Needing Help (for queenemma right now)

[semihero_pietro]

Pietro left Paris after seeing his sisters, and made his away across the ocean back to the Xavier Institute. It had been a few months now since he had been on the grounds - he had left soon after his father had blown up the place in Brussels - but as always it looked the same.

Making his way into the place, he avoided the groups of mutants (students and teachers alike) and instead went directly to Emma's office.

He stopped to look at his reflection. His hair was a bit longer, shaggy from not having been kept in careful cutting and styling. He was out of uniform, and his clothing seemed to just be hanging off him. He had lost weight, probably from not really eating in the last week, or was it too now... and the lack of sleep has his face pale with bags under his eyes.

Since seeing his sister, he had been able to see through the blind anger that had kept him going. But now, his head hurt and he wasn't able to know what was real and what wasn't. He also still couldn't feel his sister for some reason, and that needed to be fixed.

He needed help. And Emma Frost was, ironically, the only psychic he trusted to help him.

"Emma, it's Pietro. Are you here?" he called out, knocking rapidly on her door.

As Emma worked more and more with the sorting, the weariness wore away from Pietro and he started to look alot healthier and just like himself again.

However, when Emma came to that memory, he winced. That was one of his darker secrets he didn't want people to know about him.

"Yes," Pietro stated, and reached out to touch the image of the memory.

It had happened here, in Wundergore, when he had come in contact with Isotope E. The feeling of raw power that had surged through his body had unlocked a secondary mutation that Pietro wasn't even aware that he had carried.

"I can't access it anymore though. Not without the Isotope. And I would rather not, because the power nearly took me over the first time. I fear what I would become."

"Not without the Isotope," she repeated slowly. "But you can access it. You can become your father if you wished." He could most likely best Lorna as well with the memory that she touched alongside Pietro.

She would keep the secret, of course, and she understood his own issues with Magnus.

Fathers could be so troublesome.

Back to work, though, Emma sorted memories piece by piece, thankful that he was by her side to assist her. She noticed that even on the Astral Plane, his appearance was better. Stronger. It was draining for her, though, and once it was completed, she shifted the scene away and back to her office, which was still shielded from other telepaths.

She could only hope that Pietro was whole again, as well as Wanda. But that secret... that power that he possessed... shaking her head, she reached for her bottled water. "I don't sense another presence in your mind any longer. But the question remains -- how do you feel?"

"I fear that I would become worse than my father," Pietro said softly. Because that was his greatest fear, and he would take his own life before allowing that to happen.

As they shifted out of the plane, Pietro leaned his head back and took a deep breath. He heard Emma's question and smiled softly. "It's quiet. Blessfully quiet."

He looked at Emma and then held a hand up to cover a yawn. "Maybe... maybe you should ask me again in the morning. I can suddenly feel how exhusted I am."

"Of course," she said smoothly, leading Pietro towards one of the empty bedrooms in the mansion where he could rest.

OOC: BTW, the Disney thing is still going on if Pie wants to join in for the fun. :)
