::he followed Aaron into the house and looked around as he explained about Rose's condition. He noticed that a few things were broken and couldn't help a small smile when Aaron told the unconcious Rose about behaving. He knew how her powers could go out of control. He chuckled a bit as they approached the table::
Just be glad she wasn't in a bad mood.
::he looked over to the one Aaron called Ian, then walked over to stand at Rose's side. He took her hand in his and looked at her, hoping she would recognize him. He smiled and stroked her hand with his thumb. Rose was like a sister to him, and he couldn't help but feel responsible that she was lieing on the bed in the first place. Secret had told him to watch out for her and take care of her, and now she was here::
Rose...what happened to you...?

Rose felt like she was drifting, very much out of it. There was no thought process, no worries, not chaotic events. Just.... nothing. Everything completely peaceful and silent and still. The morphin was doing a very good job of keeping her out, though perhaps the dosage had a factor. It wasn't usually advisable to give someone her age to much morphin. But when she heard the familiar voice of Ian, she tried to shake off the affects of the morphin, tried to pull out of the darkness. She surfaced slowly, fighting the morphin. Her eyes finally opened a crack, then a little more. It was about as far as she could open them, actually. The morphin in her blood wanting to carry her back into the darkness, though she did her best to fight it.
"Hi Ian...."
It certainly was an effort to speak, her words not yet slurring together but almost. Her eyelids closed a little, though after a moment or two she was able to reopen them to half way. She didn't want to go back to sleep... atleast not yet.

::he continued to stroke her hand as he looked at her. He couldn't help but curse himself constantly as she laid there. But when she stirred and opened her eyes, he couldn't help the sad smile that grew on his face, a small tear escaping down the side of his face::
Hey Rose.
::the smile faltered, then collapsed completely as he closed his eyes tightly and took her hand in both of his. His hands began to shake a little as he held hers, hoping she would be alright::
Rose I...I'm sorry. I was suppose to protect you, keep you safe, and I failed. Please forgive me.

Rose wanted to smile back, though she couldn't find the strength to, all of her strength already going to staying consious. There wasn't any left for anything else. When he 'collasped' she wanted to sit up and comfort him, though already she was begining to fall unconsious once again.
"It's ok... You did nothing... wrong..."
Her words were begining to slur, and she almost hadn't been able to finish. Her eyelids were getting heavier. But she wanted to stay awake desperately!
"Don't leave... ok...?"
Then, her eye's closed, unable to stay awake any longer. She'd fought the morphin as much as she could, and it had finally won. It would probably be a while before she woke up again.

*Blackbriar moved as Ian went to Rose's side. He felt guilty when Ian started apologizing to Rose.*
Don't be sorry. Someone named Cain did this to her and she didn't have proper medical attention when she was...brought to the Nightmares.
*Black looked down when he said this.*
I helped her escape...but in order to move her, I needed to put her under hypnosis so that she wasn't in any pain when we traveled. I guess Rose could give you more details when she wakes up.

*Aaron was so tired. He could tell that Rose wanted to stay awake, so he walked over and stopped the IV of morphine. Aaron changed the morphine to another strong pain killer that didn't cause people to sleep. He wanted to speed things up, so he increased his power and Rose's healing went faster. Aaron watched the newcomer warily, but he said nothing and went into his kitchen to get some early morning breakfast while still healing Rose.*

::he watched as Rose drifted off into a peaceful sleep, then observed Aaron as the IV was changed. When Blackbriar told him of how she was attacked by Cain and taken to the nightmares, it was then he thought about Secret. Being told that he had helped her escape caused words that Secret had told him to appear in his mind::
The future is already changing...
::his eyes grew distant as he silently repeated Secret's words. He then figured that there had to be some connection between Rose, Cain, Shadow and the nightmares. He looked up to the on that spoke to him about Rose::
Thanks for helping her. Listen, I need to know if you know anything about the nightmares, especially Cain and a woman named Shadow. I have a feeling that Rose is a part of something big, and if she is, we need to take her somewhere safe.

*Blackbriar looked up when Ian talked to him. His face was expressionless when Ian talked about the Nightmares and especially...Shadow. What if she found him? Shadow would show no remorse and Sky wouldn't be there to protect him. Black shivered.*
I know everything about the Nightmares...I was a member before Rose's sister Sky asked me to escape with her. The Nightmares are...a ruthless group...as dangerous as the Brotherhood. They are led by Shadow Nightshade...Rose's cousin. The Nightshade family are...unbelievably powerful. Sky Nightshade...Rose's sister...is not quite as powerful as Shadow, but she's extremely powerful. If you think Rose is powerful...you should see the rest of her family.
*Blackbriar eyes grew distant and for a moment his ice blue eyes grew cold. In that moment, you could tell he used to be part of the Nightmares. But the moment passed and Black came back to the present.*
I'm not sure about this guy named Cain. All I know is that he's powerful and that he came to visit the Nightmares to drop off Rose and to talk to Shadow. I suspect that a group called the MRF is involved...but I don't know.
*Black looked over at Rose, guilt-ridden. He missed Sky so much and he left everything behind. Kunai, his snake, was still wrapped around his neck, flicking his tongue.*

