A little more... almost there... some adjustments and...
"We're done" He said sighing taking his hands off the head of the unconscious Logan, who was tied to a chair with chains.
My mother, who was behind me holding my head, took her hands off my head and started doing a small inspection to make sure I was okay.
You can say whatever you want, but Emma Frost is a good mother and cares a lot about her children. And she would be an even better mother if a genocidal mutant supremacist wasn't coming out.
Well, there are no perfect parents, right?
"Yes mom, I'm fine" I replied, rolling my eyes. I don't like it when I'm only treated like a child, even if technically I'm one.
But let me tell you, that was fucking tiring. I never thought that to mess with someone's head it took so much energy and concentration.
Athen if Wolverine's Adamantium skeleton also gets in the way a lot, I had to ask Emma for help to strengthen my psychic abilities and help me finish this process.
For a psychic to strengthen another psychic it is only necessary that he transfers mental energy to the psychic in question, the greater the amount of mental energy, the greater the strengthening of skills.
And the energy I needed to complete this task was no joke. Even Emma is now exhausted, and she just passed mental energy to me and helped me with the minor parts of the process. I'm sure not even she could do what I did without help.
There was a moment that I thought about asking Magneto to pull the metal out of Wolverine's body and make it easier, but then I remembered that the master of Magnetism has not yet reached this level and that this could kill Wolverine.
But well, I managed to complete the scene. Now we have to test the results.
"Okay mom, you can go now" I said getting up and looking at Logan.
Emma gave me a worried look and then at Wolverine, she clearly wasn't sure about leaving me with that beast man.
And I would be too, if I had my powers and knew that I can knock you down as easily as I have to change clothes.
I know, I'm fantastic.
"Ethan, are you really sure you can handle it alone? "She asked with obvious concern.
"Don't worry mom, I have everything under control" I replied making my best smile to calm her down.
She herself knows my skills and what I'm capable of, but it seems that mother concern is something that overcomes all this.
With one last worried look, Emma left the room where we were, leaving only me and Logan alone.
I made a diamond dagger and cut the chains that held Logan while waiting for him to wake up.
Was I being reckless and underestimating Logan too much? No, you've seen me knocking him down once, and doing it again wouldn't be difficult. And he would most likely break the chains with his claws as soon as he woke up.
And with all his military experience, I don't doubt much that he can let go of chains without difficulty. I don't even know how many wars he's fought, but I believe that in some he must have already been captured and must have escaped too.
And the regeneration ability also made him basically immortal, in addition to being a high-level hand-to-hand combatant. Not at the level of the iron fist or the wrecker, but he guarantees himself in the fists.
I could spend the whole day saying why I want to recruit him to our side and why having him as an ally would be beneficial for the brotherhood, but it would take a long time and I don't want to keep listing things about a character over 200 years old.
And also, he wouldn't be the only prominent mutant I would bring to my side. Scott Summers, Jean Grey, Ororo Munroe (storm), Nighcrawler and others, I plan to bring these and many more to my side.
And I say my side and not to the brotherhood side because I don't plan to stay in the brotherhood forever. Of course, it's fun to do missions with them and I always learn something new about mutants and powers here, but I don't want to spend my whole life being someone's subordinate.
I want to do something just mine, my own faction. Stronger than the brotherhood, than the X-men and the hellfire club together. Something that would make even the bravest of men tremble just hearing the name of my group.
And with so many powerful mutants that will begin to emerge, gathering some will not be difficult at all.
But look, I spent so much time rambling that Logan has already woken up. I must have spent a good few minutes just thinking.
The first thing he did was analyze the environment while his vision adjusted and his senses returned to the place, then he examined his body and saw that it was not tied.
But when he looked at me, well, it was a different story. His expression was distorted into a frown of anger and his claws came out of his fists when he jumped out of the chair and shot in my direction like an angry dog.
He raised his arms and prepared to cut me, but when he was a few centimeters away from hitting me, his body crashed.
Like, literally. He stopped in the place like a statue, his body trembling and veins jumping from his face while he tried to complete his attack, only to fail miserably.
It seems that the process worked, but I still need to test some things.
"Sit down" I said as if I was ordering him.
At the moment, he sat on the floor like a dog while anger and surprise memorized his expression, as if he didn't understand what was happening.
Yeah, it really worked.
" You damn brat! What did you do to me!? " Logan asked, almost turning red with anger.
I tried to contain the laughter that formed inside me when I saw the legendary Wolverine in that situation, but I couldn't and ended up letting out a very loud laugh that only ended up irritating Logan even more.
After a few seconds of just laughing, I stopped laughing while cleaning small ones in the corner of my eyes that formed after my long laugh.
"Have you ever heard of a mental impression? "I asked keeping a smile.
"Mental impression? " Logan looked at me clearly confused. He must have never dealt with telepaths before.
" A mental impression is a command, order, reminder or message recorded in your brain " I explained as best I could " I am a telepath/psychic and I can mess with people's heads. What I did was put a mental impression on you in the form of 2 very specific commands "
It was true. I needed help for this, but he managed to put 2 commands in Wolverine that would prevent him from becoming a problem for me or for the brotherhood.
The first command said that he could not attack or try to hurt any member of the brotherhood, whether the current ones or those who will enter the future.
The only exception is if the member is a traitor or leaves the brotherhood, otherwise he cannot hurt any member.
Logan is a guy who in difficult situations, prefers to leave for the enemy without fear and does not think about the consequences. This quality in particular makes an incredible fighter and a fearsome enemy.
In the same way that you can't stop the juggernaut when he starts running, you can't stop the Wolverine when he starts attacking. Its healing factor and its ferocity make this almost impossible.
So, the best thing is to create a contingency right away to stop him before he has the chance to do anything.
says that Logan has to obey any order given by me and only by me.
This is something more beneficial for me than for the brotherhood. Although I know that no one will care much about me having put this.
I can't make Logan a reliable ally, not in this situation. So, the best thing is just to make him a slave who does everything I tell him, regardless of what it is.
Is it inhumane to turn someone into a puppet without emotions? Yes, but I don't care. Remember that I tried to make things easy, so his fault in this situation is completely and solely his.
"I could even explain how the commands I put on you work, but it would be a waste of saliva" I said shrugging my shoulders "For now, sleep"
With this single sentence, Logan fell unconscious at the same moment and fell asleep on the cold floor of that room.
Yeah, it's really any command that works.
Wolverine has already been successfully acquired, now who is next among so many interesting candidates? I think I can think about it later.
After all, I still have to fuck the American government.
