Inside the facility, the maze of glass-walled hallways and sterile white rooms stretched before them.

"Okay, we need to find room 314," Logan said, his voice a low rumble. "Stay close."

Storm nodded, her eyes glowing faintly as she used her powers to fog up the cameras, making it harder for any cameras to pick them out. They moved through the labyrinth corridors with practiced efficiency, avoiding security cameras and narrowly dodging a few patrolling guards.

As they approached a junction, Logan heard the faintest sound of footsteps. He signaled for Storm to take cover, and they hid behind a large potted plant. Two more guards walked by, chatting casually. Logan waited until they were out of sight before motioning Storm to move forward.

Finally, they reached the door marked "314." Logan examined it carefully, noting the keypad next to it. With a quick swipe of his claws, he disabled the lock, and the door slid open with a soft hiss.

Inside, the room was filled with medical equipment and monitors. Eden lay on a bed, connected to various tubes and machines. The room was eerily silent, and Matt was nowhere to be seen.

"Logan, look," Storm said, her voice urgent.

Logan's gaze softened as he approached Eden. "We've got to get her out of here."

He gently disconnected Eden from the tubes, working quickly but carefully. As he did, Storm stood guard, her eyes scanning for any sign of the facility's staff returning.

Eden stirred slightly, her eyes fluttering open. "Logan... Storm?" she murmured, her voice weak.

"Hey petal, we're here. We're getting you out of here," Logan said, his voice reassuring as he helped her sit up.

Storm used her powers to create a fog that drifted down the halls around them, concealing their actions from any potential cameras or staff. "We need to move fast. The alarms might go off soon."

Logan lifted Eden into his arms, carrying her as she could barely walk. They moved quickly through the corridors, taking the same careful path they had used to avoid detection earlier. However, as they approached the exit, the facility's alarms began to blare, the lights flashing red.

"Damn it, we've been made," Logan growled.

Storm summoned a gust of wind to knock back the approaching guards, but more were converging on their position. Logan set Eden down gently against a wall, his claws extending with a metallic snikt.

"Stay here, darlin'. We'll handle this," Logan said, his eyes burning with fury.

The first wave of guards came at them, batons and stun guns at the ready. Logan charged forward, his claws slicing through their defenses with brutal efficiency. Storm called down bolts of lightning, electrifying the air and disarming the guards with precision strikes.
