Hiya guys!

Recap: "hey abilities...she's not showing us any memories...why?" Sean whispered.

"it could be what they dosed her with...something changed in her" Hank said softly.

"b...but what if it was..." Raven said trailing off.

"what?" Charles asked.

"A cure?" Raven asked. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kassidy's POV

My eyes snap open and sit up, I don't know why, but i screamed. Not a little scream, no, like a bloody murder kind of scream. My body, I never considered the pain i felt in my body until now. Charles grip my shoulders, forcing me down, making me choke back my screams. 

"Shhh, calm down, calm down" Charles whispered.

I feel calm waves going over my body and i close my eyes, sighing. Charles just keeps stroking my hair back, making me try to calm down. 

"her body is allowing me access" Charles said softly.

"you can read her mind now?" Erik whispered. 

"yes" Charles said softly. 

I whimper, trying not to cry. I'm so full of emotions, i can't understand why. I feel like all my emotions are stronger for some reason. Anger, sadness, depression, and a whole lot of other things, and it makes me even more scared. I blink back tears and rub my ears. They felt really sore for some reason. 

"Kassidy, look at me" Hank said. 

His voice was too loud, everything was too loud. I could hear everyone's breathing...i can hear something thumping from them also...I could hear my own...it was a very fast thumping. I feel someone grab my chin and blink at the light in my eyes.

"her pupils are dilated" Hank mumbled.

"they seem more like gaping black holes if you ask me" Sean mumbled.

"he didn't" Raven mumbled. 

"Kassidy, follow the light with your eyes, if you feel dizzy, say something, okay?" Hank asked.

I slowly nod my head and continue to follow his movement with the flashlight. I follow it left and right, up and down, zig zag. Hank checks my pulse and i blink slowly at him.

"I don't know, she'll need further examination..." Hank said trailing off. 

"can't you just take blood?" Alex asked.

"she's pretty unstable right now" Hank said.

"so? the sooner we know what's wrong with her, the sooner she'll be okay again" Alex said. 

"i agree with him" Erik said.

"alright, everyone out" Hank said.

"even me?" Raven asked.

"Yes, you too" Hank said.

"but you need a girl to help" Raven said.

"I'm not undressing her, go" Hank said, he had a bit of a warning tone in his voice. 

They all left, them giving me a worried glance and i carefully pick at my nails, they were very chipped and dirty. I felt Hank's large hand take mine and i slowly look up, our eyes meeting.

"Hank...I don't know what's happening" i whispered.

Hank squeezes my hand and i stare at Hank with tired eyes, i slowly let out a long sigh and rub my head. 

"okay, how about we start with an X-ray?" Hank asked.

"okay..." i said nodding. 

"here, change into this" Hank said.

He gave me a hospital gown and i made a face and he gave me an apologized look. He turns around and i strip out of dirty and basically shredded clothes. I put the gown on and sit back on the table. I clear my throat and Hank turns back around. i tug at my nappy hair and Hank lightly grabs my arm. Nothing, i can't feel my memories coming back, which honestly is a relief. I made eye contact with Hank and he gave me a nervous look. His thumbs press down on my arm and i flinch. he carefully feels around it and frowns in confusion. he walks over to a machine and i frown at him. 

"we'll need a x-ray, can you feel your arm?" Hank asked.

I move my arm, i can feel it slightly numb and slowly nod my head. 

I lay on the table and Hank starts getting to work. Don't ask me how he was doing or what he was doing, because i have no clue. i just look at the ceiling, counting the tiny dots on it. Hank was putting pressure on my legs and i close my eyes, trying to relax. I doze off, just thinking about everything. What is happening to me? I don't know what the injected me with, but i hope nothing too bad. Could it be a cure? I wasn't too sure it was a cute either though. What could they have injected me with to make me this way? 

"Kassidy" Hank said.

He was patting my cheek and i blink at him, confused. Why was he patting my cheek? was something wrong?

"what?" i asked. 

"sorry, you weren't responding, I'm putting aesthetics in you, okay?" Hank asked. 

He stuck needles in my arms and i try to get comfortable. Hank was examining my X-Rays before walking out, leaving me alone. I stare at the wall, unsure what to do. What could they possibly get from me getting cured? they spent almost twenty(?) years on testing on me. It seems like a stupid decision if you ask me. 

Then there's the issue with Erik, which I'm not too fond of even talking to him. I have a confession to make, they lied, about the baby i gave birth to. I know it's alive still, but i have no idea where it's at. I have idea what it's gender is, they took him/her away when i gave birth. I can't tell Erik that...at least i don't think i can. what would he think? This was way too confusing if you ask me.
