fearless, cocky, ridiculously lucky, death seemed impossible- unless you crossed the two of them working together, as these Hydra agents found out. Domino remembers that those bad old days were oh so good – they didn't just fight alongside each other, they also slept together. She remembers looking into Wolverine's eyes – it was a life built on trouble – and that is what Logan was – is – and always has been – trouble. Which is why they would never last.
And that's also why Domino is here today, in Madripoor, rain pouring down as she works with other X-Men to figure out who took his body after he died. So far the mission has gone poorly, as the team was ambushed by Viper and the Femme Fatales, who kidnapped Storm, Psylocke and Rogue faster than anyone can say “adamantium”, leaving Domino, Kitty Pryde and Jubilee to clean up the mess. A guard walks nearby as Domino, Kitty, Jubilee and their associate, Stenya Ubacowits, a math major hired by Viper to calculate flight paths for some kind of rocket launch move alongside a building. Domino decides that this is a caper worthy of Logan, but there is no sign of him yet. She holds a gun to Stenya's head and tells him to stay still until the guard is gone.
They carry on, another guard is busy on his cell phone – until Kitty phases her hand through a wall, and slams his head into the wall, knocking him out. The rain continues to beat down on them, as Jubilee tells Stenya to take Domino to the launch pad. 'Okay, but -' Stenya begins, to which Jubilee tells him 'No buts – just results'.
Domino holds her gun to Stenya's back and assures Kitty and Jubilee that she will make sure Viper's satellite stays grounded. 'Good Jubilee and I will find the others... then we get the hell out of here' Kitty replies. 'I thought the deal was just to show you the fortress! If they find me with you I'll -' Stenya tells Domino, who shushes him and remarks that the only thing she hates more than a chatty man is a cowardly chatty man. 'Now get moving' Domino declares.
Inside Viper's throne room, Viper and Snake Whip stand before a hologram of a representative from Soteira, who reminds Viper that she told him plans were proceeding on schedule. 'Why is there now a delay?' he asks. Viper informs him that they didn't have a choice, as the island is being hit by torrential rain. 'Unacceptable' the Soteira official declares. He tells Viper that they insist she continue with the original timeline and launch before sunrise. 'That's insane!' Viper replies, pointing out that this entire operation could be destroyed. The official warns Viper not to question Soteira's motivation, as forces far greater than her are at play here. He suggests that her engineering team can boost the rocket through the troposphere and compensate for drift created by the weather. 'Very well' Viper responds, before she hears some deranged laughyer. 'Oh, for #$%&'s sake...what now?' Viper asks, spinning around, she finds Sapphire Styx stumbling towards her, clutching her head. 'He never left! Never, never, oh so clever... I wish I'd never seen such weather...' she mumbles.
'What the $#%& are you going on about?' Snake Whip asks. 'Hold her, Snake Whip' Viper instructs Snake Whip, who places her rope around Sapphire Styx, who suddenly screams 'SILENCE!' and Snake Whip falls over, clutching her head. Viper puts a gun to Sapphire's head and asks her what she is doing. 'Isn't it obvious?' Can't you see? I'm here with our old friend...it's Patch!' Sapphire Styx gasps, wide-eyed, as a hallucination of Patch appears before her. 'Logan, Wolverine, X-Man, Weapon X, your X-husband... who we thought had been x-ecuted...' Sapphire rambles. Patch tells her to slow down, that she is getting ahead of herself – Viper and the others can't see him. 'I'm here just for you' Patch reveals, popping his claws in front of her face. 'Nonononon' Sapphire utters, terrified.
In a holding room, Mindblast is sitting on the lap of Magneto, who is currently restrained. A voice comes over the intercom, instructing Mindblast to stop playing with Magneto and to get up to the main room. 'What? Why?' Mindblast retorts. 'Something's seriously messed up with Sapphire. She's rambling... not making any #$&%*$ sense' she is told. Mindblast scowls, 'Fine' she mutters, before telling Magneto not to worry, as she will be back later. Mindblast turns to Knockout, who is standing nearby and tells her to come on, that they need to go take care of this $#%&. 'Kay' Knockout replies. 'You got Magneto to mess with and I got nothing. I was hoping to go a couple more rounds with Rogue. Show her who's boss...' Knockout tells Mindblast as they walk down a corridor. 'No can do. Soteira decided they wanted all the x-wenches we nabbed included in the big delivery' Mindblast explains. 'What about the dead one?' Knockout asks. 'Leave her. She's Sapphire's problem, not ours' Mindblast declares. Knockout utters many expletives, to which Mindblast tells her not to worry, that they will get her more people to punch.
