Reality Bites--part 23

Ryan walked over to Victor and kissed him on the cheek. “Did you find Cara?” He asked knowing very well that she didn’t. Sabretooth didn’t smell Cara’s scent on Ryan, he smelled another man’s scent on her.

“No, I got lost and then ran into Jamar. “ Ryan knew that Victor could tell who she had talked to and wondered what game he was playing with her.

“What did you two talk about?” Victor said looking into her eyes.

He was doing his best to control his anger. Victor kept telling himself that Ryan wouldn’t do anything to hurt him and his senses told him the same. The animal in Victor Creed was angry though, he didn’t like anyone touching his woman. To his credit Victor controlled the animal in him.

“Not much...” Ryan said, trying to avoid the subject.

She didn’t want to lie to Victor but she didn’t want to betray Jamar’s trust either. She looked over to Jamar to see him fall and Logan catch him. Ryan turned to Victor.

“Can you please find Sammi? I think she should know about this.” she asked.

Victor took off into the forest following his nose after Sammi but turned around just in time to see Ryan fussing over Jamar with Logan.

Le Fae

Amanda and Jonas were talking and walking along. They were both avoiding what they were most interested in talking about. Jonas decided to break the ice and jump into the fire.

"Amanda..." He started to say, but he stopped... he guessed he was not ready after all. But Amanda saw that something was troubling him.

"You ok?" Amanda said, concerned.

Jonas tried a stifled laugh, glad he could no longer cry.

"Death sort of put thing's in perspective." he said.

He looked up at the stars and let it all out. "What if I really did die." Jonas eyes fixated, and it was almost as if they glowed as his catlike eyes reflected the moonlight.

"I... don't know, but I’m glad you’re back. That is all I care about." Amanda said feeling how sad he was.

"But... what if he is not back?" Jonas stuttered out the words, his own fear at the max. "What if I’m not really Jonas... what if he really died and I’m simply a model after him, having his memories."

Jonas concentrated on his new found magical powers, and combined with his modeling skill he controlled the ground to form a statue of himself; how he looked before his death, uniform and all.

Amanda looked at the statue and back at Jonas. He had been rather tight lipped about what he could do.

"It's really good Jonas... it's amazing." Amanda looked at Jonas.

Jonas held up his open hand and turning his hand slightly the statue moved it’s head to look up at the stars, it’s face turned into a smile.

"Yes, maybe he was... but maybe I’m not him... maybe all that is him..." he violently closed his hand and the statue turned to dry dust and shattered in the wind.

"Jonas, please..." Amanda said becoming more sad... what if he was right and Jonas was really dead, and this person was... no this WAS Jonas, she could feel it.

They stood still for a moment.

Surprisingly to both of them, Thanagar broke the silence.

"Both of you don't trust yourselves, but you have blind loyalty to each other." he laughed.

"Jonas, I'm sorry that I failed you." Amanda said out of the blue. "I'm sorry that I failed your trust in me as a leader." Amanda bit her lip, how could he act so calm about it?

Jonas grabbed Amanda by the shoulder. "HEY, never ever dare to blame yourself... I curse myself about what happened... there is no need for you to curse yourself about what happened to me, you could have done nothing to prevent it."

"I don't trust myself for what I have become, you have not changed, you are the same. There is no need for you to think you have failed yourself." Jonas said still holing her in an iron grip.

"Why don't you trust yourself..." Amanda said trying to get him to let go... she was not about to admit that she was wrong about herself, but Jonas should not blame himself for something that was her fault.

Jonas let go. "Why? Look at Me." he lifted one of his arms, exposing his gills. "I'm not supposed to have gills. This is not me, look at my eyes."

"I'm not human any more!" Jonas yelled, and in his wrath, caused the ground around them to almost boil.

Admiral

In the medlab, Logan, Beast, and Ryan huddle around Jamar.

"How's the kid doing Hank?"

"It's rocky... if things do not change. . ." Beast trails off as Sammi walks into the room followed by the others.

