Cleaning Up a Big Mess

[BEAST]

Dr. Hank McCoy sighed as he looked at the children in the Med lab. He looked at the clipboard of his recordings that he kept nearby and looked down at the names of the patients he had so far.

Lurai Garnier- Codename: Puppy~Love

He looked over at the sleeping wolf girl and shook his head. He didn't normally perform that type of procedures on any of the students unless there was no other way or they had no time to wait for a healer or someone who specializes in these cases. But unfortunately time was a large factor here and he didn't want the young girl to be in worse shape than she already was. Hank jotted down some notes for him to ask Scott to contact a healer that could give the girl much better help than he could. He did, of course want the best care possible for his students

Checking his clipboard again, Hank looked down at the notes he had for the patient before Puppy~Love.

Leah Okami- Codename: Katana

As yes she had some nasty burns as well. He had done all he could for now, but still felt she needed a healer to check her over. He, at least, would want to be sure that everything was intact and ready to heal.
Thankfully, when Hank turned his head to look over at the girl she was sound asleep. Ah sleep. It's a wonderful thing to be lost in one's dreams and when the physical body is at rest, it enables it to heal better. For now, the new student Leah who must have had a very rough introduction to the school will be alright.

Hank looked back down at his notes and saw that the next name on his list was the ice girl. She was next for a checkup.

Lorelai Kavanagh- Codename: Frostbite

Hank walked over to the girl and the boy standing next to her, looking quite eager to be near her. "Ah yes Lorelai, nice to see you again, even though present conditions are not ideal," he said with a small smile. "She's one of yours, am I right Piotr?" he asked the large man standing by him. He smiled kindly at Lorelai, wanting to make her feel comfortable but at the same time he needed to do his job as best as he could. "Oh my stars and garters, you have been through quite an ordeal I see," Hank said as he looked at the harsh burns on her shoulders. They were clearly visible on her arms as well as her shoulders. Her midsection had a particularly nasty looking burn.

Very carefully, Hank took her arms gingerly in his over-sized furry hands and inspected the burns. "Fire, though useful, gives one a very unpleasant experience when in direct contact. Unless of course you have the gift to be one with fire," he said as he jotted down notes on the severity of her burns.

He was quite thankful the aftereffects of the attack was not as severe as it could have been. Hank had enough of those little plastic dancing souvenirs to know when something was the matter with them. He was quite grateful that he caught it and managed to at least partially disassemble it. Jumper took it from him at a good time though, who knows where they would be had they waited much longer.

Hank looked to the large boy who he believed was called Diesel next to Lorelai, who looked fine though a bit disheveled. "Would you please fetch me the burn ointment? It is right over there next to the bed with the sleeping dark haired girl," he asked him before he turned back to Lorelai and inspected the bruises on her legs. Hank knew he had quite a job ahead of him with all the other injured students who would be filing in soon.

Aleksey walked back into the med-lab, this time with a flower, he layed it next to Leah's bed then walked up to the large blue man. "Is there anything I could do to help?"

[BEAST]

Dr. McCoy looked up from his notes at the large dragon boy. He saw him in there earlier when Nightcrawler teleported him but he must have slipped out since then. "Well as of right now no, but if you like you can watch over Ms. Okami for me. In case she wakes up or you notice a change in her peacefulness, please let me know," he said to the student before he turned back to Lorelai and continued inspecting her burns.

After the large attack in the courtyard, Heather needed to regain her strength and wash off the sweat, fear, anger and worry away. She went straight to her room, knowing that later she would be able to speak to Cyclops about what had just happened.

She burst into tears. She wasn't ready for any of this. She saw everyone around her nearly die. Actually die! Her new home, the one place she felt safe was attacked and it could possibly happen again. She didn't know what to do. After today, it was a fact that no where was a safe place for a mutant. She thought of home and how it use to be. How every Sunday she would have brunch with her parents and just enjoy the day by playing football with her father or showing her mother her new designs. How she would see her friends and just have fun being a teenager. Her new life was so different and it happened too fast to be able to adapt to the transition.

