When Kitty ended the communication with Liz, she finished the final touches to the security updates. After the updates were completed, Kitty made her way back to the infirmary.

"Just. Let. Me. Up." He said this time his voice dripping in anger. His markings where scarlet and his pupils where silver from reflecting light. "Let me up Goddamnit! I have to get back to the fight!"He roared, struggling against the purple aura so that his muscels flexed. Though he was getting nowhere against such force, he tried and tried again. Each time shouting, "Let me go! I have to get back out there!"

Storm checked Keiy monitors to see if he was reaching critical levels as Bobby walked over to assist Storm in case Keiy continued to fight and needed to be sedated. Christina continued using her telekinesis and talking to calm him down.
Christina: They're gone. The fight's over, for today. Now, just chill out. You almost bled to death out there. You need to rest.

When Keiy heard these words he just threw his head back. "OK fine. Just get this out of me and let me up." He said. Then realizing that his voice still had some edge to it he added,"Please. I want to be moving. And don't worry about me... I have probably had that happen to me alot worse than this time. And... And I am sorry for not being more help to you guys... ." He let his body relax and forced himself to calm down. Keiy took several deep breaths, then said, "If you want... I can tell you all about the man that I was fighting."

Christina released her hold on Keiy and returned to her chair next to his bed. Ororo and Bobby also relaxed, but remained standing by. Then Kitty entered the infirmary.
Shadowcat: Keiy, you're awake. That's good.
Kitty could sense the tension that still hung in the room.
Shadowcat: Is everything okay in here?
Before anyone could respond, Christina jumped in.
Christina: Yeah, everything's good. Keiy was just about to tell us about that guy he was fighting.
Christina gave Keiy a little smile and nodded for him to start.

Keiy let out a sigh. "It goes back pretty far... and I mean like somewhere between 15 to 20 years." Keiy looked up and saw a mixture of surprised and confused expressions. Before anyone could say anything he said,"Yes... I am older than I look by human years. I age alot slower than them. Think half reverse dog years." Then realizing that he was confusing them anymore he decided to start his story. "His name is Marcus Jones. The last name he took in for himself. When I was ten years old by human measures I met up with him. He was twelve by then and was helping out with an underground mutant orphanage group. They focused on the basics for survival. He had the half wolf form and wolf form then. But no wings. And he was not made of metal. Anywase there were four leaders of the group. Marcus, Haylee, Rehanna, and eventually myself. That group was closer than family. And me and him where closer than that.... Anywase. We the oldest and most able would stand lookout while the others would steal the basics for our survival... It was how we survived. Me and him where the main lookouts while the other two leaders where the over lookers for the youngest. Because we had those positions that we did, we became the closest and the best team of the group... Are you all with me so far?"

Kitty and the others nodded their heads.
Shadowcat: Please continue.

Keiy nodded and continued, "We where happy for a time... Until the mutant registration act. Then we were hunted, and during one of the attacks I... I let loose. I went into a battle like state that was worse than what happened earlier" Keiy said nodding to Christina. He looked down and took a couple of deep breaths to keep his emotions fom overloading himself. "They all died... 'cept for Marcus, Haylee, and I think a couple of of the young ones. Haylee and Marcus hid me away. They took me to a dock and decided to take me to Europe. Marcus went with me, saying 'Bond brothers stay together.' Haylee went wit me because she thought that eventually me and Marcus would get into trouble without a 'level head'... Feel free to ask any questions... Our story must be confusing"

Christina was able to keep up with the story but there was something missing.
Christina: But if you guys were such close friends, how did it get to where Marcus tried to kill you today?

Keiy nodded to the question. "I have a theory about that... But first that is after we met the rest of our... Bonded Family. Haylee was a really good telepath... But she has a split personality. One controlled thoughts and one erased memories. But when she had help of one of our new friends there. She made six bracelets" He said this as he rolled his own. "We used them to keep together and contact each other. That was the noise that you heard. The other three of us where Rebeka, Kyle, and Deizziray. Kyle was the barrier maker, and could do spell like things.... I don't know how else to put it. Rebeka was a speed deamon, and was Marcus's girlfriend. And Deizziray was a gav-user...Any questions on them or my terminology for them?"Keiy asked again. He wanted to make it as clear as possible.

Shadowcat: A "gav-user"?

Keiy thought about how to explain it better for a moment, then he said,"Yeah... She can make things lighter or heavier at will or compleatly null gavity all together. Does that clear it up for you?"

Keiy let out a sigh. "OK, good." He said, then he continued with his story. "One day, thought I don't remember it all that well, but our group got into a fight with some mutant-haters. They had guns and weapons. But we had our powers. One of them hit me right about the same area that I got shot. I couldn't tell you what happened next, but then I saw that five people where dead. One was dried like a prune, another one was impaled, two where burned and the last... the last one was... " Keiy took in a sharp shuttered breath. "It was Haylee... She was ripped to shreds... And later Kyle told me that I was the one who did it... I didn't want to believe him but... something in my gut told me that it was true... Then he said... He said that he could stop it... " Keiy's eyes blurred as he tried to blink away tears."He was the one who gave me my markings... They are made from his blood... He bled to death to put them on me..." The young man looked down and the tears came again. "Marcus... He found out... They *hick* They all found out... And t-they all *hick*... T-they all found out. And they all att*hick*, attacked me. I combined what little I kn-knew of the elements and fired to protect myself. Marcus got hit with the full blast and... and..." Keiy just couldn't continue. He was so frustrated with himself. He curled up into a ball and began to cry violently.

As Keiy began to cry, the X-women wanted to comfort him and try to help calm him. Christina immediately understood his pain and reached out her hand to grasp his. She held it in a strong yet comforting grip.
Christina: Hey. Everyone has something in their past that they regret. For some, it's worse than others. And it hurts, I know. It hurts real bad, and it sucks. And it especially doesn't help when the people you have known basically all your life suddenly turn on you. And we wish we could go back and change it, make it better with some new-found wisdom or control we have developed. But the fact is that we can't. I know it's harsh just to say that, but it's true. The only thing we got to do next is just try to overcome whatever incidents that have happened in the past and use that to make us wiser, stronger, and more in control today so whenever we are faced with another difficult situation we won't make the same mistakes we made in the past.
Christina kept taking deep breaths to keep herself steady. It wouldn't help if the both of them started in hysterics. So Christina maintained her strong, comforting grip on his hand but her hand shook slightly over his as she used the physical contact to help calm herself as well as Keiy.
