New York City....Underground Sewers
Human Rebel 1: Sir, we have some bad news.
Human Rebel 2: Yes sir, your father...is dead. We heard about it. A female mutant just killed him.
Jason Stash: I...see.
Human Rebel 1: Sir, we don't only have that problem. There are other problems we have to deal with.
Jason: I heard enough. We'll make them pay for what they did to my dad.
Human Rebel 1: With all due respect sir, we have to think of a way to kill Wanda Maximoff.
Human Rebel 2: Yes sir. If we don't act fast, who knows what might she do to us. She could wipe out the entire human race from existence.
Jason: I'm well aware of that. But we have a bait to finish her off.
Human Rebel 1: What's that, sir?
Jason: I negotiated with a mutant who has telescopic vision.
Human Rebel 1: I see. Then...that's good, sir. But how did you convince this mutant of yours?
Jason: By exchange of money and freedom. He only cares about that. Nothing else. He doesn't want to do anything with this human-mutant war thing.
Human Rebel 2: But are you going to just allow him to walk away after he done his mission?
Jason: I'm not even sure if I can let him to do that. But he's a great sniper though. He used to work for the government and he's very good of what he does. I just hope that he's on our side.
Human Rebel 2: What if he turns against us? Then what?
Jason: We'll just kill him.
SHIELD Helicarrier.....
Shaw: I read your report. You have done well, Sheila.
Sheila: Thanks, sir.
Mystique: I can't believe you recruited her to join our mission.
Shaw: Is there a problem with that?
Mystique: No, it's just....
Sheila: Lighten' up, blue lady.
Mystique: What did you just say?
Shaw: Ladies please. This is not a wrestling ring. We need to gather vital information on Ryan.
Mystique: Oh yeah. Him.
Sheila: I see that there is something between you and Ryan. I'm not even sure what it is. But it must be an affection. I guess.
Mystique: Just shut up.
Shaw: That's enough. Raven, you may go now. You will need some rest.
Mystique: Ok sir. I get it.
KREAK! CLICK!
Sheila: She really needs to watch out for her attitude.
Shaw: Yes. I'm aware of that. Now, I want you to do something for me.
Sheila: Anything, handsome. What would that be?
Shaw: Hmmmm. We better tell this in secret. The walls may have ears.
Sheila: How about we discuss this secret in our bed? Besides, you're not even afraid of me.
Shaw: I would like that. By the way, how's Dr. Frank? Is he still working on that Anti-Legacy Virus?
Sheila: Yes. He sure does work a lot. But I can tell you that he's also not afraid of me. I was surprised about him.
Shaw: I hope he accomplishes his work so that we can defeat these pesky humans once and for all.
Bar.....
Logan: BURP! Oh sorry kid. My thing's a habit nowadays.
Ryan: Do you always drink like this? I mean no offense but....
Logan: What do you think I am? Even a human can drink as much as he wants.
Ryan: Yeah, my dad never allowed me to drink when I was eighteen.
Logan: You need to live it up, kid.
GULP! GULP!
Ryan: Logan, I need to ask you something. Is there something between you and Mystique. By any chance?
Logan: Well, what do ya know. A kid like you sure ask a lot of questions.
GULP! GULP! GULP!
Logan: Ahhh! Nothing but a 10-year old beer. Want some?
Ryan: Sorry, I...don't drink.
Logan: You know, Ryan. I have been a lot with the ladies in my days. They always die, you know. Just like that.
Ryan: I...see.
Logan: Man, if I wasn't a mutant or being brainwashed by the Weapon X program. I sure would have been a nice guy.
Ryan: Uh...yeah. Sure.
Logan: Listen kid. If you want to know something about what happened between me and Mystique. You better watch your mouth.
Ryan: Huh? What are you talking about?
GULP!
Logan: You're not what you seem to be. I can smell ya.
Ryan (thought): Crap! Did he just found out who I am? I should have known his animal senses.
Logan: Hey kid. Don't worry about it. I...BURP!
Ryan: Logan, I think you need to stop drinking.
Logan: Hey bub, I don't listen to a kid like you who's not even around from here.
Ryan (whisper): Logan, slow your voice down. Everyone can hear you.
Mystique: Is there a problem?
Ryan: Oh Mystique.
Logan: Well what do ya know. The blue beauty just dragged in. Wanna have a drink?
Mystique: Sorry Logan. Another time. C'mon, Ryan. Let's go.
Ryan: To where?
Mystique: To my quarters. I want to tell you something.
Ryan: Ok? Sure, I'll come.
Logan: Bye Ryan! Mystique!
GULP!
Ryan: Man, will he be ok?
Mystique: I'm sure he will. Besides, he's a drunk old veteran after all.
Magneto's Palace.....
Magneto: Wanda! Pietro! I'm home.
Pietro: How was the conference meeting?
Magneto: It was fine. I had a good talk with the world leaders. They are willing to negotiate peace talks between humans and mutants.
Pietro: I see. You sounded like Xavier. I never thought you wanted peace.
Magneto: You could say that. I only wanted what's best for our world. As a result, we can at least live our own peaceful life.
Pietro: Are you sure the entire human race is going to accept it?
Magneto: Son, I only wanted this for ourselves.
Pietro: Father, I had enough of your ideals. It's time for son and father talk.
Magneto: We're talking, son.
Pietro: No father. I'm looking for a fight.
Magneto: Pietro, don't do this to me.
Pietro: I will and you can't stop me.
WHOOOOOOSH!
Magneto: Pietro! Listen to me. I'm your father and you will do what I say.
Pietro: Try me.