The sound of the life monitor wails a flatline for several seconds before beeping once again.

*****

Even the full assembly of Vision-X, Gen-X, and the X-men pales in comparison with the crowd gathering within Jamar's mind.

Zekk::Jamar!::

Davie::jaY MaR?::

Donnavon::JAMAR!?::

Carl::J-Man!!?::

The group continues to grow, each calling to Jamar at the same time in their own way. Some Jamar knows, others he does not... while yet others stay hidden in the shadows.

/Alright I hear ya. Give me a break, eh!/ Jamar's voice says faintly to the host of beings.

Zekk is the first to speak up, quieting the throng.

Zekk::HEY people, quiet down. All the talk is just given J a headache, not to mention giving me one. We have a big problem peeps. Jamar can't handle the strain. He knows it....We know it.::

Donnavon::What do you suggest Zekk? Since you are the first among us you know Jamar better.::

Carl::Zekk knows what must be done to protect the core.::

Screams of protest fill the air as a voice from the back of the crowd echoes through the assembly.

::Tell us Zekk what should we do.::

Zekk::Hello Loes I was waiting for you to join us.:: Everyone backs away from the two men as they embrace.

Zeklos::we shall become one. The addition of our added powers to the core will keep J alive.::

Davie:: What'll happen to jaY MaR hunh? From what the others say he might not ever be the same.::

Zeklos:: That's a chance we'll have ta take. I'll be there to guide him.::

*****

Jamar rises up in the bed suddenly startling everyone and begins pulling the IV and sensors from his body and throwing Ryan a glare. As he falls from the bed the form of Zeklos appears pulling him to his feet.

*****

Chaos

Sabretooth pulled Ryan closer to him protectively. He didn’t know what this kid’s problem was, but he didn’t want Ryan getting involved with it. She turned around and looked him in the eyes and he eased up on his grip. She could be even more stubborn then him at times.

Jamar was struggling with Hank about getting back in bed. Hank didn’t know what was going on but he didn’t think after what happened earlier he should be getting up like that.

“Please Jamar get back in bed Hank needs to examine you.” Sammi said eyeing the form, which stood by Jamar.

Ryan walked closer to him and whispered in his ear. Jamar started to chuckle and then lay back in bed for Hank to examine him. Ryan looked at the figure beside Jamar and walked back to Victor’s side.

”What did you say to him frail?” He asked looking at her.

“If I wanted you to know I would have said it out loud.” She said smiling at him. He gave her a hard look and then glared at Jamar. Ryan put her hand to his face and kissed him gently on the lips.

“It’s ok.” She said trying to calm him down.

~Forest~

Cara bit her lip, and swiped at the remaining tears on her face. She looked at Athena, who was trying to smile. Athena was being such a good friend to her...Cara didn't want to worry her. She sighed shakily and tried to smile back.

"Thank you Athena...I'm really glad you're here...I was so embarrassed and upset...I didn't mean to ruin the party...I feel a lot better now, though. Let's go back." She said, and stood up.

Athena smiled and put her arm around Cara's shoulder...Cara leaned her head on Athena's shoulder as they walked back to the mansion.

*****

When Cara and Athena got back to the pool, they found out from Angelo that Jamar had been rushed to the medlab.

"Oh no!!! What happened? Is he okay?" Cara asked Angelo.

Angelo shrugged.

"I've got to go see. I'll see you later Athena...thanks for talking to me!" Cara said, and she rushed into the mansion.

Bobby came and put his arm around Athena's shoulder...Athena stared after Cara with a worried look on her face. She knew there was something troubling the girl, but every time she asked Cara what was wrong, Cara always avoided the subject completely. Athena didn't know what to do. Athena rested her head on Bobby's shoulder, and let him lead her into the mansion.

*****

~Medlab~

Beast looked at all of the people in the room who were gathered around Jamar. He cleared his throat, and everyone turned to look at him. Beast sighed.

