11 February 2004 - And another one falls

Written by Joy

Jean

A scream was heard throughout the Mansion, loud and paralyzing, and everybody knew it was Tracy. Hank looked up as Scott came running through the medlab doors, a seizing Jamie in his arms. They laid him out on the table and soon, the seizure stopped, and Jamie laid still. Hank hooked him up to equipment, and after what felt like hours, he and Jean walked over to where Scott was calming down Tracy.

"He's slipped into a coma. His brain activity is almost none, and I don't expect him to wake up again." Hank laid a large, furry hand on Theresa's shoulder. "You can sit with him if you like. All of the doubles have dissipated."

"It won't be long," Jean said, and she led Tracy to another side of the med bay, where Jamie was lying comatose. She came back to where her husband was and let him wrap his arms around her. Scott always looked so serious, he was a man unable to cry, because of his mutation, but Jean, because of her powers, was overly sensitive to the suffering of her students.

"So much death," she said quietly. BUt deep inside, she knew, that once Jamie had died from Legacy, hank would be able to make a cure, and Theresa would be healthy, and her powers would stop malfunctioning.
