Chapter 7: David's Coma

<David> female voice

<...>

<David, Focus> female voice

<...>

David feels an intense sensation in his head, not quite pain but definitely
not a pleasant feeling. He can barely open his eyes now and sees in a haze,
not recognizing that he is now in Medical. Although he is able to hear the
conversation between the two people near him, he is unable to decipher the
conversation. Before he passes back into unconsciousness he thinks that he
is in some sort of liquid chamber.

"Dr. McCoy this is not working. Some how unconsciously David is fighting my
mental suggestions," states Jean, shaking her head in disbelief.  "I could
try stronger suggestions or even commands but I can not guaranty that his
mind will not be scarred by the process."

"Well that will just not do. We must find a way to engage his mind and get
him to awaken, but without damaging it in anyway," Hank sighs.  "And Jean
can you stop calling me Dr. McCoy?"

"Fine but that doesn't make you any younger," teases Jean.  "But how did
this happen in the first place? The Danger Room is not supposed to cause
this right?"

<Sorry to interrupt Jean. How is David doing?> asks Professor X concerned.

<Well as far as we can tell he is completely fine. There are no signs of
any type of trauma physical or mental. There is no reason for him to be
unresponsive and no Jean the Danger Room does not cause this type of
side-effect> states Hank shaking his head in confusion.

Without thinking Jean mental connects the other two people that are across
the room, to the conversation.

<And yet it has> states a female voice confidently.

<That has not been proven as of yet> response her male companion without
missing a beat.

<Sorry Charles, let me introduce Reed Richards and Susan Storm. Hank put
the think tank on hold, but these two were already on their way. Reed,
Susan, the person that you are talking to is Charles Xavier> says Jean.

<Jean please do not call me Charles> Professor X says directly to Jean
without broadcasting it to the others.

<Fascinating. I have never thought that I would have a chance to ever
communicate telepathically> says Reed in awe.

<It is good to meet you Professor. But as I was saying, it is obvious that
the Danger Room in someway caused this to happen> states Susan with
conviction.

<The Danger Room has safeguards in place that would prevent this from
happening. I designed them myself and ran a diagnostic
yesterday. Everything is running at 100%. I do not think that the Danger
Room caused this> states Hank louder than he intended, not wanting his
creation to be the cause.

<Hank I do not believe that Susan is saying that the Danger Room directly
or you indirectly caused this to happen> says the Professor
sympathetically.

<Actually in a way that is exactly what I am saying. Hank indirectly caused
this because he made the Danger Room, correct? The Danger Room directly
caused this because if David did not go in there he would not be in a
recuperation chamber right now, correct?> responds Sue growing impatient at
the slow pace.

<Sue. We have not run enough tests to come to any conclusions at the
moment. Further we should not rule out other possibilities without
completing more tests> says Reed trying to reason with Sue.

<Look! We have a boy in some sort of coma. Sitting around and waiting until
we have the scientific evidence to form a scientific conclusion from a
scientific analysis just to say that yeah this boy is a coma is not
acceptable. We don't need the scientific method here boys, simple common
sense is good enough> retorts Sue becoming upset.

<Well Sue the Scientific Method is a tried and tested method advancing
sound, logical judgments. We do not want to do damage in the course of
trying to help David, he is not a test subject> retaliates Hank.

<Maybe you all could use a breather, maybe come to my office and sit down
to a cup of tea> the Professor says calmly trying to ease the escalating
tension.

<I think that would be a nice change of scenery, and I could do for a sit>
says Jean quickly agreeing with the Professor.

<Sue that could be a good idea. It'll give everyone a chance to gather
their thoughts and make a case for what they think the next steps ought to
be> calmly explains Reed.

<We don't have time for that. I'm sorry to be pushing this hard, but here
is what we know about the situation. There is no doubt about this point;
that we all agree on. David is in a coma and the longer he is in it the
harder that it will be for us to get him out. But more importantly his mind
is degenerating and we do not know if it can be reversed. I know he is not
a test subject, which is why time is of the essence. We have to risk damage
to stop total collapse. What good is it if we bring him back perfectly but
we took so long to do it that he is at 60, 50 or even at 30%. The mind can
recover but only to a certain point, lets not let it get to that point>
says Sue trying to stay calm.

No one speaks, because everyone knows that what Sue is saying is the bare
truth of the situation. But each knows that although time is against them,
a mistake could be even more costly.

<Jean please allow me to do a scan of your mind. I assume that you have
been trying to wake David telepathically. Maybe I will be able to learn
something from your scans and probes>

<I can do better than that Professor; I can actually implant my memory into
your mind>

<Professor are you planning on trying to wake David> asks Hank

<Thank you Jean. You are becoming stronger and more versatile in your
powers. Yes Hank I plan on seeing if I can learn of anything that maybe of
some help to the debate at hand. Please know one try to communicate with me
for now>

Professor X begins to peel apart David's mind like an onion, one thin layer
at a time. Learning from Jean that David's mind still has defenses and that
they are stronger than when she first scanned him, the Professor does not
want to alert it to his presence. It is a slow process but he has already
gone further than Jean was capable of. Every time David's mind begins to
become aware of the intrusion, he stops and goes to a different area.  <Ah
sexuality is not guarded. Normally I would not go there, but I have to go
further, since I have not learned of the cause just yet it can not be
helped. Though I would like to try other areas, they are alert to my
presence at the level>