"I know all of you care about Jamar, but he really needs his rest...I must ask you all to leave for a few hours so he may do so... Please." he asked.

Sammi looked as though she was about to argue...she didn't want to leave Jamar in his time of need...Wolverine placeed his hand gently on her elbow, and Sammi looked at him for a few moments. Finally, Sammi sighed, and nodded. She walked over to Jamar, leaned over and gave him a hug.

"I'll be close by if you need me...sleep well Jamar." she said, and allowed Wolverine to lead her out of the room.

One by one, the members of Vision-X and X-Men left the room...they made Beast promise that he would alert them if anything happened at all.

Hank sighed again, and he picked up the blood sample he'd gotten from Jamar. He checked on Jamar who seemed to be asleep, then he walked out of the room and across the hall to where more of his examining equipment was.

*****

When she heard Beast close the door of the room, Cara poked her head out of the closet she was hiding in...she was still embarrassed about the explosions, and didn't want to meet a lot of people at the moment, so she waited while they left. Cara tiptoed into the med lab...she wanted to see for herself if Jamar was alright.

Cara saw that Jamar seemed to be asleep...she crept silently over to a chair in the corner of the room, and curled up in a ball. She was still wearing her swimsuit, she hadn't had time to change, but she'd found an extra lab coat in the closet and was wearing that over her suit.

She didn't want to let this guy out of her sight...she was worried about him...and she felt a connection to him. They were both ill. Nobody knew it...she never talked about it because she didn't want to worry anyone, but she had been ill most of her life. She was in constant pain...some days were better than others...but the pain was still there. It was the one constant thing in her life.

She'd gotten so sick as a child, there were people who thought she wouldn't live to see age 17...but she'd proved them wrong. Her next big goal was to live to see age 21... and after that, age 40. If she lived to see that, she'd try for age 80... but one could only think so far ahead.

Cara sighed and put her head in her hands. /There's another thing he and I have in common...he has multiple personalities...I had Arac. But did Jamar's alternate personalities ever try to kill him, or anyone else? Mine did...I'm not sure how to handle that./ Cara thought to herself.

She looked over at the sleeping Jamar, and then rubbed her forehead with both hands.

/I'd like to talk to him...but I really don't want to add my problems to his...I better just keep my mouth shut./ she thought to herself.

Cara got up out of the chair and started to walk out of the room. Zeklos stepped out of the shadows, and watched her go. He'd heard what she'd been thinking.

Rainfall

/They both worry so much about others. Their happiness had always been short lived. I will make it my duty to help them./

"Sleep well 'First One'!" Zeklos says before walking through the wall after Cara.

Cara leaves the mansion heading back toward the pool. Everyone had decided to do other things so the pool was empty. /It's not fair the way things are turning out. None of us may make it through the upcoming events./ She pauses her musings as a cough racks her body.

**You are no stranger to pain are you?**

Cara looks around before noticing a reflection cast, in the water, of a young man resembling a disembodied spirit from Star Wars.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a...close friend of Jamar's and I know he would not wish for you to be sad over him. You two are kindred spirits I think. If he had not met you in this world he surely would have met you in another."

Cara shifts her attention away from the water and to the shimmering figure beside her. The figures eyes remind her of someone she once saw in a dream. Zeklos turns away disappearing as Ryan and Creed walk up to join her.

Chaos

Cara watched as Zeklos disappeared...he really did remind her of someone...and she remembered who. The man from her dream that she thought of as her guardian angel. He'd been there for her when no one else could hear her cry. She wondered...

Then Cara noticed Ryan and Sabretooth...Ryan looked really worried.

"Cara, where were you? I looked for you but I couldn't find you...are you alright?" she asked.

Cara smiled, and gave Ryan a hug.

"I'm alright Ryan...I didn't mean to worry you. I'm a little tired though, so I'm going to go inside now and try to get some sleep...you two enjoy yourselves, okay?" Cara said, as she smiled at both Ryan and Creed.

