Neep! I'm currently looking for the rest of Excalibur at Muses'R'Us. Meggan can handle the synopsis.
Meggan: Yay! Um, where's the script?
Brian: *hides it behind his back and whistles innocently*
Kurt: Brian, you wouldn't happen to know would you?
Brian: Of course not.
Meggan: I guess I'll have to do it without one...
Kurt: *teleports and grabs the script then teleports it to Meggan*
Meggan: Oh! Yay! Thanks Kurt! *hugs him*
Brian: *glares* The synopsis Meggan.
Meggan: Oh yeah! Ahem. Talia, upset by her friends death, nearly kills one of her teammates during supper. She realizes what she's done and disappears. Cal goes up to comfort her and Chris is taken to the infirmary by Mik and Marie.
"Come on Tal, I've done that loads of times. Maybe not with a sword, but still, I've threatened to melt peoples skulls before." I said. She was in a terrible mood and I knew it. She kept going back over her 'if only's' and I knew that was trouble. I'd rather have been in her room than outside her door.
"But I'm not supposed to! I'm supposed to be a good example!" She was choking on her tears, but the force of the statement was still there.
"Hey, does anyone expect you to be perfect? I don't." I replied.
"Yes! I expect me to be at least decent enough not to nearly kill my friends at the dinner table!*" She replied.
*see last chapter
"Look, I know how to cheer you up. Let's go see what Barbie and Ken are doing, or talk to Blitz or something." Barbie and Ken were our favourite prank receivers also known as Jean and Scott Summers. Blitz was the closest thing Talia would let herself have to a boyfriend. She kept getting annoyed because she thought it would end up like the Summers' if she got close to anyone.
She sniffled. "Blitz is here?"
"I came as soon as I heard." he said, his boots clicking lightly as he nearly ran down the corridor. He motioned for me to go and so I did. Only Talia knew his identity and even I didn't because he had natural mental sheilding.
*****************************
"Is she going to be okay?" Tom asked. He was the only one left at the table.
"Blitz is with her. Man I wish I knew his secret." I said.
"You mean his identity? I'm with you on this. It's so unnerving not to be able to read somebody's thoughts. Like turning off a radio you've been listening to all your life." Tom replied.
"How have you been taking it?" I asked.
He sighed. "To tell the truth, I haven't been taking it. I just keep thinking that she's still alive and whatever. Talia might be right considering some of the messed up stuff in our family. Mom had a friend who used to call us the Euro-Summers'." He smiled a bit.
"Weird stuff's happened?" I asked.
"My uncle Brian was lost in the time stream for the longest time. Uncle Jamie has the ability to bend reality- oh man! What's he going to say when he finds out? We haven't been able to get a hold of him." Tom said, pushing away from the table enough to nearly tip the chair he was on. He would have fallen if not for his telekinesis.
"I can try. Where do you think he is?" I asked.
"Somewhere on the planet. That's all I know." Tom replied.
I scanned for Jamie's psi-waves. Everyones were unique and his were even more so because he saw the world as a tiny speck, humanity as a smaller speck, himself as an even smaller speck. He had real trouble believing that things mattered/existed, and that made his signature stick out like a sore thumb.
Who? Came a cautious psionic reply.
It's Cal. Calisto? You know, Talia's friend. I replied.
Didn't I ask you guys not to bug me? He replied, a little angry and a lot worried.
Brittany's dead. So is Brian. We couldn't get a hold of you any other way. I'm really sorry. I said. He appeared with Amanda infront of us in less time than it takes to blink.
"Brittany's dead?" He asked, eyes wide. He put a hand on my shoulder. "Tell me this is a stupid prank you guys are playing and she'll jump out and tell me to lighten up." He practically begged.
I looked away. How could I say this straight to his face. The emotions he had were overwhelming. I couldn't stand all the strain of syphoning them, but I did manage to make them bearable. "I- She really is-" I faltered.
"She really is dead. I looked for her myself. She's dead." Tom said.
Gaea peeked out around Amanda's legs. "Brinny go bye bye?" she asked. She wasn't old enough to pronounce some things yet. Jamie knelt down and scooped his daughter up.
"We think she's dead sweetie." he said. He had long since explained to her what death meant, since he couldn't block her powers.
"Brinny coming back soon." she said. She didn't ask, just told us.
"What?" Jamie asked.
"Brinny go through shiny pretty thingie. Brinny go pretty place. Pretty place send Brinny to icky red place." Gaea replied.
"She's in hell?! What did she do to deserve that?" Jamie was momentarily to shocked to even think. He looked Gaea straight in the eye. "Do you know why they sent her to the icky red place?"
"They made Brinny kill Uncie Brian. He go bye bye too." she replied.
Wahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! You who read both fics know what's going on! Fun fun!
