"We can drop or change our friends and our partners, but we cannot fully discard, relationally or psychologically, a brother
or sister."

-Geoffrey Greif

NO ONE'S POV:

Years Ago

Sokovia

(We see a young Y/N with one of his hands made into a gun, pointed at a young Pietro who has his hands up.)

Young (Y/N): Hands on your head.

Young Pietro: No, I don't think so.

Young (Y/N): Hands on your head. You're under--

Young Pietro: Here's the thing, officier. I'm not going back to prison.

Young (Y/N): You must be confused. Where do you think I'm taking you?

(He notices Pietro's hand slowly going to his waist.)

Young (Y/N): Don't!

Young Pietro: Don't what, officer?

(His hand continues down to her waist.)

Young (Y/N): Hands on your head and get on your knees!

Young Pietro: Okay, okay.

(He quickly moves his hand to his waist, makes his hand into a gun, & raises it towards Y/N. Before he can get a shot off, Y/N fires first.)

*QUINJET GUNFIRE*

(Suddenly, Y/N is back to his adult self & back on Sokovia.)

(Y/N): What the...?

(He turns around to see...)

(Y/N): Pietro!

(As he's about to his brother's body, he's transported to The Raft.)

(Y/N): [groans] What is this?

Wanda: (Y/N).

(Y/N): *smiles* Wanda?

(He turns around to see his sister but once he does, his smile fades away as he looks at her in a cell.)

(Y/N): [nervous chuckle] I know what you're going to say but listen.

Wanda: I never want to see you again.

(Y/N): Hearing you say that again hurts all the same. But I'm not going anywhere this time. Mom, dad, and...Pietro are gone. We're all that's left of our family, Wanda. You can hate me all you want but I love you with all my heart and I will do everything in my power to get you out of here. Hell, I could break you out right now if you want.

Wanda: [softly chuckles]

(Y/N): What do you say?

Wanda: [cries]

(Y/N): Wan--

(They're taken to Wakanda.)

(Y/N): da...

(He looks at himself from bottom to top.)

(Y/N): At least I'm not twisted this time. Wanda?

(He looks in front of him to see her kneeling over Vision's body.)

(Y/N): Wanda.

(Y/N): Wanda!

(He runs to the dust particles that used to be his sister.)

(Y/N): *teary eyed* Sestra...

(Sestra is "sister" in Slovakian.)

(He drops to his knees.)

(Y/N): [whispers] I'm...

(He's taken to Mount Wundagore.)

(Y/N): *stands back up* Let's get this over with.

(He turns around to experience the last moments he had with his sister.)

Wanda: (Y/N)...you were the best brother a sister could ask for. I'm sorry I didn't realize it sooner.

(There's a silence between the two siblings.)

(Y/N): What? Not gonna send me away this time?

(The building they're in starts to crumble around them.)

*CRUMBLING*

(Y/N): Come on!

*SMASH*

(Some rubble lands Y/N, trapping him on the ground.)

(Y/N): [groans] I'm stuck.

(He looks up at his sister to see some rubble falling over her.)

(Y/N): Wanda! You have to move!

Wanda: (Y/N)-

*SMASH*

(He watches as the rubble completely smashes his sister's head.)

(Y/N): [frantically gasps] I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm-

*SMASH*

(More rubble comes down & smashes the rest of him.)

Ohio
The Maximoff Household

(It's early morning as we see Y/N quickly sit up from bed.)

(Y/N): [breathes heavily]

(As he gets out of bed, it stirs Natasha awake.)

Natasha: [yawns] Killer...?

(He makes his way to the kitchen, stands over the sink, & splashes water in his face.)

(Y/N): [scoffs] A nightmare. I thought I was too old to still have those.

Natasha: Good morning.

(He turns around to see his wife standing alongside the doorway.)

(Y/N): Hey, Nat...

(He looks through a kitchen window to see that the sun is up.)

(Y/N): Good morning yourself. I woke you up, didn't I?

Natasha: You did. But that's okay. Wanna tell me what's wrong?

(Y/N): It's nothing.

Natasha: The way you got out of bed and your wet face makes me beg to differ.

(Y/N): It really is nothing.

Natasha: Let me be the judge of that.

(Y/N): [sighs] Okay.

(He proceeds to tell her everything that happened in his nightmare.)

Natasha: It seems like you're still not over the deaths of your siblings.

(Y/N): I don't think I'll ever get over their deaths, Natasha.

Natasha: I know that. That's why I think it would be a good idea for you to talk to somebody about it.

(Y/N): Who would I talk to about this? Why would I? You're the only person who I want and need to talk about this.

Natasha: I love just how much you trust me but I think you should talk to someone more qualified on something like this.

(Y/N): Like a therapist?

Natasha: Yeah.

(Y/N): I don't need a therapist.

Natasha: Just...[sighs] Just promise me you'll think about it.

(Y/N): What's there to think about?

Natasha: Just promise me, okay? Please?

(Y/N): Okay, I promise I'll think about it.

Natasha: See?

(She kisses him.)

Natasha: Was that so hard?

A Few Hours Later

(We go over the inside of the Maximoff Household to see Laura in her room, coloring inside of a coloring book & Daken in his room, trying to pop a claw from his feet.)

Daken: No matter how hard I try, nothing comes out. Oh well.

*SKINT*

(He pops both of his wrist claws.)

Daken: These are way cooler than Laura's foot claws anyway.

(Cut to Natasha & Y/N, sitting at the kitchen table while Y/N is reading a newspaper.)

Natasha: Are you reading the newspaper?

(Y/N): I am.

Natasha: Why?

(Y/N): What? Can't I read the newspaper?

Natasha: You can. It's just, this is the first time I've ever seen you read the newspaper.

(Y/N): Well, I read it all the time.

Natasha: Hmm, you're reading the funnies, aren't you?

(Y/N): You got me. Garfield's just so relatable. Who doesn't hate Mondays?

Natasha: [chuckles]

(Y/N): Ha. I'm done with it anyway. I'll see if the kids want to read them.

Natasha: Hey, before that, mind if I ask you something?

(Y/N): Shoot.

Natasha: So, I was thinking...

(Y/N): About?

Natasha: About my sister, Yelena.

(Y/N): I wonder why.

Natasha: (Y/N).

(Y/N): I'm sorry. Go on.

Natasha: It's been a while since we've seen her.

(Y/N): Okay, I know where this is going.

Natasha: And where is this going?

(Y/N): You want go to wherever she is--

Natasha: She's in Yukon.

(Y/N): Yukon, huh? Never been to Canada--No, no. I am not picking her up. You know we don't get along.

Natasha: I thought you told me that you loved her?

(Y/N): I did. She's family. But just because I love her, doesn't mean that I like her.

Natasha: Ah, I understand.

(Y/N): Thank you.

Natasha: I'll go ask Laura and Daken if they want their aunt to come over.

(Y/N): [sighs] Don't. I already know what they're going to say.

Natasha: So, you'll pick her up?

(Y/N): Yes. But why can't you pick her up? Or, better yet, why can't she fly or drive herself here?

Natasha: Because I think it would be good for you to get out of the house for a bit. Take your mind off things. Plus, I can't miss the opportunity to improve you and Yelena's relationship.

(Y/N): You're...right. You're always right.

Natasha: Not always, killer.

(Y/N): Most of the time. I'm gonna get ready to leave.

Natasha: Promise me that you two won't kill each other on the way back?

(Y/N): As much as I want to promise that, I can't.

Natasha: Thought I'd try.

(He kisses Natasha & walks into a hallway.)

(Y/N): Laura. Daken. Come out here please.

(They walk out of their rooms & stand in front of their father.)