Suddenly: 'SURPRISE!' Jubilee shouts as she drops down from the rafters above Knockout and Mindblast, distracting them with her fireworks powers. 'Whoa!' Knockout calls out as Kitty phases through the wall, 'The bigger they are...you know the rest' Kitty remarks as she trips Knockout up, while warning Jubilee not to let Mindblast concentrate, even for a moment. Knockout roars as she gets back to her feet and tries to punch Kitty, while Jubilee wraps her legs around Mindblast's neck. 'I haven't decided if your weird-ass brain har is cool or $#%&$#& gross or what, but whatever it is, I'm not letting you get the whammy on us this time!' Jubilee exclaims as she tosses some more fireworks in front of Mindblast.
Back outside, Domino decides that it looks like she will be adding “stopped evil rocket launch” to her resume as she watches as guards walk through the rain, carrying two stasis tanks towards the rocket. Stenya points out that he has brought Domino to the site, and now she can do whatever she wants, but she needs to let him go. 'Don't rush me, math man' Domino replies as she notices that Storm and Rogue are inside the stasis tanks. Domino declares that she has to figure out how to get Storm and Rogue off that rocket, when suddenly, Bloodlust leaps onto the platform Domino is standing on and shoves her blades into Stenya's back. 'You're dead, Domino' Bloodlust proclaims. 'Oh crap' Domino mutters, quickly dodging Bloodlust as she lunges towards her. 'You're called “Bloodlust” right?' Domino asks, while Bloodlust roars at her. Domino tells her opponent that she can appreciate a name like that, as she is a real 90s girl, too. Bloodlust starts to cut the wire fence that surrounds the platform they are on, as Domino calls out 'I mean, look at us, two unnaturally pale-skinned chicks with a penchant for killing and -' she doesn't get to finish her sentence, as the platform collapses and both of them begin to fall. 'DIE!' Bloodlust shrieks. 'I'm working on it...' Domino mutters.
'This brain babe's got a bunch of tech junk on her back!' Jubilee calls out as she continues to blast Mindblast with fireworks. 'Roger that!' Kitty responds, before phasing her hand through Mindblast's neck, disrupting the circuits. Mindblast screams, before clutching her head and declaring that Kitty has ruined it – all the psychic enhancements that her mistress gave her. 'You two think you can stop us? I'm gonna twist your heads off you li'l -' Knockout exclaims as she moves towards Kitty and Jubilee, until Mindblast tells her not to, and that they have to get out of here. 'What the hell are you talking about?' Knockout asks. Mindblast explains that without her enhancements, she can't control minds anymore. There is a loud rumbling and Mindblast declares that Magneto is free. 'Did she say “Magneto”?' Jubilee asks. 'Oh, $#%&' Knockout mutters before Magneto breaks free of the stasis tank he was placed in and warns Mindblast that she will pay for what she has done.
Back in the throne room: 'Head feels like a bowling ball...' Snake Whip moans as she comes to, and is shocked to look up and see the hallucination of Patch fighting Sapphire. 'Is that Wolverine?' she asks. 'It's time for payback, Sapphire! You never shoulda hitched yer ride to my wagon!' Patch tells her as he punches Sapphire in the face. 'Don't let him kill me...' Sapphire calls out, shielding herself from Patch, claw marks manifesting on her body. 'Who? There's no one here, you crazy &!%(#' Viper responds, while someone informs Viper via communicator that the launch site is under attack. 'Launch now!' Viper commands.
