Jean took a slow, measured, breath. She was... it was similar to before, when she’d been between worlds with Alex, but it was... different, too. The important thing was that he was HERE. She could feel him, clear as day. Relief poured through her, and she made her way to the door that he lay behind. It was then that she became aware of blood trickling from her nose, echoing what was happening in the real world. She swiped it away with a hand, and pressed on.

The door was locked... and the longer she was here the more she was certain that Alex had created this space to die. With a flick of her fingers the door unlocked, and she pulled it open and stepped inside.

“Alex?” Her voice was hoarse and raspy, and very soft. It hurt her almost as much to use her voice as it did to use her telepathy, but it didn’t matter. What mattered was Alex. She could deal with the consequences of her actions after.

Her voice in the quiet startled him, and the light from outside the window began to shine on her like a spotlight. "Jean," he replied in a whisper, as if he didn't really believe it was her. "Your eyes are on fire," he told her. His tone was almost casual, indifferent.

What the hell?? Jean knelt next to him, putting a hand gently on his knee. She didn’t know what to do, what to say. But she had to do something, he was giving up and she couldn’t let him. His weird commentary about her eyes could wait.

“Alex... talk to me. Please.”

Alex blinked and stared at her. "About what?" he asked her. It wasn't that he was oblivious to the situation and what she might be there for, he just chose to ignore it because the truth that he was being tortured back in a universe that he didn't even belong in was too much.
