The Writings On The Wall.

My memory flips back to the long crimson streak that was my wife's

life strewn across our freshly painted white walls. She must have stuggled,

she must have tried to run, why she didn't use her powers to protect

herself, I may never know. Was whomever came and violated our sanctuary

to rob us of our peace prepared? Someone beat her for little more than game

sport. Mutant hunting season is open, I presume.


I've tried to repaint that room, I just can't bring myself to do it.

I wonder how it was I wasn't there to protect her as he spilt pools of seamen

into her unwilling body in my bed, our bed. How he let her run so he could hunt

her down, and do it again before attempting to kill her. He, he whom I'll never know his

name felt good about leaving her naked body for me to find two days

later when I came home from Genosha. The window open where summer air stung through and

and bugs, animals, anything could eat. Her legs broken, her arms tied, how that had

to hurt.

Beast feels horrible, He and she were the only ones here, the rest of us had

to go, to save lives. He spent all his time in his lab, would have never realized

she never came around. How she must have screamed as she was beaten, but you can't

hear a thing from three basements under, he knows we forgave him. But can I forgive

"him"? The man that so very nearly took my wife from me?


We found his skin under her nails, but what good is that when we don't have a thing

to compare it to? Why her? What did she ever do to this man? I come to think

about how many times we have saved lives, only to be treated as animals

by the people we risk everything for. We fear this kind of thing

happining when we are out on the field, but in our own homes? When we

are just simple men and women doing the same things that all men and women do?


She was painting a room. Why did this merit what that horrid man did to my wife?

He beat her until he thought she had died. The police came when we called, but a mutant

woman being brutally assaulted doesn't even come close to the list of

concerns of the New York police, not unless it was in a doughnut shop.


I don't even know is I'll ever even see another tomorrow with her. Everyday I still

have her is a blessing, Even if she can't see or hear me. Hank says there is a big

chance that if my baby lives, she will always be blind, Everything else can be fixed.

She'll look just like she did before, if she lives. I want to just hold her

close one last time, caress her face, her hair, hear her laugh. Everybody

is already preparing me for her death, while they hope she lives. Hope, Hope

and a miriacle is all we have.

Why this man felt he had the right to shatter a life for whatever

reason he wanted my wife, is beyond all fathonable reason. I

hope we find the bastard. Make him see what he did. I want to make him

clean every square inch of what he did up with his tongue. The seamen,

the blood and the torn bits of flesh that moulded to the carpet as we pried

her body off the floor. I want him to taste his own filth for what he did.

I cannot even sleep in that bed after what he did. I had to get a new one.


One I hope my wife can share wth me one day. In peace and comfort, make our

children there, read stories to our grand children here. I know

that might not happen, and if she lives, the writing left on the wall

to this terrible deed has to fade. How much might she remember? How

terrified she must have been, how she must have tried to call out to me.


Her broken body, I cannot ever forget, and how she didn't bleed to death is beyond me.

Sometimes, it's just too much to comprehend how close she is to slipping

away from me forever. Beast is working nonstop, as well as Cecila to help her.

They work very well together, they should be together. Maybe this happened for

that reason, but that still doesn't stop me from wanting to get my

hands on the monster that did this.

They gave me a lock of her hair to keep, for memory. With all the pictures

in my mind, She already fills my memory. Even the smallest scent of her

fills my mind with her. And I still hold her in my dreams, just as stiches and tubes

hold her together now. All I wish is she comes back to me, because

if she does, I'm never letting go again.
