Who: Betsy Braddock & Matt Murdock When: 1st August, 2009 Where: Xavier's School: Betsy & Terry's Room What: Betsy tries to sleep in her own bed for the first time in nearly two weeks and fails. Rating: PG-13
As soon as she had been released from the infirmary - after loudly proclaiming that she was done with needles and the poking and prodding - Betsy had kicked Theresa out of their room and had locked herself in. Her poor roommate was just going to have to deal with living somewhere else for the time being, because Betsy didn't want to be around people right then.
Someone had been kind enough to put the pictures of her family that she had been looking at away - probably Terry - and had cleaned up the mess that the Weapon X people had caused when they had done searching room to room. She hadn't been there when they had come, so it had remained relatively untouched, though they had to replace the door with a new one when they had broken it down.
Betsy wasn't concerned over material possessions though, as she laid on her bed - staring out the window with her new eyes and letting her mind wander. No, her mind was curiously blank as she laid there. She couldn't deal with everything that was happening to her, to the school and its residents. Her parents' deaths, the assassination attempt, Weapon X...no, it was too much one person to handle, let alone a teenager, so it was just best to not think at all.
Closing her eyes, she tried to fall asleep and failed. Too many images of what she had experienced in this past year haunted her with every attempt at sleep. What would happen next, was the question.
