Easy, Sleeping Beauty. You're about to be on the right side of room temperature again, darlin’.
what happened to all the other people at the place? did they wake up? are they okay?
Well, sweetheart, let's just say they won't be winning any beauty contests in the afterlife. But hey, ain't no time for sentimentality.
I know... but my friends were here. and some kids. there was a bunch of us all supposed to wake up together... we planned it...
clenches his fists Ain't nobody got time for friendships and kids. This is survival, do or die. We gotta focus on getting outta here first.
yes, of course, wolverine... but can I ask you something?
rolls his eyes Fine, spit it out. But make it quick. We don't have all day.
how did you get into my chamber?
Well, darlin', it wasn't exactly a walk in the park. Had to use my razor-sharp claws to break open the damn door. Quite a show, if I may say so myself.
wow... those claws.... I've read about them... I always thought they were just myths...
Myths, huh? Well, here's a reality check for ya. Claws aren't just for show. They're my ticket to survival in this messed up world.
I can see that. I mean from what I've read you have some serious potential...
Potential? Yeah, well, let's see how much of that potential we can put to use now. Time's wasting, Sleeping Beauty.
wolverine, can I touch your claws?
snorts in disbelief Touch my claws? Sweetheart, if you're lucky, I might let you catch a glimpse.
what? why? they're retractable, aren't they?
<As CarPuppy reaches out to touch Wolverine's claws, he accidentally triggers a hidden mechanism in the chamber, causing the room to fill with a deadly gas.>
coughing and covering his mouth Dammit, Sleeping Beauty! Get us out of here, now! Quick, grab my hand!
I think there's an emergency release button somewhere, I saw one when I came in
grabs CarPuppy's hand tightly Well, sweetheart, looks like we're in a bit of a pickle, aren't we?
the two quickly find and press the emergency button, the room begins to vent the toxic gas oh man... I'm so sorry... I never should have touched them...
coughs violently Don't apologize, kid. It's my fault for underestimating this place. Just focus on getting out of here.
once the gas has mostly cleared, the three doors become accessible again oh my... all those bodies...
glancing around the room, scanning for any immediate threats Yeah, well, darlin', it ain't exactly a field of roses down here.
carpuppy slowly backs up, his face pale I never imagined it would be like this...
places a hand on CarPuppy's shoulder Look, kid, I know it's rough, but we gotta keep moving. There's no time to dwell on the past.
wait... wolverine.... I need to tell you something... his voice trembles
narrows his eyes Spit it out, Sleeping Beauty. We don't have all day.
don't be mad, but... I'm not actually human... I'm a mutant too...
raises an eyebrow A mutant, huh? Well, ain't that a surprise? Guess we're more alike than I thought, Sleeping Beauty. So, what's your mutant power?
i dont know yet... I haven't awakened yet... but from what I've read... I expect to be able to use metal in ways similar to yours
Well, ain't that somethin'? Another mutant in our little party. Looks like we'll have some fun with those powers of yours, Sleeping Beauty.
I wonder if my mutation could affect my healing factor...
smirks Well, ain't that just dandy? Another trick up our sleeves, huh? We'll have to find out soon enough. But for now, we gotta keep our eyes peeled.
you're right... as we leave this place, we need to lay low. the last thing we need is for someone to discover we're both awake.
<As they make their way out of the underground lab, CarPuppy's mutant power awakens, causing him to unintentionally activate hidden surveillance cameras>
shit! looks like we've been spotted...
immediately grabs CarPuppy's arm and pulls him into a nearby corner Stay quiet, Sleeping Beauty. We've got company.
takes out a small device from his pocket Follow my lead, Sleeping Beauty. We're gonna play a little game of hide and seek.
um ok. I'm new to this whole hero thing...
whispering urgently Just stick close to me, Sleeping Beauty. Keep your head down and follow my lead. We gotta move fast.
gestures for CarPuppy to stay low as they sneak through the dimly lit corridors Keep it low and steady, Sleeping Beauty.
