Ready for a fight

[Nightcat]

Liz: I do not know vhat Var ist. I have alvays been sheltered in the vays of the outside vorld.

[Falco]

Well, search my memories, you will find out....

*sits down on the step*

[Nightcat]

Liz: Ok. You vill need to lie down.

(Liz knees on the ground, making a place on her knees for Ryan to put his head.)

[Falco]

*lays down, his head on her knees* ready?

[Nightcat]

(Liz nods. She places both hands on either side of Ryan's head and pushes into his mind. She finds the memories of war almost immediately due to their recent awakening. She sees two young men walking beside a large metal vehical. Liz figures that it must be a tank. She knows that one of the men is Ryan and the other is someone who is like a brother. She can tell this due to their stances and how they look at each other. The tank stops at a building and the two men go to the door and try to open it. The next thing Liz sees and hears are a blinding flash and screams. When the dust settles, Liz sees both men on the ground. Ryan wakes up and starts to crawl toward his "brother". He shakes him a few times and calls his name. Suddenly Ryan shakes his own head and starts to shout the other man's name and He starts to cry. Liz can sense the sadness and shame that Ryan has of not being able to help his friend. Liz tries to withdraw but is pulled along a long stream of other memories... , The man's funeral,... Ryan being shot at,... him being wounded, going back into battle,... other friends dieing..... Liz is finally able to withdraw from Ryan's mind. When she emerges, her eyes are the lifeless sage green once again and there are tears streaming down her face. When she speaks, it's in a flat, emotionless voice.)

Liz: So much death. How could you survive?

[Falco]

*tears down his face aswell*

I don't know, but i think while you were searching, everything you were looking at, i was reliving....

*feels dead inside....*

to answer your question... I dont know...... I didn't even think i WAS alive until I met Jade.....

[Nightcat]

(Liz just stares ahead but doesn't really see anything. She gasps and she teleports over to the bushes where she vomits violently. She returns to Ryan and Sonima. She just stares at Ryan with her sage, lifeless eyes for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes roll back as she faints.)

[Falco]

*tries to catch her but misses*

Sonima, can you, umm, clear the doorway for me?

*picks Liz's unconscious body up , waits for sonima to clear the door way*

[Sonima]

*Sonima clears a path for him*

Sonima: there you go

[Falco]

*brings liz up to her room*

[Mindcontrol]

(stands by the door)

Mindcontrol:So is Miss Crazy coming back (meaning Inferno)

[Shadowcat]

(Kitty and Christina are still standing. Christina is staring off into space, thinking to herself. Kitty turns around and sees Mindcontrol.)

Shadowcat: She said she would. But as of now, I think we're okay.

[ECKS]

. . .

ECKS: "We can only hope we're in the clear, Kitty. But for how long. This Inferno is startin' to be a real pain. In fact this whole thing really bugs me. Why is it that she wants the kid so bad anyway?"

(Turns and looks at Victor.)

ECKS: "No offense, kid, but what's so special about you that's got her all twisted in knots. Or do you even know why she has it in for ya?"

. . .

[8-ball]

8-ball: shes not trying to hurt me when i came out her nightcat was the one attacking her she just called me for help

[Shadowcat]

(Kitty couldn't help but roll her eyes. {8-Ball must still be under Inferno's control} she thought.)

Shadowcat: 8-Ball, if only you knew what she was doing the minute you left. She hasn't changed. She threatened all of us and almost burned down the entire mansion.