Laura: Yeah?

Daken: What's up, dad?

(He kneels down to their height.)

(Y/N): I'm going to pick up your aunt Yelena so I'll be gone a few days.

Laura: Yay!

(Y/N): Not excited to see your aunt, Daken? I don't blame you.

Daken: No! It's always nice to see her.

(Y/N): Before I leave I want to talk to you two. As you know I was a triplet with my brother Pietro and...my sister Wanda. I...loved them very much. And I'm sorry that you two never got to meet either of them. I'm...[voice cracks] sure they would've loved you.

(Laura & Daken hug their father.)

Daken: It's okay, dad.

Laura: It's not your fault.

(Y/N): I...I know that.

(They let him go.)

(Y/N): You two love each other, right?

Laura: Of course I love Daken!

Daken: *blushes* I love ya too, sis.

(Y/N): Good. Now, I need each of you to promise me that you will protect each other. Especially you. Daken. Since you're the man of the house when I'm not here.

Daken: I know. Mom tells me that every time whenever you're gone.

(Y/N): *smiles* Of course she does. All right, promise your father and then I'll be on my way.

Laura & Daken: We promise.

(He pats both of them on the head & walks into his room so he can pack. Cut to Y/N leaning against a car with Natasha standing in front of him.)

(Y/N): I'll call you when I reach a motel.

Natasha: I look forward to it.

(Y/N): But you can call me whenever you want. The kids too.

Natasha: We know that. [chuckles] Now, get going. The quicker you leave, the quicker you get back.

(Y/N): Heard.

(He gets into the driver's seat, rolls down the window, & kisses Natasha before finally driving off. Pan into the front area of the car where Y/N is driving.)

(Y/N): So I've got a 7 hour drive ahead of me. I really need to get Natasha to teach me how to fly the Quinjet. I know I gave her somewhat of a hard time about her wanting to see Yelena but Laura and Daken always love seeing their aunt and she is Natasha's sister. Who am to say anything about their relationship after...[sighs] Let's try not to think about that. Just follow Nat's advice and take my mind off it. It's just me, the open road, and the radio. Should be grand.

(Cut to Y/N, still driving at night.)

(Y/N): I'd say I'm making good pace. [yawns] Getting tired though. Don't want to fall asleep at the wheel, now do I? I'd survive the crash of course. But the car would probably be wrecked and I'd have to make the rest of the trip by foot. What do you think, Pietro?

(He looks out the window to see his brother running beside the truck.)

Pietro: *shrugs his shoulders*

(Pietro picks up speed & runs past the car, out of Y/N's sight.)

(Y/N): Imagining my dead brother isn't a good sign.

(As he's driving, he sees a Motel 6 & pulls into it. After walking up to the front desk area & paying for the night, he walks up to his motel room, #27. He walks inside.)

(Y/N): [sniffs] Yup. It definitely smells like a motel room.

*LIGHT THUD*

(Y/N slumps onto the motel room bed.)

(Y/N): [muffled] This'll do just fine.

(He flips himself over onto his back.)

(Y/N): [yawns] I should call Natasha. Hopefully she's not asleep yet.

(He takes out his phone & calls his wife. After a few rings, she answers.)

Natasha: Took you long enough to call, killer. I was about to go to sleep.

(Y/N): [chuckles] Sorry. Long drive.

Natasha: How's it been so far?

(Y/N): No compliments really. Enjoyed the scenery as much as I could. Drove past some cows.

Natasha: Oh, that's cool. I'm sorry I missed it.

(Y/N): You should be sorry. There were a bunch of them.

Natasha: The kids told me what you said to them before you left.

(Y/N): Was it too much?

Natasha: No. They're so mature for their age.

(Y/N): You can say that again.

Natasha: Listen, (Y/N). I know why you told them that and I know you blame yourself for what happened to both Pietro and Wanda. I need you to hear it from me that it wasn't your fault what happened to them.

(Y/N): I know, Nat.

Natasha: You don't sound very convincing. You didn't sound convincing to Daken either.

(Y/N): [groans]

Natasha: I'm not trying to upset you, especially not so late at night but you have nothing to worry about when it comes to Laura and Daken's relationship. It's solid--

(Y/N): And it's going to stay that way. I won't let it become like--how it was between Wanda and I.

Natasha: Killer.

(Y/N): I'm...I'm gonna go to sleep. I'll call you tomorrow.

Natasha: I--

(He hangs up the phone before she can finish what she was going to say.)

(Y/N): Good job, (Y/N). Good fucking job. Just go to sleep before you do anything else.

(With that, Y/N goes to sleep.)

The Next Morning

(Y/N sits in the driver seat of the car.)

(Y/N): Got a few more hours of driving left before I get to Canada. I'm sure I'll get to sight see a bit. I mean, Yelena can wait. I should tell Nat I'm sorry about last night.

(He starts the car & shoots a text to Natasha that reads, "Sorry about last night." He pulls out of the parking lot & flips through radio stations, trying to find something to listen to.)

(Y/N): Hundreds of stations and they're all playing nothing but garbage.

*PHONE VIBRATION*

(Y/N): Hm?

(He pulls his phone out of his pocket to see a text from Nat that reads, "I'm sorry too. Call me when you're at Yelena's. The kids say hi. Love you.")

(Y/N): [sighs happily]

(He gives the message a heart react.)

(Y/N): I'm so lucky to have her in my life. Even more lucky that Bruce didn't realize how special she is. Big, green idiot. [chuckles]

(He's now back on the road, on his way to the Canadian border. During the drive, it gives him time to look back on his life up to this point.)

(Y/N): I've been through a lot. More than anyone could imagine. Who would have thought that a guy from Sokovia with claws that come out of his fists, and a healing factor would even be an Avenger? Especially after my first encounter with them was me fighting them. Definitely not me. How long has it been since then? 10 years? Man, I'm getting old. Been some bad through the years...

(He imagines Pietro & Wanda.)

(Y/N): But there has been a lot of good through the years as well. Looking after Peter. Not only that but getting to know him. We've been through a lot together. Even saw some different versions of himself which was awesome to be honest. Marrying Natasha, I can't put into words how great it's been. Her, Lauren, and Daken mean the absolute world to me. *smiles* I love her family too. Melina's been such a sweet grandma to Laura and Daken. Plus she's been nothing but supportive of Natasha and I. Alexei has also been a good grandpa I believe. Though, I wish he'd stop trying to fight his grandkids but I digress. And finally, there's Yelena. She has been...a perfect aunt. The kids love her so much and she is always willing and eager to watch her niece and nephew. Nat and I really appreciate that. I like to think Wanda would be an aunt like her. I bet her and Yelena would've gotten along. Bonding over the times they've embarrassed me. [chuckles] Yelena and I's relationship has gotten better since the first time we met. I'd say the births of Laura and Daken has something to do with that. So does the whole thing with Clint I'd imagine. Every time we decide to spend  time together I can tell she's trying and so am I. She can be a real sweetheart. I'd never tell her that though.

(He drives up to the Canadian border where he hands the attendant his passport.)

Attendant: What is your purpose for visiting Canada today?

(Y/N): Picking up a family member.

Attendant: Okay. Enjoy your visit, Mr. Maximoff. Wait.

(Y/N): Is there a problem?

Attendant: Not at all. It's just that you're the Wolverine!

(Y/N): [chuckles] I am.

Attendant: Big fan.

(Y/N): I can tell.

Attendant: Could I trouble you for a picture?

(Y/N): It'd be a pleasure.

(The attendant takes a selfie with Y/N.)

Attendant: Thanks! My kids are gonna love this.

(Y/N): Happy to hear it.