Cara looked up at Creed...and smiled.

"You know, Mr. Creed...you may not like me much...but I'm really glad you're here. I always thought that you should have a second chance...I'm glad you've found one with Ryan. You two are really good for each other. Life really is too short...I hope you two make the most of it." Cara said...then she hugged the rather startled Sabertooth.

Cara let go, hugged Ryan again, then turned and went inside. Sabertooth was still staring after her with his jaw hanging open and his eyes wide with shock.

*****

Cara made her way to her room...she really was tired...all of the recent events were taking their toll on her. Her cough was back...she'd had it since her last bout with phnemonia, and that was over a year ago. It came and went...she was used to it, but she was really tired of being on the end of the Yo-Yo. She was glad that Leilee was somewhere else with Gambit...she didn't want her to ask questions.

/I really do hope that Jamar is okay...I want to get to know him better...things have been a little too wild around here for me to really talk to him...well, maybe tomorrow. I hope you have good dreams, Jamar.../ Cara thought sleepily as she climbed into bed and snuggled into the covers. Soon she was fast asleep.

*****

~Amanda and Jonas~

Tears were streaming down Amanda's face...the pain and misery that Jonas felt was overwhelming. How could she help him...how could she make him understand?

"Jonas, Don't say that!!! Don't you understand that being human is more than just having the body of one? The true sense of being human lies not in the shell, but in the spirit!!! Your spirit didn't die...it lives!!! You LIVE...no matter what you look like, or what happened to you...you ARE Jonas, you will always BE Jonas!" Amanda cried out.

*****

~Cara’s Room~

Cara was dreaming. In the dream, she was in her house at home, walking through the hallways. Somewhere, somehow, she could hear a man crying. He sounded like he was in so much pain...It broke her heart to hear it. She ran through the house, calling to the person who was crying, trying to find him, but she couldn't find him anywhere. Distraught, Cara fell on her hands and knees in the middle of the living room and began to cry. Then Cara woke up.

She sat upright in bed, and looked around the room. Sighing, she fell back against the pillows, and stared up at the ceiling.

There was never anyone else in the house in that dream...just the sound of the man crying. It bothered Cara greatly. She hated for anyone to be in pain...she really wished she could find him.

Cara began to sing softly to herself...it was something she did when she was having trouble sleeping in the middle of the night. The song was one of her own...she'd written it a year ago when things had gotten bad for her.

"I walk in the rain. A river of tears surrounds me, drowns me. Sorrow closes in, tries to pull me in, my head begins to spin. I walk in the rain. The thunder crashes, echoing, calling. Voicing my despair, to anyone who's there, does anybody care?

Rain, please wash away this pain I feel. Heal my heart. Help me make a new start. Rain, please wash away this pain I feel. Nourish my soul, as you'd Nourish a rose.

I walk in the rain. The lightning strikes above me, blinds me. Hot white streaks of light, penetrate the night, shadows fade from sight. I walk in the rain, with the wind, whispering around me, comforting. Singing it's song, "You've got to carry on, you've got to hold on."

Singing it's song, "You've got to carry on, you've got to be strong."

Rain, please wash away this pain I feel. Heal my heart. Help me make a new start. Rain, please wash away this pain I feel. Nourish my soul, as you'd Nourish a rose.

Rain, please wash away this pain I feel. Heal my heart. Help me make a new start. Rain, please wash away this pain I feel. Nourish my soul, as you'd Nourish a rose.

Nourish my Soul...as you'd Nourish a Rose..."

**

Cara fingers her rose necklace as she sings the last verse. The song was the reason she'd bought the necklace in the first place. For her, rain didn't mean sadness. Rain meant nourishment... healing. She always felt better when it rained. She had good childhood memories of it...back when things were better.

Cara rolled over on her side, and went back to sleep.

