—-Logan—-

I know something had happened I can smell the scent in the air from over a mile away. The air smells like gunpowder along with a burnt metallic scent like the odor lightning leaves when it strikes. I think of Ororo and speed up my motorcycle.

————————————————————

I arrive home and the scents are even stronger I can smell the hints of perspiration from too many men to count. There had been a fight here. 'And I missed all the fun' I think sarcastically. I step through the door and catch a whiff of a smell that had long faded from this place. Sam, it can't be, but the nose knows.

I observe the entry way there are scuff marks on the floor and a patched hole in the wall more evidence that something had happened while I was away. I go to the common room I know someone ought to be there. Someone's always there no matter the time of day.

I step in to find Gambit, Rogue, Piotr, Scott, and Ororo playing a round of cards. Ororo puts her cards on the table and comes over to me.

"Logan you're home!"

She leans down and plants a kiss on my cheek.

"Nice ta see ya 'Ro"

I turn to the rest of the group.

"Does anyone wanna tell me what the hell happened while I was gone?"

Scott answers.

"How di- never mind. The M.R.D attempted a raid."

"How'd you get em ta back off?"

"That's where it gets strange."

Scott explains what happened. Now knowing details like Sam's apparent use of magic and wielding of Mjölnir.

"So she just took off? Didn't say where she was goin' or how long she'll be gone?!"

"That's what Laura said, I don't recommend asking her that though."

I think for a second her use of magic, the hammer it all fits.

"Well ain't it obvious? She's in New Asgard!"

"Logan we don't know that."

Ororo interjects likely already knowing where this train of thought will lead me.

"Like hell we don't Ororo!"

The Boy Scout also feels the need to chime in.

"There's no evidence of-"

"Where else would she get that hammer Summers?!"

I turn to leave I'm going to suit up and take the Blackbird right now. Rogue speaks up.

"Logan don't go we can't just march on in there!"

"I go, where I wanna go."

I walk away. I hear her chair slide across the floor as she stands up to give chase.

"Ah let em go chère. If Wolverine does not find Sam he will come right back no?"

"I guess."

Rogue sounds defeated.

———————————————————————-

I get into the Blackbird and calibrate the computer -'flight time 10 hours'- I have no doubt I can make it in eight.

When I arrive in Tønsberg it isn't long before I catch Sam's scent. I follow the trail staying out of sight in a line of trees then I see her she's sitting outside with someone. I lean in for a better look. I hear them talking

"Did you see that?"

I move closer keeping myself hidden trying to get a better look.

"No...?"

"There's someone out there."

The figure moves and I get a better view of him. It's Loki. I knew it, he'd never reformed. He had S.H.I.E.L.D fooled but never me. The fucker has Sam here! I don't know why or what kind of spell he's got her under that made her go back to him. I get closer close enough to attack.

"I don't see anything Sa-"

I lunge at him.