*CAR HORN*

(The car behind him honks at him. He looks in his rear view window to look at the driver. He rolls down the window, puts his left arm through the open window, &...)

(Y/N): *flips the driver behind off with his middle claw*

Attendant: Wow.

(He retracts his claw.)

(Y/N): Sorry about that.

Attendant: It's okay. You here to pick up your sister?

(Y/N): I wish. Have a good day.

Attendant: You too.

(He drives through the border & is now in Canada.)

(Y/N): "You here to pick up your sister?" Sometimes I just want to...

(He holds a fist against head &...)

(Y/N): Skint.

(He knocks his head sideways as if he stabbed himself in the head.)

(Y/N): I would come back anyway.

(He drives through many little towns like Dawson City & St. Andrews. He really admires the look of them. Y/N doesn't leave the towns empty handed however. He's picked up many souvenirs like some gallery for Natasha & Laura. Also some genuine Canadian maple syrup. He pops it open & smells it.)

(Y/N): [sniffs] That's strong.

(He even drives into Edmonton so he can buy the jersey of his favorite hockey player, Connor McDavid of Edmonton Oilers. So finally after all of his little detours, he makes it to...)

Yukon

(Y/N): Peaceful looking place here. People seem nice too. I mean, Canadians are inherently nice, aren't they?

(He drives to Yelena's address. As he does, it begins to snow.)

(Y/N): I hope I don't have to spend a night alone with her. That sounds like hell.

(He drives up to the cabin where Yelena is staying. Y/N attempts to call Natasha but due to the snow, the call doesn't go through.)

(Y/N): Should have figured...Let's get this over with.

(He walks up to her door.)

(Y/N): I wonder what dog pun or insult she'll say to me this time around. Probably call me a Husky or whatever.

*KNOCKS*

(But there's no answer.)

(Y/N): Uh, Yelena? It's (Y/N). I'm here to pick you up?

*THUD*

(A thud is heard from inside the cabin.)

(Y/N): Sorry about the door!

*KICK*

(He kicks it open to the inside of the cabin has been completely trashed. Broken pieces of furniture everywhere, the tv screen smashed, & claw marks all over the walls...)

(Y/N): Did a bear do all this?

(Out of the corner of his eye, he sees a bloody, beaten up Yelena beside him with claws all over her.)

(Y/N): Oh, my God! Yelena?!

(He walks over to her & kneels down.)

Yelena: [groans]

(She barely opens her eyes to see Y/N.)

Yelena: [winces} (Y/N)...?

(Y/N): It's me.

Yelena: Forgive me...for not patting your head.

(Y/N): You can still get out a dog pun despite how you look right now? [sighs] Why am I surprised? Who...or what did this to you? A bear?

Yelena: No...

???: I'm no bear. I'm something much worse.

(Y/N turns his head & looks up to the person responsible.)

(Y/N): Who the hell are you supposed to be?

???: You can call me--

(Y/N): It doesn't matter who you are. Ya see...

(Y/N stands up.)

(Y/N): You kicked her ass pretty good. But I'm the only one who gets to kick her ass.

Yelena: [coughs] As if you could.

(Y/N): Yelena, please.

???: Is that right? Just what kind of relationship do you two have?

(Y/N): What? No! She's my sister-in-law. That's disgusting.

???: Right, right. I remember.

*SKINT*

(He pops all six of his claws.)

???: Ooh. Shiny.

(The two charge at each other with their claws...)

*CLANK*

(Clanking against each other. Y/N attempts a slash but the wildman ducks under & throws him into the tv.)

*SMASH*

(Y/N): [groans]

Wildman: No, no, no! You're slower than I thought you'd be.

(Y/N): [growls]

(He rises back to face the wildman. This time the wildman swings first but Y/N's ready for by...)

*STAB*

(By stabbing into the wildman's hand.)

Wildman: [shouts]

(Y/N pulls his claws out of the wildman's hand &...)

*STAB*

(Stabs all six of his claws into the wildman's stomach.)

Wildman: [painfully groans]

(Y/N): How's that for "slow?"

(The wildman raises his head to face Y/N.)

(Y/N): Huh?

(Suddenly, both of the wildman's thumb claws are...)

*STAB*

(Stabbed through each of Y/N's eyes.)

(Y/N): [shouts]

*RIP*

(The wildman rips out Y/N's eyes.)

(Y/N): [painfully shouts]

(He retracts his claws out of the wildman's stomach, falls to his knees, & covers his eye sockets with his hands.)

Wildman: Oh, you were perfect!

(Y/N): [painfully growls]

Wildman: No, not perfect. Not yet.

(The wildman walks behind Y/N &...)

*SLASH*

(Slashes across his back as he's still covering his eye sockets.)

(Y/N): *grits teeth* Bastard!

Wildman: Your sister-in-law here distracted you. Yeah, that's it. This fight doesn't count. But the next one. Believe me. Your eyes will have grown back, you'll be pissed off, and out for blood.

(Y/N): [growls] I'm not at that point already?

Wildman: Not to my standards. No.

(The wildman grabs four table legs, which are sharp at the end due to a now unconscious Yelena being thrown on to them.)

Wildman: Thanks for the teaser.

*STAB*

(He stabs each of the table legs into Y/N's body.)

(Y/N): [coughs blood]

(The wildman then grabs Y/N by his shirt collar & drags him outside.)

(Y/N): [muddled] Yelena...?

Wildman: Don't worry. She's fine...for now.

(We're shown that Y/N's been dragged to a lake.)

Wildman: The next time we fight, I'm expecting the Savage Wolverine.

(He throws Y/N into the lake.)

*SPLASH*

(As he sinks to the bottom of the lake, water enters his lungs.)

(Y/N): *taking in water*

(Once he does reach the bottom, he starts drowning.)

(Y/N): [inaudible, underwater breathing]

A Few Days Later

(We see some scuba divers lifting a dead Y/N out of the lake & on to their boat. Once he's on their boat, his healing factor kicks in by regrowing his eyes & bringing him back to life which results in Y/N regaining consciousness & coughing the water out his lungs.)

(Y/N): [coughs] Ugh...I can see again.

Scuba Diver: Um.

(Y/N): What is it, bub?

Scuba: *taps his shoulder & looks down*

(Y/N does the same to realize that two of the table legs are in each of his shoulders & the other two table legs are in his stomach.)

(Y/N): Okay. You may want to cover your eyes for this.

(He pulls out each of the table legs out of him to the disgust of the scuba divers.)

Scuba Divers: [gag]

(Y/N): I told you to cover your eyes. How long have I been dead?

Scuba Diver: How are we supposed to know?

(Y/N): Good point. What's the date today?

Scuba Diver: The 22nd.

(Y/N): So I've been fish food for three days. *gets water out of his ears* Mind taking me to shore?

Scuba Diver: Of course.

(Once Y/N's back on land, he takes his phone out of his pocket to call Natasha but it doesn't turn on due to it being in the water with him for days.)

(Y/N): Now I have to get a new one. Ugh. All my contacts and photos...I'm sure Nat has them in her phone. I hope so. Who was that guy anyway? He seemed to know me. That's not surprising though he did mention the Savage Wolverine. There are only two people who have ever called me that, Agatha but I doubt it's her after what happened in Westview. And there's Wanda...

(Y/N): No, it can't be her. She's dead. My sister...Yelena!

(He remembers how she looked the last he saw her & begins running back to her cabin.)

(Y/N): *while running* Please be okay. Please be okay. I'd never forgive myself if I let another sister die and I don't think I could face Natasha if something were to happen to you and I could've stopped it but didn't.

(He finally arrives at her cabin & stops in front of the door.)

