Andy was up late, Working on stocking the medical cabinets. He actually didn't mind the chore, He liked his duties there. he prefered to think of himself as a healer first and all of his other gifts where second. He reached for another box of gause pads. He was getting comfortable in this time, It was like a dream come true. Friends, family, all alive, not running from the metal monstrosities that Primus had loosed on them. He actually was dreaming of what winter would be like here, as he placed a vail of swabs up on the shelf, then the alcohol. Life was good. which was why he had been putting off looking for his mother. he sighed, He wanted to see her again, but had been so taken in by the Mansion that he had allowed his priorities to become blurred. He resolved to set out for the forest in the morning, To confront his mother and tell her of the future that he knew. He whispered a silent prayer that she would listen, as he continued the stocking.

They arrive, almost knocking the man who was stocking shelves over as they basically crash into him. She looks back and sees that the guy has collapsed and just looks down at the man she just fell on to. "Help!"

"Okay Lorna," He looks at her puzzled, then recognizes the familiar shape of Archer lieing on the floor. He turns and moves archer onto the examination table, His condition was bad. He'd never seen the man hurt like this during the war, touching the wound, He turned to Lorna, "What happened?"

"Sorry Andy... I didn't recognize you from the back there." She laughed slightly. "Well... all I can say there is BIG ***** purple robots!" Her breaths were still a bit ragged as she tried to clear her lungs of the smoke and other scents she'd unwittingly inhaled. "They were attacking this I guess you would call it a halfway house. And this man" She nodded over at the prone form on the table. "He's hurt really bad"

"Are you sure?" This was bad, Archer was bleeding out as Andy channeled his own energy into a healing bio energy and released it into Archer's body. he looked back at Lorna, "This isn't good. Sentinals are already cropping up, and god we aren't even cooperating amongst our selves. On top of that this is archer simmons, Possibly the most dangerous mutant currently alive. " He looked back at him, then to lorna again, his face filled with concern, "He's a sympathized with your father, and the mutant responsible for sending me back to stop this whole mess. We've gotta help him but be careful doing it, since he's bound to lash out when he comes to." He pulls a pair of glasses from his pocket, Archer had sent them with him, but wasn't sure why he had. He uncertainly placed them on his face, as the wound slowly began to close. "THis is more than a little odd, We'll need to tell the professor, maybe he'll know what to do. "

"Of course I'm sure! I was face to face with those things! They didn't look like they were there for a picnic when I showed up!" She listened as Andy spoke, her eyes growing a bit wide at the mention of her father. "Wha.. what? My father sent him? Ok... There's alot I obviously don't know, but I'll save the Q&A for later. Right now, I'll just give you a hand."
Lorna sighed heavily and shook herr head. "Hopefully, someone will have some answers as to what to do."

"According to him in the time period I'm from, He was imprisoned after causing a space shuttle to implode, and escaped a week or so ago. belining for the city, where he began to encounter Brotherhood mutants who where of a like mind. Humanity was responsible for making him, Not himself. their prize Guinea pig flew the coup and turned into a wolf thanks to years of experiments and torture. In this era, he's pretty bad, hates humans for what they did, with few exceptions. I guess it's fortunate that in the time I came from he mellowed a bit, either way his power level is on par with your father or Jean, he's a living black hole, capable of bending time and space by manipulating gravity. needless to say I'm at a quandary, I could sedate him, or Leave him lucid, Not sure which he'll react better to. " the wound is closing more quickly now, soon he will be healed.

"Leave him as lucid as you can I suppose." She sighed heavily, "But if he gets too rowdy, I'll have to knock him on his keister." She sat down heavily in a metal chair and began rubbing her eyes. Clearing the smoke from them and trying to clear her mind as what Andy was saying to her sank in. "So, this poor man was just a friggin experiment to those people? Just someone they thought they could use for their own gain and benefit?" The thought really did not sit well with her as she looked over to where Archer lay.

"Yep, A child genius, Caught him when he was ten years old, Locked him up and threw away the key. They where scared of him, According to what he told me in the future, he was kept passive through the use of drugs and nullification fields. so they could study him like some sort of lab animal. He broke out in the late nineties and was defeated in nevada, sent back, and locked up again until they tried to move him. he got loose from the convoy that was moving him, and came here. " He shook his head, just imagining how he had reacted to seeing the robots that had attacked him. then looked back to Lorna, "On top of this he's brilliant, which is why the debate over sedating him, On one side he knows how to do a lot of damage, but on the other if we do, he might think he's back in a government facility. Neither is a good thing. "

"No." She sighed, "That's not a very good thing at all." She shook her head. "We'll just have to hope that he doesn't lash out. I don't want him thinking he's been recaptured. Besides, I think right now all the man wants to do is get a little rest. I know that I would if this had happened to me."

Archer's eyes fluttered open, He could see again, where had the new glasses come from? He studied his surroundings, listening and looking, There was discussion going on near him, two voices discussing him. He focoused on what they were saying, Looking to the direction where the voices originated from. he was tired, the wound had nearly killed him. He almost wished it had, the surroundings reminded him of his cell, the sterile environment made him uneasy. but there was something that made him realize he wasn't a captive, the voices, no hint of fear or disgust as they discussed him. the monkies had always loathed him, hatedx him for what he was and fearing what he could do if he got out. These voices did neither, they spoke about him with a hint of what he believed was concern, compassion was almost alien to him, only his parents ever showed him that. But the voices where unfamiliar. he carefully sat up.

Lorna heard the sound behind them as she and Andy spoke. She turned to see that Archer was slowly sitting up and held up a friendly hand. "Hey... take it slowly there fella. Don't want you getting woozy and passing out on us again." Her smile was warm and friendly as she guaged his reactions.

"You, You helped me. I remember. You're like me, where am I. Did they catch you too? " His mind was spinning fast, Questions on questions, Where where they here, Who where they. What had happened was this another facility? Confusion spread across his face, his eyes calmly looking around for signs as to the nature of the place he was at. Faling on the X insignia, his mind traveled back to what Warren had said about the X people, He had resolved that this was just a different approach to the same goal, but still one he could never take. His own innocence had been sacrificed by humanity out of their unreasoning apathetic hatred for what he was. In his mind it weas only a matter of time until they tried to lock them all up or worse. He looked back at Lorna, "X-Men? " he was unsure of the name, but knew if that was the cas what it meant.

"This is where the X-Men are housed, yes. But you're in the medical facility with me and Andy. And you're safe, I promise." Lorna walked over closer to Archer and extended her hand. "My name is Lorna. People call me Polaris." She said this with a slight chuckle. "Thankfully, the both of us were able to beat the Sentinels and you were just barely able to get us here where Andy healed your wounds." She gave Andy a warm smile as she turned back to Archer.

He nodded, He trusted her, She could have killed him back at the motel, but helped him for no reason. She was definitely a Mutant. just like he was, So was the man with her. he adjusted the glasses, studing their reactions as he took everything in. "My friend told me you think that we can live with the humans, How? they want us dead. " He shook his head, He was debating but then again, Maybe he was warning them, "THey lock us up out in the desert and traet us like we're not even sentient. like we're toys to be broken when ever they want. How can they be defended, what they do is... is UNFORGIVABLE!"
