Marvel: A Symbiotic Life

"I'm sorry. Did I say I was going to give it back now?" Max was now sitting on a chair not far from them. Sitting crossed leg as he was lazily eying them.

"Dude you can teleport." Nightcrawler awed but was stopped by Scott's glare.

"Oh, I can do much more." Max smiled, tossing the disk on-air catching it. "But sadly I need help, and I am not going to go until you provide."

Charles frowned. "What kind of 'help' do you need?"

"Professor you can't be serious. He's a criminal." Scott argued, but Charles raised his hand stopping him.

"You guys are hypocrites, you know that? But… Never mind." Max sighed., "I want you to locate a mutant by the name X-23."

Having being accused was not one of the things Cyclops had expected. Even Charles frowned at the statement, why call them hypocrites. But he kept his mouth shut until he heard the last statement. That meant somehow Max knew that Charles could find out the locations of mutants. Did he know about Cerebro (Mutant Detector).

"May I ask the reason?" Charles said.

"Well, how should I start… Um, It's related to the one called James Howlett, the one you guys call Wolverine. You know big guy, wild attitude… " Max said pausing as if waiting.

A gruff man slammed the door open, he was a tall guy with a broad c.h.e.s.t and had wild look on his face. "Okay, bub." He said, almost growling like an animal. "How do you know me. Spit it… or…" he said, pulling out his claws from his fist.

"Sure…" Max said sarcastically. Though he was really glad to meet this wild horse of a mutant. And he looked even better in real life, even buffer than Hugh Jackman that played him in the movies. "But before you throw an anger tantrum on me. Just sit down and listen."

The statement didn't seem to ease him down a bit. "So, yeah, when Wolverine was experimented on. There were other things that may or may not have been done to him. Like keeping and storing his blood and… other bodily fluids from him.

"And when he escaped. The ones funding the project wanted more from him. So, they somehow, if I am not wrong created X-23. So long story short the child is his daughter or biological daughter at least."

Wolverine opened his mouth to speak, but couldn't utter a word. He was horrified about the statement. He wanted to hide from his past. But it always kept running up. "You can't be serious…"

"Oh, believe me. I am, I have checked the data and it matches. And the sad part is, she is being used as an experimental subject. A man-made weapon, if I am not wrong." Max said, before sighing, shaking his head. "So, I kinda need her location."

"What do you want to do with her?" Wolverine asked with a frown.

"Save her of course." Max shrugged, "You have something better. I am not like the wheel-chair professor and glasses over there that preach unity while never acting."

"We aren't like Magneto." Cyclops aka Scott Summers shot back.

"No, but you guys are lazy. All that power, not being used, I wouldn't mind if some of you want to lead a normal life. But if you want people to start looking at you from a different leans, then I suggest start acting towards it." Max said, "I don't trust you guys neither do you trust me. I can probably get her location in a day or two. But just remember those hours of pain and suffering will be on you."

"Prof. get her location," Wolverine said, after a brief pause. "I will go with him just to make sure."

"You can't be serious…" Scott protested.

"Scott what if he's right?" this time Charles was the one who spoke.

"Did you read his mind?" Scott asked. Professor didn't read other people's minds unless he needed to, so it was a wonder that he did.

But the professor shook his head. "No, I can't. He is blocking my powers somehow." He said, looking at Max.

Max just played it cool, he wasn't going to share his powers with some nobodies. Not all of them at least.

After the meeting, the professor went on and used Cerebro to find out where the girl is. And after that, it was decided that Wolverine would come with Max. The others wanted to go too. But the professor deemed Max to be too dangerous. He didn't trust him.

The professor was of course hiding things. He knew more about Max. He was an anomaly in Cerebro. Suddenly a month ago, his X-gene signal was picked up. But what he found odd was that. His signal was very much similar to Sebastian Show.

The professor thought of a few reasons as to how that could happen. Thinking that maybe the Hell-Fire club funded a research project to made Artificial Mutants.

But then he found out from Emma that Shaw was dead. And it was when they attacked Wakanda. The Professor was angry that they would attack a nation, even knowing that Ororo was from there.

So he didn't pay heed to the subject at the time. He just kept tabs on his signal from time to time. But then it changed again. The X-gene signal print had changed to something else. It was as if it was getting hidden.

The professor then, later on, came to know that it was from a person called Max. An associate of Spider-Man. Maybe he was with the Avengers, he thought. But the actions he kept taking seemed more bizarre as it went on.

And the professor would never forget the day when the sixty-plus Mutant signal went missing. As if someone had killed them. And after a bit of investigation, he found out what happened. Almost all of those mutants were criminals that were associated with the Hell-Fire Club or the Hand.

They were criminals, the professor agreed with that, but did everyone deserve death? He didn't know. Max had done good, there was no doubt about that. But he was also killing a lot of people to do so. What if he had hidden agendas.

This was why he kept the rest of the information secret. He wanted to hide all of it. But after what had happened with Jean, he wasn't sure it was the best of ideas.

And that was how a few members such as Cyclops, Wolverine, and Beast came to know about it. He would have like to discuss the matter with Hank McCoy(Beast), but after what happened with Jean, Hank didn't trust him anymore. He didn't tell Cyclops, he knew that it would bring more misery.
