TURNABOUT CHAPTER 11: PROFESSOR XAVIER'S Point of View
The most extraordinary thing has happened. Sabretooth has been tamed. Or curtailed; I'm not really sure which phrase I am comfortable with. There are other minds inside of that huge body of his. The animal fury, the uncontrolled beast has been put to rest. In its place are two rather unusual and distinct personalities. One is a rather gentle man of great learning and character. The other is a female mind that is self assured, mellow and has a rather odd sense of humor. Whither or not it was brought about by strange beings, as the female personality thinks, or is a manifestation of the electrical shock that he had gotten is open to debate. I feel as if that he can be trusted and believed. The fact that Logan and he have been friends in the past is an eye opener. I don't understand why he didn't tell Logan sooner about the connection they had, but then he was different then he is now.
Logan is having a problem with the information. Not too surprising since they did try to kill one another on a number of occasions upon meeting each other in the last year or so.
After the call I made to Michael, I was certain that Victor was telling the truth. The mental picture I had gotten from Michael of his father, matches Logan quite precisely. I'm surprised I didn't see it earlier. The resemblance to Logan by Michael is very chilling to say the least. I hadn't made the connection. Not to surprising since the stories of his father and Logan's personality were almost exact opposites.
When Logan prepared himself for the journey to New York City, his appearance was striking. I wish I had seen it before, but I let prejudice cloud my judgment. Logan is suspicious and feels that this is some sort of trick. I could barely blame him for his negative thoughts.
Some of the girls on seeing Logan dressed in very fine attire were prone to sweats and thoughts that would have made me blush if I were younger. Scott was seeing Logan as Jean would see him and he didn't like it at all.
The drive was rather uneventful, conversation was sparse and Scott behave himself rather well and didn't rib Logan as much as usual, be he couldn't really contain himself the whole time and there was some altercation that could have been violent, but it was mostly just tough talk.
Upon arriving at the Winters' office building I told Scott to park the car and then wait in the downstairs lobby. I would call if I needed him.
Their meeting was quite amazing. They both had the same body build and the hair, though Michael's was a strawberry blonde, had that same wild look.
The conversations started out with explanations and sort of went down hill from there. To prove that all this wasn't some sort of elaborate prank or hoax Michael opened up a panel on his office wall. It was covered in pictures. Lots and lots of pictures! Logan and his family at family outings, important events were featured. Victor was standing side by side in most of them. They looked more then friendly with each other in them. He just looked at the pictures with open mouth. I could feel the stubborn part of him rejecting everything he was looking at, but there was a breakthrough. Like some dam had been released and I sensed the most astounding headache coming from him. His eyes rolled up and he collapsed onto the floor.
