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)

	There's a knock at the door. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Her nose rested against Misha's, her eyes shut before she heard to knock on the door. "Come in," she said with a sigh. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hey, honey," Warren said as he entered. He stopped when he saw that she had company. "I'm not interrupting anything, am I?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Nothing at all," Lyta turned her head over in her father's direction. "Hi, Dad." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Hi, sweetheart. Hello, Misha. I heard about what happened and I had to come see you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2010-03-22 12:06 am UTC (link)
	"Hi, Uncle Warren." Misha kissed Lyta's cheek and stood up. "I'll let you two talk. I'll be around if you need me later." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-03-22 12:11 am UTC (link)
	"Okay." Lyta returned the kiss on the cheek, "I'll be sure to find you, then." "It's good to see you, Dad." She said, after Misha left, standing up to wrap her arms around her father. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Warren nodded to Misha as he left. When Lyta hugged him, Warren wrapped his arms around her and held her tight. He dropped a kiss on the top of her head. "You okay? I was so worried about you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	It was probably a bad time for Gabriel to bring company to the mansion. When he heard about what had happened, he left Connor with a trustworthy staff member and immediatly went for Lyta's room. The door was open and he saw the people inside, but Gabriel knocked anyway. No words could leave him yet. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Lyta looked up and peered around her father's shoulder when she heard the knock. "Hi Gabe," she said, managing a tiny smile. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_gabriel 2010-03-23 12:47 am UTC (link)
	"Hey there." He managed his own smile. "I came with a present," he said, "It may make you feel a bit better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She slipped out of her father's hug. "You didn't have to bring me anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	little_gabriel 2010-03-23 12:50 am UTC (link)
	To that, he smirked. "Actually," he said, "This was something I brought before I found out about this whole... situation. I think you'll like this a lot, because I'm sure you've been wanting to meet somebody for awhile now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2010-03-23 12:52 am UTC (link)
	She pieced that together. "You brought Connor?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
