As a superhero, Logan's ability to eat is as powerful as his ability to heal himself.

The little fat man Fuji came to Merlin as a guest, and in order to celebrate himself and Matt's early admission, he specially brought a lot of food from his deli and made a lot of dishes.

But in the end, most of it went into Logan's belly.

"The meal tasted good."

Wolverine rubbed his belly, leaned on the sofa very unimpressively, and reached out to pat the drunken little fat man on the shoulder, this guy full of wild atmosphere did not hesitate to praise:

"You're going to be a very good cook in the future, listen to me, boy, it's a lot more promising than being a lawyer or something."

"Well, that's what my mom said... Hiccup"

The little fat man leaned back on the sofa drunkenly, and he said to Logan with a smile:

"When she was a child, she said that I would either be a chef in the future or an alcoholic like my father. She's wrong! ”

"Look at me, I'm both a chef and an alcoholic now, hahaha, oh, I'm going to be a lawyer in the future, just like Matt's dream."

Fudge held out a finger and approached Logan, and he whispered as if he were confiding in his heart:

"Matt and I... We're going to be real lawyers, fighting lawsuits for the poor, there's no real lawyer here in Hell's Kitchen... It's a bunch of money-eyed bastards, and Matt and I will break this bad situation. ”

"Well, great ideals, the world needs people like you."

Logan patted Fudge on the shoulder, but he slammed the little fat man to the ground with too much force, but soon there was a low snoring sound.

"I sent him home and he drank too much."

Because there were outsiders, Matt pretended to fumble around the sofa, reached out to help Fuji up, he grabbed his guide cane, and said to the others:

"I'll be back in a moment."

"I'll go with you."

Raven stepped forward, holding Fuji's arm, using magic to keep the little fat man's body from falling, she changed into a black trench coat that was very similar to Merlin's, and the three children left the house, and Rocket and Groot, who were well fed and drunk, also went back to their rooms.

In the living room, only Merlin, Logan, Lorna, and Laura are left, as well as Gollum, and Frank, the stupid dog lying under the table and gnawing bones.

"Your house is really lively."

Logan said as he helped Merlin put the dishes into the kitchen sink:

"What's the origin of that guy who said his name over and over again? And his boisterous friends, I don't think they're normal people. ”

"Don't worry about them, they're guests."

Merlin said as he washed the dishes:

"The point is Laura, she's been watching you."

"Well, that kid is really sharp."

Logan took out a cigar and sniffed it under his nose, saying:

"That kind of look of always paying attention to the surroundings and being ready to fight at any time is the perception of a beast, and there can be no mistake. She still has claws, right? ”

"Her X gene comes from you, Logan, I made it clear on the phone."

Merlin put the plate under the faucet and, while rinsing, said:

"You have the abilities, she has them, those crazy people probably got inspiration from you, and infused that kid's arms and feet with Erdman alloy..."

"She was able to hold on."

Logan exclaimed:

"I know how painful it is."

"She's strong."

Merlin looked at Laura, who was sitting on the couch watching TV, and said:

"It's so strong that it's distressing, you don't know what kind of environment she grew up in, she's seen pain and sin that shouldn't have been seen at her age, but she didn't let those villains dictate her life, she didn't give up because of what happened to her, let herself fall into the darkness, she didn't. She's been fighting and she's been much stronger than most adults. ”

"So, what are you doing here?"

Merlin said to Logan, who was standing beside him:

"Go talk to her, don't put any pressure on her, treat her like your sister, uh, or daughter, don't worry, I won't entrust her to you, your life is in shambles."

"Are you going to adopt her? Are you sure? ”

Logan asked, and he explained seriously:

"You probably don't know what it's like to be around a child with the feeling of a beast, and trust me, it's not as easy as you think. Any disturbance could lead to a brutal bloodshed, especially since she was so young that it was difficult for her to control the wildness of her heart. ”

Merlin glanced at Logan and said:

"I really don't know, thanks for the reminder, but I've decided to do it."

"You might want to send Laura to Utopia."

Logan advised:

"It's better for mutant children to grow up, I've been there a few times, and it feels pretty good."

"Not bad?"

Merlin looked at Logan playfully, and said:

"If it really feels good, why don't you stay there? Still running around the world? You've actually noticed something, right? Your instinct is constantly urging you to get out of there. ”

"How do you know?"

Logan's eyes widened, and after a moment, he said to Merlin:

"The island is good, but as you said, every time I set foot on that land, I have an unwarranted wariness... There's something there, right? Judging by the way you look, you should know. ”

"No, I don't know."

Merlin said expressionlessly:

"Professor Charles and his students manage utopia very well, it's a paradise for mutants with nowhere to go, and the reason why you're not used to it is maybe because you're just a bastard who likes to kill, and you don't have the blessing to enjoy peace... But, how to say it? We should trust instinct once in a while. ”

"Okay, how long are you going to keep that kid waiting?"

Merlin urged impatiently:

"Don't talk to her like a child who shirks responsibility, I've never seen you do this on the battlefield."

"It's not the same as fighting, you bastard."

Logan glared at Merlin, he was sure that there was something in what Merlin had just said, but the agent wasn't going to say what he knew, and Logan couldn't force him.

On the one hand, the two of them are friends.

On the other hand, Merlin's magical power, the almost complete strength type of Wolverine, really wants to go to the step of forced persecution, Logan is not expected to lose, but it is also difficult for him to please.

The somewhat rude, overly wild guy left the kitchen, walked to the edge of the living room, and looked at Laura on the couch.

The little wolf girl is sitting on the sofa watching TV alone, she is watching very seriously, the kind that has no distractions.

Logan looked at the child, he hesitated and seemed to resist, but in the end, he walked towards Laura, and as he approached Laura, the little wolf girl turned her head sharply.

