They won. Badly

Cain crosses his arms, staying next to Tom.

"We cleaned up your mess, Cable. You best finish the job yourself."

[marvel_citizens]

Saam just shakes off everything, even the blood splattered on his face and the likely concussion, and helps Cable's automaton tend to Xavier, getting him to a med table.

"We need to help the professor..."

[marvel_citizens]

Roberto wants to check on Theresa, but Jimmy and Sean are tending to that well enough, and Sam looks shaky.

"Sangano got away," he mutters...

[x_professor_x]

"He's alive." Professor X's mouth doesn't move, despite his voice being clearly audible. He might not even know he's telepathicly emitting-the pain is blinding.

Otherwise, he just lays there as he is tended to, recalling...every other time his body has been taken away from him. Is it just fate?

Siryn is rocking gently back and forth, her arms wrapped around herself as her widened eyes stare into the middle distance.

[ororo_munroe]

"So are we. We'll find him again if have to. She saved him." But not now, nor soon.

"She saved him," Ororo repeats with a murmur. "How could she have-" but the sentence dies. She wants to stay detached. To not feel the well of every emotion that comes from emerging through a no-win situation.

Maddie had saved her son and Charles too.

Blue eyes watch with worry as the automotons work.

Sean hasn't left his daughter's side, and he's trying to provide what comfort he can. Everyone else's words are just background noise. He has her back, and right now, that's all that matters.

Deadpool is horribly bent, nearly in half, and his neck is twisted.

His chest caved in and ribs tearing through his clothing.

Blood is still pooling around his body.

[cable_ready]

Cable remains a lump against the wally, focusing any energy he can spare toward coordinating the automatons working on Xavier, accessing his medical records that show up on the monitors - medical records one might be surprised that he has in the first place...

Domino lets Nathan work.

Instead, since she's reasonably intact, she heads over towards Theresa.

Bending her knees to lower herself, and putting a hand on one of hers.

"Talk to me, Siryn."

[terry_cassidy]

"I told him 'twas wrong," she says, as if continuing a conversation. "I told him not to. I tried to reach out--I tried to run--I didn't want to kill him, but I tried--he'd made his choice, and said I had none--"

[marvel_citizens]

"This isn't your fault," she says, firmly, putting a hand to her chin to try and get her eyes to focus on something.

"Look at me."

[terry_cassidy]

"--I remember screamin', but it didn't--what?" She blinks, as if it takes her a little while to register Domino's words, Domino's touch. "What?"

[marvel_citizens]

She's never been good at the emotional crap, but dammit if these kids aren't like... kids to her sometimes.

Domino's eyes focus squarely on her, and she even touches a hand to the side of her head.

"It's over now. It's finally over. Breathe. Deep and steady."

[terry_cassidy]

Terry blinks again, then lets her head droop. "How long?" she whispers.

[marvel_citizens]

Not news she wants to be the one to break to her.

She glances to Colossus, who was one of the last people to see her before she vanished.

Then again... if there's anyone who knows how Theresa feels right now, it's Domino, who lost a year of her own life in a dungeon, while that idiot Wilson's ex Copycat impersonated her.

"About a year."
