Slade sat at his desk which now had the body of Near sitting on it. He blamed himself for not preparing for such an event. He hadn't figured out what had happened yet, but he planned to get information from those there. He feared for Jeri and how much this was affecting her. He had her put in a holding area far enough from the camp so her powers wouldn't hurt anyone. The time had come for Slade to move on from his own problems and pay more attention to those who looked up to him before they decided they'd be better on their own. He stared at Near's body imagining what the boy must have gone through. The boy had looked up to him ever since Slade had helped him escape, and this is what happened to him.

Meg had heard about all the events of today. Jeri who lost it. Near who died. It was terrible. This sure had itd effect on the camp. Who knew a little girl like jeri had this much power.. Better question. What had upset her that much. Had near said something to her? She couldnt imagine near doing that. Especially since he, jeri and esmeralda seemed close. She made her way to slades tent as she figured that he needed someone right now. Letting him feel bad alone in his tent was not the right thing as she got to his tent. "Slade? Are you in there?" it wouldnt be a surprise if he was. She just wanted to ask before walking in on him.

Slade turned his head toward the door when he heard Meg's voice. He remembered their last talk and how he had gotten angry at her for leaving the camp, another example of his wonderful leadership. Slade sighed and went to the door. "I'm here Meg. I assume you heard about the tragedy that happened today?" Slade stepped to the other side of the door and closed it behind him. He didn't want her to see Near the way he was.

Meg and slade had not really talked after she and alphonse had told him about their fight in the city she had been ashamed of her actions but still. She had to she couldnt let the others sit there in pain. She saw slade as he got into the door opening. "I did.. I came to check on you.." she said softly

Slade could see her concern for him and it made him sad to think about the strain he had put between them with their last conversation. "Thank you Meg, I appreciate your concern. It appears as if my leadership has been lacking lately. I haven't been the leader this camp has needed which has caused others like you and Al to step up and take care of things that were needed."

Meg frowned a little at his words. "No.. You were right alphonse and I were in danger when we got to the city. Horrible things could have happend. You have all rights to scold us for that. We indeed didnt see the risk. Well not before seishin and azula got there aswell.. What im trying to say is that nobody knows whats going to happen. Nobody could have known jeri was going to snap.. This didnt happen because you would be a bad leader because youre not a bad leader.. This happend out of nowhere.. an accident.. A terrible accident.." she said thinking of near. She had not really been close to near or anything but she had talked to him once and saw him with the kids. He had loved jeri.

Slade knew that she believed in him which lifted his spirits slightly, but Slade also knew that not many mutants in the camp agreed with her. "Unfortunately leaders must assume all accidents as their responsibilities. This was a terrible accident, but things have now gone from shaky to a crumbled mess." Slade's original plan had involved three leaders, but with the turn of events it had shifted into one lonely leader.

Meg looked at him. "You dont have to carry all the problems around the camp on your own you know" she said. Having to deal with everything alone would destroy him from the inside. She looked at slade. He shouldnt be afraid to ask for help

Slade had delegated some of the responsibilities, but the majority remained on his shoulders. To be honest, Slade was waiting for the mutants he had been searching for to appear. The mutants he was seeking were some of the best he had known in his timeline, and he had hoped to get their help in the current timeline, but with most of them still in hiding, he had kept too much of the weight. "I was waiting."

Meg was still a bit confused. Ofcourse she didnt know what he was up to. "For who..for what?" she asked a bit hesitant. She wanted to help him but how could she do that if he left her in the dark. Appearantly who or what he was waiting for had not showed up yet.

Slade realized he had confused Meg which was understandable since most of the important details were still in Slade's head. "There are mutants out there which I had been searching for, and they were supposed to help me lead this camp, but they're still in hiding and I haven't been able to pick up a trail on any of them."

Meg nodded as she now had a better picture of what was going on. "But.. You cant focus on finding those people and lead the camp all by yourself. Sooner of later that will get too much for you" she said. She already was concerned about his lack of sleep and all his worried would keep him up at night she thought.

Sometimes Slade wondered whether or not he was still in touch with reality. Sometimes life seemed very far away and he easily got lost in his thoughts. Maybe Meg was right and he was trying to do too much at once without considering the camp. "You might be onto something, but finding these mutants is important since they will be the ones to tip the scales in our favor."

Meg looked at him. "I see.. may i suggest something? Why not give some people you trust the lead over certain things. Like.. Let jason lead the trainings.. Let alphonse lead the kids etc. If you want i could even take the medical side. that way you have more time for yourself to relax a little and focuss more on finding those mutants" she offered with a soft smile. "You let those people come to tell you once there are problems and let them come once a weak to tell you how they are holding up and what they are working on". She tried to help

Slade thought about her words and the mutants he had on hand. It was true that none of them were the ones he was looking for, but there were some good mutants in the camp who were good at leading and had the respect of other mutants. "There are some real strong mutants here as well some good leaders. I guess my imagining of what this camp would be is different then what it became. Things are going to have to change and I'm going to need help." Slade thought about the situation the camp was in and how it needed more help than he had been giving.
