Family
"Chapter Three"
The trio who had extracted the two newest members of Xavier's School for Gifted Students were in the Professors office right now discussing what they've just discovered. The Professor having been up, after sending them on this mission.
"They're extremely feral Professor." Storm commented. "I don't know how long they were there, but Scott, and I encountered them killing one of the members who'd held them in a very brutal manner."
"That is worrisome" The Professor said. "Had the captor done anything to provoke such a reaction?"
"You mean besides holding them prisoner and doing experiments on them for god knows how long?!" Jean raved.
"There was a child at the guys feet. Didn't you see the young one reach for it before he started crying?" Scott said.
"Unless one of them starts talking, we can only speculate." Said the Professor, as he steepled his fingers in contemplation.
Oooooo
Waking from this sedative was the slowest thing Logan has remembered waking from, and he's woken from a lot of sedatives over the last few years. Finally what felt like ages, the thickness faded from his mind. He sat up faster than a snake striking. Releasing his claws ready to attack the three who betrayed him and his son. Only to see a shocked blue furry mutant staring at him who he's never seen before. There was a hint of wild in this man's eyes. Something familiar about it he couldn't remember.
My SON, Logan growled lowly to this strange wild man in warning.
Comprehension dawned on the blue mans face. "You're both safe here. I assure you."
Logan grumbled again. Betrayal.
"Not here?" The blue man asked in shock. Logan turned to stare at Boy. Not choosing to answer. Blue man must have thought that was an answer alone, because he didn't look too happy when Logan looked back. "What's your name?"
Wolverine
"What about your son's name?"
Boy
"What's his real name?"
Don't Know
"How long were you two with The Labs?"
Three Years Together, Boy don't know total.
"What do you mean he doesn't know the total?" Blue man asked in question.
Boy was there first.
Logan saw that Blue man was about to ask another question but he could hear Boy starting to wake. Quickly jumping off the medical bed, he rushed to boy's side. Now finally noticing the difference with his hair. He didn't have any. They had shaved it all off. Boy was going to be cold now.
Hi
Hello
Hank watched as the two interacted. Being the only one in the house who could understand their vocabulary it was probably a good thing he was in here when they woke up.
My. . .baby. . .
Hank watched as the elder grabbed the younger in his arms and began rocking him as he started crying, slow rumbles of an Alpha comforting a submissive coming from him. He himself was a beta, but he was still classified as a feral. Something he'd never been more thankful for than today, because these two were going to have a long road ahead of them.
Oooooo
Hank just reached outside the Professors door when he glanced behind him. His two followers were still behind him, although at a sedated pace. "It's alright. Come on. He's a nice man, and he's been waiting to meet you both." Hank said as he opened the double doors of the Professors office.
Hank walked in and motioned for the Professor to be quiet as they waited for the two new mutants to join them. Slowly, and what felt like forever, Hank and the Professor saw a head peak around the corner of the door frame. Seeming to take in everything in the room at once. Assessing the threat level with a practiced eye.
It's good Logan said to Boy. Stepping further into the doorway.
Professor Xavier couldn't help but notice the height difference between the two of the newest additions. The father must have been well over 6'2'' and the son had to be only 5'. Clinging to his dad's arm for dear life.
"Come in. Come in" Professor Xavier said as he waved them in from behind his desk.
As the two slowly made their way into the room, the Professor never lost his smile. Logan guided Boy off to the side over by a couch opposite the blue man but neither of them sat.
"You can sit if you'd like." The Professor said.
"Honestly. I think they'd rather stand." Hank added offhandedly after having a stare down with Logan.
"Alright." The Professor conceded. "We've set aside some rooms for you both, so you may rest and recuperate from your ordeal." The Professor said smoothly.
Together. Logan said in a hurry, Hank interpreting in quick succession.
"That can be arranged." The Professor agreed. "Hank would you mind showing them to their room?"
Charles watched in amusement as the two supposedly aggressive feral mutants followed their own resident feral out of the room. The father's back to the wall at all times, the man's eyes never leaving Charles' own. When the three had left his office he couldn't help the saddened sigh that left him. This was exactly why Sabertooth couldn't gain the ability to suppress non mutants. It only led to more fear, and that fear led to creations like The Labs, and Stryker's experimentations. If there was one horror story he never wanted to be face to face with it was Weapon X. One of Stryker's best products. Rumor was Sabertooth had betrayed his brother, now weapon X, to Stryker decades ago so he could begin his human suppression movement. Apparently the two didn't see eye to eye about what the immortal Alpha feral was doing.
It was said that Sabertooth and his also immortal brother were born just before the civil war movement, in the 1800's. Charles shuddered to think what the world would look like now if both these siblings believed in the same thing. It was a shame Sabertooth's brother was in Stryker's clutches. To have such a mutant on their forces would be invaluable to their cause.
Sighing again to shake these somber thoughts, Charles thought again on their newest charges. Another family hurt by Sabertooth's goal. He would help them, as best this school could.
