Tabby
pulled the thin blanket over her head and rolled onto her side, putting her
back to the door, ignoring Beast’s presence.
He had forced her, though gently, to the medical lab, when he saw her
among the students in the foyer after the bomb scare. _I do not look ill, _ she thought
miserably. _I look angry. _ Her stomach rumbled
faintly but she ignored it, too. She did
not *feel* hungry, despite what her traitorous body claimed. She felt tired, she thought. Tired and lost and angry and sad and she just
did not think she could keep doing this.
She swore that she would not stop looking for her son but when it was
quiet and she had to listen to herself think, tiny whispers in her mind told
her he was dead, that she would never find him, that it was punishment for her
life so far. Unbidden, sobs welled in
her throat and her too-thin body bowed and curled under the pressure, the
burning and choking pain rising in her throat. Tears did not come but her body shuddered and
convulsed with grief and rage, barely silent in the far corner of the medical
lab. The green blanket provided no
warmth as Tabby shivered, biting down hard on her arm to keep quiet. She tasted blood but did not care, the salty
warmth trickling across her tongue, making it’s way
down her throat. Tabby wondered if she
were losing her mind, if it were at all possible at this point. She could not fathom spending another day
like this, much less the rest of her life.
Someone, she could not remember who other than it was a lady at the
police station, had blown her off, told her that she was young, she would have
more babies. It had taken Logan
and Storm both to keep her from killing the woman or destroying the entire
station with her powers. A cold draft
moved across her, penetrating the blanket and raising gooseflesh on her already
shivering form. Someone had come to
check on her, most likely Beast. She
would not give him the satisfaction of seeing her fall apart. With as much will as she could muster, she
forced her body to be still, almost succeeding save for a slight tremble in her
belly and arms. She tucked her bitten
arm under her stomach, rolling slightly to hide the blood welling to the
surface, and she closed her eyes.
“Tabitha?”
It was
Beast. He was close, probably standing
right over her. She could hear pen on
paper, scribbling notes.
“Tabitha,
are you awake?”
A familiar
smell tickled her nose. She knew the
aroma of spice and citrus from somewhere—it was not quite the same as she
remembered, though, she mused, finding herself drifting off unexpectedly. It smelled more subtle here, more
refined. Not like someone had doused
themselves in it.
“Her
breathing is regular, but I think she’s just dozing rather than truly asleep.
_Who the
Hell is he talking to? What, he bringing
tours down here now? _ She did not let herself shift, even
though her feet and arm were falling asleep.
She forced her breathing to stay regular and even, straining her ears
for the sounds of the other people in the room.
A very soft squeaking sound, like a bike tire, and the
sound of fabric rustling, like someone wearing a cloak or a long coat, were
the only sounds other than Beast in the room, as far as she could tell.
“Let her
sleep, Henry,” Professor Xavier said quietly.
“She needs rest. When she
awakens, we’ll be in my study. Let me
know and we’ll return to speak with her.
I think she should hear it from Magneto.”
Her eyes
flew open under the blanket, her heart leaping into her throat. In a fury, she threw the bedding aside,
ignoring it when it tangled around her arm, and sat up, the world dimming and
brightening as the blood rushed from her head.
“Fucking bastard!” she screamed, not sure if she meant it for the
Professor or Magento, both of whom were regarding her
with calm, albeit concerned, interest. She
lurched from the bed, her attention focused now solely on Magneto. He did not step away from her as she reached
out, trying to grab him. Her knees
buckled, her numb feet not willing to cooperate with her body’s command to move
forward, and she crumpled towards the ground, Beast’s arm coming around her to
keep her from concussing herself. “You…you…
I hope you die!” she shrieked, thrashing as best she could in Beast’s
grasp. Now the tears came, pouring hot
and heavy down her cheeks. “Rot in Hell,
you fucking cock sucking son of a whore!”
Magneto
pursed his lips and shifted his gaze to his old friend. “I see she’s benefited from being around
others her age.”
“Henry,
sedate her,” Professor Xavier ordered tersely.
He could not get a grasp on Tabby’s thoughts but he tried to break
through them anyway. _*Tabby,
calm down. He’s here to tell you
about Lucas. Listen to him. For once, you can trust him… *_
“NO!” she
screamed, kicking at Beast’s stomach. He
grunted and shifted her in his grasp so that her feet hung to the side and she
was cradled almost like an infant in his arms.
“Charles,
please do the honors,” he asked, nodding to the silver tray by the head of the
bed.
Tabby was
incoherent, screaming and writhing, trying to reach Magneto, when the injection
pierced her skin. A coppery taste flooded
her mouth and throat then everything became cold, silent. Her body relaxed and her head lolled back,
her lips parted and eyes showing their whites.
“I think,” Magneto said after a long moment in which Tabby was returned
to the bed and the sheet pulled up to her neck, “you should be the one to
explain this to her.”
