De-Briefing & First Aid

[Aqua]

Heather turned her head as she heard the cup, Torri held earlier, drop to the floor. She frowned, assuming that her friend was upset and trying to not show it; she was good at that considering her power. Heather whispered softly, hoping Torri was still next to her. "Don't worry Tor," she said with a smile. "He is just hard on you because he is trying to help you. He wants us all to learn and grow as soon as possible. The world out there isn't really tolerant yet toward us." She hoped her words would make her friend realize that it wasn't her fault.

[Cyclops]

Looking around the room he saw the faces tired and strained and raised his hands to quite everyone. "You know there's some less than satisfactory items here as well, but I think we'll end this on a positive note. Let me just say again teamwork is paramount, and real good effort for your first time in there."

He smiled at them all adding "Those of you who Beast has told to remain please do and the rest of you are turned loose, elevator's that end of the hall" he pointed the proper direction. "Hot showers and plenty of rest...Oh, and Christmas is upon us so anybody who wants to help decorate can do so, It's a big place so any help is appreciated....you're free to go."

As the room started to come alive with movement from those present, and the air filled with everyone talking to each other he spoke again loudly. " I'll see all the teachers in my office in half an hour and we'll go over some more things in detail. " Cyclops made his way out past the students and teachers.

[Torri]

Torri ignored Aqua nd with the permission from the headmaster, stood angrily from the floor, pushing herself from the wall and walking over toward the hallway. She heard her own feet against the floor as she started running down it, trying to reach the elevators as fast as she could move. Looking down at her hand, Torri saw it haze through a tint of colour, but nothing dramatically expressing. She was to stay like this for a long time, but right now, all she cared about was getting away, finding herself away from everyone and expecially her teachers. After all, she was the disapointing student.

[Aqua]

Heather smiled wider, extatic that she was able to finally welcome a warm shower. She hopped of the bed, only to regret how quickly she did it. She felt a wave of dizzyness spread over her and she gripped the bed, to prevent her from falling. She closed her eyes, hoping it would keep her stable.

[Ember]

Aideen watched as everyone assembled out of the room. She needed to be checked further by Beast which she wasn't looking forward to. She hated doctors and most of all she hated the way she must look. Her face was dirty and there was sand in her hair. Not to mention her ribs where killing her and her stomach was throbbing from the bruising. But she wasn't going to complain. She can deal with it, its not like she its anything serious for the most part. She was bleeding much and had no deep wounds. Hell she might need a bit of help to her room but she was fine. She was okay.

Aideen looked at Beast and then back at Nightcrawler wondering if he was leaving. She didn't want him to but understood if he had to. Besides she must start getting used to others. Eventually she wont feel so edgy with others and hopefully will be relaxed and trusting as she was with Nightcrawler. She sighed not looking forward to having her stomach examined.

[Fleet]

He just grumbled and shook his head as he got corrected by Nightcrawler. Laying his head back once again. He couldnt help it , if that was how he dealt with stress. After he walked away, Jumper turned his head and looked ot Ember and winked. "Get some rest. Ill leave ya be. But have no doubt. I am very sure of myself. And dont ever give up easy."

He heard Ripple and shook his head. "Hey Ripple, stop putting yourself down. You got me out of those tentacles before they broke me in half, and you got to the switch and saved everyone an dwon the challenge. So if you think that makes you useless, You really dont give yourself enough credit."

[Colossus]

Looking to Frostbite he smiled softly, nodding his head. "Its a pleasure to meet you. I am Colossus. We will all be meeting shortly to get to know each other." Reaching out and patting her shoulder lightly.

Then hearing Emma's words to him his jaw dropped open. He was about to shout back but bit his tongue in front of the students. He had though Emma had enough respect for him not to talk down to him like that and berate him in front of the students, especially after such a trying day for them. As she left he looked to Cyclops and shook his head. His smile gone as he left the room.

[Nightcrawler]

'Good job Jumper!" Nightcrawler patted him on his back as Kyle walked over to talk with Ripple. Leaning down to talk with Ember he said "You vill be back on your feet in no-time flat...I promise you. He himself was an EMT and had done enough first aid on his fellow X-Men over the years to know when something looked serious.

