After Fight

[Impulse]

Darren watched helplessly as King saved Claire from the lizard, and Claire stick her with a sedative. Darren wasn't able to help, but he was at least glad no one got hurt. His outstretch harm then fell painfully to the side off the bed he was one, once again unable to move it. "Agh!" He yelled as his arm fell in an uncomfortable position, almost coming out of its socket. He cringed a bit and tried to shrug off the pain.

"Damn this school sucks..." He said, thinking about all the drama and people looking for fights. He looked up at Claire and gave a pained grin. "I'll live I think. Thanks."

[Claire Realer-Wilson]

Claire held Darren's arm and got to work at using her power.
"So, I hear my brother fought with you..." Claire said, healing his body some more and placing his arm gently onto the bed.
"You'll be here for about a day, ok? I'll get you something to eat soon." She added as she tended to her wounds by applying a dressing.

[Impulse]

"I don't remember much of it. I just hope he's alright." Darren said, not having the energy to be his usualy tempermental self. He rolled his head to either side, trying to wake up a bit more.

"If you could get me a bacon cheeseburger, I'd be grateful." He said and grinned. One thing he could never get tired of was food.

[Claire Realer-Wilson]

"Hehe, well I'm afraid it's the groggy hospital food for you, mister." Claire joked as she got out the bottle of power dampening pills and placed it on the table.
"I know that this seems like a good idea to use, but trust me. You're better off controlling your power in your own way." Claire said as she slipped it into a bag and placed it next to him.

"If you get out of control, take two. But don't use them constantly. Or else you will suffer an overdose." She said as she winked and placed the bag with Darren's stuff.

[Impulse]

"Well..." Darren said, rotating his shoulder a bit now that he could move his body a bit more, though it was still sore. "I must admit living off those things sounds like a prime idea." He finished with a grunt as he sat up. He wasn't one to lye on his back often, mostly because he was used to sleeping sitting in a meditative trance. He rarely ever lied down.

"When do you suppose the power will come back?"

[meh]

Jack entered with Matt, carefully. He walked over to another bed and laid him down. "I'm not touching him anymore." Jack removed the blanket. He nodded to Claire then exitted again.

[Claire Realer-Wilson]

"An hour. Maybe two. Since you're awake now, you should have some control, right?" Claire asked, hoping this boy had enough control to keep safe.

She then saw her brother.
"I... I didn't even know who you were before..." She said, stroking her hadns through his hair.
"You have... kindness. I can feel it. I'm sorry... Sorry for being such a bitch to you." She said, tears falling from her eyes.

[Impulse]

((Patting yourself on the back much? :-p))

"I can control it... I hope. I usually don't have much trouble with it unless I'm knocked out or asleep..." He said, yawning and lying back down. He looked over to the other bed when Matt was brought in. "So you're related to the teachers pet?"

[Claire Realer-Wilson]

"Teacher's pet? Oh yeah, I'm the illegit daughter of their dad. So we're half siblings. Don't even know him though." Claire said as he got up.
"It's weird, cause I was so angry at him. For no particular reason, just that I blamed him for everything. I guess it was just the way I was blaming their... I mean, our dad." Claire said as she walked to Darren.

"And when do you care? Don't you two hate each other or something?" She asked.

[Impulse]

"I don't hate him. He's the first person that treated me with any respect." He said putting his hands behind his head. "I suppose I was being a bit of an ass when we got to class though. But the fight only started when he underestimated the experience I have with controlling power. I guess I just got angry from that. Don't remember much afterwards."

Darren looked up at Claire and sighed. "Don't understand why he didn't want me to help him really. Sure that King dude is a teacher, but he never had the kind of constant live or die training I've had. This thing I have threatens to kill me every day. There were a few times during my year stay in the Danger Room that a mutant healer needed to keep me alive... Kind of like today."

[Claire Realer-Wilson]

"Well, I know he absorbs powers, but I know that he can control them ok. But you... I'm shocked you survived. I know people that have died with powers weaker than yours. I'm sure that he knows you can do it, but like you said, teacher's pet!" Claire said, bringing orange juice to Darren.

"Drink. You need the vitamin C." She said.

[Impulse]

Darren took the orange juice and staired at it for a moment. "You've got to be kidding right?" He said, not drinking it yet. He rarely drank the stuff. Didn't like it too much. He looked back to her and decided to change the topic from the orange juice. "I've been learning to keep this thing under control since I was six. It's just a lot harder now. I took the cure a while back. Payed the price."

[Matthew Wilson]

Matt's eyes slowly opened as he looked up to see a white ceiling. He got up wearily and saw Claire with Darren.
"You ok there, buddy?" Matt asked, his voice a little weak, but he was ok. His body managed to heal itself just fine.
"You know you owe me a shirt?" He said, adding a little laugh as she looked to Claire.

"Hey... Sis." He said, the first time ever using the word.

[Claire Realer-Wilson]

"Yeah, i'm fine asshole!" Claire said as she slapped Matt across the head.
"What the hell are you doing picking fights for, huh? Got your ass kicked?" Claire said, as she shoved a glass of OJ to him.
"Drink fool!" She said as she smiled slightly.

"But you know... I kinda owe you an apology. You know, for the whole being a bitchy big sister thing. I'm not used to having a little brother." She said.

[Matthew Wilson]

"You call that bitchy? My ex was worse than you. And that was before she got high." Matt said as he drank his OJ. He looked to Darren.
"Sorry about you know, starting the whole fight to the death thing where we both nearly died." Matt said, grabbing some gauze to cover his hand and offering a shake to Darren.
