Chapter 5
Emma POV
I rushed into the infirmary and saw Julian place Laura on a bed.
“What’s wrong? Is she going to be okay?” he asked frantically. Julian had come to see Laura as a little sister.
“Julian, go to your room, Laura will be fine but first tell me: what happened?” I asked him.
“We were watching a movie and I noticed she was twitching then she just collapsed,” he said.
“Hank, what happened?” I asked the Doctor.
“It appears that Miss Kinney’s healing factor had a minor overload. It had been trying to heal a preexisting injury for some time.” he explained, checking a chart.
“I checked her memories and they appear to be black.” I said.
“What the heck does that mean?” asked Cessily. I turned around and saw all of the new X-men standing there.
“I told you all to go to bed.” I said to them.
”Miss Frost, I say this with full respect, I’m not going to sleep while my friend is in the infirmary.” said Sooraya, looking at Laura with concern.
Laura Pov
i woke up to the sound of Sooraya talking to Miss Frost. “Laura, are you alright?”I heard Dr. McCoy say to me.
“I’m alright, was just tired, it’s nothing to concerned about.”
He told me to open my eyes the I felt a small bright light go across them. “Laura, I need you to read this.” I looked to where I heard his voice, and sighed. The jig was up.
”I can’t, sir.” I said and pushed the blanket from over me to get out of the bed. Infirmaries and hospitals still brought back bad memories.
“What do you mean? You can’t read?” Victor ask.
“It’s not that I can’t read. It’s that I can’t see,” I whispered.
“Laura, speak up, what’s wrong?” Emma said.
”I can’t see! I’m blind! Can you hear me now?” I shouted. There was dead silence after. “If you need me, I’ll be packing my bags,” I said, walking out of the infirmary.
