Oni woke up in the infirmary. He looked around and saw Professor Xavier. "What happened? Why does my head hurt so much." He saw flashes of what happened and then he remembered what he did to Jean. He sat up quickly and looked around. "Jean... Oh God, what did I do?"
Professor Xavier frowned and looked to him, "Jean's alright... You didn't hurt her, calm down. Do you remembered what happened?"
Oni nodded slowly. "What was that? I remembered being hit by... No, that was a dream... or was it? What... why does my head hurt so much?"
Professor Xavier nodded. "I'm not sure but I have a feeling that it had something to do with your past. I think that turbulent emotions triggered this."
Oni nodded and stood up. He was feeling a bit better but his head still hurt.
Professor Xavier frowned. "I'd like to talk to you about your past I kn-.."
Oni shook his head sharply. "Not a chance. My past is just that: mine. I'm sorry but no." Oni said before he walked out.
Scott had heard a commotion from the direction of the danger room. He saw Jean and smiled before he saw her face. He knew instantly something bad had happened. "Jean, what's going on? Are you alright?" He waited for her answer knowing that she would try to fake happiness.
Jean pushed herself up and walked over to him, silently. She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around him. "Yes, I'm okay..." She said, laying her head on his chest. "I just have.. a really bad headache." She chuckled. She sighed and held him tighter. "..Just.. Something happened to Oni.. He had a nightmare.. or.. something." She tightened her eyes. "He just got scared, but.. I'm alright.. I'm okay." She repeated, taking a breath.
Scott wrapped his arms around Jean. "It must have been a bad dream if its got you this shaken up. Come on lets just go sit down." He walked arm and arm withJean and they arrived in a unoccupied living room.
Oni walked down a hallway, why did it have to happen so fast? Why did they need to know about his past so fast? He only remembered fragments of it anyway. He was so ashamed of what happened; he was afraid of parts of himself. He walked into a room and he was so deep in thought that he didn't notice Jean and Scott on the sofa. He stood in front of a window, it was dark again and he gazed up at the stars. His thoughts of the past continuing to haunt him, why was this happening now?
Jean looked to Scott, looking into his eyes. "..It was." She said, laying her head on his shoulder. She took a deep breath. Jean closed her eyes for a minute, getting comfortable in his arms. He always made her feel better, no matter what. That's why she loved him so much..
She burrowed her head in his chest and opened her eyes. She bit her lip, seeing Oni at one of the windows. She pulled her head up from Scott's shoulder and pulled herself from the sofa. She hesitantly took a step towards Oni. She didn't know how he would feel, but.. She remembered when Logan had done almost the same thing. She took another step towards him. "..It's okay." She said, breaking the silence. "..I know you didn't mean it. I'm okay, and.. I understand why you did what you did... I saw it, too."
She took yet another step closer. She wasn't scared of him, there wasn't any reason to be.
At Jean's last words his mouth dropped in shock. "Yo-you saw it?" He lowered his head as a tear escaped his right eye. "I'm truly sorry... I'm really sorry, no one is supposed to know. No one. I-I'm so sorry. I really wish you wouldn't have seen that. My memories are full of horrible things." He walked away, trying not to show that he was crying..
Jean looked to Scott for a moment and followed after him. "Please! Wait?" She called to him. She ran in front of him and looked to him. She paused and wrapped her arms around her. "..Listen, we all have our bad things in life... All of us. Some may be darker than others.. But, that doesn't define who we are." She whispered in his ear. "..No one else knows, Oni. And I won't tell anyone. I promise, alright?" She backed away and put her hand to his cheek, wiping the tears away from his eyes. "You are a good person.. And nothing will change that. All of have some dark side in us." She paused. "..Even me." She gave him a comforting smile. "You don't have to be scared anymore.. No one is ever going to hurt you again."
Oni nodded he hated the things in his past but he would not allow the past to hurt him any longer; the past was just that the past. He nodded understanding. "I understand and I'm sorry to cause so much trouble. I should go but thank you jean it helped quite a lot." He nodded and walked on wondering what to do, He probably pissed off the Professor too. He walked down the hallway wondering what to do next.
Jean nodded and walked back over to Scott. She sighed and sat back down beside him. "I don't know what else to do, Scott." She looked up to him with a soft frown on her face. She still had a headache, but... It was the one she had all day, every day. So, it was a big problem. She was used to it by now. "I can understand why Magneto wanted him.. But, why did he want Lacey? Yeah.. She has almost the same exact gift as him.. But, there has to be another reason." She sighed and smiled. "..I think we all need a vacation.. What do you think?" She kissed him.
Scott Smiled and said, "I think we all could use a vacation, but you know what they say, no rest for the wicked... As for Oni and lacey, I don't know what's going on. Why hasn't magneto made a move yet? And as for Lacey, anyone with the ability to control metal. I don't think he wants to have her for so much power means but merely just to keep her out of our hands." He smiled even though he was wondering what Jean had seen in Oni's Nightmare. What had she seen, but he knew better than to ask after what she had said to Oni...But he still wanted to ask about it.
Jean looked to him. "..I don't know why, maybe he was waiting for their powers to resurface. I'm just glad that it happened here, and not out there." She sighed. "..I'm glad they are both here. For one, Lacey would be dead.." She paused. "..And I think Oni would be too."
