Chapter 3
"What did you do" a voice angrily whispered.
"What he asked I told him what I knew, I did not actually get to finish even. Besides you were there why are you asking me? "
"Because you are the only one who knows anything about his species, what spooked him?"
A sigh "Probably me mentioning the phoenix, its, I don't know, like, like, their bogey man, or in the phoenix's case more bogey woman"
Corbin slowly began to regain consciousness. His only thought though at the moment was, what is that smell.
"Shh, you two he's waking up.
"What is that smell?" Corbin rasped.
"Um we didn't have smelling salts so we used one of Actaeon's socks. Sorry." , said Inna sheepishly. Actaeon glared at her.
"Once you are ready I will tell you of your other cousin. Then tomorrow we should take you to the X-men." Said Laura matter-of-factly.
"I'll be fine now what happened to Cal'syee" said Corbin with an almost ordering tone.
"Your cousin was accused of and charged with the murdering her mother, and father, her named was removed from her, and she is now Deathbird." Said Laura.
Corbin's face darkened "For D'ken that would have been, as you humans say three birds with one rock."
"Actually, the phrase is two birds with one stone. But I know what you are saying. You're saying your cousin was framed for her crime, by D'ken to get to the throne." Said Inna.
"Yes," said Corbin slowly.
"Well just something else we will talk to the Prof about." Said Actaeon, "tomorrow, for now we need to go to bed." She turned to Corbin, "this was an office we turned into a guest room, and you can sleep in here for the night."
"And since Act over here has a habit of finding strays so there are extra clothes for any size here, for guy's and for girl's. Sleeping clothes are in the bottom drawer."
"One of us will get you up for breakfast" said Inna.
"Good night, oh and the shower is across the hall, your still covered in goo." said Laura.
And the three girls left.
While they lied in their beds Laura worried over their new friend, Inna felt sad for him, she knew that losing one's family was hard, Actaeon wondered what he must feel being so far from home. As for Corbin, well sleep did not come easily that night.
