Here's the first chapter of Emerald Weapon X that is all my work, I'm really excited to hear what you all think of it.
Guest – I assume you're referring to "A NEW START" by BlAcKTiTaN1. In that case, I don't think so. That story is completed and even though there was some stuff left unanswered I don't know anything about it, I haven't talked at all with the author, and I wouldn't know where to begin making any form of continuation to it. If you are talking about another story though then let me know.
Eris – All will be revealed. As for Garfield's transformation powers, I still have to decide. So far, I'm thinking either something similar to your idea where he can change his shape similar to Mystique, or an idea suggested by JP-Ryder where his Adamantium works like liquid metal (I imagine it similar to the T-1000, but it stays on the skeletal structure). Personally, I'm leaning more towards the former since it's easier to describe and makes, I see a few glaring holes in the logic for the latter option.
Disclaimer: I do not own Teen Titans, Marvel, or anything else that cool.
Anyways, lets get started already…
Logan was currently sitting in a room very similar to a police interrogation room, with white walls and a stainless-steel table and chairs. His arm was hooked up to a polygraph machine to confirm that his answers were truthful.
Sitting across from him was the leader of the Resistance, a man called Batman. He stared at him with his arms crossed on the table and a scowl on his face.
He had led him in here 20 minutes ago and neither had said a word since. Logan assumed that it was a trick meant to make him bored or uncomfortable and soften him up before the interrogation, but it just made the whole situation look more silly, like he wasn't fully prepared and was just stalling.
Finally, Batman decided to break the silence and get on with the questions.
"What is your name?"
"G. Logan. According to my tags I'm also called Wolverine."
"First name?"
"I don't know."
"Why?"
"I cant remember."
"…Alright. What are your powers?"
"I can heal fast, all my senses are dialed up to 11, I'm pretty strong, considering some of the hits I took I think it's safe to say I'm pretty durable, and lastly my claws."
Batman noted all of these to memory, they all corresponded with what he already knew so he got a basic idea of his power set.
"Show me your claws."
Logan rolled his eyes in annoyance but complied. He held up his forearm an unsheathed his metallic claws.
Batman examined them briefly before letting him retract them and continuing.
"Do you remember where you came from?"
"No."
"Do you have any ulterior motive or secret agenda for infiltrating the Resistance?"
"Hey man, I didn't even know you existed until earlier today."
"Answer the question."
"'Sigh' No, I don't."
"Do you now, or have you ever had any kind of affiliation with the UN in any way?"
"No. Same as the last question, I didn't even know they existed until earlier today."
"Okay then. Last question: If you were to choose your own path, given what you know about the current situation of the world, what would you want to do?"
Logan paused as he thought about it for a moment. From what he had seen and what he had further been told, his three main options would be joining the UN, joining the Resistance, or staying out of the whole conflict and laying low. He'd seen what happened to Jinx and from what he heard that was only the tip of the iceberg. None of it appealed to him in the slightest and the thought of supporting any of it in the slightest made sick, so the UN wasn't an option. From what he could gather about the Resistance they had genuinely good goals and were only after fair treatment and freedom from the UN's oppression. All of those were things that he could get behind. Lastly there was civilian life. With no idea who he was he wouldn't know where to begin with trying to fit in with society. Plus it would only be a matter of time before the UN would find him and kill him, or worse. He also couldn't just stand by as the two sides warred with each other. Having assessed all his options, the choice war clear as day.
"I'd like to join the Resistance. If even half of what I've heard about the UN is true then they need to be stopped, and I'm not cut out for a civilian life."
Batman nodded in approval at the man's reasoning. From the interview they just had the man seemed genuine and with the state of things for them, the Resistance needed all the people it could get. So he'd be a fool to turn down this opportunity.
"Well then," He reached out for Logan's free hand. "Welcome to the Resistance."
Logan gave a small smile and gave the mans hand a firm shake.
Once they left the room they met up with Batgirl and a returning Jinx, who now wore a new black costume with pink going down the torso (similar in design to Beast Boy's original costume), forearms, and boots, along with a pink belt.
"Jinx, can you take Logan to get him registered. After that take him to the medical bay for a check up."
"Sure thing Bat's. Come on Logan." Once Jinx led Logan down the hall and around the corner Batman turned to Batgirl.
"He seems trustworthy enough, but just to be safe I'm going to assign someone to keep watch on him constantly for the time being. Just until were completely sure he's clean."
"Sounds good to me, I think Jinx would be a good option. She knows the most about him and he seems comfortable around her, so he is more likely to let his guard down with her."
"Me too. Lets head to the med bay and inform Dr. Holt of his upcoming patient."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In the main room of the medical bay Batman and Batgirl were currently talking with the head doctor and scientist Michael Holt (also known as Mister Terrific) informing him about his next patient. As Holt asks when he will arrive, Jinx walks right on in with Logan in tow.
"Hey there Doc, I've got your guy right here."
"Ah, hello there Mr. Logan, I'm Dr. Holt. I'll be performing your check up today." Holt says as he shakes the man's hand.
