The dark haired woman walked into her room, her steps heavy. She was exhausted. Her shoulder hurt like hell. They’d got the bullet out, and now she craved sleep. Or something like it. She was so tired. Of course life would probably conspire against her but still, she could try. She stopped though. Something was off. Not that she was able to think fast enough to figure it out. What was wrong here?
She was to tired, obviously, as she pushed it aside and headed for her bed. She was tired. The night had taken more out of her than expected. No. That was a lie. She knew how much energy she’d be using, and she didn’t have over a century and a half to hone her healing power so she was just tired. Though her anger hadn’t helped. It had fueled the fire, but she’d learned long ago that anger burns out fast. A fire light by love went longer, brighter, hotter. She had been angry though. Maybe another time she’d figure it out.

The young woman awoke to find herself in a strange room. It did not smell like her prison, so she opened her cat-like eyes. She saw a woman in a white coat sitting in a chair. She looked up from her magazine and smiled with what she thought was kindness."Im glad your awake, sweetie. We were not able to heal you due to your shield. We can help you if you drop it, honey."
The girl scrambled off the bed and landed on all fours, eyes wide with terror. She mad the shift to tiger form and pelted fro the room. It smelled wrong... It smelled like hurting things...
She ran down the halls, searching for a safe place to hide. She found a scent that she vaguly recognized and followed it. It lead to a door which smelled like the woman who had thrown fire. She used a paw to turn the handle and slipped inside.
She looked around the room. It felt safe. It was quite and smell sort of calm and homey. The amaciated tiger walked to the foot of what she though she remembered was call a bed. Everything seemed so unfarmiliar. Being stuck in a cage for 10 years really made everything so odd.
The tigress curled up at the foot of the bed, trying toget comfortable with many of her wounds paining her. He energy was drained again, and she closed her eyes and drifted towards sleep.

She flicked on the light and froze. Tiger. Her instinct was to run, but on second thought. ”You’re the new mutant.” oh brilliant. Really smart. ”I’m Victoria. Your safe here. Anywhere her actually.” she spoke softly, moving lightly forward, and away from the door, so if the girl wanted to run she could.
Tori was no longer tired. Adrenaline. For the second time today. She could see the sun outside. She sighed as she went to the window and closed it. ”I’d like to know your name… but you don’t have to tell me.” she had a feeling that the tiger wasn’t gonna willingly move, so she might as well make a bed on the floor. She went to her closet, all moving slowly, and chatting about well nonsence, and got out blankets and her pillow. A tiger took up half of her bed, so yeah, unable to share. Not that she cared.
”I’m gonna sleep down here, You can do what you want, just don’t leave the fences. No one’s gonna hurt you. No matter what it looks like. We don’t want to hurt you, or anyone. After all we did save you.” she continued chatting as she sat at the edge of her bed, watching the paw of the tiger very very carefully. She really didin’t need another wound.

The sound of the door did not wake the sleeping tiger, but the soft voice did. Her eyes shot open and a scared mew escaped her lips. In a fast starled movement, she lept off the bed and shifted onto a black and white border collie.
The dog fit better in the small space and was faster incase this woman attacked. She pinned her ears, tail inbetween her legs as she backed into a corner, teeth slightly bared. After the moment of panic, her fragmented mind caught up to her insticts. The woman was not threatening her, she was speakiing softly...She was the fire woman who had saved her yesterday.. She knew the scent in a heartbeat.
Her lips relaxed, though her posture stayed scared. The telepath was struggling to understand the english...It was not her first language and she had not used it in almost 10 years...but her great memory dredged up some of the words. She said that she was safe..no one would hurt her...Something about sleep...Sleep sounded nice to the dog...
Blue eyes never left the woman as she took a measured step forwards. Instincts screamed at her to run, but something in the fragmented mind pushed her body to stay where it was. She had never know kindness, so maybe it was her mental craving for it that made her come a step closer. She streched out her muzzle and sniffed her hand, then quickly retreated to the corner again. She was seriously testing her limits...

The woman watched as the tiger leaped off her bed, and turned into a border collie. She smiled a little. A tired one, but it was real. ”Nice. You’ve got extream control there.” she said softly. ”Did you know that we had no idea about that facility until two days ago? I’m sorry we didn’t make it there sooner. Wouldn’t have meant much but still.” she mused to herself. She eyed the now vaycated bed and sat farther on it. ”Well if you want that bed you can have it. It’s warm, I’ll leave the door open so you can get out if you want. Bathroom’s right through there. My small kitchen is through the way you came, uh… main mess is in this building to. Just ask, or track it down. If you need anything wake me up. But I’m exhausted. Saving you took way more energy than expected.” she said after the girl sniffed her hand. She crawled under her covers and shut off the light. ”Night… What ever your name is.” she smiled a little, as she closed her eyes listening now.

