A lot of things had changed since the bombing incident and Darius and Skye's deaths for certain X-men but not as much some would say as Charis as she had awoken in her bed at the house but had absolutely no clue where she was or even who she was. She wandered out into the halls where she was seen by Jean Grey and after some moments decided to go with this women she just met.
She walked into a room with her looking around at everything as curious as a newborn baby. "Hey lady, what exactly are you doing to me and I'm thinking i'm not sure I'm supposed to be here... am I?"

The previous event at the Brotherhood house was a real eye opener for Vance. He was left with a maelstrom of thoughts and emotions. Skye had invaded his mind and subdued him to keep him, and his allies, from entering the mansion, but claimed it was to protect them. Vance valued the sanctity of his mind and free well above all else, so it left a sour, bitter taste in his mouth. Of course, having Skye die from the scenario complicated things because now he had no one to be mad at anymore. Still, he would need to keep a better defense on who he allowed in his mind in the future. It was then that he thought of the psychics in the Xavier School, like Professor Xavier himself, as well as Jean Grey. He would need to be wary of them in the future. He didn't want to take any chances.
He decided to try and calm his mind's turbulence with some wandering around. It was then that he saw Jean Grey walking with a trouble-looking Charis, deciding to follow them. "Heyo, is Charis alright?" he asked looking concerned for her.

Since awakening from her coma, Jean had been feeling off. It was the only way to describe it. The things she had seen and experienced during her coma caused her awakening to be dramatic. All of the worst things her subconscious could think of, happened in images of death and destruction. Form her world being destroyed to still standing was jarring to say the least.
She had long talks with Professor Xavier about what happened. He reported that Darius had died at the hands of his daughter. A couple members of the new recruits had gone after him with a small group of mercenaries. They rescued a couple members of the Brotherhood as well. She had talked to the recruits who went. Her heart went out to poor Charis who had her memory wiped.
She and Charis had been working on unlocking the memories that Darius has put behind a firewall of sorts. She often went up against it, feeling like she had her own firewall. The girl had walked into her office with a confused look upon her face. She folded her hands in front of her and on her desk. A deep breath entered into lungs as she put a smile on her face.
"Yes, Charis, you are suppose to be here at the moment. I am helping you recover the memories that you lost. It has been a rough road though we will get through it."

Charis sat down still looking around the room wondering what everything was and wanted to touch it too. "Hey wait a minute what's a Charis? That weird guy that came up behind me even called me that. Is that a bad word? Or does it mean something else? Who in the heck was that guy and where are we now..." She kept asking questions but decided to stop since she wanted to know the answers.

As he came into the room with Jean and Charis, he heard her response and it spoke volumes. It was far worse than he thought. She lost her memory from Skye's mind jankery. He had a devastating look on his face, as if he just witnessed the end of the world and he was about to throw up. "Charis...it's me...Vance...we're friends..." It was like he was trying to reach for some kind of part of her that still remembered him.

She looked back at the man who apparently followed them into the room and asked, "Friends? What does that mean and why are you stalking me, Vance? Also, why do people keep calling me Charis?" She looked back at the other woman and looked for answers.

Jean took in a deep sigh. It would seem as if Darius did more of a number on Charis then anyone realized. She knew that it was going to take more time than anyone realized. She sat a little closer to the girl as Vance tried to jog her memories.
"Charis is your name, what we call you by. Just like Jean is my name and Vance is his. A friend is someone who you know and have mutual affection for."
She watched as she gathered a few ideas of what could work with the girl. The seal would be broken eventually. It would just take a lot of time.

Vance's sour face spoke volumes. He was not down with Charis' amnesia at all. He was dealing with a maelstrom of emotions that he was doing all he could to keep under-wraps in front of Charis and Jean. At the same time, all he could think about that damn Skye that did this to her. And what really sucks is that she was dead so he couldn't take out his frustration on her. All of his pent-up anger with no one to vent on. Sometimes being the good guy sucked.
"Charis," Vance continued. "Remember when we first met when I came into the mansion? How we walked together at the March? How we fought to survive when the March was raided? What about last night with Dee? Does anything about us ring a bell for you?"

Charis listened to them both and then said, "I am Charis and Jean and Vance are friends. Thank you." She then turned her body toward Vance to hear what he had to say. She then tried to think real hard as she scrunched her face trying to squeeze the information out.
After about a minute she stopped and looked at him, "Sorry Vance, I don't know what happened in March or this Dee you speak of. Can you tell me more about these things please?"

Jean took in a sharp breath as Vance talked about things they did. She watched the interaction between the two of them. She was concerned when Charis didn't view the two of them as friends. It seems that her explanation wasn't quite on point. It was troubling to see the girl so confused.
"We are all friend's in this room and in the mansion. What do you remember, Charis?"

Vance frowned as Charis just couldn't remembered the aforementioned events. He frowned as he looked to Jean as she spoke, then tried talking to Charis after.
"We went on the Mutant March in the name of freedom and rights for all mutants," he started. "It was a peaceful march, but things turned wrong when some bad people attacked it, making everyone scatter for their lives. I was searching for survivors when I found you on the street, and we started looking for others together. Dee is another mutant I found, but she wasn't with us at the time. She was actually part-squirrel, and we spoke sometime after the incident at the March. We all even worked together once...for a short time, then...well, that's when you lost your memory."

Charis sat there listening to them both tell her information that she was trying her darnedest to remember. She was starting to remember bits and pieces and what they were telling her helped.
"Thank you friends for trying to help me. I do remember being in some sort of crowd for something...this March you mentioned I guess. I think I remember some squirrel person kinda but things are still sketchy. I kinda do remember something later that we did but I don't remember what it was...Do I have parents? Also where are they if I do?"

Jean gave an inner sigh of relief as Charis was starting to remember bits and pieces. She slid back as a leg crossed over the other. She knew that this wasn't a hopeless battle in the end. It would be a long commitment in the end.
"As for your parents, they are no longer around. You don't have a family to say the least. The people here at mansion have become your second family."

"Wow...just like me..." Vance thought aloud. "I don't have parents, either...I guess that kinda makes me like a second brother." He chuckled as he said that, though going into a frown as he recalled what happened to his mother and father.

Charis wanted to spin around in her chair but then noticed that it was a stationary one. She liked the ideas of having a massive amount of new brothers and sisters in which prompted more questions. "Hey so who is going to be like my new mom and new dad or is everyone just brothers and sisters?" After that she stood up and stepped over to Vance and hugged him, "Don't be upset brother, you sister Charis is here for you."
She then sat back down hoping that Miss Jean had more answers and she also hoped that she wasn't causing her a lot of stress.
