Consequences

I. Rich
It had taken some time, but Everett had stablized. Rich sat at Yvette's side as he looked over at Everett. He looked at her and said, "Do you think you'll be alright, my love?"

He felt her squeeze his hand and say, "In a day or so. I don't think Everett will be moving for a few days though. At least the cuts weren't deadly."

She had smiled as she said that and Rich said, "You took a big risk. If you didn't have that healing ability, you might be out of luck. I would have been lost without you." He didn't know how he would have felt if she had died. She was very important to him.

Yvette said to him in their mind link, "Just make Adrienne pay for this. We know she was the cause of this." He nodded an kissed her. It was the least he could do. He stood and left the med center.

When he got to a nearby phone, he heard Sean say, "How's she doing?"

Rich looked over and saw Sean, Emma, and Professor Xavier standing there. "She's doing fine. She'll be fine in a day or so, thanks to her fast healing. She just asked me to do one thing."

Emma just said, "Make my sister pay for the attack." He nodded. He listened as she said, "You understand that if she is in Hellfire, you have to deal with the whole Inner Circle."

Rich nodded and said, "I understand. I'm just going to have the FBI go in and look for evidence of the attempt. I doubt they will find it, but afterwords, I'll let Adrienne know that she messed with the wrong person."

Sean then said, "Rich, did ye mean what ye said about moving?"

Rich nodded again, "Two attacks in one day. I hate to say it, but their is more risk in us staying there then if we move into one of the rooms in the underground part of the school." He noticed that everyone nodded in agreement.

Xavier then said, "Well, the X-Men will help get everything down there. I must say it has been an interesting experience in meeting you. I just wish it would have been more quiet." Rich understood what Xavier meant.

Rich smiled and said, "Thank you for the help, Professor. Now, I should make that phone call. And Sean, Emma, thanks for allowing the move."

He noticed that Emma smiled as he picked up the phone, and she said, "Rich, you'll make a good leader someday. You already show signs of being a crafty businessman." He didn't want to be a leader, but he had to do his best. He then dialed the number for the FBI.

II. Monet
Monet opened her eyes when she felt someone holding her hand. She saw it was Everett doing so. He looked at her and smiled and said, "Feeling better."

She sat up and hugged him. She knew she might get in trouble with Jubilee, but she could deal with that. "I was so worried about you. I'm glad your alright."

He returned the hug and said, "I glad for that. I had some time to think about what happened. I realized how much I cared for you." She was surprised. She never knew that.

Before she could say another word, Monet heard a loud echo in the room. "Monet, are you alright?" This worried her abit.

She looked at Everett and said, "Did you hear that?"

He looked at her like she was crazy. "Hear what? Calm down Monet." She felt him hug her again, but something wasn't right.

Soon another echo passed through the room, and she got very scared. "I'm fine, Dr. McCoy. I don't know what happened though." Monet jumped up and ran for the door. It was locked. She ran for another door, finding it too was locked. She ran to a window and tried to break it, but it stayed solid. She realized what had happened. She feel to her knees and started to cry. Soon, she curled up into a ball, and kept sobbing. She felt 'Everett's' prescense, but it was no comfort. She knew what it was. She wasn't alright. Nobody was alright. She had just lost the battle of mind over fury.
