Billy lays in a bed, attached to several healing machines, as they do their work and Hank McCoy watches from the sidelines.

Slowlyu, slowly, they pacth him up and whn they are done, Hank unattaches them, and slides them away. Hank covers him with several blankets.

Billy rolls onto his side and stares off into the darkness.

It has not been a great day. On top of everything else, he hurt Rachel... He sighs as he feels Hank's hand on his shoulder.

"We can talk more, later, if you want.. whenever you want to."

Billy nods and sighs.

"Thanks, Doc. Tell the others not to worry, okay?"

Hank smiles.

"I will tell them. They will worry anyway."

He turns towards the office.

"Night Billy."

She rolled responses around in her head and chuckled "Worn out"

Then she glanced back at him as she held open the infirmary doors "Where's my sucker?"

[withamagicword]

He pulls out one and smiles.

"Hope you like grape..."

He smiles faintly as he follows her and blinks at the bar, hesitating at all the people.

She doesn't let him hesitate more than a heartbeat, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and tucking him in close against her side as she weaves among the people, sucker in cheek.

They're going to bed, and she can actually get hot cocoa from Bar without detouring, had love teke sometimes.

[withamagicword]

he smiles a little, feeling a little safter in her arms. He nods.

"You are the coolest, Rachel."

[futures_of_ash]

She does what she can.

"Nah, cause I'm not feeding you ice cream before bed..." nope, just this...chocolate mousse cocoa? Oh, well, nifty!

"But I'll accept cool"

[withamagicword]

He smiles a little. Truthfully, he wont take a lot of the chocolate tonight. Even healed, his stomach is telling him it isnt ready for much of anything.

He smiles a little though. Big sisters rule.

"Thanks."

As they get to the stairs and go up, he feels himself relax a little. Maybe he can rest, just a little...
