Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gretchen stumbled upon Masika and Larusa, (I am assuming they are about town not at x-men institute) she slowed down as she saw them.

“Tempest?” she said softly noting the Larusa girl holding her up, “s**t,” she cursed running towards them and helping Larusa hold Masika up.

She was tall not as tall as Polaris but still tall and strong from sword fighting, “what the hell happen?” she snapped at Larusa, “aren’t you Sumina’s sister? Oh great Sumina did this didn’t she? That girl is way out of control.”

Kitty finally made it into town it was still early, she had a cup of coffee in her hand from the small diner who recognized her immediately despite having only stopped once. She chatted with the hostess and waitress for a few minutes while waiting on her hot caramel coffee with milk. They were shocked to hear who her aunt was and referred to her as ‘that old crab?” before they realized it. It only made Kitty laugh and agree with them ‘yup that one’.

Now she was walking about the small town learning where the shops were, food places, movie theatre, etc. She saw some police cruise roar by her with sirens blaring and briefly wondered what happened before continue on her way. She finally came up to a hospital, looking up at it she shivered. She was terrified of hospitals since she was a child and, she shook her head clearing it of its thoughts.

The hospital was large but plain and simple on the outside, a side entrance revealed where ambulance came and went, a large sign pointed to the direction of the ER, another sign for maturity and another for visitors and parking. A standard hospital which looked clean, safe and almost inviting to anyone but to Kitty it looked dark, menacing, forbidding and dangerous.

She hated hospital and she wouldn’t even step into the school clinic. Nosocomephobia her shrink had called it, her shrink who had to come to her house for her session because she couldn’t even walk into physicist office. She who took six months to even meet her shrink, all the sessions had been done over the phone because she was also terrified of doctors of any kinds. The first time she had met her shrink had been peeking into the living room where the woman was and talking to her from the hallway for another two months before she would even step into the same room.

And medical doctors…forget it, her mother had to take nursing courses and get a certificate so she could take of her medical wise such as giving stitches when she hurt herself playing or from a broken arrow string, draw blood to send to the labs for routine bloodwork, giving her check-ups and consult with a doctor over the phone to get medications for when she was sick. She wondered by her mother had never hated her for all the trouble she put her through.

Her grandmother had been field nurse in the Vietnam war, so when she had gone to live with her, her grandmother could continue her medical care when needed but it wasn’t often, she rarely had gotten sick and she learned how to stitch and patch herself up whenever her bow string snapped or she got injured in a fight at school.

Kitty shook her head clearing it of its current thoughts and turned her back on the hospital feeling its presence against her back as she walked away.

Gretchen shrugged, “ya we live together but no I don’t know where she is at the moment probably somewhere with that David guy if I had to guess. Look we need to get Tempest here back home to her people. I can help you get her to the gates of her home and after that those who live with her can help. I am not allow on her property. And why are you so fixed on your sister, doesn’t she like hate you?”

Gretchen adjust Masika slightly to make it more comfortable for the both of them to share her weight and get her back to the x-men institution where she hoped she wasn’t jumped on and taken prisoner. Brotherhood and X-men didn’t have a good history and they wouldn’t understand why she of her people was helping one of the x-men students.

Gretchen nodded in understanding, “I see. Well the best way to make up with her is living with her though she will probably be pissed at the fact and would probably completely ignore you but with time she will go from ignoring you to maybe talking to you, etc etc plus with group training she wouldn’t have much choice. Also she and you could learn more about each other just by living in the same place even without interaction. I have learned a lot from those I live with just by their actions. Maybe over time your relationship with her can mend. The Brotherhood is a family, we take care of our own and protect each other from the humans who would kill us if they knew what we could do. Polaris saved my life from the humans, I would be dead if not for her. After we drop off Masika at home and safe with her people why don’t you come back with me. I’ll give you a tour and introduce you to Polaris.”

Gretchen held most of Masika’s weight as they steadily made their way through back roads and wooden areas to avoid detection to the x-men home.

Larusa looked hopefully up at Gretchen. "Really? You think they will let me stay? I... I can't do much." She said softly, readjusting Masika. She looked up at Gretchen one more time. "Well, if you'll have me. I'll stay as long as I can until my sister forgives me." She said almost determinedly. She would get Sumina to forgive her.
