Days seemed to pass by fast. I woke to someone bounding on my door, glancing at clock watch read 7:45, running hand threw hair, watch hung lose now and not in its usual Dutch braid. I grumbled as I got out bed" coming "I said making way up took door leg felt bit stiff. My room was like all others same color grey, no windows, in middle room up against wall was bed, nightstand, and dresser. To right was small room with bathroom and shower, sink and mirror, not all had showers some bathtubs ever others rooms were bigger, had more beds to accommodate bigger families. Nicholas face looked scared more than normal, when I opened door see him standing there. I yawned bit having not gotten much sleep between hearing the voices of the people in refuge all night. Not even when few objects fell did realize I was making them float." You have come help please, others awake I didn't know what to do" said Nicholas voice talking so fast I nearly didn't catch it all.
I rubbed my eyes before I spit out" what slowdown" "just follow me" said Nicholas; he grabbed hand and dragged me to what every he was talking about. Gut was telling me something didn't feel right.
Charles lay on his back, rolled head to side see beast on other bed sound asleep. Still by now alarm clock said 8: 00, for change he had slept in, since opening school he slept more on weekends as classes started at 8. being wide awake now no point going back sleep, than again he couldn't move get up he always had someone help him with that. It was sad knowing he could get up, dressed and so forth without help. He decided to try something. Beast slept soundly not even realizing Charles took his body over while he slept. It was only way Charles knew that he could get Beast up but not actually up, hand if didn't have powers he wouldn't know what he would do, other then maybe still teach mutants even if powers were gone.
Magneto was already up, towel taped around waist, water still damp on his body and hair. Morning shower didn't hurt I was refreshing. It did leave room hotter, it wouldn't last though.
In the training room was different story. Once Astrid and Nicholas arrived she now saw what Nicholas ment. The training room was huge room filled with what you would find in gym, as well as archery, knife throwing, wrestling ring, pool at far far end room. Stood Joshua, he had super strength; he was a well build man in his early 30s, his white mussel shirt really showed his mussels. He was 5"9 had short dark hair, dark skin, wore blue jean pants. Joshua hands clutched whip in his hand, I totally forgot they had those too. He was hitting targets as ne normally did, almost. This time he was hitting things toughing them like he going on rampage." See what mean" said Nicholas he was careful stay far away from Joshua as he could.
Reaching out to Joshua though his mind" Joshua, claim down" I had push past all as much voices in head, not mention headache." Were here let us help you" voice as claim, taking steps toward Joshua, getting shuts from Nicholas" careful Bee" I need I was always careful as I could be. Hands reached out to Joshua, only few feet stood between us now. It wasn't till Joshua flung his whip at me, sending me flying. Landing on back I hit ground with thud, pain ran through body. I looking at right shoulder, were pain was worse. I had one long straight wound blood dripping from me did Nicholas run out room. I never pictured Nicholas to be covered he had gone for help no doubt about it.
Beast was finally up when saw Charles in wheelchair, how had he managed that. But he didn't need answers this was Charles he had his ways, it shouldn't have guess or be surprised. "Morning professor" said Beast, walking up fridge seeing what stuff had for breakfast that he could whip up.
Charles thought was cut when herd Nicholas frantic thoughts" I think were wanted. Somewhere" said Charles.
Magneto was just chilling on his bed, he herd voice running "help hey" he wasn't sure name person but he couldn't help tiny bit wonder what could possibly could be, better not get involved at all sit back and watch tv. But then there was crash and couldn't take it, no more it and burst out room.
"Erik good morning" said Charles till he noticed Eric face, hands clinched into fist he was mad but oh the noises what got to his as read his mind. Beast stood next to Charles" hey" he said. Beast didn't want risk more to Erik Charles noticed when he was stood quite after that.
"You didn't hear load crashes, how's man relax with that" said Magneto every little thing was bothering him lot more than usual it seemed like. To him maybe fact Charles had called him his place in first place they wouldn't be in such mess." We not hear to relax, this not just some vacation Erik" said Charles. Magneto and Charles just continued ague. Beast growled bit at their arguing watch didn't stop would they ever.
"What's all rack about" said havak he and Quicksilver making their way towards them clearly the shouting had woken them up. Most people were asleep Havak would think, with shouting they were not going be for long. Quicksilver stretched, yawned bit" Ya what gives" said Quicksilver in his usual fast pace voice.
Wolverine listened in far distance smoking cigarette, he was stopped by Nicholas" hey Logan right?" asked Nicholas Wolverine nodded" call me Wolverine if want too" Logan cutting off Nicholas for second. Nodding ok" Wolverine could you please help we have problem" Nicholas explained situation too Logan. He was trying getting more new mutants involved so they felt more comfortable.
Wolverine, stuck his cigarette in ashtray beside him" why not kid" said Wolverine. Nicholas did happy jump" don't do that please lead why" Nicholas nodded almost forgetting he was happy and lead Wolverine towards training room.
"Joshua please" I said this time out load, nearly dogging his whip; my arm went up block my face. Grinned as hit my arm. Ok so talking didn't seem be working had be creative, doing best to focus despite now pain, voices and pounding headache. My focus was on Joshua eyes it must have worked I heard Joshua shout. "Hey I can't see"
But how long could I keep this up, I was losing grip already, it wasn't till tasted blood I noticed my nose was bleeding bit. Great I thought one more thing I need happening. Eyes moved bit away still no sign of Nicholas yet what could be taking so long. Speaking of watch I spotted Nicholas, he had Logan with him thank god.
Beat, Havak and Quicksilver wondered if Charles and Erik would ever stop and work together they kinda did before. Magneto grumbled listing Charles talk" we help , train then maybe relax later" said Charles it seemed pointless to try argue with Erik, there seemed no reasoning with him.
"Hey maybe we should go help it been like 5 minutes" said Havak bored watching them fight; it didn't get them nowhere ever. Beast and Quicksilver couldn't agree more. Any longer and things could have ugly. No one would have liked seen that. The others had point more time they spent arguing better and they all went in direction a person point out, seeing as they still didn't know way around yet. Towards the training were people were talking them herd sounds, and crashes from.
Wolverine had his claws come out, and then charged Joshua he charged Wolverine, maybe if I had stayed focused and not in as much pain things would have been different. Stead Nicholas pulled me out way, he very shocked I was standing, seeing whip marks on back, arm and one that was just between right shoulder and collarbone going across it nearly to breast. Plus nose was bleeding bit too.
"You ok" said Nicholas not convinced she was ok. Watched Astrid movement it was slower than normal, her wounds might be taken lot out her, and she seemed by out practice with powers as well." Go get cleaned up, and rest alright"
For minute I watched Wolverine and Joshua fight" just be sure he doesn't hurt Joshua too much" I said as Joshua too few cuts on arms, three cuts to chest, shirt torn in process. He wasn't like Wolverine when read his mind I saw he was able heal very fast" Joshua don't heal like Wolverine does"
