She was faced with what she thought was the biggest moment of her
life.Playing hero. She swallowed, keeping herself aloft it was becoming a
more natural thing, as though she didn't have to think about it, and she'd
only been up in the air a few seconds. She moved her hands forward, and
took a few more shaky breaths, pushing her hands forward, she concentrated
hard, picturing the lines twisting free of their hold, breaking out.
The thick cable started to twist and grind within its hold She gasped, the cable groaning as it started to give, Leo pulling her hands back, it hurt, it hurt like hell, as though someone were tugging constantly on her mind, barely able to keep herself aloft, she struggled desperately, as the bird reigned chaos within the gym, with not enough room to move, it was being steered back toward the wall in the gym, another deafening squawk and Leo wrenched her hands upward, the cable flying loose, her mind was racing with thought. ::Get out!! Get out!!:: It seemed, her telepathy had stemmed to outside of her own mind. A puff of smoke, and the phase of bodies through the gym wall, and the group stood on the grass outside the gym, Kyle and Jean lain carefully upon the grass.
The cable span in the air as the Phoenix twisted within the gym, thrusting toward the gaping hole in the wall, Leo shut her eyes as the cable end exploded.The heavy lead falling to the ground, sparks showering the ground as it struck the phoenix the moment it emerged from the gym. The bird shrieked as the electricity cable drove into one of the ruby quartz eyes, causing a shatter of red glass and bent metal. There was a choked sort of growl, as though it were a living.Breathing thing.
Leo gasped, her heart felt as though she was going to explode. Her eyes wide, she took a moment to rejoyce, a smile pulling at her lips, she punched the air with her fists. Punching until..
"LEO!!" Her eyes snapped wide as she lost concentration, plummeting toward the ground. Scott looked urgently at Jean, still out cold, he could only watch in horror as Kurt took matters into his own hands, breaking into a sprint, he ported, reappearing directly beneath her, mid air, her caught her with a grunt. With wide eyes, she held on tightly as he ported again, landing off to the side near his team mates. She blinked, feeling him stagger a moment, she stared at him wide eyed, the blue, fuzzy hands keeping her upright, she continued to sort of stare at him. The bright yellow eyes, stared at her unblinking, though he looked a little shaken, he did a very strange thing. He dropped her to her feet, and hugged her.Laughing.
"Hey trooper." Leo smiled, leaning over the med lab bed, bracing her folded arms against the metal bars, a hand coming down to touch his forehead. Kyle had been out like a light for a couple of weeks. Finally he'd come around. He smiled up at her, a little groggy as she drew her hand from his forehead. "Leo.." He raised his brows, before gradually pulling himself into an upright position, grimacing as he pushed a smile to his lips. "Hi." Leo nodded her head, pulling herself atop the end of the bed, her legs swinging absently. "I'm glad you're awake.You had us all worried.That was a very, bold thing you did. I could have been killed and- " Kyle lifted a hand, shaking his head.
"Forget it.It's nothing. You needed my help, and that's what you got." Leo nodded her head a moment, before leaning across the bed, wrapping her arms about his middle, she embraced him tightly, exhaling slowly. "Thank you."
"Ah-em." For a moment, Kyle got the chance to enjoy the hug, hugging her back weakly, he smiled, almost blushing when she pressed a kiss to his cheek. Turning, however.She smiled, watching as Kurt stepped inside the med-lab, looking toward Kyle, then Leo with a nod. "You ready to go?" Leo glanced toward Kyle, mouthing a silent thank you, he shook his head, waving her off. She nodded to Kurt. "Definitely.I'm starved." She walked across the room, toward Kurt, before she raised her brows, turning toward Kyle. "We're just going out for something to eat. Get out of here for a bit.I'll be back in a little while, I'll come back and see how you're holding up, if you like." Kyle looked a little surprised, before he spoke. "You don't have to check in with me.Go eat, I'm not going anywhere." Leo nodded her head, shoving her hands into the pockets of her jeans as she followed Kurt out the medlab door.
