“Thanks,” he said. “I have definitely been known to pack a punch. I have a really sophisticated healing factor too. Like you.” He scratched the side of his neck with his claws and shrugged his shoulders. “I’m definitely conspicuous like this though. It has its drawbacks.” He couldn’t fight like this in Sokovia. That would get them all caught. He couldn’t have that on his hands. He couldn’t take it.

Teddy hoped he wasn’t pissing Logan off. “Yeah. If that ever happens.” He smiled. “Would you play? I bet you’d be an awesome lineman.” 

...

“Yeah? Have you ever had to grow a limb back? Shit stings.” Logan flexed his hand to make his point. “Like I said, my main mutation is my healing factor, the claws are just there if that.” he shrugged his shoulders. 

“We’ll see. You have to be aware that when I hit, it hurts. So to see me come running towards someone, you know you’re gonna need ice or a chiropractor by the end of it.”

“I’m not suggesting torture, Logan. Christ.” They’d utilized such methods in the past, though not typically as the initial one. Scott understood the necessity of less savory practices in pursuit of the greater good, but it brought him no great joy. “He’s at the Mousehole?”

He nodded, acknowledging Logan’s concern. Logan was more pragmatic than he was credited to be, as Scott expected. He didn’t refuse. “She’s more qualified than some of the heroes older than she is on the Nomads,” he said. “And I worked with her extensively when she was a New Mutant. Dani trained her well for teamwork, you know that.”

Rolling his eyes, Scott laid a hand on Logan’s shoulder to keep him there. Should he truly wish to depart, he could easily do so, but Scott didn’t shy away from touch with Logan. He was a more visceral teammate. It was a more effective means of connecting. “You know I won’t do that,” he said. “But I know you’ll fight me every step. You wouldn’t be you if you didn’t.”

...

“Why? We’ve done it before.” Logan put bluntly. “Yes, down in the dungeon.” He confirmed. “As I said, we’re working on it. Hank will be able to tell you way more detail than I ever would. This is why I didn’t last long as a teacher.”

“I know that I know that, but she’s still Laura. My Laura. It took us a very long time to get to the point we’re at now.” 

He gave Scott’s hand a pat since he was the one making the move with touching him. It was better this way to wait for Scott to feel comfortable enough to be touched. “I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t fight you at every step along the way. I like to think that it makes you a better leader in the long term.” He couldn’t help but smirk.

Dinah was already finished with her warm up when Wolverine showed up in the training room. It caught her attention. It wasn’t like she had a lot of opportunity to observe the X-Men in the field. She’d see playback footage of Wolverine fighting but she didn’t really talk to him. She liked a man capable of beating ass of course so she didn’t feel the need to bolt out of there when he showed up.

“Logan right?” she asked him. “One of the X-Men bigshots.”

....

“I don’t know about bigshot but sure.” Logan finished wrapping his hands, it wasn’t for him, it was for the bag he was about to punch the daylights out of so he didn’t break yet another one. “Why you asking?” He didn’t need to look over to know who it was, the black canary from star city and one of Oliver’s Queens ex... girlfriends? wives? eh, he didn’t care for that detail.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUGH JACKMAN | October 12th 1968

Marc scrolled through the phone, looking for contacts, names, addresses texted to him. Information he’d need stored away. He didn’t have a cloning device to take the phone’s information, so he’d just have to take the phone itself. He scrolled into settings to turn off the password while Logan growled.

“The boss, the boss just– I don’t know. I just get paid, man, I just get paid. I take the names on the list. We get the kids, we get the names of who goes on what truck. I just meet them. Good money for me not to ask. Just to do what Boss says.” The man was practically whimpering, but he seemed to really not know. His heart was hammering out of fear, not lies. Marc could choke him out for not even asking. Didn’t care enough to ask. Just in it for cash.

Marc cut his eyes over to Wolverine. “Your lot know anything about this?”

///

Hearing those words just angered Logan further, he was holding back but if you looked close enough you would see the way his jaw would clench when he was trying to hold back on driving his claws into this guys guts.

“Taking them for what?” He asked calmly then suddenly had him slammed against the wall instead. “TAKING THEM FOR WHAT?!” Marc’s voice barely cut through the rage he was feeling. “Some kids are being snatched off the streets and experimented on. Some come back, but a lot of them don’t.” The claws pushed against the guy’s stomach but didn’t pierce the flesh.