At the launch site, Domino and Bloodlust lie motionless on the ground where they had fallen. Thankfully, whenever death is a heartbeat away, Domino's little luck power kicks into gear – it doesn't mean things aren't painful, of course, they are just not lethal. A blast knocks her and Bloodlust backwards, and Domino wakes to see Magneto hovering nearby, with Mindblast trapped in metal coils. 'Did you think you could violate my mind and live to see another day?' Magneto asks her. 'Please! Don't!' Mindblast pleads, while Kitty calls out to Magneto, telling him to leave Mindblast, and motioning to the rocket nearby informing him that they have to stop it. Magneto leers at the rocket, and drops Mindblast to the ground as an announcement reports that the launch will commence in 30 seconds. Domino looks up and decides that she doesn't recall the bad old days hurting quite as much as this. She sees Bloodlust starting to recover and kicks her in the face 'Oh well' Domino mutters.
As the launch sequence continues to countdown, the hallucination of Patch pushes Sapphire Styx through a window, and she crashes to the ground below. 'How many people have you drained? How many souls have you taken?' Patch asks, standing over Sapphire, his claws at the ready as Sapphire declares that they are hers, and Logan can't have them. Magneto flies over to the rocket as launch sequence continues to count down, while Domino goes over to Sapphire and points a gun at her: 'Did you just say “Logan”? Where is he?' Domino demands. 'He... he's buried inside me...with the others...' Sapphire explains, before she screams as a voice projects around everyone: 'It ends here, Sapphire!' the voice exclaims. 'Betsy...is that you?' Domino calls out. 'No more! NO MORE SOULS!' the voice calls out as Sapphire's form begins to splinter and break apart!

Untitled
Betsy Braddock a.k.a. Psylocke is scared a she falls, tumbles, swirling out of control – she is so scared as she continues to fall, past the agonized souls of the victims of Sapphire Styx, some of who reach out to her. She has never felt pain – not like this. She remembers Sapphire Styx briefly introducing herself as she shoved her hands onto her head and absorbed her soul. She burns, drowns, everything begins to fade. Betsy wonders what this is – she can't concentrate, can't feel anything – except the fear. 'UHHH!' she cries out as her soul lands after being swallowed by Sapphire – lands inside Sapphire among the bones of long forgotten victims. Betsy begins to feel a bit of pain and confusion and wonders where she is – and for that matter, who she is.
Betsy's form is neutral, white and blank save for her blonde hair, and then her caucasian body forms. She stands up before a reflective surface, 'Stop that. Stop. Even here, torn away from your physical form... you are yourself. You are Betsy Braddock' Betsy tells herself as her blonde hair gives way to purple hair, and pink clothing manifests.
More reflective surfaces appear, each showing Betsy at a different time in her life – as a model, in her early pink X-Men costume, as Captain Britain, as a victim of Mojo, and in her armored X-Men costume. She reaches out to one of the reflective surfaces, which causes them all to ripple, and the reflections change – she sees herself as Lady Mandarin, and in her classic 90s ninja costume, the costume she wore while part of an X-Force squad, and how she looked after an encounter with the Crimson Dawn, as well as a more recent costume. This all feels like a lifetime ago, and most of them were, before her life merged with Kwannon, all of them – Betsy Braddock.
Betsy begins to wander this strange place, bones under her feet, she knows that this place is not her – she has been drawn here by that horrific woman, Sapphire Styx. Betsy decides to dig a little deeper to find out who Sapphire Styx is. She discovers images from across time of Sapphire draining the life force, the very essence from many victims. Always feeding, always killing, preying on souls for centuries, extending her own life and vitality by destroying theirs. Betsy is horrified by the images that play out before her. Men, women, lovers, children. Some skeletal figures start to rise from the muck and bones around Betsy, they are the psychic shels left behind in Sapphire's mind. 'Stay back!' Betsy calls out, pushing one of them away. Betsy thinks that she may no longer inhabit the body of a Japanese warrior woman, but that doesn't mean she is helpless. She knows she needs to get out of here and find her friends, so starts to run – and is shocked when she comes across Wolverine, or at least a sliver of his soul, trapped in here!
