Polaris x Red Riot male reader

Chapter Five: Red Riot

Author: There will be no Halloween special for this book. Sorry.

In a lab owned by Hank the one used to go by Beast. Charles and Lorna watch as Hank examines you.

Hank: Interesting... Your gene seems to be flickering.

Y/N: What does that mean exactly?

Hank: I'm not quite sure... It is almost like your body can't quite decide if you are a Mutant or not.

Y/N: Am I going to die?

Hank: I wouldn't worry... The flickering of the gene just means that sometimes you will be able to use your powers and sometimes you won't.

You sigh in relief.

Y/N: Dying would suck.

Y/N Mind: I still have so much left to do.

Hank: I should be able to create some temporary doses to help stabilise your gene... But only use it if you are in desperate need of your powers.

Y/N: Yes sir.

Hank laughs.

Hank: There is no need for that... Hank is just fine.

Y/N: Okay Hank... So... You went to an alternate dimension? What was that like?

Hank: Yes... A world where humans were few but still lived in peace with the Mutants... There was a drug that made humans into Mutants... That drug is what cured me.

Y/N: So you know how to cure Mutants?

Hank: Unfortunately not... I only managed to obtain the one dose before I returned.

Lorna: Do you... Do you wish to be normal?

Y/N: No... Who would want to be normal? I just... Feel like if a cure existed peace could be made possible. Humans would see that even if a person loses their abilities... They're still human.

Lorna, Charles and Hank all smile at you.

Hank: Well isn't that a lovely thought.

(Timeskip - A day later)

You sit at the edge of your bed looking at the vials to stabilise your gene for an hour.

Y/N: I wonder if these really work?... Probably best I don't drink one just yet.

You place all but one in a draw and the one in your pocket. You look over to see a very tired Sal.

Sal: Morning.

Y/N: You sure staying up so late was a wise idea?

Sal: Nope but it was worth it... Yeah I should probably make my grand exit today... I do still have to pay the bills and I'll have to work more since you are here.

Y/N: Yeah... Sorry. I do still have money in my account...

Sal: The government have probably frozen your account.

Y/N: Shit.

Sal: Don't worry... If I get desperate I'll start a gang and rob some banks.

You laugh knowing Sal is joking. (Or is he?)

Sal: First I must eat the breakfast.

Y/N: I'll join you.

(Timeskip - Twenty minutes later)

You, Sal, Lorna and even Laura sit together eating.

Laura: Hey Lorna... You're a woman.

Lorna: So are you... Where is this going?