Teddy laughed. “That’s easy,” he said while he took off his jacket and shirt. He wasn’t wearing his uniform that changed with him so he didn’t want to tear it up. His skin shifted before Logan’s eyes and Teddy took on what he thought was his ‘true form’. He grew to seven feet tall and got even wider and more muscled. Armored plates appeared on his upper shoulders and his fingers got longer and ended in sharp claws. Sharp spikes sprouted from his armored forearms and all of his skin got more durable. Massive batlike green wings came out of his shoulders and settled behind him. It all happened pretty fast and then he laughed. “Tada?” He said. “The wings were relatively new but I wasn’t the only one who had them on my planet. It used to just be big and green with the armored plates. So you know. Hulkling.” He’d never really bothered to change it.

He’d felt loss before. His mother’s. He didn’t want to contradict Logan though and make him feel weird so he didn’t. The chain hanging on his chest felt heavier against his skin but he ignored it. “You think I can convince people?”

...

Logan took a step back when Teddy started to transform and raised an eyebrow slightly at how tall and big this kid got. “Huh.” He nodded a little, not really giving away the fact that he was impressed. “Nice wings.” Logan tilted his head to get a better look at them. “I bet they can do some damage in battle.” 

“I don’t know, I don’t know you all that well do I? Just... be nice, figure out a decent time to propose and maybe watch for when it’s quieter?” He offered.

“We have him in custody?” Scott asked. He wasn’t informed of that. “At the Mousehole? What strategies are being used to question him?” The X-Men usually attempted to remain humane, but some people didn’t respond well to kindness. There were other methods with which some of the team was equipped. “Have you asked Jean?” It was inordinately difficult to hide from a telepath, especially they knew what they sought and how to seek it.

“It will come to fruition. I’ve spoken to Captain Rogers about his teammates. The two Black Widows, Winter Soldier, Hawkeye. They’re well-suited. I want to ask Robin, as well. Per my understanding of his files, he has the training required. For us, I want Rahne, you, Jean, myself…” He paused to look directly at Logan. “And Laura.” Logan was not typically a loving man, but his clone had quickly became his daughter. He was protective. Scott felt the same about the younger Wolverine, but he wouldn’t attempt to supersede Logan’s authority. She was an adult, but he would prefer to do this with Logan’s blessing before picking a war with one of his dearest friends.

“This would be one of our first missions, after the proper team-building protocols are in place. We need to ensure they don’t try again.”

..

“Not many, they want the guy to talk, not scream the place down, Slim.” Logan shook his head. “Just have to make sure he can’t do anything to himself while we hold him.” At the mention of Jean he shook his head. “No, not yet. I think we’re saving that till we’ve exhausted everything else. You know how much of a toil that telepathy can have on someone.” 

At the mention of him wanting Laura on this team, he couldn’t help but bristle ever so slightly but he had to remember that Laura had to make her own decisions now that she was an adult. Logan had done the best he could while she was a teen but he had never controlled the decisions she needed to make for herself. “Hm, I’m not exactly thrilled at the idea of putting her directly in danger but I have always said that two Wolverines are better than one on a team.” Twice as deadly. 

“Call me when the team building exercises are over.”

Scott was silent, processing that. “What are the next steps?” A plan was surely in place. If not, he wanted that oversight dealt with. He’d do it himself. This was proof that the ISA was just as twisted as he suspected. “I’ve been considering proposing an iteration of X-Force within the Nomads. There are too many underutilized people suited for black ops there. And this sounds like the kind of thing we should be prioritizing.” They had to be harvesting this DNA somehow to have something to clone. “Who are they cloning?”

“I’m sure she misses you. There’s been a lot going on in Genosha. You know she’s the best at the political aspect of our lives.” Ororo came from royalty. It was in her nature, but could be consuming.

...

“We continue to press him for answers and information, but he’s being a stubborn sonofabitch.” Logan grumbled. “We can’t just let him go now, he’ll go straight to his boss and lead them here which isn’t what we need right now.”

 At the mention of the X-Force, his eyebrows raised. “Finally, something worth my time. If it does come into fruition, count me in.” It meant that Logan could actually use his violent tenancies. 

“From what we found, which wasn’t much, they are trying to clone us. We found a body, a clone of Sunspot.” Logan sighed at the memory. “Somehow, they must have been at a party or some type of event the kid was at too and took a sample of his DNA. All you need is a hair or some saliva anyway. Even then, they’re only partial clones because you need blood for success. Look at Laura, look at Gabby. The kid never would’ve lasted long anyway and have been in agony from the moment of his birth.”

