Chapter 51

Turk sensed that someone was behind him and he quickly whirled around for another fight, but when he saw that it was Creed standing there, he merely said, "Oh. It's you."

Creed growled furiously at the sight of their embrace, he started to move in to kill Turk, until he saw the what remain of the good doctor on the floor. His eyes moved back onto Turk, still growling, "Get the hell away from my woman!"

"Victor!" Jubilee pulled away from turn to run to Creed's side, propping him onto her shoulder, "Are you okay?"

"I'll be fine." he leaned on her and allowed her to help him into the room, sitting him down next to their babies. "How are the pups?"

"They're alright. I thought for sure that we'd loose them when doctor psycho there shot me with that gun of his."

"Are you hurt?"

"No. It's just a graze. I can see that he got you too, from what he said, neither of us are going to have any powers for a couple of hours. So, that means we'll be roughing it without our healing factors for a long while." she sat down next to him and tended to his wounds, "Thank God Turk showed up when he did. Otherwise… All of us would be separated and experimented on by Weapon X by now."

Creed looked up at Turk with a hateful look, "I guess you expect me to thank you, don't you?"

"I don't expect you to do anything, except to allow me to take Jubilee and get her to safety." Turks eyes then moved to the three cooing forms laying on the ground, "Her cubs will be coming with us as well."

"What about Victor, Turk?"

"What about him, Jubilation?"

"We're not going to leave him here to fend for himself!"

"There's not enough room in my jet for all of us."

"I'm not going to leave him behind." she accidentally tightened one of the bandages around Creed's middle too tight and he jumped, "Sorry about that. Turk… You can leave if you want, but I'm not leaving, unless we all leave together."

"Jubilation, he's-"

"He's the father of my children and I still have my promise to keep to him. I'm not going to leave him or break my promise just because you two don't like each other. Got it?"

Turk sighed, "Got it." he started to move towards the triplets to get a better look at them, but Creed moved in between them. "I just want to see them."

"Like hell I'm gonna let ya anywhere near by pups."

"I'm not going to hurt them if that's what you're thinking. I'm much more better than a back stabbing inferior like you, human."

The babies suddenly began crying again, feeling the tension between the two males scared them, and upset Jubilee.

"Will you two knock it off? I'm sick and tired of you too always arguing!" she moved over to her babies and slowly picked each one up.

"What are you, Snow?"

"I'm going to give my babies a bath and try to get the rest of this after birth gunk offa them. No need for them to get sick right after being born."

"I'll help." piped Turk.

"No! I'm not happy with either of you right now, so I don't want neither of you near me nor my babies. When I get back, I expect you two to be civil to one another, and have at least three baby bottles ready. Otherwise, you both will be in a world of hurt with or without my powers, I can still kick both your butts!" with that she left the room carrying her small infants to the bathroom. Leaving the two males do deal with each other however they thought fit.

Meanwhile, back in Hawaiian civilization…

Logan had just snuck through the streets looking for clothes that were being hung outside to dry. With luck, he found a pair of trunks and a tacky blue Hawaiian shirt that were hanging in someone's backyard. Once he got them on he headed straight for the nearest pay phone and got into contact with Weapon X.

"Hey, Tyler. Got myself a situation here."

"This had better be news about Jubilation."

"It is. I think I found her, but the bad news is that someone is tryin' to stop me from findin' her."

"Who?"

"A woman called Lady Hydra. Know anythin' about her?"

"Only that she's a mercenary for hire and has a nack for sleeping with most of her victims before killing them. We really don't know anything else about her."

"Great…" Logan frowned, "So you don't know of anythin' that could possibly stop her?"

"We don't even know whether or not she's even human." Tyler paused to think, "There is one thing though…"

"What's that."

"She runs away when there's fire around."

Logan put two and two together and slapped himself for being so stupid, "Thanks, Tyler. Ya just helped me out more than ya know." he then hung up the phone and started to head towards the local airport, "Logan…" he said to himself, "You are slow. How can ya not realize that Lady Hydra's powers are closely related to that of the Greek's hydra. The only way to kill a hydra is to burn each of it's stumps, so next ya slight her apart, just burnt he fuck outta her till she can't regen no more."

'Now yer thinkin', Logan." Logan's conscience spoke once again, 'I knew that ya still had a brain.'

"Shut up! Or else I'll kill myself to shut ya up!"

'Now, now.' he conscience taunted, 'Ya know that's practically impossible an' besides, yer better than that. Yer the best at what ya do an' ya know ya love it.'

"How the hell do I even know that yer even my real conscience, huh! I still think that yer just a figment of my imagination."

'Ya want proof? Fine, I'll give ya a no brainer. We both know that what yer doin' is wrong, sellin' out Jubilee, so that ya can get yer pitiful freedom from Weapon X. An' ya know how great they all are at keepin' their so called promises.'

"Okay, let's just say that I'm buyin' the whole conscience act, but I'm still not turnin' back!"

'Whatever. No skin off my back. At least I'm not the one gettin' dirty looks from people for talkin' to no one in particular.'

Suddenly realizing that his conscience was right, Logan quickly shut his trap, until he reached the local airport. Sneaking into the hanger with the small planes that the locals use to take tourists in. Once inside he looked around to make sure that no one was in site, he climbed in one of the planes, and checked to make sure that everything was okay. When satisfied, he searched the cockpit for any sign of a hidden key, lucky for him he didn't have to look far. The pilot who had flied the plane last had accidentally left the keys in the ignition, so without further delay, Logan started the engine of the small plane and took off from the airport, heading straight to the island that the crimson light came from. Lucky for him, the person in the flight tower had just got up to go to the bathroom before noticing that the an uncertified plane had taken off.

As Logan flew towards the island, he suddenly had a strange feeling like something was wrong. The fact that his left arm was starting to go numb and not rapidly return to normal was a clear sign, but that wasn't what was bothering him… It was all those conversations with his conscience and the question that he kept on asking himself in the back of his mind… "Why am hunting down Jubilee like a dog for Weapon X, when I wouldn't even wish that upon my worst enemy?"
