WHO: GABE and Mary WHAT: Gabe is feeling a bit demonic after killing one. WHERE: A random street, Manhattan WHEN: May 30, afternoon RATING: TBD
There was something depressing about going from flirting with a beautiful girl to feeling like your skin was on fire. He hadn't intended on going up against a demon when he had decided to stay in the city for the summer. However, no one really expects to see a demon attacking a young girl and he might have been a screw up but he was still Gambit and Rogue's son.
Unfortunately, because he was their son and believed in right and wrong, seeing the girl attacked had made him lose his cool. The demon was dead and he was very much not feeling like himself anymore. It would pass but just then he leaned heavily against the nearest stonewall.
"Thank you," called out the girl as she stepped closer to him. "Are you...are you okay?"
He shook his head. "No," he whispered hoarsely "Please...just go. I don't want to hurt you." Accidentally or not, he'd never be able to forgive himself.
"Is there anyone I can call?"
"No!" he yelled, his voice taking on the same tone as the demon's.
And then, there it was, the look of fear. It hurt almost as much as the burning. "Just go, Chere." he said again as he collapsed against the wall. Hopefully, he could ride it out unnoticed and without the urge to hurt anyone.