Heather sobbed in her pillow, wishing everything was back to normal. At that moment she had no desire to be a mutant. She wanted to go home and just be Heather McCarthy again. But she knew that would never happen. It was illogical and unrealistic.

After several minutes she got herself up and washed her face. Her eyes were red and puffy Freon the tears she shed. Tired of doing nothing and just crying, she stripped off her clothing and took a quick but soothing shower. She washed her long red and blond hair and body. Afterward she felt refreshed and better than before. She went to the drawer and picked out a loose, black, "Beatles" t-shirt and fitted dark blue jeans with black flip flops. She headed down to the Med Lab immediately to see if everyone was OK and if she could be of any help.

She walked in and winced. "Hi Beast. How is everyone," she asked as she skimmed the people in the room.

Aleksey was sitting in a chair near Leah's bed then looked at the girl who just walked in, he recognized her. She was the last person he saw before Pyro knocked him out. Aleksey got up and walked to her, "Hey" he said. "Are you doing ok? sorry i couldn't help earlier..."

[Aqua]

Heather smiled at the dragon man she remembered from the battle. "I'm fine," she said warmly. "And you did help me. More than you thought. I'm sorry I couldn't return the favor." She thought of when she attempted to pull him into the mansion. His weight however was too much for her to handle alone. She stroked her loose hair out of her face and looked to Lorelai. She was hurt pretty bad and couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Ian was there, not a big surprise. It didn't seem Heather even had a chance with him anymore. It looked like he and Lorelai were tied to the hip now, and she needed to accept that no matter how much it hurt. She walked over to Lorelai and winced to Ian. "How is she doing?" she asked at concerned as possible.

As much as she hated to admit, Lorelai was a trooper and there when needed.

[Guardian]

Aleksey walked back to his seat then looked at Ian and remembered him laying on the ground with his leg mutalated and thought 'wow they must really have a good medical facility here' since his leg looked perfectly fine now.

[Frostbite]

Lorelai was trying to lie comfortably though she heard voices all around, but one was most dominant, as she guessed that he must be in charge of the whole med lab. She looked to him silently as he came to her next after attending to other students. She returned his smile with a weak one and winced when he lifted her arms, even though he did it gently. It seemed now that she had stopped moving around all the rest of the pain had come flooding in.

Hearing him tell Ian to get some stuff for burns, she turned her head away and groaned a little, closing her eyes. She felt like all she wanted right then was to rest, and rest, and rest. However they opened a little, slightly confused as she heard Heather near her, asking if she was okay. It wasn't something she was expecting, so she turned her head slightly to glance at her and give her a little smile.

[Puppy~Love]

Lurai's eyes slowly opened as she could feel her body no longer numb. She lifted her hand to her face and squeezed it slightly, pumping circulation back into it. She stared at it before clenching it into a fist. She leaned forward, moving into an up right position, causing her to wince slightly at the pain in her stomach. The place where the incision had occurred was still slightly bruised and soar. Her burns though had cleaned quite nicely. She'd done a good job of that at least.

She swung her legs to the side of her bed and sat on the edge. Every part of her body was still very sensitive but in all she felt much better and it looked to be that her fever had gone down a whole lot. She pushed with her arms and placed her feet on the ground as she slid from the bed with a rather less dramatic fashion than would be expected if she was truly healed. She wobbled slightly before pushing herself up. She pulled up her baggy shirt to look at the stitches on her stomach. She was thankful to be okay, but truth was she wanted to train, but even she knew she needed some more time to rest. She walked over to the bed with the blue girl in it. The blond girl there that she'd heard about in passing in the hall and from the big annoying fellow that was so concentrated on the 'blue' that the blond looked unnoticed. "Scuse me" she said in her Irish drawl. "I heard you're into design, do you have a needle and thread I could borrow?"

Ian watched Beast as he looked Lorelai over. Though he was usually very easygoing and tried to remain cheerful for everyone's sake, he was a bit worried for the sake of Lorelai just cause she got it pretty bad and mainly because he was unconscious and couldn't get her out of there himself. That made him feel pretty cruddy. He tried to be there for all his classmates, hell he did a pretty okay job distracting that Tiger dude from Spitfire so she could get herself together and form a plan. And she got out alive and seemingly okay. He did wonder what had happened for her to be able to escape that big Tiger dude. He didn't look like someone who gives up his target easily.

