After leaving the Infirmary Deathstar decided to pay Fade a visit to see how she was coming along. Deathstar had a limp due to her calves being slashed, with slow swagger she drove herself in front of Fade's door *Knock! Knock!*, she stood patiently waiting knowing Fade was probably hurt more than her.

Fade still lay passed out when there was a loud knocking noise. With a sudden jolt, she fell through her bed and landed on the floor. Grumbling, she stood back up, phasing through the bed before walking to her door. With her eyes slightly open, she turned her face invisible and phased it through the door before seeing Deathstar. Pulling her face back through the door, she reached for the handle and cursed loudly when she phased right through it.

Finally, after a few more attempts, a few more sighs and a few new curse words, she got the door open. "Hey Star, what's up?" She asked, rubbing her collar bone. The pain from phasing through the bed now seemed to suddenly appear and it felt horrible. Pain caused her to open the door more, prop up some pillows and lay back down on the bed, propped up in an up-right position so it was comfortable and not rude. "How're you holding up?"

Deathstar walked in Fade's room steadily limping as she spoke, "I just came by to see how were u holding up and to apologize" she said as she was helping fade prop up her pillows, "its my fault your in this condition, It was my job to have your back and .......I failed so I apologize" she let out a sigh and looked out Fade's window. "Im glad it's over...for now, but I think we won't be hearing the last of the order" she says as she adjust the casts on her calves.

Fade smiled as Deathstar helped her prop up her pillows but kind of lost her smile when Deathstar apologized. Well, it was an interesting smile-loosing thing, because the smile remained, but it was more friendly and comforting than thankful for propping up pillows. "Don't feel bad, it's hard to keep up with an inivisible crazy chic." Fade shrugged.

"It is over, and I am glad too, but I don't think that this is the end. We had to run from them, they will grow in number and might cause more problems. First battle huh? I remember the Whitmore attacks and the Fusionist crap. Both I was wounded, but I'd say that the Fusionist junk was the most painful. Still, I keep going, some times worse than others." She nodded to the sling around her neck. "But I'm still here and you look like you got banged up some, too, so the only way I'd be upset at you is if you sat there, watching me on TV as you ate donuts and cuddled upto a creep." She laughed, even though it hurt some.

"But I'm still here and you look like you got banged up some, too, so the only way I'd be upset at you is if you sat there, watching me on TV as you ate donuts and cuddled upto a creep." Fade said

"Well I was thinking about it" Deathstar chuckled a little bit trying to cheer herself up, "Lets just relax and watch some television, and take our minds off kp"she says as she limped over to the T.V and turns it on just in time as the news flash flooded the screen about kp and the new mutant registry act. "If it isn't one thing, its another" Deathstar says softly to herself with her arms folded across her chest. She looks back Fade shakes her head as if she is disappointed about the outcome of their mission, "this doesn't sound right" she says in between her teeth.

Fade nodded and allowed Deathstar to turn on the TV before watching with her eyebrow raised. Bunch of bull, that's what it was. "Don't worry, the bill won't pass, it can't, we have a few pro-mutants in the Senate, last I checked. I mean we won't be thrown out to the dogs." The last part was said in a sigh as she was completely drained.

"We will be fine here at the mansion, we all protect eachother." She sighed before leaning back more into her pillows. Feeling completely stressed and drained she allowed her head to fall onto Deathstar's shoulders. "Not only am I in alot of pain, but I have no clue where Raphael is. I really want him to be here." She clenched her teeth as she repositioned her body so that it wasn't so uncomfortable to lean on Deathstar's shoulder, that brought her eyes to a stinging feeling as a tear drop rolled down her cheek and onto Star's shoulder.

((I think Star is sitting next to Fade, but I'm not sure))

"I don't know Fade, they seem pretty serious about this mutant registry act, it will be just a excuse for them to get rid of us" she said as her eyes focused on the t.v. "How many humans do you think are going to stand up for us? nada!" Deathstar leaned back a little as Fade rest her head on her shoulder.

"We will be fine here at the mansion, we all protect eachother." says Fade as she made herself more comfortable. "Yea!, all we have is each other, but its a cause willing to die for" she says in a soft voice. "Its sad but people fear what they don't inderstand" she picks the remote and turns the volume up on the t.v trying to get a better understanding of the new bill thats being passed.

As Fade mentions Raph, she notices emotion evoking out of Fade, "You love him don't you?" she asks while she could feel Fade's tear slowly rolling down her arm, "he'll be back. I don't think he can stay away from you that long, besides you guys are inseperable" Deathstar gives off a soft laugh trying to cheer her up, at the same time gently pulling her fire red hair from her tearful face. "If he doesn't come back, I'll kick his ass" she said as she gave off a hint of smile.

"Not all humans are set against us, just the majority of them. But we're mutants, if they try and take us, we're the ones with the powers and they don't have them, they've got guns, helicopters, knives, camoflauge, which is ridiculous if they try and get into the mansion waving those around. My primary concern is the Order." She spoke, staring at the TV, choking back any more tears.

"Yup, we've all got eachother to protect everyone here. It's hard to take mutants off the street but try and take them from a family, especially the mansion family, is like commiting suicide, they won't take us away." She sighed, feeling a mix in her emotions.

