Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Naruto Or Marvel1
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Naruto blinked himself awake, very slowly lifting his body off the soft mattress under him.
Stretching his arms upward he gave a slight groan at the movement. Looking around he frowned as light filtered through plain white blinds glaring off the plain white tiles on the floor. "Great, another hospital."
Relaxing back into the white pillows behind him he sighed looking up at the fluorescent lights hanging from the ceiling. He hated hospitals, the sterile whitewashed rooms that never changed and the depressing feeling that hung over everyone inside. Yea, he definitely hated hospitals, and yet he always found himself stuck in one.
Six years he had been alive and in a biological standpoint, he was young, not even in double digits yet. Someone, his age should be looking forward to an entire life of living. Seeing new places, making new friends and maybe even fall in love and one day have a family of their own. Everyone except him that is because he was one of the many tragic stories you heard on the news or read about online.
Running a hand over the smooth hairless skin on his head he sighed again.
Cancer.
Diagnosed at the age of four he had lived the following two years of his life thinking the next day he might not live a full day. He didn't want to be stuck in the hospital for the last years of his life. He wanted to see and do as much as he could before he fell asleep forever as his mother used to say.
Instead, he had been poked and prodded by Doctors as they attempted to further his life. Curing him had been taken off last year so now it was just a matter of time before his body couldn't keep up and the disease claimed his life.
"Too bad I'm the only one who has accepted that fact." He thought as the door to his room opened, and his family walked in the usual sad but hopeful smiles adorning their faces.
"How are feeling today?" His dad, Minato Namikaze asked standing at the door as his mother, Kushina Uzumaki and his nine-year-old sister Naruko Uzumaki came to stand by his bed.
"Hi, little brother! I brought those comic book's you like to read all the time." Naruko said lifting up the plastic bag she had in her hands to show him what she brought.
Smiling he reached out and took the bag setting it in his lap to get a better look curious as to what she had picked from his rather extensive collection at home. Naruko had always been the more realistic of the two. Why read about fake things that could never happen when there books about history or animals that were educational and fun. He didn't care that there was no way someone would dress up as a bat and beat criminal up, he just thought the Batman was awesome, it didn't have to be real.
"Thank you Naruko," He said when he saw the bag had mostly his favorite, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle series. The Batcave was cool but turning the sewers of New York into the liar made the Turtles way cooler. New York was huge, so if they wanted to, they could've built an entire underground city. That was way better than a cave full of bats that could bite you.
"I also brought you some real books so make sure you read those too," Naruko said hopping up onto his bed to open the bag further.
Naruto was about to respond to the snark with an immature answer that he knew would get her riled up but before he could their mother cut in making him suppress a groan of annoyance.
"Off the bed sweetie, your brothers sick." She said in the same sad yet stern voice she used whenever they let Naruko visit him.
Naruto loved his mother. He really did. While Naruko was like his father, with her blonde hair and cool attitude, he took after their mother. Before he had been diagnosed he had the same fiery red hair she did and the just as fiery attitude.
Now she was just sad all the time when he saw her, and it sucked because he was old enough to know it wasn't his fault he was sick, but he still felt responsible every time she cried next to his bed when she thought he was sleeping.
"Mom it's fine if she's-" Naruto started before his dad interrupted.
"Kushina, the doctor wants to see us. Naruko you come to let Naruto get some rest."
"Actually, I just woke up so-" He started again until he was interrupted again. This time it was his mother.
"Sweetie you need all the rest you can get. We'll be back in after we talk to your doctor." His mother said patting his cheek before leading his sister out of the room.
Alone in the room again Naruto set the bag of comic and books next to him picking a TMNT comic to read while he waited for him family to return.
After the first three pages, he threw the comic down on his lap unable to focus on the story. Every time his family visited seemed like they stayed shorter and shorter. He knew they still loved him and it was probably hard to see him in the state he was. If the roles were reversed and his sister was in his place, thank god that wasn't the case, but if it was he didn't think he could handle seeing her slowly die like he was. "I wish they would just treat me like they use to."
"Naruto Uzumaki?"
Brought out of his thoughts Naruto looked up to the doorway were another Doctor was rapping his knuckles on the wood.
"Umm, I'm Naruto. And you are?" He asked confused.
His confusion must have shown on his face as the Doctor smiled stepping into the room. "Doctor Duncan at your service, the regular Doctor is currently speaking to your parents."
"Ok and you're here for?" Naruto questioned eased by the man's smile and posture. His regular Doctor, while he was at this Hospital, had been Doctor Reeds, a young rather clinical doctor who only said what was needed and always used a detached tone when speaking. This new Doctor didn't do that, and it was like a fresh of breath air to Naruto who was used to blank faces and dull tones.
