Elizabeth stood against the wall, staring at the infirmary. Brian leaned on his side, against the wall, facing Elizabeth, with his arms crossed over his chest. Rogue was sitting against the wall, staring at the doors to the infirmary. "So, the police said they'll call us if they need any more information about the accident." Brian told his sister.
Elizabeth had barely paid attention to what he had told her. She was too worried about Nathan's condition. Brian let out a heavy sigh, and they all turned their attention towards the doors as they opened. Charles came out, facing them, "He's fallen into a coma. Apparently, his telepathy has mutated too rapidly for his body to handle. It's reached far beyond my own." He sadly told them.
Elizabeth walked towards him, "So, what? There's nothing you can do?" She snapped.
"I'm sorry, Elizabeth. But, Nathan's fate will have to lie in the hands of someone much stronger than myself." He sighed.
Elizabeth looked into the infirmary, and rushed past Charles, as she saw Nathan lying in an infirmary bed. Electrodes were placed against his temples that were hooked up to a brainwave monitor. Jean stood at the bedside, staring down at him. She looked up at Elizabeth, as Elizabeth inched towards the bed. Elizabeth crawled onto the bed, lying at Nathan's side, hugging onto him, "Please, wake up, luv." She sighed.
Jean closed her eyes, and shook her head, as she turned and walked out of the room. Brian glared into the room from the doorway. He grabbed onto Jean's arm, as she attempted to brush past him, "What's going on, Red?" He asked her.
Jean placed her hands to the temples of her head, and sighed, "Look, Brian, I'm tired. I need to get some sleep." She said.
Brian raised an eyebrow suspiciously at her, as she walked away from him. Hank typed into the EKG monitor, and looked at Elizabeth, who still lied at Nathan's side, hugging onto him. Brian walked into the room, "Betts, I think I know someone that can help him." He lightly said.
Elizabeth turned, looking at him, with a look of hope on her face, "What? Who?"
"Well, remember Aunt Roma?" He asked, as he sat in the chair on the other side of the bed.
Elizabeth lied her head on Nathan's chest, looking at her twin. "What about her?"
"I remember Dad telling me that she too was a mutant. She has the power to heal and resurrect." He told her. "If I call mum, and ask where we can get a hold of her, maybe she can help Nathan." He explained.
Hank looked at Elizabeth, "It's worth a shot, my lady. We seem to have no other options." He spoke up.
Elizabeth sighed, "Call mum, Brian."
*~*~*~*
Jean stared into the lit fire in the fireplace of the Study. Charles sat in his wheelchair, behind her, facing her with concern. She placed her hand to her mouth in thought, crossing her other arm across her stomach. She turned to Charles, "How can that be, Professor? How could Nathan possibly be me and Scott's son?" She asked him.
"Well, from what I saw, Nathan has repressed memories. Due to the power of his telepathy, I was able to look back into memories of him as an infant. Apparently, Scott, from an alternate dimension of time, had Nathan with him as an infant; running from someone, or something. Somehow, Nathan had slipped through a portal, and was found here, in our time, by his current parents." Charles explained, "However, what I looked at was very vague. I would need more information to piece this together." He sighed.
Jean shook her head, and sat into a chair next to Charles' wheelchair, "Are we going to tell him and Scott?" She asked.
Charles placed his chin onto his folded hands, "Well, I don't think it would be a good idea to tell them both just yet. We'll know when the time is right." He said.
"Professor!" They heard from the now opened door.
Charles and Jean turned to the doorway, seeing Elizabeth standing there, staring at them, with a look of hope on her face, "Professor. My mother knows someone who can help Nathan!" She panted from the running she had done.
Charles turned his wheelchair to face her, "Your aunt." He said, after sensing her thoughts.
Elizabeth nodded frantically. "However, Brian and I would need to make a trip to England to get her. We need to borrow the Velocity." She told him.
"Take Logan and Remy with you, Elizabeth." Charles said.
Elizabeth nodded frantically again, and turned, running down the hallway. "Her aunt?" Jean asked Charles.
Charles turned to look at the young red headed mutant, "Her aunt has the power to heal and resurrect. However, I have a feeling they will need to go further than England to retrieve her." He sighed.
*~*~*~*
Elizabeth kissed Nathan on the forehead, and looked down at him, "I'll be back, luv. We'll pull you out of this. I swear it." She told him.
"Come on, Betts, we're loadin' up." Logan told her from the doorway.
Elizabeth rubbed Nathan's forehead, and turned, following Logan out of the infirmary.
*~*~*~*
Brian stood in front of the Velocity, as Logan, Elizabeth, and Remy made their way towards him. Rogue followed Remy. "We actually have to travel just a tad further than England." Brian winced, as he told them.
"Wait, whatya mean?" Logan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well, my mum said that Roma is still in the dimension my father's from. But, we shouldn't be long." Brian smiled.
Logan shook his head, and walked onto the helicopter. "Just start movin' kid." He snapped.
Brian and Elizabeth looked at each other, shrugging, as they rushed onto the helicopter. Remy turned to look at Rogue, "Well, looks like my trip's gonna be longer than expected, petite." He smiled.
Rogue hugged him, "Just be careful, Gumbo. Don't start actin' all cocky." She sighed.
Remy kissed the top of her head, "Don't worry, chere. I'll bring you back a souvenir." He grinned.
They pulled away from each other, as he grabbed onto her gloved hand. He walked away from her, towards the helicopter, finally letting go of her hand. He then turned, rushing onto the aircraft. Rogue crossed her arms, as she watched the blades start up, and the ceiling above them splitting open. She saw Remy look at her through the window. She smiled, kissing her fingers, and pointing them towards him. He winked, and waved at her, before disappearing to sit in his seat.
*~*~*~*
Elizabeth buckled in her seat belt, in the co-pilot seat. Logan flicked onto the switches in front of him, as he sat in the pilot's seat. Brian and Remy sat in the seats behind them, buckling their seat belts. "I've logged the information of our flight into the FAA database." Elizabeth told Logan.
"Good, we ready to roll?" He said, grabbing onto the wheel in front of him.
Elizabeth leaned forward, typing into the system in front of her. "Coordinates have been placed, ready to head for Braddock Manor, England." She smiled.
"Let's go." Logan smirked, as they felt the helicopter lift up.
"So, are you sure your aunt's gonna be able to help out?" Remy asked.
Brian looked at him, raising an eyebrow, "Scared of flying, Cajun?" He smiled.
Remy shook his head, staring at him, "No, mon ami. I'm just scared of this little dimension you and Betts speak of!" He snapped.
"Oh, Remy, don't worry. Brian and I have been there before. It's actually a beautiful world. We just go in, get my aunt, and leave." Elizabeth smiled.
