Something is wrong.

Start from the beginning
                                        

Her eyes were open, and she was frozen, bow drawn back. I'm not out, why can't I move? She felt people next to her, she was pointing her bow at people, they were to blurred to identify, all except one. He was on the ground, barely moving. Dee? No no no. She felt her body melt, and the dark around her was slipping away. But not before she heard something that froze her blood, words with no voice. "It's him or you, you chose."

She sat up, gasping for air. Calm down, calm down. Her breathing was short and panicked, she looked around and saw three people. Mikey, Leo, and Donnie. Him or you. She grabbed her head trying to keep it all in. Do not. She looked up again, they all looked like they were panicked as well, Leo was close hand hovering as if he wanted to grab her hand, and Donnie was hugging Mikey a the end of the bed. They didn't... her attention snapped to Mikey, and he flinched. "No one touched me, right?" She asked.

"N-no," he said between sobs, ohhh shit. "What the hell was that?"

"Language, but yeah. What was that? And why couldn't we touch you?" Leo asked.

"Words, I-I, can't..." she tried dissolving into tears of fear and relief. They didn't see.

Donnie came over and wrapped her in a hug. Ohh, he's crying to. She threw her arms around him sobbing. She was just so grateful that he was ok, and that he didn't know.

"You don't know what you did, do you?" Donnie asked.

"What do you mean." She asked calming down a bit. He's ok, he's here.

"You don't know what your body was doing do you?" Donnie asked again, clarifying.

"Umm, no." She said wiping her eyes. "I've never been in the other side of it, and I've never bothered to ask."

"Other side of what?" Mikey asked.

She went quite. How can I even explain? They wouldn't understand.

Silence. "Do you want to know?" Leo asked.

"What?" She asked.

"Yeah, what?" Donnie asked.

"Well, it's difficult to explain what we just witnessed, but she can read our minds right? Can't she just connect and look at it from our prospective?"

Oh hell no. "No!" She said, a little to forcefully, "Well, ok technically yes, I could. But I'm not going to invade your privacy like that! I hate doing that, and besides I don't need to-"

"Yes, you do," Mikey said, "you need to know what your body dose when that happens. Of for no other reason do that you can warn people when it happens." Mikey said, shaking like a leaf.

Wow, what ever it was must have been bad. Leo looked like he was a second away form giving her another physical, even as he went over to hug Mikey, who was still crying and shaking, and Donnie. He looked like he wanted to ball her up and carry her for the rest of the day. Sweet but really? "Ok."

"What?" Donnie said.

"Ok, we're doing this." She said, Leo and Mikey moved to the side of the bed, opposite of Donnie. "But there are some things you need to know first. One, I'm going to need you to let me and each other in, that means you stay calm. Two, this is going to feel weird so try not to freak out. Three, you need to focus on what you want me to see, otherwise I'll have to look through your minds. And finally, your going to have to relive this, I'll see a compilation of your memories and emotions, but you will see and feel everything over agin. If you don't want to do this, now is the time to back out." She looked around, they all nodded. Ok then. "Grab onto each other." She grabbed Leo and Donnie's hands, and they each took one of Mikeys. "Here we go."
