Reality Bites--part 27

~MEDLAB~

"Ack! Hey Hank...When did the Juggernaut learn to tap dance?" A very shaky and mentally whole Jamar rises up in the diagnostic bed and slips gently out onto the floor.

"I assure you Jamar that Mr. Marco has not been dancing anywhere near the mansion as of late. I recommend that you return to bed." Beast ways as he rises from the bed side of the resident Sleeping Beauty.

"I'm fine..." He stops as he sees his reflection in the mirror across the room. There had been several changes made do to his fusion with Kyle. His once black hair was now white with a bluish tint, reminding him of electric discharges. Plus his eyes were permanent swirling vortexes of rainbow energy. Shaking off the shock of his new features he continues to rise, removing the sensors from his body.

/Am I ever gonna get away from people sticking sensors to my body or what?/ he thought to himself.

Beast steps over to bar him from leaving the medlab.

/I wonder if this'll work. Well it worked in the movie./

"I'M FINE ALL I REALLY NEED IS SOME FRESH AIR!" Jamar says, letting psionic energy surge in every word.

"You're fine Jamar, all you really need is a little fresh air." Beast says, as if he were in a trance.

"I CAN GO NOW!" Jamar orders.

"You can go now."

Before leaving Jamar steps over to Cara. "Thank you!" He says as he moves the hair from her face and kisses her gently upon her lips.

-------------------------------------------------

"Where's Iceman?" Jamar asked the computer.

[[BOBBY DRAKE IS LOCATED IN HIS ROOM IN THE UPPER LEVEL.]] The computer chimed.

KNOCK! KNOCK!

A very groggy Bobby answers his door. "What is it Jamar?" Jamar places his hand on Bobby's forehead and smiles. "Sorry Bobby I guess I must have the wrong room."

"That's alright man. I guess your head’s still a little messed up." Bobby shuts the door and heads back to the comfort of his bed and lady love. Jamar walks off adrift in his own thoughts.

/That's one...If I'm gonna be any help to the others tomorrow I've gotta practice. It may be cheating, but a flash psionic teaching program is just what the doctor ordered. I wonder who should be next?/

Chaos

Leilee walked down the hall, wiping off her damp forehead with a towel. She had just had a long workout in the danger room. After that, she had gone into Kitty Pryde's old dance studio and rehearsed her pointe and tap routines. Now her body hurt, but she felt a lot calmer. All she wanted now was a hot shower, a nap and Remy. In that order. And anyone who got in her way was dead.

As she walked down the hall towards the bathroom, she passed Teb. She was going to the bathroom as well. Leilee assumed she was going to be taking a shower, since she looked sweaty and flushed as well. As Leilee passed her and slipped into the bathroom she called out, "Nice hickey, Teb."

Teb grinned. "Yours is nice, too."

Leilee grinned back and winked as she stepped into the bathroom. Now for that shower.....

~Medlab~

Sammi slowly opened her eyes, she was still tired but she had to get up and see if Amanda was alright. She turned over onto her side, then...."Ouch!" She said as she fell on the floor. She landed on her side and slowly got up to a sitting position. She rubbed her head and opened her eyes to see Hank looking at her with a huge smile on his face.

"I'm glad my pain makes you laugh." She said as she heard another laugh from behind her. She tilted her head back and saw Jonas leaning over the side of the bed laughing at her. She pointed at him and said,"Don't you start or I'll have Amanda reenact the Chicken Dance." that caused Jonas to stop laughing but he still had the goofy grin plastered on his face. She slowly got up, and almost fell down again because her head hurt, but Jonas caught her.

"Careful." He said as he got out of the bed and helped her stand.

"Thanks." She said to him. Then she turned to the professor who was sitting by Amanda and holding her hand and asked,"Is she going to be ok?"

"Yes. She just needs rest. As all of you do. You two should go to your room and get a better sleep. You all need to be fully rested for tomorrow if you’re going to defeat Sinister." He said to them.

Sammi looked around the room and saw that Jamar's bed was empty. "Where did Jamar go?" She asked Hank.

"He was better and needed some fresh air." He said.

Sammi looked at him and then at Jonas and telepathically said,"Why did that sound like a Jedi mind trick?"

"I don't know but you’re right. Let's find him." Jonas said as he put his arm around her and headed out of the medlab.

"We better find Yoda before he has my father give him the keys to the jeep."She said as they rounded the corner.

Cara stirred as she felt someone smooth the hair away from her face. She heard a somehow familiar voice say "Thank You.", then something warm and tender gently brush against her lips.

