Tommy watched her lean forward and place her palms along his head. When that that cold touch came he felt something else. It was like staring at a strobe light flickering at a thousand times faster than he ever thought imaginable. His first impulse was to jerk back then run far away. But, that just wouldn’t do. He’d promised her access and if this was the price to pay for it, then so be it. He could feel his memories jerking about inside his head as she went over every moment of his life. When she addressed his past with the Juvie hall he jerked in real pain. That was a time of his life he tried hard to forget. God would this ever be over?!
As she at last came unglued from his mind Tommy fell back too. His face was covered in sweat and he felt like he was going to be sick. IT had been hard not to run with his mind in speed mode. It was almost painful trying to keep himself away from his mutant natural talent. God, for a moment there he wanted to die.
Slowly Tommy twisted over to Jean and crawled to where she lay on her bed. He crumbled his arms around her shaking body and said nothing. There wasn't anything to say. They had gotten what she wanted. He just hoped that was the end of it.
