Issue #7

Jack woke up the next morning around 6 am. When Jack took off his blanket, he felt cold and realized he was only wearing underwear. After thinking it over, Jack remembered that Emma brought him to this room last night and left him in his underwear since they were covered in blood.

After looking around the room, he saw that there was a white jogging suit sitting on the chair. Jack walked over and lifted it up to get a better view. But when he felt it within his hands, he was surprised.

"This is the softest thing I have ever touched and I have touched a bunny before. Rich people live entirely different lives. Guess I better get used to this," Jack said to himself before doing the suit

The entire thing was the cleanest shade of white that Jack had ever worn before. He walked over to the floor-length mirror and observed how the suit looked on his body.

"Hmm. Yep. White is so not my color. I should ask her for a blue wardrobe since she is willing to spend so much for me and most likely has a better fashion sense than I do."

Once he was dressed, Jack started making his way through the house. He wanted to find Emma and ask where his phone was but he couldn't find her for the longest. After opening 10 doors, he finally found Emma's room. Jack knocked on the door several times.

"Ugh. Let this be a warning: I need my beauty sleep. So if you ever wake me up this early again, I will make you think you are a cow for a week. What do you want?"

Jack took that as his sign to enter. Once Jack entered, he was given a shock. Sitting up on the bed was a naked Emma Frost. It was the most beautiful sight he had ever seen before. Jack's face immediately flushed red and he closed the door and stood on the opposite side.

"Why would you tell me to enter if you weren't clothed?" Jack shouted from the other side

Emma did not reply. Jack heard movement in the room before the door opened. Emma was wearing a thin, silk robe that somehow looked more erotic than she did when she was naked.

"Three things, Jack. Number one, I didn't tell you to enter. I asked what you wanted. Two, I always sleep naked. And three, no need to be embarrassed around me. I will be training you on such matters as part of our intensive training program," Emma explained patiently

Jack was shocked by her explanation and did not know how to counter what she said. Instead, he skipped over the topic completely as he asked what he originally wanted to know.

"Nevermind that. I just wanted to know where my phone was and if you could get me a wardrobe of fancy clothes like this. Preferably in blue."

Emma laughed at his poor attempt to change the subject but she agreed to his request and told him his phone was still in the basement. Once he got the information, Jack immediately left Emma alone to head down to grab his phone.

When he got to the basement, Jack saw his phone laying next to one of the lynx corpses. Jack ignored all the corpses around him and grabbed the phone.

The wolf's predator instincts had changed several things about his mind. Not only did it make him look at fighting situations differently but he also looked at the corpses in front of him differently. They were no longer animals that he had reluctantly killed but were his prey that he had hunted.

Jack was about to leave the basement when he looked at the walls of the room and an idea went through his mind. Even when he sent the wolf slamming into the wall the previous day, there was no damage to the wall.

Jack walked up to the wall before activating [Herculean Strength] and punching into the wall. But instead of the scene that Jack was expecting with his body breaking the wall, he instead felt his entire arm shatter and explode similar to the wolf the day before.

"Agh!" Jack screamed out in pain and fell to the ground in a moment. The pain had completely crippled him. His own attack had crippled. What Jack had not expected was for his body to limit what his abilities could do.

Emma heard the 'Bang!' sound of Jack's fist colliding with the wall and rushed down the stairs. She arrived to see Jack flailing in a puddle of blood with one of his arms missing. Emma rushed over to Jack's body as she stripped off her robe.

"Don't worry, Jack. I'm here. Just calm down for me!"

Emma used her robe to make a tourniquet to slow down the bleeding and ensure that Jack did not bleed out. She also used her telepathy to mentally sedate Jack in order to make sure he did not cause any more damage than necessary. No longer worrying about him, Emma picked up Jack's phone and called Lilith.

"It's me. Get me a medical helicopter to my place! I need it now! If it is not here in 5 minutes, you will know what true suffering is," Emma told Lilith over the phone before hanging up and turning her attention back to the unconscious Jack

"Don't worry, Jack. We have a helicopter on its way to bring you to the hospital. I also slowed down he bleeding so you don't have to worry about dying. Hell, we don't even have to worry about you not having your arm any more thanks to that salamander we got you yesterday. That was such a good idea of yours."

Emma kept speaking to the unconscious Jack. Although he couldn't hear her words, Jack could feel the warm and calming presence next to him as he slept.

Within minutes, a helicopter had arrived. Emma boarded after Jack and accompanied him to the nearest hospital where he was given the very best attention that they could.
