Traveller's Story
Scene 4: (Upstate New York along the border of Canada)

"Well Wolvie, looks like you've been getting slack since the X-Men broke up. I don't think I've had it this easy fighting you since we first met," Sabertooth said, a grin on his face as he watched Wolverine's body heal from the latest wounds he had given him.

"Naw ugly, the fun's just getting started," Wolverine said, his eyes glaring up at Sabertooth. For some reason they always seemed to get in these fights. Maybe it was because they hated each other so much. Or maybe it was because it felt so normal and normal is what everyone was hoping for now. The world was being taken over by a dark force and no one could stop it. The X-Men had tried and lost their beloved Professor X in the battle.

Sensing that Sabertooth was in a daydream, Wolverine quickly got up and punched him hard and good. "How's that Sabertooth? Still think I'm getting slack."

"Lucky shot, that won't happen again. I can guarantee that," Sabertooth said standing up and getting ready to attack.

"Maybe some other time you two can fight out your raging male hormones, but today, I'm afraid, I need to take Wolverine away," Ororo, otherwise known as the X-Men Storm, said blasting a cold artic wind upon Sabertooth and grabbing Wolverine.

"Storm, you know I don't like traveling this way," Wolverine said looking at the ground far below him.

"It's just until we reach the train station," she said, a glint of laughter in her eyes. Wolverine just sneered and let her carry him along. A few minutes later they arrived at the train station. As Storm lightly set Wolverine on solid ground, the murmurs in the station grew louder.

"Looks like its still the same. Mutants still aren't excepted," Wolverine said, a tone of sadness in his voice, "So why did you come all the way up here and get me?"

"Jean sent out a call to all X-men. It seems Professor X is still alive," Storm said, a hint of suspicion in her voice.

"Professor X, alive!?" Wolverine said, his eyes showing the confusion in his mind, "I don't like the sound of it. We all saw him die Storm. We buried his body."

"I know, but Jean says its really him."

"Still, I don't like it. Not one bit." Wolverine said as they boarded the train that would take them back to the mansion they had left long ago