'Logan!' Betsy gasps. 'Betsy-girl, you're sure a sight fer sore eyes... well, the one I got left, anyway' Logan's life force smiles. Tears fall down Betsy's face as she goes over to Logan and asks him how long he has been here. 'Years, maybe' Logan replies, joking that it is hard to check a calendar when you're strung up in the swamp – but he knows it has been awhile, remembering kissing Sapphire Styx. Betsy realizes that Sapphire drained the others but couldn't purge Logan completely. She tells Logan that they need to fight back together, that they can find a way through Sapphire's mind and escape. Betsy projects psionic energy, merged with Logan's life force to appear as a hallucination of Patch, which begins to plague Sapphire – and begins to drive her insane.
The other drained souls begin to cry out to Betsy, surrounding her and Logan's life force, 'No more!' one of them calls out. 'Avenge us!' another pleads. 'You must!' one of them tells her. 'Please!' others exclaim. 'You heard 'em, Bets. Break the beast' Logan tells Betsy, and her indomitable will saves her again, even from beyond the grave. 'I will! I swear!' Betsy smiles, as she draws on the strength of those souls around her, and of Logan's life force, 'IT ENDS HERE, SAPPHIRE! NO MORE! NO MORE SOULS!' Betsy shouts, and in the real world, Sapphire Styx's form begins to shatter and is torn apart as Psylocke is reborn – like waking from a dream, she is back, back where she belongs.
In dramatic display, Betsy is wearing a new purple and black costume, her light purple hair has returned as has her caucasian body. 'Betsy! You're you again!' Kitty Pryde calls out as she, Domino, Jubilee and Magneto stare at her in awe.
Betsy knows that there is no time to celebrate, as Domino urgently tells Kitty that Rogue and Storm are on the rocket which is about to launch nearby. 'We've gotta stop it before they go into orbit!' Domino shouts. 'Erik!' Kitty calls out to Magneto. 'Of course...I am the Master of Magnetism' Magneto boasts as he flies over to the rocket, but after his ordeal he is still weak, and he can't hold onto it. 'Our friends are still in danger' Betsy thinks to herself, while Kitty rushes over to the rocket and phases into it. 'An X-Man's work is never done' Betsy thinks, while nearby, the Femme Fatale called Bloodlust stirs, and moves towards her. 'The battle is never over' Betsy reminds herself, as she spins around and unleashes psychic energy, knocking Bloodlust backwards. 'Stand still you little fire freak!' Knockout exclaims as she tries to hit Jubilee. '“Fire freak”? Really?' Jubilee replies, before remarking 'C'mon, Miss Grunts-a-Bunch, you can quip better than that. When it comes to trash talk, there's only one rule... “Don't hold back”!' Jubilee exclaims as she kicks Knockout in the face, sending her careening backwards.
'Snake Whip, keep them occupied so we can complete the mission!' Viper orders as she and Snake Whip appear on the edge of a broken window. 'Yes, my mistress' Snake Whip responds as she drops down to the ground. Betsy knows that Viper has the higher ground and opens fire, which makes the X-Men easy targets – as long as her eyes are working properly, of course. Domino takes cover behind some rubble, while Betsy gives Viper a quick psychic suggestion, and Viper suddenly finds that her vision is far from optimal. 'What the $#%&' Viper calls out, while inside the rocket, Kitty finds the stasis tanks where Storm and Rogue are being held captive. Betsy contacts her telepathically and asks if she's found them, and Kitty confirms that she has. She phases Storm out, and then Rogue. 'Now just gimme a sec... while I get them free... and rip-cord outta this rocket ride!' Kitty exclaims as she phases through the rocket, holding her friends and making them intangible as well as they float down to the ground.
