Inhumans; You ARE The Father
9/3/1945, Guardsmen Barracks, Attilan
The Guardsmen had all been looking towards each other before there was a noise, that made them look towards each other before they saw it was Auran who was screaming now, a noise that made the group all shocked by the sight as a rash had started to cover her body, one that made Auran start to cough and fall to the gorund, she was coughing blood now.
“Somebody get the healers!” Gorgon shouted as her body started to shift between herself and her human form, the boils starting to affect her greatly now as she looked towards the worm who was looking towards her with a broken terrigen crystal, making her try to reach towards him, snarling as she had felt her hand break and restructure itself over and over right now.

9/3/1945, Vinatos’s Lab, Terrigen Lab
Vinatos had looked towards the child that he had been caring for so long, and it was making the Inhuman take a breath right now, looking towards everything, at least until he saw that there was more and more boils coming on now which was making him worried, he went to look towards the disease and it was making him all the more worried right about now as he started on a procedure.
The Chief Medical Regent, the two of them alone for the moment before they had eventually started to move now, the bot was getting more and more worried until he noticed that there were some of the Royal Family there, specifically there was Gorgon with Mesili and Myrra who had been concerned, “Is Auran okay? What caused this?” The male commander of The Guardsmen had requested.
That made the Vinatos take a breath as he went to explain, “All of her life, Auran has had an allergy to Terrigen.” he said towards him, making the trio look towards them with some confusion, “Then how did she–?” “At great risk, she had nearly died after her Terrigenesis.” Vinatos told them, making the Inhumans look towards him with shock, “How has an allergy like this happened?” Myrra asked of him.
That made Vinatos take a breath, “It was caused by none other than her father, a man that has not stepped foot onto Attilan in a long time.” he said and hearing that, Gorgon and the others look towards him with some confusion, “How could Phaeder be the father of–?” “Not Phaeder, another that I am forbidden speaking of.” he said and hearing that, the group was confused.
“Would his biology be able to save Auran?” Myrra asked, making the Regent think, “It could, but we would only need to gather a blood sample which–” “Where is he?” Gorgon asked of him, making Vinatos look towards him, “What?” he asked, “I’ll go and–” “Don’t be ridiculous, Gorgon.” Mesili said towards her mate, “You would stand out, I’m the only one that can do so.” she said.
Hearing that, the group looked towards her as Mesili crossed her arms, “If you give me a location to search and I will take his blood.” the man said and hearing that, the man sighed before he eventually went to take one of the trackers that was installed, “Here he is, in a place called Alberta.” he said, hearing that, Mesili nodded as she walked to Lockjaw and find out what was going on.

