Logan’s POV

As I saw Sabertooth clutching his head and roaring in pain, I immediately knew that it was a psychic attack.

I looked around and finally found Emma in an inconspicuous corner of the police station fiercely attempting to attack Sabertooth’s mind.

I cautiously approached her and then asked, “ Is it working?”

“Sabertooth has received training to resist psychic attacks. Moreover, his mind is also resistant against psychic attacks for some reason. It is like I am sitting on a wild bull who is constantly trying to knock me off.” Emma replied, frustration evident in her tone. “It is difficult to control his mind.”

I was just thinking of my next move when suddenly Kurt materialised next to me.

“How can I help, Wolverine?” Kurt asked, eager to help.

“Get all the civilians out of here immediately.” I instantly instructed him without wasting any time. As long as the civilians were here, it was difficult for us to fight Sabertooth with our full power.

Having instructed Kurt to handle the civilians, I readied to engage Sabertooth myself. My attack coordinated with Emma’s psychic assault was our best bet to take Sabertooth down.

“Boom!!”

Before I could make my move however, a deafening sound of a gunshot rang through the air. I looked around to see that a brave policeman had shot at Sabertooth while he was trying to deal with Emma’s psychic assault.

Unfortunately, I knew Sabertooth’s powers and personality and this act only played in Sabertooth’s favour. The wound caused by the gunshot healed quickly while the pain caused by it only helped Sabertooth focus his attention through the mental assault towards the person who shot him.

In an instant, Sabertooth lunged towards the policeman who had shot him. I ran in a bid to intercept the attack but I was too far from them.

Yet, before Sabertooth could reach the policeman, he was struck by a bolt of red lightning.

My eyes followed the path of the lightning to find Peter in his unique cloaked outfit.

Good, now that Peter was here, it would be much easier to subdue Sabertooth.

Against a person like Sabertooth who had a healing factor and fought in close combat, it was better to use long range attacks to subdue him which we had a lack of before Peter’s arrival.

Peter’s POV

Looks like I returned just in time. I was delayed a little because we had to tie Mystique properly before I could return. Fortunately, nothing bad happened while I was gone.

“This much is nothing.” Sabertooth said as he roared in pain. I could see Emma in a corner, her hands on her head as she continuously attacked Sabertooth’s mind.

On the other hand, I could already see the lightning burns he had received after being struck by my lightning healing quickly.

Although I had shot a rather weak bolt of lightning in a bid to immobilize him, I had not expected his healing factor to be this formidable.

“How do we deal with him? This guy is like a cockroach.” I asked Logan as he had earlier experience fighting this guy.

“We can only continue attacking this guy until his mind can’t hold out against the double assault against both his mind and body.” Logan explained that we had to wear his mind out. There was no other way to defeat this guy.

“Then, you don't need to attack, Logan. I have an attack which will be painful enough to knock him out.” When I had learnt this move, I had never thought that there would come a day where I would have to use it against a human.

“Be ready, Emma. As soon as I strike him, hit him with your full power immediately.” I said to Emma as red lightning started surging through my fist. Emma could only nod her head because she was busy attacking Sabertooth’s mind.

As soon as the move was ready, I lunged at Sabertooth and struck at his abdomen while dodging his wild strikes.

“Ahhh!!” As I struck Sabertooth, my red lightning surged inside his body through my fist, causing him to scream in pain. Then, soon after he was knocked out because of Emma’s following attack.

What I had used now was the move I had learnt back in Ta Lo. Combined with my red lightning, it was quite a cruel move.

If I had used it at full power, the opponent’s body would be torn apart and burnt by my red lightning coursing through it. Although I had used it at quite a less amount of power, many of Sabertooth’s nerves would have still been fried by my attack.

“You did great, bub. Who knew how much time we would have taken to subdue that cockroach if you were not here? Someone could have got an seriously hurt during that time.” Logan congratulated me as he patted my back.

“Now, let’s move. We have already got quite delayed.” Logan said to us as he hoisted Sabertooth over his shoulder.

All of us let out a collective sigh of relief that this chaotic mission was finally going to be over.

We made our exit from the now quiet police station. Once we were in an area free of any people, I opened a portal and all of us were there in front of the X-jet.

“You alright, Emma.” I asked Emma as we boarded the X-jet. After all, she was the one who was constantly attacking Sabertooth’s mind.

“I am alright, Peter. Just need a little rest. You don’t need to worry. Still, thanks for asking.” Emma replied to me with a slight smile.

“Although the mission was quite chaotic, I am glad that everyone is safe.” Ororo said to us from the pilot’s seat.

“Seriously, when I saw Peter returning with Mystique, I was quite surprised. Then, I learnt that Sabertooth was also here. Do you all know how worried I was?” Ms. Ororo had been truly worried when I had reported to her what had happened.

“If Peter had not stopped me saying that I needed to watch over Mystique, I would have seriously joined the battle. I am so glad that all of you defeated Sabertooth without any injuries.” Ms. Ororo likely felt guilty that she could not help us in such a dangerous battle despite being nearby.

“Still, now that everyone is here. It is time to take off. All of you, sit down and ready your seat belts.” Ms. Ororo ordered as she started the X-jet.

As the X-jet flew into the sky, my first mission was finally over.
