Akido didn't reply for there was nothing she could say that wouldn't be too close to a lie or that wasn't stating the painfully obvious. Turning her attention to Marcus with a thoughtful look, if it was a physical wound she could heal it, or more than likely she would let Logan deal with it. It upset her to see him hurt but she still wished to show no more of her powers than she had too. Leaning forward suddenly, "Then don't explain. If your jaw hurts you should move it as little as possible." Looking at his eyes, "Say 'aah' let me see. I was a nurse for a bit before I came here."

"Alright," Logan agreed as he pushed the door open. He stepped into the room for a moment, the light flickering on before the door swung shut behind him. He searched on the shelves as his mind wandered.
'This day has definitely taken an interesting turn. I can't say it's not refreshing to have someone as interested as Akido is. But there's something different about her. I've noticed a slight accent in her voice that seems to slip in and out every now and then...And her manor is quite intriguing. But I'm not going to say anything. If she wants to talk about it, she will. I won't pry,' he thought to himself as he searched.
He finally found a screwdriver amongst some other things and pulled it down off of the shelf. He looked at it for a moment and quickly realized how dirty it was. He turned it over in his hand for a moment before walking over to another shelf. He grabbed hold of a bottle of hydrogen peroxide and walked back over to the door. He swung it open and walked back out to the others.
"I found one but it's rather dirty. I got some H2O2 as well to clean it off with if you want..."

Marcus pulled his face away from Akido, "I can fix it myself, don't worry" Accepting help wasn't something Marcus could do comfortably. Even when he asked for directions, it bothered him.
Marcus took the screwdriver from Logan, ignoring the H2O2. He turned his back away from the others and reached the tool deep into his mouth. He gripped the handle tightly and attempted to turn it, his hand shaking a bit. With a small groan of pain, his hand suddenly jerked and he removed the screwdriver from his mouth and into his left hand. With his right, he reached back into his mouth and threaded the screw out by hand. Once the screw was entirely out, he held it in his two fingers and examined it, a small bit of blood dripping from his mouth. "God...hope I don't have to do that again anytime soon..." he said with a sigh as he turned back towards the others and sat at the nearest desk.

Logan set the bottle of hydrogen peroxide down on his desk and crossed his arms nonchalantly after Marcus took the screwdriver from him.
As he saw, or gathered rather, what Marcus was doing with the screwdriver, his face almost seemed to grow a bit paler. Though when he truly grew pale, which wasn't very often, his skin almost seemed to turn gray because of his odd complexion. No, this time the blood just seemed to leave his cheeks slightly.
"You know..." he began slowly, "I wasn't kidding when I said that thing was dirty....You could get poisoned off that thing. Or you could get tetanus. Or a list of other things..."

Marcus was running his tongue along the spot the screw was removed as Logan talked then he looked down at the screwdriver he was talking about "Hmm, well, I like to keep my immune system on its toes, so it's fine."
Marcus placed the screw down on the table and, using the screwdriver as a chisel, began to take the pointed tip off the screw.
The cause for Marcus's irritation was that the screws pointed tip was stabbing something in his mouth. Now that the tip was gone, the pain should subside.
Satisfied with the dulled tip of the screw he once again reached back in his mouth and threaded the screw by hand. Then he placed the screwdriver back in his mouth and began to tighten the screw back in. With every twist he winced being that the screw was passing through a plate then into bone. Once he gave it a final twist to make sure it was tight, he placed the screw driver on the table and began moving his jaw through its full range of motion. Certain that the problem was fixed he looked to both Logan and Akido and said "Good as new". With that said, he grabbed the H2O2 and took a quick swig of it. With a bit of the liquid still on his tongue, he ran it over the newly tightened screw to disinfect it a bit. "Blegh, nasty..."

Akido turned her head to one side watching him before asking Logan, "That wasn't concentrated enough to give him ulcer was it?" Directing the last part to Marcus, "You must have a stomach of steel." Shaking her head with a smile Akido didn't so particularly mind him talking a screwdriver to his mouth there were worse things that could happen. Tucking her feet under her she sat on the edge of the desk. Her glamour showed she was wearing shoes but in reality the girl was barefoot like always and that helped a bit. Being indoors was one of her less favorite places to be and it made her a bit fidgety. However she was lucky some of her people if left in the city would fade away and die even if every other need was met. She was still filled with curiosity as she balanced on the balls of her feet, "Now can I see?" It wasn't everyday you met someone with bolts in their mouth.

Marcus was afraid one of them would ask to see the screw he had just placed in his mouth. He would be more then willing except for the fact that the illusion he surrounded himself with hid all of his true self and only projected the person he was before the accident. He feared that staying on this topic could lead to them figuring out that he didn't actually look how he appeared. He attempted to stop the curiosity right then and there, "I would rather you not actually. Besides you can't even see it..." all the while he hoped this would lead to a different topic.

