You flip through the magazine as you wait for Jean to get the x-rays ready.
"So you're like, invincible?"
You turn to look at Scott. The visor at first was slightly intimidating since it hid his eyes but his tone of voice was nice.
"Eh?" You utter. He shrugs.
"I mean you have like hundreds of mutations right? So you're kinda invincible right?"
You smile. "I don't have hundreds of mutations, just more than I need. And no, just because I have a lot of them doesn't make me invincible. It's the fact that I can easily gain mutations making me have a longer life. The mutations I have are actually a drawback. I get tired very easily when I use them. Before I had about just six or seven mutations and I was fine, but the more they increase, the more I become weak. So I actually don't enjoy being invincible."
"So you are invincible!" Scott grins. You roll your eyes at him. "But when did you start becoming The Prism? Vigilantism and all that?" Thankfully you didn't have to answer him.
"Let's get started." Jean says clapping her hands. You put down the magazine, dog-earring the page you'd been reading. The lights dim until the room is utterly dark with the only light coming from the x-ray panel.
She points to the first sheet. You notice the different knobs and graphing to the skeleton but what you stare at most is the skull.
"The metal is an alloy called adamantium. Supposedly indestructible. It's been surgically grafted to his entire skeleton."
"It is indestructible." You butt in. "The only thing that can cut adamantium is adamantium. There's also rumors that it can cut vibranium, but because their both incredibly rare no one knows. Their both very valued and sold for very high prices on the black market. Who ever did the operation must have been rich. I mean, scarily rich or in high places."
"How could he have survived a procedure like that?" Ororo asks the question you're wondering.
"His mutation. He has uncharted regenerative capability, which enables him to heal rapidly. This also makes his age impossible to determine. He could very well be older than you, Professor." Jean says and you look at Charles who's face is in a deep frown.
"Who did this to him?" Scott asks.
Jean shrugs and leans against the wall. "He doesn't know. Nor does he remember anything about his life before it happened."
You share a look with Charles.
"Experimentation on mutants." He says and looks away from you before they notice. He sighs. "It's not unheard of." He moves his wheelchair forward to get a better look. "But I've never seen anything like this before."
"What do you think Magneto wants with him?" Scott asked.
"I'm not entirely sure it's him Magneto wants." Charles mumbles.
The room stays quiet and everyone jolts when you get up, the sound of your metal chair being pushed grating on everyone's ears.
"I'm off. Might grab a bite before bed." You walk over to Charles and kiss his head. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight dear." He smiles.
You turn and wave at the X-MEN. "'Night." You say before teleporting to upstairs. And almost bumping into a person walking right at you. "Yah!" You blurt in surprise.
"AAHG!" Logan cries before realizing it's you. "The fuck woman!" You look at his hands to see his claws are out and you notice that you're in a stance too.
"What do you mean the fuck!" You hiss. "You scared me!"
"I scared you? You scared the shit out of me! Popping out of nowhere! You could have given a kid a heart attack!"
"Well I didn't did I?!"
"But you could have!"
"But I didn't! I scared the shit out of a grown ass man who shrieks like a girl instead!"
"I did not!"
"Yes you did!"
"Did not!"
"Did!"
"Well what are you doing sprouting out of nowhere for!"
"I thought everyone was in bed!"
"Well as you can see, I'm still fucking awake!"
"Since everyone else is asleep why don't you stop shouting!"
"So are you!"
"Fine! Then we'll both stop shouting and act like this never happened!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
You glare at each other before he straightens up and retracts his claws. You frown and step out of your stance. You look at each other as you both fidget in the silence. You're the first one to break the silence.
"Hot chocolate?"
"Sure."
