There's a faint ripple of magic off in the woods near Xavier's, and a presence that makes it's way towards the institute with a good amount of speed. Any telepaths would have a hard time getting into it's non-human mind, but there's no malice or ill will about it.

Which is why it may seem confusing for there to be a dead rabbit, fresh and rather plump, left on Rachel Summers' windowsill.

	Rachel sat down on her bed. "I'm not hurt. Just... worried," she said. "Did some things recently I'm not... sure about." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Torn Ear's whiskers twitch. "What sort of things?" His tail flicks from side to side as he perches. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Rachel frowned. Why the heck was she telling the fuzzbag this stuff? "See... the thing is, there's this entity out there, that's connected to my family. I ended up connecting with it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Because he's so non-threatening and lovable. Also, he is a kitty. All girls find it easy to tell their troubles to ~~their~~ a kitty. "Is it like the nature spirits or the dead spirits? I'm just a fighter, so I don't really know much about that kind of stuff.." He seems sheepish to admit that. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I..." she hesitated, trying to think of how to put it into words. "I'm not sure, exactly. It's like, one of the primal forces of the universe of something. "But I tapped into it. Or it tapped into me, I don't know. But it was way more power than I'd ever had before. "...And I liked it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Torn Ear blinks. "So... that was bad?" He peers at her. "You still seem like you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2010-03-27 06:15 pm UTC (link)
	"I am, now," she said. "But for a while, I wasn't. This kind of power... it got my mom killed once." Granted, she got better, but... "I'm just worried. If it's more than I can handle. If it'll make me dangerous." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Torn Ear seems noticeably saddened as Rachel mentions her mother's death, tail and ears drooping "Well, you handled it this time, so all you have to do is handle it again next time." He grins encouragingly. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2010-03-27 08:23 pm UTC (link)
	Don't worry, Torn Ear. She got better. "Maybe," she said. "It's just... I've had nightmares about this ever since I was a little girl. For it to come true..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-03-27 08:28 pm UTC (link)
	"Was it like it was in your nightmare? You didn't lose control, did you? You didn't horribly destroy the world or anything like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2010-03-27 08:44 pm UTC (link)
	"Not yet," Rachel said. "But it started that way for Mom too. She saved the universe... and then she went mad with power." Sort of. The Phoenix hadn't exactly been Mom, but had been her personality, as close to her as even Uncle Logan and Dad couldn't have told the difference. Six of one, half dozen of the other.

	At that, Torn Ear shakes his head. "It's really annoying when people do that. Like what happened with Cracked Claw." He pauses, seeming to consider something. "But I guess if you went mad without power it wouldn't really go anywhere. No-one would listen to you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2010-03-27 08:59 pm UTC (link)
	Okay, that got a laugh out of Rachel. "...Wait, how do you know Simpsons' quotes?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-03-27 09:00 pm UTC (link)
	He blinks. "'Quotes'?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2010-03-27 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	"What you just said. It's from the Simpsons' Movie." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-03-27 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	"....what's a movie?" He tilts his head, confused. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2010-03-27 09:33 pm UTC (link)
	Rachel resisted the urge to facepalm. "They don't have movies or tv where you're from?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-03-27 10:23 pm UTC (link)
	Torn Ear stares. "We live... underground." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2010-03-27 10:30 pm UTC (link)
	"Oh, right," Rachel said. "Weird, though. Because that's a direct quote from a movie. ...Which is a form of entertainment." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-03-27 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	"...huh." Torn Ear decided it was best not to dwell on weirdness like that. Best to humor the locals. "Where do you find these movies?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2010-03-27 10:44 pm UTC (link)
	"In theaters, or on TV, or on DVDs," Rachel explained, before realizing he probably didn't know what any of those were. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-03-27 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	There's a blank stare, and it's coming right at you, Rachel. "....that's nice." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2010-03-27 10:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Sorry. It's just hard to picture people without all the technology and stuff we've got. Makes explanations difficult." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_citizen 2010-03-27 10:51 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, hopefully you can start teaching me soon." He grins. "Once I come back next time I mean. I'm only here for a visit right now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2010-03-27 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	He wasn't staying? Well, that was a relief. Torn Ear was okay to talk to, but Rachel definitely didn't need a felinoid stalker. "Yeah," she said. "I could do that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
