On the Mend (open to Xers and Justin)
There were healers at home.  More than a few had shown up when the Blackbird landed and medical staff pulled her off the aircraft.  In short order Tina had been stabilized though her injuries were even more grave than what her teammates had thought when they plucked her from the rubble in Georgia.  By the time an actual doctor got to look at her it was widely accepted that something miraculous had spared Tina Frost's life, though the doctor was able to confirm that what had actually happened was a freak surge in her control over her diamond form--her vital  organs had turned diamond inside of her.  She'd lost a lot of blood, but nothing major was damaged beyond repair and while healers could patch her up better than new there was discussion of letting some of the damage heal itself, mostly because her body was fighting the healers.

Frost's were stubborn bitches after all.

Admitted to a private hospital in the city, Tina rested comfortably in her own room.  She was irritated, though.  The news pissed her off and the fact that her pain medication made her sleepy was another annoyance.  She missed her boyfriend.  She was lonely for her friends.  There were still lots of hours open for visits, though, and she hoped someone would show up.

And that someone would call Justin, let him know she was okay and where the hell she was.

"It's open."

Tina was sitting up in bed. She was tired, but it looked like she was up for awhile.

"Hey Joey."

"Hey, kiddo. You look tired." Joey says, remembering how they found her. That was pretty scary.

"You want me to let you rest and come back later?" he asks.

"Nah. I'm awake. The nurses keep coming in and poking at me so I won't be asleep until next shift change. Besides, this place is lonely and as of yet I haven't been able to reach my boyfriend. He probably thinks I ran away." She frowns. "How're you doing?"

"I'm good, for a guy who fails at being a boyfriend. Rose got burned to a crisp out there, and if she wasn't able to heal...that would have been the last time I saw her." Joey says. He'd thought about it a lot on the ride back home, between listening to Tina's delirium.

"Speakin' of boyfriends, you were pretty insistent about...Justin, right? Look, can I ask you something about him?" Joey asks.

Her eyes lit up at Justin's name and her expression softened.

"Yeah, it's Justin. What do you want to know about him?"

She didn't comment about Rose. Mostly because she knew that telling Joey he wasn't a bad boyfriend would have been pointless.

"How much does he know about what you're into?" Joey asks.

"He knows I'm a mutant. He knows my specific powers. He knows my mother is a villain. He...thinks I do IT support for Xavier's but not that I'm an X-Man and not that I'm X-Force. I...think I'm going to tell him, though. I don't exactly know how to explain a ten inch surgical incision on my side as a work accident when I supposedly work with computer."

"You can't tell him about X-Force, Tina." Joey says outright. "I understand you want to be honest with your man, but...this isn't the time. Especially not now."

Joey shifts in his seat and looks at Tina.

"Justin can't know about X-Force or anything going on at Xavier's. Whatever you have to tell him, whatever lie you need to make up, however many people you need to back you up on it, you can't tell him about what's really going on."

"You're telling me to lie to my boyfriend. To lie. To...be my mother, in a sense. You better have one fucking good reason for that suggestion, Joey because while I may fight in lingere, I am not my mother."

Joey knew he was about to hit below the belt, but he had to to get the point across.

"Cassidy. That kid needs to be protected at all costs, Tina. The more people who know what went down in Georgia, the worse it gets for him. Right now, the whole world thinks it was two groups of mutants fighting that blew up that town. There are 3,000 plus dead people that mark the whole thing." Joey says.

"Cassidy didn't meant to do that, but if they find him, who do you think is going to care? People like that Adrian Carver guy already think mutants need to be locked up after that whole Statue of Liberty business a few months back. If they found out a sixteen year old kid just leveled a city...they wouldn't wait. They'd kill every mutant they saw to get even.

Justin's probably heard about what happened by now. If you tell him you were a part of that, how do you think he'll react? He's gonna have questions. How? Why? Who? Any answer you give that isn't 'Cassidy' is a lie.

And how do you know Justin won't turn Cassidy in himself if he knows?" Joey asks.

"Because he..."

Wouldn't? Tina stopped herself to take stock of what she did know about her boyfriend and...it wasn't the stuff of long term relationships where you could predict exactly how they would react or could guess the thing they'd want. Her relationship was still new. She was still learning.

Joey was right. But it didn't stop her from being pissed.

"I don't like this."

"I don't like telling you to lie to your boyfriend, Tina. Believe me, I don't. But right now, Cassidy is the most wanted person in the U.S. and if they find him...he can't survive the stuff all of us have survived, Tina. Do you know that he sleeps out on the lawn after everyone goes to bed? I asked him why and he said that his room is too small.

He doesn't like bein' touched, at all. He doesn't meet people's eyes when they talk to him. Sinister and his band of freaks did something to him, and it's messed him up. I can tell." Joey says.

"I know you love Justin. You were saying it over and over on the way here. But that's got to take a backseat to Cassidy's well-being, because right now, you're the only person he trusts enough to talk to. If the kid feels threatened, he'll either try to run for it, or he'll go nuclear and that would be bad for everyone.

Just tell Justin you're okay and wait a bit to see him. Then make sure whatever you tell him sticks so that he doesn't ask questions." Joey says.

"You don't know Justin. He'll ask questions. The only way he won't is if I mess with his head and I'm not doing that, Joey." Tina frowned and looked down at her hands. She knew how this would play out. She felt it in her gut. She'd lie to Justin. He wouldn't buy it. There would be some sort of lack of trust or an argument or both and when that happened, the relationship would crumble. At the end of the crumbling Tina would be alone, having lost the only person she ever loved.

But then there was Cassidy. Who needed her. Needed her in ways that no one but her could understand.

"I'm going to lose the only person who has ever loved me over this. I hope you're good with that because I'm going to blame you."

"Don't be so doom-and-gloom. Maybe Justin can learn to live with not knowin' everything. A little mystery is good in a relationship, after all." Joey says.

"But if somethin' goes wrong, I'll personally explain it all to him and make it stick. I used to make a living out of making people believe what I wanted them, to. Shouldn't be a problem." Joey says.

"Trust me when I say this, Joey. My entire life is a worst-case-scenario. This will eventually be a problem. Lies always are."

She sighed.

"So. Any other lectures or suggestions for me?" She was hurt and if it hadn't been for all the medication, she'd probably have unwilling turned diamond all over. Instead, just her eyes did. To keep her from crying.

Crap. He hadn't meant to hurt her feelings. He just wanted to impress upon her that Cassidy needed to be sheltered from the fallout of all of this.

"Tina, I'm sorry. I didn't meant to be an ass. I just...I know you care about this kid. I just don't wanna see you put your trust in someone who may not deserve it. At the end of the day, humans hate and fear us. One human might be okay, but Collective Humanity would hang us out to die without thinking about it. Especially if we'd blown up a town full of humans." Joey says.

"Cassidy shouldn't have to deal with that after all he's been through. No one should."

"I'm not letting anything happen to Cassidy. Period. I'll even protect him from all of you if I have to. I wasn't completely gone out there, Joey. You guys would have zapped him if I hadn't been there. I understand that but...I get it. Cassidy first.. I get it. I get it better than you know."

"Whoa, hold on, Tina! We're all on the same side here. And yeah, I was pissed at the kid. He blew up my girlfriend. I couldn't just hug him and call it even." Joey says.

"Rose stopped me from attacking him, but that kid has no issue fighting if he has to. I don't want to hurt him, though. He's been through enough." he says.
