The next morning, a loud knock on the door woke Megan up.

"Wake up kid!" Logan shouted on the other side.

She immediately jumped out of the bed and started dressing up in a hurry. Logan knocked the door again.

"I am coming, " Megan shouted, but Logan knocked once again.
"Stop knocking like a maniac, I said I'm coming," she quickly tied her hair in a high ponytail in a desperate attempt to hide how messed up she looked.
"I hope you are not here to talk about last night, I need coffee first!" She said while opening the door.
"I'm not, the Professor wants to see us in the lab right now, let's go." He said and immediately moved away.

It took her a couple of seconds to realise what Logan had just said.

"Wait, what? Both of us? What happened?" She asked surprised while running behind him.
"Yes, both of us and I don't know, you tell me?"
"Why would I know?" She fired back almost offended.
"If you don't know, then I guess we are going to find out."

"Good morning Miss Wild, Logan." The professor greeted them when they entered the room.
"Hello Megan, please come in." Storm said.
"Is everything alright?" she asked while standing in front of them.

Logan, on the other hand, walked over to the back of the room and sat on the desk that was there.

"Miss Wild we have some questions that we would like to ask you," the Professor started.
"Is there something wrong?" She asked again, her anxiety evident on her face.
"I don't think there is any reason to worry. Have you ever heard of Adamantium?"

At the sound of Adamantium Logan stood up from the desk and looked at Megan with such intensity that she felt her blood freeze inside her veins.

"A.. Ad..Adamantium? " She stuttered under the pressure. "No never heard of it."

She looked back at him hoping that this would calm him down, but it was clear that Logan was getting angrier with every passing second.

"Adamantium is a very dense, artificial, iron-based alloy that is virtually indestructible," the Professor explained. "Rare and expensive to create and manipulate, it is why it is a top secret in the US government," he paused and looked at Logan.

It was clear that Logan was at his limit, almost ready to burst with rage, which made the Professor wonder if having him in the room for this conversation was a good idea.

"Doesn't ring any bells, I'm sorry. But what do I have to do with that?"

This whole situation was creating more confusion than anything else in her mind. But what was bothering her the most was the fact that she couldn't understand why this Adamantium thing was such a big deal to Logan.

"I ran the test we talked about yesterday. The results revealed that your daggers are made of Adamantium." Storm finally explained.
"Where did you find those blades kido?" Logan roared from the other side of the room while walking towards Megan.

Terrified Megan took a step back, she had figured that Logan wasn't the sweet type of guy, but she never thought that she could do something that would infuriate him like that. After all three days ago they didn't even know each other.

"Logan Stop it!" Storm yelled at him and put herself in his way.
"Don't worry he won't hurt you." The Professor tried to reassure Megan when he saw the panic in her eyes.
"There is a reasonable explanation for Logan's reaction.A long time ago, a man called Stryker performed an experiment on him and bonded Adamantium to his skeleton. "

Megan emotions immediately turned from fear to compassion.

"My God, why would anybody do something like that? "
"Really, you want us to believe that you don't know nothing?" Logan yelled at her again, before she had the chance to feel more sorry for him.