The bodercollie listened carfully to each word the woman...Victoria said. She said that she would not keep her in these rooms..No prison? She cocked her head. She was dangerous...and they were letting her run wild? She did not feel safe around anyone else...not even fully with Tori, but enough to not to be quaking in fear and attacking.
The woman layed down and said that she could come up on the bed too...The gesture reached out to the terrified and shattered mind, fusing one broken piece to another. It was a start, but every recovery started with the first pieces fitting together. Tori then did something asonishing. She layed down and closed her eyes, telling her good night. She was completely exposing herself to attack, but the animal did nothing. She had also asked her name not to long ago...
This was a delema for the dog. She had not voiced a word aloud or in her mind for over 5 years. It was safer to just stay siolent... Less pain that way... But something summoned her mental voice to the front. She krept up to the bed and ducked her head, afraid of punishment for comming too close. She was terrified, but something inside forced her to do this.
A soft voice bloomed in Victoria's mind, broken and obviously terrified.*Jaenelle...Sytien...Angeline..."* It whispered before suddenly snapping off. She dog's legs colasped under her and landed with a flump. She could not summon the strength to try and move, so the scared dog leaned on the woman, hoping that the punishment would not be too severe.

You know how some kids dreamed of having a dog? Well tori was one of those little kids. Though she’d never gotten one. To have the woman in the dogs form jump up next to her andthen speak made her smile. ”Good night Jae. Sleep well. Nothing will hurt you.” she smiled a little before turning over slowly so her back was to the dog (Mainly so the dog would know she wasn’t afraid), and let herself drift. Soon she was asleep.
She woke up annoyed, though she moved slowly remembering the dog. It was late afternoon. Joy. She was going to have to tire herself out quick so she’d get back on track. She knew that pretty much everyone else was out anyways, but still. She moved carefully through her room, glancing at the collie with a little bit of curiosity, but not much. She was a mutant. She had no need to test the woman, after all Mutant’s were mutants. No need to do stupid tests.
She sighed as she took a shower, hot as she could stand (Which was pretty much scalding for anyone who wasn’t a pyro), and then got out, and changed into a clean uniform. She moved into her kitchen, and made, pancakes. She could make simple foods, though she wasn’t very good at making anything above raman noodles and pancakes. ”If you want food Jae you should come out here. Want Chocolate chips in your pancakes?” she knew she’d have at least one other scientist come in, and she’d have to block him or her. Just for now. Let the young woman get used to other people. At least for now. And Tori (though a tad cold) was a good person to get to know. After all no one contradicted a CO unless they wanted to be court marshaled.

The collie drifted to sleep, comforted by the warm body beside her. She slept without dreaming, which was pecular...She never slept well, for nightmares usually haunted her every sleeping moment. She did not wake when Tori got up and showered.
What did wake her was the enticing aroma of hot food. Food...something that was so preshious...something that she only got enough of to survive on. She was unfarmiliar with this scent how ever, so she opened her eyes and raised her head.
Tori asked if she wanted something in her cake...What was chocolate? Why was it chipped? Questions bubbled up in the hazy mind as she lightly lept off the bed, landing on the floor with a soft bump. She was still tired, but the good rest had restored some of her strength. Her shield flickered around the collie for a moment then disappeared. With it's disappreance, the smell of singed flesh and terrible oder emenated from the dog.
The animal took a wiff of herself and began to back away, tail inbetween her legs again. She feared that Tori would be angered by the rank smell of her...She was not strong enough to wash herself even if she found a place to do so. The smell of food was entoxicating, but fear forced the dog backwards. She stepped on the corner of a blanket and her paw went out from under her. A yelp of pain came from her maw and fresh blood ozzed from the wounds on her back. The dog just lay there, bleeding, unsure of what was going to happen.