Looking at him for a moment her gaze was unreadable before she fell back into sitting Indian style, "Ok." Her voice still carried the amused joy that it held before but her eyes were an mask hiding all her true thoughts but for a blink of the eye hers would appear a pale blue instead of green. It still wasn't the true color but it would let her know at least one thing if he was observant enough "I still can't believe you just drank peroxide. That would make most people sick." A smile was carefully poised as she picked up the bone again turning it lightly in her hands no longer paying attention to it but after a moment she glanced away from Marcus to look at Logan "I just had one last question then my curiosity is sated for at least the day, You said that the movement of bone is limited by the skin and nerves but in theory if you can heal yourself is there anything that prevents you from healing in a different way than you started out?" Bowing her head she had the decency to look embarrassed, "I sound like someone planning to torture you don't I? " Looking up she smiled, "It really is just curiosity about the limits." While she was talking she didn't look back to Marcus then her stomach gave a small growl reminding her it had been a few days since she had eaten last.

Marcus gave an elongated blink. It was breif, but Marcus noticed her eyes looked different for a second. Though he was quite positive, his mind was not 100% since the accident. Leaving the idea that she was in fact hiding her appearance up for questioning.
He quickly regained himself to answer her "I've got worse things in me". He knew nor she or Logan would understand what that meant, but oh well.
Marcus then noticed her stomach growling. He thought about asking her to go down the the cafeteria with him and they could get something to eat. The idea seemed a bit foolish and not at all like him, however he still wanted to learn more about her. "Hungry huh. Wanna go down to the cafeteria and get something to eat?"

After a few minutes of standing there, Luke sighed out of boredom. "Its really hard to believe a school filled with mutants and all manner of other things could be this dull at times..." He muttered to himself, then he stepped over to both Marcus and Professor Logan "I ask for your forgiveness in advance" He said, looking to both of them before slipping his hands down "FROST WEDGEY!" Pulling up both of the men's underwear sharply, the cloth frozen almost instantly when Luke was done pulling. "Have fun trying to fix that without taking em off in front of the lady. Toodles!" Luke said, wiggling his fingers in a sort of way before darting out the door.

As uncomfortable as what Luke had just done was, Marcus wasn't about to let him know it. There was a fairly simple solution however. Since the underwear was frozen, enough vibration would shatter it.
Marcus closed his eyes and took a deep breathe. He let out a extremely deep tone that sent vibrations throughout his body. The sound was so deep that its likely no one could even hear it, but possible if they were close enough they might be able to feel the vibrations a bit. After a few seconds of tuning his voice just right, the underwear shattered. He simply shook his leg and let the broken bits fall down his pant leg. He decided he could go without underwear for a bit being that its a nice temperature inside. Looking at the door Luke had ran through he said, "Maybe we should get him neutered...", it was hard to tell whether or not he was joking.

Logan stared at Marcus after he drank the peroxide. He didn't say anything for a moment as he seemed to be thinking about something.
"....I'm just not going to say anything anymore," he said before turning his attention back to Akido.
He smiled and waved his hand lightly as a response to her comment.
"It's alright, I don't mind questions. And to answer it, most likely. I have worked on honing my healing powers over the years and I believe that I can probably heal most things that come to me. Nothing like terminal diseases or anything but you get my point."
He wasn't quite paying attention to Luke while he spoke to Akido, which was probably a bad idea. As soon as his hands touched Logan's clothing, he seemed to freeze. Not literally freeze, he just stopped moving. He forced a smile onto his face, despite the chill he felt.
"Thank you...Luke..." he muttered as he slowly began to become mobile again. He glanced down to his pants and wondered how he would go about...fixing the predicament Luke had put him in.
"If you'll excuse me..." he said after a moment before wearily limping over to the back room he had entered earlier.

Akido had forgotten about Luke without meaning to but she couldn't stop a smile from spreading across her face as he plagued the men in the room as she was unable to suppress a laugh. Laughing harder when Marcus commented about neutering the boy she made a small startled noise as she fell off the desk. Moving back up to her feet still smiling, "That boy is lucky neither of you regularly go commando." When Logan went to walk to the backroom Akido added, "Marcus offered me something to eat and I want to put up my trophy." she said talking about the done, "I'll let you get some rest before I go back to my insatiable questioning." She was trying to be polite but had no doubt when she saw him again she would have dozens more questions to ask the man. Biology Professors were always fascinating to talk to especially when they didn't mind talking about themselves. Looking to Marcus, "You said there was a cafeteria?"

Logan turned to look at Akido, placing his back to the door.
"Alright. I probably won't be here later, though," he said, leaning against the door slightly. "Have fun with your...food," he added, lifting his hand in a slight wave. Just as he did, the door he had been leaning on swung open inward. Logan's eyes shot wide for a brief moment before loosing his balance and falling backwards into the room. There was a slight clanking sound as his frozen boxers hit the ground along with the rest of his body.
"Oh, ow...that was smooth..." he muttered to himself, slowly pushing his back up off the ground. He rubbed the back of his hand with his hand.

Marcus was lost in his own mind, thinking of ways he was going to get back at Luke. However, Akido's voice brought him back to reality. "Yeah, I'll take you there if you want" he responded. As he stood, he felt even more shattered underwear tumble down his pant leg. He did another shimmy with his leg and let the remaining bits fall out.
