[Xavier] Previously on X-Men: Evolution...
No!
[Xavier] Having all of those personalities driven out
has left her very fragile.
[Fury, on radio] Hold it right there, Logan.
Or should I say...
"Weapon X."
[irises whir]
[alarm blaring]
[gasping]
[man, on radio] The intruder is heading for the roof!
[helicopter rotor]
[clanging]
[barking]
[guard] Freeze!
[barking]
[helicopter rotor]
[indistinct radio chatter]
[gas leaking]
[barking]
[whimpering]
[guard] Aerial one, do you have a visual on the intruder?
Negative. The intruder is gone!
[guard] Colonel Fury is gonna have our heads.
[theme music playing]
[Ray] This is so lame.
I don't understand why Wolverine can't just do this in the danger room.
[imitating Wolverine] There's no off switch
in the real world, bub!
-[both laugh] -[rustling in trees]
[both gasp]
Man, I hate these training sessions!
Oh, oh, ah!
Ugh. Hang on, man. I'll... Whoa!
Bobby! Get me outta here!
[whirring noises]
I'll find the others and come back for you!
[laughing]
[Sunspot] Help!
I'll come back for you, too.
[Cannonball grunts]
Unh! Ah!
-[ice blast approaching] -Huh?
Uh, hey, hey, gimme a hand here, would ya?
[Iceman] Ugh. Sam, I'm never gonna learn anything
if I have to keep rescuing you guys!
Ugh!
Uh... did I win?
You can ask yourself that as you're going through the course again.
All of ya.
[everyone groans]
-[helicopters approaching] -Hmm.
Take over for me, would ya, Hank?
-You got it. -[cheering]
But I'll be watching.
[sighs]
[Xavier] Well, as far as I can determine,
you've fully recovered from your recent experiences,
and if you want to rejoin the other students, I don't see why--
Uh, no! No! I mean, uh...
I suppose I feel a little bit better,
but I just think I could use some more time.
It's just that--
Rogue, Rogue, take as much time as you need.
I just don't think I'm ready to be around a whole lot of people yet.
I understand.
And I'm sure it has nothing to do with avoiding Logan's training session.
What? N-No!
W-Was that today?
[Xavier] Why does Fury believe you have anything to do
with the SHIELD break-in?
I'm not sure yet,
but if he thought I really did it,
this sure ain't the way he'd be pickin' me up.
Uh, Logan, if you need anything...
[engine humming]
[Fury] The intruder had metal claws and had your DNA.
[angrily] What?
I'm lookin' for answers, Wolverine.
Someone's playin' games with you, Fury.
And that's why you're here...
to help me find out what's going on.
[Logan] How do you have a sample of my DNA, anyway?
Weapon X.
[growling]
What'd you just call me?
[Fury] Let's just take it easy.
The doctor here has risked a lot
by coming to us.
Please. We're running out of time.
We have to move fast!
Right now I want you to relax
and start at the beginning.
OK. Um...
my name is Dr. Deborah Risman.
I am... I was a scientist for Hydra,
an organization that deals in information.
Don't sugarcoat it. They're spies!
And dropping operatives inside SHIELD walls
Is their favorite pastime.
[Dr. Risman] That's why I'm here.
An operative, X-23,
was sent to infiltrate this facility
but then went rogue on us.
-So? -Trust me.
This is cause for concern.
Why work for the bad guys?
No boundaries.
They gave me the chance to push genetics
beyond anything conventional science had ever seen,
beyond what any government allowed.
My job there was to create a weapon,
the perfect weapon,
based on data Hydra had stolen
from a project code-named Weapon X.
[growls]
[Dr. Risman] But I failed, time and time again,
twenty-two times to be precise.
[whirring]
Twenty-three was the charm
once we realized where to look for the answer.
It was you, Weapon... uh, Wolverine.
Your healing factor was the key.
Therefore, we... acquired your DNA.
You... cloned me?
Not entirely.
I had to make a few genetic variations.
Unfortunately, that caused some... instability.
X-23 became volatile,
dangerous.
Our efforts to breed out emotion left behind...
explosive anger.
[slashing]
[gasps]
I succeeded in creating the ultimate weapon.
But then you couldn't control it.
[Dr. Risman] She's out there somewhere...
and she must be found!
[Multiple] Oh, yeah!
Ah-ha! Can't outswing the Beast, little guy.
I am all over this!
[giggling]
And so are you.
[laughter]
[grunting]
[heavy breathing]
Ugh!
[heavy breathing]
[sighs]
[ice beam fires]
[laughter]
[Cannonball] Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Oh, yeah!
Does Beast know how to spice up a training session or what?
[Cannonball] Whoo-hoo-hoo!
[laughs]
[creaking]
Ugh!
Uh-oh!
-[crash] -[cannonball groaning]
Ugh. Am I the only one who misses Wolverine?
