.....

Wolverine, confined within a metal box, had already been brainwashed by Stryker using a specialized device, making him forget everything about his past and even his own name.

When Roger and Jean released Wolverine from the cage, he still had the brainwashing device on his head. He bared his teeth like a wild animal, snarling at the two who had freed him.

"Don't be afraid; we're not here to harm you."

Jean spoke softly to Wolverine, attempting to connect with his mind.

Roger moved to Wolverine's side, grasping both his arms, and said:

"Use your abilities to help him remember his identity. Don't worry, I've got him under control."

At this point in time, Wolverine had already been bonded with Adamantium by Stryker. However, under Roger's immense strength, Wolverine's abilities were rendered useless except for deploying his claws as a scare tactic.

He couldn't even move his arms.

Under Roger's restraint, Jean easily removed the brainwashing device from Wolverine's head and placed her hands on his temples.

After a while, Jean suddenly spoke:

"No, I can't do it."

"What's wrong?"

"His memories are completely shattered. I can't make him recall his past experiences or identity. The best I can do is help him remember his name, Logan."

Due to the prolonged brainwashing, Wolverine's memories were fragmented beyond recognition. Even if Charles were present, he wouldn't have been able to restore Wolverine's past memories.

All Jean could achieve was to help Wolverine remember his first and last name, Logan. This was the limit of her ability.

"Then let him remember his name."

Roger, still controlling Wolverine, urged Jean, "Do it quickly; we don't have much time."

"What?"

Jean froze in confusion when she suddenly heard Roger mention that time was running out, looking at him questioningly.

Roger replied:

"I can hear the sound of helicopters. It seems the military has been called in for reinforcements. We need to get him out of here before they arrive, or else... we'll be in for another big fight."

Outside the base, the sound of armed helicopters reached Roger's ears. He knew that this was Stryker's call for military support from his superiors.

Although Stryker had been secretly conducting research on mutants, undermining the fragile peace between humans and mutants, Roger and Jean had no evidence other than Wolverine's presence to prove his experiments.

Facing the military head-on didn't concern Roger, but it would complicate things for Jean and the rest of the X-Men.

Therefore, Roger decided it was best to take Wolverine and leave for now, planning to inform Charles about the situation later and let him handle it.

After all, this was a matter concerning mutants, not something that was directly Roger's responsibility.

Jean acted quickly, helping Wolverine recall his name in a matter of moments.

Soon, Jean's hands left Wolverine's head, and she nodded at Roger, saying:

"It's done."

"Good."
