Kari awoke the next day and immediately to her surprise had to rush into the bathroom of the bedroom she was in. She hadn't been truly ill since she was twelve years old. She could thank the healing factor for that. But now she'd been given an inhibitor. "I suppose this is to be expected." She said to herself as she let the disgruntled stomach juices evacuate through her throat. After a few bodily eruptions she felt somewhat alleviated and went back to the bed.
She felt like a train wreck. Though of course having lived the greater part of her life without being ill her threshold for handling it was greatly diminished. Kari was running a bit of a fever and sweating. That and true to Dr. Essex's word, she was feeling bloated. Though not from gasses or anything like that. Her healing factor had indeed been preventing her skin from stretching.
Dr. Essex knocked on the door before quietly opening it, and coming through. "How are you feeling?" Nathaniel asked taking a moist cool rag out of a bowl and placing it across Kari's head.
"I'm sick." Was all she really felt like saying, but that sadly said it all.
"A side effect I expected. By the way I've made some headway with your powers. I should have a solution for you sometime tomorrow. As well, I should say that when you're in the care of the X-Men you'll have to dose yourself with these. Only once a week, but none the less without fail. I doubt you could trust the others to allow you this but you must go through with it. Hide them if you must, but you have to keep your healing in check."
"Okay." Kari said closing her eyes as a stream of confused tears of exhaustion, and desperation. Rolled down her cheeks. "He should be here..." She mumbled. It was obviously a mood swing, the conflicting moods of the mother and unborn conflicting. "No, he made his choice. I'll never be good enough-"
"Shhhh..." Sinister said gently rubbing his hand across Kari's head as he used his telepathy to calm her troubled mind into a dream-state.
The following morning Kari woke to the tearing sensation that Phoenix was loose, running around in her subconscious. Dr. Essex was there with her helping to keep Kari in control of her own mind. "She's trying to take over."
"Hush, my dear. I will take you to the mansion now, and you will be able to release the two of them." Once again Sinister used his powers to throw Kari into a hypnotic sleep. Then loaded her into a limousine and headed for the mansion.
