The neon buzz of the bar’s back alley faded into the cold night air as Logan stepped out, his jaw clenched. A gun flashed in the shadows, aimed at a trembling young girl. Before the trigger could snap, steel shrieked. Logan’s claws sliced the weapon into shards, sending the attacker fleeing in terror. The mutant stood silent, eyes locked with the girl’s. She didn’t run. In the weeks that followed, she appeared on his truck bed under the moonlight, bearing fresh wounds. Logan, the lone wolf, found himself tending to her injuries in silence, a quiet bond forming in the Canadian wilderness, far from his team’s prying eyes.
