Together
I stared at him. Oh God. How was there no blood? He's...oh God no he can't be...he can't be dead.
I don't even hear what the cops are saying. I'm barely even aware that Bobby and Rogue are on the ground...on the ground where Logan is. I can't stand to look at him anymore. I don't want to see him lying there. Not moving, not breathing, not...anything.
I can't take it anymore. And suddenly I realize I'll never look at him again. He'll never look at me. I'll never get to hear him say another word. I'll never get to feel his lips against mine again. I'll never see him smile. Never again.
Those cops took him away from me. And they will pay.
"You know mutants, officer? You should be afraid of them, especially me. I'm the worst."
The words came out of my mouth. I could have stopped myself from using my powers if I wanted to. All I could think is that they had hurt the person I loved. So they would all suffer from my anger as Logan suffered from the bullet.
I was out of control. I had hurled the flames at any police people that were coming. Bobby looked up at me...he looked at me like I was insane. Maybe I was by then. I didn't even notice that Rogue was looking at me the same way to.
I didn't even notice when Logan began to stir a little, or when a new police car came into view. Or when Rogue un-gloved hand found my leg and grabbed it.
I noticed after that. It hurt so much. It felt like I was on fire. I think I knew then what it felt for everyone getting blasted by my fire. Now I couldn't even describe the pain. I thought I would die now then she let go. I collapsed.
Logan got up. I could barely tell. My vision was blurring but I could still tell that he was up. My mind suddenly realized that Logan had accelerated healing powers. Oops. All those people I hurt, for no reason. I noticed Rogue had made my fires dissolve.
Logan was all right. I was fine. The police were hurt. That's okay. As long as we're together, I don't care.
the end.
