"Right before I gave him a first hand look at what happens to the human body when placed inside of a glorified pressure cooker. He shouldn't have cut my research budget." Despite all of the clean lines of the hospital, it would suddenly become quite clear to them all - Doctor Nemesis was [i]a bad guy[/i]. He was a supervillain running a medical ward. They were lucky he hadn't done some horrible experiments to them and instead had simply assisted James in getting them back to full strength. 	

	[color=ed145b]"Ya really should go to the ceremony, it ain't everyday that mutants get to be celebrated for doing something selfless,"[/color] Renegade urged, glancing over at Waverley. [color=ed145b]"We just want ta thank ya."[/color]

	Doctor Nemesis laughed though at Waverley - not a laugh of astonishment or shock, or even mockery, but one of malice. "I would sleep with one eye open, if I were you. Or don't. We've been sourcing our anesthetics from the island of Krakoa, they're extremely potent," he warned cryptically. Nemesis then popped his eyeball out of its pocket and polished it off quickly, before popping it back in. "As for you - don't make a habit of haunting my facility" Nemesis warned Sapphire's ghost. 

	Veil hadn't wanted to talk to anyone or see anyone. She had just wanted to be alone with her grief, her guilt, and her frustration. She loved her brother, but even as he hummed that old melody, one that had brought her comfort as a child, it fell short. Her best friend had been dead for [i]months[/i]. Sapphire had sacrificed herself for Xavier's dream - a dream Veil didn't know if she believed in anymore, or more of, whether or not she believed in the dreamer. 

	But hearing Sapphire return from the land of the dead... that got through to her. 

	Veil flickered back into visibility, her messy hair somehow a thousand percent messier than it had been moments ago. She stared at Sapphire's glowing blue form - like Sapphire was a hologram from Star Wars. Veil couldn't help but burst into tears, the sound of her sobs only eliminated thanks to her brother's sound wave manipulation. [color=935DB8]"Sapphire!"[/color] Veil exclaimed, wiping away tears. She was smiling even as it hurt. [color=935DB8]"...Why'd you do it? Why'd you sacrifice yourself like that for us?"[/color] she asked quietly. [color=935DB8]"You had so much to--"[/color]

	Veil was cut off however, as Havok regained consciousness. As much as his vision was extremely blurry, his hearing was working just fine and he had heard enough. Even as his voice sounded like it belonged to an old man, Havok made up for it with volume. [color=FAFD95]"What the hell, Sapphire?! Get your ass over here so I can smack you for dying on me! Right after confessing love to me! Damnit!"[/color]

	Sunshine was beaming, seeing that Sapphire was there. This had been one thing that she was looking forward to in particular - Casper could conjure up the dead, let them see them again. He could bring back Sapphire - he could even bring back Erg. As much as Sunshine decided she hated the X-Men and humans, she adored Sapphire even more. Sapphire was a martyr for mutants all across the world, a symbol of defiance against humanity. She wanted to know what Sapphire thought about Genosha. 

	And a small part of her wanted to know if Sapphire approved of her fiancée as well. [color=#DAF7A6]"It's about time you showed up,"[/color] she told Sapphire, her characteristic I-hate-you-but-I-really-love-you tone as strong as ever. It wasn't that different from the way she had greeted Max when he woke up again. Only in Max's case, Sunshine would never admit that she loved and cared about him - it would have been too embarrassing for her. 

	[color=DBA1DE]"Yes, yes, she's back from the dead, huzzah,"[/color] Casper mumbled, his hands shaking slightly as he continued to allow Sapphire to pierce the veil. He would have preferred to talk about the weird sticky tennis ball thing that had flown into the room than go over the circumstances of a tragic death. He lived his life surrounded by dead people. With the exception of Ben, he preferred to keep his distance. And he didn't think that Sapphire was going to be the sort of ghost he wanted hanging over him all the time. 

	[i]"You could be a little more tactful,"[/i] Ben pointed out. [i]"She just died."[/i]

	[color=DBA1DE]"It's July, she's been dead for a while,"[/color] Casper argued. [color=DBA1DE]"I don't think she wants to hang around here all day. She's probably got better things to do, like slapping Walt Disney around for not making Elsa a Disney Princess sooner!"[/color] His hands were shaking more and more. [color=DBA1DE]"Not to rush you or anything, Sapphire, but unless someone has a magic quarter, the meter's about to run out."[/color]
