A/n: Chapter two is here, I'm really starting to like this story~
Always There for You 02
Adamantium Bullets
He had been looking for a long time, not knowing when he would find him. However, when he would find him, he was never going to let him go again, he wasn't walking away again. Who knew his brother was an X-man now. One minor setback, but he would always be there for him...Even if the world tried to tear them apart. "We're brothers Jimmy, and we're there for one another. Always."
Victor had smelt his brother's distress from a long ways away. He sighed and got up, dressing himself. He was going to wait a bit longer to go get his brother, but he decided he might as well see what happened to be wrong with him. He left his apartment from the window and took off the school his brother was at. He got in easily and slipped in through an open window. He could already tell that something was wrong with the way the door was flung open. He slipped out into the hall, finding it destroyed. He frowned some and moved along to where Jimmy's scent was the strongest. He looked into the room and frowned again, it was destroyed to a degree that you could barely make out what was wall under the claw marks.
"You're the person from earlier aren't you?" Having been so into finding out what was wrong with his brother; Victor had forgotten that there were more people in the home. He swung around to see the male from earlier. He frowned and nodded a little bit. The other paused for a moment. "Listen, Jean, a doctor of the sorts here, wants to check and see if you and Logan are related. I know I probably have no place saying this to you, but it's good to find out…" He said.
Victor was silent for a good moment before sighing. "Fine." He said. "I will prove to you all that we are, and then I am taking my brother home with me." He stated and gave no room for argumentation as he walked over. The person swallowed then headed down to a lab, Victor following. He was aware of everything now, making sure no one got near him without him knowing.
As they came down into the lab he noticed Jimmy's' scent became stronger. He smiled and then looked around the lab for his brother, finding him on a table with wires attached to him. He frowned some, and noticed the red-head from earlier was also there in a lab coat. She glanced at them then smiled some. "Welcome um..." She trailed off.
"...Victor Creed." Victor replied and she blinked, nodding a little bit. She glanced at Jimmy, and sighed as she tapped a few things. "What happened ta him?" Victor crossed his arms, expecting an answer that told him that his little brother was alright. The red-head, Jean he presumed, sighed.
"Well, he went on a rampage...In his sleep at that." Jean said and turned to face Victor. "We had no idea what happened, Xavier tried to read his mind, and was blocked out, then he snapped again and clawed out a wall pretty much, we had to knock him out, then we brought him back down her...and well now, we're trying to figure this all out."
Victor sighed, guessing what happened. "Nightmares," He said and sighed softly, "Jimmy has nightmares and ya never know what happens when ya have them."He chuckled as he thought about a certain time. "Believe me; it can get pretty bad at times…" He shrugged. "Our nature really it's who we are."
Jean frowned at that answer than sighed softly and nodded a little. She looked at Jimmy before back to Victor. "Sit down in the chair next to him if you want. I need a hair sample or something to check your DNA." She said softly and he nodded, pulling out a hair from his scalp and handing it to her. She nodded then put it into a machine. She watched it for a bit as Victor watched his brother thrash a bit and frown. He grabbed his brother's hand tightly and held it. The other male watched Jean when she got the results and she took a deep breath. "Well…Scott…we have it." She murmured to the male, but Victor still caught it. "Positive, they're related."
Jean closed her eyes then turned to Victor and smiled at him. "Well, we know you two are indeed related now." She said and looked at the paper in her hand. "Interesting...but I do want to know why you never came to get Logan before now if you are his brother..." She frowned.
Victor sighed and decided to come clean with what happened. "We were on an island, just done fightin' Deadpool. We went our separate ways there but...he never came ta kill me, which I was positive he would, yet no, nothin'. I went look, and I've been lookin for about fifteen years by now. I had no idea ta where he was, or what happened ta him. Honestly, a few times I was worried he had died before I remembered that his healing factor would come in play so that couldn't have happened. It just remained with ta fact that he was out somewhere, and somethin went wrong."
"You two...fought Deadpool?" Jean asked, shocked by that retaliation. She wondered how the two brothers had managed to survive that of all things. Victor laughed at her face, and nodded, out of all the things she said...she choose to ask about that?
"Yes we did, or you could say we fought Wade." Victor shrugged, and got a look of confusion from Jean and Scott. "Wade is his real name, Stryker changed in into Deadpool...heh, hard to explain about that actually...though I might think Stryker caused this somehow..." He frowned and glanced at his brothers' sleeping form. "He caused a lot of problems..."
