The screech affected every cell in Christina's body. She felt like her head was going to explode as she collapsed into the foetal position, hands covering her ears. She didn't realise she was screaming; she was in too much pain. Acid leaked from her pores, destroying everything in its path as it pooled outwards, edging ever closer to Drake and the Professor.

Drake saw his and the proffessors impending doom. The screeching rapping four cords around professors wheel chair, One around marco, and lifted them both up using the remainder of his cords.
Arianna was the first to recover from the Screech. Looking around she saw Christina, She was apparently in so much pain that her clothes had burnt with the acid, In a second she had thrown Glass over her, Made it into a stylish baby blue V necked tank top, With Blue Jeans which fitted her figure perfectly.

Christina lay lip, eyes closed, her breathing rather heavy. She slowly opened her eyes and looked around. A pool of acid spread around her. She flexed her hands and the pool quickly became smaller as she called it back to her.
Her head was throbbing dully. She slowly hoisted herself up, and stood. She noticed she had a blue tank top on and blue jeans which were different to what she was wearing.
"What the..?"
She looked around. She raised her eyebrows when she saw Drake holding himself, Professor Xavier and Marco high above the ground by use of several metal cables protruding from Drake's back.
"What happened?" she asked, a little dazed. Suddenly the earth started spinning and she crashed to the ground, not unconcious, just terribly dizzy.

Arianna Walked over to her. She put her hand on her shoulder and Knelt beside her. "Youre lucky I was here or you would have been going home naked. You lost all control. Acid dissolved your clothes. Dont worry, No one saw you, Except for me."

Christina stifled a laugh.
"Thanks," she said, offering Arianna a smile. She looked around and found a large piece of polished granite quite close to her, possibly from the bar.
She heaved the black rock onto her lap and passed her hands over it. Acid spilled from her palms, bubbling on the surface of the granite.
Christina would usually work much slower, but she had exactly in her mind what she was doing. In a matter of minutes she was finished and held a small black sculpture. It was a man, about three inches tall, not including the platform on which he stood. He stood tall, wearing Greek style robes, and a pair of wings stretched out from his back with a wingspan of about four inches. The statuette had been sculpted in great detail, almost life-like.
Christina held the man up for Arianna to take.
"A gift," she said. "For your help."

Thank you Christina, Kind looks like John dont it." Then she suddenly Remebered John "Oh crap. John" She ran upi the pile of rubbish and saw a young boy with jet balck hair, To large grey wings on his back and a tail, laying on the rubble. His fall damaged him severely. He had a large gaping hole in his head and It was pouring out blood. "Yo, Horace, Get over here." Horace ran over to her And Noticed John. He had a large peice of wood sticking into his stomach. Arianna Yanked it out and threw it away. Horace had already gotten his head wound fixed up and Now was wroking on his stomach. "Please, Leave us for a second." Arianna put his head down gently and got up. Her once glorious uniform soaked in blood now. Oh well, Thats the life of an X man

"Horace can do wonders," Christina said to Arianna. She then looked back up at Drake. "You boys alright up there?"

"Come down!" she called.

Drake lowered the wheelchair down first with professor In it. Then he lowered Marco. Then himself. His cord unwrapped from the pole he was hanging off.
Arianna had gone to change her clothes because of what happened to them. She Couldn't be bothered making her own so she put one of the spares in the Xvan on. It took longer than usual. It also was very unflattering to her physique, as it was 2 sizes to large.

Christina once again tried to stand, but her attempt was unsuccessful. Mesmero's scream seemed to have affected her more than the other mutants. She suspected she knew why, but wasn't so sure.

Drake saw Christina try to get up. He walked over to her and helped her up. He put her arm over his shoulder. Kissing her on the forehead he asked "Whats wrong. Why cant you stand?"

"It's nothing really..." she said softly. "I'm just kinda sick. See, my power means that I can't absorb sugar properly, therefore I suffer from a condition called Hypoglycemia. It can be fatal. If I don't get enough sugar in my bloodstream, I get lethargic and shaky. Normally I do, but I think that the amount of acid I used dried up the sugar in my blood."
She looked at Drake sadly.
"I'm sorry," she said. "I shouldn't have gotten you involved..."

"It's alright. I dont mind. KURT, FRONT AND CENTRE!"
Kurt appeared just before them.
"Kurt, can you please get this lovely lady a cookie, or three?"
"Aye Aye cap'n. Said kurt. Giving a two fiingered salute. Not like he had a choice. He only has two fingers and a thumb on each hand. He disappeared then reappered a second later. He gave Drake the cookies. "Only ones I could find." Drake Held them up for Christina to take."

"Thank you," Christina said, taking the cookies. She kissed Drake on the cheek and bit into a cookie. She bit off half of a palm-sized cookie and swallowed it after minimal chewing.
The cookie was gone within seconds. The next one; quicker. Christina chewed the third slower, and was about to put the last piece in her mouth, when she thought better of it and shoved it in Drake's mouth instead, grinning widely.
