“Well too bad you’re totally fuss worthy. I don’t make the rules here.”

“I-I’m really not.” Josh shook his head, “I just did what anyone else would have done if they could. In the end, we still lost people.”

@amindhive

“You frighten yourself so effectively, any effort from us seems superfluous. You are what you are, or some other motivational jargon.”

Josh blinked a few times, “Well, thanks for the advice ladies. But you’re right,” he shook his head, “I’ve gone from being scared of everyone else here to begin scared of me. Ironic really.”

She can feel her throat closing, the air struggling to escape. Anna’s trying to stop herself from crying, but she’s struggling, a lot. She can hear anger in her mind; not her own, but the anger that is causing her this pain. She wishes that life had never done this to her, even if that meant that she were to die. Upon hearing Josh’s voice, feeling his touch on her shoulder, she’s shocked; she begins to choke, looking to him with a look of fear in her eyes. I will hurt you. She thinks, before realising her coat is still on. He’s safe, for now. 

Josh doesn’t know what’s wrong. For all his abilities the thoughts of others are still a mystery to him. But she’s clearly upset about something. When she looked to him he could see she was scared, so he gathered his weary powers and forced a little more of his healing energy into her, aiming to calm her somewhat, or at least enough to be able to speak with him. “It’s alright, it’s all alright, I’m here. You’re going to be okay now.” he told her.

“Option 2: ghosts aren’t real and it’s almost impossible to get a moment alone around here.”

“Don’t sass me.” Josh scolded, “I’ll leave you alone once I’m certain you’re not injured. I don’t know if you’ve been out... doing stuff, since last time.”

💤 to fall asleep next to my muse

Josh had been kicked out of the Med-Bay... For the eight day running, he suspected they were as annoyed with kicking him out as he was annoyed at being kicked out. Determined to stay up out of spite he’d ended up in the living area couch with Megan watching some on film he’d never seen before.

“I don’t get is... Is John Wayne the good guy or the bad g-guy?” he yawned as he spoke. The screen had blurred to colours as his eyes drifted shut, in moments his head and lolled to the side and landed on Megan’s shoulder.

“Mmm... comfy.” he murmured, breathing evening out in seconds.

“O-oh... Well I uhh, I mean it’s just a butt, e-eveyone’s got one right? And Uhh... I’ve always hated to put numbers on things...”

He grinned a little, “Thanks though Megs.”

"Is Star Wars the one with the little wizard boy?"

@streakofwhxte

“Uhh... No. That’s Harry Potter. Star Wars is the one with the Jedi’s and the Sith and the lightsabers that go- wooooooo-hooooooooo-wooooooo.” Josh moved his hands a little as he made the noise.

@redandonlyred

“This is as close to mischief as I get and you know, I don’t even feel that bad.” Josh said, a smug grin on his face and he threw the last of the communal fridges junk food into a bin back, “Now the fridge is stocked with only healthy options, see if people will ignore my nutritional advice anymore... Now,” he turned to Alexis, “Where do we get rid of this?”

fastandfurry-ous:

Under any ‘normal’ circumstance Rocket was all for lyin’ about where he was at emotionally, or even physically. Right now it was the latter. People. People were too clingy and he needed a moment to breathe. His friends were okay, sure. But nothing REALLY puts things in perspective like a bunch of hospital beds and the crumbling foundations of a university. When he wanders and sees a familiar face, he shakes his head and crosses his arms as the male is speaking.

“Treatment? There ain’t nothin’ that can cure what I’ve got, kid.” He quips back to the golden boy. “Well, there is somethin’ but apparently, it’s frowned upon to bring Terran Vodka to the Med-Bay and offer it around.” He says it so callously with a raise of his shrugs. “How’re ya holdin’ up?” He was an asshole, sure. There was no denyin’ that, but he was curious to truly see the impact of it all. Especially considerin’ how Josh was one of the few medics in this place. Backwater planet seems like such an understatement in that regard.

Josh smiled sadly, but nodded, “You’re probably right. In the end, I’m not as good a healer as I’d wish.” He’d lost people, and he was powerless to try and help people like Peter who’s minds were... damaged in the course of the attack. If he’d been better then maybe he could have fixed that too, as it was, he wasn’t good enough. Maybe some day he’d be able to help more people, rather than slump against a wall and feel sorry for himself.

“The doctor’s don’t like that no. We don’t tend to use alcohol to numb wounds anymore. Though if you’ve got any one you... I wouldn’t mind a swig.” Something to help him on his way to a dreamless sleep. Josh opened his mouth to answer but found no words came out, truth be told he wasn’t coping, he was barely getting by, “Oh, I’m not.” he said quietly, “I’m not holding up at all. But it’s okay, I’ll just get through the day and then fall into bed and break down there.” he said it rather matter of factly, “It’s easy to sweep it all away when you’re working.” He paused a moment, “Are you sure there’s nothing I can do for you?”

streakofwhxte:

She’s convulsing on this bench, trying to hide the fact that she’s crying, but not doing a good job of it. The sound of her gasping for breaths in between each sob can be heard echoing around the campus; she’s frozen to the spot, effectively. 

Josh was achey, it had been another full day at the Med-Bay but he didn’t want to waste any energy healing his own fatigue. He’d been sent on his way (again) for ‘his own good’ but when he passed a bench and came upon Anna crying, he couldn’t help but stop and go over.

