Silence is golden, duct tape is silver
When they returned from Canada, Misha didn’t go back to the penthouse in the city. Dad insisted on taking both boys back to Xavier’s, something about SHIELD and how it wasn’t safe to wander the city with the head office going insane, but it hardly registered. Doc McCoy checked them over, but there was nothing to bandage. His brain was still a scrambled mess thanks to the Weapon X drug cocktail and the killing of Tessa Reece. Combined with the damage Red Room had done, one had nearly put him in a coma. The other only unhinged him.

In the days since the rescue, Misha kept to himself and away from the others. He needed to think, but his mind was a mishmash of images, some real, some not so real. Some kept him from sleeping while others only became clear when he managed to shut his eyes. Always the voice in his head calling him "bear cub" in that smug accent. The command to carry out his primary mission.

His primary mission would kill him, one way or another.

	Natasha shook her head. "Please." She needed to carry her son. She couldn't explain it to herself, let alone him. Maybe it was part of some sort of penance. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	But this was Logan and he understood penance. He let go and stood back, ready to step in if necessary. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha sighed with relief. She wasn't in any shape to argue or fight about anything. She started walking again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The trip to the mansion wasn't fast, but no time was wasted. He answered a psychic inquiry from Xavier, who put McCoy on alert for them. The tranq wouldn't keep Mikey down for long, and Tasha hadn't followed the script of getting away and calling for help. "Did he attack you?" he asked abruptly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Natasha laid her son on one of the beds in the medlab, kissed his forehead and then collapsed in a chair near the bed. "He tried. Couldn't do it." She bowed her head and swallowed past the lump in her throat. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The kid loves you too much. What happened out there?" He moved aside for Hank to exam the kid. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-09-28 12:49 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know exactly." Natasha took a deep breath to center herself. Talking was still hard, but it was coming little by little. "I found him. He saw me and it was like a switch was flipped." She turned away. "Red Room programming kicked in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Logan exchanged a look with Hank. Hank paused in his exam to get the restraints out and secure the patient to the bed. "All these months he's been fine. Must've been somethin' Weapon X did to him. He won't talk about it or what happened with the girl." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Stubborn," Natasha muttered. "He turned the gun on himself when he couldn't shoot me. I got to him before he could do it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That sounded like their kid. Mikey would kill himself before he'd hurt somebody he loved. "We expected somethin' like this might happen. We're all carryin' the tranqs because of it. It was lucky you had one on ya." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

It wasn't luck. Natasha was paranoid enough to carry it with her at all times.

"Xavier's going to have to go through his head." She hated the idea, but her son's head needed to be straightened out. Perhaps they had let it stay like it was for too long. It should have been done months ago.

"I need a drink. Tea preferably." Surprisingly enough she hadn't had a drop of alcohol since before the car bombing.

	"We can manage tea. C'mon, we'll give McCoy some room to work." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-09-28 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Natasha nodded and pulled herself out of the chair. Her body felt sluggish and heavy, or was that just her heart weighing her down? She followed Logan. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	In the kitchen, he put a kettle on and got out a mug. "We can talk to Xavier, but he won't do it if Mikey won't agree. Until we can get it settled, I think you should keep Anya away." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-09-28 01:28 am UTC (link)
	"As much as I hate to say it, it needs to be done. He's a danger to others and himself. Whatever Red Room and Weapon X did to him, it has to be fixed." The thought of someone going in her son's head to fix him twisted her stomach up in a knot. "Anya won't be a problem. S.H.I.E.L.D. has her." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"When did that happen?" he demanded. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-09-28 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"A few days ago," Natasha answered. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"An' you didn't think to mention it sooner?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-09-28 01:42 am UTC (link)
	She so didn't need this right now. "We have it under control. The Avengers are the targets. We are doing something about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-09-28 01:53 am UTC (link)
	He shook his head and turned away to pour boiling water into a mug, and pushed it and a teabag toward her. "When ya get your situation straight, best keep her an' you away from Mikey until we get this under control." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-09-28 01:55 am UTC (link)
	"Thank you," she said as she wrapped her hands around the hot mug. She needed the warmth right now. She nodded. "I don't think sessions with Leonard are enough. I will see what I can get on what Weapon X did to him. That with what we have on Red Room should help Xavier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-09-28 02:08 am UTC (link)
	"He stopped seein' Samson awhile back." He got a beer from fridge and sat down opposite her. "He doesn't ask, I don't talk, but maybe it's time he read the files on his time with Red Room an' whatever we can dig up on the current Weapon X, he'll get an idea what's goin' on in his head an' agree to let Xavier help him."

	"It's worth a try. The kid is so damn stubborn." Natasha sighed and stared into her mug. Her nightmares regarding her son were coming true. Both projects wanted him for their own use. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-09-28 02:18 am UTC (link)
	"He's what we made him, an' he's got a good head anyway. When it's thinkin' straight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-09-28 02:20 am UTC (link)
	"I know," she said quietly. "I just wanted him to have a normal life and stay out of this mess." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