/Mmmmm...nice.../ Cara hazily thought, as a warm, fuzzy feeling came over her. She felt very happy as she drifted back to sleep.

*****

A few minutes later, Cara woke up again. She stared up at the ceiling, and sighed happily...she had dreamt that Jamar had kissed her. She smiled at the memory, stretched, then rolled over onto her stomach. Cara glanced at Jamar's bed.

/Hmm, empty...I wonder where he's gone? Wait a minute...If he's up and out of bed, then...maybe he really did kiss me!?/ Cara thought. She blushed, and her red eyes sparkled. /Cool!/ A silly grin plastered itself on her face.

Cara rolled over into a sitting position, and looked around at the other beds. She noticed that both Sammi and Jonas were also missing. She wondered where they were at.

"Hey, Hank...where did everyone go?" she called to Beast, where he sat gazing at the sleeping Hope.

Beast turned around and said, "Jamar was better and needed some fresh air."

/That line sounds like it came out of Star Wars.../ Cara thought as she grinned.

"Where are Sammi and Jonas?" she asked.

"I do believe they have gone to find Jamar..." Beast said as he rose from his seat, picked up a syringe, and began walking toward Cara.

"I am afraid I am going to have to sedate you, before you do the same. You really must rest Cara...you have had a very traumatic experience, and are not fully recovered. Now, hold still..." He said, as he tried to take a hold of her arm.

Cara's eyes flashed...she wasn't about to let Beast sedate her...

"Look into my eyes..." she said in a dramatic tone of voice, as she opened her eyes wide.

Beast looked into them, wondering what she was up to.

Cara grinned...her eyes had nothing to do with her empathic powers...she'd just always wanted to say that line. Cara concentrated her empathic powers, focusing on Beast's concern for Hope, then she doubled it...making it override Beast's concern for herself.

"Hank...I think Hope needs you right now...maybe you should go over and see how she is doing?" she suggested to Hank.

Hank's brow furrowed...for some reason he wasn't feeling quite rationally. "You...you...wait right here, I will be right back. Just stay put..." he said as he turned around and moved back to Hope's bedside.

/Yeah, right.../ Cara thought as she silently slipped off of the bed, and quickly exited the room. She hated doing that to Hank, but she really needed to get out of there.

/Man walking around this place is tiring me out well I could just teleport around./ Jamar thought to himself.

"That would not be wise 'First One'. You start teleporting around and the alarms will go off all over the mansion, plus you'll burn half the mansion down. You should have practiced and learned more about your powers." Zeklos says as he steps out in front of Jamar.

"It's not my fault. I've spent most of my time here off and on in the medlab with sensors on me or being locked up. I'm not even sure what all my powers are."

**Open your mind to me 'First One' and I'll share the knowledge that was taken from you when the merging occurred.** Images and conversations flood his mind as he realizes the extent of the powers his other personalities possessed. Zeklos then fades into the woodwork, literally.

/Thanks Zeklos./ Jamar begins rising from the floor as he shifts his telekinesis inward and flies up the stairs heading for the attic.

-------------------------------------------------

Sammi and Jonas head outside in search of Jamar. All is quiet... too quiet considering the range of senses that Jonas and Sammi possessed.

"Damnit where is he? I can't even pick him up telepathically.” Sammi said.

Jonas shivers as he stretches out his senses. "It’s like someone dropped us in a cone of silence or something."

-------------------------------------------------

Outside the attic door Jamar stops. /Well I can use the same trick I used on Iceman. Hmmm...I wonder./ Jamar's eyes close shut as he seeks out the mansion's resident shapeshifter. /I hope this works./ His eyes open; the swirling rainbow is no longer there, now his eyes are bright red. As his eyes and face shift, so does the rest of his body until he's duplicated Gambit.

"Gambit got skills, no?" Jamar laughs realizing he killed the accent a bit.

~Knock! Knock!~

"Oh! Remy what brings you up this way so early? Is there something wrong?" asks Storm when she answers the door.

"No. I jest sees yo'r light on and t'ought I'd jest say 'ello." He looks at Storm faking a worried look as he caresses the side of her face.

"Are you alright? YOU NEED TO REST!"

With a deep intake of air Storm yawns. "I need to rest." She then fall asleep on her feet falling into Jamar's arms. He lays her on the bed. He places a hand on her forehead like he did with Iceman.

"YOU'VE BEEN DREAMING!" He says taking a step towards the window as Storm mumbles something.