“Hey,” he said quietly, concern on his furrowed brows as he placed a hand on her (luckily clothed) shoulder, it began to glow, searching for injuries as well as trying to soothe her best he could, “Anna, what is it? What’s wrong? Do you need help?”

[healing-elixir]

jxstaguy: 

His initial reaction is sheer bemusement. That was not what he was expecting. He was expecting to get told he’s crazy or reckless or to stop doing what he’s doing. Complete acceptance is…surprising. He wasn’t expecting to get a hug out of this either, but he awkwardly brings his arms up to return it. Which doesn’t hurt. Looks like he’s found himself a miracle worker. 

Josh is probably the best person to have found this out, if he had to choose someone. Matt’s never particularly concerned about injuries anyway, but now he definitely doesn’t need to be. And it is difficult - difficult to do, and difficult to keep quiet. At least now he doesn’t have to keep it totally quiet. It did feel good to talk to someone. He wasn’t kidding when he said it was dangerous, though. “It’s not easy. But it’s necessary. Thank you, Josh. Really, I was expecting a lecture or something.” He lets go of Josh, turns away. “I’ve got a lot of pretty nasty enemies. Just so you know what you’re getting into here.”

Josh didn’t want to make the other uncomfortable, it  was just that his powers, different though they were, struck a chord of similarity with his own, and it felt... nice, knowing someone could understand how powers could make compulsions. Josh wasn’t about to sneak out into the city hospitals and try to save everyone, but anyone he came across who needed help, he couldn’t bring himself to walk away.

Josh let go as Matt did and sighed before answering, “Oh you’re getting one hell of a lecture.” he said sternly, “For goodness sake some of those wounds could have festered or gotten much worse and you'd have been weak or hurt going out again. If you’re injured from now on you come to me straight away and you damn well don’t ever try and leave during treatment until I say so. Understand?” he asked, leaving no room for argument, “As for the rest, if it’s necessary to you, then I will help.” he smiled softly, “Well, a little coward like me shouldn’t dare any attention. Besides, if they don’t know who you are thanks to the ninja get-up, how are they going to find out about me?”

tinyblondespider:

“How is helping your father selfish?” she asks, brows furrowed in confusion. “If helping someone to make yourself feel good is selfish then everyone is guilty of that.” she says calmly, sipping from her cinnamon late and licking some whipped cream off her upper lip. “Literally Josh. Everyone.” she tells him. “Some people can do things out of the kindness of their heart but in the end there is always the reward of the satisfaction of knowing you did something for someone else. Even if you don’t demand payment, there is always one in the end.”

 She waits for him to finish. “As for your powers…what exactly are they? If you don’t mind me asking. I’m just curious, given your….complexion.” she chose her wording carefully, not wanting to upset him again.

@healing-elixir​

He was quiet, taking a small sip of his tea before answering, “Because all I did was act like a negotiator, I made friends to make play-dates so my father could come along, meet their father, or mother, and make more business deals. I didn’t really care about the person I was with, only what they could do for my father.” That hadn’t been fair to them, he’d been nothing but a scam artist. He smiled softly, “I suppose that makes me profoundly selfish then.” he said quietly, “But I don’t mind this selfishness, so long as it lets me help other people in a way that matters.”

At her question he smiled once more, “To be honest, I’m not sure where my skin-colour comes into it.” Perhaps he’d figure it out someday, “But my ability, it’s healing.” he explained, “A sort of, biochemical manipulatory power. I can fix cuts, grazes, broken limbs and the like in minutes, sometimes seconds.”

littlesummertelepath:

“Time.” She repeats this word as if there’s so much time in the world for her to give. As if every fleeting moment is only leading he further away from where she is now, and as the walls close in it becomes dark in her mind and she’s forcing the walls off of her body and–it stops. She’s looking down at his hand on her knee, glowing, and somehow she feels at ease. “You think I’m impressive?” She finds this unbelievable. “I’m just a telepath,” she pauses. “One that hurts people.” She refers to the time in the Medbay, and she thinks he must have heard of the incident. Her lips pull into a smile, sad as it was. Megan leans her body forward, just like she had moments ago but now her lips don’t reach for his but instead her arms are capturing his body. She’s pulling him close and resting her face in the empty place of his neck. “Thanks Josh. You’re too good to me, far too kind.”

“Sure.” he nodded, as though it were that simple, which he supposed in a way, it was. All Megan needed to do was tough it out with the pair and they were bound to come around. Surely fellow mutants would be sympathetic to a plight as strange as this one, or at least, he was trying to be. And his relaxing her body, soothing aches as best he could was one example of that. “A mutation doesn't make us who we are. If can effect us, impact our lives certainly,” like his did him, “But who we are isn’t dependant on it.” He could choose not to heal someone, but now he knew it went against not just his mutation, but his nature. Josh wanted to help people. “Well, you haven’t hurt me. And besides, we all hurt people at times, it’s how we make it up to them and ourselves that matters.” When she lent into him, he smiled. Both hands came up and gently rubbed against her back, still glowing, trying to help, “Hardly either of those things,” he said quietly, “Don’t worry Megs, it’ll all turn out alright.”
