Nick hadn't been feeling well the past few days. At first he thought it was the weather playing with him. Even before he became a mutant he'd always been sensitive to temperature changes. Before they'd just give him a headache but this seemed way beyond his body affected by weather. His muscles felt sore and achy and sometimes he was certain he could hear and feel things that didn't exist. Was he going insane?
Finally New Years day he woke with a fever and his whole body feeling on fire. It had taken him hours to get himself out of bed, dressed and down to the infirmary. Nick, normally used to going faster than sound, was not used to feeling as brittle as old bone. Clutching the rail, he eased himself downstairs and bent over, clutching his stomach (it hurt everywhere but that seemed like the best place to hold himself together) he staggered to the infirmary.
"Josh," he gasped leaning against the door jamb. But Josh wasn't there, Sabbah was. Crap, he'd forgotten that the good Dr. Sadeeqi was working at Haven a couple days a week now. And here he was looking dog sick and like shit. There went his cool and his cred. "Afternoon, doctor. Fancy meeting you here," he joked weakly. "I just came down to shoot the shit with Josh but since he isn't here, I'll be going now."
He turned to leave and instead wound up on the floor staring at the ceiling and the dancing ducks with umbrellas whirling over his head. "Not again."
