The Phoenix

**An Unknown Dimension**

Logan found himself standing in an unfamiliar, surreal dimension. The landscape was a vast expanse of swirling cosmic energy, a mix of fiery reds, oranges, and golden hues that stretched as far as the eye could see. The very air seemed to vibrate with power, crackling with a primordial energy that was almost palpable. Here, reality itself felt mutable, as if the dimension could reshape at the whim of a thought.

Floating before him, her presence both awe-inspiring and intimidating, was a woman with fiery red hair and glowing red eyes. She resembled Sophie Turner but possessed an otherworldly beauty that seemed to radiate power and intensity.

Logan immediately recognized her for who she was — the Phoenix Force, with Jean Grey as its host.

"Fuck me," Logan muttered under his breath, realizing the gravity of the situation. He was face-to-face with one of the most powerful cosmic entities in existence, and to make things even more complicated, he felt a strange, undeniable connection to her — a connection that felt strikingly similar to the bond he shared with Laura. It was clear; they were mates.

The Phoenix, sensing his realization, tilted her head slightly and smiled, a faint, amused glimmer in her glowing eyes. "It is interesting to see someone teleport here, but not surprising considering the source of your arrival," she said, her voice a melodious echo that resonated through the dimension. Her gaze shifted to the Tesseract glowing faintly in Logan's hand.

Logan tightened his grip on the cosmic artifact, unsure of how to respond to a being of such immense power.

The Phoenix's chuckle was soft, almost melodic, as she floated closer to him, her eyes narrowing slightly. Without warning, Logan's clothes were reduced to ashes, leaving him completely exposed.

He stood there, naked but unashamed. Logan had nothing to be embarrassed about.

The Phoenix's eyes roamed over him, assessing, challenging. Logan could feel her probing his very essence, testing his limits. A heat began to build up in his body, but his healing factor worked immediately, rapidly regenerating any damage she caused.

Outside it looked like nothing happened, but inside his body is continuously regenerating the parts that are turned to ash by the Red haired women.

The Phoenix raised an eyebrow, impressed. "Alright, you are strong enough to be the fated one of this version of my host. I approve of you, Little Wolf. Keep in touch," she declared, her voice filled with an ancient authority.

Before Logan could respond, she leaned in and captured his lips with hers. The kiss was intense, a surge of heat and power coursing through him.

Her tongue played with his, and Logan, never one to back down from a challenge, matched her fervor with equal intensity. Their kiss was a battle, a meeting of primal forces that set the very air around them ablaze.

The Phoenix pulled away, her eyes alight with amusement and something else—perhaps approval. She waved her hand, and a metal object, shaped like a prism and glowing with a faint inner light, materialized in her grasp. "Use this to grow your strength, Little Wolf," she said, placing the prism in Logan's hand. "You need to be strong in the future to be a match for me."

Logan felt the weight of the prism in his hand, understanding that it was more than just a gift—it was a challenge, a test of how he will use this object.

The Phoenix glanced at the Tesseract again, and it began to glow, reacting to her gaze.

A portal opened behind Logan, swirling with cosmic energy, and before he could react, he felt himself being pulled backward.

The Phoenix smiled, a final enigmatic expression, as the portal sucked him away, leaving him with more questions than answers.

Logan emerged from the portal with a rough landing, crashing down onto the soft forest floor. He was completely naked, clutching the Tesseract in one hand and the metal prism given to him by the Phoenix in the other. As he hit the ground, he quickly released both items, letting them fall to the forest floor.

"Not looking to meet any more cosmic entities," he muttered to himself, shaking his head. One encounter with the Phoenix was more than enough.

Logan knelt down and picked up the metal prism. It was silver in color and appeared ordinary at first glance, but Logan knew better. He decided to test its durability, gripping it tightly and applying all of his immense strength. To his surprise, the metal didn't even bend or show the slightest sign of yielding. "Damn, this thing's strong," he thought, realizing that whatever the Phoenix had given him was no ordinary piece of metal.

His eyes then shifted to the Tesseract, which lay on the ground with its glow now subdued and back to normal. He approached it cautiously, using a few sticks to lift it up, wary of its unpredictable nature. Logan looked around, trying to get his bearings. He realized he was in a dense forest, the trees towering high above him, their leaves rustling softly in the wind.

Using his heightened senses, Logan began to make his way out of the forest, moving quickly and quietly. He grabbed some large leaves and fashioned a makeshift cover for himself. He had no intention of giving any women a heart attack or making any men jealous due to his physique.

As he continued through the forest, he eventually spotted what appeared to be some ancient buildings with Chinese architecture. The structures were nestled amidst the trees, and he could see people dressed as monks, collecting herbs nearby. Deciding that these monks might help him figure out where he was and how he could get back, Logan approached them cautiously.

**Meanwhile, in Logan's World**

It had been several months since Captain America and Logan had been declared dead by the government. The news of their deaths had spread far and wide, and ceremonies had been held in their honor, complete with speeches and medals. Laura watched these events unfold with barely contained rage. She knew in her heart that Logan was still alive; she could feel it deep within her.

It took considerable effort from both Selene and Hank to calm her down. They had to constantly remind her not to lash out at the people who insisted Logan had died. Selene had even tried using her magic to locate Logan, but she could find no trace of him in their dimension. She explained this to Laura and Hank, suggesting that Logan was lost in another dimension, beyond her reach.

