“All the children have been sent back to the cafeteria to finish their dinner,” Ororo said as they gathered outside the medbay, “as late as it’s getting, I do not want any to go to bed on empty stomachs.”
“It seems only a handful got the full force of the empathy spike,” Jean told them after leaving Xavier who was doing his own mental recovery, “though several did see flashes and images before we put them into the rooms.”
“Can I recommend we call tomorrow a Snow Day?” Jean-Paul replied wryly.
“I believe that can be arranged,” Ororo replied with a touch of exhausted mirth.
“Jean,” Scott spoke up, “you said that the fear was irrational, full of half-truths and lies.”
“Uh, yeah,” she nodded, wondering where that question came from, “the effect of Danielle’s empathy pulled up everything, regardless of how much merit it might have had.”
“I think that’s something we should all remember,” he told the team, “there are no bigger lies than the ones we tell ourselves, whatever we saw, whatever we felt, it wasn’t real, it wasn’t the truth.”
“I’ll tell myself that after a fifth of Scotch,” JP patted him on the shoulder and headed out of the room.
“I think I shall be sleeping under the stars tonight,” Ororo also started to leave.
“It’s thirty seven degrees outside,” Bobby told her, “and that’s not accounting for wind chill.”
“I have slept naked in the Siberian tundra,” the woman replied, “here I will be entirely more modest.”
“I did not need to know that,” Bobby paused in his steps, “but thank you for taking my mind off my own problems.”
This just left Scott and Jean in the room, so she turned to him, “Scott—”
“Night Jean,” he said quickly, turning and leaving the room.
Was he just going to pretend that she hadn’t heard everything David said? It may have been a half-truth, but what half was a lie, and what half was the truth?
…
“You said you had something?” Pietro asked Rogue who was standing at the kitchen island, maps and photos in front of her.
“I think so,” she nodded, “the memories were fragments but it was there.”
“What was there?” he tried to figure out what she saw in all the information.
“A human trafficking ring,” she told him, “only with mutants. We always figured one had to exist, what with government black ops programs and secret mutant researchers like Rowland needing test subjects.”
“Yes,” he nodded with a touch of disgust in his voice, “but they’ve always been careful to keep themselves hidden, we haven’t figured out how.”
“Because they’ve been hiding in plain sight,” Rogue told him, her hand pointing at a building with a large logo on the front of it:
Worthington Enterprises.
