Logan and Xander made their way down the corridor towards the med lab in utter silence, Xander muttering under his breath all the way.
Just before reaching the door Logan turned to Xander ‘Listen, I said I was sorry you know.’ he then noticed that Xander was nervously shifting from one foot to the other ‘What’s got you so antsy? You look ready to bolt any minute.’
Xander gave a weary sigh ‘I hate tests and things that remind me of hospitals, I *really* hate hospitals.’
‘Same here kid, no need to worry. Not really a proper hospital in there, just a bit of equipment and a couple extra items, nothing much.’ he gave Xander a small one armed hug. ‘Besides you’ve got me.’
That one sentence made Xander feel suddenly better and a broad smile spread over his face, he was about to say something back, but Dr McCoy opened the door before he could.
‘Good morning gentlemen. Nice of you to show up, punctual as ever aren’t you Logan.’ he quipped.
‘Hey, it wasn’t my fault.’ Xander gave Logan a pointed look, reminding him about what he had walked in on as he entered Xander’s room and then having to encourage Xander to come out of the bathroom because he was too embarrassed, ‘Ok, so it was partially my fault.’ Xander scoffed at the statement.
‘Ok if we can get started. Good morning Alexander.
‘Hello Dr McCoy and Xander, please.’
Ok, Xander, are we ready then?’
‘Um . . yeah, sure.’ he fidgeted nervously.
‘No need to worry Xander. Please, if you could take off your shirt, we can take the blood samples.’ Dr McCoy pointed towards where Xander could sit, the examination table.
Xander sat ready and waiting for Dr McCoy to come over, shirt of leaning with his arms behind him on the table, Logan couldn’t help but stare at him, he wondered if the muscles he was seeing were the result of his mutation or just taking care of himself, well that was the reason he was giving for staring.
Dr McCoy finished taking the blood samples and was about to apply pressure to the wound when he realised that it had healed over. He wiped away the slight trickle of blood and revealed that the needle wound had indeed healed over.
‘Interesting.’
‘What?’ both Logan and Xander said at the same time.
Dr McCoy answered detachedly as he was getting ready to investigate the blood samples he had just taken. ‘Well it seems that Alexander may also have the ability to rejuvenate himself, just as you can Logan. The wound from the needle has closed up and completely gone, but I will have to test the blood to find out for sure.
Xander sat with his shirt back on checking over his arm, trying to see for himself whether he had healed or not, right now he still couldn’t see a scar.
Dr McCoy came back over a weird expression on his face, he was shaking his head as if in denial.
‘What’s the matter Doc? Something wrong? Am I dying? Oh God I’m dying, how much longer do I have to live? Tell me it’s longer then today, I don’t think I could handle a shorter time . . ..’
‘Kid, shut it.’ Xander couldn’t be bothered to glare at the name he just waited for Dr McCoy’s response.
‘From the …um . . .well, the testing of your blood Xander, I’ve found out that . . .’ Dr McCoy stuttered out.
‘Spit it out Hank, we ain’t got all day.’ Logan growled.
Hank couldn‘t help it he blurted out the information he had found ‘ . . .he’s . . .he’s Sabretooth’s son.’
Logan’s claws instinctively went out at the mention of Sabretooth’s name, it couldn’t be, not this kid, they had been getting close, how could he deal with this, maybe it wasn’t right. However looking closely at Xander he could smell a slight resemblance to his enemy, why had he never picked it up before. Logan was shaken out of his thinking by Xander touching his arm gently, it felt like an electric shock, so he quickly pulled away, Xander looked hurt.
‘I don’t understand. Who’s Sabretooth?’ Xander looked at Logan’s turned away face and then back at Hank’s face, silently asking for some information.
Seeing the look on Xander’s face Hank began to talk, ‘Sabretooth is a bad guy Xander, he was . . . still is an assassin, lately he has been working for a man named Magneto, a very strong mutant who wants all humans gone so mutants can rule, like he believes they were meant to.’ Hank shook his head sadly, what a family Xander was being flung into, violent killer father and mutant hater brother, Xander’s life was going to be that much harder now.
‘Do you know this guy Logan?’ Xander tried to get Logan to talk to him, but he just wouldn’t look at him.
‘Yeah, I know him kid, bad guy is one of the nicer words for him.’ he paused for a long moment and walked away from Xander to talk to Hank,
‘ . . I’ll be going out for a bit, ok. Tell Chuck if he asks.’ then he was off out of the lab, leaving Xander feeling more alone then ever.
‘I’ll . .I’ll be going back to my room now.’ Xander spoke quietly, mainly to himself as he too left the lab and wandered back to his room.
Xander lay on his bed just thinking, Logan hated him and that thought alone made him feel sick. Logan in this short time had become someone Xander could latch onto, a friend even, it was weird feeling this close to someone after only a few days and the fact Xander was attracted to Logan made him feel even worse, almost like his heart hurt, which sounded far too feminine for his liking.
Thinking a bit more Xander then came to the realisation of who had done this to him, caused him the loss of Logan as a friend, at this sudden awareness Xander felt a fierce rage build in him against the people that had caused so much hurt in his life, his voice boomed and sparks crackled over his body as he said a spell, one he didn‘t know, but did instinctively, almost like it was ingrained into his brain,
‘Permissum illud of lux lucis exsisto ostendo.’
All of a sudden both Xander and the oracles were back once again in the glowing white room, Xander’s powers still crackling menacingly.
‘We didn’t expect this.’ there was a glimpse of surprise in both the oracles’ faces, but it quickly disappeared.
A/N: Permissum illud of lux lucis exsisto ostendo - Latin for ‘Let those of light be shown.’ I thought it sounded better in Latin. More magical.
