You decide every moment of every day... (CLOSED)

Who: Charles (Daisy, Jean, Tex, Peter)
When: The day Charles wakes up from Cryo
Where: Medical, Moro deck, kipos garden, bow observation deck
What: Charles has been in cryo for a few months and he's waking up to a few changes. And people.
Warnings: Nooooone?

[A]

He was just... sleeping. Charles could remember sleeping a lot back in New York. Usually he slept off his hangovers, that wasn't what this was. For one, he hadn't been drinking prior to this that he could remember. Second, he didn't sleep completely naked. Or in medical in a cryo unit. After taking a moment to gather his thoughts, he pulled himself out of the unit, looking around for something to cover himself. And then hopefully his uniform. He wasn't going to wander around in nothing but a towel, after all.

His clothes had to be stored nearby right? Whoever had put him here wouldn't have carried him naked from... where ever he'd been. He had to have been stripped down here, it only made sense. Once found, he wasted no time changing. Better to wear the ships uniform than nothing at all.

[B]

He made his way to his room when he could, sure (hoping) his things hadn't been tampered with by his roommates. The first thing he really wanted to do was grab a glass and some of the whiskey he'd bought on the planet they'd visited when the Ingress had first brought him here. And then he'd think of what else he should do, where else he should go.

The rooms were still strange looking in his opinion (what was wrong with regular beds, why did these have to hang from the ceiling?) but he'd gotten used to them. And the room he was assigned was large enough that his belongings wouldn't have been in the way while he slept.


[C]

He never had visited the garden before, what he was starting to think of it as, his coma. It seemed relaxing though, or relaxing enough, and he could use that. When he found the tree and all the candles, it wasn't just the compulsion to do so that had him lighting a candle. It was clearly some kind of tradition, and something to be respected. And he would do just that.

The glass sculpture he found left him unsettled. He knew what he looked like: fuzz on his face and long unkempt hair. He needed to work on that a bit. But when he looked into it, for a moment he glimpse himself when he had first met Erik, another moment showed him when he'd been twelve. And another showed him an older, bald, man. That wasn't going to happen. He was quite fond of his hair, thank you very much.

[D]

Looking at the stars from the observation deck was nice. He hadn't studied it before, it didn't interest him like it did Hank, but he had to admit that it was fascinating. Mostly that they could travel space at all, that he was far into the future. That wasn't quite so odd considering Logan had traveled to the past but still, it was fascinating. And he hoped that coming to the bow meant he wouldn't be disturbed quite as much as he would elsewhere.

She continues to stare at him for a long moment, taking in a deep breath through her nose and blinking a bit. She was not going to cry. It doesn't matter if her fears were true; that he didn't know her at all. (Again. Just like Peter.)

The step back happens without her realizing it but she stays where she is, swallowing the lump in her throat and trying to force a smile, "I guess not. I seem to be from too far ahead." For him, for Peter.

Even when she wasn't alone, she was.

She nods, looking down at the floor, closing her eyes long enough to will back the tears. When she looks back up, her eyes are a little bloodshot from the effort but her cheeks are dry.

"I know. It's just... not the same."

A beat, as she forces out, her voice tighter, "You're not the same." She doesn't feel it. His powers. That link they had. And that cut right through her.

She goes stiff in the embrace, her arms remaining at her sides. She tries to lift them up but then they go back down. She wishes more than anything she could return the hug. God knows she's missed him. Wanted him here. Needed him here when she's been feeling so lost.

But it's not him.

She steps back, pulling away from him, shaking her head. Her voice cracks, "I'm sorry. I can't."

She honestly thought she could do this.

She shakes her head again, not able to keep the pain from her expression as she looks back at him, "What happened to you? I--I don't understand. How can you not have your powers?"
