Meeting of the McCoys
More and more Friedrich had grown disenfranchised with his family's methods of pushing the mutant agenda.  While Friedrich was hardly squeamish, in fact violence had little affect on him, but said action should serve a higher reason for the pursuit of mutant survival. While he wasn't sure he could say he loved his brother, Nicholas, he had a deep respect for him. The fact of the matter was, his habit of killing human sympathizers along with "wannabe-human" mutants seemed more petty than for any higher purpose. While Friedrich shared his brother's contempt for said individuals, in the end his continued crusade was not feasible.

His father was even more dissappointing. While Nicholas on some level may feel he's helping the mutant cause, Friedrich did not get the same impression from his father, no matter what he personally claimed. After long observation Friedrich came to the conclusion that his father was, in the end, a sadistic lunatic. He respected the man's brilliance, but his pattern of behavior increasingly confirmed the truth to Friedrich. The Dark Beast didn't care a wit about his people. To him "the cause" was simply a pretext to perform all manner of grotesque experiments to push the mutant genome. Not to help his people, but for his own curiosity and sick enjoyment. Friedrich's own modified mutations were proof of that. Granted Friedrich had intiated his own "inhuman" experiments, but at least they served a higher purpose.

Then one day, Friedrich believed enough was enough. He would never be able to properly aid his people within the confines of his home or with the limited doctrine of Gene Nation. No, he needed a new perspective. While leaving the only home he knew was difficult, it had to be done. So one day, with a disguise he'd been preparing to cover his animal-like legs and claws, Friedrich set out to find someone who could properly see to it his efforts were truly working for mutant benefit. Though in truth, he had little idea of where to go, hence his search. He had a few options, but wasn't sure which would be the most feasible.

Unable to make a solid decision without more information, Friedrich decided a visit to the library would be prudent. Perhaps there would be articles and studies he could utilize. He walked a little awkwardly, he wasn't used to walking like the average human, into the building. He made doubly sure nothing was visible before entering.

Well that pretty much confirmed it. Part of him was screaming at him to run from the place and damn the consequences of doing so. However, another part of him found himself staying, calmed by her genuinely kind words. He never heard such a tone before.

"It's..not that, necessarily," he stated reluctantly. "It's..who I am,..and who you are."

He sighs. There was no logic in doing what he did next. He didn't know why he admitted it. Maybe it was because he wanted a friend, a family member whe didn't have to fear and be paranoid about.

"It's because..my name is Friedrich..McCoy I guess you could say I'm your cousin."

"...Oh." Sylvie keeps all of her hands calmly where they can be seen. "Well, whatever you may have heard, Fred, I'm not in the habit of picking a fight with somebody just because there were some problems with their side of the family."

Her calm response helped ease him out of his increasingly panicked state.

"Your openness to discussion is refreshing," his eloquent speech returning as he felt more comfortable. "To be honest I don't believe my father or brother ever referenced you. At most I remember my uncle being referred as a 'doormat' or 'waste' or even less flattering terminology. I reserve judgement."

Sylvie'd wrangled signing out one of the keys from the archivist. She wheeled ahead of him into the little room and locked the doors behind them.

"Does your side of the family know you're here?"

"No, in truth, I doubt they know where I am at all." He took a seat. "I guess you can say I ran away. My father's agenda, if he even has one, nor my brother's are no longer feasible to me."

"An excellent inquiry. In truth I've been looking for a place where my research can be properly utilized. And frankly that was no longer with my family. So I did the logical thing, I left." He says this matter-of-factly.

"I have to admit, Fred; I've got a better solution than going all the way to China." She smiles, then her face grows more serious. "Come home with me. My parents'd be happy to hear about your research."

Fred sat there a moment, taking in what he heard.

"You're assuming a great deal, Sylvie. You have no idea what I'm working on. And just because I've left my father's company does not mean I'm willing to suddenly accept yours'." He states calmly. "I did consider my uncle for a time, though I feel he may be more of a hindrance than a help."

"Sorry if the offer hurts your feelings, but it stands," Sylvie says firmly.

"No feelings were hurt, Sylvie. I'm not a man to be so casual with my feelings that something like that would upset me. I believe my work can truly benefit our people. I simply don't believe your father's methods and mine would be compatible. And what if we clashed? I'd suddenly find myself mauled by numerous X-Men, and my work would be gone entirely."

"You're taking an awful risk with this offer," he stated. "Inviting the admitted spawn of the Dark Beast into your home. You have no way to confirm if what I'm saying is a lie or not. Maybe I have a carrier virus in my body that I will release upon stepping foot in the domicile of the X-Men."

"Yes, because admitting who you are instead of posing as just another mutant kid in need of help along our classic modus operandi would surely be the best strategy for a trap."

She looks intently at him. "We've got some of the best doctors in the world and a magical healer to boot. Whatever scheme your father could conceivably have, Fred? We could beat it. I'm certain we could. So weighing that against the possibility of your going hungry or being driven back to your side of the family, how can I not do this?"

He wasn't certain if he was insulted by her belief in her team's ability to counter any potential scheme he may have or touched by her willingness to help him. He settled for remaining relatively neutral.

"Well, since we're being honest, I will do you another courtesy because logically it's likely to come up. I'm not actually the Dark Beast's son. I'm a clone he allowed to grow naturally," he grins a little, fangs visible, "well, somewhat naturally."

"Oh," Sylvie said calmly. "Do you think that's going to cause any medical problems?" She asks, conveying very firmly the fact that the risk of clone degeneration disorders is the only thing that makes this information relevant.

Again he's surprised by Sylvie's attitude. He wasn't certain if she was secretly dangerous or simply naive. Such behavior was odd to him.

"While my father used research from the late, unlamented Miles Warren to create me, he corrected that error some time ago. Personally I think his various alterations to my genetics somehow cancelled the degeneration factor." He says this as one would describe getting a physical.

"Good to hear," she says politely. "Me, manifestation just meant becoming more durable -- in the 'only bruising a little when someone else might break bones' sense -- and being unable to get dizzy."

Friedrich's eyes turned a little cold. While he didn't agree with his father and brother's goals, he was not completely uninfluenced by Gene Nation and its dogma. To him Sylvie looked like one of the human wannabes that move around relatively freely with just a simple disguise. Friedrich's own disguise looked simple, but was actually fairly extensive as his features were not so easily hidden. He knew they were mutants out there that had no hope what's so ever of ever walking in broad daylight. Mutations that isolated them from everyone, even their fellow mutants. Still, this was not the time to lose his temper.

"How fortunate," he was certain he managed to keep any sarcasm out of his voice."Let's say I agree to go with you, what then?"