'Well done, Katherine...' Magneto utters as he moves away from the rocket as it launches into space. Magneto drops to the ground, gasping for breath. 'I don't know who the $%^& you are, Tea and Crumpets, but I'm gonna -' Snake Whip calls out as she lunges towards Betsy, who knows that Snake Whip could be a threat – if only she knew exactly where Betsy was standing, as Snake Whip falls through a psychic projection of Betsy, crashing to the ground. At the same time, Knockout gathers herself, 'You are not taking us out. No way, no how...' she calls out. 'Lady, Ah do believe it's time for some payback' Rogue responds, grabbing Knockout's head, she admits that Knockout is tough, and tells her that she appreciates that, as she absorbs Knockout's strength to her own, and slams her hard in the face to make sure that she doesn't cause any more trouble. Domino goes over to Snake Whip, 'Ohhh – down for the count! Give up?' Domino asks. 'I'm not %$&^#%& stupid. I know when I'm beat' Snake Whip replies, looking up at Domino. 'Good girl' Domino tells her.
Betsy looks up to see Storm soar into the sky and remembers how awestruck she was when she first joined the X-Men, the trepidation and fear that she wouldn't find her place among them – a simplier time, beautiful and vulnerable, back when they fought villains instead of each other. Storm uses her powers to calm the raging weather, before dropping to the ground, regrouping with Betsy, Kitty, Domino and Magneto. 'You let the rocket get away!' Jubilee calls out to Magneto, who turns to Mindblast, still trapped in metal bonds, struggling to free herself. Magneto explains that Mindblast's torture left him weaker than he anticipated, but he still has enough strength to ensure she pays for her deeds. Domino raises her gun to Magneto and tells him that the Femme Fatales are done, and that he needs to let Mindblast go. 'Killing in the heat of battle's one thing, but we're not doing cold blooded murder. No way' Domino exclaims. 'She's right, Erik' Kitty agrees. Magneto glances sideways, 'Pointing a gun at me, really?' he frowns.
'If you go down this road again, we'll stop you' Domino warns Magneto. 'As if you could' Magneto mutters, while tightening the metal around Mindblast's neck. 'I could. With a moment's concentration I could stop him cold. But I need to see if he's returned to the darkest parts of himself... if I need to kill him again to save us all' Betsy thinks to herself as she watches Magneto intently. Blood pours from Mindblast's eye sockets, she appears to be in agony, before Magneto releases her, and tells the X-Men that he will leave Mindblast alive as a gift to them for helping him escape. 'You're welcome' he adds. 'Small blessings' Betsy thinks to herself. The X-Men question Magneto about Logan's body doing missing, but he denies any knowledge or involvement. Betsy detected his mind, which was a swirl of complex emotions and loyalties, but knows he is telling the truth. Magneto swears that he will destroy the launch site, track down Viper and purge every vestige of her criminal empire from Madripoor. She hopes that will keep him busy, as the Master of Magnetism needs focal points for his attention, lest he fall back on bad habits and try to reclaim the past.
Later, Kitty, Storm, Rogue and Domino return to Patch's secret room at the Princess Bar. Kitty thanks Mr Halliday for his assistance earlier. Mr Halliday responds by telling her that Patch always paid his debts and did fight by him. 'I hope you found what you were looking for' Mr Halliday adds. 'Not quite. But we're not giving up yet' Kitty responds. Domino turns to Storm and tells her that she is sorry she missed out on the nightlife – when they weren't almost getting killed, it was pretty badass. 'No wonder Logan finds this island so charming' Storm replies. “Found” Domino reminds Storm. 'He “found” is charming'. She adds that she knows it sucks to be reminded, but Logan is dead. Storm folds her arms and tells Domino 'You've been with the X-Men long enough to know that death  is more of an intermission than a conclusion'. Domino smiles and replies 'Heh. May we all be so lucky...'
Rogue tells Kitty that that was bad luck – no body and no leads. 'What do we do now?' she asks. Kitty replies by telling Rogue that she wouldn't say there were “no leads”, and informs her that Snake Whip was the first to start talking once she was locked up, and she told them that the people who hired Viper and her team were definitely looking for Logan, and in return for a lighter sentence, she coughed up the organization's name - “Soteira”. Rogue asks Kitty if she has any idea what it means, to which Kitty tells her that she doesn't, but that it is worth investigating in any case. Kitty reports that she has already reached out to Carol Danvers to see if she and the team at the Alpha Flight Space Station can track where the rocket was heading after they lost sight of it. Rogue remarks that Betsy has been quiet since they left the fortress, and Kitty reminds her that Betsy has been through a lot, and Jubilee has gone to check on her to make sure she is okay.
