Only they can reach you

[wheesockies]

; only they can reach you You're dangerous. In the end, it doesn't matter whether you're a constant flight risk ticking time bomb or someone who's a threat to society when the moon is full or the right magic spells or demon blood enchantment is given; anyone could unluckily wind up on your business end on one bad day. Isn't it better, then, for you to just stay away and build up walls so you never hurt someone else? There is a someone else that can make all the difference, however. Somehow, they're the only person who can diffuse the bomb that is you. Maybe it's because of your shared history. Maybe they're just the only person you truly like. Whatever the case may be, there's no surprise that you've grown close to them...perhaps too close, though you may not realize depending on how aware of surroundings you are. Now, your emotions are all mixed up, and there could even be lo- No. Don't focus on that. Instead, just don't question it and only rely on them to get you through spells that make you a danger to yourself and others. Whether they're keeping you at bay, you're having a calm moment with them or battling with the idea of your feelings be known, or otherwise, you should appreciate them, your emotional walls or instability notwithstanding. Comment with your character, preferences, what side they'll be, and any other information that makes you easily tagged by new people or canon unfamiliar players. Reply to others. Play at your own discretion. Emotional, angsty, fluffy, fully romantic, ust, it's up to you.

[He gets everything set up outside, slowly, and then joins her inside.]

Not much variety, but there should be enough food for the weekend.

[loistheintrepid]

[ She manages to dig up some meals he's packed into the freezer, because microwaving is pretty much the only culinary skill in her repertoire. She hands him a bottle of water, scanning him a moment. ]

You should sit. You must be exhausted.

[oldmancreed]

Yeah, maybe.

[Then he does just that, flopping on the couch with a sigh.]

[loistheintrepid]

[ She rummages around the kitchen, fixing them both a bowl of what turns out to be beef and potato stew. Sticking spoons into the bowls, she brings them to the couch and curls up next to him, reaching over to feel his forehead. ]

Feeling any better?

[oldmancreed]

[He scowls, swatting her hand away gently.]

I'm not sick, it's all that shit McCoy put into me. Did they find me or did you?

[loistheintrepid]

[ She smiles at him a little, leaning over to peck his cheek before starting to eat. ]

They did. I just had a panic attack and hauled ass the second they called.

[oldmancreed]

How did they find me?

[loistheintrepid]

[ She shrugs, chewing a moment before she answers. ]

Didn’t get the chance to ask. I just got Hank’s call. I drove here, and... I saw you.

[oldmancreed]

You'll find out for me?

[loistheintrepid]

She nods quietly, eating a little more before setting her bowl down.

[oldmancreed]

I want to know what they did to me.

[See, Lois? This is why we don't trust them. He picks up his own bowl and starts to eat as well, small spoonfuls.]

[loistheintrepid]

It wasn’t them. They were trying to help you. [ She furrows a brow, glancing down at her hands. ]

Said you were hurting yourself, trying to get out. They were worried you’d go on some sort of killing spree.

[oldmancreed]

I mean what they did after they found me. [He was pumped full of something.]

Probably would have just gone to the forest.

[loistheintrepid]

They sedated you. Probably the only thing that would get you to calm down.

[ She watches him a moment, leaning against the back of the couch with her head propped on her hand. ]

Never seen you that far gone. Even after Graydon...

[oldmancreed]

You were dead, Lois. You and the baby.

[loistheintrepid]

[ She frowns, shifting closer to him and reaching out for his hand. ]

What did you see?

[oldmancreed]

[He scowls, taking her hand.] You on the ground, covered in blood.

[loistheintrepid]

Jesus.

[ She squeezes his hand, resting her head on the back of the couch and watching him. ]

Would you remember him, if you saw him again? The guy you saw right before you blacked out?

[oldmancreed]

[He nods.] Yeah, pretty sure I could.

[loistheintrepid]

[ She nods, running her thumb over the back of his hand. ]

If you give me a description, I can get it to Xavier. See if he can use Cerebro to give us a list of matches. Someone who can create hallucinations or warp reality or... whatever the hell you saw.

[oldmancreed]

I'm not going back to them for help.

[loistheintrepid]

You don't have to anything. I'll handle it.

[ She glances down at their hands. ]

I just... I need to know who he is. So it doesn't happen again.

[oldmancreed]

I get the feeling he didn't do it on purpose.

[loistheintrepid]

[ She cocks a brow at him. ]

Huh.

Still want to find out. If he's scared and he has that amount of power, Xavier should know about him.

[oldmancreed]

Why? Why the fuck does Xavier need to know?
