Sit Down And Cool Off

Built with a generous grant from one of the University's benefactors, this clinic serves as a small teaching hospital as well. More severe injuries are stabilized, then transported to Muir Island. It also houses the University's research laboratories.

In the distance, towards the front entrance, a loud commotion could be heard, mostly with the "you can't come in here with those!" variety.

It was not every day that a flock of ravens infested the entrance way of a medical facility--it's unsanitary, to say the least, but that's what Will was leading.

"MELPOMENE!" he shouted, striding forwards and looking around.

"It's not a joke. Sam's head was getting unstable and rather than have it escalate and turn her into a shifting pile of bodies Miriam gave her a stable focus. It just... worked a little too well." she says, backing away a little and eyeing the ravens wearily.

Will looked back between them.

"A little too well," he sneered, taking a step forward. "Which one of you is Sam."

WIll blinked.

Will swore, and punched the nearby wall. "God damn it, Miriam. You finally did it..." he swore, leaning up against the wall.

"You finally beat Sam. You turned her into another...another version of you, you narcissistic, self-centered, vainglorious..." Will trailed off.

Turning, he headed for the exit of the medical center.

"That's. Not. ME!" she spits out alongside a mental spike aimed at Will. It's lacking in finesse or even any particular goal, just raw frustration lashing out.

Miriam looks pained for a moment. She didn't want to hurt Will, but she also doesn't want to admit she was wrong. Because she wasn't. This is all just Will's fault. Will and his bloody memories of a different person. "I just... it... just happened." she stammers, slowly backing away from Will and the other Miriam. This was getting worse by the second.

From his position on the ground, surrounded by ravens, Will gave a look of hurt, anger and...despair, probably would be the best way to describe it.

Then, where there had been an X-Team member, there was just another raven, and it took off towards the exit as fast as it could fly.

"You just proved him right about us."

She blinks in confusion.

"Us? No..."

She starts walking towards the remaining ravens.

"I don't want to be you anymore."

"I can't say I blame you for that..." she mumbles to herself, realizing that she could no longer delude herself into thinking she could walk away from this and somehow turn out to have been the one that was Sam. On some level she'd known the whole time.

She puts her arms out, and the ravens fly towards her. Her skin ripples as they collide with it, disappearing into her. Ginger locks appear one by one as her frame and face shift back towards what they should be.

To Miriam, it feels like nothing so much as being shrugged off of Sam's mind like a coat she no longer wants to wear.

"...I'm not going to apologize to them for you."

"Apologize? Are you --You're serious. Apologize." she says, going from kind of flabbergasted to angry over the course of the sentence.

"What does it matter. He's made up his mind about me." This was exactly what she'd suspected would happen. She'd talked herself into helping anyway in the hope that it'd help a little but since when had trying to do the right thing ever worked out for her. It simply wasn't worth the effort to try anymore.