//**Author's note: I really did write that song, please do not use it without my permission.**//

Rainfall

“So what did you tell him?” Ryan and Sabretooth where still outside by the pool. Sabretooth was still grilling Ryan about Jamar. He was jealous and Ryan thought it was the cutest thing in the world.

“None of your business.” She said simply and turned to leave.

Sabretooth grabbed her arm and turned her around. “Don’t mess with me like this frail.”

She smiled up at him and kissed him on the lips. “I love it when you get jealous. It’s so cute. If you must know I told him that if he didn’t settle down I was going to tell you to eat him.”

He looked at her and smiled “I don’t like playing games frail and I wasn’t jealous.”

“Ok, if you say so.“

“I wasn’t.”

“I believe you. So if your not jealous I am going to check on Jamar. Ok?”

“He’s got enough people checking on him. You’re coming with me upstairs.” With that Sabretooth picked Ryan up and carried her upstairs.

Le Fae

Leilee sat up suddenly, woken from a deep sleep. Remy was lying next to her, nude with a sheet draped over his hips. Leilee blushed softly thinking about the events that had led up to this position.

But that was besides the point. Something had woken her up.....but what? Reaching over, she grabbed one of Remy's teeshirts that covered her like a nightgown. After slipping it on, she stood up and walked down the hall. Turn left.....right....another right....Stop. She stood in front of the Medlab door. This is what had called her.

She stepped into the room and looked around. Hank had fallen asleep at the computer. Again. Jamar was asleep in the bed. He looked so innocent while he slept. But she could feel the disease eating away from him. Leilee laid her hands on him and let her power destroy the abomination that had infected him. As the color increased in his face, she smiled and turned away. She had destroyed the disease, but now it was up to him to heal himself. With this thought, she turned and went back to her and Remy's room.

Leilee

~Jonas and Amanda~

Jonas stared at Amanda...she seemed so sincere, could he believe her? Could he really consider himself human, after everything that happened?

"NO!!!" Jonas shouted, and the ground boiled with his anger.

His huge bat-like wings sprouted from his shoulder blades, and he took to the air...flying as fast and as far as he could away from Amanda and the mansion.

"NO! JONAS!!!" Amanda cried out...but Jonas wouldn't listen. Amanda watched him go with tears in her eyes. She had failed him again.

Thanagar and Azmaru, the two dragon guardians, stared after Jonas as well. They turned back to Amanda.

(No, you have not failed him...he must have time absorb what you said, and to heal.) said Azmaru.

(Give him time...he will be back. Let us now return to the mansion...you must rest.) added Thanagar.

The two psycic images of the dragons disappeared back into Amanda's head, and she was left standing alone. She stared in the direction that Jonas had flown...then wiping the tears from her face, she tiredly made her way back home. HOME!? When and why exactly did she begin to consider the mansion her HOME!?

/Charles, that's why...wherever he is, I am home./ she thought.

Amanda was too tired to face anyone...and she didn't know what to tell them about Jonas. She decided to leave it for the next day, and she made her way into the mansion and up to her room using an alternate route, so she wouldn't run into anyone.

Rainfall

~Next Morning~

Xavier sat in his study watching the sun rise through his window.

/What a night. Things are growing more chaotic around here but really when are things truly calm in this house./

**I'd say never Professor.**

Xavier's eyes shift throughout the room scanning for a presence. Finally settling on the wall to his right as young man with a long black mane steps through it. He bows at the waist and stands before the Professor's desk.

"I am Zeklos."

"I'd heard from the others about you. You appear to be a totally psionic entity."

"Do not worry, I am nothing near as bad as the previous psionic entities you've come in contact with. I am the culmination of several of Jamar's personalities. I can't say I am made up of all of Jamar's subconscious because those I do not know how many personalities the 'First One' has. He could ultimately be considered the personification of chaos. I know it pains you to hear this because Jamar reminds you so much of David. But If you do not, he will suffer a much worse fate than Legion. Where as your son lost his life, Jamar may lose his soul."

"What can I..."

"I must go for now and tend to the 'First One'."

