It had been a few weeks since the attack and for the most part, people were getting settled back into their normal routines. The main computer had been repaired, as was the med lab, kitchen and bedrooms. The front doors had an extra layer of security; however, there was no telling if it would hold should another attack of that calibur occur.
Matthew still harbored the secret in which he couldn't bring himself to tell his sister. He told Gabs and swore her to secrecy until he was ready. He covered himself by obsessively working out and getting lost in the fields.
Olivia would visit her father daily, giving him food and such. They would talk, but she still didn't trust the man. It didn't help that Skye wasn't ready to see him either. She had been recovering from losing her arm--that in itself had devastated her. She would see Angie on a weekly basis for rehab, and then the frustration would ensure.
------------------------------------ Her steps were quiet on the concrete as she walked toward the brig. It was about lunch time and everyone else was eating in the commons, so it was the perfect time to sneak off unnoticed. Opening the door slowly, she brushed her dark brown locks to the maimed shoulder, taking a deep breath before actually walking in. Her blue eyes looked upon him sitting on a bench in his cell. He had neatly placed his left over dishes on the counter from breakfast. He had always been so neat and tidy, while Skye had been a mess.
"H-Hello..." she spoke softly, hesitant of her words. Was this real? Was he really alive?

Charis walked into the room, currently still re-learning things not only about herself but the others around her and trying constantly to figure out how she ended up like this. by now, she learned she was in the right place and how a bunch of things in the mansion worked but was still learning names and other things. She went to sit down just to relax for a while and said, "Hello guys...what's up?"

Ryuusei was in the gym; using weight machines really wasn't his thing...but with the state of things, he really couldn't just 'leave at night to train', aside from going overseas. So while he was in here, he worked with just a few machines to keep his body toned without 'bulking up'. That type of body didn't work with his fighting style.
While he'd spent a lot of time in the gym, over the last few weeks, he'd also seen Matt in there. the guy seemed preoccupied with something, likely what happened to his sister. Ryuusei knew from experience; whenever thoughts of his Boys crept into his mind, he needed to work it out.
Something that was on HIS mind though, was maybe porting back to the past. While he didn't want to abandon everyone here, they could make sure none of this shit ever happened...assuming he oculd convice Magneto to share his toys.

Olivia walked into the gym, her sack at her side and ready to beat the tar out of a punching bag. She didn’t want to be around people much these days, especially with her family being turned upside down.
Pulling her bright red hair into a ponytail, she dropped her bag into the ground and cracked her knuckles. The girl looked to Ryuusei and gave him a nod “Not feeling lunch either?” She asked as she began to stretch.
————————————— Matthew dished up some flavorless meatloaf and set his plate down. His state of mind had been lost as he stared into the meaty morsel in front of him. With a heavy sigh, he picked up his fork, only to put it down again. Noticing Charis, he smirked “Hey there. C’mon over.”
He could use a distraction from the demons than ran amuck within his mindz

Charis had sat down and was just going to be there for a bit when one of her friends? asked her to join them and she got up and sat near him. "What's up...um...oh come on...your name is...." This usually happened to her since her incident...she would be with someone and out loud for some reason would try and figure out who they were and then most times they would either tell her or something else happened. "Um...I'm sorry...I am usually good at this kind of thing..."*Looks at food*... "Ooh this looks good...is it?"

He finished a set and was taking a drink from his water bottle when Olivia walked in. (Now THERE's someone whose got a lot to work through right now.) He nodded back, but kept an eye on her as she went for a punching bag and started to stretch. (Nice legs.) and responded to her. "Eh, never been much of a big eater...unless we're talkin' pizza, buuut I can't imagine a Zone where it's still made, let alone delivered to the middle of the desert. You?"

Pyro was remembering more and more as the time went by. Olivia who said she was his daughter came by. She had to admit the resemblance...and though he was sure they had never met something about her did seem familiar. And then there was Skye...he saw various memories of her as whatever the redheaded bitch gave him wore off he was started to remember little things. Who he was, those he worked with. He still had a hard time remembering but Her face was too familiar, and the more he knew she was telling the truth. He and Skye were in love...at least he remembered being in love with her. Gods he hoped he could keep remembering. He looked at Skye sadly and nodded "Hello Skye...I am glad you came." He started slowly to get closer to at least hug her. "I don't know what she did...or how she got me. I-I'm starting to remember things...slowly. I was hoping we could talk. I keep seeing snipits of memory in my bran. Many with you in them. I was hoping we could talk and you could help me. I don't know if they are real or not..." he let her go and looked right into her eyes. "I know this must be hard for you too...but it really is me. I just wish...I just wish I could remember more. Know what that bitch did to me..." he dared to put his forhead agaist hers...it did seem natural somehow.