9/3/1945, Howlett Estate, Cold Lake
Mesili had teleported in thanks to Lockjaw and as she looked around, the Royal Guardsman had looked around, making sure that she was telepathically shielding herself from whatever onlookers that were nearby when she had entered, scanning through everything that was there, she saw that there were portraits of family members, a man who looked old with a couple and young boy.
Another had been of the same three adults older with a new boy who looked more sickly, but what drew her attention was none other than the second small boy who was with two more children which was making Mesili curious what happened to the first boy when she started to see photographs of two men now, one of them had looked wild, his face covered in scars while another looked like a willow tree.
He was confused by the sight of them as more and more time went off, some of them were of the Willow Tree in Japan, more of them were with the scarred man who was enjoying the jungles there, seeing everything, the woman was confused which one it was when she heard a clicking, one that made her turn and see that there was the scarred man wearing a trenchcoat and a Canadian army helmet.
“Who the Hell are you and what The Hell are you doing in Johnny’s house?” he asked, making Mesili glare towards him, “I am here for the blood of the one who came to Attilan.” she told him, making the man confused, “What in The Sam Hill is a Attilan?” he asked, answering her question, “So I’m looking for the other, good to know.” Mesili said, looking around, “Where can I find him?” she asked of him.
That made the scarred man fire at her, hitting Mesili’s shoulder, but the bullet didn’t even break the skin, “I take it that ‘Johnny’, is the one that I am looking for?” she asked of the man, making him glare towards her before pulling out a ax from his side, one that was covered in runes that were glowing and making the woman curious as he vanished, only to appear behind her now.
That made Mesili glare, “It’s about his daughter.” Mesili said towards him, making the man pause, “Nice try, Johnny doesn’t have kids.” he told her, making the woman angrier, “Tell him, Attilan.” she snarled, making the man curious as he went to touch a circle that was attached to his throat, “Hey, Johnny,” he said to him, “Why didn’t you tell me you had a daughter in some place called Attilan?” he asked.
Hearing that, Mesili looked towards him with some hostility as he seemed to be listening, “Alright.” The man said before he sheathed the ax, “Sorry about that, me and Johnny have had some enemies over the years.” He said before offering his hand, “Dog Logan, at your service.” he said to her, hearing that, Mesili took his hand, “Mesili Amastheno.” she told him.
Dog smirked before he motioned for him to follow, “Come on, we have to head to the study.” The man said, going and walking towards the room now and as they did so, she saw how there were artifacts that were from many places around the world, they either had a J or a D by them and as she looked over the collection, Dog had stopped by a doorway that seemed very sturdy.
“The study.” he said to him, there was no handle, no lock, and it was making Mesili curious right now before the door opened, “Come in.” the man said to him, and as Mesili looked at him, she had thought that he was almost like a animal, one of the feral beasts that were made for a fast and long runs, like a wolf, “You told Dog about my daughter in Attilan?” he asked, making Mesili nod.
“That is correct, I am here because she has an allergy that is killing her, we need your blood to–” “What allergy?” he asked, making her pause, “Pardon?” she said to him, “What kind of allergy? Nut? Bee? Some form of insect that I have no prior knowledge of?” he asked and hearing that, Mesili took a breath, “Terrigen.” she told him, making John pause now, “How much?” he asked her.
That made Mesili think, “The more the better.” she said and hearing that, John nodded, he lifted hi right hand and extended three bone claws from his knuckles that he had then used to slice through his forearm, tearing a limb off now that he offered towards Mesili, “Will this do?” he asked, making the woman shocked that he would do as much, “We didn’t require–!” “It will grow back.” he told her.
That made the Inhuman a bit curious by that statement as he went to open the door, “Dog, may you please supply me with a briefcase.” he said and hearing that, Dog sighed, “Another limb?” he asked, making the man nod at that as Dog went to get one, “Please, stay for dinner.” he offered, making the woman confused, “I shouldn’t, Auran needs–” “Then please, at least tell me what she’s like.” he said to her.
That made Mesili take a breath before thinking, “She’s strong, a survivor and a warrior,” Mesili told him, “She’s been walking this Earth with plenty of stories, having been a spy, a pirate, and a merchant of many types.” she explained and hearing that, the man chuckled, “Are there any photographs of my daughter?” he asked, making the woman smile, “I believe there was one in Hawaii.” Mesili said.
That made John Howlett curious by that before he saw John Howlett there with the case now, “Thank you, John Howlett.” Mesili said towards them with a bow, going to leave now until she was in a more open area, “Lockjaw!” she shouted, making the canine appear now with a happy bark, that made her smile back towards him, “We have everything, let’s go.” she told him.
With that, the canine had approached, smiling as she held onto his scruff, “Live well.” Mesili said to them before they vanished, making both Dog and John look towards the area where she had vanished from and that made both of them smile towards the scene that had been there before looking to Dog, “Find her, take a photograph, now.” he ordered, making Dog nod as he went to do as much now.

