Chapter 13: Beast's Further Mutation
"Hank, I am glad you Forge, and Kitty are back," said Xavier, "We have not been able to do much with out our resident doctor."
"Well then I am glad to be back. Talking to James Hudson, and Walter Langkowski some of the brightest in the Northern hemisphere was very interesting," said Hank, "But the institute is my home."
"Hank I know you came to my office for something else. What is it you need old friend?" said Xavier.
"Something strange is happening to me I came into contact with some of Walter Langkowski's chemicals. I have not felt the same since," said Beast.
"Hmm…he did research on gamma radiation that might explain it," said Xavier, "We'll have Forge do some tests on you, to make sure you are fine. But, I have the feeling those chemicals unlocked a further mutation in your body. I have studied from your scans that you have the potential to become something great. Well now that we have discussed that I have to fill you in on what happened when you were gone."
Xavier started to tell him of all the things that happened…
"Destined two?" said Dr. McCoy.
"Yes that is what he said, I am concerned for Scott and Jean's safety," said Xavier.
"They can take care of themselves they are not kids any more," said Hank.
"I suppose your right…head to Forge's lab for some tests," said the Professor.
"Sure thing I want to get this over with," said Hank.
Where some of the other X-men were…
"The Professor should have let Sam and I go on that mission," said Bobby.
"Yes your help vould have been needed," said Kurt, "Then Gambit and Shiro wouldn't be in the medical room from the overuse of their powers."
"Well we did do fine didn't we?" asked Paige.
"Yeah injuries aren't needed though," said Warren.
"You are right," said Paige, "Let's go visit Shiro and Gambit I bet Rogue is in there."
"Like, yeah than I can see the damage myself," said Kitty expressing her ability renewed ability to speak.
In Forge's lab…
"Hank your strength has been tripled, I also believe you can leap greater distances, and your agility is far better than before," said Forge, "I would test some of this out but I have to work on the damage of the planes. I think you can properly test some of these traits in your lab."
Forge than left the room…
Hank walked to his lab and he went inside. He found a couple weights the same ones he used on Rogue. Before he could lift seven hundred pounds of weight now he could lift over two thousand pounds.
"Amazing," he muttered to himself recording it on a piece of paper. He also set up a program to work out so he wouldn't lose this newfound strength. But all of a sudden he fell unconscious.
In the medical room…
"Hey chere I'm fine I just need a little recovery, tell ol' Betsy that I can go now," said Gambit.
"Would you mind telling her I would prefer to lay in my own bed? Since I am okay, I just need rest," said Shiro.
Rogue told Betsy who let Shiro leave but said Gambit should stay here.
"He has never discharged this much energy I scanned his mind. Shiro on the other hand has in some of his solo work in Japan. Gambit had never thought he could use that much energy and live," said Betsy.
Rogue went over to his bed, "You never told me ya thought you would die!"
"Oh chere I thought you would not let me go if I did," said Gambit.
"Well that was brave and stupid, don't do it again or you will feel some real pain," she threatened.
"Don't worry bou' that I wouldn't dream about it," said Gambit.
The next day in Dr. McCoy's lab…
"What happened?" said the doctor.
When he got up he realized something was wrong. The way he got up was different. He looked at one of his hands, and realized it wasn't a hand it was a paw.
'What the?' he thought. He looked at his legs and saw that he had paws for feet to. Below his knee his heel bent far back. His arms were thick and had huge muscles. He walked up to a mirror and saw his face. It was a feline like face he had sharp teeth a cat like snout, and cat eyes. His ears were similar of that of a lion. He was quite a bit heavier. He still retained opposable thumbs. 'Thank the lord,' he thought to that.
"Oh my stars and garters," he said, "I am worse off than before."
Then Jubilee walked into the room.
He covered his face.
"What's to hide Hank?" she said. Then noticed his new appearance and responded, "Like the new look Hank what is it feline?" she asked almost comically.
This made him feel a bit better.
"Oh I believe it is a further mutation of my powers," he said.
"Oh big deal," she said, "You accepted your other form. Why not this one?"
"I will have to relearn to write, and using my hands will be much harder," he said sadly.
"Hey isn't that what this school is all about? Learning to use your powers? Or am I wrong?" she asked.
Hank then realized she was right he already was an outcast he was not going to get any worse. Also what better place to learn to use these new found powers than Xavier's Institute?
"You know what you are right Jubilee this place represents new birth, and control," said Hank, "I will have to learn to use these powers, it is the way I am and I can not help that."
