X-Men Academy

[Souji]

Hm? Oh, it's nothing... *Cedric finds a small book, and he pockets it. He also finds a small bottle of medicine, and drinks a tablespoon's worth. Gizelo doesn't see that his hands stop shaking*

*Cedric sits on the bed next to Gizelo's* so, what's up?

 

[Bluetwilight]

Gizelo: -she thinks for moment but shakes her head removing her thought-
Trying to get out this room

 

[Souji]

I know what you mean. Being in here too long makes you... Well let's just say it isn't pretty. Can you walk, Gizelo?

 

[Bluetwilight]

Gizelo: no...I can barely even stand. I'm gonna be here quite a while. When don't want to be here my legs never cooperate -she sighs-

 

[Souji]

I see.... *Cedric looks around, and finds a wheelchair. He rolls it next to Gizelo's bed*

...maybe I can help you get around? *Jokingly, Cedric tips an invisible hat* I shall be your... Chauffeur of sorts, ma'am.

 

[Bluetwilight]

Gizelo: -she smiles- didn't think I would get my own chauffeur...well can you help me up

 

[Souji]

Sure! *Cedric uses his steam powers to gently lift Gizelo and put her in the wheelchair*

You good? *checking everything* ok, let's go! Onward! *Cedric makes a comical heroic pose as he pushes Gizelo out of the infirmary*

 

[Bluetwilight]

Gizelo: -she giggles a bit- why do you pose? I've noticed that you've done that

 

[Souji]

I'm glad you asked! Well, when I formed the X-Students club with the others back on the first day, I proposed that this pose would be our special thing between all members, like a way of identifying each other.

I swear, it's sooooooo cool!! No one takes me seriously, though. *Cedric hangs his head and pouts jokingly*

 

[Bluetwilight]

Gizelo: I can see why -she smiles-
Although it's quite interesting. The pose and kinda idiotic… but otherwise it's...nice
-she remembers when she was little she'd be acting like a superhero playing in the snow before the storm. Her smile fades away remembering how her parents were-

 

[Souji]

Well, at least you're honest, Gizelo, haha!

*while pushing her, Cedric notices her smile gone* you ok? What's on your mind?

 

[Bluetwilight]

Gizelo: ......-she doesn't respond deep in thought. Her hands shaking a little. Gizelo calms herself and plasters a fake smile on her face- oh nothing really just thinking about the incident with the Red man..
by the way I'm sorry for you having to see that..

 

[Megamkfan]

(I'm still waiting for Shy.)

 

[Souji]

*Cedric becomes a little more serious* right. The Red Man. You gave us the details after his attack. We'll be ready next time.

Don't be worried about me... It must have been terrible for something like that to happen so suddenly.

*The blood, the pain, the suffering. Cedric remembers his time back home. Sneering voices. Cold, dark. No love, no peace. The cries of the dying, the screams of agony. All behind an impenetrable layer of glass and metal..."

*Cedric snaps out of it* umm... So yeah. We'll be good, won't we? *Cedric sounds like he's trying to assure both of them*

 

[Bluetwilight]

Gizelo: we won't be ready. I'll be. You guys will just have to wait and see. The whole concept is the one standing is the strongest one.
I fought him before but I didn't know who he was then...and I am better than him.He just has speed which is an advantage.
-she stands up but a bit wobbly-
Promise me you won't help me during the fight. It won't help anything. It shows I depend on others. I need to prove my parents wrong.

 

[Souji]

... I like your confidence, Gizelo, but you can't always be ready or everything. *Cedric supports her as she tries to stand up*

Don't hesitate to call on any of us for help. It's cool that you want to prove your parents wrong, but don't die in the process... if we stand there and do nothing...

Hey, you should sit back down. Your legs are still weak.

 

[Bluetwilight]

Gizelo: I won't die as long as I have my blood.
-she carefully sits back down-

 

[Souji]

*Cedric stays quiet. He continues to push Gizelo around the Academy*

 

[Bluetwilight]

Gizelo: -she needs her stone. She wants to walk.- Cedric please take me to my room

 

[Souji]

Yeah, ok. Mind giving me some directions? I've never been to your room before, heh...