"I dunno if I love him or not. Don't you have to know love to recognize it? I think I love him, but I dunno how it feels, he's been my only boyfriend and he disappeared without a trace. I can't seem to find him anywhere." She kept her head nuzzled in Star's shoulder. A small lagh caused the redhead to bump up and down a little as her lungs inhaled and exhaled quickly. Ouch. Unfortunately, her collar bone made her stop and she followed its orders. "What about you? I've seem a dude around you."

"I can't say I feel the same way about humans Fade, they made it very difficult for me to live my life normally" she responds to fade with a sheer anger on her face. "But!, meeting you and the rest of the X-men, made me open my heart to forgive" she rubs Fades arm desperately attempting to cheer her up. "For what The Order did to you and the others, I'll make sure they'll pay" she looks away as she speaks of her enemies.

"No need to worry about Raph, I'm pretty sure whatever he is doing, he didn't want you to worry or be in harms way" Deathstar takes her handkerchief from her pocket and hands it Fade to wipe away her tears. "You gotta be strong for us, the X-men and for me, please!!" she says with a smile upon her face.

"What about you? I've seen a dude around you." Fade mentions that catches Deathstar off guard, "Well his name is Damien, and you can say he's a pretty nice guy, and I'm going to leave it at that" she blushes and laughs softly trying to shrug off her Fades iinquisitive questions.

"Yeah, can't say that humans have been too kind to me either, but they can't all be bad, then again, it has been a while since I have spoken to a human." She shrugged, feeling slightly better now that she had gotten out that one tear and had curled up with her head on Deathstar's shoulder. Luckily, it did not hurt her collar bone and she preferred to keep it like that.

"I'm sure it's something like that, I just wish that I knew." She sighed, repositioning her neck, nope that hurt too much, she had to abort the mission and stay where she was, even though it was quite comfortable anyways, she didn't want Star to feel uncomfortable or Fade's earring digging into Star or something bizzare yet common like that.

"Damian? I have yet to meet him. Hmm, I will make it a point to hassle him for you." She laughed. At least she was feeling better, wasn't thinking about Raph there for a few moments and it was best that she didn't worry unless he came back covered in blood and victory.

"I'm glad you feel better" she laughed again softy, "It was no way I could let you walk around here with your head down", she smiled with assurance. "I don't mean to ruin the moment but...would you mind cutting my hair?' Deathstar chuckled outloud because of how quick she changed the subject.

"You will meet Damian sooner than you think, his room, I mean our room is right down the hall if you know what I mean" she laughed again trying to erase the pain of kp with laugher.

"Yeah, thanks." She smiled. Then came the question about cutting her hair. What was up with Fade cutting peoples' hair? Raph randomly asked her to cut his once, not like she was complaining, she liked it better with shorter hair rather than long pony-tailed hair. "Ha, Raph had me cut his hair, too. What would you like it to be cut to? Just a trim or like all-out wildness?" She asked.

"Oh, so you guys are sharing a room now? Giggidy-giggidy?" Honestly, Fade had no clue what giggidy giggidy meant but a few people would say it whenever it implies something close, so why not try? Maybe it was the wrong occasion... "That sounds like fun."

With a couple of thoughts, she looked back at Star, "Can you cut my hair too? Maybe it's time to stop with the pony and actually style it." She laughed, thinking along the lines of very short hair.

"No!, were not sharing a room, I got to get to know him a little better, but hey are you gonna cut my hair or what" she says jokingly trying to change the topic. " I want my hair cut shoulder length with a bang, how do you want your hair cut, how about bald, it'll be a new look for you and Raph would have a crisis to come home to a bald wife oops!, I mean girlfriend" she laughs while talking but suddenly stops. "wow!, here we are beaten and battered, and all we could talk about is hair" she leans back on Fade as she laughs again outloud.

Fade laughed along, grabbing her collar bone in pain as she did so. "Yeah, bald might be new, but I don't want to get sunburn on my head. Though I think it will pain me more to see my own hair rather than for him to see mine. Yuck, bald? I can't pull off the Xavier look." She joked, now regretting ever moving her collar bone with a small chuckle, but she fixed it by only laughing with her mouth and not her body.

"Yeah, sure, I'll cut it, I'm a little challenged at the moment, but I'll work around it." Lie. Cutting someone's hair with just one arm? Odd... "Well, if we can't find the ridiculous in life, we wouldn't go very far now would we?"

"Trust me, I do not want to remembr kp, but I must admit something Fade" she took a deep exhale letting thoughts fly freely without hesitation, "When the oppressor held your limp body in the air, I thought you were gone, not only did I feel awful, I felt like I lost a close relative". Deathstar took a deep sigh as she slowly rose from Fade's bed and pulled out a chair preparing to get her haircut. "I will say this, I know I can be a bad-ass sometimes, but you guys are my only family right now and you are all that I have left" she pulls out a pair of scissors out of drawer and slowly closes it while standing still not turning to look Fade. "I will promise next time that won't happen, even if my life depends on it" she shrugs and walks over to Fade handing her the scissors. "I always keep my promises" she gave off a smirk when finish speaking.