*****

In the Medlab, Jamar awakes along with a power within him that has been used by one of GenX's greatest enemies.

Chaos

Ryan got up out of bed and Victor stirred. “Where you going frail?” He said as she got up and out of bed.

“I just want to make sure he is ok. He looked so sick in bed.” She sat back down on the bed and looked into Victor’s eyes. “I don’t like feeling helpless. When I was little I was in the hospital for some kidney problems. I cried all night every night I was there. I was scared of being alone. I just want him to know that he’s not. Please Victor, you have nothing to worry about.”

Victors look softened. “Alright, I guess I can’t keep you from having guy’s for friends. Besides if you ever did do anything I would know about it.” He said gesturing his nose. “And then I would kill you both.”

“I love you too.”

Ryan left the room and made her way down to the med lab. She cracked open the door to see Jamar sitting up in bed.

“What did I tell you about being a good patient?” Ryan said walking into the room.

Jamar turns to her and doesn’t seem to recognize her at first. “What?”

“Are you ok? Do you need me wake Hank up?” She said rushing over to his side.

Le Fae

Sammi sat in th kitchen with Logan. They wear drinking coffee but neither was talking. She didn't know what to do. Jamar's personalities seemed to be taken over and she was helpless to stop them. When they were kids there were only three, but now there were more. And she could feel that some of them didn't like her and that scared her. That reminded her of Arac, what if..NO she wasn't going to think about that. She stood up and started walking out of the kitchen.

"Where you goin', darlin'?" Logan asked as she got up.

"I have to see Jamar and no one is going to stop me." She said as she left.

As she got close to the medlab she smelt Ryan was there. Sammi opened the door and saw ryan talking to Jamar who was sitting up in bed.

"Jamar, What's going on? Really. I know there's something your not telling me, so spill." Sammi said as she walked to stand next to Ryan.

~Cara's Room~

Cara woke back up...something was nagging her in the back of her mind...it took a few seconds for her to realize what it was.

Her eyes widened with shock.

"Oh my HECK!!! It's my birthday!!! I totally, totally forgot!!! I am now 18 years old!!!" Cara said in complete surprise.

She couldn't go back to sleep after that...so she got out of bed, put some clothes on and ran out of the room.

Cara wandered down the hallways of the mansion...she was bored and wanted to find something to do. She decided to locate Beast and borrow a book from him, so she walked in the direction of the medlab.

As Cara neared the medlab, she heard Sammi's voice. "...I know there's something you're not telling me, so spill."

Cara crept over to the open doorway of the medlab, and flattened herself against the wall on one side of the doorway...out of sight but within hearing distance.

She wasn't sure if she should go in or not...Jamar seemed to have all the company he needed at the moment, but she was still worried, and wanted to know what was going on.

The hair on the back of Cara's neck stood up on end, and a shiver ran down her spine. Something was wrong...she could feel it. The air around the medlab seemed to be electrified, like something was about to happen.

Rainfall

Teb woke up... she was practically on Jono.

/Oh my gosh.../ she thought to herself. She quickly got up and realized all she was wearing was a skimpy bikini.

/Oh my gosh.../ she thought again as she hurried to her room and got dressed.

/Oh my gosh/ she thought yet again as her hangover kicked in. She went to the kitchen to get some coffee and some aspirin.

When she got to the kitchen, Jono was already up making coffee. He had some Advil on the table waiting for her.

"What happened?" Teb asked.

~You got drunk and passed out on me.~ Jono replied.

"W-what about Ange?" Teb asked.

Jono handed her a cup of coffee, and gave her a thoughtful look.

"Sh**." Teb cursed herself and sat down and rubber the side of her head

TEB

~Medlab~

"Nothing's going on, Sammi so just leave it...alone okay." Jamar says as he gives Ryan a look. Sammi catches it right away.

"There is something wrong and I won't just leave it alone. You're in on this too, aren't you Ryan?"

