15 C15 : Meeting the Wolverine Part 1

"It happened when I was younger, I was practicing my teleporting one day... "

...

A small child could be seen jumping around the woods, from tree branch to tree branch, this child looked around 10 years old and he had light blue skin, grey hair, a tail and a four arms.

His entire body was very muscular for someone his age but you could still tell he was a child from the small amount of remaining baby fat on his cheeks.

This child was of course Nick when he was around 8 or 10 years old, he had teleported away from home to train his abilities where no one could see him and be overly worried about his safety like his mother who had been recently super protective, I mean you bring home one measly Bengal tiger as a pet and suddenly everybody looses their minds, Nick thought to himself as he let out a sigh.

He dropped down from the tree he was standing on and walked a couple steps before he heard a movement from behind him, he quickly spun around towards the sound and released his tail stinger, ready to defend himself if necessary.

A section of the forest floor had separated from the ground and was lifted up by the machinery underneath it, a gun turret was now pointed right at him.

"What?" Nick exclaimed surprised by the gun turret that had just risen from the ground.

Before he had the chance to do anything thing else a tranquilizer dart was shot out of the turret and hit him straight in the chest.

"Huh... " Nick slurred his words as he looked down at the dart that was letting it's transparent green contents pour into chest, into his blood stream.

Nick quickly pulled the dart out of his chest with a shaky hand and when he tried to get away by teleporting.

He was only able to teleport a couple meters before he collapsed down to the ground.

Nick was laying flat on the forest floor, breathing heavy with sweat dripping down his forehead, he couldn't move a muscle and when he tried to teleport he just felt his strength get sapped faster so he decided to stop and keep his remaining strength to try and fight off who ever made the gun turret that shot him.

Around 5 minutes passed before Nick could hear steps coming up behind him, they weren't hurried or very loud, you could tell from the sound of the person's walk that they were very light on there feet.

The walking stopped right behind Nick, seconds passed without anything happening, Nick was still breathing heavily but it wasn't as strained as he was before.

The person looked down at Nick and suddenly moved down towards Nick, as the person was crouching down near Nick he took some deep breaths through his nose, like he was smelling Nick.

"What do we have hear?" The man said rhetorically, his voice was rough and it seemed to have an ever present angry tone and his breath stank of cigar smoke and alcohol, Nick could also smell a subtle scent of blood which worried him even more than when the man smelling him.

When Nick was cringing at the foul smell coming from behind him when he could feel a hand grab the back of his head, lifting him off the ground and into the air to face the man who was holding him up with one hand by the back of his head.

"Hahaha, looks like I court myself a little blue mutant." The man laughed in Nick's face, the man had brown hair, a beard that covered most of his face, yellow teeth that looked extra animalistic, with his sharp canines.

"Who are you?" Nick squeezed out between heavy breaths, his heaving chest made his limp body shake in the air.

"Oh, this is a surprise, you're still awake and pretty sharp for someone who got hit by one of Stryker's special tranquilizing darts, hahaha, he could probably use you then." The man grinned sadistically.

When Nick heard that name it made his mind work, thinking of where he had heard that name before and then it suddenly hit him, Stryker is the man who experimented on Wolverine and gave him his adamantium skeleton and claw's and that would also mean that the man before him was Sabertooth, Wolverine's half-brother.

Realising this Nick quickly released his stinger again and used his remaining strength to attack Sabertooth, stabbing him in his chest, near his heart, as quickly as he could.

Sabertooth wasn't expecting Nick to attack him in his current incapacitated state and so he let his guard down around him, the fact that Nick was a child just made him even more lax.

Sabertooth dropped Nick as he clutched at his chest, keeping his hand over his stab wound, he healed fast and he wouldn't die from something as simple as a stab wound to his heart but he didn't heal as quickly as his brother and getting stabbed in the heart f*cking hurt's!

"ARRR~! You little bas*red!" Sabertooth screamed at Nick who was trying to crawl away by clawing at the grass with all his arms, trying to drag himself as faraway from Sabertooth as he could even if he knew that it would be pointless unless he could teleport away and get help.

Sabertooth acted fast and pounced on Nick, he brought his fist back for a powerful strike, punching Nick in the back of his head before Nick even had the chance to try and teleport away.

The strong punch made Nick's head bounce off the forest floor which knocked him out finally.

*Spit!* " How you like that you little b*sturd!" Sabertooth spat out some blood on to the back of Nick's head, right where Nick had a new wound courtesy of Sabertooth, as he stood back up.

Sabertooth removed his bloody hand from his chest and breathed out a shaky breath as his stab wound rapidly healed back together.

Sabertooth then went over to Nick's still body and picked him back up by the back of shirt collar, slinging him over his shoulder as he walked deeper into the forest.

...

"I didn't think that such a little child would be so difficult for you to capture, he was even tranquilized." An unknown voice said close to Nick's still form in a patronising tone.

"Shut it Zero! I didn't know he had a stinger in his tail! Doesn't matter now, he's awake." Sabertooth said as he walked up to Nick who was strapped down to a chair and he then grabbed Nick by his hair to lift his head up to face him; pulling his head violently.

"There's no point in pretending, I can tell from your heart beat that you're no longer asleep." Sabertooth said with his face inches away from Nick's.

Hearing this Nick gave up on his sleeping act and opener his eyes to only come face to face with Sabertooth who was grinning at him.

"Your breath stinks, I would recommend a mint or not eating sh*t like you have been doing so far." Nick said as he made a face as if he was smelling something and he then made a cringing face.

