I remember when it happened to me. Magneto ripped the adamantium right outta my body. Hurt like hell. For a while there, I thought I'd never make it back. Felt useless. Like I couldn't pull my weight in tobacco. But I had Storm. She'd been through the same thing once.. She reminded me of something that I'd forgotten, bein' near-indestructible for so long. That I might not be the same Wolverine, but damm if I wasn't still Logan.
