Chapter four
i open my eyes to a blinding light and slowly coming in to my surroundings with a jolt I sit up and wince regretting the movement I start to panic but a gentle firm hands pushes me back onto the bed, and I look into the concerned brown eyes of the wolverine, and I relax and go limp. He seems to want to ask me something but before he can someone comes in, and before seeing who it is I hear him first "Ah, she is awake, how are you feeling kid?" a blue furry man walks in, "better" I reply dismissing his appearance which seems to confuse him, "Thats good, Logan I got the results for the test you asked for back….", "and?" logan cuts in, "and they are positive, Ava here is your daughter." I feel shock course through me but I feel a warm fuzzy feeling go through me and I quietly watch to see Logan's reaction, he seems to be making a perfect impression of a fish. The blue man turns to me, "My name is Hank but I am known as beast, I know this is a lot to take in but, can you tell me if you have accelerated healing? Logan here has it as his natural mutation, do you think you have it sweetie?", "I can't heal my self…" i answer carefully unsure how much to reveal, I turn to look at logan and he seems to have broken out of his stupor, and seems to contemplate something and then asks, " wait you cant heal yourself? but you can heal?", I sigh and tell them of all my powers. "if it makes you feel better I haven't aged in years" Logan tells me. Hank or beast takes Logan who I now know is actually my father outside to probably talk without me overhearing. I decide to look around and notice the machine I was hooked to was fried and it seems none noticed, I sighed and unhooked my self and slowly get up wincing but slowly calming down with my ability to transfer or remove pain I also have a high pain tolerance and quickly get over it, and start to explore. i hear the door open and logan, beast and the professor walked or rolled in. "Hello Ava, I see you are better" the professor observes. "When you have the ability to control or transfer pain you gain a high pain tolerance, I can be dieting and if I decide to I can act like nothing is wrong." "No kidding", Logan says, "I-we almost lost you and I couldn't even tell you were injured until i picked you up" he finishes with a hint of elf loathing. "Sorry" i say guiltily, "It was the vision's fault" I finish and explain the physical drawbacks of my powers. The three men seem horrified by the end of my explanation. "so about your healing power are there any side effects?" Hank asks concernedly. "Wanna see?" I ask innocently trying to suppress a wince at the thought of the draw backs. At the three mens' nods I step towards the professor and place my hand on his shoulder and a white light engulfs me and seems to startle the men. I imagine Xavier's spine heal itself and I bite my lip holding in a scream, and the light dies down, and i stumble backwards on my butt and Logan picks me up and gently places me on the bed, "Try… to…walk.", I say between pants. Charles looks at me as though I had gone nuts and slowly and shakily pulls himself to his feet, spots settle in my vision but I shake them off, Professor seems to be surprised to find his legs support him and lets out a breathy laugh and smiles like a kid at christmas and starts running around seemingly unable to get enough of his newly regained ability, I smile and cough into my hand I look to see blood and try to hide it but Logan the new concerned father that he is grabs my hand and looks at the blood in horror and shouts for Hank who runs over and accesses the situation and hand me a cup of water which I drink and the urge to cough subsides. The three men look at me in concern Xavier having finished celebrating looked guilty, "If it causes pain you shouldn't use it", Xavier says looking at me seriously. I just shrug, "Chuck is right Pup" Logan says sternly. " Im fine now", I reply pouting, "Im bored now" I say randomly getting up and heading to the door so I can find something to play with. "Where do you think your going pup?" Logan asks gruffly lifting me up before I can reach the door and settles me on his hip. "Its boring in here wanna play" I reply tilting my head to the side cutely, Logan seems to melt, and Hank laughs muttering something about Logan being around my pinky which is ridiculous since he wouldn't fit which I tell him and he starts laughing again and Logan starts yelling at him and I drift off to sleep lulled by his heart beat.
Logans POV
I cant believe I am a father, she is so cute and I can already feel a strong urge to protect her, but I can't protect her from the effects of her powers and it scares me, I feel bad that she inherited my inability to age but a selfish part of me is glad because I don't want to watch her grow old and die she is to precious for her to lose her cute innocence, I calm done and stop yelling at beast when I notice she drifted off with her thumb in her mouth, aw cute she fell asleep to the sound of my heart beat, beast the idiot he is is still laughing like a maniac, I shush him and he calms done and looks apologetic, Chuck just stands there looking like he is worried this is just a dream and he'll wake up to find himself in his chair, I'm happy for him i really am but his happiness came at the cost of my baby girl, where did this possessiveness come from? must be my alpha male personality. Ava snuggles closer into my chest and I look down at her in Awe at the sense of calm that emanates from her calming down my anger towards the two Bubs in front of me. I take a deep breath, and turn towards them "You two are lucky that my anger keeps disappearing" I tell them calmly, walking out to my room placing her on the bed pulling a chair over to watch over her, it's my job to protect her now and I'll be damned if I fail her she's mine which makes her part of my pack which means no one is touching her if i could somehow simultaneously watch over and protect her and hunt those bastards that put that knife into her side i would, ut she is my top priority so for now I watch over her.
Back To Ava POV
I regain consciousness for the second time in a few hours, and find myself in a dark room, I spot a hunched figure next to the bed, Recognizing him as my Daddy I let out a breath of relief and crawl onto his lap, I Wrap my short arms around him and give him a childish kiss on the cheek, "I love you Daddy" I say voice coming out childish, the figure below me stills, and warm strong arms gently hug me back, "I love you to Pup" he replies his voice unusually soft, I snuggle closer and drift off one again to the sound of his heartbeat.