The Professor starts a scan of David's sexuality <It actually isn't that
deep, well he is young still. It's just deep enough to get me to another
level, then I will venture to guess that he is virtually
inexperienced. Good then I do not have to worry about prying open any
secrets other than teenage masturbation habits. I can just tell him that I
know he masturbates like every other teenager. I doubt he will actually ask
me how much I know about the habits, which will be everything> Confident
that he is not invading David's privacy more than walking in on someone
masturbating he starts a probe or David's sexuality. <This area is closed
off, but it leads to the next level. Normally it would mean intercourse,
but it is so shallow that nothing close to that could have happened>

The Professor hesitates for a moment. Pondering if he should perhaps see if
he can go a different way, the area is closed off after all.  <No, I have
to go this way. There is not much to the area, probably just some
masturbation fetish that he is embarrassed or ashamed about. Again I'm not
going to tell him anything about this and he's not going to ask about the
details of it. And I will put it in the further reaches of my mind so even
strong telepaths would not find it without knowing to look for it>

The Professor removes the blockage so that he can continue his
probe. <David's gay! I mean homosexual. ... Damn it!> In the shock of the
moment the Professor forgot himself and allowed himself to be detected by
David's mental defense. <Damn it. I can't get them to shut down this far
in.  I hadn't realized just how deep I had gone, just how much depth does
David's mind have> But he has no time to think on that at the moment as
David's mind engages the intruder. <I'll have to fight my way out without
hurting David> The Professor starts his quick retreat out of David's mind,
attempting to leave the defense behind. <David is enthusiastic about
expelling me. What he lacks in ability he makes up for in desire. ... Wait
he's not trying to expel me, he's trying to detain me> The Professor
wonders why as he continues to dodge the defenses on his way out. <Its as
if David's mind is desperate its throwing everything it has at me. It must
realize that it can't stop me, so this is just a waste of energy. It should
be just blocking of the levels so I can't return as I leave them, yet there
is no attempt to do that. Why try to keep a strong invader instead of just
pushing him out? My God ... He is not out. He doesn't want people to know
that he is homosexual. I'm sorry David but I can not stay but I will not
tell anyone either> As the Professor leaves David's mind behind.

<Charles, sorry Professor what happened? > Asks Jean in shock, upon feeling
that Professor X has left David's mind.

<What on earth do you mean Jean?> wonders Professor X.  <I will have to go
back in later, but there is no cause for alarm>

<No that is not what I meant> states Jean trying to gather her thoughts.

<Everyone I may be the strongest telepath on the planet but the mind is a
very complex entity> explains the Professor solemnly.  <In going into
David's mind I did not mean to give the impression that that would be
it. But I have learned a lot from the intrusion>

<Intrusion would be the right word for it> states Sue flatly.

<Sue, please. Professor Xavier, I do not believe that you have a grasp of
the current situation> Reed says realizing that the Professor was out of
contact with them but not the other way around.

<What do you mean the current situation Reed?> asks Professor X confused at
the emotions that he is receiving from the people in the room.

<Well that explains it> exclaims Hank, after figuring out Reeds line of
thought. <Professor what young Mister Reed is hinting at is you sent out a
series of thought projections without realizing it while in David's mind>

<Hank, I do not believe that I sent out any thought projections> explains
professor X. <I would have to consciously do that and I have not done such
a thing. It is against what I believe in and what I teach other
telepaths. To do so freely would cause irreversible damage to not only
Human and Mutant relations, but also Telepathic relations to Non-Telepaths>

<Professor as you teach, "under emotional stress powers have a way of doing
that which we do not want ..."> quotes Jean.

<"... that is why one must strive for mastery of our powers> quotes
Professor X finishing his own quote. Sighing with the realization that he
has not mastered his powerfully, he accepts that something got
through. <What was the series of thought projections?>

<Well. David's gay, damn it!> responds Hank trying not to say it as
emotionally as he heard it.

<... I see> is the Professor's short answer.

<Professor> Jean ventures to say softly, not sure if he broke off
communication.

<... I am here. ... I am sorry but I needed a moment to gather my thoughts>
explains Professor X. <I know that, David's gay damn it, sounds awful. And
it is, just that, awful>

<What! You are supposed to be enlightened, a preacher of tolerance and
acceptance. How can you say such a thing, Professor Xavier?> asks Reed
extremely saddened that someone that he admired could be a hypocrite.

<You are right Reed, how could I say such a thing?> continues Professor
X. <I will not say that I did say those words, because I did. And like I
said it is awful, if taken in that context. But that is not the case. I did
not mean them in that contest. What I actually said was, "David's gay! I
mean homosexual. ... Damn it!">

<How is that any better Professor? Gay, homosexual it doesn't matter, you
still are upset that David likes guys> says Sue almost spitting out the
words.

<I understand your emotional state, but please allow me to finish Sue. I am
not upset that David is homosexual. In truth I do not care whom he is
attracted to physically> states Professor X slowly and deliberately. <I was
shocked that he was homosexual and that is why I had to leave his mind. The
shock of the discovery when I was trying to avoid personal private thoughts
caught me off guard and alerted his mind to my presence when I was close to
the core of his mind. Please understand I care deeply for all of my
students and want the best for all of them. Being so close to helping him
and then having it taken away because of my mistake upset me>

<God that's good to know> states a new voice.
