We all got shame for things we done. I got more than most.
And yet you keep on. How do you keep going, knowing what you know? What you've done?
I don't know any better'n you do, kid, what makes me tick. I fight every day with what I got inside. And every night I go to bed regretting all the things I done wrong in this world. And when I wake up, I decide today to try and do things right.

Synopsis for "Underneath"
At a bar Logan enjoys a drink, commenting the atmosphere while a regular-skinned Elixir came to talk with him. A young lady then offers Logan a drink and they end up sleeping together, in order to ask him help against a mutant exploiting the Dregs, depowered Morlocks. Logan tried to get Cyclops involved but eventually refuse to team-up. Logan then goes off on the mission and Elixir comes along. At the Salton Sea, Logan and Elixir encounter the Morlocks now known as the Dregs. Logan kills two aggressive guards. Finding other Dregs, they are somehow sick. Logan then finds Meltdown and after hearing his story, he then proceeds to kill him. But it is Elixir along with Eva, whom hurt him, Logan then unsheathes his claws and then kills Meltdown. Then speaks to Elixir, of what makes him tick and how he regrets what he know and done, and how he can change it.
