Room 515 - Wednesday Morning

[flamesburned]

Liz knew that she couldn't put off a phone to Professor Broom any longer so she finally picked up the phone and dialed Professor Broom's number.

"Hello? Professor Broom speaking," Liz only just managed to stop herself from hanging up the phone. Instead she took a deep breath and replied.

"Professor, it's me, Liz," she said quietly.

"Liz," the Professor said warmly, "how are you?"

"I haven't been that great," she said softly.

Instantly Professor Broom's voice became more worried, "what happened Liz, what's wrong?"

"I had another burst," she said in a voice that was barely more than a whisper. "A couple of weeks ago,"

"Oh," Professor Broom said, his voice becoming more concerned "how did that happen?"

"I went to a help a friend of mine, there was a fight...my arm got broken, as soon as that happened I lost control...again,"

"I'm sorry Liz," Professor Broom said gently.

"It's not your fault," tears started welling up in Liz's eyes despite how hard she tried to stop them, "I thought I had it under control, I've been trying to control my powers so they don't get out of control again...I just didn't expect to lose control so soon,"

There was a long pause at the other end of the phone before Professor Broom spoke again.

"Would it be possible for you to come home this weekend?" Professor Broom asked, "do you have any plans made?"

"No," Liz shook her head even though Professor Broom wouldn't be able to see it, "there's a dance on Friday but I wasn't planning on going, I'm not really up to being social,"

"Understandable, when is your last class for the week?"

"Tomorrow morning," Liz said softly.

"I'll arrange for you to be picked up Tomorrow afternoon," Professor Broom said gently, "we can work through some of the problems that you've been having then,"

"Thank you Professor,"

"You're welcome Liz, I'll see you tomorrow afternoon,"

"Bye Professor,"

"Bye Liz,"

When the phone call ended Liz sighed as she sat down on her bed, she just hoped that she would one day be able to control her powers.

Billy had avoided coming here while he was in the wheelchair. Okay he'd hidden in his room that whole time. But now he was out, and now he needed to talk to Liz. So here he was, knocking at her door.

Liz glanced up at the knocking on her door, "come in," she said softly.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy opened the door, and came in, then stood there a little awkwardly. "Hey Liz."

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

"Hi Billy," she said softly.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Uhm, I just wanted to say, first of all, thank you for coming. And, secondly, that I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought you into that situation. I'm sorry."

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

"It's not your fault," Liz said quietly, "I agreed to go,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"No, it is my fault." he insisted. At this point, all he knew was that her arm had been broken. Not about the fire. "I never even asked if you had any combat training or anything. I never should have asked you. I'm, I'm glad you're okay though. Are you? Okay?"

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

"I could be better," Liz admitted softly.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Damn. "Well, I'm sorry again. Anything I can do to help?"

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

"I don't think there is," Liz said quietly, "I'm not sure if anyone can really help me,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I go to a good therapist." Billy suggested.

"I'm not sure if it will stop me from having another fire burst though," she said quietly.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Fire burst...oh. Oh. So that's how the Thunder Machine blew up. God Liz, I'm so sorry. And I know I'm saying that a lot. I should never have put you in that position though."

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

"You couldn't have known it was going to happen. I didn't think it would happen again...I've been trying to get it under control, I thought I had..."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Have you ever met Charlie? Blond girl, also a pyrokinetic."

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

Liz shook her head, "I haven't met her personally the mun can't remember if they actually met or not, I've heard of her though,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I hear she was learning to control it. I don't know if she's still around though."

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

"I haven't seen her lately, even though I haven't exactly been that social so that could be why,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"If I see her, maybe I could ask her to give you a call."

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

Liz nodded, "that would be good," she said quietly.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Liz, if you ever need anything from me...if it's in my power, I'll do it."

[pyroliz.livejournal.com]

Liz nodded, "thank you," she said softly.
