adamantiumlonerLogan has been gone awhile. Nothing new there. While the rest of the hero community was fighting each other and most of the X-men were sitting out he'd gone to look for the one who'd started this whole mess in the first place. The guy who'd blown up all those people, all those kids, and gotten away afterwards.
He tracked the man down and found out that there was more to it then just some superhuman punk going nuclear on reality-tv. There was someone giving the guy a boost, and keeping him out of the reach of those looking for him. So, Logan continued on past Nitro and to those who were supplying him with the MGH that hopped him up enough so he was able to cause an explosion like that. And Logan took care of them too.
Things like that take time, they kept him out of the war which is probably for the best in many respects. It meant he wasn't out there possibly killing more heroes. It also kept him from being there when some of the X-men left the 'neutral' ground they'd been standing on and headed for the front lines. It meant he wasn't there when one of them was caught.
He heard about it of course. He also heard when the riot took place and that X-man was rescued by another. She didn't make it back to the mansion though. Which made sense, first place the authorities would look. The problem was he couldn't find her himself. Being the best there is at what you do should count for something, especially when trying to track a friend but there was no sign, no trail to trace her by. She was gone.
So he came back looking for answers. And the one man who should have them.
Logan is there waiting, standing in the middle of the room, arms crossed when the door to Piotr's room opens and the big Russian walks in. No one else knows he's come back. He's not interested in any of them at the moment. Just the tin man stepping in.

But he's still flesh and bone when he lets his duffel bag drop to the floor.
"Logan."

Logan deserves to know if anyone does. The X-Men are a family; they have been since the old days when most of them still believed the world could be saved for good. But some are more family than others.

"Another world. With friends."
"It is a long story."

The answer is, not very.
Only part of that is because she is safe is all he's told some of the other people in this mansion, and all he intends to tell them.
Piotr leads the way down the hall. "She calls herself Kate now," he says finally, when they're a few steps away from a doorway that will do.

...Except that it doesn't.
"You will like Milliways, I think. It has beer."
