Picking up the pieces (open)
Lyta sat on the window seat in her old room at Xavier's. Her wings were folded in and she was holding a knee to her chest.

It had taken several tries and several bottles of the best hair dye that she could get her hands on, but she'd gotten her hair back to its original color. Her feathers remained a shade of gray, a sort of sick reminder of what she'd done when her mind was under the control of Apocalypse.

No one blamed her, they said. It wasn't her own doing. Her mind wasn't under control.

Didn't mean that she still couldn't kick herself in the ass about it, though.

She'd called the Champions earlier to tell them that she was taking a break from the team. That she needed to clear her head.

Her door was shut, but not locked. She hadn't thought to lock it. Right now she just wanted stare out the window at the setting sun and forget about everything that had happened for a little while.

	There was a quiet knock at the door. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Come in." Her voice was a dull monotone, as she continued to stare out the window, not turning her head. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He opened the door and slipped inside. It wasn't the time for a cute nickname, so he didn't say it. "Lyta." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She didn't even so much as move a muscle. "Hi." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He wanted to tell her it was going to be all right, but it didn't look like she was ready to hear it. Besides, the adults had all said the words possible over and over again. Instead, he sat down on the end of her bed and waited. For something, or nothing. He was here if she needed him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A part of her wanted to tell him that she wanted to be left alone. That she wasn't up to seeing anyone right now.

But she'd been shutting everyone out ever since she'd gotten her mind back to herself.

Wordlessly, she moved from the window seat to sit beside him on the edge of her bed. She didn't say anything, just moved in close to him, resting her head on his shoulder.

	Misha put his arm around her shoulders, pressed a kiss to her forehead and stayed quiet. She would let him know what she needed from him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Right now, she just needed someone to lean on for a little bit. Eventually, though, words came out. "That guy on the Avengers, Ryan...I wonder if he's okay..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She nodded into his shoulder. "If I hurt him, I don't think I'd be able to ever forgive myself...." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-21 09:30 pm UTC (link)
	He wasn't going to tell her that it wasn't her that hurt anybody. She knew it. He'd let time convince her of it. All he was going to do was be her friend and love her like he always had, and find out if Ryan was okay. He squeezed her a little tighter. "I'll find out tonight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She kissed underneath his neck. "Thank you." "How're you doing?" she asked him after another pause. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-21 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm okay. Better now." He rubbed his cheek against her hair. "Say the word and I'll take you on a long vacation whenever you want." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Promise? And we can go somewhere nice, like...Paris?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-21 10:22 pm UTC (link)
	"I promise. Anywhere you want." He stroked her hair. "When you're ready, we're going. Everything else can be put on hold for awhile." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-03-21 10:28 pm UTC (link)
	"I could be ready in five minutes, if I wanted to." She closed her eyes, his fingers stroking her hair being rather soothing. "I just want to get away from everything, for a little while, at least." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-21 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Paris for awhile. Rome. Athens. Swing by the islands. Whatever sounds good to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It all sounds wonderful. Did I ever tell you how amazing you are?" She kissed him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He smiled a little against her mouth and poked a little fun at himself. "I always like hearing it. Me and my royal ego. I'm serious, honey. Five minutes, five hours, five days, whenever you want to go, we'll go. Say the word and we'll be gone." (Reply to this)(Parent)