'Hey, Betsy' Jubilee calls out as she finds Betsy sitting on the edge of a rooftop. 'Hullo Betsy responds. Jubilee sits down next to Betsy and hands her a snack – a lepat pisang, which is palm sugar and banana mush cooked in banana leaf. 'It's good' Jubilee assures her. Betsy thanks Jubilee, and places the snack down next to her, before gazing out over Madripoor. 'So, this is you, right? Like, the original you?' Jubilee asks. 'Yes' Betsy replies. Jubilee asks Betsy if she still remembers all the dumb $#%& they have been through. 'Absolutely' Betsy tells her. 'Okay, cool. So... how do you feel?' Jubilee asks. Betsy explains that when Sapphire Styx exploded, her psychic form began to slip away, so instinctively, she used the soul power Sapphire left behind to create a new body, molecule by molecule. Betsy tells Jubilee that as she might imagine, it feels a bit strange, but also oddly comforting, as for so many years her mind and body have been manipulated for the machinations of others – Doctor Synne, the STRIKE Division, Mojo, the Hand, all of them using her soul to further their ends. 'No more. At last I am myself' Betsy exclaims. 'No longer tied to someone else's destiny'.
A crew of men is inside Viper's fortress, and one of them tells the others that Dao said he saw a rocket launch from here last night. 'What? Dao's a drunk! No one's gonna launch a rocket during a typhoon!' another man exclaims. 'Did he take a video?' one of them asks. 'No, he said he couldn't find his phone' the other man replies as they start to remove a window. 'Well, there you go...' another man mutters. 'Another weird thing on an island full of mysteries' one of them points out. Suddenly, a woman appears behind him and holds a blade of psionic energy to one of the men, and in Japanese, she tells him to stay silent, and calm – she has a few questions!

1st story: The Promise
2nd story: How Love Works
3rd story: My Girlfriend, The Thief!
Zorgvield Cemetery, Amsterdam, current time…Wolverine silently stands, in his X-Men uniform, before a grave. He takes out a golden locket from his pocket. He takes a closer look at it, and remembers a time from his past.
Berlin, 1943…While lying in bed with a beautiful, blonde woman, Logan claims he should not have let this happen. The woman, wearing the exact same locket, smiles that it’s nothing, defending that she let it happen too. Logan takes an angry look at her, but calms down, and smiles. The woman takes off her locket and wants Logan to have it. Logan won’t let Catharina do it, but she wants to give Logan her locket for good luck. She wants to make Logan promises something in case they never see each other again, but Logan stops her, confidant that they will. He promises her that. He puts his pants on, and leaves.
Catharina follows him. They arrive in front of a bunker. She explains that Dr. Maier will be in his lab in the Southeast corner of the second floor, and she has learned that the guy prefers to work alone, especially at night. She promises to guard the front of the building and occupy its guards. Logan enters the bunker, and Catharina hopes God will keep him safe.
But as Logan goes deeper into the building, he enters a room and ends up trapped! A viewing window opens. Dr. Meier and a soldier show themselves, and… Catharina is at their side? Meier reveals to Logan that Catharina has betrayed him. He wonders how that makes Logan feel. Logan takes an angry look on his face. Catharina apologizes to her love, claiming she didn’t have a choice, as these soldiers have captured her sisters. She couldn’t bear the horrors they would inflict on her sisters, so she had to do this. She truly is sorry.
Green fog fills Logan’s cell. He panics a bit. Catharina protest, shouting at Meier that he promised he would only study on him, and said he needed Logan alive. Meier sarcastically smiles, remembering saying those words, but he also said that he would let Catharina live. He has the soldier shoot her!Logan hears the gunshot and angrily protests. He tries to escape his cell, but more fog appears by the second. Meier finds Logan to be an interesting specimen, and finds it a shame that he was born a mongrel. He asks the soldier what he thinks Logan is saying. In his cell, Logan, almost without breath, promises that no matter how long it will take him, he’ll hunt Meier down. And when he does, he’ll kill him.