Jamar jumps from the window Icing up his body like Iceman but hits the ground as a puddle of water which reforms itself into Jamar./Cool!!!/

Jamar begins sensing that some of the others have noticed he's gone, and have come looking for him. A devious look crosses his face. One of the side effects of merging with Kyle was he got Kyle's devious and sometimes insane sense of humour. He knew his sister and Jonas were on the other end of the mansion and Cara was the closest to him.

/She probably picked up on my emotions./ he thought. He then sends out a fake call to Sammi and Jonas.

-------------------------------------------------

"Jonas did you hear that?" Sammi asked.

"Yeah. Do you think Jamar is lost in the woods?" Jonas replied.

"That would be just like him to get back into trouble right away. The sound is coming from the Northern Sector."

-------------------------------------------------

~Southern Sector~

Cara had followed Jamar thus far. She kept picking up feelings of joy and anticipation.

/I wonder what's up. The feelings get stronger as I move forward and haven't lessened, so I guess he's stopped. I hope he's alright./ she wonders to herself.

As she entered a clearing she was met with a startling discovery. The clearing was covered in snow. In the very center stood a gazebo made of ice and right beside it a snowman. Inside the gazebo stood Jamar with a nervous look on his face. As she walked up to it the snowman moved helping her up the icy steps.

Inside she could see that there was a porch swing set up suspended from the icy roof. Two lights illuminated the whole scene which upon closer inspection were found to be floating flames giving everything a magical feel. She entered the gazebo and it began to snow lightly. She slipped as she came through the heart-shaped archway falling into Jamar’s arms.

"Do you like it Cara?" No words described her feelings as they kissed in the snowy grove.

Chaos

~Dream Realm~

She smiles as she sees in the fire, a new romance blossom, Cara and Jamar. She nods with approval looking at the romantic surroundings Jamar created.

"This young man does have talent" she says in her silvery voice to the fire as she watches. "It's good to see such caring people get together"

She gently blows on the fire and the vision changes to where she sees Anon, lying down, bruised hurt, from her latest thrashing from Amanda and her supporters.

"Oh Anon look what has happened to you." A silvery tear falls into the fire and makes a hissing sound.

The tear causes the vision to change and she sees all of the members of Vision X.

~~Good luck to all of you in your upcoming battle~~ she says, her voice heard in the minds of all Vision X.

~Mansion~

Teb went back into the room. Angelo was sound asleep on the bed. Teb looked at him and smiled and walked over to the window to look up at the moon.

She got the good luck message in her head. She was worried at first, but she figured if whoever it was was wishing them good luck, then they must be a friend.

~~I wonder what’s been going around here these past few hours.~~ Teb thought to herself.

TEB

~Southern Sector~

As Jamar's kisses become more passionate, Cara pushes away from him gently but firmly.

"I'm sorry but I can't do this..." her eyes pleading with Jamar for him to understand.

"I've never been intimate with anyone before, and I want to wait. I hope you understand. You are truly special to me, but I made a promise to myself, that I wouldn't give myself to anyone before getting married. It is a code that I have lived by for a long time and if we do this it will change me and not really for the better. I will be so full of guilt that it will shatter our new found love." she speaks straight from the heart.

Jamar can feel from their link that she is telling the truth.

"Please... don't be angry with me." Cara says in a shaky voice.

Cara's eyes sparkle with tears threatening to overflow, she runs out of the enchanted area into the night, her emotions chaotic, and uncertain.

Jamar looks stunned, as he watches his love dash off into the night. Before he can run after her, Jonas and Sammi touch down, their eyes gleaming.

Dreamweaver

"This is stupid, he is fooling us around." Jonas grabbed Sammi from behind and his wings shot out from his back and he is in the air the next second.

"HEY!!!!" Sammi yells unprepared for Jonas’s sudden out burst.

======

Jonas quickly found Jamar and Cara's smells, his heart melted... but he was angry that they both don't understand that they should rest. As they were flying, they didn't notice Cara as she slipped out of the Gazebo, and into the night. Jonas slammed down beside the gazebo, letting go of Sammi.

"Are you two not suppose to be resting." Jonas said Looking into the Gazebo. It was then he noticed that Cara was not there.

Jamar didn't like his tone of voice. "It's ok, I CAN REST LATER." Jamer said to them both, but this time it didn’t work.

Jonas and Sammi both felt the telepathic suggestion in their heads... Sammi looked coldly at him.

