The surgeon stared down at the patient at a loss as to where to begin. As he watched, some of the rebar that was wrapped in and around and through the patient seemed to be trying to push itself out of the man's body. The mutant's body.

As he watched this spectacle in stunned amazement, the mutant's eyes snapped open and the poor bastard appeared to be completely lucid despite the undoubtedly unbearable pain he should be in.

"Where am I?" the mutant rasped out.

"You're in the hospital. We're going to operate on you in order to remove the rebar." The doctor replied, hoping his mental Or try to anyway didn't seep into his tone.

"Good." the mutant said before slipping into unconsciousness.

In the final moments before all consciousness fled the mutant completely, it muttered something that sounded like but couldn't possibly have been "Note to self: Kill Victor for putting LSD in my coffee again."