Zorgvield Cemetery, Amsterdam, current time…Wolverine leaves the locket on Maier’s grave. He notices that it’s day again, and leaves.
2nd story: James Gilray believes that his beautiful wife, Birgit, is having an affair. It’s been going on a few weeks now. Detective Chandler tells James that his wife is beautiful. While drinking, James admits that he knows that, just like every other lone wolf in this city does. He begs Chandler to find out the truth, because not knowing it is killing him. Chandler doesn’t think it will hurt less when he finds out Birgit is having an affair. He’s afraid that isn’t how love works.
In any way, Chandler takes on the case. As he tries to find Birgit across town, he wonders how love does work, and how a marriage like James and Birgit’s stops working. She’s an intelligent and successful woman, besides being absolutely gorgeous. They are both beautiful, young and rich. Gilray assured Chandler that everything was fine in the bedroom.
Chandler spots Birgit with a man named Jimmy in his sport scar, driving to a local restaurant. He follows them in it. Birgit tells Jimmy that she thinks a man is staring at her, but he claims she’s being silly. Chandler hides behind his newspaper, wondering why Birgit wants to risk having an affair. What would it take to lure Birgit away from all the joy she has in her life?
The detective follows Birgit to her apartment, and finds out that she’s making love to… a green potato?! Birgit tells Doop not to worry about the curtains and just come back to bed with her. A startled Chandler jokes that you see something new every day.
Chandler goes back to his office and contacts James. He explains that he has been spying on Birgit for five days now, and can honestly tell James she’s not seeing with another man. A happy James leaves the office. Chandler doesn’t know why he didn’t tell James the truth. He realizes that other private investigators focus on murders, money and missing people. Chandler specializes himself in broken hearts. He believes that maybe he is sick of all the misery. Maybe he wants to believe that love can work. He has seen how beautiful Birgit is. She could have any man she wanted. But she chooses for a big, green potato like Doop, and drives with him in a sports car.
Doop and Birgit enter a hotel together. She orders the manager to have some Champaign and Belgian cookies brought to their room, including some live bugs. They leave to their bedroom to make more love. Chandler, still spying on her, doesn’t believe this relationship can last. And then, Birgit is bound to move on to some other new lover. And when that time comes, Chandler will be waiting (hey, he’s only human, which is more than he can say about the green potato).
The relationship between Doop and Birgit goes for a few more days. They even hang out at the beach together. Chandler still spies on them, and keeps lying to James, until he finds out the truth. James angrily demands to know why Chandler lied to him, as Birgit left him this morning, leaving nothing but a note saying she did. Chandler admits that he got emotionally involved, and that Birgit and her new lover booked a room in Nevada. He gives the hotel, and promises to waive his usual fee. He starts drinking and apologizes for this, but James angrily hits Chandler and leaves.
Chandler realizes that James is acting crazy right now and can do anything right now. Chandler admits that he’s crazy in love, and rushes to his car hoping he won’t be too late. A few moments later, he arrives in front of Birgit and Doop’s hotel and hears gunshots and screams. Chandler runs towards their room and breaks the door open. James orders him to stay out of this, wanting to kill his wife and Doop. Chandler wastes no time and simply knocks James out. He reaches out his hand, guessing he fell in love the moment they met, and wants to give their relationship a chance.
Later, Chandler admits that he broke the first rule of his profession: he fell in love with someone he was tailing. This sure wasn’t the way he planned it. But he guesses that’s the way love works. And it does work sometimes. Chandler drives away in his car, with Doop sitting next to him! They start making love.
3rd story: Cannonball remembers that he has been hanging out at his girlfriend, Lila Cheney’s, apartment for a while now, because his is getting fumigated. And for the first time since a very long time, he has noticed her every move. The more Sam watched her, the more nervous she seemed to get. Lila had been “working on the new set” for weeks now! First, she worked alone, writing new songs. Then the band came along and they practiced together. But always, they didn’t want to be disturbed. They hadn’t played out in ages, and yet Sam saw Lila less than ever! Her frequent disappearing acts made Sam’s imagination race wildly. Could Lila be using her powers of intergalactic teleportation to return to her old ways? Her old life of crime? Sam didn’t know how he could face his girlfriend, the thief.