(Y/N): [panting]

(He swings the door open to see the inside is still trashed but Yelena isn't in the same spot.)

(Y/N): Yelena! Yelena!

(He searches all over the cabin but she's nowhere to be found.)

(Y/N): Damnit! Okay, calm down. He said that she's okay for now. Meaning he's keeping her alive for some reason. [sighs] All right. I got to find a phone.

(After walking down a road for a few miles, Y'N's able to hitchhike a ride back to town where he acquires a burner phone. He calls Natasha but it goes to voicemail.)

(Y/N): Come on.

(He calls her a second time & again it goes to voicemail.)

(Y/N): She might be busy but I'm surprised Laura or Daken haven't picked up the phone.

(He calls a third time & this time there's an answer.)

(Y/N): Ha! Third time's the charm. Natasha, listen--

Wildman: Hey, runt.

(Y/N): You?!

Wildman: Not who you were expecting? About time you called.

(Y/N): How do you have her phone?

Wildman: For starters, you might want to pick a more remote place for your family home. Ohio's not bad but not the place I'd pick.

(Y/N): ...

Wildman: That's right. I'm in your house right now. [winces] How about I tell you how your family reacted to my arrival?

An Hour Ago

Ohio

(We see Natasha sitting on the couch watching tv while Laura and Daken play around her.)

Natasha: [chuckles]

Laura: Hey, mom?

Natasha: Yes, Laura?

Laura: Dad's okay, right?

Natasha: Why do you ask?

Laura: He is with aunty Yelena.

Daken: They killed each other, didn't they?

Natasha: [nervous laughter] No. I'll call him right now.

(As she takes out her phone, there's a knock at the door.)

Daken: Dad?

Natasha: Maybe. But why would he knock? You two stay here.

(She walks to the door & opens it to see the wildman from before but wearing a camouflage jacket.)

Wildman: I'm so sorry to disturb you, ma'am. You see, I'm in the middle of a hunt and I thought I was following the trail, turns out I got myself lost.

Natasha: Uh-huh.

Wildman: I'm relieved I stumbled upon your beautiful home here.

Natasha: It is beautiful, Mr...?

Wildman: Creed. Victor Creed.

Natasha: Mr. Creed, what were you hunting?

Creed: Oh, nothing too exotic.

(He grabs Natasha by her throat & lifts her up.)

Natasha: [gasps]

Creed: Just a spider and two baby wolverines.
(As she's being choked, she pulls a switchblade from her pocket &...)

*STAB*

(Stabs it into Creed's eye.)

Creed: [yells]

(He drops Natasha & she slams the door shut. The sound causes Laura & Daken to check on their mother.)

Daken: Mom, are you okay?

Natasha: [coughs] Run.

Laura: From who?

Natasha: Just run!

(They run away just as Creed slashes the front in half.)

Creed: *takes the switchblade out of his eye* Kinda ironic.

(Natasha watches as his eye heals back to normal.)

Creed: Yeah. Your husband and I have a lot of similarities!

(He attempts to slash her but she jumps away. As she's in the air, Creed catches her by the ankle &...)

*THUD*

(Throws against a wall.)

Natasha: [groans]

(She grabs a handful of glass that Creed's unaware of as he lifts her up by her shirt.)

Creed: Now, where are--

*SMASH*

(She jams the handful of glass into his face.)

Creed: [shouts]

(He throws her across the hall, into the kitchen.)

Natasha: [groans] Have to...*spits blood* buy the kids as much time as I can...

(She rolls over onto her back as Creed walks over to her, picking the glass out of his face.)

Creed: [annoyed growl] I wish I could kill you now but I've got orders.

(He reaches an arm out to pick her up but she pulls him down & wraps her legs around his neck. Hoping to choke him out with a triangle. She hits him repeatedly with elbows.)

Creed: *through elbow strikes* Not bad...

(He stands back up while lifting Natasha.)

Creed: Not bad at all!

*SMASH*

(He powerbombs her through the kitchen table resulting in her releasing the triangle choke.)

Natasha: Ack...

Creed: *rubs his neck*

(He grabs her by her throat again, lifts her up, & slams her against the wall.)

*THUD*

Creed: You put up a good fight, I'll give you that. Now, where are your kids?

Natasha: [groans] Long gone by now.

Creed: I doubt that. You're going to tell me where they are or...

(He grows his claws.)

Creed: I'll give you a matching scar with your sister!

Natasha: Yelena? What did you do to her--

(He tightens his grip around her throat.)

Natasha: [gasps]

Creed: You should really answer my question before I change my mind and kill you.

(He hears someone sneaking up on him. The person in question jumps at him but...)

Laura: [gasps]

(He catches her by her throat.)

Creed: "Long gone."

(He pulls her up to his face.)

Creed: Where's your brother?

*SKINT*

(Daken pops his claws, leaps into the air, &...)

*STAB*

(Stabs all six of them into Creed's back.)

Daken: Let go of them, you bastard!

Creed: [roars]

(He slams Laura into Natasha's head.)

Natasha & Laura: [groans]

(Daken repeatedly stabs into his back.)

Creed: Get off!

*SMASH*

(He backs into a wall.)

Daken: [groans]

(He retracts his claws & is left stuck in the wall. Creed turns around to see this & he...)

*PUNCH*

(Punches Daken through the wall.)

Daken: [gasps]

Back In The Present

Creed: Now you're all caught up.

(Y/N): [growls] I'm going to kill you.

Creed: [chuckles] Promises, promises. I'm sure you're on your way home so I'm going to wrap up this conversation. And I'll take your family off your hands.

(Y/N): Where are you taking them?!

Creed: You're a smart guy, (Y/N). Figure it out. But, hey, I'm not completely heartless. I'll let Natasha say goodbye.

(He holds the phone over her mouth. He grows his claws & stabs them into her shoulder.)

Natasha: [screams]

(Y/N): *grits his teeth*

(Creed puts the phone back up to his ear.)

Creed: I'll leave a message for you. You won't miss it.

(He hangs up. Y/N stands in place for a few seconds before throwing the burner phone on the ground, smashing it. He walks up to a parked car, smashes the window, & hotwires the car. The car starts & he's on his way back home at an extreme speed.)

Ohio

(He drives up to his house & he can already see the front door that's been cut in half. He exits the car & walks over the pieces of the door. Once inside, the scene is similar to Yelena's cabin. Broken furniture & claw marks. As Y/N is walking down a hallway, he happens to step on something.)

*CRACK*

(He looks down to see that it's a framed picture of himself, Natasha, Laura, & Daken. He picks it up & hangs it back on the wall.)

(Y/N): [sniffs] Blood?

(He walks into the kitchen to see the message Creed left him, written on the wall.)

(Y/N): ...

(He walks up to the message & smells it.)

(Y/N): He...he wrote this in Natasha's blood? [deep breathe] I'm going to cut his fucking head off!

*CREAK*

(He turns around to see the person who caused the noise.)

???: (Y/N)--

(Y/N pushes the person against a wall, places a fist under the person's jaw, &...)

*SKINT*

(Pops the first and third claw.)

???: I do this move all the time.

(Y/N): "All the time?" Did he send you here?!

???: No, Victor didn't send me here.

(Y/N): And yet, you know his name.

???: [groans] I can explain how I know his name and other things if you'd back the fuck up.

(Y/N): Maybe I don't give a shit about what you have to say and I pop and my third claw.

???: God. You're so much like me, bub.

(Y/N gets off the man.)

(Y/N): I'm the only person who says that. Who the hell are you?

???: I didn't want to meet like this but...I'm your father.

(Y/N): Prove it.

