Past Discretions Wolverine and The X-Men

HELICOPTER HOVERS

Argh!

Daddy?

No!

-It's all right. I'm here with you.

-Charles?

What have I done?

HE GROWLS

Grrrr! Arrgghh!

Wait. Take me back in, Charles.

I gotta see it all.

You've seen all I can show you.

But...that man...that little girl...

Are a mystery to us both.

We're working with memory fragments, Logan.

Finding what they connect to will take time.

How much time?

I understand your impatience, I do.

But your missing past is...

It's...a quagmire.

If you step in, there's no telling how deeply it will pull you.

So you're saying I shouldn't even try?

I'm saying right now you are the leader of the X-Men.

Your focus must be on the present

and...on the future.

But I have to know what I did.

And you will in due time, but until we learn all of the facts

it'd be foolish to go chasing after this.

Yeah.

I'll see you, Charles.

Until next time, Logan.

CASKET BEEPS

SEAGULLS CAW

Frost.

Yes?

Didn't think it was possible to sneak up on a telepath.

I was just...I mean... What is it you want, Logan?

I got something on my mind I need to make sense of.

I could use your help.

I see. Hmm.

What?

The professor has already stirred those memories.

-Does that mean he couldn't...

-Wouldn't.

Well then, by all means. Let's get started.

SIRENS BLARE

Honestly, Domino. This is all harder than I thought it would be.

What - the constant running from the law?

The feeling you've betrayed your friends?

The sight of Blob in his... spring collection?

HE SNORES

THEY GIGGLE

Does she really look like someone we can trust? Your turn.

HEAVY THUDDING

I was going to put in some target practice on the roof. Wanna come?

Nah, you go ahead.

If I ever need to shot a bottle cap from a mile away,

I'll just steal your powers. Phew! Phew!

Cheater.

I have earned your respect, Father. I've proven myself over and over.

But what you're asking me to do now is nearly impossible.

So you're saying you can't do it.

No, I'm not saying that. Of course we can do it.

But after we pull it off, I expect to be welcomed back to Genosha.

One step at a time, Pietro.

Relax. Don't think about anything.

Just let me take over.

Argh!

GIRL SCREAMS

SHE GASPS

HE BREATHES HEAVILY

I can see why you're haunted by this.

So can you piece it together for me?

The memories you want are likely still there,

but the connections between them have been severed.

OK, so how do I put them back?

I could only suggest returning to that place - the cabin.

That's the problem here, Frost. I have no idea where that cabin is.

From what I observed, it was at the base of two mountains.

Oh, Little Women! I love this book.

OK, I need more titles in the L category.

Bobby?

Hmm?

Where are the Ls?

Sitting on them. Here, have a Q.

Eh!

Ow!

I'm bored. I mean this is so dial-up.

-All this stuff is online.

-Au contraire, Mr Drake.

Only a small fraction of literary properties have been digitised.

Besides, who doesn't love the feeling of a book in their hands?

Aah!

Ahh. Let's see, Logan. We'll want Geological Formations.

Oh! And Outdoor Photography.

Ooh!

The Land Surveyor's Almanac.

This one's a true classic. Mmm.

OK. Let's start with "twin mountains", enter.

Hold it! That's it! Third from the left.

Twin Summit Peaks. Up near the Canadian border.

Hmm. Reproduced from... A-ha! I do have this book!

ENGINE ROARS

Dr Cornelius? We have a situation.

-Yes?

-Weapon X has been sighted in Zone 53.

-The Nord property.

-We've always known this might happen.

-Wolverine needs to be eliminated, now! Before he...

-No!

He represents a substantial investment.

We're not through with him yet.

Then we should have brought him in a long time ago.

As you're aware, he's too dangerous to hold

and too valuable to destroy.

But if he remembers who we are and where we are,

not to mention what we did to him...!

Doctor. Let's first determine just how much he knows.

Bring in...Sabretooth.

-Er...

-Hi, Bobby.

-Is Logan here?

-I'll take care of this, Bobby.

Go finish helping Kitty in the library.

Hello, Rogue.

I must say, I'm surprised to see you here.

I really need to speak with Logan.

Well, he's, er...

He took off, didn't he? Would say why, wouldn't say when he'd be back?

Am I close?

I'm afraid you've lost the privilege of knowing his whereabouts, Rogue.

-Now, is there something

-I

-can do for you?

Know what? Never mind.

I can pass a message on to him?

Don't bother. And do yourself a favour, Hank?

Don't trust him.

HELICOPTER WHIRRS

Your target is a man named Christopher Nord.

Mutant. Kinetic energy, absorption and redirection.

-What's that mean?

-It means, drop him. Fast.

Or he'll drop you.

The guy's a regular maverick.

Where are you going, Daddy?

Just be a minute, sweetie. Get to bed.

Nord has a daughter.

'Yeah. We knew.

'Let's see - Christy, age six. She likes horses.'

-Why wasn't I told about her?

-'Cos she's not the target.

'He is. Now move!'

HORSE APPROACHES

You!

Urrgh!

I've waited a long time for this.

GRUNTS

Why?

I don't know.

You don't know?!

Ahhh!

I was six years old when you took my father.

I need to know why.

I did come after your father.

But that's all I remember.

They wiped my memory.

I'm here to find answers, too.

PYOING!

CRASH!

Just couldn't leave well enough alone, could you?

I've been waiting for this day.

Yeah? How long?

What's the matter? You don't remember?

-Weapon X?

-What did you...?

'I gave you a mission, Weapon X.'

Are you out of your mind?

Wait! It's not what you think!

Stay away from me and my family.

Do you understand?

Nothing would make me happier.

Aaaah!

Like I said. A regular maverick.

No!

You did this! Why?

Because you didn't have the guts to.

I had to clean up your mess.

You're still too soft, Weapon X.

We'll correct that when we get back.

Daddy?

Nord!

You betrayed me!

You cared more about that girl and her daddy than your own partner.

Partner?! Who did we work for?

Huh! The fact that you don't know is all that's kept you alive.

-Aaah!

-Who are they?

Doesn't matter now.

Cos this is between you and me.

BUZZING

Aaaaargh!

-Oh. Good morning.

-Mornin'.

-So you found what you were looking for?

-Some of it.

Hey. Frost?

Thanks.

The pleasure's all mine. Perhaps next time you'll come to me first.

Charles isn't the only one who can help you, you know.

Heh, yeah. I'll keep that in mind.

Logan! Welcome back.

Good to be back.

You should probably know - Rogue was here.

She wanted to talk to you and was quite upset to learn you had left.

Huh. Piece of advice about that girl, Hank.

-Don't trust her.

-Funny.

She said the same thing about you.

Wolverine doesn't remember much - but he's starting to.

He will need to be dealt with.

I'll expect your full report within the hour.

Yeah. I'll get right on that.

Hey, Maverick.

Quite a daughter you got there.

She's definitely someone we'll wanna look at.

Daughter?
