Brand held his stomach and tied to put pressure on his wound, he didn't want to lose too much blood but that was the least of his worries. He wanted to see Ryze to make sure he wasn't losing his mind. He knew that having to see him like that had to be shocking and traumatizing. Brand didn't even have to get ready to hear his voice in his head. It was one of the instincts. "Perhaps that is what he meant by mastering telepathy." He mumbled to himself before seeing Ryze and Jacob. Brand smiled as he felt Ryze lean down and kiss his cheek. "I love you too."<br/><br/>He squeezed Ryze's hand tightly and couldn't help but crack a joke to lighten the situation "And I just changed these sheets here I go and make them all stained. Brand sighed as Jacob tried healing him but he already knew it wasn't going to work. He saw Jacob leave the room so they could be alone so he could tell Ryz what was going to have to happen. He closed his eyes and almost melted at his fingers going through his hair. "Sweetie, I was in a telepathic dimension. It ran purely on telepathy and it was like my mind just went there. My body stayed there, when I was there I fought a beast and he said he wouldn't let me leave til I mastered telepathy. But it comes with a price."<br/><br/>Brand saddened when Ryze said he couldn't lose him. "Awh baby don't cry please I'm here now." Brand tossed a glare at Jacob who said some snarky comment about them being sappy. His telepathy instantly dropped him to his knees. It would feel as if his skull was cracking and brain splitting. "How could you say something like that? Can't you see he is hurt?!" Ryze called him off and told him he didn't say anything.<br/><br/>Brand realized that his telepathy was just that strong where he didn't even have to try and focus it. It was just channeled he could hear everything without trying. "I'm sorry Jacob! Please forgive me. My telepathy is much stronger now and I would normally have to try to read minds, now its just instant gratification." Brand grabbed his stomach and groaned "You guys will have to bandage me up like normal people. Being a mutant will let me heal somewhat faster but I will have to rest naturally."
