Who: Leia, Logan, Laura, Kitty
Broadcast: N/A
Action: The Starlight Station
When: Nowish (but leaving it flexible)

[A small group of people who want to make bad life decisions have gathered in a more-or-less private space they scouted on the station. They're all recent-ish arrivals who don't like the idea of the augments, and certainly don't trust them.

They've heard stories about impossible impeding fear and unbearable pain, but they aren't easily stopped by either concept. Some things you have to see and do and know for yourself. Besides, they have mutants with healing powers and built-in hand-scalpes and one with the ability to disrupt electronics with a touch. Not to mention a woman with force abilities. What could possibly go wrong?]

[Nomi kept her breathing steady, light streaming from her palms and working to stabilize the injury. The worst of it was over, but it wasn't fully healed. The cuts had been extremely fine, almost scalpel like. It was interesting, and it raised questions, but Luke's entrance forestalls them.]

We're not telepaths.

[She looks up, sweat beading on her forehead, focusing on Laura.]

Don't worry. We can communicate with one another, through the Force. Reading thoughts isn't something we can do to the unwilling.

[Her eyes turn to Luke and Leia.]

She's stable, I'll do what I can, but this wound isn't going to heal quickly. Feels like a vibro-scalpel.

[Kitty couldn't really answer Laura's question. She'd seen the Leia in the prison use the Force once. She would have called it telekinesis based on that example. She also didn't have the reasons to distrust telepaths that Laura had not that she knew more than the surface of what she'd been through. Maybe none of it since who knows if she was even the same Laura.

But the answer comes quickly and with it a fresh pang of guilt seeing Luke. He's been nothing but kind to her. Too kind at times. She was the reason the four of them were together here today that led to the stabbing. Oh, other combinations may have made bad life choices, but she made it a party.]

Thank you. [She says it to Nomi with a nod. She sees the sweat. It must be straining to heal someone else. If Leia hasn't called for help on the Force Kitty would probably still be on the network trying to get someone down here in the time this took. She glances from Leia to Luke to Laura before stepping back toward the other person in the room and crouching down beside Logan. There's a lot of blood, but everything is in the process of knitting itself back together. She reaches down to brush some of his hair back from where it flipped forward on his face.]

[Leia squeezes Luke's hand--with less strength than she usually boasts, but enough to say I'm still here.]

Claws...actually.

[She winces with every movement, but at least she can speak--Logan could easily have punctured a lung if he'd wanted to. Speaking of whom, her gaze moves past Nomi and Luke to Logan, lying prone on the floor. Let Kitty see to him. She's not sure she's up to anything at this point besides falling asleep.]

[girlverine]

[Jedi. The word meant nothing to her, really. Or the force. But while she wasn't getting any lying vibes, she didn't know any of these people enough to trust that, so she took another unconscious half-step backwards as they worked, stepping closer to Kitty and Wolverine.]

We were attempting to remove Logan's augment. [She explained as the question of what had stabbed Leia came up. It gave her something else to focus on for a moment. She absently started to wipe the blood that was still covering her hand off on her pant leg.]

He did not react to it well.

[shishkebub]

[Speaking of reacting, Logan was beginning to come to. He let out a tired groan and lifted one arm to rest it on his forehead. He was awake and he was listening, but he was making no effort to stand or even look to see what was going on. If she was dead, he would have known. He could always smell death.]

[t65]

Claws. [Luke's voice is a bit... mournful. He'd expected this; he's seen wounds like this before. He looks over to Logan for a moment, before looking back to his sister.] What happened?

[From how he talks, she's the only person in the room.]

[seaoflight]

[Nomi continues her work, sweat coming more and more profusely as she works to dull the pain now. The wound was closed, but that wasn't the end of a medic's job. Comfort, addressing pain, that came next. Reaching out, she gently pressed energy into each synapse, letting the Force guide her.

When she does speak it's strained from effort, and distant.]

I...can see that. Is he...alright? Does he need...treatment?

[passingthrough]

[Kitty withdraws her hand the moment there's a sign of stirring from Logan and watches him. Seems like he's back to himself, but she's ready to put him back down if she needs to.]

No treatment. He heals fast. [And even if Kitty isn't looking at Nomi right now, she can hear the signs of continued stress for what she's already doing for Leia.

As for Luke's question, she's not sure what to say that Laura hasn't already said. Oh, there's more of course, but it doesn't feel like hers to tell. She'll let Leia speak for what happened to her if she has the energy to do so.]

Later.

[She says it to Luke, giving him the most reassuring smile she has left and squeezing his hand again. It's a long story, and she's nowhere near up for telling the whole thing right now. Everything else, she feels like she's watching from behind a pane of glass. It doesn't feel nearly as immediate or reachable as the warmth of Luke's hand or Nomi's healing--and even the latter seems a little distant to her.]
