Chapter 12: Pluripotents



Bling took another closer look at the stitches.

"What? . . . What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just. . .they just look remarkably well."

"Huh?"

"It doesn't look like you had surgery 24 hours ago."

Before Logan could say a thing, the phone ringed.

Logan pushed himself up, wanting to pick up the phone himself. But he was too late. Bling got there first.

"Hello?" -Bling answered.

Logan grumpily strapped himself back in the chair and wheeled over to Bling.

"OK, hang on, he is here now."

"It's Sam." - Bling passed the phone to Logan.

All of the sudden, Logan got goose-bumps. Why was Sam calling so soon, its not even afternoon. He took a deep breath before answering the phone.

" . . .Hi Sam. . ." -He said slowly.

"Logan, I've got the results of your blood work here.

"That's fast."

"Yeah, it was quiet in the lab."

"I see."

"I did find something, well, unusual. You have pluripotents in your bloodstream."

"What are pluripotents?"

"They're undifferentiated stem cells. It's what an embryo develops from and they can become any type of cell in the body."

"So, maybe these cells are repairing what's been damaged."

"Anything is possible Logan, but I don't want to speculate about something I can't even pretend to understand."

"I'm getting out of that chair, Sam."

"I'm going to hold a good thought for you on that. In the meantime, I'll run some more tests."

"OK, thanks." -Logan hung up the phone and looked over at Bling.

"Did the results show that the stem cells are repairing your spinal cord?" -Bling asked Logan.

"I don't know, that is what I am thinking. Sam didn't tell me anything!"

"Maybe Max's blood has some healing powers, that should be the reason why your incision is healing up so well."

"Who would have thought that I would have revved up Manticore blood running through my veins?" -Logan laughed it off.

He spun his chair around and wanted to pop a wheelie. But due to his lost of abdominal muscles, the chair flipped backwards. Bling was just in time to caught him before he would hit the ground.

"Damn it!"

"Easy Logan! There is no need to be on the floor again." -He laughed and pushed Logan back up.

"Yeah." He said shortly and wheeled towards the computer room.

"Logan, wait!" -Bling noticed that the Velcro-band had slipped off the backrest.

He spun his chair around to see why Bling called him.

"The strap." -Bling pointed out.

Logan looked down at his chest, but didn't see what was wrong with it.

Bling walked around his chair and pulled the belt back over the backrest.

"OK you ready to go!" -He padded on Logan's shoulder.

"Oh wait!" -Bling called again.

Logan turn his chair around for the second time.

"You need a shower!"

Bling helped him with transferring and taught him some tricks to stay balanced in the shower seat.

. . .

It was already afternoon, but still no sign from Max. Logan decided to page her. Some minutes later Max called him back.

"Hey, I should have called." - She apologized.

"Ow."

"Yeah, me and the guys were on our lunch break, but it took a little longer than I expected. So I'll catch you later, OK?"

"Yeah, OK." -Logan hung up. It didn't feel right to him to tell her this over the phone. What was he suppose to say? 'Max, I want more of your blood and I want it now?'. He shook his head and laughed at the idea.



The whole day, Logan stayed in the computer room. Things were pretty quiet around Eyes Only, so he spend the rest of that day finding information about pluripotents.

. . .

"Max! How was your day?" -Bling looked up from the recipe book.

"Boring! So, Bling, what's cooking?"

"Not sure yet."

"Aha! Sounds good." -She joked and left the kitchen to head over to Logan's bedroom.

"Max, he's in the computer room."

"OK!" -Max turned around and headed to the other direction.

When Logan had heard her voice, he struggled with Velcro strap. He definitely didn't want Max to see him like that!

Just in time, he fumbled the strap his pocket.

"Hey" -Max peeped around to corner to see what he was up too.

"Hey yourself." -He unconsciously ran his fingers through his spiky hair.

"What yah doing?"

"Heading back to the living room. Wanna join me?"

"Sure." -Max turned around and walked towards the couch and sat down.

Logan cautiously followed her, leaning slightly backwards so he wouldn't tumble forwards.

He parked himself sideways from the couch and locked the brakes. Logan casually placed his hands back on the wheels to steady himself.

"So what did Sam say?" -She looked up at Logan.

"He couldn't really tell what was really going on, but he did say that I have pluripotents running through my bloodstream."

"Stem-cells?"

"Yeah, it's in your revved up Manticore blood and I believe that is exactly what is repairing the nerve-damage."

"Well, We were designed to recover from injuries quicker. . . Do you think what I am thinking?"

Logan nodded.

"Ok, don't move. I'll be right back." -She stood up.

"I am not going anywhere." -He shrugged.

Max was looking though Bling's medical stuff in the therapy-room and found the stuff she needed for a blood transfusion.

"I got what I needed." -She returned back and sat down. "Why don't you make yourself comfortable?" - She patted on the spot next to her.

"Nah." -He shook his head. "I am doing fine up here."

"OK." -She shrugged. "Now, give me your arm."

"Now?"

"No, next year. . . Of course now!"

"Do you know how to do this?" -Logan rested his arm on the armrest of the couch.

"Sure I do, I had a lot of practice down at Manticore." -She was about to stick a needle through his vein.

"Oh, I really don't like needles." -He looked away grimacing.

"Yeah tell me something new." -She sniggered.

Logan smiled a little, but Max couldn't see that.

"Done!" -She said proudly.

Logan turn his head back and saw Max's blood running through the tube and entering his arm. Then his eyes met hers. They were lost in each others gaze.

A moment later, Max's eyes were starting to droop.

"Max, are you okay?"

"Yeah, just a bit sleepy."

"Shall we stop?"

"Nah, I can take it" -She mumbled.

"Are you sure?" -Logan asked.

Max didn't respond.

"Max. . .?"

Still no response.

"Bling!" -Logan yelled.

Bling came out of the kitchen to see what was going on.

"What are you guys doing?" -He said when he saw the scene in the living room.

"Can you take the needle out of her, Bling? I think she has given to much blood."

Bling took the needle out of Max and checked her pulse.

"Is she OK?" -Logan asked worriedly.

"Yeah she is fine, she's just sleeping tightly." - He picked her up and lay her in a more comfortable position on the couch.

Then he removed the needle from Logan's arm.

"I don't even want to know what you kids were doing, but if this really works. . ." -Bling smiled hopefully.

"Lets hope it does." -Logan smiled.
