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.

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.

"I'm cold," Charles finally speaks up as they approach their bedroom, pulling his cardigan tighter around him.

"I don't feel well at all, Erik."

Charles thinks that another dose of the first drug would be the simplest solution to all of his problems, but he bites his tongue, not wanting another argument. Instead he closes his eyes and lets Erik take over complete control.

Charles shakes his head. He feels hot and cold and more than a little sick. Food is the last thing on his mind.

"Water, maybe."

"He knows where to find me," Charles doesn't argue. If he is to be made helpless again, then there is no point in fighting the inevitable.

Charles does not ask for help, nor does he move, eyes closed as he grips the glass of water to him. He will sleep where he sits, if he is not given an alternative, too tired and ill to find the effort even to ask for assistance.

Handing the glass off to Erik, Charles struggles pathetically to get himself beneath the covers, not even attempting to try and undress himself. He's too cold to lose any layers, even if they're not appropriate for getting into bed.

Charles doesn't answer, giving up on his pointless fight with the bedclothes. He remembers, well enough, how to manipulate himself and his environment without the use of his legs, but he is too proud to stoop to such lows. He would rather suffer.

Charles is exactly where Erik had left him, on top of the covers with his head on the pillows, staring blankly up at the ceiling.

"You're worried. And angry. Raven's just worried. Scott's dreaming about his soldiers, and Alex is planning next week's meals," he rattles off when Erik comes back into the room.

"I can hear it all. Whether I want to, or not."

"There is no serenity with this noise in my head," Charles groans, choosing not to point out that the ache in his limbs (or at least those he can still feel) is not helping his mood much, either.

"I'm not training with you now," Charles answers, not even trying. He feels to wretched for that amount of effort.

Whilst Charles is out of practice, his ability to shield and filter offline, he cannot help but be bombarded by the force of the image Erik sends his way. His head is filled with their library, blotting out all other thoughts for a moment, and a small smile finally passes his lips.

"This... this is my ability, not yours," Charles looks started to find himself so immersed in Erik's mind.

"This is your mind you've brought me in to."
