Chapter 15
Psychic Friend
Bobby was in a bed with white sheets, and white curtains that sorounded him with a sqaure shape. He looked down to see his pajamas and shirt still in one piece, but burn marks were visible. His injured foot and arm were newly bandaged, and he had a splitting headache. He got out of the bed and walked to one of the curtains. He found the end of the curatin and slowly pulled it open. Another hand lashed out and pulled the curtain open/
It was a woman dressed in scrubs and was carrying a clipboard. SHe was obviously a nurse and she didn't look to happy that Bobby was out of bed.
"What are you doing out of bed, sir?" She asked annoyed. "Please get back into bed."
"Where am I?" Bobby asked.
"You're in the hospital, sir," she replied grabbing his arm and leading him back to the bed. "The doctor will be with you shortly, sir."
"Why am I here?" Bobby asked again.
"The doctors will answer all of those questions, sir," she replied with her annoying voice. "Just get back in bed until then, sir."
She nearly pushed Bobby back into bed and pulled the curtain shut again. Bobby raised an eyebrow and decided to lay back. There was a reasonable answer to all of this, he knew it. But what could it be?
"GAHHH!" Bobby hissed when a sharp pain ran down his back.
He lifted up his shirt when the pain stopped throbbing to see another bandage down his back. He wasn't sure if he had been burned, cut, or what. But lately he seemed to be the one for injury. He had a total of three now, and they probably weren't his last. Bobby decided to just sit up in his bed, like he woke up.
Sooner or later someone pulled open the curtain. A woman with dark hair... so dark, yet seemingly purple hair walked in. She was very beautiful, but Bobby could tell there was something different about her. She was to... confident about entering. She didn't have to search for anything; she just seemed to know where every paper or machine in the little space was located.
"How are you feeling?" She asked Bobby, smiling. "You got quite a burn on your back."
"Why am I here?" Bobby asked.
"They found you and another girl in the mall with some burns on you," she told him. "The girl escaped though. She seemed to be able to walk through walls. She was obviously a mutant."
"Kitty," Bobby whispered to himself.
"And you," the woman asked. "Are you a mutant?"
"Just... just let me go," Bobby told her. "I want to leave. Now."
"Not until you answer the question," she told him.
"What if I am?" Bobby asked her. "What will you do then? Turn me into the cops? Kill me?"
"No," she replied. "I would help you."
"Help me what?" Bobby asked.
"Get out of this place," she replied smiling.
"Who are you?" Bobby asked.
"People here call me Doctor Braddock," she replied. "But you can call me Psylocke."
"Excuse me?" Bobby questioned, not quite comprehending what she was saying.
"Psylocke is my code name," she replied, setting her clipboard down.
"Is this some kind of hospital system to test our sanity or something?" Bobby asked her.
"No," she sighed, wondering why he wasn't catching on. "I'm a mutant also."
"Huh?" Bobby replied... trying to pretend he didnt know what she was talking about.
"Don't try and play dumb," she told him, taking a peek outside the curtains to see if anyone was coming. "I saw your face on the news. Your face isn't one that one could forget easily."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Bobby asked.
"Oh, nothing," she replied turning around. "I was just trying to give you a compliment."
"Thanks... I guess," replying to her comment. "So... what's your power?"
"Psychic abilities," she replied. "And that's what's going to get you out of here."
"Meaning?" Bobby asked.
"Meaning that I've mentally contacted one of your friends to come to your rescue, to put in simple terms," she told him.
"Who?" Bobby asked.
"She goes by the name of Bethany," she told Bobby. "She assured me her powers were sufficient enough for her to get you in and out unnoticed."
"You can't!" Bobby pleaded to her. "Then she'll take me right back to John!"
"John?" Psylocke asked.
"It's a long story, but all you need to know is that I can't go back," Bobby pleaded.
"She assured me your safety and you don't have any other options," she told him.
"Do you know Charles Xavier," Bobby asked her.
"Yes... he's and old friend," she replied, growing more interested.
"Well his school for... people like us... was attacked and...," Bobby began to tell her.
"I know," she replied, a little optimistically.
"What? Aren't you going to do anything," Bobby asked her.
"I said I was a mutant, I didn't say whose side I am on... or if I even was on one," she told him.
"Are you even a real doctor?" Bobby asked.
She shook her head no and began to reply, but she seemed to slow down and she was frozen. Bethany was there... Shortly the curtains opened once again and she was there.
"You know the routine, Bobby," she told him with her monotone voice. "Let's go quickly. John isn't being to patient. He doesn't want anything bad to happen to you, you know?"
Bobby knew there was no point in fighting back and stood up, minding his hurt foot. He was about to walk forward when Psylocke's hand lashed out and wrapped it's fingers around Bethany's neck. Bethany's eyes grew larger and one could tell she was trying to use her power to freeze Psylocke, but they weren't working.
"You should know better than to try and use a psychic power on a psychic, girl," Psylocke told her. "Now tell me everything you know about the attack on the mansion. I'll know if you're lying and if I find out, you'll see how good my abilities can affect the mind."
Bobby began to realize how much he liked Psylocke now that she was on his side...
