Tandy wakes up safe inside the manor.

This plot has some potentially distressing content

Tandy opened her eyes to a bright light above her, "Am I dead?" She whispered and turned her head slightly to see a bald man sitting beside her. "Professor?" Reaching up to her head to get her bearings. "Am I home?"

"Yes, Tandy, you are home." Charles' voice was gentle and soothing... and relieved. "You're in the medlab. You're fine, you just need to rest and recover."

"Oh good...didn't want it to be another trap." Looking around the room letting her eyes adjust. "Is everyone else okay?"

"Yes, don't worry. Everyone is fine." Charles glanced up at Scott, briefly, as if seeking confirmation.

Scott stepped up next to the bed so Tandy could see him, "We made it out okay, don't worry about us."

"You can worry about me a little. I got shot at. That does things to a man. These white walls - here come the flashbacks... the horror.... the horror...."

~Don't upset the girl, Mr. Kane,~ came the Professor's slightly wry voice in Garrison's mind as the headmaster turned back to Tandy. "How about you, my dear? How do you feel?"

Tandy stared at Garrison, "I am sorry." The teenager shook her head, "I feel...alot better. But still feeling kind of drained." She turned to look at the Professor, "Scared. That she'll come back. She is a demon you know, I never felt anything like that before, the fear that nothing will be okay, seeing it playing it over in my mind, it like became my reality." Looking at the other men, "You want to know more about her, don't you?"

"Only if you feel up to it," Scott replied. "The mansion is a safe place, we have wards set up that will protect you so she can't hurt you while you're here and we have had some experience dealing with the supernatural. But," he smiled sadly, "any information you can give us when you're up for it would help us understand what we're dealing with."

"Or we can order up for ice cream and season one of Teen Wolf for you. That's what the kids watch, right?" Garrison said to a series of blank looks. "Tandy, she's not coming back. It's okay if you don't want to talk now, but trust me, she got her- uh, rear kicked to the back of beyond. No matter what happens, you're safe."

With both men reassuring her that no one could get to her plus a small smile she mustered up for Garrison, "Her name isn't Dana. I think I heard the name D'Spayre, that is what she called herself. I don't think she is the one really in charge...a darkness." Tandy whispered softly and looked at all of them.

"She was possessed by something?" Charles asked gently. Sadly, possessions and demons had become commonplace for them.

Tandy slowly shook her head no as she was thought on it, "I think I heard 'master'..." Closing her eyes and opening them and looked at Garrison, "Can I get vanilla ice cream?"

"I think I can scare some up." Kane exchanged a look with the Professor before he left. He needed to talk to Tandy later, for his report to the FBI and SHIELD, but that could wait. It was more important to make sure she was okay mentally, and that was Xavier's realm. "I'll even add some of that chocolate topping that Doc McRedhead thinks she has so cleverly hidden in the empty flour canister " He said loudly as he left, earning a loud 'HEY!' before the door closing cut off the noise.

Scott shook his head trying to hide a smile, "There goes a brave, brave man," he commented. "You just concentrate on getting yourself together and resting," he told Tandy, "We can talk later," he said as he stood up. The word master worried him, D'Spayre had been bad enough, but if there was someone more powerful out there casting their eye this way then that probably meant more trouble. Scott made a note to talk to Amanda and Wanda soon, the more he knew about dealing with supernatural threats the better it would be.

Charles caught Scott's eye and nodded. They'd be settling down to talk about things in his office after this. "If there is anything you need or want to talk about, just ask," he told Tandy. "We will take care of you."

"Thanks Professor. I think I'll just...rest for now. And wait for my ice cream to return."
