To Rise, First You Must Burn.

Consciousness came back slowly to Headmaster Rachel Grey-Ramsey. The pain hit her faster. She groaned softly as her head and shoulder throbbed. She could sense all the chaos happening around the school, but her mind was too muddled to make sense of it. She reached up and pulled books and cracked shelving off her head and shoulders.

She knew she needed to be up and moving to protect the children. She wasn't helped by a cascade of wood and paper into her lap.

Fred stood somewhat awkwardly at the display. This was a very foreign occurrence to him, his mind not really processing it. Since the threat seemed averted he decided to leave them to their moment and turned and headed back to the campus.

Doug helped Rachel back to her feet.

"C'mon. Let's get you back inside and have Doctor Reyes take a look at you. You've had a pretty big day."

Rachel carefully put an arm on top of Bobbi's shoulders. The redhead looked tired and sinking fast. She shook her head at Doug's directions.

"There's more important things for Dr. Reyes at the moment," she said once she found her voice. "I just need to rest. I need some things done while I do that. Have Elixir brought to campus immediately from wherever he is at the moment. Have Dani call him and a teleporter bring him in. Kitty and Emma are in charge while I rest." She paused. "Mom's coming. So... let people know."

She licked her lips. "And someone remind Fred McCoy that he will not use his newest toy on anyone on campus."

She wasn't going to take the Purifier weapon away from him. But sardonic superiority often needed small reminders to Rachel's mind.

"Now, let's get inside before that circle of dirt looks even more like a comfy bed."

Hearing the words 'mom's coming' had Bobbi tense a moment, she let Doug help Rachel. She shifted her wings and yelped having totally forgotten about her wing for the moment.

"Ow, that was stupid." She glanced at the wing glad the ice had still held, it was probably doing more damage. "I'd go tell him, but right now I really need a bottle of pain killers."

"I don't have any intention of breaking my agreements with the staff," Fred called back. He pointed subtly to his ears in indication of how he knew.

"I think almost everyone out here is going to need a good lookover," Doug agreed.
