In a rare peaceful moment Logan is sitting on a log beside a river enjoying nature. He is interrupted by a young couple who appears to be lost. Logan’s sensitive sniffer can detect nine different lotions and deodorants and a strong dose of fear on the couple. He gives them directions and they head off in that direction talking about the “crazy mountain man”. Logan is feeling some sense of relief and joy when he is stabbed and sliced by these two androids in human skin.

As he’s getting sliced he’s wonder how he didn’t smell them, especially their blades. In an attempt to escape Logan jumps off a waterfalls and cuts off some of his own forearm. The two robot like creatures find the piece of flesh but not Logan. The old Wolverine is trying to figure out who sent these two and how they got Adamantium blades.

At a classified location, Yuriko aka Lady Deathstrike, is in a Vibranium glass containment unit. A scientist removes the piece of Logan’s forearm he cut off and puts it in a similar containment unit. Three other containment units have Domino, Warpath and Sabretooth written on them.

Logan does some library research and determines that he cannot just slash he way out of this new crisis, he need to use his mind. He goes out into the woods looking for Sabretooth, who draws first blood. Logan calms him down and tells him to smell, “you know when I’m telling the truth!” Victor Creed tells him about getting attacked by a cyborg creature who looked and smelled like a little kid.

They determine that both attacks had claws like Lady Deathstrike. Old man Logan suggests they work together since they were both beaten badly but Sabretooth doesn’t want to team up. Logan made sure that he would team up by getting picked up on security cameras on the way to Victor’s place. At that moment a cyborg killer with blades busts through his cabin.