"In on what Sammi?" Ryan says playing dumb.

Sammi can tell that she's lying and begins to let out a growl that'd make Wolverine and Sabretooth both cringe.

**Cara it's okay come on in.**

/Do ya really think I should? Sammi's about to blow./

**Don't worry about it I can handle my sis.** The image of Jamar smiling evilly creeps into her mind along with his plan of action.

"Bye sis!"

"What?!"

Jamar’s eyes ripple changing into a swirling mix of rainbow colors and Sammi vanishes from the room as Cara walks in.

"'First One' that wasn't a smart move... she'll most certainly be back with Mr. Logan. Plus you shouldn't exercise your powers in the medlab."

"Why not?"

"Just trust me okay."

Chaos

"OOHMP!" Was the only sound to escape Sammi as she landed on the ground.

She looked around and saw that she wasn't in the medlab anymore. She was outside. She got to her feet, cursing and screaming all the way.

/That's it. If you’re not going to talk to me nicely, we're doing this the hard way./ She thought as she stomped back to the house. /I wonder if he remembers that I always get what I want and right now I want answers!!/

She opened the door to the kitchen to see a very surprised Logan and Warren looking at her. She walked passed them not saying a word. When she heard Logan tell Warren that he was going to follow she turned around and said,"NO! YOU stay! I'm handling this, MY WAY!!" And she was gone.

She walked to the medlab and opened the door to see Jamar, Ryan, and Cara all talking.

"I'm sorry to break this up, but I need to talk to him, NOW!!" Sammi said through clenched teeth.

She turned to Jamar and said, "DON"T you ever do that again!!!!!!" She walked over to the vaccine and took one of the samples and said,"YOU see this? Its our only hope of not ending up like Jonas, did. If you use your powers in the medlab again, I'm gonna use mine on you!!! GOT that, Bro?"

jubilee_79

Ryan and Cara cringed as Sammi yelled at Jamar. They both could tell that Sammi was mad and glad that they were not on the receiving end of that anger. Although Ryan could tell that Sammi was more then just a little angry with her as well. Both girls tried to plea with Sammi to calm down but it didn’t look like that was going to happen.

“Look... he is my bro, and I deserve to know what is going on with him. “

“Hey how about we change the subject? When do you think we will be heading over to Sinister’s tomorrow Sammi?” Ryan said, trying to take some of the heat off of Jamar and change the mood of the room a little. Both Sammi and Jamar looked like they were going to explode.

Le Fae

If you use your powers in the medlab again, I'm gonna use mine on you!!! GOT that, Bro?"

"IS THAT A THREAT **SIS**? BECAUSE I DON'T THINK YOU CAN BACK IT UP!"

"Oh I can and then some, BUB!"

Jamar and Sammi don't even hear Ryan and Cara any more as their exchange of words grows louder and louder.

Come on guys chill out. They both shoot Ryan an icy glare.

::Let me out!!!:: Something inside Jamar's mind snaps as a loud crash is heard. ::Freedom::

*****

Sabretooth walked into the kitchen in search of Ryan. As much as it grated on his nerves to be in the same room with Logan he got some small measure of satisfaction knowing Logan was having the same feelings tenfold. /Heh Heh Heh!/

Creed pushes past Warren heading for the fridge. Upon close inspection he locates the last beer which he slashes open with his teeth spraying a good measure on Warren.

"Sorry wings." Creed says with a smirk.

"Ya better behave Creed or I'll..." Wolverine stops suddenly.

"Or you'll...what the hell?" Creed exclaims as his senses picks up the smell of blood and sounds of battle.

*****

Kyle::Wanna play sis? If so lets go.:: He screams as he leaps toward Sammi. His body rippling as it turns obsidian and he becomes razor sharp.

Cara and Ryan jump back as they realize who Jamar resembles. They scream for the two to stop but it's too late Sammi's animal side has taken over.

::Hey sis why don't we take this outside.:: They both disappear.

Chaos