[laughter]
[laughing] Yeah. Real funny, guys.
Ugh. Whoa. Whoa.
[whistle blowing]
[blowing whistle]
[Beast] OK. Great job.
Let's pack it in for the day.
[laughter]
[Dr. Risman] Hydra molded her from birth,
removing all distractions...
-isolating her from any attachments -[baby crying]
or love.
[whimpering]
[grunting]
And yet you just let it all happen.
It was made very clear that I could leave if I disapproved.
For her sake... I chose to stay.
We trained her how to blend in naturally with others,
but when she watched children having fun,
witnessed loving families...
-unexpected hostilities emerged. -[music box playing]
When she was 12...
they put her through the Weapon X process.
Enough!
She's a child, not a weapon!
How do you sleep at night?
I don't.
That's why I'm here.
To help her,
to try and undo some of the damage I've done.
[electric crackling]
[Kitty] ...Such a way with pastry.
Kurt, knock it off!
[whimpering]
[growling]
[water splashing]
-[happily] Ah! -Whoa!
[both laugh]
Hmm. Logan?
[X-23 cries]
[gentle weeping]
Hello?
[whimpering]
What's your name?
[X-23 grunts]
Ugh!
[beeping]
[Fury] They've rebuilt the computer network
destroyed in the breach last night.
-And? -The last files accessed were...
on the X-Men!
I wanna go in alone!
Nah, forget it.
[Dr. Risman] Wolverine's right.
Your agents are no match for her.
It has to be him.
[Fury] You got one hour.
Then we're coming in fast and hard,
you got it?
[sniffs] Ugh!
[Sam] Hey, Jean, can I borrow...
Huh?
Yah!
[moaning]
Hey, who's breakin' stuff up here?
Man, where is everyone?
Hey, Kurt, did you hear...?
Oh...
[beeping]
[heavy breathing]
[gasps] Ah!
Professor!
[groaning]
Huh? Huh!
That's the same thing I found on Magma!
-[knobs turning] -[gasps]
[grunts]
[Rogue] Ah! Whoa! Stop! It's me!
-Ah... -Oh...
[Rogue screams]
What's goin' on?
Someone's infiltrated the institute.
They've already taken down the professor.
Oh, no!
It's small,
but I think I can zap it off without hurting him.
Do it.
-[Logan] Don't! -[Rogue screams]
Those things are wired to explode.
[grunts]
Logan, who's doing all this?
We gotta get you three outta here.
No! I'm not leaving without the others.
Me, neither!
I'm staying, too!
[growling]
-[Ray] This is impossible. -[beeping]
The professor, Storm, Bobby?
Not even you could take us all out!
[growls]
[gasps]
[groaning]
You have to tell us what's going on!
It's complicated.
[slashing]
[Logan screams]
[grunting]
[Scott] Huh?
[grunting]
You're giving me no choice.
[sniffing]
[grunting]
-[Rogue] No! -[all three scream]
[moaning]
-Ah... -[beeping]
[Logan] Game's over.
Huh?
What are you after, kid?
[grunting]
Uhh.
[sighs] Come on! Talk to me.
Uhh!
[grunting]
Huh!
Uhh!
[X-23] Hya!
[grunting]
Uhh!
I know what happened to you.
No one should have to go through that,
especially a child.
I am not a child!
[grunting]
You are,
even though they tried takin' that away from you.
Uhn!
[grunting]
But why come after us?
Not them. Just you.
I don't understand.
This is your fault!
Everything I am is because of you!
You're mixed up.
I didn't know anything about this.
You're lying!
[grunting]
[yelling]
Uhn! Uhn!
No. I'm a victim...
just like you.
Ah!
I'm the one person on this planet who understands you.
[yelling]
[crying]
And maybe the closest thing you have to family.
No! I...
I can't have a family. I can't!
[weeping]
Your feelings...
don't fight 'em anymore.
Let 'em win.
[crying]
-[helicopters approaching] -[gasps]
Go!
I'll take care of 'em.
Get outta here!
Now!
Logan!
Forget about her.
She's been through enough.
I can't just let this go.
Yeah, you can...
and you will.
[Wolverine clears his throat]
I was worried when I couldn't find you in the infirmary.
It's OK, professor, really.
I'm feeling much better.
Good... 'cause I need you for a training session outside.
Well, not that much better.
[chuckles] I think you'll like this one.
[laughing]
[cheering]
[the students groan]
Well, it was fun while it lasted.
[Logan] The course has a new objective today.
[groaning]
It's called...
mutant dodgeball.
[cheering]
Ah, yes! I am so good at this game!
Oh, and, uh, extra credit
for anyone who takes out the ice cube.
What?
[kids cheering]
[Bobby] Seriously, guys?
Why the change of tactics, Logan?
Sometimes...
you gotta let kids just be kids.
[cheering]