Lila is getting ready. She tells Sam she is off to practice, and tells Sam not to forget to lock up when he leaves this time. Sam promises to do that, and asks Lila if she wants him to stop by the practice. Lila hesitates, telling Sam not to do it, claiming the band is still working on the new set, claiming it won’t be any fun for him. And she remembers that half of the time Sam tells her he’ll come visit her, he takes off to correct some wrong-doings as Cannonball anyway. She tells him goodbye and slams the door shut.
Sam puts on his jacket, remembering that Lila swore she would give up her thieving ways. He refuses to believe she’s falling back into it. He wants to find out the truth. He had trusted Lila with his whole heart, until now. She has never given him any reason not to trust her, but her behavior has been so sketchy lately. And Lila’s ability to teleport to other galaxies could easily explain why she needed “some time alone.” Sam takes off and sees Lila leaving to her club, but eventually teleports away, making it Sam unable to find her.
He returns to Lila’s apartment. He begins to “casually” look around it, searching for evidence of her intergalactic travels. And after a few hours, he finds a guitar and a small, glowing tiny diamond. Sam is stunned and confused, and wants to talk to Lila. But she suddenly teleports inside the apartment again, angrily demanding to know what Sam is doing. Speechless, Sam tries to fake that he was looking for his keys. Lila realizes Sam is lying, and is bad at it too. Sam admits that, but wants to know where she got the glowing thing. Lila hopes Sam isn’t saying what she thinks he’s saying.
Sam believes he is right, and that the thing is alien in origin and that Lila stole it. Lila denies that, revealing that she has been playing with the band on Planet 201 in order to pay for it. She explains that the glowing thing is a rare Congrevean love-sphere. It was supposed to be an anniversary present. Lila admits that she always has a hard time trying to find a present for Sam. She even had to get a job all the way across the galaxy just to do something nice for him. Lila can’t believe Sam would accuse her of stealing, even when she gave him her word she wouldn’t do it anymore. She doesn’t think her word means anything to Sam, and angrily leaves again.
Cannonball realizes he made a mistake, and feels sorry for it. In the coming days, Lila does her best to ignore Sam, but he is determined to make it up to her. He cleans the house, and even buys presents for her. He even sang a song for her and cooked a meal, did everything he could think of to win her back. But nothing seems to work. In fact, things were getting worse, even when he visited the club to hear Lila and her band perform.
After the show, Lila feels greet, except for their song “Sing-Y Song-Y,” which she admits she totally crushed. Suddenly, a teleportation portal opens and an alien comes running through it! He calls out to Lila, claiming she has stolen his guitar and has traveled light years to reclaim it. He desperately wants his Fender guitar back as its sound quality is unsurpassed throughout the entire galaxy. He grabs Lila who does her best in defending her guitar. The alien explains that the tracking devices he placed on the guitar and the Galactic Gateway Maker 3000 have allowed him the opportunity to reclaim it. He won’t leave Earth without it.
Sam notices that Lila is in danger and rushes into action, and punches the alien as hard as he can. He eventually manages to knock him down. He explains to the alien that he’s making a mistake. This isn’t his guitar. He bought it for Lila when she was feeling blue when her career was tanking. He remembers scratching it on the way home and shows the scratches, which are still on the guitar. He tells the alien to just shove it, because Lila is the type of girl who keeps her word. He now realizes that who she was no longer matters, as it isn’t who she is today. Lila Cheney is the girl who he loves, and trusts.
The alien doesn’t want to leave without the guitar, as he promised the fan club, in honor of Lila, he would come back with it. He even begs Sam to give it to him. He doesn’t think so, and tells the alien to leave. He opens his transportation portal again, and disappointed leaves.
Sam admits to Lila that he realizes what a fool he has been. Lila also admits that she probably has been acting a little suspicious, but she is just used to having her space. She suggests that they just forgive each other. Sam agrees. He and Lila kiss, realizing they will get lucky tonight.