Alright. So he was good cop now. Marc held out his hand to take the phone from Wolverine. Those claws didn’t exactly come from nowhere. The smuggler was taking shallow breaths, eyes wide, adrenaline clearly pumping hard. But he didn’t look like he’d run. He knew he was backed into a corner. Between a glowing white suited mummy and a guy with knife hands.

He stammered, clammy hands pressing against brick, “I don’t have them– I’m not the one in charge. I just meet the truck. Just the truck.” 

Marc grunted at that, narrowing his eyes. “Meet it where. When.”

...

Logan put the phone into Marc’s gloved hand, but not before unlocking it with the guys face, when was next time they’d have hold of him after all. 

“Answer him.” He threatened with his claws. “Who’s taking the children and what are they doing with them?” Logan had a feeling in the pit of his stomach but hoped it wasn’t that.

“I wish I could keep my problems down here,” he joked. “If you ever want to switch let me know.” He just wanted to be a mutant. He went years thinking he was one until the Super Skrull showed up. He didn’t like thinking about that time. It made him remember his mom and that slowed him down. He was the strong one and there wasn’t time to get caught up in sadness, especially when Billy would be needing his support with all this new stuff with Wanda.

“I get that. The Young Avengers feel that way too. Damian Wayne’s our unofficial member and even he feels like a weird cousin we all love.” He copied Logan’s shrugged without thinking. “We’ve been fortunate I guess. We haven’t lost any team members yet. We disbanded after an incident with the ISA and we had a few close calls before that but nothing stuck.” X-Men died. They came back from it it seemed like but Logan knew what it was like to actually mourn a friend. Teddy was appropriately respectful of that experience. “I know how bad losing someone hurts. I get the concern. I really do.”

..

“Hm, I think I’m ok keeping my feet down on earth, but thanks.” Logan was no longer surprised that aliens were a thing now, he just didn’t except them to look so human after the battle of New York, he had expected them all to look like that. Ugly bastards. “What do you look like green?” He had to ask.

He raised an eyebrow slightly then just looked around the grounds. “Hope you never do have to feel that loss.” Then he gestured. “This area is fine to set up a game, you just need to convince people to take some hours out of their lives to play.”

“Taking kids through Sokovia, he knows where they keep them, and who the buyers are.” Marc slid his eyes over slowly, not letting the criminal’s face out of his sight entirely. He was just as likely to throw himself onto the blade if he was too intimidated to get out of talking. That… always turned Marc’s stomach. At least his throat wound had closed up. He didn’t want to find out what vomiting with an open trachea might be like.

“Get his phone. It’ll have contacts if he decides he doesn’t want to have a conversation.”

...

As soon as he said kids, Logan’s entire stance changed and if you looked close enough, you would see his claws starting to dig into the flesh. He did take them away after a few moments to snatch the phone out of the guys pocket. “Speak” Logan threatened the claws again but stood a bit away this time because he seemed the type to throw himself on the claws to get out of answering anything.

“Have the X-Men gone to space much?” He didn’t know about their real adventures. Only the fake ones. “If I could have it my way I’d be staying on earth too. But I can’t have it my way.” He shrugged and laughed a little. That was just how it goes.

“Both of them I guess. My boyfriend picked the name. He saw me for the first time and was like ‘you’re like a mini Hulk’. It stuck.”

Teddy was so tired of people telling them they were too young for things. “Are you not… part of that team anymore?” He asked. Wasn’t he still an X-Men? “Also I’m almost old enough to drink in the US. I’m not that young anymore.”

...

“Once or twice, it was mostly to speak to the justice league and work with them up in the Watchtower.” He gestured up to the sky. “I know Kitty has had way more adventures up there than the rest of us have. We’ve got more problems down here to resolve before we start thinking about going up there.” 

“The X-Men are supposed to be disbanded but I know plenty of people here who will disagree with that sentiment. I suppose it’s because we’re all so close like a family.” Logan shrugged. “I wasn’t talking about you being too young. It’s just.. I’ve seen a lot of young people get into this gig and not making it out on the other side, that’s all.”

Laura kept her lips sealed tight – her father and brother were more similar than either of them would care to admit, but she supposed it was a good thing that one could see the image of their loved one carrying on through their offspring. Sometimes, she looked in the mirror and considered the few traits she had inherited from her mother – whether that was celebrated or mourned, it depended on her mood.

“Don’t predict too much. We’re set to go to Sokovia first either way.” She drank the last of her coffee before starting to pack up. “Feeling replenished? We should get going, I can’t wait to see those noble friends of yours again.”

...

