Summary

  Somewhere in New York City, in the top office on a hi-rise building, a mystery man (most likely the head of the corporation that the hi-rise building encloses) is reminded by his secretary of "his four-o'clock appointment". The man is seen holding a pair of binoculars and a high-powered sniper rifle, which he uses to kill a jogger on the street. It is assumed that this jogger was this man's "four-o'clock appointment". He tells his secretary to start doing research on his next prospective client.

  Thursday at the X-Mansion, where Wolverine has a nightmare where all his friends were dead because of him. He wakes up from his nightmare, surrounded by his fellow X-Men who wants to help him, but Logan would only tell them he was fine. He heads out by himself for a drink, wondering to himself whether Apocalypse's brainwashing of him becoming his first horseman known as Death was resurfacing.

  A few hours later, Logan is seen exiting the bar, only to sense that he was being watched by someone on the roof of a building. The watcher, a platoon major leader, barks to his platoon to notify their boss that Logan had detected them. Their boss was the mysterious figure from the building, and he tells them to engage Wolverine. As the major starts giving the orders, Logan disappears, and a manhunt is on by the platoon for Logan's whereabouts. Logan, who had hid underneath a parked vehicle, slices the ankle of one of the soldiers and drags him under the car. The platoon opens fire on the car, which explodes. They think that Wolverine had died, but from behind, Logan attacks the platoon and begins to take down each soldier one by one. The platoon major informs his boss about Logan's elusiveness and tells him about Wolverine's capabilities. The boss tells the major he was sending in reinforcements: Blok, and two girls: A and T.

  Somewhere else in New York City, the two girls, A and T, were trying to gain entrance into a nightclub. They were beating up the owner, who had tried to get fresh with them, until the boss calls, and the girls leave for their assignment. Meanwhile, in an interlude, John, a family man, leaves for work, but upon starting his car, it explodes as his wife, Nanci, looks in horror.

  Back to the fight, as the platoon major tried to radio his men without success. Wolverine appears, and the major fires multiple rounds of ammunition into Wolverine. Wolverine falls over the ledge of the building. The major looks to see where Logan had fallen, only to have him dragged below onto the fire escape by Wolverine. The major pulls out a daggar to stab Wolverine in the collar bone, but Logan was unphased, his healing factor already repairing the wound. He demands to know who the major's boss was, preparing to pop his third claw through his skull. Wolverine, though, is suddenly pulled back, as he finds a lasso between his neck and in his presence three more adversaries: A, T, and Blok.
