The Raven Calls
Uná was about to let Joseph have it with everything she had. She'd picked her foot up to stalk after him when Nik held her in place and told her that she didn't need to get worked up over him. Her eyes flashed with temper that would make an Irish woman proud, and she felt something fall away and dissolve inside her. She was so self conscious and she saw his worry and was able to dial it back down. She looked at Nik then at Nathan and then horrified the scene played back in her head. She looked so shocked and horrified at her behavior that if Nik had not been holding her she would have run from the room. As it is he felt the jerk as the fight of flight response kicked in. Nik's worry combined with Nathan's look of utter hopeless longing was too much. Uná could feel it pressing in on her and started hyperventilating. She could feel it rise up making eye contact with Nik then Nathan a look of pure terror on her face she passed out.
Walking back into the room, Joseph reappeared with a snarl as his face as he raised a hand, words tumbling out of his mouth. "You know what! You don't even know me, you have no ri-" He stopped watching Uná crumble towards the floor before teleporting as he slid underneath her, cradling her head before it hit the ground. "Yo!" Joseph yelled, waving for the Nurse to come nearer. "Hey, we need some help here!" Looking up, the nurse suddenly rushed over as she helped Joseph lift Uná onto a nearby bed.
"I believe she went into shock."
Nik was holding her when she fell over. He wasn’t used to this sort of behavior, only able to slow her down as she fell before Joseph rushed in to save the day. Nik took a step back, his eyebrows raised not only at Una but Joseph. He wasn’t sure that Joseph was one to actually help or save anyone. Guess he was wrong. The mutant waited for the nurse to come over and aid the situation, kneeling down next to Una and Joseph to check her for a pulse and ensure she was alright.
"She's breathing." Joseph said to Nik, although he was mostly reassuring himself. "Fuck." He muttered a hand going to his forehead as he pushed back a strand of wavy hair before tucking it behind his ear. "This is my fault," He continued to speak in a hushed tone. "If I hadn't- fuck." He cursed again. "I always screw things up."
Nik raised an eyebrow. He was not expecting to be the rational one in this situation. “How exactly did you fuck up, Casanova? Thought you gave her a heart attack with your wavy hair and lack of a shirt?” The mutant rolled his eyes. “I think it’s a condition related to her powers... or at the very least, one that exacerbates them.” Nik’s eyes darted back to Una. What she had said about her powers... he damn well hoped they didn’t flare up now.
"People always get hurt around me." Joseph snapped back. "It's been happening my whole life.
She got upset because of me, and now she's in a coma." He continued, "But hey, if you want to keep making this a pissing contest, then by all means, let's go."
"WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT CUNT!!!" Isaac's voice came down the hall.
"Oh here we go again," Joseph spat as he looked towards the door.
Nik sighed, falling back into a sitting position next to the two. His eyes locked with Joseph’s. “Just not a fan of arrogant assholes who think the world revolves...” The voice down the hall put Nik on the defensive, reaching into his pocket to pull out more marbles. He was getting real tired of the people at this school, and he was not about to be caught with his pants down, so to speak.
"What sort of damage can you do?" Joseph asked Nik, his eyes still looking towards the door.
Looking half again as tall and twice as built 'Isaac' rounds the corner to the hall leading to the infirmary. He has a twisted wicked looking grin on his face. "WHERE IS THE LITTLE SPRITE!!!!!"
He gave a small smile. “Let’s just say... I like to go out with a bang...” He then mentally high-fived himself. And then the smile faded when Nik saw a much larger Isaac. He seemed bigger before... regardless, if was worth a shot. An energized marble was flung at Isaac, a decent concussive blast detonating as it impacted Isaac’s skin.
"Alright you hit low," Joseph muttered as he broke into a run, disappearing only to appear in the air as he drove both of his feet at Isaac's chest. "I'll hit high!" He yelled.
'Isaac' is blown backwards and stops 30 ft down the hall. He shakes off the blast and grins his teeth like pointed knives and his voice deepens as he laughs menacingly. 'Isaac' lunges for Joseph and catches Joseph's shirt and flings him at Nik. 'Isaac' comes barreling down the hall running right for Nik.
Teleporting before he impacts with Nik, Joseph reappears behind the other teen as he gritted his teeth, landing hard as he slide across the infirmary floor. "Ow." He moaned, slumped against the room's wall. "We need to get him out of here."
Nathan panics as Uná falls unconscious. He rushes to her side and like the others tries to make sure she's okay. As he slouches down toward her his ribs throb, forcing him to drop into a seated position on the floor. All of a sudden, Isaac comes into the room. He looks different, but Nathan rages at the sight of the man. The other guys jump into action and caused the oddly shaped Isaac to fly down the hall with a crash. Chaos ensued. Nathan looked down at Uná and brushed her hair out of her face with concern. That concern furthered his rage. He wouldn't hold back this time. Forcing himself up off the floor Nathan reached his arms out towards Isaac as the others were in a vulnerable situation. His powers...they weren't working. It's as though Isaac wasn't really there.
A light bulb went off in his head and he remembered Uná's words on the way here. She mentioned that she manifests illusions in her sleep. That they seem real and can interact. This wasn't Isaac at all...it was from Uná's mind. He had to find a way to wake her up. He dropped back down to his knees with a moan of sharp pain. He placed his hands under Uná's head and caressed her cheeks. "Uná...You need to wake up." He said as he brushed her hair behind her ear with his fingers. "It's me...Nathan. Can you hear me? We need you to wake up."
"Uh, bad guy's over there." Joseph stated giving Nathan a confused look as he watched the other male try to wake up Uná "Protecting her is a bit more important than waking her at the moment."
"That's not Isaac. It's an illusion Joseph...Uná's powers allow her to create illusions, but only when she's unconscious. If you look Isaac is different from before...physically. He isn't real...well not real real."
"So what will waking her up do?" Joseph asked, impatience evident in his voice as he eyed 'Isaac' out of the corner of his eye as the large teen came closer.
"I think it'll make him disappear." He gulped, unsure of himself. "She said that the illusions only work when she's asleep. If we wake her up he'll vanish. That's the hope at least."
"Oh well if that's all." Joseph muttered as he jumped to his feet, running to Uná before Nathan or Nik could stop him as the pair suddenly disappeared from the infirmary, loud splash eching outside as Joseph and Uná reappeared above the pool before the pair were suddenly plunged into the water.
Walking back into the room, Joseph reappeared with a snarl as his face as he raised a hand, words tumbling out of his mouth. "You know what! You don't even know me, you have no ri-" He stopped watching Uná crumble towards the floor before teleporting as he slid underneath her, cradling her head before it hit the ground. "Yo!"
