Backdated to early Saturday in the wee hours of the morning. Set after these logs. Proteus Aftermath. In the wee hours of the morning, after all is said and done, Alison and Nathan lean on a wall and talk quietly outside Miles' room as he sleeps.

( There was a reassuring solidity to the wall behind her back, the stone floor she was sitting on. It was cold and unyielding; the natural dampness of a castle in Scotland making the various aches and stiffness in her body worse, but right now it was one of the best places to be. )

After this conversation with Alison, Nathan goes back to Moira's side and allows her to wake up. He reassures her that everyone's all right - although he has to break it to her that Rory has vanished - and they talk a little about Essex's involvement. Then Moira starts to connect the dots and realize some of the implications for what happened years ago with Kevin.

( Maybe... I did all I could. )

Alison finds Shiro on the beach, still fuming after speaking with Cable, and plays the good cop to Nate's bad cop. It's all still lost on Shiro, who asserts that he did the right thing.

( What's that saying again? Ah yes. 'Mental bearing, not skill, is the sign of a matured samurai. A Samurai therefore should neither be pompous nor arrogant.' Tsukahara Bokuden, if I remember right. )

Hours after Proteus, Nathan finds Haroun out in the rain. They talk about feeling useless, and skill versus common sense. Then Nathan punches a hole in the castle. (Yes, literally.) He expresses a desire to see the person responsible for Proteus messily dead. Haroun sympathizes, and then flies off to think.

( Is this some form of penance? To see if you can freeze yourself to death out here? )

Later, Nathan finds Shiro in the kitchen and does his not-inconsiderable best to tear the young man's head off for ignoring orders out in the thick of the fight. Sunfire is not impressed. Then again, neither is Cable (who is, unfortunately for Shiro, the one driving at this point).

( You are seventeen years, think very highly of yourself, and have had just enough training and experience to be dangerous, to yourself and the people around you. )

Kitty takes a stab at attempting to reach the X-Men, battling not only whatever Proteus is doing to the radio frequencies but a brewing storm.

Considering how long this is and the fact that it naturally falls into sections, the Proteus plot is going to be broken up. Thanks for everyone that did a log, that helped me bang it together, for being patient with delays and my first time handling anything this big. You guys kept me sane. Literally. There are some logs that will be coming later, including the very end fight.

( It's my party... )
