XMFC/Where's Scott?

The fire is roaring in the grate, the drawing room an insulated haven from the chilly expanse of the mansion. Despite Hank and Alex's experiments with capturing Havok power, the old building remains draughty and difficult to warm.

However, Erik is perfectly content. He is sitting on the sofa, Charles sprawled across his lap in a position that would've been completely impossible only a few months ago. He rests his elbow on the arm of the sofa, a book of philosophy open but it's his lover who holds his attention, his hand softly caressing his hair.

Charles has never looked more content, more relaxed. The only sting in the tail is that Erik cannot feel his happiness, one step removed from the intimacy they once shared.

"He's fine," Hank holds out a hand to Erik's chest to stop him. "Or he will be. The... the original medication he was on. The one that blocked his power, but gave him his legs. The component I've removed in the new version... it appears it was highly addictive. The Professor is experiencing the first symptoms of withdrawal."

Hank looks suitably apologetic. "I cannot let him go back to it, now. It's too dangerous."

Hank shakes his head.

"I'll keep experimenting, but don't get your hopes up. That's the compound that blocked his ability. The addictive one."

"It'll get worse before it gets better," Hank warns, before looking Erik up and down, trying to decide whether he's the kind of person who might have experienced withdrawal first-hand, or seen it up close.

"You know how withdrawal goes."

Hank nods again.

"Come and find me if you need me," he offers, before leaving Erik to be with his fiancé.

"I can't not listen," Charles complains. "I can hear the whole house as though you're all screaming in my ear."

Charles nods. He doesn't want to say anything out loud that might be taken as an agreement with Hank's suggestion. He's too busy struggling to come to terms with the idea that the drug that gave him back his legs has been taken away from him.

"I don't feel well," Charles complains and tries to turn his back, though with his legs back to dead weights he only truly succeeds in shifting his shoulders.

"I can't get to bed," Charles says pointedly into the sofa cushion.

"I can't move. Just like you've always wanted."

"You want me on this drug," Charles points out.

"You'd take my mind over my legs."
guideshapelead: (Anxious)

Charles doesn't answer, biting his lip as he waits for whatever Erik might say or do next. He is helpless to resist him, unable to get away, too out of practice to use his telepathy to protect himself.

Charles keeps up his silence. If Erik wants him as his puppet, so be it. He hasn't the strength to resist.
guideshapelead: (Anxious)

[personal profile] guideshapelead 2014-10-03 09:01 pm (UTC)(link)
"Don't just stand there and stare at me," Charles finally snaps.

"You know I can't move myself."
guideshapelead: (Anxious)

[personal profile] guideshapelead 2014-10-03 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if he had all his old upper body strength, Charles is too distracted by the violent return of his power to give it his full concentration. Not to mention that he feels as though he's caught in the midst of a particularly violent bout of flu.

He lets Erik lift him into his chair, compliant as a ragdoll.
