He knows it the second he wakes up. Because there's this void in his head. Can't explain it, can only say it's wrong. As deeply wrong as anything has ever been in his life. Of course the only reason he even woke up was because of all of the shouting. The fear and the pain. And David swallows hard because he's reaching and there's nothing.
Which is what gets him grabbing at his jeans and a t-shirt, throwing himself out of the room, barely even acknowledging Josh as the gold-skinned idiot wakes up. No, his concern is the room across the hall. Is pushing past people so he can pound on it. Billy.
"Billy!" he shouts through the door. He should have fought harder when Emma found out they were dating. He shouldn't have let people change their rooms. He should be in there, knowing if Billy is feeling this same emptiness too.
An emptiness that can't just be David, because he thinks he just saw a girl that used to have purple skin and horns walk by. Without either of those.
"Billy, open up! Dammit, Jay, if you're in there, open the door, I need to see Billy."

1/11/19 19:44 (UTC)"When I get back to my room I can use my glasses for that. Unless Kitty or Beast locked me out of the computer systems."
Then he'd be able to figure it out.

1/11/19 21:40 (UTC)"Why would they lock you out?"
(no subject)
1/11/19 21:49 (UTC)Because David might have been able to get in. Once. He doesn't know if he could now.
(no subject)
1/11/19 21:52 (UTC)Maybe. Depending on how long they were out for. It felt like a good little while.
(no subject)
1/11/19 21:54 (UTC)Which feels so far away. And there's David, of course, having to deal with not being able to see the best. He needed another healing dose from Josh soon.

It's beyond bad.

1/11/19 22:47 (UTC)Billy tries to eat a little while David gets set up, but that exclamation has him looking up anxiously.
"...What'd you find?"
(no subject)
1/11/19 22:54 (UTC)And David just leans back against the desk, shaking.

1/11/19 23:04 (UTC)They should be out there. Those of them who still have their powers, they should be out there protecting everyone who doesn't-
(no subject)
1/11/19 23:07 (UTC)And he just leans into that light touch.
"I think Scott and Emma are trying to lock us down for our own sake."
Safety here. They're the next generation. Or some of them are.
