Nicky was wandering the hallway with Razi hoping to find his father or Emma. He needed somebody he knew somebody he could trust completely. He was slowly adapting to his new body but he was scared and uneasy about what it might mean. He'd finally gotten a good look at himself in a mirror the transformation shocking. He looked sort of like this

Jack had no idea who they were, and his hunting instincts took over. He automatically took his gun out, and had almost put a round through the stranger's head before he could stop himself. His finger stayed poised on the trigger as he looked the man over. For all he knew, it was one of the mutants, affected by whatever had done this to him. And then the puppy came trotting after him. Wait, if that was Razi, then that meant this was-
"Nicky?" There was an incredulous tone to Jack's voice, and on his face as well.

Jack absentmindedly pet Razi on the head as he studied the man Nicky had been transformed into. He resembled Victor strongly, mostly in his body and that same guarded look about the face. But the eyes had remained the same, something youthful in them that even time could not erase. "Let me guess. You woke up and found yourself looking like this." From what he had gathered, it was the same all over the camp.

Nicky wasn't as modest as his friend and the moment he'd realized he'd changed he'd headed out in a sheet. Razi leaning into Jack tail wagging happily.

She looked up and blushed, confusion written on her face as she tried to figure out just who she was standing in front of. A handsome, barely dressed man.
With a puppy dog.
Frowning, her eyes widening, she blinked. "...um...that's Nicky's puppy..."

He sniffed for a second his head tilting as he looked at her. Nicky shifted a little confused by her reaction to him. He didn't really understand it especially the blush she had.

That? That was so very wrong. So very very wrong.
"Well. Um. Nicky. You need some clothing. Right now." she coughed a little and then glanced at a supply closet, biting her lip. If she could get in there, she could certainly conjure some clothing for him.
"I'm going to check in here, ja?" she still avoided looking at him and she opened the door, slipping into the closet.

He nodded when she said she'd look in the closet. "Ok. I'll wait here with Razi."

Emma needed coffee to deal with this shit, and then tune everyone the hell out. She'd managed to take a look at herself, and she wasn't exactly happy with what she saw. But she still needed to find Victor, check on Rictor and then see about Logan and Nicky.
She could go back to Esme and St John later to check on them. She was about the enter the mess hall when she almost walked into someone. "Pardon you." She muttered, moving to step around them, when she frowned, taking a closer look.
"Nicky?"

"You look different." Nicky gave her a little smile.

And she glanced at his hands. "Your claws?"

He held up his hands showing her his claws. They looked like his father's though they were cleaner and much neater than the older mutants.

He caught Nicky's scent before he saw him, familiar and mingled with the usual wet-dog smell of Razi, and there was a moment of panic as he wondered just what had become of his son. When he turned to look at him, though, he almost couldn't believe his eyes.
"Cublet?"

"Pretty big huh?"

There was a pause before Victor replied, his mind needing a moment to process the fact that his son was now a hulking bruiser, just like he was - and a handsome one at that, if he could say so himself. If what had happened with Logan was any indication, then Nicky really would look like this when he was older - if whatever had happened could ever be reversed. And in all honesty, that made Victor proud.
"You keep this up, kid, you're gonna make your dad jealous."

Now that he'd found his father it was easier for Nicky to try and be positive about the change. Just being close to his father made him feel safer even if he was bigger now.
"I look like you only a little different."