Mesili had appeared before them now and as she did so, the case was offered to Vinatos who opened it, “You didn’t–?” “No.” Mesili told him, “He severed the limb for her.” she said, making them look towards the item as Vinatos started to collect samples that were there, looking at everything that was there and seeing the gene in question, “It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough.” he said.
The man went to start working while Myrra looked towards her friend, “So then, what was he like?” she asked, making Mesili take a breath, “He was… I don’t know what to say, I only met him for a moment before he offered the limb.” she said to her as Myrra saw the hole, “But he shot you?” She asked, making Mesili shake her head, “No, that was caused by his companion, Dog Logan.” she said.
That made Vinatos pause, “Did you say Dog Logan?” he asked, making both look towards him and nod towards him right now as they started to talk now, “But what was her father doing with that treasure hunter?” Vinatos said towards them, making the pair look as he worked, “Treasure Hunter?” Myrra asked as Vinatos nodded, going and pulling out a portrait that he had.
It was an image of the man that Mesili had seen who seemed to be wearing a fur covered jacket that was almost hiding his scars as well as the large beard that he was wearing now while he and a young Vinatos were looking towards the large beast that was by them, “He was hunting down something called a Deviant at the time.” he said and hearing that, the group were curious.
They had never seen anything like that before now and as they saw that the boils were starting to recede now, the Inhumans had been a bit relieved now when Vinatos had pulled out something else from the case, “What’s this?” he asked, making Mesili look at it, “To my daughter.” It said, making The Inhuman figure out what he had done, “That’s for Auran.” she said towards him.
Hearing that, the Regent nodded as they started to look at everything before they saw that there was some recession now, “It will take a while, but it seems that the treatment will be helping.” he explained, making the two of them smile towards that, glad that they were out of any danger at the moment now and as they had went to leave her alone for the moment.

Auran had woken up, groaning right now when she saw that Maximus was waiting for her, “Auran? Are you okay?” he asked of her and hearing that, she nodded, smiling until she noticed the letter, “To my daughter.” Which was making her curious, “What’s that?” she asked, taking it, “Don’t know, it was just left here.” he said, not knowing what it was as he observed her.
Curious, Auran went to open it, “Greetings, my daughter,” It had said to her, “You are probably wondering how I was able to write this so quickly, the reason for that is that Dog, an associate of mine, is able to manipulate time and space, allowing me to know about your friend and create the letter that is before you.” It wrote, making Auran a bit surprised by how this… Dog was like Lockjaw in a way.
“I am sad that I was unable to see you, Mesili told me a little bit about you, so it seems that I should do the same with myself.” He wrote to her, “My names is John Howlett Junior, son of John Howlett and Elizabeth Howlett, born 3/10/1827 and was raised with Dog Logan.” He continued, making the woman surprised that he was that old it seemed even as she wondered how old she would be.
“You have a uncle, James Howlett, son of Elizabeth Howlett and Thomas Logan, making him the brother of Dog Logan and both Victor and Clara.” He told them which was making the woman wonder how many family members they had in question, “We are Strangers, those that were born with incredible gifts like myself, me and my brother having six claws, though I have the ability to phase through anything and hide myself.”
“I do not know if you have a bit of strange like me or if your terrigenesis was the reason for this, I hope that you will recover soon and able to live your life however you wish.” He continued, making her smile towards that, “If you ever come back to The United States, I will be at either The Howlett Estate or in Las Vegas in The Medieval.” He continued towards her.
That made her smile as she saw that there was more and more inside, seeing it all, there were photographs which showed John Howlett, a scarred man who had the name Dog Logan written on the back who had been working with him, some in a British uniform and a few others that had him appear a bit like a wild man before she observed a few more that were there.
Auran saw that there was two raven haired men, one of them was shorter and had his arms crossed as he was dressed in a suit, another was taller than him and was dressed in a black coat, his claws at the ready as he grinned menacingly, another was of a blonde woman who had a scar on half her face, a long braid wearing a uniform in the woods now, she seemed kind but there was a fierceness there.
The last one was of a large man with long blonde hair, he had dark eyes and seemed more feral than before now as he wore a large coat which had a fur lining, making him seem more like an animal than the others, the last one having a Asian woman in leather who looked like she was ready to kill coldly, “James Howlett, Victor Creed, Clara Creed, Saul Creed, Kirika Yashida.”
Auran smiled, this was her fathers family, this was a connection she had to the outside world and as Auran observed all of it, the Inhuman had went to pocket them now, glad for the images there until noticing that there was a expression on Maximus’ face, “Are you alright?” she asked of him, making the Prince take a breath, “How did this happen?” he asked of her.
Taking a breath, Auran spoke, “There was this worm, and then there was a green mist that hit me, Terrigen Mist, and it made me feel sick, so sick that my body had been burning from the inside out.” she explained and hearing that, Maximus started to get angry right about now before he looked towards her, “Thank you for letting me know,” he told her, “I’ll make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