Matt smiles to Charis and offered her some coffee and a plate “It’s powdered eggs. They’re edible, and about the only thing we have right now. I’ve gotta make another run.” He sighed “You holdin’ up okay, Charis?” He asked honestly before scooping up some of the yellow goop with a spoon. Shuttering as he tasted it, he gulped it down all the same.
“We’re gonna be heading to London within the next week or so. We’ve gotta rescue Wanda first and head there. Logan, Skye and Angie were working on the escape plan. You got everything ready to go?” He asked softly. They couldn’t handle another attack...not when they lost half of their people...
—————————————
Oliver threw a few more punches to the leather bag, breaking the thing open and the fluff pouring out “Not.” -punch- “Hungry.” She growled before bending down to take a swig or water.
Looking to Ryuusei, she smirked while wiping off beads of beads of sweat from her lip “Pizza...I haven’t had pizza in so long... it was before all the crap happened. When I was a kid, I think.” She sighed “Before life became a tornado of all the shit...”

Her eyes lit up as soon as the man spoke to her. Walking closer, she listened to him, breathing softly as tears developed slowly. Biting her lip as he spoke of Olivia, she gulped with happiness. Was it really him? She nodded to his questions, agreeing to help in any way she could.
As he hugged her through the bars, she let fell into his embrace. His smell brought back so many memories. She didn’t hug him back, though, as she was afraid none of this was real. Like it was a dream, or some of the medication she’d been on for her arm was making her imagine all of this.
“I can’t answer much, and I don’t know how she got you and or why, but to ruin everyone.” She spoke softly, her voice near sobs. “It’s been 15 years...god...” she added as he rested his forehead against hers. Closing her eyes as the tears finally fell, she licked her lips and continued “I will help you...with anything you need.”
They would need to talk about everything. She’d bring in photos of what she had managed to grab before the initial attacks began. They’d have to basically start over. Fall in love all over again. “John...?” She asked softly before grabbing her key, sticking the metal into the lock and turning “I...I’m going to let you out. But know that if you do anything ...I won’t hesitant to hold you down.” She struggled to threaten him.
The woman had no idea of any side effects he may have from Rhona. As soon as the cage opened, she stepped inside “H-hug me again...please...” she stuttered.

He nodded as she opened the door. He knew he had lost a lot of time.
"That is all I ask. I wish I knew how she had gotten me...all I know right now is that the memories are coming back to me slowly. I myself don't know of what I am seeing is real or what she wanted me to see and remember. These last years have been such a haze." As he came out of the bars he gave her a hug as she asked. He held her there as long as he dared. It made his day a little better knowing she remembered him as he was before. There was a lot to catch up though...he knew once he remembered he may not remember the last 15 years he was taken and he would need to be caught up
"Thank you Skye...I know it won't be much but it will at least be something. And I'd like to walk around. Maybe seeing things I used to..people...It might spark some of these memories. Fill in gaps here and there." He managed a sad smile "and a sit down meal outside of bars would be fantastic..." He hoped to break the ice a little bit to make things easier for the both of them. After all she just found out after 15 years he wasn't dead when she probably thought he was. Her face when she first saw him basically said that as it looked like she had seen a ghost and the way she had avoided him until now.

Logan has been careful with John. The man was. OT someone he wanted loose in this facility until he had been cleared by Angie. He had insisted that Bell be with with Skye but she refused saying that John wouldn’t hurt her. He laughed as he still had Bell appear suddenly during visits. He sighed as he was sitting in his boxer briefs on the gurney for his check up. Angie was of the mind that his blood had the cure for many diseases and that she could synthesize it from his antibodies. That was nice thinking but he rarely argued with his wife. He smiled as she entered with her equipment.
“What’s it going to be today Doc? Hair, blood, or skin?”
He didn’t want to bring up that she could obtain all this from their daughter but left that one at rest. Angie did her regular check ups because unlike him Bellona didn’t have a full skeleton of adamantium. He supposed it had something to do with that.
“Ang....you ever want another kid?”
It was an odd question but one he had wanted to ask her. He supposed they may have had more but considering everything they were lucky they had Bell.

