Summary

  Logan hates the memories of Dept. K, where he was given his adamantium (MCP 72-84). He enters and sees everything's been covered up; beneath the paint and hastily-poured concrete, he still smells the rotting blood. He goes down deeper, breaking through to the original lab, the door of which still has his claw marks. He busts through and finds skeletons of the scientists he killed there, the people who tortured him, burning away the man to isolate the "bad thing" he has inside him, to use him as a weapon. It worked, both times.

  He remembers being hung by a rope to a tree in the snow; Muramasa was done with him and ordered his samurai to dump him somewhere. The process he started would take years to complete, and if Logan's mind was still whole, he'd find him again. Logan passed out; when he woke, the samurai had been killed. Logan reached for a sword, but someone attacked him, knocking him out again.

  Logan knew the Silver Samurai wasn't lying to him (see last iss.), but now he has proof. He thought he escaped this place because his captors got careless; turns out, he had help.

  Stark gets a call on a long-disused line. Cap picks up; it's Logan, who wants to know where to find his friend. Cap is alarmed.

  Bucky stands in a Weapon X facility and pulls the alarm.
