Nate felt really odd. Really, really odd. Being in someone else’s body, with their powers, with their bodily reflexes, was odd. Even with it being Cora. He felt really awkward, and while he had no clue what to do, he knew he needed to talk to his dad, anyway. His dad in Logan’s body. Argh. He knew mom was going to try to fix that, and he had no idea if he would be talking to the red sunglasses he knew, or the bad breath of Logan.
Man, today was weird!
And he was short, to boot. And that sucked too.
Scott wasn’t used to being short either. At least Logan wasn’t quite as short as in the dreams, but it was still disconcerting. And he itched. Scott liked being clean shaven, and having a beard sucked. Why did people like this?!
Nate peered in, then sighed. “Hey, dad. How’s it going?” Today was going to be a long day. He just wanted things to be back to normal. His voice even sounded odd to his ears, even though he did love Cora and how she sounded. It just felt odd for that to be his voice.
“Adjusting to being a teenaged girl yet?” Scott asked, raising his eyebrows at the gruffness of his own voice.
“Not really. Mostly just trying to walk normally, exercise, and not jump everytime I talk.” Nate chuckled. “And wandering between our two houses and Graymalkin. So, wheee?”
He eyed his father in his Logansuit. “How goes the adventures in Canadianland?”
“I think I understand why Logan is an asshole most of the time.” He rubbed at his knuckles. “I feel like I’m constantly on edge. Try not to talk so loudly, please.”
Nate squinted at his dad then nodded. “I’ll try. Maybe you should take a hot bath?” Or an herbal one?” He hmmed. “Or try some of those teas we got. The Japanese ones in the kitchen? A familiar taste might help?”
“Logan doesn’t strike me as much of a tea drinker, but he’s surprised before.” As for baths, Scott was trying to avoid getting naked as much as possible.
Nate nodded. “Hopefully this will pass quickly. I’ve got Professor working on options while Kitty and Emma work on things from their end.”
“Emma wasn’t able to do anything with just her powers.” Plus she was still mad at him.
“I know. I figured that might happen once it was done. It’ll take what caused it to undo it, which means me and Cora, and the machine, or another such, together. So, Professor is running every test he can and I’m talking to Cora, after this, again, in hopes of reversing it quickly.”
And being very careful. Very careful.
"Just be careful," Scott cautioned. "You make a cute girl but I'd rather this not be permanent."
Nate snorted. “Yeah. Me too. I’m working on it. Hopefully, within a few days, between mom, Kitty, Professor, and me, we can fix this.” He nodded.
“You’re all geniuses.” He smirked wrly, which looked just weird on Logan’s face. (in fact Logan standing so ramrod straight was pretty weird in general)
“Bah. Stupid geniuses, sometimes.” But he grinned at his dad(in Logan’s body. Ugh) “I’d better get back, before people hit each other.”
“Who’s going to hit each other?” Scott asked, grinning back.
Nate made a face. “Kitty and Emma. They are cooperating so far, but, ah, well, I don’t have a jello pool set up, and that would just be weird right now anyway.” With a lopsided grin, he headed for his room to grab some things before heading toward the area where his mom was working.
Jello, Scott thought. Hell, maybe Emma and Velma could work out their differences that way, too.
He had no idea that Logan had the exact same thoughts.