Laura, her eyes filled with determination, called for a meeting with the entire pack. She stood before them with Hank and Selene by her side, her gaze steady and unwavering.

"Logan is currently not here," Laura began, her voice strong and clear. "He didn't die, but he is lost in another dimension."

The crowd gasped, murmurs of concern and confusion spreading through the pack.

Laura's eyes glowed blue, and a hush fell over the group. "But fear not. He will come back to us. It doesn't matter how much time it takes; we will search for him, and I know he will try to come back to us as well."

Selene and Hank nodded in agreement, stepping forward. Hank revealed a container filled with several blue serums. "Before Logan disappeared, he gave Selene and Hank a job," Laura continued, her voice firm. "He wanted to ensure that our DNA could not be altered or fall into the wrong hands. Logan didn't want his pack to be used for experiments, so with the combined efforts of Selene's magic and Hank's science, They've created an alchemical potion: the DNA Lock Serum."

Laura and Hank distributed the serums among the pack members, each one taking a vial and drinking it down.

Laura and Hank also took the serum themselves, setting an example for the rest of the pack.

"We will stand proud and be ready to welcome Logan when he returns to us in the future," Laura declared.

The pack members raised their heads in a collective howl, their voices ringing through the air with determination and unity.

Laura smiled at the sound looking proudly at her pack, thinking, 'Logan, wherever you are, please come back to me soon.'

As the Second World War drew to a close, the Allied forces celebrated their victory over the Axis powers. The contributions of brave soldiers, scientists, and strategic operations were instrumental in bringing down Hitler's regime and dismantling Hydra's sinister plans. Among the notable heroes of this war were the Howling Commandos, Captain America, The Wolverine and his close allies.

The defeat of the Red Skull, whose ambitions had far surpassed that of any human, marked a significant turning point in the war.

His plans were thwarted thanks to the bravery of Captain America, Logan, and the rest of the Howling Commandos. Despite being declared dead after the climactic battle, many believed that Captain America's sacrifice ensured that the world would not fall under Hydra's tyrannical rule.

In the aftermath of the war, the Allied nations recognized the need for a more unified, organized defense against emerging threats, particularly those with advanced technology or supernatural elements like Hydra.

There was a growing awareness that the world had entered a new era—one where threats could arise that were beyond the capabilities of any single nation to handle alone.

From this understanding, the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division—better known as S.H.I.E.L.D.—was born. The organization was conceived as a global defense initiative, designed to protect the Earth from all threats, both known and unknown.

Peggy Carter, a seasoned intelligence officer and one of the co-founders of the Strategic Scientific Reserve (SSR), was instrumental in the formation of S.H.I.E.L.D. She was appointed as one of its first directors.

Peggy's experience in counter-intelligence and her firsthand encounters with Hydra's advanced technology made her an ideal leader for this new organization. She was known for her no-nonsense approach and unwavering dedication to justice.

Howard Stark, a brilliant inventor and industrialist, joined Peggy as a co-director. His technological expertise and vast resources were invaluable assets to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Howard was driven by a vision of a safer world, where technology could be harnessed to protect humanity rather than destroy it. His development of advanced weaponry and tools for espionage would lay the groundwork for many of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s future innovations.

He is also trying to find Steve and Logan as he considers them as his best friends.

Alongside Peggy and Howard, several other prominent figures joined the nascent organization, including Chester Phillips and Colonel Flynn.

Together, they built S.H.I.E.L.D. into a formidable intelligence and defense agency, recruiting the best minds and operatives to their cause.

The early days were marked by a sense of urgency and determination as they worked to secure the remnants of Hydra technology and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.

As S.H.I.E.L.D. began to take shape, Peggy Carter reached out to Laura and the Crimson Moon Pack, previously known as the Crescent Pack, extending an invitation for them to join the organization.

Peggy knew of their strength, their unique abilities, and the critical role they had played in the war against Hydra. She saw them as potential allies who could bring valuable skills and insights to S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, Laura politely declined the offer. Despite their respect for Peggy and the mission of S.H.I.E.L.D., Laura and her pack had different priorities.

Their primary focus was on finding Logan, who had mysteriously vanished after the final battle with the Red Skull.

Moreover, Laura valued the pack's independence and was wary of becoming entangled in the bureaucratic complexities of a large organization like S.H.I.E.L.D.

"We have our own path to follow," Laura explained to Peggy. "While we appreciate the offer and respect what you're building here, our loyalty lies with Logan and our pack. We'll continue to protect the world in our way, from the shadows if need be."

Peggy understood Laura's decision and respected it. She knew that Laura and her pack were formidable allies, even if they chose to operate outside the official bounds of S.H.I.E.L.D.

As S.H.I.E.L.D. continued to expand, it established itself as a cornerstone of global security, tasked with monitoring and managing extraordinary threats.

The organization's focus was not just on counter-intelligence and defense but also on scientific research and technological innovation.

Under the leadership of Peggy, Howard, and the other directors, S.H.I.E.L.D. would go on to play a pivotal role in shaping the world's response to emerging threats, both terrestrial and extraterrestrial.

And while Laura and her pack continued their search for Logan and pursued their own path, their legacy and influence would still be felt in the new world that was being built—a world that would soon discover the existence of heroes far beyond their imagination.