Charis looked at the drink and took a sip of it as it felt hot, Thank you...Powdered Eggs? I will try them..." She watched Matt eat and mimicked him thinking that was how the Powdered Eggs were to be eaten.
"Well, I am sort of Powdered Eggs, but I am still trying to figure out what happened to me but I don't remember...Do you know?" She didn't hear his name yet so that's why she called him Powdered Eggs.
She looked at him, "Whats London? is it something fancy? Also, who is Wanda?" Logan, Skye and Angie's names were escaping her too. "I will do my best for all of us, I can promise you that Powdered Eggs"

Angie sighed as it seemed her work never ended. Her check ups on every member, both physically and mentally, often took up her days. She laid her tablet on the table as she checked numbers from those still incapacitated. She took a break from testing John as she knew her daughter needed a well earned break. She ran her fingers through her hair as she took in a deep breath. Logan still didn't trust the man which was warranted.
The deep voice of her husband floated in the air as she chuckled. While he was the least she worried about, there was still odd readings to his blood. Something she had not fully been able to put her finger on. She took regular samples for many reasons. She straightened her white jacket as she picked up a swap.
"Well, sir, it will be all three. I won't scold you for being just in your boxers. It will be a full work up. We just had a large battle. Though play your cards right and I might let you help with my self examination." She gave him a wink.
She swapped the inside of his cheek as she placed it a tube. She grabbed an alcohol wipe as she signaled for him to close his fist. She wiped the crook of his elbow as she got the rest of her supplies ready. His wounds closed rather fast so her reflexes need to be sharp. His question caused her pause as she looked up at him. It was something that she had gone back and forth every so often.
She placed her hands within his as her blue eyes stared deep into his. "That is a tough question. There are times that I wish for more. Mostly, I am thankful for just Bell. I couldn't imagine another in this war. The worry of when we are attacked and I can't do my duty is real. I couldn't forgive myself if something happened while I was pregnant."
She closed her eyes as her breath evened out. It felt like a lot welled up within. Another Bell in their life might be too much for the both of them. "What about you?" *~*~
Bell wiped a bit of sweat off of her brow. All the vehicles had been maintained for the moment. It had taken all morning which left her a good tired. This had made her feel useful other than a babysitter. She really only did it because her father required it. She washed her hands before she made her way to the mess hall.
She nodded at the other two in the room, "What's the chow?"

Matt laughed at Charis “London is a place, sweetheart. It’s part of England, or what’s left of it. Truthfully, it’s a hell of a lot safer than here...” he chuckled. Realizing that his name probably escaped her, he smirked sweetly while putting his fork down “Matt.” He annoyed as his index finger pointed to his face “And I dunno what happened to you. You might ask Angie. She’s the doc here and the one who found you.” He half smiled before Bell walked in “Same as always, B, powdered shit on a fork. You can salt it at least.”
———————————
Skye closed her eyes toward the soft embrace. Struggling to lift her arm, she touched his back gently before letting it down. Backing away, he would see the stump of what was left of her left arm. She was alive thanks for Angie and Logan...
“I can take you for a tour once you’re cleared.” She spoke softly “And at least for now, I think we can okay meals outside of the bars. I’m sorry that we have to do this, but whatever Rhona did to you...” she added, pursing her lips together “You fought me out there, John...You fought hard, like we were enemies, because that’s what we were to you.”
Sitting down next to his feet, she closed her eyes once more “You were taken in the year 2021. You had gone out with Matt for a rescue maneuver and never came back. I saw...” she stuttered as tears forms once again “I saw her destroy you. She steamed it on live tv. The bitch hacked into our mainframe and presented it to everyone here...” she clenched her fist “I found out that I was pregnant a month later.” She sighed heavily.
Looking to him with a slight smile “I’ll bring you some pict—“ she stopped suddenly. “I can give you glimpse of my memories! That had to jolt something, right?!” She bit her lip as rational thought had flown out the window. “How about this...” she smiled sweetly “I’ll show you one memory a day so you don’t get overloaded.”
“And today, I’ll show you what Livie looked like after she was born...”

Charis laughed a little at her own weirdness. "Oh, ok well I hope things will get better there, we will find Wanda...Matt...thank you." She then hugged him then went to look for Angie. "Hello B, talk you later don't get sick on the eggs." With that Charis walked out and went looking for the Doc Angie.
She was really hoping that Angie would have some answers to a lot of questions but she knew they didn't have much time for talking...
