Chapter 146: Logan is Free!
Chapter 146: Logan is Free!
Once Inside, Alexander met the X-Men and the senior students again. Most of them had turned out to become a faculty now.
"Thank you for teaching Jean for all these years." Charles walked in.
"Haha, it seems baldness has no treatment" Alexander joked and shook his hand.
"Well, they were already falling so I decided to get a new look. Please come with me to the office. All the teachers would want to know you." He suggested and Alexander followed. Leaving Jean behind to chat with her friends.
...
In the office.
"So, can she control her powers now?" Charles asked.
"Yes, she can. She can easily deal with mutants like the Apocalypse. Though I would not try to force her if someone more stronger appeared. Her powers are limitless and she can keep on practicing all she wants and it would still not be enough. Though I have taught her things that let her keep her mind in check. Now she can sleep even in a crowded room without looking into someone's mind." He explained.
Raven took a sigh of relief, "Thank god. I was worried about her."
"Well, you should worry more about how you are going to deal with your son." Alexander dropped the bomb as he relaxed in his seat."WHAT! WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" She loudly asked. Hank was also surprised by the revelation. He and Raven had been in a relationship for a while now.
"Yeah, I mean. You abandoned him when he was small. How are you going to explain to him about that?" Alexander said.
"Where is he?" She asked.
"In this very building. He's been living here for years now." Alexander hinted.
Hank caught the clue and exclaimed, "I knew it. Kurt is your son, Raven."
"What?" She felt shocked, happy, and scared as well. She had doubts that Kurt was her son but she never tried to confirm it and just kept on treating him nicely.
"Tell me if you need my help, you should be able to handle Kurt. I wish you luck. I'll go and talk to Max." Alexander left the room. He went straight to Max, who was helping some children learn how to control their powers.
"You have become a good teacher, Max. I can see respect for you in their eyes." Alexander praised.
"I just did what you told me to do. You haven't disappointed me either. What you have done would have taken us so many years to accomplish." Max replied.
"I just got you some of your rights. Which were long due." He shrugged. Alexander had forced the UN Human Rights Council to include all mutants in the same category as normal humans and grant them the same protection. Alexander had subtly changed history and science textbooks all around the world. Now kids learn a bit how the Mutants exist. But there was still a lot of hatred and discrimination present in the streets.
"Max, I wanted to tell you something."
"What is it?" He asked.
"You have a son and a daughter. Their names are Pietro Maximoff and Wanda Maximoff" he revealed.
Max's eyes widened in shock. He didn't know he had children. His blood out there somewhere. He had relations with many women in his life but he never got this news.
"W-Where are they?" He asked.
"Hydra had abducted them after their house got demolished from a mortar. They wanted to do experiments on them..." He was interrupted.
"What happened to them?"
"Easy, Max. I saved them before any harm could come to them. They are small. Your son has powers of Superspeed and but your daughter, she has a problem. When she was born, an Elder God Chthon's residual energies altered Wanda. Chthon is a god only in name, in reality, he's a demon. I'm afraid Wanda may have a very high talent in chaos magic, but the magic might also corrupt her. So we need to be careful."
"Where are they?" Max again asked.
"I'll take you to them." He said and opened the door. He took him to Phixheim without him even knowing.
Max saw 2 little children playing under a tree with legos. They were cutely giggling at small things. The two kids realized that someone was there so they turned their heads.
"Oh, it's Grandpaaaa" they ran up to Alexander for hugs.
"Pietro, Wanda. I told you I'll find your papa. Look, I found him." He introduced.
Wanda quietly looked at Max and asked, "Why you leave us, papa? You don't love us?"
Max's heart broke hearing that. "I am sorry, Wanda. I couldn't find you. But thanks to Mr. Universe..."
"You are my papa?" Little Pietro asked.
Max nodded. "Yes"
"Hug me, hug me" he jumped beside him. Max also quickly picked him up with sad eyes.
Soon after, the 3 bonded well. Alexander let him take his children to the Institute. He had already put protection on them. When Wanda would wake her magic he would teach her.
~Now only Logan is left.~ he thought.
...
Meanwhile, Logan went for a tour of the National war museum and was shocked to see big posters and sculptures of Alexander. He then found about his deeds and returned to the institute to have a talk.
Alexander invited the guy for a beer outside the castle.
"Do you know about my past? Why can't I remember anything?" Logan questioned.
