'Take off your coat.' Said Logan while parking the car near Lake Louise where they will begin their training. 'Dad, are you crazy! It's snowing and freezing

out there!' Jamie exclaimed, he couldn't believe his father was making him take off his coat in the middle of the freezing winter. Logan went out of the car and

opened the door on the other side, getting his son out. 'Hey, if you think you are tough with your claws, you will be fine without your coat on while we go running

on this trail.' Said Logan. 'Dad! I'm going to get froze bites!' explained Jamie while taking off his coat unwillingly. 'And you'll heal.' Replied Logan who is now locking

the car and heading to the trail with his shivering son on the other side. 'I hate you!' pouted the boy, who is trying to keep himself warm tugging to his father's

leather jacket. Logan stopped and asked, 'Well, we can turn this into the spanking of your life, if you don't want to do this.' 'I think I'll stick with this.' Said the boy

quickly. 'That's what I thought.' Chuckled Logan, patting his son on the shoulder and gazing out to the beautiful scenery of the Plain of Six Glaciers.

'Alright, we are going to take a run from here, we'll stop when you see Mount Lefroy.' Said Logan. 'And, if you're not faster than me, you'll be doing 500 push ups

in the freezing cold after.' Logan didn't wait for his son to reply, started running off. Jamie's eyes went wide open; he needed a minute to digest what his father just

told him. He had to run faster than the wolverine. 'Hey! That's cheating!' shouted Jamie who is trying to catch up after accepting the statement is a fact, he is not

ready to do 500 push ups. Finally, Jamie was catching up, of course Logan slowed down for his pup. Jamie was sweating already even though he didn't have his

coat on and it's freezing cold. After around 25 minutes of running, the father and son reached Mount Lefroy. Jamie was too tired, he laid on the snow while

catching his breath and stuffed a pile of snow into his mouth as he was too thirsty. 'Alright, time for push ups, 200.' Ordered Logan who only allowed a minute of

resting for his son. 'But you said if I'm faster than you I don't have to!' exclaimed Jamie. 'I said 200 I didn't say 500.' Said Logan trying hard not to give out a

smirk. Jamie slowly got up from the ground and resumed in a push up position. 'I should have taken the spanking.' Pouted the boy who was glaring at his father's

smirk.

Logan required his son to do 50 push ups in the morning and 50 push ups before bedtime, so 200 pushups shouldn't be that difficult for Jamie. '197...198...199...

200, good job.' Said Logan, patting his son on his back. 'Now we gotta run to Mount Victoria, same rules.' Said Logan who again started running off. 'Wait up!' said

the exhausted boy who just got up from the ground doing push ups. Jamie couldn't feel his hands as it was on the ground for too long. 'He better bring me to the

steak house after this!' thought Jamie angrily while catching up. Logan always treats his son to a steak house after a long day exercising, that is the only part

Jamie likes about training with his father.

' 500, start now.' Said Logan who was a few seconds earlier than Jamie to reach Mount Victoria. 'I ain't doing no 500 push ups!' yelled Jamie who thinks his dad is

being completely unfair. 'Well then, get your butt over here.' Dared Logan. Jamie who was breathing heavily, angry at his dad, knowing that his father is pushing

his limits, growled, ' I ain't taking no hiding or push up! I'm gonna beat you up cause this ain't fair!' Jamie extended his claws ready to beat up his father with all

his determination. Logan did not extend his claws and said, ' I don't want to hurt you.' 'I'm already hurt!' cried Jamie, holding his tears from falling, 'you're being

unfair! Why is it always me! Why doesn't Tyree needs to do all this!' Logan never thought his son would think of it this way, he didn't know Jamie was hurt, all he

wanted to do is to train his son to be tougher. 'Hey champ, c'mere.' Said Logan softly. ' Am I getting a spanking?' asked the kid who was whimpering, skeptical

about his father's 'come here' statement. 'No you're not, come here.' Replied Logan, giving his boy a tiny smile. Jamie walked up, Logan gave his son a bear hug,

realizing his son was cold as hell, completely forgetting that he was not wearing any coat. Logan immediately took off his leather jacket and put it on Jamie. ' Look,

I wanted you to be strong, that's all, Tyree is your younger brother, you should be protecting him, that's why you are doing all these alright. Plus, you get to have

the most incredible steak in the whole Alberta and Tyree got none.' Explained Logan, 'so what do you say, finish up that 500 and we'll go for the steak.' Jamie

knows that's all his father wants, he didn't really meant what he said, he was just too tired to do another push up section. 'I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't mean what I

said and I didn't mean to chase Tyree around with my claws. I'm sorry.' Cried Jamie who was clenching to his father's embrace. 'That's okay, pup, finish your 500

push up and we're even.' Said Logan smoothing his son's back.

Logan knows he is asking his son to do much more than an eight year old should but he never knows what the future hold, what if Striker comes back, forcing him

into doing another of those 'for your country' tasks or those anti-mutant group discovers them. He has to make sure his son can protect himself and the family for

him. '497...498...come on champ! You can do it! 499...one more come on! 500!' Logan who was standing beside his son counting and encouraging his son to keep

going. 'Way to go Tiger.' Logan said while ruffling his son's hair. Jamie was too tired to speak, he just gave his dad a tiny smile while catching his breath. 'Head for

the steak?' asked the proud papa. The grinning pup who is still having a hard time to speak, replied, 'Head for the steak.'