Tori slapped off the oven and went to see what had yelped. The smell was horendus, but it seemed it was time to heal her. ”Don’t freak out hon. I’m gonna heal you, then we are giving you a bath.” she said as she knelt beside the young dog, and reached a hand out over the woman. With that she closed her eyes, and pushed past the fire. There was that small bit of green, which every time she healed grew stronger. She pushed it out past the fire and through her hand over the dog. It didn’t take long and she smiled when done. She was at peace at least for a bit, after every healing. ”There. Should be fine in any form you take. Now let’s go take a bath, and we’ll get you some water, and probably something easy to eat. Hm… Juice, or a smoothy. Hope you like bananas, and you can have as much as you want.” she said with a grin, as she touched the dog lightly and stood up heading for the bathroom and turned on the warm water. Luke warm. Nothing that would scaled the woman. ”We’ll eat after we finish with your bath.” it was a good thing no one else lived with her, because even other mutant’s might find her insane if they saw her talking to a dog. ”Come on. It won’t hurt, and you’ll be clean.” she said softly.
Sometimes great anger mean’s a big heart. She leanred tha long ago with Albert. She smiled at the memory. ”I’ve always loved baths. More relaxing than anything else, and soothing. Calming. Which is unusual for me, if you can remember last night. Though I usually don’t react that way.” a slight frown touched her lips as she kept her hand in the water to feel it. Then it was ready, and the slight frown was gone. It had nothing to do with the dog, just sadness there. ”Now until you can get yourself clean, I’m gonna help you alright? Want to smell like something flowery?” she asked getting her lavender shampoo and holding it out for the dog to smell. She always had natural stuff, (mainly because she could) and so it wouldn’t hurt the dog either way, even if she did end up ingesting some of it.

The dog shyed at the woman's touch, but when the pain from her back was suddenly gone, she opened her eyes. Turning her head, she looked at her back. The skin was perfectly healed and even a light fuzz of new fur was already growing on it. She looked at Tori, eyes filled with thankfulness. She reached out and gave the woman's cheek a lick then turned her head away shyly.
This was a truly wonderful person...She did not once try and hurt her and she made her wounds disappear. She followed Tori into her bathroom, but stopped at the door, unsure if she was allowed to enter. She heard the word "bath" and her ears pirked forwards. Bath? Get clean? Her tail began to wave just a bit out of excitment. She had not had a bath in weeks...When the scientists remembered, they occasionally had hosed her down, but an actual bath sounded fantasic.
The dog walked into the room and sat, watching the bath fill up with warm water. It was amazing to her, seeing so much clean water in one place. She dipped her muzzle in and drank a few swallows, even though it was warm. It helped settle her stomach a bit.
When Tori held out the shampoo to smell, she cocked her head in confusion again. It smelled like flowers, but none that she had ever smelled before. She sniffed again and sighed. She desided she liked the smell. She touched her nose to the bottle and gave the hand holding it a lick.
The dog then hopped into the bath with enthusiasm and rolled, splashing Tori in the process. As soon as she realised what she had done, Jae backed up as far as she could, body tensed and waiting for pain.

The laugh from the woman at the excitement of the dog did make her drop the bottle. But she wasn’t worried. She acted as if the dog wasn’t cowering. ”Come here, and let me clean you up. You silly thing. Now that your nice and wet, I’m gonna put this shampoo all over you and get all the dirt off of you how’s that? Hm?” she asked softly as she got another little bit of shampoo on her hand and put it lightly on the dog, before moving carefully she massaged it into the fur. ”Hm. Mohock.” she giggled a little as she moved the care up into a spike all along the dog’s back. Then went back to using her hands to scrup. Careful, and smooth. She smiled as she worked.
She moved away her hands still soapy to find a cup and got it. ”I’m gonna use this to pour water on your back alright?” she said simply as she used the semi-filty water to start to clean off the dog. The water was horrible, so she opened the drain. ”Draining the water, and we’ll clean you again. It seems your captors have no idea what a girl actually needs.” she said with a slight smile, as she continued to work. This was soothing, and it kept her thoughts at bay.
She filled up the water again, and again put shampoo on the dog, getting off more grime. She did this one more time, and then she got the shower head. ”This isn’t gonna hurt you but it’ll make it easier to rinse you off. Then we’ll dry you and go eat. How’s that?” she asked before turning the water on, and making the shower head go one the lowest setting. Then she moved it along the dog’s back, and sides, neck, and top of the head, though she was careful to not get any soap in the dog’s eyes. As the now clean water dripped away she grinned and stepped back. ”How about this dog towel to dry you off?” she asked as she grabbed a giant beach towel. She rubbed vigorously ignoring any timidness, and got the dog dry. ”Brushing you will have to come later. Come on. Let’s go eat. Though I’m gonna have to see what you can eat. I’m assuming fruit, probably crackers.” she said thoughtfully as she lead the way out of the bathroom.
The Kitchen was warm, and she got bananas, straberrys and apple juice and put it all in her blender. ”It’s gonna be loud, but nothing to worry about alright?” she said quickly before blending the food. Then she grabbed a big bowl, poured some of the liquefied drink into the bowl and set it on the floor. ”Not to fast, and if you want more just let me know.” with that she started to re heat her pancakes, putting her own chocolate chips in, and then sitting down to eat with some maple syrup.

