When the name of his wife from many years ago was mentioned some memories flooded back and he tensed. Then the question came and anger flashed in his eyes for a moment before he managed to calm down, keeping his claws sheathed. He took a deep breath and slowly stood up. This certainly wasn't what he had been expecting from Daken. Logan didn't say anything as he walked to his desk and picked up a small remote. He pointed it at the corner of the room and pressed a button, shutting off the security camera. He didn't know if anyone was watching him at that moment, but that wasn't why he'd done it. He simply didn't want a record of this, and he didn't think it would turn into a fight.<br/><br/>He turned back to Daken and slowly walked toward him. He spoke in a slow, calm tone even though he was constantly fighting back the emotional pain and anger. "I have wanted to have this conversation with you for a while, but I knew that you would need to come to me on your own if it was ever going to happen. You would never believe me if I went to you. Romulus has been lying to you for your entire life. He is arrogant and in a moment of arrogance he told me everything." He stopped before getting too close to Daken and stood there, looking into his son's eyes.<br/><br/>"I did not kill Itsu. I loved her. When I learned that she was pregnant it made me very happy. That was probably my mistake. I had many enemies early in my life and I've learned that Romulus is one of them. Every time I was happy or in love he would make sure my happiness ended. He would have the woman I love killed. Yet, this time, he did more. I had to prove myself to the village so I could be a father and that involved combat. During the combat another of my enemies caused an accident that led to me unintentionally killing one of my opponents. I was banished from the village, but I had to go see Itsu before I left. I returned home and she was already dead. You hadn't been born yet, so with your mother dead I thought you were dead as well. What I learned later was that the Winter Soldier was the one who killed her, under assignment from the Russians, but clearly sent by Romulus. I can only assume that Romulus took you from your mother's womb after she died."<br/><br/>He turned away, hating the painful memories. He almost wished those memories were still locked away in his mind. With a sigh he continued to speak. "Romulus has a plan for us. He has been manipulating members of our family line for many generations. He is getting old and he desires a successor. Someone to take over for him when he dies. He has attempted to turn us into what he thinks would be perfect and to determine which of us will be his successor he wants us to fight to the death. It is why he manipulated me for much of my life and why he took you and attempted to teach you to be just like him." He turned back to Daken again and wondered if his son would believe him. He certainly hoped he did.