"You little-" Sabertooth shouted as he raised his hand with his yellow claws out ready to slice Nick's throat open but he was stopped buy the shout from the man across from Nick, behind a desk.

"Sabertooth, stop!" The man shouted as he raised himself from his chair, his hands slamming down on his desk.

"Let his head go Sabertooth, we have to show are guest some hospitality after all." The man commanded as he looked from Sabertooth to Nick with a sly smile on his face.

Sabertooth huffed before he let go of Nick's head, he then walked away from Nick to go and lean against the wall to Nick's left.

Taking the chance to look around the room as he pretended to loosen up his neck the metal collar around his neck made that difficult thou, to his right was an Asian man who Nick had heard speak first since waking up, Sabertooth called him Zero, mostly likely Agent Zero from the Wolverine Origin movie.

To his left was Sabertooth, he looked like he did from the Wolverine Origin movie as well, he was currently sending Nick death glares as he picked at the dirt underneath his long finger nails.

Nick then brought his head back to facing the man who had stopped Sabertooth before, he had grey and white short hair and calculating eyes that screamed danger to Nick, this man was most likely Stryker.

"Hello Mr. Stark, I'm William Stryker, I runthe facility you are in now. I'm very glad that you are here, oh and I wouldn't bother trying your abilities, they won't work with that special collar on your neck." Stryker smiled.

That same smile made Nick's blue skin crawl.

...

"ARRR~! Stop!" Nick begged, his scream was filled with pain and suffering.

"Mmm, no can do darling~." The woman behind Nick said in a sweet voice but what she was doing to Nick was anything but that.

She was white woman with long blonde hair, she was wearing some sort of military uniform, the same one Agent Zero was wearing, but unlike Zero she had long nails, very long nails.

They were even sharper then Sabertooth's and it looked like they were somehow made out of metal.

"Dr. Stryker says that I have to put your body through extreme amounts of stress if we want to unlock that x-gene he put inside of you and my personal favourite is torture, hehehe." The woman giggled as she lifted her razor sharp hand back up for another swing at Nick's exposed back.

"ARRR~!" Nick screamed as his back was cut open again and again.

...

Nick was hanging limp from the four chains in his room if you could even call it that, his room was wet, cold and filled with the smell of his own dried blood.

Nick's eyes looked lifeless and hollow, his clothes had long been striped from him by the sadistic blonde woman who had been torturing day after day, from the cuts across his back to water boarding Nick had been through it all and it seemed to have all been for nothing, no new abilities appeared like she said it would.

Nick was on his last legs and he didn't have much hope for his uncle to find him anymore.

Suddenly alarms sounded from the corridor outside Nick's room, minutes passed without it stopping and that's when he started to hear loud rapid bangs from the corridor, someone was fireing their gun, probably at what ever caused the alarm to go off.

The gun fire was getting closer and closer to Nick's door, Nick could also now here screams over the gun fire and alarms.

Seconds passed, the alarm continued but the screaming and gun fire had stopped right outside his door actually.

Nick raised his head and waited, looking straight at the door to see what might come in.

Three long blades pierced the door and cut through it diagonally, sparks and metal strapnal flied from the cuts and the another set of long blades pierced through the door on the other side and cut through it diagonally again, turning it into scrap metal.

A muscular man stepped through the doorway, the man had brown hair that spiked up and backwards even through he was covered in fresh blood and dripping water, oh and he was completely naked as well.

The long blades that he used to cut the door apart were sticking out form his clenched fist's.

"Why is there a kid here?! GRRR! That b*sturd, he won't stop until all mutants are in chains! Hey kid you alright?!"

Nick's first thought was, why is the Wolverine here?, his second was, this is my way out, "Cut me down and I can get us far away from here in seconds, just get this collar off of me." Nick said as he stretched his neck to bring attention to the collar wrapped around it.

Logan studied Nick for a couple seconds, listening to his heart beat to see the if he was lieing but Nick's heart was steady and consistent.

Logan ran up to Nick and took a swing at the chains holding him up and he then did the same to the other side.

Nick dropped from the air right into Logan's outstretched, blood covered arms, his claw's had already been returned to his arms.

"So, how are you going to get us out of here kid?" Logan asked Nick as he looked down at Nick's weak body.

"The collar, it's preventing me from using my powers." Nick said as he used all his arms to try and bring himself up by holding on to Logan's arms, he failed when his arms gave out and he collapsed back into Logan's arms.

"Oh, right." Logan said as he released his middle claw and cleanly sliced through the latch on the collar making it fall to the floor.

"Hold your breath." Nick said before he teleported them both.

"Huh." Logan said confused right before Nick teleported them.

But they only traveled a couple meters into the corridor; reappearing next to the cut up pieces of dead bodies that Logan had left in his wake.

Logan was gasping for air, still feeling sick from the recent teleport but he was still able to hold Nick up, Logan felt bad for the blue kid in his arms and he didn't want him to suffer more by dropping him in to a sea of blood and minced bodies.

"Stryker must have figured out how to teleport proof this building or I'm to weak to do a long distance teleport, either way we have to get out, from there I should be able to teleport us away from this hell hole." Nick explained to Logan.

Logan just nodded his head and then looked around he striped some of the move intact bodies and took their clothes for Nick and himself to wear.

Nick was only able to put on some trousers with his limited strength and Logan had already put on some trousers and a torn up shirt, Logan then grabbed Nick and put him on his back as a piggy back ride, Nick wrapped all his arms around Logan's chest, making an X across Logan's chest.

"Alright let's go kid." Logan said as he released his claw's again, holding his arms down by his sides, running off down another one of the corridor's.

"My name's Nick." Nick replied.

"Logan."