"Do try that again fool." Jonas said angry, he was not fond of having his mind toyed with, not after being killed telepathically.

"Ohhh, I’m so scared." Jamar said teasing him.

"You should get some rest now, if we have to go up against Sinister tomorrow, we must all be in shape." Jonas said knowing that one slip up in that battle could be fatal for them all.

Jamar narrowed his eyes. "Who made you boss?"

Jonas took a step forward. "I'm no boss, but it's saying the same thing you will get from anyone in the team, now get some rest." He said calmly.

"Why don't you cool down a bit." Jamar said and smiled as he formed as thick layer of ice half way up over Jonas body. "I’m not taking this from you, even if you are my sister’s boyfriend."

Sammi was about to say something, but she heard a thought from Jonas that they needed to settle this if they were to work together.

"I'm asking you again Jamar, first remove this ice, then get some rest." Jonas relaxed his mind...

Jamar stood his ground interested what Jonas would do.

Jamar heard a sound behind him and swung around only to be wrapped up in tentacles... that came out of the ground, and a split second later he was buried up to his neck in the ground so tight that he could barely breath.

The ice around Jonas vaporized. "As you may have noticed, I have magical control of Fire, wind, Water AND *earth*... Now get some rest."

As Jamar telekinetically rips himself from the ground, Sammi walk up to him.

"I can smell both Storm and Ice man on you, and I can feel what you have done... I think you shall apologize to both of them, that was not nice."

Admiral

~Medlab~

Amanda slowly opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was the man she loved. His smiled was a mixture of relief and happiness. She could sense his love for her. HE really loves me, she thought.

(That wasn't too smart, was it.) She telepathically said to Charles.

(I am surprised that you would want to use your powers so soon after what just happened.) Charles stated with concern.

(Well, I figured I might as well jump up back on that horse. Besides, I could sense some hostilities from my team. It has a tendency to catch my attention.) She replied.

(I'm sure they will resolve it on their own You need to rest.) Charles urged.

(That's what the dragons said.) Amanda stated.

(Smart dragons.) Charles replied, with a hint of a smile.

(They certainly are. You all saved me....or did I do that myself.... it's all confusing.) Amanda said.

(Amanda, I 've never been more afraid in my life. Don't do that again.) Charles said, his expression one of concern and fear.

Amanda smiled and kissed him. Charles returned the kiss and held her as if he was afraid that someone would steal her away.

"Well, I know a certain fearless leader who will be interested in hearing how his beloved mentor is fooling around at such an important time." recited Beast.

Charles and Amanda just smiled. Beast, who figured out that he was a third wheel, decide that now was the time to go talk to Scott.

Charles asked a questioned that was on his mind. (Amanda, about the dragons?)

(Ask Jonas. In fact I'll call him..... Jonas, Cara, Sammi, and Jamar.... get back here now.....Don't disobey this order Jamar, I'm not in the mood.) Amanda telepathically ordered her team.

Charles smiled, (That was forceful.)

(I learned from the master.) Amanda smiled back.

A.C.

~Southern Sector~

Sammi looked at everyone after they got Amanda's message. She looked at Jamar and then Jonas and said,"Remember, We fight Sinister. Not each other. Now, Our Fearless Leader calls and I can tell by her voice that we should probably be there like yesterday."

Jamar and Jonas just looked at each other and said, "Later."

All of them headed back to the medlab, as they were walking Sammi fell into step with Jamar and said,"You both have to deal with this before we go after Sinister. After we talk to Amanda, I am ordering you both into the Danger Room and I think Amanda would agree with me on this, It has to be resolved before we leave. Got it?"

Jamar stopped and looked at Sammi and said, "No threats of bodily harm. What's up?"

Sammi looked at him and said,"We're a team. And to be a team means that Everyone has to work together and if having you and Jonas battle it out is the only way to do that then, it has to be done." She gave Jamar a hug and whispered in his ear, "After you are done, talk to Cara. Also If you hurt Jonas too much, I'll hurt you, and the same goes for him. Deal?"

"Deal." Jamar said. And they continued walking to the medlab.

Jonas pulled her over to the side as they entered the kitchen and gave her a kiss.

She looked at him questioningly, "What was that for?"

"For being understanding about me and Jamar." He said.

"I figured we need to be whole to go up against Sinister, and you two bickering isn't gonna make that happen. Like I told him, after we talk to Amanda, Both of you are to be in the danger room and get this over with. Also, I told him this too, If you hurt him too much, I'll hurt you. Got that, dragon?" She said with a smile.

jubilee_79

Cara ran through the darkness...her emotions were in turmoil. How could so many things have gone wrong? It wasn't supposed to be like this!

