Chapter 45 - Teasing (1/2)
(Present)
A blue figure sat hunched over a small screen and typed away, every now and then looking at the vial sitting on his desk. The vial was filled with blood, and one of those drops was on a microscope sitting to the side.
Studying the blood for another few seconds and checking the results, Dr. Henry McCoy, also know by ”Beast” to his friends, rubbed his tired eyes. Letting out a small sigh he turned to the 2 other occupants of the room.
The room he was in looked like a medical ward, with a steel metal bed in the middle, a few chairs surrounding it, as well as state of the art equipment hooked up to the person lying on the bed. There was only 1 door into the room.
Hank looked at Laura who was lying unconscious on the bed and spoke to himself after looking at the data again. ”Fascinating.” Saying that simple word, he looked at the person sitting down on the chair next to the bed.
With a beer in hand and an unlit cigar, which Hank had to tell him multiple times to put out while he was working, Logan sat staring at the girl. He had been sitting there for the last few hours and only moved when he had to get a new beer.
The only words that came from his mouth were the low growls that came every other minute. *Clack* *Clack* Pressing a few keys to turn off the display he turned fully to Logan. ”Are you going to continue to sit there? From my calculations she won't be up for another 2 hours.” Logan sent a glance his way before grunting a yes.
Hank shook his head before getting up and moving towards the door. Just before he left he spoke to Logan again. ”Storm, Gambit, Rouge, Scott and a few others will be here when she awakens. Just in case.” Motioning towards the metal cuffs that restrained her arms and legs, he finished. ”I specially designed those cuffs to stop her movement if she wakes up early. You don't have to worry.”
Logan reacted only a bit when Hank mentioned Storm, before he stopped moving and turned his eyes back to Laura. Hank gave a small smirk at the reaction and couldn't help but egg him on. ”Ororo only got back from her trip to Africa a month ago. I think you two should go get a coffee, like you did before she left.”
*Grr* Logan turned to Hank and growled loudly staring him right in the eye. It brought out a small chuckle from Hank before he quickly left the room. ”Just some friendly advice; my friend.” Logan growled louder as he left.
Walking out of the lab Hank was feeling a bit hungry; he decided to grab something to eat before he went to do his report. He would have to inform every one of his findings tomorrow.
