James released a long-suffering sigh from Andy’s bedside, fingers pinching the bridge of his nose, as Waverly all but launched herself at the Doctor. Just freshly awoken and healed, the first thing someone, anyone did, was launch the offensive. He should have expected it honestly. Waverly wouldn’t have been his first bet—she suffered Max all this time and hadn’t put him in the ground yet—but apparently five months in cryostasis changed a woman. James decided he didn’t want anything to do with this conflict. Sunshine certainly had plenty of time to help him understand how poorly received his meddling was and wasn’t quite ready to burn bridges with the doctor who helped him save everyone. He had enough headaches to juggle anyways so he turned his attention to the next person that needed a pick up. 

And then his stupidly beautiful boyfriend decided to one up Waverly. 

James froze at Sapphire’s voice, the hand reaching for Kristina stopping halfway as every muscle in his body tensed. Nothing could eclipse the relief and excitement that accompanied the Mutant Underground’s awakening but James couldn’t deny that Sapphire’s reappearance threatened to overwhelm the incredibly fragile mental balancing act James had learned to maintain in the time the Underground had been sleeping. He wasn’t ready to face the feelings, or lack thereof, he harbored about Sapphire’s death and hearing her was almost more than he could handle so instead, he ignored her. She was there, he couldn’t do anything about that, but he could do his damndest to focus on his work. He reached out like the others, took her hand, and let his healing factor get to work.

Once he’d finished Kristina, he moved quickly between Zari and Havok. He didn’t really know Zari, the little techno gremlin as aggressive as Sunshine, but Havok… was someone James really didn’t know how to face. At the time, James had been murderously frustrated with the idiot, pointlessly endangering the Mutant Underground because the woman he loved couldn’t [i]possibly[/i] want to leave him. That James hadn’t known what it was like to have the one you loved right in front of you but not able to do anything about it. He couldn’t claim he’d have acted any more rationally that he had.