Smiling Duncan pulled in a cart with needles and vials on top. "I'm going to sedate you so we can move you to the operating room. Your parents were just in, did they have time to explain what was going on before Doctor Reed's asked for them?"
"No, they didn't." Naruto shook his head negatively.
Filling one of the syringes with a blue liquid Doctor, Duncan smiled again rolling up the sleeves on Naruto's hospital gown. "It's a relatively new procedure used on patients with cancer. It's proven to be efficient, and your parents filed for you to be a candidate. Since your case was labeled fatal, you were approved, and now here we are."
"A new procedure?" Naruto rolled his eyes at the idea. He had been through enough groundbreaking methods with all the new state of the art equipment to know none of them worked. "OW!"
Naruto glared at Duncan who laughed at the look pushing the top of the syringe inducing him with whatever sedative was inside the now empty vial. "What the hell Doc."
"Sorry kido, it's easier to stick you when you don't tense up," Duncan said pulling the syringe out and placing it on the cart before turning back to Naruto. "You are going to start feeling a little dizzy in the next few seconds. That's totally normal, and a few seconds after that you're going to fall asleep. The sedative I used was extremely potent, so you shouldn't wake up until after the procedure is complete."
Staring a the doctor Naruto's eyes blinked shut a few times as the image of the doc started to get fuzzy. The room began spinning slowly at first before speeding up, and Naruto felt his eyes roll back, and his head followed suit landing softly on the pillows as he faded off to sleep.
...
Slowly regaining consciousness, Naruto opened his eyes, his face creasing in confusion at the dark metal above him. He didn't remember that being there before. "Wasn't I at?" Shaking his head, he tried to think of the answer to that question. Where was he at? And why couldn't he remember?"
"Ah, finally waking up are you. Good, this will make things go smoother from now on."
Looking around for the voice that had just spoken Naruto's confusion rose as the room he was in was completely empty except for him. Trying to move he frowned as his body was held in place by leather straps placed on both his arms and feet, as well as across his chest. Struggling against the restraints he tried to think of how he got here but he just couldn't. "Why can't I remember?"
"Stop struggling Naruto." The voice said again this time louder making him shrink back into the chair he was sitting in. Why was the voice yelling at him? Why was he sleeping in a chair?
"Who's Naruto?"
...
(Outside the Room)
Pressing the microphone connecting his observation room and the room Naruto was being held in Doctor Duncan turned to face his benefactor a smug grin plastered on his face.
"Do not be so smug Doctor. We still do not know if this boy can heal me." Standing a few feet behind Doctor Duncan was an elderly Japanese man that even most Americans would recognize.
Ichiro Yashida, the owner of the Power Technology conglomerate Yashida Corporations. Leaning heavily on an ornate cane Yashida looked through the glass panel at the young boy struggling to get free. Life would be very painful for the child from now on, but everything came at a price. And if Doctor Duncan were correct this child's life would be the price for prolonging his own.
"This boy's cancer was at a later stage than your own Mr. Yashida and look at him now. In just a few months his hair has grown back, and all test results show he is completely healed." Doctor Duncan said bringing up x-ray's of Naruto's body on the screens beside the glass window.
"Do you see these line running through his body? Most would believe they are extra veins caused by his mutation, but that's not the case. It's actually a system of energy running throughout his body! If we can somehow harness that energy, I can guarantee you that in six months we will have something ready for you. It may not completely heal your cancer, but it will last until something more permanent can be created. And in return?"
Nodding Yashida pressed a button on the control panel beneath the glass closing the window so he would no longer have to look at the child. "In return, I will pay you the agreed amount and give you the Genetic Mutation device blueprints."
With that Yashida turned and limped out of the room, so Ducan began his experiments. He may be okay living with the idea of sacrificing the boy's life for his, but he did not want to see or hear what Duncan would do to the boy to achieve what needed to be done so he could survive. Tightening his grip on his cane, he silently cursed the disease that was now shorting his already limited lifespan. If he had more time, he could have finished the Genetic Mutation Device and simply taken the boy's power. "Or found Logan-San and spared the boy from this horrible experience entirely."
...
(Inside the Room)
"Hello!"
Shouting at the top of his lungs Naruto wiggled wildly trying to get away from the giant silver machines coming at him.
Terrifying large red eyes, long sharp and thick needles and swirling drills all attached to each other looked like they had come straight out of one of his worst nightmares.
"Someone Help!"
And no matter how loud he screamed they wouldn't stop getting closer.
Closing his eyes tensed up uncontrollably as the metal made contact with his skin twisting and piercing his skin.
"AHHHH!"
I put this story under Marvel and Naruto crossover since there will be Avengers and other Marvel characters in it but it will mostly focus on the X-men and Mutants. As for what universe there will be parts from the Movies, Comics and Tv show's so it's kinda like a mash-up of all the universes.
