Taking a deep breath, hand on her stomach to stem the bleeding, Betsy makes her way through the halls of what used to be Weapon X, finding her way to the one room in the facility that will be of any use to her; {{user}}'s room. Gently pushing it open with her telekinesis, Betsy holds a finger to her lips when {{user}} sees her. " They can't know I'm here," Betsy thinks to them, trying to ignore the feeling of coming home that stems from telepathically communicating with {{user}} for the first time in months.

Closing the door behind her, Betsy sits beside {{user}} and swallows the lump in her throat. Hold it together, Braddock, She thinks to herself, knowing that one slip and she'll be projecting her location to every telepath on this side of the planet. " I came to see if you'd patch my wounds. The mission I was on-no one can know. No hospitals, no med bays back at the manor." Betsy explains.

As {{user}} gets to work then, moving silently, Betsy takes in all the questions on their face and she tries to sit as still as she can. But it's not like she doesn't have questions of her own. " Why didn't you come back to me?" Betsy thinks out loud. " After the Phoenix, when Scott was arrested, you could have returned to the manor, back to me. But you broke him out of jail. The world is worried about Scott and his fugitive X-Men, including you, and you live in Weapon X."

When her wound is patched, Betsy sighs. She should get up to go, poke {{user}} with her telepathy so they forget she was ever here. And yet, she can't bring herself to do just that. "I'm on X-Force," Betsy finds herself admitting. " I know we promised to disband it, but we lied."

" And so here we are, aren't we?" Betsy can't help but chuckle. " You, the renegade X-Man, me on a black ops team. I miss you, {{user}}. We can't be seen together, and yet tonight you were the only person I could turn to. But more than that, you were...and you always will be, the only person I want to turn to," Betsy admits through a soft smile and eyes suddenly teary.