"Nice to meet you Doc."
Dr. Holt takes his notepad and leads Logan to another room.
As they leave Batman approaches Jinx.
"Jinx, I have an assignment of sorts for you."
"So soon? I was thinking I could take it easy for a couple days, maybe introduce Logan to everyone…"
"That's actually what I was going to suggest. After we go through the evaluation process, I want you to show him to his new quarters, then give him a tour of the base. Your going to show him the ropes as well as the basic do's and don'ts here, basically you'll be his tutor and assigned to watch over him for the time being."
Jinx crossed her arms and stared pointedly at the dark knight.
"I'm not a babysitter Bat's."
"Its not that. Regardless of the results of his evaluation, his lack of memory makes him an unknown. Even though he seemed truthful I'd rather err on the side of caution until we're 100% certain that he can be trusted. After all we have dealt with sleeper agents in the past, and if this guy is even half of what we've gathered then things could quickly become a shitshow. At this moment, relatively speaking, you know him better than anyone else so you're the best choice."
Jinx took a moment to think about all of this. Everything he said was true, and if there was a potential risk to the Resistance then she had to do it.
That being said, Logan seemed like a really nice guy, so she'd hate to invade what little privacy he had. In the end, she came to the choice of following her duty.
"Alright, fine. But just for the record I find this pretty unnecessary."
"Better safe than sorry Jinx."
In the medical room Dr. Holt conducted a variety of tests on Logan to measure his reflexes, senses, and other physical attributes. When testing his regeneration abilities he was amazed at the speed at which he healed and his subsequent immunity to all forms of anesthesia.
One of his main focuses was on the cause of the man's amnesia, but he found no evidence of trauma or illness, and every other factor just came up empty.
The last procedure was putting Logan through a Full Body Scanner to analyze his muscular and skeletal structure for any abnormalities, and what he found was shocking.
While Logan waited in the medical room, Holt gathered the other three in the waiting room to present his discovery.
Using various screens set up on a monitor against the wall, he brought up a series of photos showing Logan's skeleton. What was the most surprising was that it appeared to be covered in some kind of metal.
"The metal is an alloy called Adamantium, supposedly indestructible. Its been surgically grafted to his entire skeleton. There are small indents at key points along the skeleton, presumably the entry points that the metal was injected." The Doctor said.
All three heroes were shocked, they assumed that the metal in his wrists had come from somewhere, but they never imagined anything this extreme.
Jinx was the first to speak up in a rather shaky voice.
"H-How could he survive something like that? Claws in his wrists are one thing, but this…"
"His powers. At some point, some way or another, he was given regeneration abilities like I've never seen before. A healing factor isn't all that unfamiliar, Deathstroke was a prime example, but this is on a level that's uncharted, even for superpowered beings. It also affords him virtual immunity to most drugs and poisons, except in massive doses. For example, it'll be extremely difficult for him to get drunk. It also extents to his immune system, rendering him immune to all known Earthly diseases and infections. On top of all that his healing factor greatly slows the effects of aging and thus makes his true age impossible to determine. He could be century's old for all we know."
Holt paused and allowed the information to sink in. After a few minutes he received a nod from Batman and continued his briefing.
"Past that you've also got superhuman senses comparable to those of the best animals in each respective field, super strength, durability, reflexes, agility, stamina and low-level super speed. He may also have some kind of telepathic resistance due to his healing factor."
"So we have an indestructible, unkillable superhuman with unbreakable knives in his hands and feral attributes." Batman surmised.
"Yeah, that's not scary at all." Batgirl said sarcastically.
Batman moved closer to the x-rays and stared at them as he mumbled to himself.
"Experimentation on metahuman's, its not unheard of. But I've never even heard of anything like this before."
"Well, either way, now we know what he's capable of. Lets go formally meet this guy and then let Jinx show him around." Batgirl said as they all went to see Logan.
They walk in to see Logan examining his claws.
He retracts them and they shake hands while formally introducing themselves.
When he asks them what they found regarding what powers he has they give a more brief rundown of the list. They initially thought that he would be upset finding out about his metal-laced skeleton, but his only response after hearing what they found is that he is rather disappointed that he cant fly.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After they finished the brief discussion, Batman sent Logan with Jinx so that he could wash up and get changed.
On the way to his room Logan decided to spark up a conversation with the petite girl.
"Hey, I forgot to mention it before, but I really like your new look. It matches your eyes. Where'd you get it?"
Jinx once again blushed at the comment. 'What it up with me recently? Every time this guy compliments me, I act like a nervous schoolgirl.'
"Thanks. Its actually inspired by a design from someone I knew a long time ago. I never formally met him, but he always seemed like a really nice guy and I couldn't help but admire his carefree personality. One day he disappeared, vanished into thin air. I guess when I was first found by the Resistance, I wanted to pay homage to him somehow. His obnoxiously upbeat attitude, as annoying as it was, was pretty pleasant. His wide, toothy smile could light up a room. Once he went missing, I found myself missing the crazy goofball."
