nightmares (tag slade)

Slade sat in the darkness at his desk. He sometimes found himself just sitting there in the darkness just thinking. He rarely slept and was often either patrolling the camp keeping it safe or just sitting in his tent thinking about his past and the future of the camp. When he heard a small voice he stood up and engulfed his hand in flame for a light. He recognized the voice as Meg's and he went to the entrance. "I'm awake Meg. Is something wrong?"

Slade could see that she was having a vision. He quickly grabbed her shoulders and sat her on his bed. He kneeled down to be level with her facae. "Focus Meg. Clear your mind and focus. Let the thoughts flow through your mind and create a clear picture." Slade kept his hands on her shoulders to help support her and keep her from falling over. "Breath Meg, just breath."

Slade looked as the pain seemed to get worse for Meg. He quickly grabbed some water and splashed her in the face with it. "Meg snap out of it. Don't force yourself into it you might not come out." He had seen mutants get lost during this visions and not come out for months. "Come on Meg. Come back to me." Slade moved his hands from her shoulders and gripped her hands. "You can do it."

Slade sighed in relief as her eyes made contact with his. He relaxed and let go of her hands. "You really scared me there for a bit." He walked over to his desk and grabbed some more water. He handed the cup to her gingerly. "Drink this, your body is probably wanting fluids." He pulled a chair over to the bed and sat in it. "You ok there girl?" He was still a little worried that she might've hurt herself during the visioin. "Any physical pain or injuries of any type?"

Slade grabbed a rag and dabbed her head with it. "That was quite the rush you had there. Let me just check you over to make sure ok?" He grabbed her face and looked in each eye making sure they were still in good condition. He then looked at her hands to make sure she hadn't clenched them too hard. He then checked her back and feet for any sign of injury. "Well it looks like you managed to keep from hurting yourself. It's always dangerous whenever you have a vision. Some of them can even cause serious injury to your internal organs."

Slade brushed a hair out of her face and laughed slightly at her comment. "Well I'm glad to see your humor is still intact." He looked in her eyes when she asked about his mission,. He guessed she had seen something involving him and possibly the mission. "What's wrpng Meg? Did you see something?" He didn't want to push her too quickly since she had just had it, but he could tell she wanted to tell him.

Slade thought about the words she had just said. He found it hard to believe that F.R.O.G.S. would be advanced enough to catch him, but on the other hand, he wasn't one to doubt visions. "Well Meg it is possible this is happening far into the future. I do have preparations in place for a scenario such as that. Dimitri would then pick up the mantle and he would lead the mutants." He then gave a stern look to Meg. "I don't want any rescue attempts do you hear me?" He knew that they had no idea when this might take place, but he did not want them going on a suicide mission to save him. Slade relaxed and sat on the bed next to her. "I'm sorry I just worry about all of you going into danger, althouhg I know I can't prevent it."
