"Aaah..." Betsy held her head and didn't notice that she started levitating. "Ray..." she whispered, "I-I can't stop it... I... I can't!" Betsy suddenly got freaked. In panic she looked down and tried to stop levitating, but she just continued rising into the air. "RAY!!!" she yelled. "I can hear them!! I can hear all of you! Nghh!!" Desperately she tried all she had to calm down again, and she stayed in the air. She was starting to get a grip, before she lost again. "Ngh..." she heard them, all of them. All the students in the mansion. "Ray! Blast me!! Just shoot me before I do!!" She started crying. She was scared to death. This had happened before, but not like this.

Scott heard the yell from down the hall and ran to see what was the matter. Sounded like Ray's room. He reached the door just as Jamie was leaving. Scott pushed past the younger mutant. "What's wrong?" Oh, sh*t, he thought, looking at Betsy. Reminded him of Jean, when her powers had surged.

"NoNO get outta my head!!" Betsy screamed and held for her ears with tears streaming down her cheeks. Scott's mind was an open book ow and she knew everything now. "NO STOP IT!!!" Betsy lost it again and rose higher.

"I'm not in your head," he replied, a little panicked. Scott didn't know what to do. Betsy wasn't Jean, she wasn't someone he was close to. I'm not qualified for this type of thing, he thought. Professor, he mentally called, Professor, we need you, like 5 minutes ago. He projected Betsy's state to his mentor, hoping he would know exactly what to do.

Betsy was crying. Why did this happen, she read everybody she could sense, and couldn't stop it. Betsy tried to concentrate on calming down and getting a hold of herself, but nothing listnened to her anymore. "HELP!!" she called out and looked wide eyed at Scott. "Help me, Scott!!"

"Focus on US, Betsy!!!!" Ray insisted, not thinking, only speaking; "Just my voie, I'm tangible, remember? Betsy just block everything else out..." Tentatively, he reached out, trying to grab her ankle and pull her back down, but stopping when a crackling bolt streaked across his knuckles.
"Betsy, block it out." Ray said again.
He didn't want to "shoot" her. He needed Paige at the moment, his emotions were spiking and he wasn't going to handle this well if it progressed. He was thoroughly unnerved. Not scared, but unnerved. And he didn't know what to do

"I-I can't... I'm loosing you... Please, Ray, shoot me before I shoot someone else!" She breathed panickly, realizing that the room was starting to shake. "RAY!! DO IT!!" "Come on... Focus..." she thought and eyed Ray and Scott intensively. She looked at them, stared them down, then, softly started to lower down to the ground again where she passed out on the floor.

"I don't know what to do," he flustered. "Betsy, I ...I'm not...I helped Jean but...we had Rogue." His mind was a million places at once. He never thought he'd have to go through this scenario again. He took a deep breath, not sure if the Professor would show up in time. This is it, he thought, you've been training to be a leader now do it.
"Betsy, I need you to do something for me. I need you to focus. I need you to block out those other people, they don't matter, they're not here. We're here. You and Ray and me, we're here. Pull yourself away from those other voices. Take a deep breath, and concentrate."

Ray completely blocked off the electricity, pinning it deep in his chest as he went over and felt her forehead; "She's out," he said frustratedly; "At least physically," he looked at Scott; "This does not look good. Has Jean ever done this? Maybe I should go get Paige..." he rambled off for a bit as he thought aloud, finally quietening.
"Bets?" he asked, looking at his newest friend; "Elizabeth!" he said louder, snapping his fingers in front of her face. Maybe a little jolt wouldn't be so bad...

Betsy was still lying unconscious on the floor. But like all other telepaths her power was still active. She controlled her TK, but not her telepathy. She heard every single individual at Xavier's and possibly Bayville. She was far away, and needed something to hold onto.

"Once. Jean did this one time and it scared the crap out of me. Didn't think I'd have to deal with this a second time...or if I ever in my subconscious thought I'd have to deal with it again I thought it would at least be Jean, not someone new." Scott leaned down and checked her pulse, just to be sure. Not that he didn't trust Ray to know but Scott was anxious, putting ingrained first aid to use gave his body something to do as his mind did cartwheels. Her pulse was steady, so at least physically she was alright. Scott ran his fingers though his hair nervously, "God, I wish I had TP. Then I'd have some clue what was going on. "

Betsy was looking fine on the outside, but inside her mind was collpasing. She heard everything, everyone, and it scared the crap outta her. Inside her head, she was despirately running, seeking for something to hold onto, but no one could be reached. Still unconscious, tears ran down Betsy's cheeks. "HEEEEELP!!" she screamed inside her head, hopefully something of the message reaching Scott's and Ray's minds.

"Did you hear that," Scott asked Ray. "Sounded like..." he gazed at Betsy. Alright, I'm no telepath, but I'm gonna guess she can maybe hear me. 'Betsy,' he thought, 'Betsy, it's okay, we're here, we're not gonna leave you.' Inwardly he cursed, just their luck that the one time they could use a telepath none were to be found, not to mention Rogue was lord knew where. 'Can you focus on us? One of us?'he asked her, knowing that his mental link hardly qualified him for rescuing people from the psychic abyss.

Betsy, inside her head, read Scott's mind, she saw a projection of him, but he didn't hear her. "SCOTT!!" she yelled and tried to grab his hand, but he was like a ghost. "No, don't go!! don't... Leave... Me..." she looked around and saw other people, but none were to hear her, she was completely blocked, why didn't Ray or Scott blast her before she got trapped inside her own mind? "SCOTT!! RAY!!!" she screamed again, trying to project it inside their minds, but this time it didn't work. "No..."

Ray stumbled back a little, that being the first time someone had forced their way into his mind in years. He'd built good barriers, but Betsy had blown his to peices. After collecting himself, he just looked at Scott and slowly approached again.
He looked at Betsy; Bets? he thought, trying to send it solely to her, make it ampliphy. FOCUS ON MINE AND SCOTT'S VOICES. JUST US