Cara ran through the forest, not knowing where she was going...She came out the other side, and found herself once again on top of the cliff. In the glistening moonlight, Cara could see the angry waves crashing below...they matched the storm of emotions that were brewing in her.

Cara fell to her knees, her heart torn in two...she threw back her head and cried into the night... but no one was there to hear...or was there?

*****

A familiar silvery voice that Cara heard once before, softly spoke in her mind.

~There there, little one, I am here. If Jamar is to be the one you end up with, then it will happen. Right now, your leader needs you.~

Cara felt unseen arms envelop her in a hug. Cara sighed, stood up, then walked through the forest back to the mansion.

*****

Cara arrived in the medlab at the same time as Sammi, Jonas and...Jamar. She couldn't look at him. It hurt her too much...she turned off her empathic powers, because she figured he probably hated her.

She sighed. No matter how much it had hurt to tell him no, she knew that the alternative would have hurt her more. She just hoped he would understand that in time.

Rainfall

~Medlab~

Sammi, Jamar, Jonas, and Cara walked into the lab to see Amanda back on her feet, much to the annoyance of Charles. From what they could hear, it sound like Charles wanted Amanda to rest but she wasn't having anything to do with it. Jonas alone could hear both dragons echoing Charles's advice and getting the same reply from Amanda. The foursome tried not to laugh as they approached.

(I wouldn't laugh too hard, Jonas. I told Xavier that you were going to explain why I have two dragons in my head.) Jonas heard in his mind.

Jonas smiled at Amanda's tone for it seem to have a lightheartedness that had been missing for a while. Jonas thought that the only times he had seen her this calm was with Xavier. He was glad that she found some happiness with him, just as he had with Sammi.

(Thanks, Jonas. I am happy, and if it wasn't for you guys I probably wouldn't be here for it. You guys put yourselves on the line for me. Thanks.)

(What are friends for. Besides, I still want the dirt on you and Xavier.) Jonas teased.

He heard Amanda laugh as she replied, (Only if you care to tell me why Wolverine was about to hand you your heart on a sliver platter.)

Jonas smiled as he looked at Sammi. She smiled at him trying to figure out what was going on in his dragon mind. Though she knew that Jonas loved only her, she didn't understand this new connection with Amanda. She just shrugged it off as be some type of dragon kinship.

(Would you like to tell me what is going on with you and Jamar, Jonas?) Amanda queried.

(Back into fearless leader mode.) Jonas chided.

(I have to be when the two of you decide to act like Scott and Wolverine.) Amanda replied.

(Which one of us is Scott?) asked Jamar

(I don't know. After you two have it out in the danger room we'll know.) Amanda answered.

Jonas smiled, (Let me guess. The one who loses is Scott. All talk, no skill.)

Jamar smiled as he got into it, (No. The one who goes jungle like is Wolverine. All skill, no brains.)

(I'm glad that you two are enjoying this little bagging on the X-men, but you wouldn't live long if they heard you.) Amanda said.

At that moment, both X-men walked in and were greeted by laughter from the three and confused stares from everyone else. Wolverine turned to Scott questioningly, while Scott just shrugged. He was getting use to it.

A.C.

Jonas smiled. Jamar was powerful, insubordinate, and he was not much of a team player... not really strange... having an ensemble of personalities in one's head could drive any one to that.

But they had to work as a team, And he knew that Jamar would be important in the upcoming battle. Everyone was important, he could feel it.

Now with Thanagar's complete wisdom, he knew exactly the importance of following orders and he also knew a good leader when he saw one, Amanda was one.

It felt good to know that she had Thanagar to help her get over her fear.

He glanced at Jamar, he looked so damn secure about himself... but was it all an act? But he would never underestimate him.

"Jonas, would you now care to explain the Dragon situation?" Xavier asked.

He snapped back and looked at Xavier and even as he started to explain the complex story about the Dragons, having Azmaru correcting him... his mind didn't stop his tactical assessment of Jamar.

======

After Jonas had finished his explanation, Xavier, Sammi, Jamar, Cara, Logan and Scott looked like they thought Jonas was completely mad.

Amanda found it somewhat simplified... the whole situation was more complex but this was not the right moment to bring it up... Scott’s head looked like it was about to explode.

Thanagar was laughing so hard in her had that she thought that she would get a headache...

