Synopsis for "Duel"
Scarlett tells Alex to fly to the airport in Merida while Wolverine deduces where they are going from the ground. Logan finds the operative who blew up the fake hospital on the radio with Meltdown. He kills the operative, warns Meltdown he is coming, and steals the operative’s helicopter. Meltdown panics, but Dr. Neutron assures him their scheme is far from over. Meltdown takes an elevator to a special training facility 10,000 feet below their asylum hideout, uses a radioactive device to energize his powers, and fires energy blasts at simulated targets. He mulls over how to manipulate Havok until Neutron calls him with the next step in their plan. In Merida, Scarlett calls Neutron to report her progress, and she devises a trap for Wolverine. Afterward, she and Havok meet her contact and board a jet bound for Poland. At the asylum, Neutron and Meltdown discuss Scarlett’s growing feelings for Havok. Logan arrives at the Merida airport, and a clerk tells him Alex and Scarlett are staying in a nearby hotel. He finds their supposed room empty except for a device that shoots him with tasers and shocks him unconscious. Neutron’s operatives abduct him and brainwash him in preparation to ensnare Havok. In Poland, a guide leads Alex and Scarlett on horseback into the Carpathian Mountains and across the border into the Soviet Union. Three days later, they arrive at the fortress where Wolverine is supposedly being held. The guide takes off, and Havok insists on scouting the stronghold alone. He finds it empty and abandoned until Wolverine suddenly drops through the ceiling. Driven to a berserker state and screaming “Death!” repeatedly, Logan attacks Havok. He stabs Alex with his claws and is about to kill him when Alex retaliates with a plasma blast. Soon, Scarlett finds Havok distraught, cradling Logan’s seemingly dead body, and vowing revenge on whoever set them up.
