Natalie, surround yourself in a magnetic feild, now... you have to keep oxygen around you. Nikolai thought as he rushed off. He went to the nearby bathroom and grabbed a rag out of the closet and put the warm water on full blast. Once it heated up, he drenched the rag and didn't bother ringing it out. He ran it back to the room and placed it upon his forehead, allowing the warm water to drip down his face.

Natalie had formed a comfortable magnetic field, allowing herself to make sure she wouldn't lose air. "Riley, I want you to relax." She held Riley close to her, cuddling him. She began to rock him gently. "It's ok hun." She gently rubbed Riley's head, tousling his hair. "When ever you're ready, you can tell me about your nightmare."

Because things were only starting to get worse, Riley used to most effective way he knew to calm himself down; he concentrated on the little power he was able to control, and used it to block his own airways, knocking him out. Whatever was in the air immediately dropped as Riley's heart beat and breaths steadied considerably. He wouldn't be out for to long, but wouldn't awake instantly either.

Natalie's eyes went wide in shock as Riley fell unconscious. She lied him down on the floor, wiping his curly hair out of his face. "Riley!?" He was breathing fine and his heart beat was normal. She wiped off his face with the rag, trying to clean the dirt that remained. "Nikolai, this seems to be self-inflicted. Has he done this in front of you before?"

"Never before..." he said. "I've never seen anything like this before." He sat down gingerly on the bed. "I would give anything to be a telepath right now..."

After a few minutes, Riley's eyes slowly began to flutter open. "Uhn..." he moaned slightly. His headache had nearly disappeared, but he still felt the trace of it in the back of his head. "S-sorry..." he mumbled.

Nikolai hugged Riley. "Please never cut off your own oxygen again..." he whispered.

Riley was still slowly coming to, but slowly wrapped his arms around Nikolai too. "I'm sorry," he repeated in his small voice, "I just didn't know what else to do... I was afraid I was going to hurt you or Natalie..." He really didn't calculate himself into that, as he wasn't at all concerned with his own well-being when his friends were there.

"Don't worry... it'd take quite a bit to actually hurt us. We're Class 4 Mutants." Nikolai said. "You're just a kid. Let us worry about you."

"Why?" Riley's voice seemed to become somehow stronger in his seriousness. "Admit it, you didn't know what you were doing." He said, pulling away just enough to look into Nik's eyes. "Just because I'm a 'kid' doesn't mean I haven't hurt people I love in the past because I wasn't strong enough to even control my own powers..."

"You can't blame yourself for that." Nikolai said softly. "That's why we brought you here." Nik said. "Natalie and I could have made a forcefield to keep oxygen in for as long as it took to calm you down. We love you... we'll help you... and we'll keep you safe."
