New York (X-Men and The Brotherhood V) Part 5

If I remember correctly at the time when the Captain fought against the Hydra forces in the war, he was part of a squad that was made up of the best in the army and one of its members was James Howlett, now known as Logan.

That squad was called:

Howling Commandos.

After being surprised by the captain's question, Professor Xavier who recovers asks:

"What do you mean Captain?"

Seeing the surprise on everyone's face, the Captain puts his hand in his right pocket, takes out an old photograph and shows them saying:

"It's just that the friend here looks too much like a friend of mine from my time in the army"

They all looked at the photograph only to be surprised that, in fact, the man in the photo did look like Logan.

"So, you were already a big boy at that time" Cyclops says jokingly.

"Really, how old are you, Logan?" asks a curious Kitty.

Logan who sees the photo just says:

"So, there's still more I can learn from myself"

The Captain was confused, Ororo who realizes his confusion explains Logan's mutant ability and his circumstances.

"I see, it's you James... you just don't remember" says the Captain sadly.

Putting a hand on the Captain's shoulder, I say:

"But you know a little about his life, why don't you tell him?"

When I'm done talking, the Captain seems calmer, and with the help of Professor Xavier, we leave the two so that the Captain tells Logan a little about his past.

While they talk, the Professor asks me:

"So, what will you do with the children?"

Shrugging, I reply:

"I won't do anything" upon hearing my words, the faces of all the X-Men change.

And before they say anything, I continue:

"If they want to go with you, I'll let them but if they want to stay with me, and if any of you object, I'll do my best to fulfill the children's expectations" I say causing the place to go silent.

Professor Xavier, still surprised, asks:

"Why do you do so much for them?"

With a casual smile on my face, I say.

"For a promise"

"A promise?" asks a surprised Rouge.

"Yes, a promise made by myself that if they wanted me to take care of them, I would do it and that anyone who makes them think that they should not have existed, I would beat those people mercilessly for making them feel that way"
