Unveiling the Truth(X-men)

[Horus Herrmann]

Time:6:00 am
Location:Medical bay waiting room

He had been there all night, since earlier of yesterday evening when he had arrived. Horus couldn't take it anymore as the words of the guard he faced when meeting up with Jenna and, at the time, his unborn son kept echoing in his thoughts. The whole week it just bothered him, nagging at the back of his thoughts until it just consumed most it besides helping in his duties and taking care of Orion. Finally it had become enough to come down to the medical bay to push for a DNA test.

Though the medical staff had pried for an explanation Horus refused to tell them what was going on until he got his confirmation. That had been several hours ago however to which Horus spent the time pacing the waiting room, occasionally pausing when hearing a door open then continued when it was someone else or a doctor who didn't know. Finally after a few hours of that he had plopped down in a chair to wait before eventually he had dosed off into a deep sleep, one he certainly needed with how much he had been pushing himself all week since the incident.

Though it never occurred to the draconic mutant that any of his new teammates or Jenna would wind up coming to search for him. He had skipped dinner and hadn't shown up for hours and it was already turning to the early hours of dawn. Eventually someone would have to find him or the doctors would come in and give him the results.

--------------------------------------------

An hour passed more before Horus was shaken awake, the draconic mutant bolting up slightly and looking around before he relaxed. "What is it?"He asked tiredly, rubbing his eyes a bit, not yet fully awake as a doctor stood in front of him. "Well Horus it took some time to confirm but we got the results back and well...they came back positive. You are indeed related to Magneto, in fact you are his son."The doctor said, looking a little surprised as Horus even seemed shocked as well. So the guard had been right all along and maybe that was why Sinister her used the DNA sample for, to create another powerful mutant. Or try to at least.

"Wait then that means...Pietro is my brother!"He exclaimed with shock and the doctor nodded,"As is his twin sister. So your not quite alone as you think Mr.Herrmann and it may be best to inform them soon."With that the doctor left Horus to think about this on his own as the draconic mutant was leaving the waiting room.

But never had he been so thrilled! He did have family after all, all of who he trusted besides Jenna and their son. But now he would have to somehow tell Magneto, Pietro, and Wanda of the truth of their connection and how it had come to be. Though for now he just let his excitement fill his once worried mood, heading to the elevator to return upstairs.

[Pietro Maximoff]

His arm coarsed with pain even when he was asleep, Pietro had spent the days so far in the medical room as he tried to see if there was any progress on the recovery of his injured arm. The medical use that the twins had asked for had worked earlier, it had certainly helped with relieving his pain. However he was never an early riser at this point, but his arm was just still in too much pain to fall back asleep. He had already taken the medication for pain killers in order to try and stop the pain that way, but it seemed he had to wait a while before they would really kick in. Sighing he got up from his medical bed that he had been resting on for sometime in order to walk around. Though he came to one of the refrigerators on the side of the room where they kept some amounts of food. He found nothing interesting but on the side was a basket full of other things. Apples, oranges, peaches and grapes all on display ready to be eaten at someone's desire.

So Quicksilver ended up taking one of the peaches and wrapped it up in a cloth, knowing how messy they were before he head out to go for a quick walk. Of course knowing him, he could have walked around the mansion several times in a matter of minutes. But today he wanted to take it slowly since he knew his arm might not be able to handle it.

As he began to head out of the medical room he stopped letting some of the students go by and began to move again once they had passed. He took some turns to explore and look around the rooms that he had yet to seen, which was only a few at this point. However as he went he noticed that the elevator was starting to move as someone had just arrived to join the many that were already down in this area. If his father hadn't been so protective, Quicksilver would have jumped onto the elevator by now already and would head outside. Yet the precautions of his injured arm may perhaps slow him down if he attempted that. So instead he merely leaned against the wall wondering who was coming up at this point, or if it was someone that could help him take away a bit of the morning.

[Horus Herrmann]

Horus leaned against the railing in the elevator, waiting as it rose towards the next level of the underground parts of the mansion before it finally stopped. Though the whole time he was on the elevator his thoughts were trying to work out of how he would tell his newly discovered family, wondering how they would react. Would they even know already? He doubted it. Of course stranger things had happened before and the draconic mutant wouldn't be surprised if they had at least suspected something. But he would have to wait to see what the future brought since he wasn't even sure where they were.

Though no sooner had he thought of this that the elevator paused on one level and Horus was surprised to see Pietro, a red outline showing around his brother to indicate his pain. "Hey Pietro."Horus greeted as he stepped off the elevator, still feeling the excitement of his find from before. Yet he felt uncertainty as well, of how they would react and he had his chance to tell Pietro now of why he was down there. But at first he just couldn't.

"So how's the arm?"He asked, looking at the speedster's injured arm, recalling he had hurt it at some point. But he wondered who could have done this to Pietro so easily that he ended up in the medical bay for a long period of time for recovery. Far as he knew he had encountered a demonic mutant, similar to Merrick and Amethyst but he hadn't heard about all the details of the encounter.