???: You want me to prove it? Okay.

*SKINT*

(He slowly pops out his six adamantium claws.)

(Y/N): I...I don't understand.

???: Like I said, I can explain.

(Y/N sits down in a chair.)

(Y/N): How about you start off with your name?

???: James Howlett. But you can call me Logan.

(Y/N): I've actually been told that I look like a Logan.

Logan: Really?

(Y/N): Yeah. So, you're my father. Does that mean you were also Pietro and Wanda's father?

Logan: Uh, no. Their father was the father that raised you.

(Y/N): They adopted me?

Logan: Yes.

(Y/N): Where the hell were you? Where's my real--other mother? Why did you give me up?

Logan: I know how this must feel--

(Y/N): No, you really don't.

Logan: Fine, I don't. I can explain further and answer any more questions you may have on the road.

(Y/N): I'm not going anywhere with you! At least not until I rescue my family.

Logan: Do you know where they are?

(Y/N): No. But I have their scent.

Logan: Your noise isn't that good.

(Y/N): [groans] You don't happen to know where they are, do you?

Logan: As a matter of fact, I do.

(Cut to them in a car with Y/N driving & Logan in the passenger seat.)

(Y/N): So how do you know where they are?

Logan: First, tell me, do you know what you are?

(Y/N): Um, human?

Logan: Kinda.

(Y/N): Kinda?

Logan: You, I, your kids, and...the person who took your family. We're mutants. Scientifically, Homo Superior.

(Y/N): Okay. I think I need to close my eyes for a bit.

Logan: But I'm not done.

(Y/N): For now, you are. You tell me that you're my father, that I'm adopted, that I'm not related to my brother and sister by blood, that I'm something called a mutant, and the person who took my family is also a mutant!

Logan: That's a lot to take in.

(Y/N): No shit. I'm going to get some sleep. Wake me up when we're at a motel and then you can continue your crazy ass story. Sound good? Great.

(He closes his eyes.)

Logan: He's my boy all right.

(Cut to them in a motel room.)

(Y/N): Okay, Logan, go on.

Logan: Mutants. Born different from baseline humanity, with an enhanced genome that gives us superpowers.

(Y/N): And how many of us are there?

Logan: To my knowledge, myself, you, your kids, and Creed are the only ones left.

(Y/N): And why is that?

Logan: I can't answer that.

(Y/N): Why reveal yourself to me now?

Logan: [sighs] I've watched you ever since the Maximoffs took you in.

(Y/N): That means--

Logan: The Stark shells. Yes.

(Y/N): You could've rescued us! Raised us! Why didn't you? From what I can see, you're exactly like me but older.

Logan: I think about that moment a lot. But what I did, or didn't do. It was for the best.

(Y/N): The best?! If you'd just decided to be a father I wouldn't have this metal crap inside me. Pietro and Wanda would still be alive!

*SKINT*

(He pops his claws.)

Logan: Listen, son--

(Y/N): You don't get to call me that. Ever! I already had a father. And his name was Olek Maximoff.

Logan: All right, I won't call you that. Before you attempt to cut me in half, just think about this; if I would've raised you, Wanda, and Pietro, you would have never met Natasha and your kids wouldn't exist.

(Y/N): [groans]

(He retracts his claws.)

(Y/N): You've really been watching me this whole time?

Logan: I have. I did lose track of you for five years though.

(Y/N): You got snapped, huh? So much for that healing factor.

Logan: It gets...slower with age. It'll happen to yours. When I came back, thanks to you and your friends I assume?

(Y/N): Yup.

Logan: I went back to watching you. After what happened with Wanda, I gotta say, she didn't deserve you.

(Y/N): *pinches the bridge of his nose* You are wearing my patience, old man.

Logan: Skipping over some things then. I'm happy that you and Natasha were able to have kids.

(Y/N): Do you know their names?

Logan: [chuckles] No. I'm not in voice distance.

(Y/N): Laura and Daken.

Logan: My grandkids. *smiles* Natasha reminds me a lot of your mother.

(Y/N): Can you tell me about her?

Logan: Kayla? My Silverfox? She was the kindest and most beautiful I've even known. I have no idea what she saw in me. [chuckles]

(Y/N): Sometimes I wonder the same thing with Natasha.

Logan: Women out of our league.

(Y/N): You can say that again. What happened to her?

Logan: She was murdered by the same man who took your family.

(Y/N): [growls] Tell me his name again.

Logan: Victor Creed. Aka Sabretooth.

(Y/N): Appropriate name. What's his deal with me?

Logan: It has to do with me.

(Y/N): Huh?

Logan: We were like brothers. We worked for a group called Alkali-Transigen.

(Y/N): Them again?

Logan: You've faced them before?

(Y/N): Yeah, in Westview. I fought a clone of myself they created whilst Wanda was fighting a witch. I completely forgot about them and now that I think about it, that clone looked a lot like you.

Logan: They're a scientific group so I'm not surprised they were able to clone me. They also put the adamantium around my skeleton. HYDRA did it to you.

(Y/N): That they did.

Logan: Creed and I did things for them that I'm not proud of. Somewhere down the road, I met and fell in love with your mother, had you. We were happy.

Logan: But...[sighs] as you can guess, it didn't last long enough. I was going to leave this life behind me and be a better husband and father...I tried my best to keep you and your mother a secret from them but they found out about the two of you somehow. They didn't want me being distracted, losing my edge. One day, I came back from a mission brief, Creed wasn't there but I thought nothing of it. But on my way home, I saw a body in the forest. I went over to it and to my horror it was your mother.

Logan: I ran towards our house to see it was a complete mess. Your mother put up a fight. Something Creed wasn't expecting. I was about to walk out of there until I heard you crying out from under a floor board. From then on, we were on the run. Creed and I would fight from time to time. We would take literal chunks out of each other sometimes. It was no life for a baby. So we happened to be in Sokovia. I went into the closest neighborhood I could find, walked up to a doorstep, rang the doorbell, and I left you at their door.

(Y/N): What if they didn't take me in?

Logan: I would've kept trying until a family took you in.

(Y/N): Determined. I think I can finish this. Creed kidnapped my family on Alkali-Transigen's orders in the hopes that it will bring you out of hiding.

Logan: Pretty much.

(Y/N): If we're going to rescue my family, we may need some help.

(He takes out his phone.)

Logan: Don't tell me you're going to call the kid.

(Y/N looks at Logan surprisingly.)

Logan: Yeah, I remember him. I remember everything. Even things I wish I didn't. Besides, how could I forget your best friend?

(Y/N): [mumbles] He's more like a brother but whatever.

(He calls Peter & after some rings, he answers.)

Peter: (Y/N)...?

(Y/N): Peter!

Peter: [yawns] Do you know what time it is?

(Y/N): No?

(He looks at the alarm clock which reads 11:30 PM.)

(Y/N): Sorry. I wouldn't be calling if it wasn't important.

Peter: I know. Plus, it's not like I was getting much sleep anyway.

(Y/N): And why is that?

Peter: Well, I have my GED test tomorrow and I'm nervous about it.

(Y/N): Your GED test is tomorrow and you answered my phone call despite the time?

Peter: Priorities!

(Y/N): [chuckles] Get some sleep. You'll need it.

Peter: But you haven't even told me why you called.

(Y/N): It's not important. I can handle it.

Peter: Are you sure?

(Y/N): Absolutely. I'd never lie to you, Peter. Now, get some sleep. I want to hear about how you passed your GED test.

Peter: I don't know if I'll pass it on my first--

(Y/N): You're going to pass.

Peter: [yawns] Okay, I'll pass.

(Y/N): Night, Peter.

Peter: Talk to you later.

