Author's Note: These are the 'nightmares' of the members of Mutant X. For one week we will follow everyone's 'nightmares'. After this week the 'nightmares' will vanish, to be replaced by happy 'dreams' where the team wins every single battle they fight and the bad guys/gals are punished. Sound familer? Everything in italics are somebody's 'dream'. On with the bashing... er.. story. Please flame!

The Death of Mutant X Monday: Nightmares with the Top Leading Causes of Death Worldwide

Adam's Nightmare

For Adam the dream started off good enough- the team was in a fight and needed his help. He came through for the team and when they got back everyone thanked him for saving their life. Just like Adam had planned. But after they got back and thanked him he went into the med-lab. By some miracle he had finished all of the half done experiments in the lab. Not knowing what to do he decided to perform a full physical on himself- something he needed to do, as he had not gotten one since he had first created Mutant X- there just wasn't time. After perfoming all the tests he looked at his results and gasped. It was the only thing he could do. Every single one of the tests he performed on himself indicated that he had various forms of cancer. His cancers consisted of skin, oral, breast, prostate, brain, colon, and rectum cancer. In a state of utter and complete shock Adam was obviously not in his right mind.

Which might explain what happend next.

In his confusion, Adam thought that he had a brillant idea- he would cure himself of his cancer!!! So he did all the work that it took to solve cancer before midnight. After all, we are speaking of the Great, Genious Adam- the man who made mutants! By one a.m. Adam had the scanner ready to 'fix' him. He set the scanner to run and laid down in the chair to sleep as the scan would take five hours to complete. Hopefully he would wake up cured.

Five hours later

Adam woke up to the sound of the scanner beeping. Thinking that he was cured he jumped out of the chair, only to fall to his knees. 'Crap.' Adam thought. 'Something must have gone wrong.' As he hobbled over to a chair near the results on the computer he saw that the scanner had been beeping NOT beacuase he was cured, but beacuase he had gotten worse. According to the scanner he had miscalculated a simple addition problem- and though the problem was simple to solve, he now had more forms of cancer, and his first types had gotten much worse. Now his list of cancers were: skin, oral, all respiratory, breast, esophogus, liver and bile passages, stomach, pancreas, prostate, brain, colon and rectum, urinary, bone and joints, lymphoma, and eye cancer. The eye cancer would explain his problem reading the results. Realizing that he only had a few minutes to live he called the team in to the lab with his com-link ring. Just seconds after he told them each goodbye he literally rotted. He had gotten so many cancers literally overnight that his body rotted and fell to the floor in a pile of purple, jiggling, goey cells.

As Adam woke up in his bed he rushed to the med-lab and performed the neccessary tests to see if he had cancer or not. When the test finished he was relieved to find out that he had no cancer at all. Just to make sure though, tomorrow he would start research to find a cure. He went back to bed and slept peacefully for the rest of the night.