"Just some tests- some pictures of your ribs...a few hours here und zhen you'll be able to leave. Just promise me you vill take it easy over zhe Christmas weekend...maybe until after New Years?" He wasn't sure what her prognosis would be but wanted her to be ready for some bedrest if it came to that. Regardless, he remained hopeful and upbeat, it was his nature- even when scolding Jumper he still seemed upbeat about things.

[Ember]

Aideen nodded her head still not saying anything. She was too annoyed and tired to speak. Either way though she was nervous about how bruised her midsection was. She had been jerked around so much after it was already bruised. But Aideen heard good things about Beast and knew he was more than capable enough to handle her. She was only nervous a bit about what he would say. What if she wasn't allowed to run or exercise anymore? She was so careful on keeping herself in shape and this would just ruin it. But who was she kidding, Aideen knew she was weak. She could barely walk and didn't want to even think about what her journey to the dorms would be like. It would take her hours to get up there, but hell she'll manage.

Aideen turned her liquid dark eyes up to Nightcrawler, biting her lip lightly. She hated being taken care of like this and most of all she hated how she was still so uncomfortable around seemingly everyone. But she trusted Nightcrawler's word and calmed a bit at that. Now to get this over with and begin her journey to her bed.

[Nightcrawler]

"Are you getting up?" he asked Ember "I zhought you vould be remaining here for zhose tests. Jumper, I'm sure, vill be staying for tests and vill be more zhan happy to keep you company." He smirked at her, knowing how Jumper couldn't wait for him to leave. "I'll be checking on you soon, for now just try und rest some, your body needs to be still."

He started to leave but halted saying "I mean it Ember, you must get better- I feel as zhough you vill be anchoring zhis team, und zhat means I need you healthy!" Nightcrawler walked to the door hollering to Beast "Take care uf my team Hank, I trust you vill."

[Fleet]

Shaking his head as he sat up and pulled off his dirty shirt, laying it down beside the bed. Then laying back and just enjoying the rest. "I am not going anywhere. My head is killing me, and besides, who else would keep these lovely ladies company?" He smirked as he lay back again, letting his bare chest cool down.

Looking over to Ember and smiling still. "You might as well enjoy the break and relax. Besides the company isnt that bad, is it?" He closed his eyes and tried to let his body settle in.

[Ember]

Aideen was a bit saddened at Nightcrawler's departure. She liked how calm and at ease she felt with him. But then again it would be unfair of her to expect him to stick around just because she was comfortable with him. Then again she was used to being on her own. Aideen sighed as she looked over at Beast and fidgeted slightly knowing she was going to have to take off her shirt for inspection. At least she wore a sports bra.

Maybe later she could catch up on some reading. Whenever she got to her room. She nodded slightly at Jumper, still to annoyed by the report to smile or say anything. She just wanted to get this over with.

[BEAST]

"Most assuredly Kurt, they are in the best of hands." Beast called back to Nightcrawler as he departed. Walking first to Ember he asked "So let's just see what wicked damage was done to you in there..." he gently placed his hand on her abdomen testing by the sensitivity and amount of pressure.

"Hmmm... we'll need some pictures of that." He said as he watched her face contort in pain at his touch. "Lay still now..." he walked over and retrieved a scanning device on wheels that looked like a couple of chrome rods attached to a podium with a display screen. He clamped the device to the side of her bed as she lay there.

"You wont feel a thing." He comforted her as he activated the scanner. The rods traced up and down the length of her body showing the doctor all that was inside of her. "Oh....hmmmm...ah, yes...." he made comments as he looked intently at the display screen.

[Ember]

Aideen did her best to keep her face neutral and expressionless as Beast checked her over, scolding herself when she winced a bit as he checked her. Aideen was glad she wouldn't have to take off her shirt to reveal the bruises. She stiffened a bit as the rods traced up her athletic bruised form and waited patiently as Beast checked the scanner. She hoped her activity wouldn't be too limited. She needed to stay in shape.

[BEAST]

"Well, young woman it would appear you are in luck. It's only some deep bruising, I don't doubt you will be quite sore for some several days to come. I want you to go and soak in a hot bath for a while and no rough stuff for at least two weeks, that means light duty for you- no bed rest, but i want you to soak in the tub at least once a day- I'll see you back here next week."

He began to disconnect the scanner from the bed and took it over to attach it to Aqua's bed as she would need some looking after as well. 'Head trauma, that does not bode very well for this pretty young girl' he thought. "It is merely a scanning device, young lady so please don't let it frighten you" he said to Aqua.
