FIFTY ✖ VOICE
[Charles clicks on the audio feed, and it should be pretty apparent to anyone listening that something is wrong, but he's doing his level best not to act like it is. His breathing is a little labored, and he definitely sounds like he's in pain, but his voice is more or less level and controlled, focused on telling people what happened and not passing out or dying before help shows up.
All in all, he sounds way too calm for someone who just got stabbed.]
I found Senji. He's been tortured, probably at least for a few days, by his inmate. He's currently unconscious and in serious need of medical attention. [Which was sort of an understatement, really, not to mention Charles had no idea how they'd even go about treating him, if he was going to be lashing out and trying to cut anyone who came near him with weapons he could apparently create from his own blood, of all things.
Speaking of which.]
... Actually, Merlin, if you're not too busy, I could probably do with some, too. [He almost sounds more sheepish than anything else, although it still hurts and he's definitely maybe a little scared, because he's been hurt, but he's never actually died before.] We're on the second floor, in room twelve. It's sort of a mess. [Really, meaning, there's an awful lot of blood on the walls and everywhere else in the roomand maybe coming out of me nbd. :|
It occurs to him vaguely that this probably isn't something he should be telling just anyone - he has no idea where Toto is, or what the hell he was really planning on doing here - but he's pretty confident he can knock out almost anyone trying to come into the room before Merlin or Erik or someone got here, so instead of bothering to retroactively filter it or do much of anything other than keep pressure on the wound, he just drops the comm back into his lap and waits.]

I'm in my room, I'm fine. What happened? [Who is Dad going to have to kill? :|]
Video
Deadpool happened. It doesn't matter. What happened to you? Why are you in your room and not here?
Video
Are you alright? Why didn't you tell any of us? [Charles Xavier: World Class Hypocrite.]
Re: Video
[Severe frown.] Why didn't you tell anyone what you were up to?
Video
How is it alright for you not to feel like telling anyone you're heading in to do something dangerous, but you're allowed to lecture me for going into something without telling everyone first?
And for the record, I did tell Erik. [... sort of. No details.]
Video
[...Small voice.] If I did I'd have kept my suit on.
Video
Video
I should have waited, I know, but...people were being hurt.
And I mean - I do have the other one but I haven't done anything in it yet and - [She just. Shakes her head.]
It's stupid.
Video
Once you're feeling up for it, I think we'd better start practicing calling for help telepathically. You know Erik, Alex or I would have been there in a heartbeat if we'd known something was wrong.
Video
She cracks a bleak little smile.]
I've just been full of crappy decisions, huh?
[A beat.]
Which, for the record, doesn't take away from your crappy decisions. Because you totally did not tell Erik any details, did you.
Video
But he really doesn't want to snap at her, or anyone, really, so he forces himself to sound calm, and tries to keep the frustration out of his expression.]
Senji was alone, seriously injured and tied down. We'd never spoken before, so his abilities had never come up in conversation, I had no idea he was capable of forming weapons from his own blood, and his mind was too confused from the torture he'd been through to be able to pick that up without really digging around for it, which would have taken time he really didn't have. I knocked him out immediately after he hurt me and contacted Merlin for help. We were on the second floor, so I knew he'd be able to get there in time to help.
I'm sorry I startled you, but I'm fine. I'm a little worn out and I have a not exactly pleasant looking scar, but I'm fine.
Video
I don't - it's not that I think you're weak, or that you can't do things on your own. I just...
You mean a lot to me. To all of us. And when you're in danger so are we.
So - I'm just saying, it would have been good to have backup, just in case. Because you never know what you might run into, here.
And yeah, I should have too.
Video
Does anyone else know what happened? [Which really means is he breaking the news to Dad or are you?]
Video
[She doesn't want him to kill Deadpool, okay.]
Video
He's still going to be worried.
