[There's a sad faced child sitting in a corner of the Heron's cargo bay. He's wearing the ship standard uniform and looks more than a little forlorn, although appearances as ever when it comes to Gemini are very deceptive. Nope, no shapeshifting assassins here, just a poor innocent child in need of help.]

[Private Audio To Charles Xavier]

Mister I'm here on your ship, you said I could come over and that you could help me.

[ Charles tries, but it's a struggle. He briefly closes his eyes, trying to get his panic under control. Breathe. It seems simple.

But his fingers tighten into fists as a quiet sob escapes. ]

You could have died

[ I could have died is not something Charles will voice, not in front of Erik. ]

[exothermia]

[Erik swallows, warding off the fear. He rubs Charles's shoulders.]

Yes. But I didn't. [And neither did you, which is the more important thing to Erik. He lets out a breath, and presses his fingers against Charles's back.] I'm glad you're all right.

[ He huffs, coughing lightly. ]

Me too.

[ Charles lets the silence settle for a bit, lost in his own thoughts. ]

I better get to my chair.

[exothermia]

Change into your other form - I'll take you to the medbay first.

You can stay in my room tonight, since I destroyed yours.

[axiomed]

[ He nods before switching his form. ]

What about you? She hit you rather hard.

[exothermia]

[He picks Charles up, placing the otter into the crook of his arm as he gets to his feet with a wince. It reminds him of another time years ago, when they'd had to flee from Winter's rampage.]

We'll check on my injuries too.

[axiomed]

[ Charles makes a small chirp of agreement as he clings to Erik's arm. ]