When Tori just ignored being wet, the dog slowly relaxed, coming out. She allowed Tori to begin cleaning grim off her.Jaenelle was very happy to get cleaned. The gentleness of Tori's hands were so soothing, comforting...
The bath was all too short and Jae sadly shook off when the bath water drained away. She allowed Tori to towel her off, but not wanting to smell like wet dog, she shifted to a black scaled monetor lizard. She could smell the fruits as they were blended together, the sound not bothering her at all.
Lizard fell on the bowl of food, eating ravenously. Her thick tail swished back and forth across the floor as she licked what was left in the bowl. She looked up at Tori and nudged the bowl toward the woman. The lizard then turned it's head to the sink and flicked out her tounge. She was no longer hungery, but she needed something to cut the fruit's sweetness.
The lizard climbed up onto a seat and looked levely at Tori. The telepath gathered the words together.*Friend?* A vice asked in Tori's mind, almost like a small childs. The telepath was fagile, but maybe with a friend...things could heal.

The lizard was new. Well oh well. She smiled a bit as the lizard ate quickly. She chuckled ass he got up and got the water, rinsing out the bowl well and then putting it back on the floor. She stopped and looked at the lizard for a moment. ”Yeah. I’m a friend.” she smiled and had just sat down for her breakfast/dinner when the door swung open and there was Richard.
She took one glance at the lizard and stood up quickly. ”Ah Tori. I was wondering where you were. Is that the new mutant? How’s she doing?” she moved quickly. ”We’re doing fine. Jae is fine, and you should leave. Now. Go.” she snapped pushing him back. He looked confused, and didn’t budge. Her physical strength was no where near as powerful as a full grown man who was at least six foot. That was when she wasn’t using her power. Which she wasn’t so she was shoving against a brick wall. Nothing happened.
”Really tori? It’s not like I’m gonna hurt her. The labie’s are all worried. I mean really. She couldn’t have gotten far. Why’d she come here? Of all places?” he asked watching the lizard with fascination. ”Richard get out of my quarters NOW. As your CO I’m going to have to ORDER YOU to get your self back to work. Or dinner or what ever. Just get out.” she snarled. He took a step back, feeling her anger. He backed out quickly and she slammed the door. ”Stupid males. I’m sorry Jae. That’s Richard. He was there at the rescue, just outside.” she explained.

The lizard whipped her head around as a new voice entered the room. With a feral hiss, the lizard lept from the chair and morphed mid-air into tiger form. The tigress stood portectivly infront of Tori, claws out, eyes fearful...but angery.
Jae was just preparing to pounce on him, her intension to maul when Tori dove in between them. She shoved at the new man, commanding him to leave. She heard "lab" in the males voice and her ears pinned. She let out a snarl of fearful rage and backed away, long talons clicking on the floor. His gaze was on her and it made her even more terrified. He looked at her like everyyone did. Most saw her and though "Lab Rat" and that meant pain.
Then Tori snarled. Jae was thrown off balance for a second. A human woman, snarling at a large male...to protect her? She puzzled for a moment over this. Victoria had been true to her word...Friend... Jae watched, still tucked against the wall until the man left. She then morphed back into a dog and jumped at Tori.
The dog landed at her feet and stood up on two legs, putting her front paws on Tori's shoulders. *Hurt?* A frightened voice said in her mind. The dog sniffed her over then went back on all fours. She buried her fuzzy face in Tori's hands and stood quivering in fear.

She smiled a little. ”No I’m not hurt. You ok? He won’t hurt you. And if he does just bite him. That’s what I do. Ok well I sent him on fire, but still.” she said with a small laugh. ”You made some people worried. I know you don’t like Lab’s but here we don’t run tests of any kind of mutants that don’t need or want it. If say someone suddenly combusted, I’d have to test them to see how THAT happened, but we don’t do what you went through.” she said petting the dog.
She stayed still petting her carefully. ”But that’s to much for today. Maybe soon you’ll figure it out. We are thinking of transferring you, but only when your ready. The X-men have better and calmer ways of training mutants to use their powers, and to do it smoothly. The Xavier institute is a school you see. You’d get to learn what ever you wanted there, and learn how to use your powers with out hurting yourself.” she said still talking, more to keep her mind of what it wanted to think about. ”Come on. Drink your water. We may have to go outside to let you go to the bath room, unless you know how to use a toilet. And then I think I’m going to attempt to put myself back to sleep. I can’t have jetlag.” she chuckled.
