After the Storm
The Marauders are gone. At least for now. They still haven't determined what that was all about, and right now, Lucas doesn't care. He's been hard at work ever since the attack, despite his own psychological scars, healing who he can. When the medical labs, Hank McCoy, and the other healer assured him they had things under control, he went to talk to Scott, and got permission to do the hardest task yet.
He sighs, setting down the pencil and reviewing the letter.

Viki's room is smeared with blood and less identifiable stains. All the cages are open. A couple of mice cower at the back of their cages, the metal rattling a little with their shaking, the noise adding an additional eerie tone to the dark room. At least three cages are empty. One looks like it held some kind of bird, from the mess of feathers left. Two were with the rodents, rats or guinea pigs or something.
The puppy is completely frantic, unhurt, but barking up a storm at anything that moves, definitely more on edge and hostile than usual. Before anything can be done in further examination, it has to be forcibly removed from the room. There's no calming it at the moment.
The bloody trail from there, almost like tracks as if Talitha was walking on hands and feet by that point, leads to the closet, where a dark smear marks the doorknob. Its slightly ajar.

Inside, at first, it appears to be the worst. Viki is inside, there's blood and other stains on her clothing and a terrible smell. She's very, very still, huddled in a corner.

Whenever Sylvie can bring herself to check any closer, she's not only alive, but entirely unhurt. But she's totally non-responsive, aside from twitching whenever she's touched, and staring blankly if her eyes are opened.

	Sylvie, once she has eventually ascertained this, will crawl to the window and shout for somebody to come who can carry her. She looks around at the blood, the feathers. Sylvie figures Vicki must have talked to her, somehow, instinctively. Because what had come through here was definitely an animal. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ben shows up first, then has to pause to run to the bathroom to throw up. Still, he returns before anyone else can respond. Right now, the mansion is that bad off. He has a broken arm, at the least, and a number of severe scratches, but he's got a sling and bandages. And telekinetic power to suffice for raw strength. "What... what happened?"

	"One of those--" A string of foul Spanish "came in here, and I didn't think and she ate some of Vicki's pets and...the blood's not hers, but god knows what she's seen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Marauders." he says quietly as he levitates Viki's form up. She squeaks a little and huddles up tighter, but doesn't resist. "They called themselves the Marauders." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Oh," Sylvie says, quietly. "That's what we needed," says absently as she crawls behind them. "History repeating itself." (Reply to this)(Parent)
