"Alright, Mutt, you've slept long enough. Wake up."
Wolf groaned and curled up tighter. He didn't know why, but even with the nourishment last night, he was still too exhausted to wake.
"I'm warning you, Mutt. Wake up now, Maggie wants to see you."
Wolf didn't respond. Then he gasped and opened his eyes wide as claws raked across his backside. "Hey!" he growled at Sabretooth.
"I warned you," Sabretooth looked at him. "Now get up. Magneto thinks you drank the milk and you're going to start cooperating now. He wants to talk to you."
Wolf groaned and laid his head down. "Can't it wait? I'm tired."
Sabretooth rolled his eyes. "He don't wait for anyone. What's wrong? You slept long enough."
"I don't know, I'm too tired to move."
Sabretooth growled. "Fine, I'll get some coffee, that should wake you up enough." He left, and in about twenty minutes he was back with a mug. "Here, drink this."
Wolf looked at the dark brown liquid. It smelled bitter. Like plants. "I don't want it," he scrunched his nose.
"Well drink it!" Sabretooth glared.
Wolf huffed and closed his eyes as he gulped the whole thing down.
"Good," Sabretooth picked him up, "I'm taking you to Maggie's office, you'll be awake by the time I let him know you're there."
Sabretooth carried him to a large room with a desk and some cabinets, everything made out of metal. He set Wolf in a chair, then left to find Magneto.
Magneto was relaxing in another room with some classical music playing as he sipped some tea. Sabretooth approached him.
"The Mutt's waiting for you."
Magneto sighed, annoyed that his peace was interrupted. "Is he willing to talk?"
"That's up to you to find out," Sabretooth growled, "It's not my problem."
Magneto glared at him, annoyed. "Watch the tone," he warned as he stood up and began walking back to his office.
Sabretooth snarled slightly and followed him.
Magneto opened the door to his office, then froze. "What happened here?" He looked to Sabretooth for explanation.
The office was a holy terror. Papers were scattered everywhere, some torn. One of his cabinets was knocked over, the other somehow moved halfway across the room. His computer lay on the floor in pieces. Every electric cord in the room appeared chewed through. He looked around for the culprit, but the boy wasn't in sight. Then there was a loud CRACK!
Magneto peered around his desk and saw Wolf chewing on the chair leg. "What do you think you are doing?" he snapped.
Wolf looked up, wide-eyed, then glanced past Magneto and saw the open door. He went from zero to an indistinguishable blur in less than two seconds.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Sabretooth tried to grab him as he raced out the door, but missed.
Magneto looked at Sabretooth, barely keeping his anger under control. "What did you give him?"
Sabretooth took a step back. "He was exhausted, so I just gave him some coffee. It wasn't even half a cup!" He flinched slightly at the glare Magneto gave him.
"You will go and catch him, then make sure this doesn't happen again," Magneto growled, "And then you will clean up this mess he made in my office!" He turned away and angrily walked back to his tea and music.
Sabretooth sighed, then sniffed the air to catch the little brat. When he did find him, Wolf was staring at one of the pictures on the wall that Mystique had put up to make the place more homey. It was a picture of a bird. The boy was staring at it, mesmerized. And he was drooling.
"Get back here, Mutt!" Sabretooth growled angrily.
Wolf snapped his head around to look at him, then took off running again on all fours.
"Arrrgh!" Sabretooth rubbed his temples, then chased after him.
Wolf looked over his shoulder and saw Sabretooth chasing him. He grinned. "Play! -!" he ran faster.
"No! We are not playing, Mutt! I am going to kill- yaaaaaaaaah!"
Wolf had suddenly stopped in his tracks, causing Sabretooth to trip over him and skid into the wall.
"Frog!" Wolf gasped, sniffing the air. He ran into a room. "-!"
A few seconds later there was a loud scream. "Get 'im off me! Get 'im off me!"
Sabretooth groaned and scrabbled back to his feet, then ran into the room. He had to laugh.
Wolf was biting Toad's leg. "Stay still, frog! Wanna eat!"
"Yeeoooooow! Get off me, you little monster!" Toad kicked at him.
Sabretooth smirked and grabbed Wolf by the back of his neck. "Good dog," he chuckled, "But you can eat him later. We have some unfinished business."
Toad whimpered and grabbed his leg, then hobbled out of the room.
Sabretooth watched as Toad left, still laughing about it. Wolf smiled at him and rubbed his head against him happily.
Sabretooth sighed and rubbed his head. "Who knew the x-men started carrying weapons of mass destruction?" he mused.
Wolf beamed at him, then bit his hand hard.
"Ow!" Sabretooth pulled his hand away and gave him a glare. "That does it, brat!" He narrowed his eyes at Wolf's look of confusion. "I don't care what you do to trash the place, but you don't bite me!" He sat down in one of the chairs and put Wolf over his lap, baring him bottom in one quick movement.
Wolf yawned.
Sabretooth brought his hand down with a loud SMACK!
Wolf flinched and laid his head down.
"I'm in a lot of trouble because of you, mutt!" Sabretooth growled as he spanked him, "And I wasn't even going to do anything to you, then you bit me! I oughtta-"
"Zzz"
Sabretooth paused and stared at him. "Did Did you just fall asleep?"
He didn't get a response. Wolf was dead to the world. Just as soon as his energy came, it left, and the sugar crash had put him to sleep.
Sabretooth rolled his eyes and picked the boy up. "You're more trouble than you're worth," he muttered as he carried him back to the cell.