Admiral

~Later that evening~

Teb was walking down a city street with her backpack slung over her shoulder as usual. On the other side of the street, the boys stood around in a circle. Teb sighed. Those boys were caught in the harsh chains of urban life. They were only hurting themselves. She kept on walking. This was her neighborhood. They wouldn’t mess with her.

"Teb!"

Teb looked down the street. Angelo was on the corner waving his arms.

"Teb!" he called.

"Hey Ange!" Teb called out to her boyfriend. She smiled. Her boyfriend. She loved her boyfriend.

Ange held out his arms waiting for a hug. Teb smiled and started to jog down the street to him. Ange smiled at her and Teb smiled back.

~Geez, this is a long block~ thought Teb as she ran to Angelo. A car started to pull up behind Angelo. It was going slow

~Oh no...~ Teb thought.

It was happening in slow motion. The car pulled up to the corner and she saw the gun.

"ANGE, GET DOWN!!!" she screamed.

Ange just stood there waiting for his hug.

"ANGE!!!" she screamed again.

He seemed like he couldn’t hear her.

"ANGE!!!"

the three shots rang through Teb’s ears.

"NOOOO ANGELO!!"

Angelo’s body racked with the force of the bullets as he slowly fell to the ground. Before he fell down, Teb looked into his eyes.

"ANGE!!!"

"ANGE NO!!"

"NO!"

*****

Teb woke up screaming. Ange was shaking her to wake her up. Teb looked up at his worried eyes. It was a dream. Just a dream.

"Teb, Teb, it’s ok... it’s ok..." Ange said as Teb was trying to control herself. She didn’t know whether to cry or be happy.

"Take deep breaths chica, calm down." Ange said.

Teb inhaled deep and exhaled slowly to even out her breathing.

"Oh Ange..." she said and threw her arms around him.

"Shhhh, chica... it’s alright, it was just a dream. it’s ok." he soothed.

"I thought they got you too Ange, I thought they got you too."

"I’m fine Teb, it’s ok." Ange said and rubbed circles on her back. Teb seemed to calm and her heart rate slowed.

"I’m ok now, Ange." Teb said and pushed off Angelo. "I just need to get something to drink." she got off the bed and started to the door.

"Let me get you something." Ange asked with nothing but concern in his eyes.

"No, I’m fine Ange. Go back to sleep." she said and looked back at those worried eyes ."Really Ange..." she put on a fake smile, "I’ll be fine."

Ange bought the smile and Teb slipped out of the room and closed the door.

Teb went into the bathroom washed her face with cold water, and dried off. she looked at her reflection in the mirror.

"It was fake." she whispered to herself over and over again. she closed her eyes. she figured a cold shower would snap her out of it. After she had relaxed, she shut off the shower and stepped out .

Ange’s bloody body was standing there. Teb shrieked.

"It’s all your fault teb." said Ange’s bloody mouth.

"no..." Teb whispered to herself. "it’s not real..."

"I said it’s all your fault, b****!" Ange said again.

"This can’t be happening..." Teb said and backed off as Ange approached her.

"You got close to me 'chica'." he said the word with so much bitterness.

"No, no, no..." Teb repeated over and over again.

"You got close to me and now I’m dead and it’s all your fault."

Teb couldn’t help herself but to cry now.

"It’s your fault..." he paused "You’re getting close to your team now aren’t you Teb?" he asked with such evil in his voice.

Teb looked up shocked. It was true. She was alot less antisocial now than when she first came here. She considered her teammates trusted friends.

"They’re all gonna die Teb." Ange said and got closer to her. He got right into her face. She could smell the blood "and it’s all your fault..." he said and smiled and pointed to the bathroom mirror. Teb looked to see a face morphing through the faces of vision x. they were screaming and calling for help.

"It’s your fault Teb."

"No..." Teb said louder.

“They’re gonna die tomorrow and you won’t be able to help them."

"NO!" Teb yelled as she looked at the helpless faces of her team, her friends crying for her to help them.

"It’s because of you they’re dying, you got close to them... it’s your fault."

"NO!!!" Teb screamed and punched the glass with the palm of her hand (not turned into metal).

The glass shattered and Teb looked around. Angelo was gone, and she was sitting there crying with shards of glass in her hand.

"It’s all my fault!" Teb cried and fell to the floor. Someone was pounding on the door but she couldn’t hear them. She couldn’t hear anything but the cry of her friends calling out to her to save them.

teb
