Summary
Billy Hargrove hit Mike just a little bit harder, Max woke up just a little bit later and Mike Wheeler had always had shitty luck. He gets drugged, hauled to Russia and jabbed with so many needles that he doesn’t know where he began and the needles ended.
But it’s not so bad (He’s lying, it fucking sucks) at least he has the boy in the bed next to his, and relatively regular mealtimes and- Yeah, he's having trouble coming up with anything positive.
He just wants to go home, but the doctor and this strange new thing in his chest isn’t going to let him. That’s fine, he’ll just have to get himself out.
-
TLDR: Mike Wheeler gets taken to Russia, gets powers and has to figure out how to get himself the hell out of there without killing himself or getting killed first.

Summary
“I kind of lost myself trying to be who I thought I was supposed to be in that relationship,” he admitted, the gravity of his honesty hanging heavily in the air. “So when she broke up with me,” Mike said, exhaling deeply as if releasing a breath he had been holding for too long, “I think I’m just… starting to let myself feel again. To do what I want. To figure out who I really am.”

Summary
Mike watched her go with a feeling of relief that he instantly tried to repress. Will sat down next to him, almost immediately, holding a pile of x-men comics with a bag of chips balanced on top of it.
“Oh cool, I was I just going to get those.” He said, turning to Will.
“Yeah?” A small smile flickered at the edge of Will’s mouth.
And the small, traitorous thought of ‘It would be nice if it was Will’ flashed across his mind.
People keep bringing up sitting on each other's laps around Mike. It has an effect.
