01x14 - Stolen Lives

[bunniefuu]

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

(GRUNTS)

Yeah?

WOMAN: Christy
Nord is in danger.

Who is this?

CHRISTY: It's good
to hear your voice.

Yeah, yours too, kid. Listen,

I want you to lay low for a
couple of hours. I'm coming up.

Why? What's wrong?

Don't know yet.

Just want to check things out.

All right, but you should
know as well as anyone

I can look out for myself.

(SCOFFS) Yeah, don't remind me.

I'll see you in a bit.

No.

(TWIG SNAPS)

(GROWLS)

(GRUNTS)

I told you she was in danger.

(WHIMPERS)

(GROWLS)

(GRUNTS)

(GROWLS)

Where's Christy?

I don't have her.

Who does?

It's pretty obvious, isn't it?

That's a Weapon X chopper.

What do you know about them?

Only that they're
in the business

of turning mutants into weapons.

And?

That's enough to be
of concern to Magneto.

If you're working for him,

what are you doing calling me?

Because if anyone
can get her back,

it's you.

You're right. I'll handle it.

How are you gonna track them?

They took her by air.

Their craft left a
thermal signature.

That's all I need.

If they follow protocol,
they'll land at a safe house.

Once they leave it,
you'll never find them.

Then you better tell me
where the safe house is.

Not unless I come with you.

The last thing I need is help
from one of Magneto's spies.

The longer you wait, the
less chance you'll have

of getting to Christy in time.

(SIGHS)

Get in.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

We have a craft
on fast approach.

Take care of it.

(BEEPING) They're arming.

Hang on.

(SCREAMING)

Can you pilot?

Of course. Good.
Pick me up later.

Where are you going?

I need some air.

Nord! You're alive!

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

Look, you don't know
what you're doing.

You're under their control!

(GRUNTS)

The person you abducted,

the girl in that tank there,

she's your daughter!

(GROANS)

Try to remember.

You left behind a little girl.

(SCREAMING)

I was there.

(GRUNTS)

Her name is Christy.

And because of Weapon X,

she grew up without a father.

(GROWLS)

(SCREAMING)

(GASPS)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMS)

(GROANING)

(GRUNTS WEAKLY)

Oh!

(GRUNTING) It's okay, it's okay.

The table broke my fall.

(GROANING)

(WHOOSHING)

(expl*si*n)

What is your report?

I told you this would happen.

Wolverine is
still after the girl.

What about the
fall from the plane?

It won't even slow him down.

Professor, if he shows
up at the safe house...

Then that's as far as he'll get.

Relax, Doctor. I'll
be there shortly.

And remember,
this will all be worth it

once the girl has
been assimilated.

(SNIFFING)

(GROWLS)

(BEEPS)

Hey, bub. How about we
finish that conversation?

(GROWLS)

(g*n c*ck)

(ROARS)

(MUFFLED GROAN)

(SCREAMS)

(SCREAMS)

You could've waited for me.

You could've caught me when
I was falling out of the plane.

Let's make this interesting.

(GRUNTS)

(BOTH GRUNT)

Where's the Blackbird?

In an abandoned lot a
half klick south of here.

But you don't know
where they're going.

I still gotta try.

Wait.

I know their destination.

And you didn't tell me this why?

If I did, would you
have taken me with you?

No.

Look, you're trying
to save Christy,

but I have my own orders.

Magneto wants
these people stopped.

How do you know so
much about Weapon X?

Because I was one of them.

Were you followed?

No.

But you'll want to see this.

He's got a partner.

Raven Darkholme. Hmm.

I knew she'd resurface some day.

Yes, but now, and
with Wolverine?

This is a disaster!

Dr. Cornelius,

you simply cannot allow
her to lead him to this facility.

They're in the wind.
I can't find them.

Then we have but one option...

Evacuate.

MYSTIQUE: We were a
black ops unit called Team X.

We did things,

things I thought were right.

But they weren't.

Did I know you?

(SOFTLY) Yes.

When did it go bad?

When the professor wanted more.

He brought in a scientist
named Cornelius.

He developed ways to enhance us,

sometimes genetically,

sometimes surgically.

What did they do to you?

Nothing. I got away.

But only because the man I loved

gave his life to get me out.

This all has nothing to
do with Magneto, does it?

No, it's personal.

(BEEPING)

(GROWLS)

(GASPS)

(GROWLS)

Far as you go, runt.

I'll deal with this chump.

You go look for Christy.

(SNARLING)

(ROARING)

(GROANS)

(BOTH GROWLING)

Don't wait for me!
Go! I'll find you!

(PANTING)

(BEEPS)

(BEEPING)

COMPUTER VOICE:
Warning, contagion detected.

System overload in 10 minutes.

Don't move.

This location has
been compromised.

We are moving you.

Do you understand?

(GRUNTS) Nothing's changed.

(GROWLS)

You're still soft!

Ain't really your fault, though.

I blame Mystique.

You and I were unstoppable
until she joined the team.

(BEEPING)

(GRUNTS) What?

No!

Come on, traitor.

(GRUNTS)

Hello, Wolverine. Welcome home.

Get to the transport, Sabretooth.
I'll deal with our wayward agent.

What about Raven?

She's already been apprehended.

COMPUTER VOICE: System
overload in five minutes.

(g*n c*ck)

Not so fast.

(ALARM SOUNDING)

(EXCLAIMING)

I told you to go on without me.

And look how
well that turned out.

(BEEPING)

(RESPIRATOR HISSING)

(GENTLY) Logan, we have to go.

In four minutes, this place
will be a crater in the ground.

We must hurry.

(GROANS)

COMPUTER VOICE: System
overload in two minutes.

Get her out of the building.

No, X-23, this isn't the time.

What?

What have you done?

I've merely ensured
your legacy, Wolverine.

(GRUNTING)

COMPUTER VOICE:
System overload in 30 seconds.

The answers are still
frustratingly out of reach,

aren't they, James?

WOMAN: James!

(GROWLING)

COMPUTER VOICE:
System overload in 15 seconds.

(SCREAMS)

(GASPS)

COMPUTER VOICE:
System overload in 10 seconds.

Daddy?

I'm sorry. We
aren't gonna make it.

COMPUTER VOICE: Five, four,

three, two,

one.

(GASPING WEAKLY)

Did you know he was alive?

Not until today.

Christy, he's not the
same man you remember.

He won't know you.

Isn't there anything
we can do for him?

I don't know,

but we'll try.

James!

The opportunity of a lifetime,

and you run from it?

Creed, this is wrong.

You can't force this on people.

Yes, I can!

(GROWLING)

Don't wait for me!

I'll find you! Go!

Go!

Raven...

Don't.

Why didn't you tell me?

Because the man who saved me,

the man who sacrificed
himself so I could get away,

he's gone.

(CRYING) They took him.

And who was that man?

Tell me.

Please.

I have to know.

It doesn't matter.

You can never be him again.

I'm afraid his memory is

much like yours, Logan.

No!

It'll be okay, kid.

Fortunately, it's not
all dreadful news.

I was successful in recovering

some faint memories
of you, Christy.

Christy?

Daddy?
