Xavier was curious indeed about the "unconstructive actions" of this girl and the "affirming changes" being applied to her, not to mention why a security team was trained for this type of incident when Xavier wasn't under the impression the rest of the charges had powerful mutations. Just what "type of incident" was Director Becker meaning? Runaway "residents"? This particular one? Or volatile mutants in general? As Xavier was about to speak, the radio crackled. He listened and, along with everyone else near them, was rewarded with an assault to his ears. [color=#7393B3]"Let us hope that is only an indication of your technology's serviceability after that glitch. I am aware the surrounding area is not so accommodating to mutants. It [i]is[/i] admirable for you to have constructed a facility for them to reside apart from that."[/color] Director Becker wasn't the only one who could say "all the right things". [color=#7393B3]"I'm not sure if Jean has mentioned my own experience with gifted youngsters,"[/color] -Becker's previous statement of "as I'm sure you understand" could've been acknowleding Xavier's status as a mutant himself- [color=#7393B3]"and I would like to offer my help with your charge. If you will excuse me now, however, I would like to check on my friend."[/color] Not that he needed to since two familiar minds were headed there right now -and there were likely maps, besides- Xavier played the part of the proper guest and asked of the doctor: [color=#7393B3]"Would you direct me to your medical facility?"[/color] He didn't say so, but he felt the doctor might be needed there shortly, anyway. [hr] Besides seeing how Scott was, Jean wanted to be able to speak with him non-telepathically; still getting over feeling off psychically. When she met him he was holding his wounds underneath his now unzipped jacket, trying to apply pressure as well as he could. There were more than she'd expected. [color=#DAA06D]"The medical centre isn't far."[/color] She took him, helping to apply pressure. Blood mixed with the water from the sprinklers as it cascaded to the floor. Xavier's voice came through their minds just then: [color=#7393B3][i]'I'm not liking what I just heard from the Director. It's imperative we find this girl again, preferably ahead of Umbra's security who I believe just had an encounter to the same result as yours, Scott. Hopefully only in terms of success. How are you?[/i][/color] [color=#0096FF][i]'Managing.'[/i][/color] [color=#DAA06D][i]'I'm just about to treat him.'[/i][/color] The water had ceased before the two arrived at the med centre. The chaos left the lightning to be desired, but it would have to do. Jean helped him off with his trench coat -worn to look less conspicuous- before he got up on the med table. His jacket and undershirt were next before she had him lie down; keeping pressure on his wounds while she used her telekinesis to bring over the supplies needed. Scott read something in her face. [color=#0096FF]"Is that sensation still hitting you hard?"[/color] He continued to breathe through the pain. [color=#DAA06D]"It's subsiding."[/color] That was good to hear. [color=#0096FF]"The kid said she'd been planning this too long to be stopped now. I'm sure the gate was still functional when I first got out there.[/color] [color=#DAA06D]"You think she used powers?"[/color] Off his pained nod, Jean mused out loud, [color=#DAA06D]"yet she used a gun to defend herself,"[/color] as she continued the treating of the damage that gun had caused. [color=#0096FF]"She must only be able to manipulate electronics. Has anything..like this, ever happened before?"[/color] Jean shook her head. [color=#DAA06D]"Nothing. I had no indication she was here."[/color] Scott could tell how that unsettled her; a young mind, clearly troubled, that Jean had missed picking up on entirely. Jean spoke another concern: [color=#DAA06D]"It's sounding likely she'll shoot again once you find her."[/color] [color=#0096FF]"Well if this place has an entire armoury, I'm betting there's a supply of tactical gear. I'll grab a vest. The map on the wall of security...indicated it was by 'Function Room D'."[/color] [color=#DAA06D]"I know where that is, but there are no other doors there."[/color] [color=#0096FF]"Sounds like something else they've made a point to hide,"[/color] he breathed. Xavier's voice sounded again: [color=#7393B3][i]'I'll see what I can find. I have a feeling I should apply myself more directly to this matter, so I will require one as well. Jean, if you could learn anything further and pass it along to us. We don't even know her name.'[/i][/color] Jean gave a mental confirmation. Xavier "disconnected" then and, not wanting the doctor to question why suddenly his interest went from the medical centre to "function room D", used his powers to make just a minor modification to her mind; making the doctor think she had already shown him the full way and was now of the mind to grab more medical supplies from a stock room. She would also think nothing of Scott not staying in medical a while.
