Still Shattered:
Melinda has been cleared for getting up and walking around, and wants to see the grounds. She's walked through the living areas, the kitchen, all the areas where she has clearance.

She steps outside. The jumpsuit they've provided her helps cut down on the late-winter chill, but she doesn't notice anyway. She still feels frozen through to her soul.

If she still has one.

She walks through the frosted ground, hearing the grass crunch under her feet. And it reminds her of the sound of her own body, turned to glass, shattering into deadly shards... and the blood running over it...

She stops walking, realizing she's come to a small lake on the edge of the grounds. And she stares at it, a thin sheet of ice, barely more than frost, covering it. And she considers...

Rachel had been enjoying flying around the mansion, working her psychic kinks out. She'd pushed herself during the last fight--and still needed to have a good, sit-down conversation with Mom and Dad when things were less crazy--but she seemed to be suffering no side effects from having channeled the Phoenix Force.

She set down near Melinda and jerked in sudden surprise. She hadn't realized who she'd been landing near. "Oh. Um. Hi?" she tried.

She looks up at Rachel with shock.

Memories of her last moments as Death flash before her eyes. She wanted to kill Rachel.

"S...Sorry," she tells Rachel. "I... I'll go."

She turns to leave.

"No, don't," Rachel said. "You don't have to. Just... surprised me."

Aaaawkwaaard.

She pauses, not leaving immediately.

But, uncertain what to say, she waits silently, to see if Rachel has anything to say.

"Um," Rachel tried. "How're you holding up?"

She frowned, realizing how lame that sounded. "I'm, uh, sorry, about the whole vaporizing thing. I, ah, didn't mean to..."

"Yes, you did," Melinda says icily.

And she should have. She should have just killed me altogether. It would have been safer that way for everyone.

How to explain that no, it wasn't her, but the living embodiment of fiery rebirth and death? ...How did you explain that to anyone whose last name wasn't Grey or Summers?

"I didn't," she still insisted. "I'd never done anything like that before."

"Don't apologize," Melinda replies, angry. "You did what you had to do."

Rachel wasn't so sure. And the anger rolling off Melinda was almost palatable to her developing telepathic powers.

"Um..." she frowned again. "Yeah. Maybe."

"Yeah," Melinda agrees. "Are we done here?"

"Yeah, I guess so," Rachel said. "But, um, I'm Rachel. And I'm probably the last person you want to talk to, but if you do need to, I'm around."

God, could she be anymore square?

"I'm sure I'll do that," she says sarcastically, then turns on her heels and storms off.

But as soon as she's out of Rachel's hearing, Melinda collapses to her knees and begins to sob.
