James had no words. He stared for a long time at the now missing portal. His future plans all included that being the end of that ordeal and getting people cleaned up, back into bed, and medicated as quickly as possible. This he had not expected and everything just went quiet in his head as he processed Sunshine’s newest bout of stupidity and selfishness. Her outlet for her grief included manipulating an emotionally compromised man into killing off some she disliked at the expense of people she didn’t hate, arguably even tolerated in Jack’s case. He couldn’t look away from where the others were getting into God knows what, how their illness was changing without someone there to help, how a grief stricken Colossus probably snapped Max in half by now, and who knows if the police were already there. 

Now that he started thinking about it, the blue screen in his head finished rebooting and the only thing left was anger. A small part of him was proud―twisting your friends against your enemies? What a power move!―but it was easily overwhelmed by the betrayal. Sunshine had it hard, he knew, but what excused this? What excused petty revenge, excused being responsible for the likely death or capture of their allies, excused any of this? That was their way to safety and her inability to think of anyone but herself just… James had no idea how to even respond to this. He could feel the fury trembling in his hands as he supported Casper who he realized was talking about horns or something. His boyfriend and Luna still needed taking care of and Sunshine would probably sequester herself away with Magik’s corpse or something. So, he made an executive decision about Sunshine.

Do nothing.

They’ll get through to him and explain to him that she succumbed to M-Pox.”[/color] James assured Luna, even if he didn’t believe they’d be okay. [color=mediumspringgreen]“I don’t know what you saw babes and we can talk about it in a little bit but right now, we need to get you cleaned up and in bed with some medicine, okay? Some rest after all that will do everyone good. Negasonic, I know you’ve probably got other stuff going on but would you mind helping Luna upstairs real quick? At least so she can get cleaned up and then I can get her some medicine too.”[/color] At least one thing went relatively right. He sighed at that and started heading upstairs to get Casper and himself cleaned off. He was sick of smelling vomit on everyone.
