He'd known things were changing, he just hadn't expected it to happen
so quickly. Xavier was lying in critical condition in the room over; the
school's guardians were once again all gone, out to stop Magneto, who still
had Rogue. He hadn't been able to believe it, Xavier had let Magneto keep
Rogue. It was all coming apart before his eyes. That wasn't exactly true,
he still had the utmost trust in the X-men. But . . .
His feet slid beneath him and he cursed, grabbing onto the edge of the examination table. He was cleaning up the mess Senator Kelly had left behind. It was really rather morbid. Standing in water that had been a person. He was used to strange damage but this was . . . disturbing. All this had been a person. A person he really despised but that wasn't so important now that he was a . . . puddle.
His last days must have been some roller coaster ride. Going from being so completely anti-mutant to becoming one. Fred couldn't imagine it. But then he couldn't have imagined a lot of the things that had happened at this school before he started working here.
He realized with a start that he was staring off into space. Thinking about all he'd gone through here and how it really wasn't that much especially compared to what he could have been dealing with, what most of the students dealt with on a daily basis. Ostracized from the regular world. Magneto was trying to change that. Fred could appreciate where he was coming from, he understood that he wanted to "save" his kind. But being a regular human himself Fred couldn't really get behind what Magneto was doing, which was why he was glad Xavier was there to counter him every step of the way. He was saddened that the rest of the world didn't understand the power struggles that were going on. 'No mutant is a good mutant,' kind of stuff. If things went wrong tonight there could be a lot more people thinking that.
He was feeling useless again. He really hated the feeling, even more so when he wasn't even sure how he'd help if he could.
Senator Kelly was just about gone from the lab's floor, swiping at one last spot he grabbed the bucket and left the lab. Heading back up to the main floor where his space was. He was going to sit there until the X- men came home. He was going to sit and wait and hope that everything went alright. It was as much as he could do.