When Beast gave the request to grab the burn ointment, Ian saluted him and winked at Lorelai. "Right sir I got you," he said and went over to where the dragon guy sat next to the new girl. He grabbed the large jar and brought it over to Beast.

When he saw that Heather had arrived he smiled down at her. "Hey there Blondie. You were radical out there babe. Nice move with shoving water down that psycho blue chick's throat," Ian said proudly and put his arm around her giving her a side hug.

"And as for Pipsqueek here, well I guess we'll get the full report from Beast. But hey look at that, all those burns and still a smile on her face," he said winking at Lorelai as Beast checked her over.

[Aqua]

Heather smiled when Ian acknowledged her with his side hug. She returned it and bit her lip. "Thanks," she said softly. "You weren't too bad yourself." She listened to his analysis on Lorelai and couldn't help but smirk. He was right, she was still able to keep a smile after all the pain she was in.

Heather's eye opened when she saw Lorelai respond to her question. She looked down to her, and instantly felt her anger toward her melt away. She was hurt, badly, and at the moment she needed as much rest and comfortable as possible. Heather smiled and whispered to the ice girl. "Hey," she said while biting her lip. "How are you feeling?"

For some weird reason, Heather wasn't upset with Lorelai anymore. At least in the state she was in. But that was Heather's problem. A weakness if you will. When someone she knew, even if they just met was hurt, her heart with grow more and more concern about them until they were better.

She turned to the wolf girl who asked her about a needle and thread. Heather smiled. "I guess people are talking about me huh?" she said with a smirk. "Yeah i have some up in my closet. I haven't touched them in a while..." she was surprised she hadn't sewn or sketched a new design in a while. But the fact is that she was uninspired because of all the recent events....who could blame her?

[BEAST]

Hank recognized Aqua's voice and gave her a quick smile. "Well young lady you seem in good shape. Not quite like the Danger Room out there was it? But alas that's the way the world moves," he said while still looking at Lorelai. Hmm.... not as bad for a burn from Pyro... Hank thought for Pyro usually left rather severe burns on his intended victims. "How did you come across these burns dear? Did Pyro shoot them at you?" he asked Lorelai as he jotted down some notes. "You are very lucky. Most of these burns are first degree burns and the one on your midsection looks to be a very minor second degree burn. But before I do anything I must check your heart rate," Hank said as he took the stethoscope from a drawer and put it on.

Very gently, he checked Lorelai's heart rate. "Now young lady, besides feeling a bit sore, are you experiencing any dizziness or trouble breathing? Or anything else you feel I should know about?" he asked as he jotted down that her heart rate was fairly normal, which was a good sign.

[Guardian]

Very curious Aleksey got up from where he was sitting and walked over to Ian and tapped him on the shoulder. "Hey" he said softly and whispered "What's this danger room I keep hearing about?"

[Frostbite]

Lorelai kept her small smile as she looked from Heather to Ian, and then let it fade as she looked to Beast. She looked back to Heather as she heard her whisper, and smiled lightly again. "I'm good," she said quietly, "You?" she asked, the smile turning into a bit of a playful smirk. She wasn't going to let her crap condition dull her personality.

Turning to Beast again, she slightly grimaced as she remembered how it happened. "Pyro had me trapped in a wall of fire and blocked me off from everyone else. I couldn't stand there and cower from the heat while everyone else was fighting, so I did the only thing I could think of. I jumped through it," she explained, looking away as she finished her brief explanation. "These injuries are my fault," she muttered.

[Puppy~Love]

Lurai nodded. "I'll find you later at a more suitable time. Thank you" Lurai said needing to mend her clothing. She hobbled slowly to the door the med lab a sniffed the air. She would find her way back to the outdoors using her nose. She opened the door and left the med lab with out a word. After all she did follow Dr. McCoy's rules, he said she couldn't leave until the next day. Now she was going to leave.
