	"Thank you, Firestorm, for being helpful," Dr. Reyes said pointedly. The Amelias had picked up the unconscious Avengers and gotten them onto tables, and Firestorm had handled both Flynn and Oliver. No one else had moved a muscle to help, something that rather irked the doctor. She didn't like people hanging around in the Healing Gardens and making it difficult for her to work; and she especially didn't like it when they refused to do the one task she had requested of her. "If you drag her out, Wolverine, please be quick and quiet about it - a lot of these people are in bad shape."

	Cerebella had left the Healing Garden already at a run, having went off to fetch the people Dr. Reyes had requested - Sage and Prodigy. The other X-Men left as well, going into the [i]Waiting Grove[/i] - a natural clearing of sorts outside the tree and plant canopies that sealed off the Healing Gardens. 

	Bonnie hesitated for a moment, before sitting on a table herself. [color=f6989d]"I'm pregnant and I died,"[/color] Bonnie said, when Dr. Reyes looked in her direction - her injuries, if any, were not visible. 

	"Noted," Reyes said. Reyes held out her right hand, and closed her eyes for a moment. There was a slight shimmering golden light that enveloped Bonnie, shrinking and shrinking until it seemed to go inside of her. Then, Reyes opened her eyes again, the light vanished. "Your baby girl is healthy and strong. I don't feel any internal injuries on you either."

	[color=f6989d]"... Thank you,"[/color] Bonnie said, her eyes watering for a moment. It had felt so odd - whatever Dr. Reyes' power was, it was like there had been a tiny bit of warm pressure inside of her body, gentle yet firm. Knowing that her child was safe and healthy was a relief, even if it wasn't something that Flynn could share with her right now - and perhaps never again. She had been widowed before; it wasn't the first time she had lost the man she loved. But it was even more than knowing that her child was safe - she hadn't known her child's assigned gender until that moment. They were having a girl - a baby girl - a daughter. 

	Bonnie hopped off of the table, staring at Flynn for a moment, as if willing some shred of recognition from him; but then she sighed and left the Healing Gardens, entering the Waiting Grove. 

	Dr. Reyes then turned to her remaining patients, quickly diagnosing the obvious issues; Matt was visibly bleeding from his forehead, Flynn had two broken legs, and Oliver had a gigantic wound in his chest with a still partially impaled object. "Stay still," Reyes told Oliver, pulling a vial out of her pocket, and then loading it into a fresh syringe. She injected him with the dark scarlet substance, and then closed her eyes. Holding her left hand out, a warm glowing bubble seemed to envelope the stick. With her right hand, Reyes then yanked the stick out, letting it fall onto the ground at her feet. The yellow bubble stayed in place, acting as a dam of pressure, preventing traumatic blood loss and further damage. And miraculously, Oliver's skin began to knit back together; whatever Reyes had injected him with was working like magic. Within moments, his wound had closed; the yellow bubble vanished. Oliver would feel incredibly sore, but thoroughly alive. 

	Reyes then walked over to Matt, and took a syringe with an oddly green paste in it. "This'll sting," she warned him, before placing a thin layer of the green paste along his wounds. It would be a cool burning sensation, but just like how Oliver's wounds had knit themselves back together, Matt's wounds would begin to seal and heal. 

	She then went to her last conscious patient - Flynn. Reyes stared at him for a moment, as if debating something. "I need to give you something for the pain," she said. She pulled a purple vial out, loaded her syringe with it, and injected Flynn with it. Instantly, his entire body would feel numb; mentally, it would have the side effect of making him a bit loopy and deliriously giggly. "Stay still," Reyes said, holding out both hands above Flynn. Tiny little yellow bubbles appeared, before disappearing inside of his legs - and then suddenly, the bones were popped back into place. While broken, they were at least set. Reyes then injected him with another vial of the same dark red liquid she had used on Oliver, and his bones began to knit themselves back together. "No walking for at least an hour," she warned him. 

	"Same goes for you - no movement for an hour," she said, looking at Oliver. "Wolverine's blood is powerful, but your bodies are still weak."

[b][color=84B4E2]The Waiting Grove[/color][/b] - 

	The X-Men, minus Wolverine and Firestorm, and plus Destiny, Rogue, Mystique, Folly, and Gambit, had more or less made their own little group in the Waiting Grove, sitting on some natural stone benches. They were discussing amongst themselves their strange visitors; most of all the return of Ragnarok, the once leader of the X-Men whom most of them had believed to be dead. Eye-Boy kept having a few eyes glancing over at the group of reality refugees; unnervingly, his eyes didn't all move in unison. 

	On the other set of stone benches, the Secret Warriors (and Aero) were more or less gathered. [color=d86615]"Eye-Boy is staring at us,"[/color] Raynor said with a sigh. He was standing, his back turned to the X-Men. It was weird to him to see that group. He had almost grown used to the X-Men of Earth-666, a group of spunky kids following Xavier's dream of assimilation. It was weird to see the X-Men of his home reality again, a covert black ops group working for the Genoshan government. It was weirder still to realize that Flynn was the pudgy little kid who used to follow him around; [i]Magneto's[/i] kid. 

	"I can't look at him without feeling like I'm about to puke," Darcy admitted, wringing her hands nervously. "Is it just me or is it suuuper hot here? Like, feels like I'm boiling? No? Just me? Yay," Darcy rambled. She had never been to Genosha before and while Firestorm had mentioned some humans lived here, Darcy had grown up in the country the X-Men had committed genocide in. She couldn't help but feel uncomfortable and scared around them. 

	[color=FFB795]"Nah mate, it's fucking frigid,"[/color] Amelia complained, rubbing her shoulders. Aero was making practically an identical motion. "Don't s'pose any of you all have the power to make a decent coat appear, huh?" Aero asked, shaking her head. It was late at night in November here; of course it was freezing. And while Aero was wearing a superhero costume, it was built to be lightweight and easy to move in; and not necessarily something that was going to keep someone warm outside in winter for long periods of time. 

	[color=f6989d]"Do you know if they still have Cerebro in this world?"[/color] Bonnie asked, her mind as always on the mission. It was easier to think about finding Doom and Luminous than it was to consider the possibility her fiancé was lost forever. [color=f6989d]"Telepaths could solve both our problems - partition our minds and find the fugitives,"[/color] Bonnie reasoned. 

	[color=d86615]"Far as I know, Chuck never takes the stupid helmet off,"[/color] Raynor explained. [color=d86615]"Assuming Doom and Lumy didn't do any anti-telepathy spells, I think that would work,"[/color] Raynor said, before looking over his shoulder at the X-Men again. Destiny was staring at them all behind her gold mask. Her stare sent a chill down his spine.