"Because your memories are too brutal. You have an unconscious filter that stops your mind from accessing them. You lost many people, Logan. You've also killed many by your own hands. If you get your memories back then you'll go crazy." Alexander warned.
"But I still want them. Without them, I am an incomplete man." Wolverine argued.
"I can make it so that your emotions don't get affected by your memories. Your emotions will be deactivated for a while. Your memories will seem like you are watching a movie. Tell me, should I do this?" Alexander asked.
"Yes, do it." Logan agreed. Alexander kept his words and deactivated his emotions while unlocking his memories. Soon Wolverine saw his whole life. From young to old. How his mother committed suicide in front of him. How the love of his life married someone else. How he then accidentally killed her. All his past scars came to him. But he felt nothing.
"Do you remember everything now, Logan?" He asked.
"Yes, I do." Wolverine gave a short reply.
"Then let me tell you about another thing. There is someone behind all this. Someone who has been controlling your family's bloodline for centuries. He controlled your life, all the choices and mistakes you made were because of him. His name is Romulus. An immortal Wolf-like man. He's been on Earth from pre-historic times. He likes to control people." Alexander revealed.
"ACCIO Romulus" Alexander spoke. Soon an extremely tall wolf-like man appeared in front of him.
Romulus was surprised at first, then he realized he was summoned.
"Who are you?" He angrily asked.
"Your end." Alexander punched him in his guts and force fed him a potion. Romulus might be some Bigshot on Earth and was active throughout history due to his strength and immortality. But he was nothing when compared to the Universe as a scale. Even Endgame Thor could beat him.
"Logan, this is the guy. This is Romulus, I have taken away his healing powers. I will give you back your emotions now. Then tell me if you want revenge with your own hands or not." Alexander announced.
As soon as he gave him back the emotions, Wolverine clutched his head in pain, "AAAAAAA"
"Do you want to do it, Logan?" Alexander asked.
"Yes, I must finish what he has started." Logan boomed. He suddenly charged at Romulus with his claws out. Romulus was still shocked that his healing was gone.
"Why are you doing this to me, Sorcerer?" Romulus shouted.
||Romulus - Category 5

R*ape - 678,897
Slavery - 1,778,433
Blackmail - 9,578,532
Sin Percentage - 93%||
Alexander felt disgusted at the sin chart.
"You are a rabid dog, Romulus. And like every rabid dog, you must be put down." Alexander loudly stated.
Wolverine and Romulus fought for hours. Wolverine was able to inflict a lot of damage on his but it was still not enough for monsterous Romulus.
Wolverine was having trouble killing Romulus. It was normal, though. Romulus had thousands of years of fighting experience. So Alexander made Romulus trip so Wolverine could put his claws in his neck. As Romulus died, Alexander erased him from space and time.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAA..." Wolverine loudly shouted at the moon in anger and pain. There were some small tears in his eyes as he remembered his past family and friends.
Alexander secretly poured a calming draught in his mouth. When Wolverine was back to normal he looked around in confusion.
"Why hasn't anyone come here after hearing all the noise?" He asked.
"Don't worry, your fight happened in a mirror world. No damage was done to the outside." Alexander quickly brought them out of the mirror dimension.
"Thanks, General," Logan spoke.
"Haha, it's been so long since I heard someone call me that." Alexander laughed.
"It turns out, my whole life has been meaningless. I don't know what to do now." Wolverine thought out loudly.
"Son, you can think of it a bit differently too. For the first time since your birth, now you are finally free. You can do anything you want. Make a family, created some cute little pups. Settle down and enjoy little things in life." He advised.
"Hmm, enjoying little things. I might just do that." Wolverine said looking at the school.
Alexander was happy that he could fix the broken man, Logan. Logan didn't deserve all the bad things that happened with him.
...
Fact: The reason why Wanda and Pietro hated Tony Stark is because at the age of ten, while having dinner with her adopted family, a mortar shell hit their apartment building, killing Wanda's parents. The building started to crumble, trapping Wanda and Pietro inside as they hid under a bed.
A second shell then hit and landed three feet in front of them but did not go off; the twins were left trapped in the rubble, staring at the unexploded shell reading the name Stark Industries on it. For the next two days, Wanda and Pietro feared the shell would detonate before rescue efforts could free them.
But Alexander saved them very early in this world.
