[Bobby's had a few scattering nightmares at the Keep, but none since he and Raven started rooming together. He'd try not to read too much into that, but, well, no, he kind of likes reading things into that. If nothing else, even if it's a little ridiculous, he feels better knowing that Raven's there, just in case.

Tonight, his dream's not exactly a nightmare, but it's definitely a little unsettling. He's back in the mansion, which is always a plus, and it doesn't feel like he's ever left. And Rogue's in his room, sitting on his bed like she never left, either, and he - doesn't know what to think. Because she did leave, and now she's just back, like nothing's changed, like she hadn't left them when they needed her, like she hadn't left him without a word of good-bye.

When she takes his hand, her skin warm against his, the only thing he can think to say is that it wasn't what he wanted. Which isn't exactly the best response, but he doesn't know if he should assume she did this for him, if it's arrogant to assume that or hurtful to think he had no part in her decision.

And he doesn't know what it means for them, what he's supposed to do know. If she just wants him to pretend that her packing her bags in the middle of the night and leaving meant nothing.

When he starts awake he automatically moves closer to Raven, pulling her in before he's even completely out of sleep.]

Raven?

[The war, Raven remembers vividly. It's a war they need to stop, a war that she's been training for.

But it doesn't ever come to pass because she's whisked away to a Keep that's in another time and place, and home stands still, waiting for her return.

Or at least, so she hopes.

But tonight time moves, and there's Hank -- a beast -- and blurred visions that don't make any sense, tears -- hers -- and then there on the beach, Magneto and Charles fighting and he's right-- God, Erik is right. Both Russian and American ships have missiles headed their way, and it's because of who and what they are, nothing more, nothing less.

Then there's shots fired and Charles goes down -- her brother, her big brother's on the ground and alright, Erik's stopped trying to turn the bombs on the ships but the cost is so very great.

Then she's standing with him, beside him, and as the dream is finishing, she's pulled into consciousness by an arm wrapping around her stomach, pulling her close.]

Wha -- Bobby?