“Ugh, back at it.” He got to his feet with a groan. “I’m supposed to be recovering there from coming back from the dead but I can’t seem to keep still.” Logan threw the last of his coffee away then started to help her pack up. “If we could drive my bike all the way there, that’ll be grand.” Sadly, he was stuck with a flight instead.

“It’s always the same. A thousand mad scientists these days. Maybe we should look at grad schools and see what they’re doing in those places,” she parried back before her smile softened a little. “I know. I have yours too.” That was, after all, how they worked. The subject of Scott rose between them and she dipped her head a little. “As well as we can. He’ll always be important to me.”

...

Logan couldn’t help but laugh at that. “That’s a good place to start actually and tell them to give up on whatever it is that they’re doing.” He shook his head some. “I swear, they get worse and worse the longer I’m around for. What next? A fully powered AI?” He had no idea about Ultron, or Vision as he had been dead during all that. “It can’t be easy though because the pair of you were so close and such a good couple.”

It did not go unnoticed when Logan sidestepped his question, however rhetorical it might be. It was likely Logan understood his line of thinking without a necessity of vocalizing it. “A smaller version of a Sentinel? Did you requisition the parts? What guy?” He was lost and on the verge of self deprecation. It was his responsibility to bring himself up to speed on the goings-on in the Nomads. Scott had not offered a small amount of attention to the reports in the database, but he could only look at a screen for so long. “I’m going to need some more context for all of this.”

“It’s good to be here,” he agreed. “Clearly, I’m out of touch.”

He was unsurprised when Logan asked about Storm. “Last I heard, she was working in Genosha. We’ve been in sparse contact since I left, unfortunately. I suspect we’re both busy. Have you seen her or spoken to her?” 

...

“There’s an ISA agent down in the dungeon with one hand.” Logan told him. “We went out to Nevada to follow a lead on clones and happened to run into this guy who wanted to kill us.” He had never been a very good story teller so kept it to the point. “Anyway, yeah... we think it’s a small prototype of what they’re intending on doing.” 

He shook his head. “Sadly not, I know she knows I’m alive though because she called me a few weeks later but since then there hasn’t been much contact.” He did miss her a lot though and that was clear in his tone.

Rahne smiled faintly in return at the confession and nodded a little. “I think you did really well considering then. An’ I know she would probably agree so I don’t feel as bad sayin’ so when she’s not here,” she said softly. “She’s good. Better than she thinks she is. All of them are.” Her voice was quiet, melancholy, as she thought of her friends, scattered around the world rather than here with her.

...

Logan gave her a small smile in return then reached out to touch her arm. “I’ll leave you to it now. Just return the hoodie whenever you can.” He gestured back to the castle then started to head back, cigar in mouth and taking long puffs on it before vanishing through the doors.

“Yeah we would need to do an integrated team. I’m more of a football guy anyways and I think we could make it work.” He knew he’d been talking too much but it wasn’t every day he got to meet his heroes. It was more often than most people for sure but not every day. He was sure that was about to change though because most of his heroes lived in this castle now.

He cut a man’s hand off? Teddy’s mouth fell open for a second before he remembered not to gape at Logan. He had to play it more cool than that. “Was it for a mission?” He asked. He was sure it was but he wanted to know more if Logan would tell him. “I’ve had to do some kind of crazy things before too. I have this sword called Excelsior which told me I’m basically like King Arthur of space. Blades are tricky though. I haven’t ever really been that guy.” He was more of a puncher than a slasher even if his talons were sharp enough should he want to try it.

His face fell a little. “All of my family’s dead,” he explained. “I guess it just part of it sometimes right? Tragic backstory or whatever. Who did you think I might be related to out of curiosity?”

“Hey man we weren’t that much younger than some of the OG5. We were definitely older than Iceman when he joined up. It all just kind of happened. But yeah. They call me Hulkling because I’m the big green strong one. It’s probably on the nose but it works.”

“It was for a mission, yes.” He didn’t go into any more detail because Logan didn’t want to so he left Teddy to wonder about it instead. “That.... is some crazy shit, kid.” He nodded a little. “Space and I wouldn’t get along, I like my feet on earth thank you very much.” Logan shuddered a bit at the thought of being in space, what the fuck.

“Ah.” he shrugged. “Well, you said Hulkling so I figured either Hulk or She-Hulk.” Logan wasn’t sure if Bruce or Jen wanted their names out there or if this kid knew their names like he seemed to know his. 

“And I was a part of that team and the school for a while. I’m never gonna agree with young people wanting to be superheroes. It’s just my own opinion on it.”