“ALVEUS!” He shouted out in anger, looking around for The Worm as it started to crawl out from its hiding place, looking towards him with a smile right now and as he did so, Maximus pulled out a pistol to fire at him, but Alveus just sigh, “Oh, calm down.” He said towards Maximus who glared at that statement, “I knew that it wasn’t going to kill her.” The Worm said towards him.
But Maximus was not convinced, “You were testing it.” He said to The Worm as he sat on his old jar, “I saw that there was a chance that her species would be able to fight against us. So I wanted to see if there was a way to subdue, maybe even kill them.” He said and hearing that, Maximus raised an eyebrow, “I was unaware that we were going to war with her father’s people.” he said to him.
“They are immune to my parasites, they’ll be more difficult to deal with.” He said and hearing that, the Inhuman glared towards him, “Then you should have spoken to Phaeder, it would have been easier to use one unconnected to Attilan.” he said to him and hearing that, Alveus chuckled, “There are two reasons for Auran being the test subject.” He told the man.
The first reason is that their genetics are randomized, they do not have a organized group that we can target at the moment.” Alveus had told him, “Also, there is a need to make sure that it cannot be easily treated, the fact that it required the genetics of a parents for a half–Inhuman means that they cannot do so easily.” He continued which made Maximus think, “So we’ll be going to war one day?” he asked.
That made the Worm nod, “Yes… we’ll be going to war one day, and on that day, we are going to be the victors.” Alveus said towards him and hearing that, Maximus started to think, “Run your tests by me again, that way I can cover for you.” Maximus told him, “But if you try anything like that again, I will drown you in salt.” he threatened, making Alveus chuckle at the

Phaeder looked over at the information that he had been working with and as he did so, he started to hear the sound of none other than Alveus, “It seems that our tests with Essex Men is proving to be useful.” He said towards Phaeder who nodded as he looked over the files on Captain America’s child right now and as he saw how the child seemed fine, Phaeder had an idea.
“Question, can you influence enhanced humans?” He asked of the creature, making the child seem to get agitated as he started to see the worm, “No, at worst I would eat him from the inside out.” The creature told him and hearing that, Phaeder sighed, “Alright then, I guess we’ll have to deal with him using HYDRA techniques.” He said towards him now.
Taking a breath, the man had went and looked at how he would develop the person in question, he saw that there was already some enhancements there that were making him take a breath before going to get the first thing in question, it was a recording of a song that he had been supplied by the members of HYDRA who had infiltrated, using the subtle techniques they developed.
He started to play an american lullaby now, Phaeder could already hear the sound of the tones that were related to the message, he had been looking towards the child who seemed to calm down right about now and as he did so, Phaeder had sighed at the little changes, curious on how he was going to end up when he was older now before said scientist went to his other works.

9/5/1945, Sub–City, Attilan
The Alpha Primitives had been looking over everything that was there and as they did so, the group saw that Maximus was looking at them with some glee, “SO then! Time for our next lesson!” he said to them, making The Alpha Primitives all stand at attention, watching him at the moment before he spoke, “I want each and every one of you to make sure that you remember your lessons!”
“The Inhumans are enemies! Maximus is King!” They had told him and hearing that, Maximus smiled, liking the sight of that before he started to talk amongst them now and as he looked over everything, the Inhuman smiled, “Good! Now get back to work!” He ordered of them and hearing that, the Alphans started to get to building on the machinery that they were taught and recommended by Maximus.
Looking towards them all, Maximus saw that there was some progress with his army, they had their weaponry removed from the hidden crevices, Aireo and some of the others he acquired all helping and instructing them as they gotten closer and closer towards their final goal, and if he was lucky, then they would be able to get everything done on 1999.
