Forge had lost an arm since Polaris had been gone, the glimmering metal replacement was visible. He'd gotten osmium alloy to make his arm and leg out of, they'd last a long time before they needed replaced. Lorna hugged him and he carefully hugged her back. "A lot has changed indeed. I lost my arm after getting captured some time ago."
Charles was one of the most perceptive people Forge had ever met, he knew the man had been both exhausted and injured recently, having been pushed to his mutant limits and forced to use the medical nanites again. "You always could tell when I was hurt, Professor. Didn't want the others to worry, there's enough of that to go around already." He'd told Storm the extent of the damage he'd sustained against the Hellfire Club, his prosthetic leg socket was cracked and needed replaced, he didn't have free range of movement and it'd gotten infected which had made things worse. The guy who built the shiny tech being a patient of Medbay was cause for concern.
"I need to go lay down for a little bit, if I'm needed I'll be in the Medbay. It was nice talking to you Lorna, welcome back." He gave his usual salute before taking out an extendable crutch Forge limped back inside heading for the medical facility hoping Hank wasn't upset he'd waited so long to seek medical attention. With the removal of his leg and fractured socket he hoisted himself into the healing tank, letting Ororo know what was happening.