WHOOOOOSH!
BASH!
Magneto: Ahh!
Pietro: It's over, father.
Magneto: Son, you will regret this.
Pietro: I think it's you should regret what you have done, father. You have to release Wanda.
Magneto: Not a chance, son. Please don't do this.
Pietro: I have no other choice.
WHOOOOOOOSH!
BASH! CRACK!
Magneto: Ugh!
WHOOOOOOOOSH!
Pietro: What's the matter, father? Can't catch your own son?
Magneto: That's....enough.
WRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN!
CRACK! RUMBLE! SMASH!
Pietro: You have to try better than that.
WHOOOOOOOOSH!
Magneto: You're pretty good at this, son. That's why I'm proud of you.
WRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNN!
CRACK! RUMBLE!
SMASH!
Pietro: Ahhh!
Magneto: Don't do this to me, Pietro. You know what I'm capable of.
Pietro: Yeah, I know.
WHOOOOOOSH!
WRRRRRRRNNNNNN!
CRASH! CRASH! SMASH!
Pietro: You missed me again, father.
WHOOOOOOOOSH!
THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD! THUD!
Magneto: You fool. You should know that I generated a magnetic field around me.
WRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNN!
RUMBLE! CRACK!
Pietro: Ah!
THUD!
Magneto: Have you had enough?
Pietro: No. I....won't give up.
Magneto: I'm sure you will. You know that you can't beat me.
WRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN!
CRASH! SMASH!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
RUMBLE!
Pietro: Ahh!
THUD!
Magneto: Pietro, you must stop this now. Don't force me to fight you.
Pietro: I won't be defeated that easily, father.
Magneto: Why are you covering your ears?
Pietro: You won't even like the sound of it.
Magneto: What?
Black Bolt: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
CRASH! RUMBLE! SMASH!
Magneto: Ahhh! My...ears. I....can't move. Ahh!
Black Bolt: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
RUMBLE! CRASH!
Magneto: Make....it....stop. Ahhh!
Pietro: BLACK BOLT! THAT'S ENOUGH!
Black Bolt: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
CRACK! SMASH!
Magneto: You! You had backup?
Pietro: Yes, father. You just forgot that I was a member of the Inhumans. You should have known me better.
Magneto: You can't do this to me. You just can't!
Pietro: I'm sorry, father. Release Wanda. Now!
Magneto: You fool. If I refuse, Black Bolt will tear up this palace apart.
Pietro: I know, father. I'll do whatever it takes to save Wanda. You have to release her.
Magneto: I won't! Do you hear me, son?
Pietro: RELEASE HER! FATHER! DO IT NOW!
Magneto: OK! You have won. But I'll never forget that you couldn't beat me. I'm not impressed since you told Black Bolt to help you.
Pietro: Like I said, father. Whatever it takes.
SHIELD Helicarrier......Mystique's quarters
WHOOOOOOOOOSH! FLASH!
Adam: Pssssst. Ryan. Hey Ryan!
Ryan: Huh? Who's....there?
Adam: Wake up, buddy.
Ryan: You idiot! Where were you?
Adam: Oh I was stranded on a world where we were comic book characters.
Ryan: What?
Adam: Yeah, I just met this guy called Stan Lee. Oh boy, I never knew that he created the X-Men in the first place. He's famous and old.
Ryan: Look Adam. Enough of your crap. You made me trapped inside my double's body.
Adam: What? I did?
Ryan: Yeah. Last time I remember that I slid through your portal and ended up like this.
Adam: Oh I see. That happens sometimes.
Ryan: What?
Adam: Yeah, something must have happened during my portal. There were some quantum fluctuations. It's....complicated.
Ryan: Oh geez. Then what happened to you?
Adam: There was another portal while you slid through this world. So I accidentally slid through that one.
Ryan: Yeah. A world where mutants rule. Is this what you want to show me?
Adam: Not....exactly.
Ryan: Then what is it? What do you want from me?
Adam: Ryan, you will understand. I'm sure of it. You have to see it for yourself. By the way, what were you doing in Mystique's quarters?
Ryan: It's....none of your business. How did you know?
Adam: I just saw her picture. She's hot for you. Nice. I can see you're....Ahem.
Ryan: Look, I need to get out of this body. You also need to get me back to my world.
Adam: It's not that simple, Ryan.
Ryan: But there has to be a way.
Adam: Hmmmm. I know. There is a mutant who can help you.
Ryan: Who?
Adam: Split.
Ryan: Split?
Adam: Yeah. He has the ability to split a person from another person's body. Like a personality trait. You know.
Ryan: Ok?
Adam: Yeah, he used to split the Hulk from Dr. Banner's body. It didn't....turned out well. So he had to put him back. Since the Hulk and Banner were compatible to each other.
Ryan: I see. Can it work on me?
Adam: It's hard to tell. Besides, we need to look for Split.
Ryan: You got to be kidding me.
Adam: I'm serious, Ryan. We have to find him. Or else you will be stuck in this body forever.

Freaks Episode 26: Unleashed
Great chapter!
But I thought Logan couldn't get drunk? The Healing Factor burns the alcohol too fast?
It's possible for Logan to get drunk even though he has healing factor. If an average human drinks more alcohol, it will lead to alcohol poisoning and brain damage. In Logan's case, it's different. His healing factor prevents the alcohol from damaging his health. The more Logan drinks, the more he gets drunk like an average human. There was this Wolverine issue number 900 where he celebrates his birthday with Spider-Man at the bar. He was drunk and later got into a fight.
Ah, I see! thanks for clearing that up.
Bump.
