Chapter 10 Aftershock

" Amazing... simply amazing.." Dr McCoy mumbled as his eyes fell over the X-rays and other medical information." This venom spreads like nothing I've ever seen before.. it isn't e venom... it's.. it's like a disease..." Laura slowly nodded." The very reason why we take such precautions with her. We're lucky that we found her in France." Xavier gave a soft sigh." It's curable, isn't it?"

Hank frowned." I did whip up a make-shift cure earlier, but this venom... the anti venom would have to be administered fairly quickly, or else it would never work.. This venom doesn't register in the immune system, in fact, the stronger the immune system, the faster it'll kill the victim." Charles frowned at the very thought." A student with that sort of power. I hate to think what could happen if she ever fell into the wrong hands."

Laura seemed hesitant, but spoke." What group was at your door that night Xavier? Why did you come here?" Xavier closed his eyes before he answered." Magneto was there. He , Mystique, and another mutant. Mystique was the one preparing to attack, with explosions.It's their motive that we evacuated for." Hank nods slowly." But why would she attack us? We have nothing of use to her..." Xavier looked to the medical file." You were about to go to a conference about mutants Hank, and as I recall, you were going to use some of Aurelie's records at that conference." Hank slowly nodded." It's strong evidence Charles, gruesome and horrible, but it goes into our favor." Charles nodded simply." For some reason or another, I don't think they wanted us to release that information just yet. Personally, I agree with them." Hank blinked, amazed.

" If we release that information, the government will know we have access to her. Currently, as far as the government knows, she died eight years ago. If we expose her information, they won't stop until they find her." Charles said softly." She's a good child Hank. She's a good student. She doesn't even know what happened to her back there. It's best that we don't release it, for her sake."