(He hangs up the phone.)

Logan: Not bringing the kid along?

(Y/N): No, he has his own life to live. And I'd never forgive myself if something happened to him during this. I'm carrying enough guilt as is. Two wolverines should be enough.

Logan: What did you call me?

(Y/N): Wolverine? That's like, your superhero name, right?

Logan: "Superhero" name. [chuckles] That was my codename, yes. How'd you get the name Wolverine?

(Y/N): Wanda always called me her wolverine.

Logan: How about you show me why she called you that while we go rescue your family?

(Y/N): Definitely. Where is Alkali-Transigen's base of operations anyway?

Mexico

(Cut to them in a car, driving down a dirt road.)

Logan: Do you want to come up with a plan?

(Y/N): Oh, I have a plan.

Logan: How about you fill me in on it.

(Y/N): It's a real simple plan. Not complicated whatsoever. I'm just going to walk in through the front door, cut down everyone who stands in my way, and cut Victor's head off.

Logan: What about Natasha, Laura, Daken, and...Yelena? That's her name, right?

(Y/N): Right. That's where you come in, pops. While I'm carving up Victor like a Thanksgiving turkey, you'll be rescuing my family and getting them out of there.

Logan: That's it?

(Y/N): That's it.

Logan: I'm sure we can come up with a better plan than that.

(Y/N): Hmm, probably. But I don't want to.

(The car stops a bit away from the Alkali-Transigen headquarters. Logan looks over at Y/N.)

Logan: What are you doing?

(Y/N):  *while putting his suit on* What's it look like? I'm suiting up.

Logan: All right, bub.

(Y/N): *while putting his suit on* So this is what it feels like to be on the receiving end of a "bub."

(He puts on his Civil War suit.)

Wolverine: All done.

Logan: Finally.

Wolverine: What? You don't have a suit?

Logan: No.

Wolverine: Then what would you wear on missions?

Logan: It definitely didn't involve red eyes and it wasn't as patterned.

Wolverine: [scoffs] "Definitely didn't involve red eyes." This is my first suit. I do have another suit that Wanda made for me but I'm not ready to put it on or even look at it after--You don't care about suits.

Logan: Not at all. Does the suit Wanda made for you have a mask as well? Since, you know, you Avengers usually wear masks?

Wolverine: Not all Avengers wear...[sighs] It used to have a mask but I lost it.

Logan: I bet it looked ridiculous.

Wolverine: How can you possibly say that without ever seeing it?

(The two Wolverines begin walking down a dirt road, with the Alkali-Transigen headquarters in their sights.)

Logan: Before you go in there, I'm gonna say one thing.

Wolverine: Go ahead.

Logan: His healing factor is as good as yours.

Wolverine: I know that.

Logan: So cutting off his head may not kill him. Your best bet is drowning him.

Wolverine: I've drowned before. So have you as I imagine. Cutting off his head is still going to feel great though.

Logan: [chuckles] Not gonna argue with you on that.

(Y/N continues walking forward as Logan drifts off to find or make a different entrance in hopes of finding Y/N's family. Now, we focus solely on Y/N.)

Wolverine: [growls]

*KICK*

(He kicks the front doors open. He enters Alkali-Transigen & looks around frantically to see scientists looking at him & guards aiming their assault rifles at him.)

Sabretooth: Took you long enough, runt.

Wolverine: [growls] Sabretooth.

Sabretooth: I don't remember telling you my code name. [sniffs] I smell your old man on you. That explains it. Ha! Is he here with you?

Wolverine: *glares*

Sabretooth: That's okay. I'll gut him after I'm done with you. I was beginning to think you flat out ignored my message. Even though I used...special ink to write it.

Wolverine: Bastard!

*SKINT*

(He pops all six of his claws.)

Sabretooth: Let's see if Logan has taught you anything.

Wolverine: I don't need him to teach me anything!

Sabretooth: This is going to be fun.

(Creed addresses the guards.)

Sabretooth: If any of you get in our way or interfere, I will rip out your heart and then each one of your family member's hearts.

(The two charge at each other.)

*STAB*

(They simultaneously stab each other. Creed stabbing Y/N in the gut while Y/N stabs him in the shoulder.)

Wolverine: [groans]

Sabretooth: [strained growls]

(Creed grabs Y/N's wrist & slowly pulls his claws out of him. He throws down Y/N's arm &...)

*SLASH*

(He slashes across Y/N's face.)

Wolverine: [shouts]

(Creed sinks the rest of his claws into Y/N's chest &...)

*THUD*

(Throws him into a wall.)

Wolverine: Ack...

(Creed runs towards him with an arm raised & as he brings his claws down...)

*SCRAP*

(Y/N dodges & Creeds claws scrap across the floor.)

Sabretooth: You move just like--

*STAB*

(Y/N stabs him through the jaw.)

Wolverine: You talk too much.

Sabretooth: [inaudible muddling]

*STAB*

(Y/N stabs his other three claws into Creed's gut &...)

*RIP*

(Rips across his stomach resulting in his guts being spilled across the ground.)

Guards: [wince]

(Y/N retracts the claws out of his mouth. Creed drops to his knees as he's trying to put his guts back into his body.)

Sabretooth: [muddling groaning]

(Y/N walks over to Creed & grabs a handful of his hair.)

Wolverine: I'm going to cut off your head now.

(As he's about to cut Creed's head off, his jaw heals. He brings his down to Y/N's wrist &...)

*BITE*

(Bites down on Y/N's wrist & rips out the veins.)

Wolverine: [shouts]

(He holds his wrists as Creed stands back up.)

Sabretooth: *spits* You taste like shit.

(Y/N's wrist heals as he turns to face Creed.)

Wolverine: [snarls]

Sabretooth: [snarls]

(The two clash once again. Once they're up close & personal, the slashing begins. Creed & Y/N's claws both do an effective job at it. Blood, skin, & chunks of flesh are seen being slashed off the two. This doesn't slow them down however. As they continue slashing each other, an eye is seen being slashed off. Though, it's unclear who's eye it is.)

45 Minutes Later

(The slashing has seemed to stop for now.)

Wolverine: [panting]

Sabretooth: [panting]

(Their healing factors kick in as the two watch each other's wounds & cuts close up.)

Sabretooth: *as he's healing* [panting]

(Y/N pulls an arm back about to stab Creed in the heart. Before he can move his arm forward though...)

*GUNSHOTS*

(One of the guards fires tranquilizers that hit across Y/N's chest.)

Wolverine: [groans]

*GUNSHOTS*

(Creed looks shocked as more tranquilizers are shot into Y/N.)

Wolverine: Ugh...

(Y/N falls to the ground.)

Sabretooth: No!

A Few Hours Later

(Y/N is seen waking up with his wrists & ankles bolted to a wall.)

(Y/N): Ugh, what happened?

Creed: A...certain someone ended our fight.

(He looks up to see Creed sitting across from him.)

Creed: I suppose you'd like to hear my story on how I became who I am today?

(Y/N): I'd rather shallow razor blades.

Creed: [annoyed chuckle] Too bad. I was just a guy with a really abusive father who would rip out my teeth all the time. He chained me up in the basement because of what I am. My mom was no help. One day I decided I had enough. So I nawed off my hand and killed my father.

(Y/N): Looks like that hand grew back.

Creed: Our healing factors are great, aren't they? Logan told you what I did to your mom. And yes, I was following orders. But, I was happy to do it because I know you haven't seen your old man work but I have. And it was beautiful. Me and him were maestros of violence. And once I found out that Logan had a family, I couldn't have him getting soft. Alas, he did. But I never would have thought that you, runt. Could be a spitting image of him. Maybe even better.

