The Second Uncanny Issue of X-Men! Making 'X2' Page #3

---

I need you to read my mind again.

- The results will be the same as before.

- We had a deal.

The mind is not a box that can be simply

unlocked. It's a beehive with a million...

Spare me the lecture.

I've no doubt your amnesia, your adamantium

skeleton, the claws are all connected, but...

Logan, sometimes the mind

needs to discover things for itself.

I promise you we'll talk again when I return.

If you would be kind enough

to watch over the children tonight.

Scott and I are going to visit an old friend.

I'm sending the coordinates

of where the mutant's settled.

As soon as you find him,

bring him back to the mansion.

- Let's hope he cooperates.

- Yes, for his sake. Good luck.

Stryker, William.

What are you doing in here?

Garbage.

These are the coordinates.

He's a teleporter. Must be why

the professor had trouble locating him.

We're not here to hurt you.

We just wanna talk.

- Are you bored yet?

- Oh, yeah.

Sure you don't wanna come down?

- You have him?

- He's not going anywhere.

Are you?

Please don't kill me.

I didn't mean to harm anyone.

Why would people

have gotten that impression?

- What's your name?

- Wagner. Kurt Wagner.

There was so much shooting, such fear.

And then there was only pain.

I could see it all happening,

but I couldn't stop myself.

It was like a bad dream.

Perhaps he is testing me.

And before you were in the White House,

what do you remember?

Nothing.

I was here.

- I'd rather get him back to the professor.

- The professor?

Did you do these yourself?

And what about this?

- I need you to read my mind again.

- The results will be the same as before.

- You'll be indestructible.

- No memory.

Sometimes the mind needs

to discover things for itself.

Wolverine.

No memory. You'll have no memory.

Can't sleep?

How can you tell?

Cos you're awake.

Right. How about you?

I don't sleep.

- Doesn't anybody sleep around here?

- Apparently not.

- Got any beer?

- This is a school.

- So that's a no?

- Yeah, that's a no.

- Is there anything other than chocolate milk?

- There's soda in that cupboard.

- Thanks.

- No problem.

I'll take him from here.

It's all right, Scott.

- Nice shades.

- Thanks.

Charles Xavier.

Have you come to rescue me?

Sorry, Eric, not today.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

The assassination attempt.

What do you know about it?

Nothing.

Only what I read in the papers.

You really shouldn't have to ask.

What's happened to you?

I've had frequent visits from William Stryker.

You remember him, don't you?

His son, Jason, was once

a student of yours, wasn't he?

Yes. Years ago.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to help him.

At least, not in the way his father wanted.