::he listened intently as Blackbriar explained about the nightmares. Shadow must've been the on that had attacked her the first time they met. He looked down at Rose as the man explained more. He figured that if someone from a group of evil mutants was willing to put his life on the line for someone, he was willing to be trusted. He looked back up and explained what he knew::
You probably know the MRF better as the Mutant Research Facility. They were the one responsible for the plague that nearly whiped out every last mutant on earth. The one named Cain is part of it, but I'm not sure what he wants with the Nightmares. But I do know that the MRF wants nothing more than to enslave mutants that don't follow them, and god knows that they'll do to the humans.
::he looked down at Rose again, then to Ian and Aaron::
I can't really explain how I know all this, but I can tell you that these people need to be stopped. Rose is involved in it somehow, but I'm not sure how exactly.

Rose stayed under the affects of the remaining morphin for some time, atleast thirty minutes, maybe longer. Time was passing very different for her then it was for them. Finally, though, she realized the morphin was getting weaker, and her strength was returning. This time she didn't fight it, and just waited... waited for the affects to wear completely off. Finally, all the morphin gone, her eyes fluttered once more, just iin time to hear some of the conversation, atleast the last part about her being involved in something. What ever that something was, she didn't know.
"What...?"

*All of the information being exchanged just went right over Aaron's head. He just kept focusing on healing Rose. He gave a small smile. Rose was healing faster than he expected and he now estimated that she would be back to normal in at least 24 hours. Then he heard the new guy mentioning the MRF and Aaron whipped his head around in surprise.*
The MRF? Are you saying that...the MRF and the Nightmares might team up against all the mutants?
*Then he heard Rose talk a little. Good, she was awake. She might know what's actually going on here.*

*Blackbriar heard Ian mention the MRF and he nodded solemnly.*
I overheard Shadow and Cain talking a little. My guess is...Cain was asking help from the Nightmares, but with what, I don't know. I bet her cousin Sky might know more but...she's dreadfully loyal to the Nightmares, even if she absolutely loves and adores her sister enough to help her escape.
*Black kept on listening and nodded.*
Shadow wanted Rose back badly. Sky, I could understand that she wants her back alive, but Shadow? She wanted Rose back alive. Normally if she wanted to kill or punish someone, Shadow would send someone after Rose and kill her. But she wanted her back alive. Obviously Rose is involved in their plot.

*The wind blew against the house forcefully as Nessa approached the house. She couldn't help it! Her powers were so hard for her to contain. That's why people called her Windsor. Nessa walked forward, wanting to talk to Aaron about the other night and to say goodbye to him...forever. Her heart ached, but her very nature rebelled against being tied to someone when she was so used to her unlimited freedom. The wind swirled around her hair, making her a fearsome thing to behold as she walked into Aaron's house unannounced.*

::he looked over to Aaron when the man seemed surprised about the MRF and Nightmares teaming up. He didn't know exactly if it was happening, but from the way the things that Secret showed him looked, he wouldn't put it past them::
I'm not sure, but if Cain is the kind of person that would do this to Rose, it's something to worry about.
::when Blackbriar told him about Cain needing help with something, he couldn't help but feel curious about it. He couldn't help but share the mans curiosity at the knowledge that Shadow wanted Rose alive, not to mention letting Sky take her into her care. Something told him that Sky may be able to help if they can get to her to, Nightmare or not::
Whatever the case is, I doubt it would be safe to let Shadow or any of the Nightmares have her. Do we know anything else about this Cain guy?
::his attention was brought to Rose as she woke up and looked to him. He gave her a caring smile and was about to explain things to her when he heard something hit the door of the house. A startled look to the door, then to the others. He didn't know whether it was an enemy or not, so he stayed next to Rose and Blackbriar in case he needed to get them out of there::

Rose remained completely silent for quite some time. Which was not like her at all. Sure she was serious at times, but to be completely and totally dead silent wasn't exactly... normal. She usually had some sort of response to everything. Finally, she slowly turned her gaze to Blackbriar.
"You... don't know my family that well do you...? The easiest way of putting it would be worse then slavery, only there's no getting set free. Traitors aren't usually killed. They let the Elders.... Erase everything from the traitor. Memories, thoughts, knowledge, love, everything. They turn you into a mindless puppet, then send you on suicide missions... Though that's only the weaker branches."
She paused, closind her eyes once again.
"If the Elders ever caught me... Since I'm of the main branch... They'd probably....."
Her voice caught in her throat, not wanting to go on, though she had to finish it. Just so they knew how power hungry her family was.
"Still erase everything.... But then sell me to the highest bidder... No matter who the person is and what their intentions are..."