(Y/N): [laughs]

Creed: Huh?

(Y/N): [laughs]

Creed: Why are you laughing?

(Y/N): I'm laughing over how those guards saved you from ending you! [laughs]

Creed: *annoyed* Oh?

(Y/N): Be sure to thank them! [lau--

*PUNCH*

(He starts punching Y/N in the face repeatedly.)

Creed: *as he's punching* Laugh now!

(All of the lights in the room turn on as Creed continues to punch Y/N in the face. A man with some guards walks towards them.)

Man: Sabretooth, stand down.

Creed: *ignores him*

Man: Stand down!

(He stops punching Y/N.)

Creed: [growls]

(He walks up to the man.)

Creed: Why did you interfere?!

Man: [sighs] I let you have your fun but now it's time we get to business.

Creed: It wasn't your fight to finish!

Man: It was. And besides, he was going to kill you.

(Y/N): *bloody* Ha!

(The man walks up to Y/N.)

Man: Mr. Maximoff. I would like to apologize for the state you're in. And for kidnapping your family.

(His face heals as hears this information, he also gets a better look at the man.)

(Y/N): You're responsible for this?!

(He pulls his restraints but there's no budge.)

Man: [sighs] I expected that reaction from you. I'm Zander Rice.

(Y/N): Am I supposed to know who you are?

Zander: No. But I am the man responsible for wiping out your kind.

(Y/N): My kind? You mean mutants?

Zander: You know what you are. That's good, that's good. I may be overstating. The goal was not ending mutant-kind but controlling it. I realized we needn't stop perfecting what we eat and drink when we could perfect ourselves. To distribute gene therapy discreetly, through, well, everything. From sweet drinks to breakfast cereal. And it worked. Random mutancy went the way of polio. And we embarked on our next venture.

(Y/N): Growing mutants of your own.

Zander: Dangerous times, (Y/N). The Avengers are an afterthought. Who's going to protect us now?

(Y/N): If you can grow your own mutants, why bring me here? Kidnap my family?!

Zander: Setbacks in a venture like this are a given. When you killed 24 set us back quite a while. Then I thought, why wait for something to grow...while we can just rewrite what's already here. Getting you was the main objective but once I found out that you had kids...I couldn't resist.

(Y/N): What about Natasha and Yelena?

Zander: That was to appease Sabretooth. Something about getting you motivated.

(Y/N): I'm going to kill you both.

Zander: When we're done with you, (Y/N), you won't even remember this conversation. HYDRA had the ability to wipe your mind so we're going too. There's one more mutant we need and you're going to help us find her.

(Y/N): Her?

Zander: Your sister. Wanda.

(Y/N): Well, she's dead so...

Zander: Hm. I don't believe you. I'll let you see your family one last time before we kill them. Bring them in.

(Natasha, Yelena, & Daken are brought in, also bolted to a wall.)

(Y/N): Nat? Nat!

Natasha: I'm okay, killer. [groans] Been better though.

(Y/N): I was so worried.

Yelena: Chained to the fence I see.

(Y/N): I'm actually glad to hear one of your dog puns, Yelena.

Yelena: This part of your plan to rescue us?

(Y/N): Not exactly.

Daken: Dad!

(He pulls his restraints.)

(Y/N): *teary eyed* Daken, my boy.

Daken: I tried, dad. I tried to protect them. You have to believe me!

(Y/N): I do, Daken, I do.

(He realizes Laura isn't with them.)

(Y/N): Where's my daughter?

Creed: Isn't it obvious?

(Y/N): Where is she?!

Zander: She's on her way.

(As he says that, Laura is brought, unconscious, & in a pod filled with water.)

Yelena: Natasha...?

Natasha: Laura? Honey?

Zander: She can't hear you.

Daken: What did you do to my sister?!

Zander: She's alive. Don't you worry. She's even more like her father now.

(Y/N): What the hell does that mean?

Zander: You'll find out soon enough. Daken will be more like you too once we're done with him. Now, if you'd excuse me.

(Zander leaves the room, escorted by guards. Creed stands between Natasha & Yelena.)

Creed: I can see why you married the redhead and put up with the blonde.

(He lifts Natasha up by her hair & licks her cheek.)

Creed: They taste great.

*SKINT*

(He pops all six of his claws.)

(Y/N): [yells]

Creed: Maybe I should kill her how I killed your mom? What do you think, kid?

(He looks down at Daken.)

Daken: *glares*

Creed: Ooh. I can feel that glare. Just like your old man--

*EXPLOSION*

(Explosions are shown all across Alkali-Transigen.)

*EXPLOSION*

Creed: What the--Logan.

(Cut to Logan running down a hallway as fire spreads throughout the building.)

Logan: Planting all that C4 took longer than I expected.

(Cut back to Y/N, his family, & Creed.)

Creed: This changes nothing! You're still bolted to that wall and I'm going to kill your wife!

Yelena: No!

Daken: Mom!

(As Creed is about to cut Natasha's throat...)

*EXPLOSION*

(An explosion occurs that blasts into the room they're in. Creed is the first to stir to his feet.)

Creed: Ugh. Logan--

*STAB*

(A now free Y/N stabs all six of his claws into Creed's chest.)

Sabretooth: [painfully groans]

(The force of Y/N stabbing into Creed sends them through a wall. Cut to Natasha, Yelena, Daken, & Laura.)

Natasha: [coughs]

Yelena: Don't worry, Natasha. I'll get you free.

Natasha: Daken and Laura?

Yelena: They're...fine.

(A free Yelena tries to break the bolts holding her sister. A free Daken is standing in front of the pod his sister is in.)

Daken: You better be okay.

*SKINT*

(He pops three of his claws, stabs them into the pod, & rips it open. Water pours out of it as does Laura.)

Daken: Laura? Laura? Sis!

Laura: [coughs] Brother...?

(He hugs her & she hugs him back.)

Laura: Where are we?

Daken: A building of science?

(They're suddenly hugged by a now free Natasha.)

Natasha: Ugh! Why didn't you two run when I told you?

Laura: And leave you?

Daken: Like we were really going to do that.

Natasha: Stubborn kids.

Yelena: I really hate to ruin the moment we really should be leaving. Your mother and I don't have healing factors.

Natasha: Right. Up you two.

Laura: Where's daddy?

Yelena: I'm sure your father will meet us outside.

Guard: Hey!

(A guard aims his rifle at them but before he can fire, Laura leaps at him...)

*SKINT, STAB*

(She stabs all four of her claws into the guard's chest. Once she pulls out her claws from the guard's chest, it's revealed that she now has adamantium claws.)

Laura: Whoa.

Daken: You would get adamantium claws like dad.

Yelena: Admire claws later please.

Natasha: Let's listen to your aunt.

(Y/N & Creed are shown slashing each other while they're both on fire. Zander is also shown scrambling through the fire only to be...)

*STAB*

(Stab through the heart with three adamantium claws.)

Logan: Remember me, Zander?

Zander: ...

(Logan retracts his claws as Zander's corpse hits the ground. Cut to the fight between Wolverine & Sabretooth.)

Sabretooth: *on his knees as his tongue heals back*

(Y/N walks towards Creed as his face heals from slash.)

*KICK*

(Y/N kicks Creed in the face.)

Sabretooth: [grunts]

(Y/N puts his fist under Creed's chin with his head between the first & third claw.)

Sabretooth: You...really are the Savage Wolverine. Go ahead, try and end me! But if you don't, know this. I swear I'll track down every livin' thing you ever cared about one way or the other. Your Avenger pals...Your sister-in-law...Then I'll get my hands on your family again. And I'll make 'em suffer a good long time before I kill 'em!