Logan couldn't help but crack a smile as he watched the girl describing this strange person. He sounded like a really special guy and someone that she seemed to hold quite dearly despite not having known very well.
"He sounds like a really great guy, what was his name?"
"I didn't know his real name; this was all back when I was a villain. I only knew him by his superhero name… Beast Boy."
"Beast Boy? What kind of name is that?"
"I know right? But I will say this, as goofy as it was, it was pretty fitting for him."
Their conversation came to a halt when they finally arrived at Logan's newly assigned room. On the door was a blank nameplate which he would fill out later.
The door opened automatically, and Jinx lead the man inside.
It was fairly simple design wise, with grey walls and simple furnishings, leaving room for change at the occupants leisure. A bed sat on against the wall on across from the door with a nightstand next to it. There was a closet to the right of the room and a doorway leading to a bathroom on the left. On the left side of the room was a small couch facing the wall where a large TV was set and in the right corner of the room was a desk and dresser. The floor was polished stone with carpeting by the bed, couch, and desk areas.
Logan went over to the bathroom to see a standard setup with white tile and basic hygiene products, (toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, etc.) Then he moved over to the closet and opened it to see that it was already stocked on one half with various clothes while the other side was bare with several empty coat racks, presumably for costumes.
"Not bad. Though I do have some ideas for a couple things, the walls could be a different colour, same with the carpets, and bed sheet. Maybe a mini-fridge by the couch." He listed off as he walked over and fell back on the bed, sinking in quite a bit.
"I might also get a firmer mattress, this one's too soft for my liking."
"No problem, just make a list and check in with the decor guys know." Jinx said.
"Well then, I'm going to get changed and then we'll go check this place out." Logan then began to take off his suit but stopped when he noticed that Jinx was still there, staring at him.
"Umm… Not to sound rude, but uh…"
"Huh? Oh! Right, sorry. I'll just, be waiting outside if you need me." She said, blushing hard as she rushed out of the room.
Logan chuckled as he stripped off the rest of his suit and walked over to the closet. A lot of the clothes didn't fit right with him, but their was a few that stood out to him for some reason.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Jinx stood leaning against the door as she waited for Logan to finish changing. From where she was, she could hear the rustling of clothes behind the door and wondered what he had decided on.
She racked her brain as to why she couldn't stop blushing around the man she had only known for the last day. Sure he was handsome, but she barely knew anything about him. She shouldn't be acting this childish around him. She was practically behaving like a schoolgirl. Then again, she hadn't really dated much since Wally died and her confidence with the opposite sex wasn't as good as it used to be. The last seven years had been rather lonely and there was no one she'd met that had piqued her interest like Logan.
Wait a minute, why was she thinking about her dating life? And why was she immediately going back to Logan? Grrr! She kept telling herself that she didn't even know enough about him to be considering this thought, but her subconscious was quick to remind her that there wasn't much about him to consider. The guy had no memories from just before they met, and he didn't know much about the outside world besides what everyone told him.
'Ok Jinx, take it easy. Just don't think about it. How hard can that be? Just push those thoughts aside and try to stay composed.' She thought.
Just then the door opened.
She stumbled for a sec before regaining her footing and standing up straight. She turned to face her returning companion, and then froze.
Logan was now wearing a green tank top under a black leather jacket with purple stripes on the arms and shoulders. Hanging around his neck was his dog tags that they found in the truck on the way here. Lowering her gaze she saw he had blue jeans held up by a brown belt with a silver wolf buckle, and brown steel toe work boots. Looking back up to his face she took notice of his blonde hair that seemed to have a wild look to it but had a slight horned shape reminiscent of her own hairstyle. It extended down into sideburns before fading into a light stubble, all of which enhanced his rugged appearance.
"Woah." Jinx muttered, completely unable to fight the blush that rushed to her face as she stared in awe at the man.
Logan gave her a cheeky grin before responding.
"See something you like pinky?"
Jinx's blush turns a deep red in embarrassment as she scowl's at the smug man.
"Sh-shut up!"
Logan laughs before Jinx smacks him in the arm and begins walking off down the hall.
He runs up to her and offers a half-hearted apology, which Jinx ignores.
"Come on, I'm just messing with you."
"Its not funny."
"It really is."
Jinx turns and glares daggers at the man.
"I said shut up, leave me alone."
Logan is unfazed and just crossed his arms with a smug look in his face.
"Aren't you supposed to be giving be a tour?"
"Not if you keep this up." She said as pouted and crossed her arms.
Logan watched her stand there pouting like a child. It was adorable.
So with a light chuckle he walked over and looped his arm around her shoulders.
"Alright, I'm sorry for joking around. How's about I make it up to you with a date sometime?"
Jinx fought back another blush at this.
"Don't push your luck, Logan."
"That wasn't a no." He said, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Lets just go already!" She yells as she pushes away and stomps down the hall with a laughing Logan right behind her.