"Wow"

Two silver claws popped out of her fists and slanted in front of her, and she looked at Wolverine with a blank face, as if to warn Logan not to come any closer.

"That thing..."

Logan stood in place, holding out his hands to show that he had no ill intentions.

Pointing to Laura's fist, which was more light, and sharp claws, he said to the girl:

"I have it too."

As Laura watched, Logan clenched his left fist, and three recurved, thicker steel claw blades slowly bounced out from between the bones of his hand.

It doesn't feel good when the blade pierces the skin, but both of them have super self-healing factors, and after the blade returns to the bones of the hand, their torn skin will quickly heal.

"There's some connection between us, kid."

Logan waved the sharp steel claws in his hand, and he tried to make his expression look gentle, and he said to Laura, who was looking at him:

"So we have to talk. Can I get close? ”

Faced with Logan's question, the little wolf girl tilted her head and thought for a few seconds, she stared at Logan, and then looked back at Merlin who was washing dishes in the kitchen, and after a moment, the paw on her fist slowly retracted, which represented her answer.

Logan also retracted his steel claws, and he kept a slow pace and walked towards the couch.

He has beast perception himself, and he knows very well how to communicate with a strange beast perception owner, and the first important step is to never arouse their hostility.

Hostility fuels inner anger, and a trained adult may be able to control that wildfire-like anger, but a kid like Laura has a hard time doing so.

Even though she was trained, it was still difficult for her to control her instincts.

Instincts such as beast perception are obviously more lethal than the benefits it brings, and the vast majority of mutants with beast perception have a hard time surviving to adulthood...

That instinct brought them a perpetually scorching fire of anger that would not only burn their enemies, but also burn them to ashes with them.

"My name is Logan."

Logan sat across from Laura, and said to the little wolf girl who was sitting cross-legged on the couch and turned his gaze to the television:

"They all call me Wolverine, but I prefer people to call me Logan. It made me feel like I was a real human being, not a beast that would fight forever. ”

"What's your name, kid?"

Logan wanted to talk to Laura in this way, but Laura ignored him, and the cartoon on the TV in front of her seemed to be more than a hundred times more attractive than Logan's.

But in reality, Laura's attention has been on Logan.

She's not stupid.

Merlin had told her before that someone would talk to her, and she knew that she had been experimented on, and that the rude and wild man in front of her was the source of the X gene in her body.

In other words, Logan is Laura's mother.

"I know it's hard to have beast sense, you have to keep yourself from being swallowed up by the warnings of danger, but it needs an outlet for it."

Logan put his hands on his knees, and he said to Laura in a gentle tone, as if he had been a teacher in the mutant academy for a while:

"I chose to join the war, countless wars, I fought with guns, knives, and claws, and I could unleash the anger in my heart in the war. Laura, it took me a long, long time to learn to control that anger that never stops, and I want to teach you... This was the beginning of our friendship. ”

He reached out and touched Laura's arm, a gesture that caused the little wolf girl to jerk back, and she bared her teeth at Logan.

That couldn't be clearer.

Don't touch me!

But Logan ignored the warning, he continued to reach out, and before his eyes, Lola's posture as she sat cross-legged on the couch had changed.

The girl stared at the couch with her feet and her hands slightly lowered, like a wolf cub before a pounce, and with Logan's fingers approaching her, the fierce expression on her face and the cold light in her eyes were almost irrepressible.

It's like Logan trying to pet a wolf cub that is roaring at him.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Logan and the little wolf girl looked at each other, and he whispered:

"You can't hurt me, don't be afraid to hurt me, don't worry, don't close yourself off because you're afraid... It's important, Laura, you need friends. Friends are the ones who can make you suppress your murderous intent in order not to hurt them... It's like when you face Merlin. ”

"I want to be your friend too, Laura."

Logan's rough man was not suitable for that kind of warm and affectionate route, but at this time, at the back of the living room, under Merlin's silent gaze, Wolverine's cheeks did have a gentle expression.

Although the memories in this guy's brain are a mess, like paste, at least at this moment, he does act like a qualified brother, and even wants to be a qualified father.

Although, the results of this attempt were not very good.

Laura finally failed to control the beast's perception of the crazy warning inside, and the moment Logan's fingers touched her cheek, the little wolf girl let out a howl, and the four claws on her fists bounced out, and in less than a second, the blade pierced Logan's abdomen.

"Poof"

Blood was spilled everywhere, but it didn't fall on the surrounding furniture.

It was as if the blood was being manipulated by invisible gravity, suspended in the air drop by drop, completely ignoring gravity.

On the couch, Logan sat grinning, apparently in pain from being pierced through her abdomen, while Laura froze there, maintaining the movement of piercing Logan's torso, she seemed a little dazed, until Merlin appeared behind her.

Merlin stretched out his hand and put it on Laura's wrist, and he said to Laura:

"It's okay, take your time, Laura, he's not going to be hurt by you..."

Merlin looked at Logan while comforting the little wolf girl, and he said:

"She's just a child, and you should take it step by step, not in such a direct way."

"No, it's you who don't understand, Merlin."

As Laura's claws left Logan's abdomen, Wolverine's wounds began to heal quickly, and he said to Merlin while looking at the torn shirt in distress:

"This kid is a quick learner, a good learner, her claws should have pierced my heart just now, but she controlled it at the last minute."

Logan bowed his head and said to Laura, who was held in Merlin's arms:

"This proves that you are a kind child, and this proves that you have the ability to control anger... All you need is time, constant practice, and you have the best teacher you can have. ”

He stretched out his blood-stained hand and put it in front of the little wolf girl who was looking at him, and he said:

"So, little wolf, are we friends now?"
