After the Storm
The Marauders are gone. At least for now. They still haven't determined what that was all about, and right now, Lucas doesn't care. He's been hard at work ever since the attack, despite his own psychological scars, healing who he can. When the medical labs, Hank McCoy, and the other healer assured him they had things under control, he went to talk to Scott, and got permission to do the hardest task yet.
He sighs, setting down the pencil and reviewing the letter.

	Cait nodded. "They're seeing to the most critical ones first. Then they'll get to those of us who are hurt, but can wait. Corey...some of the students didn't make it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Corey tenses. His mind doesn't want to process it, because any fatality here is completely unacceptable, partly in principle, moreso because these are his friends, and because...because dying cannot be an option resulting from today. Not with Rufus like this. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait hugged him again. Corey was a sensitive soul. "Laurie and Thomas," she said quietly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	As much as he doesn't want to be adding to Cait's plate in terms of comforting him of all people, Corey can't help a sob. That hits hard, especially Thomas, whom he'd known particularly well. "...They didn't sign up for this." He does his best to pull it together. "Rufus is gonna be okay." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait continued to hug him. "I know they didn't," she said. "We don't even know why or who it was, but it was senseless. Rufus will be fine. He's a strong kid and stubborn." He had to be fine. "Uncle Hank, Aunt Cece and Alice will make him better." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Yeah." He just holds tight to her a while longer, not knowing what more to say. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Cait released him and ruffled his hair. "Grab a chair and tell me about New Orleans and your new team." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Corey compliantly gets a chair. He'll take one of Rufus's hands and sort of try to tell both of them, just in case there's any way of processing, as one never knows.

"It's great. The weather's like this sort of half-way point, nowhere near Nova Roma, but much more humid than New York. And the people are all great, even if I keep not being sure whether to give Argo a high-five or keep my hands in shrine position." He manages a smile.

	Cait sat down in the chair on the other side and held Rufus' other hand. She smiled. "Great to hear that. I was worried about you, Twerp." Cait always worried about him, but now he was so far away and she worried more. "How are you settling in at school? What classes are you taking?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"English, Health, Art History, and Sculpture ...and Mrs. Parker's sculpture class is already looking to be as awesome as I thought it would be." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm really glad to hear that, Corey. It sounds like it's the perfect school for you. Just make sure you don't forget about your other classes."

Cait was really happy for her brother. He was in a place where he fit in and where he could study things he was really interested in. Xavier's was good for helping him learn to use his powers, but the classes had never been a good fit for him.
