timeline: after Phoenix Meets War
Rachel: Rachel had slunk back down to the medlab and ran into Scott as she'd attempted to sneak back into her room without him noticing. She opened her mouth to start explaining, gave up, and shook her head, "I don't have any excuses."
DrSummers: He crossed his arms and looked down at her disapprovingly. "I'm sure you don't." He escorted her back to her bed. "I don't want you leaving yet, thank you. You can have visitors down here, but you sneaking off without permission could be dangerous for you, and everyone at this school. Until I deem you safe enough to leave, you are to remain right here."
Rachel: "I'm fine," she insisted with a sigh as she took her seat on the edge of her bed, "I guess I'll have to start making friends if I want visitors since Bobby and Pietro aren't exactly welcome, and Rogue's... y'know..."
DrSummers: Scott pulled a chair over. "Physically...yes. Mentally and powers-wise? I'm still debating. But enough of that - why don't you feel as though you have friends? There are plenty of people who want you back safe and sound."
Rachel: "It's not that I don't feel like I have friends because I know I do, and they did get me back," Rachel shook her head and scooted to lean back against her pillow, giving a slight smile, "It's more I'm not really familiar with anyone here… Student-wise. And most of the people are students."
DrSummers: "Yeah, I know that feeling." He grinned suddenly. "I'm here to talk too. And I know all about going from student to adult teacher, but then you could always hang out more often with the students, too. Get to know them a little better." He paused. "It will be like bashing your head against a brick wall sometimes, as you know you've done that and been there."
Rachel: "I think that sounds like a decent plan. I mean, there's plenty around here. Even just down here with me that I could get to know," Rachel returned the grin. It couldn't be that hard to get to know some of the students hanging around, besides what Scott pointed out. "Do you have anything I can do to make the whole getting out of here process faster?"
DrSummers: "Well, I need to finish running some tests, and we need to test your powers, and have Charles take a quick peek in your head to make sure that you are indeed only you in there still. And then you'll be able to leave. My tests will probably take the rest of today, but we can squeeze you in with Charles while we wait on some results?"
Rachel: Rachel considered that and nodded as she processed it all. It all sounded reasonable. "My powers…" she started, pausing to think about how to phrase it. Taking in a breath, she continued, "They're a bit… touchy, I guess."
DrSummers: "Yeah, I know, which is why I want to test them, to see how twitchy they are. How much control you have."
Rachel: "Well, I feel like I have a handle on them when it comes to just sitting here," Rachel shrugged, "But, yeah, I'm not sure when it comes to actually using them, which I imagine is where the testing comes in…"
Rachel: She trailed off as she considered the idea of testing her powers, frowning at the idea of her telepathy being pushed. After a few more moments of debate, she finally asked, "After… After what happened with Jason, is it actually a good idea to test my telepathy? Because, I mean… I don't know what you have in mind for that, but I don't want to… y'know…"
DrSummers: Scott nodded. "I understand, but you'll have to use it a little to make sure you can control yourself so you don't do it again. That, I'm sure will take a while to get as much control as you had, I had in mind of just general control so you'll be safe to put back into the general population."
Rachel: "That sounds like it should be easy enough," Rachel reasoned.
DrSummers: "Annnd if all goes to pot, there are some excellent safe gaurds, so not to worry. So, shall I draw up a little more blood and we can start that going and then off to the DR to check your control?"
Rachel: She gave him a grin and nodded, "That sounds like a plan."
DrSummers: "Right then." He stood up and went to get the kit he needed. "Now, promise you won't go sneaking out again," he said upon his return.
Rachel: "Promise."
