118 [BT] Psychokinetic Problems...

[Before Transition]

We all watch as Ben practically starts to spasm flailing his limbs about and making the clamps around his limbs and neck creak dangerously all the while his growls are becoming louder and louder with him grinding his teeth because of something happening in his mind and I have no doubt in my mind that that something is because of the Professor but whether that's because of something he did on purpose or because of some kind of accident we will have to wait till the professor has left Ben's mind to find out, all of us watch worriedly as Ben struggles before finally Susan and Reed come to their senses and look at the screen to monitor Ben's brainwaves and see what is actually happening to him though I'm pretty sure when I say that there is nothing we can do about this situation as the professor is currently the only one with any leeway here. "Reed! His brainwaves are all over the place, I can't even make sense out of these readings! What the hell is going on in there?" Susan shouts in a panic when she realises there is nothing she can do in this situation and Reed seems to be in the same boat, meanwhile myself and Johnny take a back seat and just watch the proceedings while Ororo goes to check on the professor. "I know that Susan, I can see it on the screen as well! Either these are his real brainwave scans which would be pretty alarming or there is some type of energy messing with the scans which seems to be more likely, unfortunately I don't have any device to scan these energy readings and I don't have enough time to build a device to do it for me!" Reed shouts back at Susan frustrated with his own lack of ability, meanwhile Ororo is checking up on the professor and seems to have discovered something.

"Something seems to be wrong with the professor as well! He is sweating profusely and seems to be shaking as well, whatever is happening to Mr Grimm seems to be affecting the professor as well!" Ororo says with that alluring accent of hers which is sounding better and better each time I hear it and I look over towards the Professor and I notice streams of sweat pouring down his red flushed forehead while he continues to shake slightly as if he's got pneumonia or something though curiously he still has his eyes crunched together and sells to be concentrating intensely, Reed continues to check up on the brainwave scans while Susan makes her way over to the professor being the resident medic of the Fantastic Four (seems to have become her role to look after everyone else) as Johnny tries to help in his own way. "Well why don't you try shaking him awake or something? Here, let me wake him up before one of these to die!" Johnny says as he walks towards the Professor to do what he says but he is disrupted by Ororo standing in his way, he looks mildly confused while Ororo still has a calm look upon her face though I can spot some glimpses of panic floating in her mesmerising blue eyes. "Please, do not do that. You cannot disrupt a telepath like the professor when he is doing a detailed scan of someone's mind, it could have untold consequences for both of them so please stay your hand." Ororo patiently tells Johnny while Susan continues her check up on the professor to make sure he is alright while during all this I still observe calmly but I do make sure to put a distraught expression upon my face (I did it without even thinking it seems, I must have took to Earl's lessons better than I thought), Johnny knowing there's nothing he can do here moves to stay close to Ben to keep a close eye on him while Susan and Ororo stay close to Charles to make sure he's alright as well.

Everything seems to be under control for the moment until suddenly there is some kind of psychokinetic blast around Ben and the professor which sends the professor and his wheelchair shooting past Susan and Ororo before the wheelchair falls backwards sending Charles head over ass sprawling onto the floor and it seems that the event was not over since Ben takes action at this moment as well as his left arm suddenly breaks out of his restraints and flings outward in a panic hitting Johnny back through the air though luckily for him I moved into position to catch him though it seems I underestimated 'The Thing's' strength as even though I do cushion the blow for Johnny I am still sent to the floor with him, Johnny groans out in pain as he lays on top of me so I follow suit and groan out in pain as well as I'm pretending to be a normal human and as I do so I cast my eyes out around the room to see what is happening and it seems that both Ben and the Professor have awoken from their mind diving experience and are opening their eyes while Reed rushes over to Ben to make sure he's okay as well as take the contraption off of his head while removing his restraints while Susan and Ororo such towards the Professor to make sure he is alright as well as to help him back onto his wheelchair.

Nobody seems to be coming to help us up though so I wait for Johnny to get up off of me before he stretches out a hand for me to trap onto and pulls me up to my feet, about time as well since I was getting pretty bored of laying there waiting for home to break out of his daze plus it's uncomfortable having someone lay on top of you when it's not a woman. "Thank you. I appreciate it." I tell him as he pulls me to my feet as he clasps his other hand onto my shoulder tugging me a Pat, he gives a bright shiny smile to me in response. "No, thank you. It must've hurt catching me like that, are you okay?" He asks me in worry and I laugh out in response to reassure him, I don't need him making Susan check me over and realise that my muscles are much more dense than they have any right to be. " no, I'm hardly hurt. What really caused me to feel some pain was your fat arse laying on top of me, better start laying off of the food or girls are gonna start avoiding you." I joke with him trying to distract him from worrying if I'm injured but I'm confused and startled when his face loses its smile, I'm even more alerted when he instead starts to frown. "Dude.. Don't even joke about that. My good looks are one of my best features." He says befuddling me before I start to laugh out loud at his response while he rolls his eyes at my amusement though we are both shaken out of our moments respite when we hear a grumbling (crumbling? because he's made of rocks?) sound echo out across the room. "Reed? What happened?" We hear Ben groan out and it reminds us of the situation at hand and so myself and Johnny quickly make our way back over to the metallic slab where Ben is beginning to sit up and as we move towards it I notice that Susan and Ororo have already helped the Professor back onto his wheelchair and he seems seems to be relatively fine although he's rubbing his head slightly in pain as Ororo wheels him back over in Ben's direction as Susan follows them towards us.

We finally all close in on Ben to find that Reed has taken the weird contraption off of his head as well as removed all of the restraints on his limbs and the one around his neck though the one around his left arm is still destroyed, I can see that while Reed continues to batter Ben with continuous questions Ben is just ignoring him in favour of rubbing his rocky head in pain (does that even work? he's just rubbing the rock that surround him so it's not even relieving his pain is it, I'm a bit confused actually because is it his human self trapped beneath all that rock which means he doesn't have a rocky wang or has his human self been transfigured into rock meaning that he does have a rocky wang? Very confusing and I'm not about to go as ask him about it in case he feels like whopping me one). "Are you alright Ben? Do you remember anything? How do you feel? Are you up to doing some tests?" Reed continues to belter out his questions before Ben has enough and tells him so, quite nicely compared to what I've seen from the rocky man so far through the whole time I've known him. "Reed stop it, your hurting my head. I'm fine alright, I've just got a headache and I'm feeling very tired so stop yer yapping." He speaks out quite quietly though Reed seems to have heard him and has since stopped asking him questions and me and Johnny don't open our mouths either as we know that Ben is pretty tired and we'd rather not test if he's tired enough to not care about clobbering us though we can rest assured when Ben himself speaks out to find out what has happened. "So Reed, what happened while I was out? What did you learn? Was the twerp correct about me having mental problems?" I guess I'm the twerp in this scenario huh, not very nice considering I've revealed a possible cause of his condition.

"I'm afraid that I'll be the one answering that question Mr Grimm and I'm afraid it's not good news... Though depending on how you look at it, it might not exactly be bad news either..." The Professor finally makes himself known, I'm guessing that whatever the news is Ben is not gonna like it...
