(OOC: Kinda ran out of interesting ways to describe the fact I'm currently knocked out and carried like a bag of potatoes, so I'm just gonna say, "still knocked out, but still hangin' round.  Don't worry, I'm used to being knocked out, lol.)

Storm stumbled to her feet, and watched the Phoenix take away Rogue, Nightcrawler close behind. She ran after them, unsure of what was happening, or what happened since she was knocked out, so unwilling to do anything rash.
Just following.

As soon as Nightcrawler exits the Danger Room, the computers shut down the entire house. In the ensuing darkness, Storm doesn't know where the others are. So only Nightcrawler knows that Phoenix takes Rogue to the infirmary, where the professor's still unconscious. Here we go! Phoenix places Rogue's bare hand on Charles' forehead. "NO!"Rogue's scream mixes rage and terror, as her world shatters. Thoughts, emotions, lives--none of her own--flood her brain. She is drowning, losing all sense of self, tumbling gratefully toward oblivion. One voice makes itself heard above the multitude--gentle but unyielding, showing her how to restore order to the madcap chaos of her brain. The voice uses everything taught them by Xavier, everything learned through the psychic rapport they shared with Jean Grey. The voice belongs to Cyclops! Nightcrawler's Health: 1/3
Nightcrawler's Energy: 8/9
[Nightcrawler still believes it's Dark Phoenix in the infirmary with Rogue and Xavier.]
Rogue's Health: 3/3
Rogue's Energy: 3/9
[Rogue now has Professor Xavier's Telepathy Action and is the only one who knows that it is not Dark Phoenix but Cyclops standing beside her.]
Storm's Health: 3/3
Storm's Energy: 3/9
[Storm can find the others by moving in the direction of Rogue's scream.] |

"Rogue! What is happening?!" Kurt shouts, perhaps only adding to the chaos, but he knows no better.

Rogue
-...Unnnnnh...!
Chaotic, stifling feelings and emotions filled Rogue's mind and thoughts as her power, her curse, activated by the contact of her skin with the Professor's. She felt like she could have died, or maybe lost her mind... but somehow, a voice leads her mind back to safety, leaving behind the vortex of chaos and confusion that threatened to engulf her. A voice she somehow recognized...
-...C-Cy...? .....Cyclops...? Is that really you...?
Her own voice is still somewhat weak as both her mind and body are still tired due to the ordeal she has just endured, but as her ideas clear, she begins to understand slightly more the situation, so she forces herself to speak louder. Her contact with Xavier's skin temporarily gave her his telepathic powers, and she knows for sure that "Dark Phoenix" is actually Scott Summers. Now, to tell the others before things turn ugly.
-...It's okay, Kurt! Hold yer punches, ye hear? And ah mean all of y'all! This ain't not the girl you think it is... actually, ain't no girl at all.
She held out her hand to "Dark Phoenix", obviously puzzled... and a little angry. She knew that it was probably necessary for him to have done what he did to her, having her use her power and all... but still... she was in somewhat of a bad mood regardless:
-My glove, please. Care to tell me what the heck's goin' on here?

OOC: Minor detail. Rogue doesn't know Cyclop's voice very well. I think she met him in Japan at Wolverine's wedding. (I'l have to verify that.) And now after he dropped out of the sky.

Nightcrawler and Storm still think they are facing Phoenix.
"Rogue," Cyclops says, "A mindlink already exists between us--simply expand it to include the others. Follow my lead and you'll be okay."
Nightcrawler's Health: 1/3
Nightcrawler's Energy: 9/9
[Still believes it's Dark Phoenix in the infirmary talking to Rogue.]
Rogue's Health: 3/3
Rogue's Energy: 6/9
[Has Professor Xavier's Telepathy Action but doesn't really know how to use it. Cyclops assures her that if she relaxes, she can telepathically communicate the truth to the other X-Men.]
Storm's Health: 3/3
Storm's Energy: 5/9
[Has now joined the others in the infirmary.]

Nightcrawler is ready at a moment's notice to leap into action. But the Phoenix isn't actively attacking, so there must be something going on...

Rogue
-...No sudden moves, Kurt. Hold it for a sec.
The mutant girl stood in front of Nightcrawler, holding her hand in front of him as a sign not to attack. Whatever he believed to be happening, she fully intended to make them stand down until she could make them see the truth. Meanwhile, she heard Cyclops' thoughts in her mind:
"Rogue... A mindlink already exists between us--simply expand it to include the others. Follow my lead and you'll be okay." He also assured her that relaxing herself will help her showing the truth to the others. Easier said than done, however. Cyclops did made her touch another person's skin against her will, so she was angry, even though she understood why he had done it. Regardless, this was for the best of everyone involved, and at the moment, she was the only one who could do it. She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and closed her eyes, willing herself to calm down and not let her feelings take over her thoughts.
"Alright... let's just get this over with", she thought back to Cyclops as she did her best to both relax and use her new telepathic abilities to expand their psychic link to the others so they could see the truth as well.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start
H: 3/3
E: 6/9
Not sure how I'm supposed to do this, but...
2 stones into Intelligence to calm down and attempt to use my new powers the way Cyclops wants me to.
I'm also willing to spend my 4 remaining stones of Energy to do so, although I don't have a "visible" action on my CAD to do so, so I'll just assume it's there. In other words, I'm using all my stones in an effort to do this, and successfully expand my psychic link to my friends, despite not being used to it.
End
E: 0/9
Defense: 5 (Toughness)
Mental Defense: 10 (2 Intelligence, 8 Mental Defense)

Storm steps into the room, slowly. For some reason, Kurt wasn't doing anything, so for the moment, the situation looked stable. She watched with a cautious eye, ready to make a move if neccesary.

Rogue gets into Storm and Nightcrawler's heads so the X-Men can see that they're not facing Phoenix. It's Cyclops! The X-Men have been suckered! But how do they know this isn't a trick? Nightcrawler's Health: 1/3
Nightcrawler's Energy: 9/9
Rogue's Health: 3/3
Rogue's Energy: 3/9
[Those 4 stones spent last Panel went to an absorbed Telepathy Action.]
Storm's Health: 3/3
Storm's Energy: 8/9 |

"Sc...Cyclops!" Nightcrawler stammers, "What are you doing here? What's going on?!"