"...who was this Stryker person?" Scott asked finally. He felt as if he knew the name, but he wasn't too sure. Then, he remembered something, when he was captured and taken to that island...wait...was... His eyes widened. "Wait! Was the place you two fought Deadpool an island with labs under?" He asked quickly. Victor blinked then nodded yes. Jean gave Scott a worried look as Scott processed that. "I remember...I remember that place." He muttered and bit his lip. "Those damned people experimented on my eyes!" He groaned, and shook his head.
"So...you were there?" Jean murmured and Scott nodded, sighing. It was actually the time he came to the institute as well, so of course he remembered that well. She put a hand on his shoulder and frowned, rather worried.
"Yeah, Xavier later came that day and got us all..." Scott trailed off. He hesitated before saying. "He was about to make sure that no one was left behind...but...I guess maybe...Logan did?" He said and looked at Victor who nodded some. Jean sighed and pulled up her X-ray machines as a light went off in the lab. Victor moved back as she used the machine. She watched a screen as she did so then stilled as it came over his head. Victor narrowed his eyes, there was two places were something was lodged into his brothers' head. He had a bad feeling that was why his brother had no memory of him, or anything else for that matter.
"Well…I might think that's an adamantium bullet…" Victor muttered and frowned some as well. "It's the only thing I can think of that wouldn't leave his adamantium skeleton structure." He looked at Jean who then took a deep breath and nodded some, understanding.
"How about...we find a way to remove them?" She asked softly and Victor thought about it before nodding. The problem stood how to get them out?
It took a lot of time, and a lot of problem-solving before they finally managed to get the bullets out of Jimmy's head. Victor was pleased however, and was now with his brother in his room. He was watching him closely, making sure there was nothing wrong with him. It had been rather complicated to remove the bullets, but the wounds had already healed from them taking it out of his head. Now, Victor wondered if his little brother would remember him…he hoped so, because he really hated that he hadn't remembered him when they had finally meet again. Then again, some things he could do without the other remembering such as Kayla and all of that what not. It was in the past, and that part could stay there forever. He sighed some then and leaned back.
"…who…" His little brother's voice startled him some before he turned to look down at him. He smiled at him, and Jimmy's eyes seemed to widen as he took in Victor's form. "Vic..." He said softly and Victor nodded, good his little brother remembered him. Then the rage came before Victor grabbed his brother's wrists and pinned him down. "You…you-"
"Jimmy, calm down now my little brother." Victor murmured. He smiled at the other, moving a hand down to touch his cheek. "That is all in the past, all you need to know now is that I am here, and you are here, and that I'm never going to leave you again…and you are not going to leave me again. We are going home, and we're going to stick together no matter what happens."
Jimmy seemed to weaken then but then said. "I can't go home Vic…because this is my home now, ya have ta get that." He whispered and Victor frowned down at his little brother before sighing. "I'm part of the X-Men, and I have ta stick with it. I have kids here that look up to me, not mine you know, but they do look up to me. Ya have ta know that. I just can't leave this place and all of them here."
"Jimmy, they don't need you here, understand that please. I need ya, and ya need me." Victor leaned close to his little brother before sighing softly. "Jimmy, we're here for one another, and ya don't need anyone but me. Its how it has always been and it always will be like that. We're better droppin' off the face of the earth than dealin' with this all. I'm not one to be in places like this and ya know that. Come on, we're gonna go home ta where we belong Jimmy." He moved off his brother and picked him up like a lifeless doll. Jimmy looked down.
"Victor please…you don't…" He was silenced as his brother kissed him on the lips. He made a small sound but didn't fight back. Maybe normal people didn't think this was how brothers were supposed to act with one another, but after it happened for a good long time…honestly he could care less what they thought. This was part of his bond with his older brother.
"Enough now Jimmy." Victor replied, asserting himself to be the older and wiser one here. The other sunk down some, and Victor realized, he had really broken Logan, the shell of his Jimmy. He smirked some and then pulled the other close and kissed his forehead. "I'm here remember? Don't worry about it all Jimmy…" He carried him to the door and then left the room. He glanced around and snorted as he spotted the guy named Scott. Jimmy, being of course in his little brother's frail mind-set and not the full on killer he was to be yet –more so in the younger age of them-, laid his head on his brother's chest silently.
Scott frowned some and looked at them. "I want to know, but I don't want to know." He said and sighed some. Logan didn't act like this, but he wasn't Logan now was he? He was…this James person that only Victor was allowed to call Jimmy. He had no idea what to really think about it but oh well, as long as he wasn't at the end of his claws. He sighed before just going to talk with Jean like he had intended. Victor chuckled and smiled, carrying his brother outside. He let him look back and said.
"This is no longer yer home Jimmy, yer home, if forever with me."
