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.

	There's someone sitting beside her, just snapped awake from trying to ease her dreams. What she's seen, he's seen. He knows her trauma, and how she felt about so much of what came before. And with it, how much she needed to not wake up alone. "Shhh, you're safe now. Its over." (Reply to this)(Thread)

	She screams again. Another stranger. Another strange place. More medical equipment. She tries to jump to her feet, uncoordinated, the IV in her arm tearing out as she collapses to the ground. She tries to scramble to her feet. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He would prefer not to use magic, but he does say a few words to try and help clear and calm her mind, and perhaps help trigger some sense that he might be familiar, the boy in her dreams who tried to help her. "Relax, you're not a prisoner here, but you need time to heal. I can explain." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	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." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"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. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	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." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Anya had been out there the second they told her Toni had been brought in. She had taken up a position near Toni's bed to keep a vigil. When Toni woke and started sobbing, Anya got up and sat on the edge of the bed. She wrapped her arms around Toni and held her. "You're safe now," she said quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Who else would it be?" she asked. "You're at Xavier's in the medlab. They brought you here after the fight." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	The fight? Oh. Oh yeah. That fight. She seemed to have lost the metal though. Seemed to have also lost the tattoos, for that matter. "I..." she started, then shifted focus. "Charlie. I was fighting him. Is he...?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait turned to see who had spoken and then smiled. "Not bad all things considered. How are you?" Yeah, she remembered fighting him and trying to crush him with water. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	“Not too bad myself either,” Aaron said smiling back at Cait. “I’m not sure how much you remember but I wanted to say I’m sorry about electrocuting you so badly,” Aaron said very sincerely. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	When she could, Sylvie came to see who was currently awake, climbing over various pieces of furniture and equipment that looked safe. Eventually, her wheelchair would get priority in the repairs. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	A young woman sits in her bed, where Lucas helped her back to bed. She sits upright, awake, but she's not really focusing on anything at the moment. She stares off into the distance, not quite meeting anyone's gaze. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Sylvie crawls over, trying not to get close enough to be potentially intimidating, but enough for conversational distance. She grips onto something with her lower hands. "Hello. You need anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shattered 2010-03-16 05:38 am UTC (link)
	She looks over, as if noticing her for the first time. She blinks, seemingly confused by the question for a moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hi. I'm Sylvie. You need a glass of water or anything?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shattered 2010-03-16 05:48 am UTC (link)
	"Um... thanks," she says. "I'm... Melinda." She thinks a moment, as if unsure if she wants a glass of water or not. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
