Armour plates grew over his body, shielding him from the spray of bullets. The building shook as the siren blaring red.. this was unusual normal when by escape they are blue.
Laura was held in his grasp she was smirking, shaking his head he turned his sight to the matter at hand.
Looking at his opponents his mind instinctively cleared and his body moved. His shield arm expanded as he charged.
“Fall back-“
The men did not even get to finish the order as my plated shield smashed his way through the firing squad. Screams of pain and bones snapping reached his ears as his helmet formed.
His mind was numb and inwardly he wondered why he was not freaking out over his actions.
Twin growling eyes took in the sight of the brutalised men he just smashed right though. ‘They would not care for me or Laura so why should I’.
These men... they brought it on themselves. So they deserve no pity.. Right?
Running past them he bright his shield arm back and started morphing it.
“Laura what’s happening?”
“Facility under attack, evacuation in progress” she struggled in my arms so I let her down soon we were walking side by side. Looking at her back I saw a red glow on the back of her neck.

“Laura what is-“
“It’s a bomb cut it out now”
Pain laced through my hand, the hissing sound and smell of flesh being singed reached my nostrils. The armour on my hand grew larger and the pain lessened forcing me to dip deeper into the fire.
"It won't be much longer give it a minute or two"
"I will keep a lookout, they have not activated my collar" Laura's voice came out behind me she was standing guard. "The invasion must have them scattered and distracted"
"That's good maybe it's shield or the X Men" After smashing through the guards we forced our way into a basement where they keep the furnace... Why they had a furnace I had no idea maybe for testing a mutant that was resistant to fire
The moment I mentioned X men, Laura took in a large whiff "Is Logan here?" She was probably hoping to catch the familiar scent of her biological father.
"Maybe but once we get out we can make our way to the X-men" The thought of finally being free and having a warm place to rest set a smile on my armored face. "Professor Xavier will help us" My hand grew thicker and the pain was barely there I could no longer smell burning flesh, so I increased the heat of the flame making it blue. The pain returned but I endured it, after a dozen of times getting shot and experimented on has helped build a tolerance to pain.
"Are... you..sure?" her voice sounded uncertain
Turning slightly I placed my other hand on her shoulder making her body relax "Yes trust me, look if things don't go well we can always run to the Avengers or something" I hoped that the Avengers or the other hero teams were a thing and he was not just in the X men universe.
A minute passed and the blue flame no longer hurt, turning around I extended my claws. "It's time Laura."
Without hesitation my claws plunged into her.
BOOM!!!!
