Shattered:
She's been sleeping a long time. Exactly how long, she's not sure.

But her dreams have not been peaceful. She remembers the pale man with the red jewel in his forehead. She remembers the blue and gray man.

She remembers the blood. The slaughter. Slashing and cutting. Hunting and killing.

And, worst of all, she remembers enjoying it.

The glass shards flash. The blood flows. The blue man laughs, a deep, booming laugh...

Abruptly, she sits up, screaming, tears running down her face, her sheets soaked in sweat. She doesn't know where she is. Strangers are all around her.

She looks at the people nearby, and screams again, terrified.

The magic washes over her, and she calms enough to begin becoming coherent.

"I... I can't stay here," she tells him, sliding closer to the door, like a cornered animal looking for an exit. Her blood drips down her arm where she tore the IV out. "I... I need to get out of here."

"He gives her a lot of room, extending a hand to where she could reach it, but only if she reached out.
"I would take you to the door myself and ask where you wanted to go, but you're still hurt too badly. Come lie down and talk to me. No one is going to tie you down, no one is going to ask anything of you... except that you give yourself a chance to get better. Please?"

"I..." She looks between the door and the offered hand. "Who are you?" she demands, not making a decision yet.

He really can't be concealing anything, and his hand remains out and open.

"My name is Lucas Moonstar. You're at Xavier's school for the gifted, in our medical wing. I'm a healer."

"I..." She looks back for the door. "Where's my family?"

"I don't know. I can't tell how much of what was in your dreams were memories and how much was nightmare... I'm a mutant, a dreampath... I helped get those other people's control off your mind... I can't read your thoughts, and wouldn't if I could. If you can tell me their names and where you lived, I'll try and help you find them though."

She looks back and forth, still not fully certain if she's still dreaming.

"It... wasn't just a dream, was it?"

"Right now, believe me, I would give a great deal to be able to tell you it was just a nightmare... but no. At least part of it was real. But it wasn't your fault, and you weren't the only one they brainwashed."

She slumps to the ground, sobbing.

He sits down next to her, starting with putting an arm around her shoulders, if she'll let him.

She grasps at him, no longer caring who he is, clinging and sobbing as the weight of what happened washes over her, bleeding from her torn IV.

He makes sure his hand makes contact with the bleeding injury, whispering a few words. That type of injury is much easier to heal, and she doesn't need to lose any more blood. Other than that, he holds her as long as she grasps to him, not telling her its ok, when he knows it isn't, or offering any other false comfort. Just making sure someone is there for her right now.