Wolverine: [snarls]

*EXPLOSION*

(One last big explosion takes out Alkali-Transigen completely with Y/N, Creed, & Logan still inside. Cut to Natasha, Yelena, Laura, & Daken watching the explosion from outside.)

Daken: He made it out, right?

Laura: I hope so.

Natasha: You two listen to me. Even if your father didn't make it out, your aunt and I have seen him survive much worse.

Yelena: What your mother said.

(The smoke begins to clear. They all scan through the smoke to see if Y/N is there somewhere.)

Laura & Daken: Dad!

(They run towards their father while Natasha & Yelena run after them. They're all now close enough to see Y/N fully...)

Wolverine: [growls]

Yelena: Uh, Natasha?

Natasha: Kids, wait!

(Laura & Daken stop where they are.)

Natasha: Killer?

(She makes her way to Y/N, stepping over Creed in the process.)

Natasha: Killer. (Y/N). It's over. We're all safe.

(She's now face to face with him.)

Wolverine: [sniffs]

(He comes back to his senses.)

(Y/N): [sighs] Sorry about that. I went a bit feral there. [chuckles] Didn't--

(She kisses him & of course he kisses her back.)

(Y/N): Mean to scare ya.

Natasha: I don't scare easily.

(Daken & Laura hug their parents.)

(Y/N): Oof! You two are getting strong.

Daken: It's because of Laura.

(Y/N): Huh?

Daken: Show him.

*SKINT*

(She pops her claws, showing her father that they're now adamantium.)

(Y/N): Even more like me now. Heh. Not gonna give me a hug, Yelena?

Yelena: Nah, I'm good. I'll just give you a head pat later.

(Y/N): Tch.

(He hears something behind him & turns to see a slowly healed Logan.)

Natasha: Who's that?

(Y/N): Give me a second.

(He walks up to Logan.)

Logan: I see that your family is all right.

(Y/N): They are. Thanks to you.

Logan: No need to thank me, son. Sorry--

(Y/N): No, it's okay.

(He looks back at his family then back at his father.)

(Y/N): Would you like to meet your daughter-in-law, her sister, and your grandkids?

Logan: I'd love to.

(The two wolverines walk up to Natasha, Laura, Daken, & Yelena.)

(Y/N): So, this is my real father, Logan.

(They're all shocked to hear this.)

(Y/N): Yeah, we'll explain later.

(Natasha & Yelena look back & forth between the two.)

Yelena: The resemblance is uncanny.

Natasha: It really is.

Yelena: Tramp.

Logan: "Tramp?"

(Y/N): I'll explain that later.

(Laura and Daken hesitantly walk up to Logan as he kneels down to them.)

Laura: You're our grandfather?

Logan: I am.

(Laura hugs him and so does Daken right after him.)

Logan: This is nice.

Two Months Later

(We see Y/N sitting in a chair, talking to someone.)

Dr. Raynor: So, Mr. Maximoff, are you still having nightmares?

(Y/N): [sighs]

Dr. Raynor: (Y/N), I asked you a question. Are you still having nightmares?

(Y/N): No.

Dr. Raynor: You're either a better liar than your friend Bucky or you're really not having nightmares anymore.

(Y/N): It's the ladder.

Dr. Raynor: Now, tell me why you're here.

(Y/N): You know why I'm here.

Dr. Raynor: I'd like to hear it from you.

(Y/N): Okay. Well, Natasha thought it would be a good idea if I talked to someone about Wanda, my sister's death hence why I'm here. Plus, Bucky recommended you.

Dr. Raynor: That's not why you're here.

(Y/N): It's not?

Dr. Raynor: It's not. It's easy to pop your claws out of your fists, right?

(Y/N): Right?

Dr. Raynor: Telling me why you're here should be as easy as popping your claws.

(Y/N): Nice analogy there.

Dr. Raynor: (Y/N).

(Y/N): Okay, okay. [deep breath] I'm here because...I would like to know how do I move on with my life after my sister's death.

Dr. Raynor: You were able to move on with your life after Pietro's death. How is this different from Wanda's?

(Y/N): Pietro's death wasn't my fault!

Dr. Raynor: You blame yourself for your sister's death. Why? She literally pushed you away.

(Y/N): It's not that simple. If I was a better brother to her then she wouldn't be in that situation.

Dr. Raynor: You don't know that.

(Y/N): You're right. I don't. I just...don't understand.

Dr. Raynor: Don't understand what?

(Y/N): *a tear rolls down his face* I don't understand why she didn't take my hand.

Dr. Raynor: Maybe she thought that she didn't deserve your hand. Maybe in her own way, she was finally moving on. Just like you should.

(Y/N): I don't know how.

Dr. Raynor: Yes, you do. Moving on is a part of life. Whether good or bad.

(Y/N): [sighs]

Dr. Raynor: Wouldn't Wanda want you to move on?

(Cut to Y/N outside the building where he met with Dr. Raynor. Walking down the sidewalk to see Yelena leaning against a car.)

(Y/N): Why are you here?

Yelena: I'm your ride.

(Y/N): I'd rather walk.

Yelena: Come on. Get in--

(Y/N): Yelena, I swear to God if you call me a dog...I'm really not in the mood for it.

Yelena: No, (Y/N). Natasha told me about Wanda.

(Y/N): She did?

Yelena: Yes.

(She walks up to him & wraps her arms around him in a hug.)

Yelena: You probably already know this but you're not alone in this. You can even talk to me about it if you want. I know we don't get along but--

(He hugs her back.)

(Y/N): *teary eyed* Thank you.

Yelena: Anytime, (Y/N). Anytime.

(Cut to the Maximoff Household where we see Alexei arm wrestling Logan, Yelena & Melina are playing with Laura & Daken, Natasha & Y/N are watching from their porch. Though, Y/N seems to be lost in thought.)

Natasha: Killer?

(Y/N): Uh? Yeah?

Natasha: You okay? Zoned out for a second.

(Y/N): I'm okay. It's just so peaceful.

Natasha: It is. Are you sure?

(He kisses her.)

(Y/N): I am.

Natasha: *smiles* Good.

(She stands up & joins in with her sister & mother in playing with her kids. After watching them for a bit, Y/N stands up for himself.)

(Y/N): Can't let them have all the fun, can I?

(He joins his wife in playing with their kids.)

After The Credits

Sokovia

(Y/N stares at the Sokovia Memorial.)

(Y/N): So, uh...[clears throat] I'm supposed to move on but in some cases I can't. This being one of them. And that's okay I think. But if I want to be a better friend, husband, and father...I have to take some steps forward. Doesn't matter if the steps are small...or big.

(He places a picture of Wanda next to the picture he left.)

(Y/N): I'll always miss you, Wanda. But I know you're watching over me, Nat, Laura, and Daken.

(He then takes out the Savage Wolverine suit she made for him.)

(Y/N): I'll come back for this when I'm ready.

(He walks away from the memorial as the camera zooms out the picture of Pietro, picture of Wanda, and the Savage Wolverine suit.)

After More Credits

The Raft

(Valentina Allegra is shown standing in front of a cell & talking to the person inside the cell.)

Valentina: You went claw for claw with the Wolverine. Didn't win though. Bummer. Makes me wonder, how are you taking that loss?

Creed: Not well. But I have a feeling that he and I are destined to fight forever.

Valentina: I like the sound of that. I'll be in touch.

Creed: I'm sure you will.

RayTheRipper: So, what'd you guys think? Worth the wait? I hope so 😅 It's interview chapters from here on out unless I do Moon Knight or any other MCU show or movie! Until next time, peace! ✌🏽
