A Wolvie Cold

Sadly I don't own them

Movie verse, Jean POV

The worst Man Cold in the history of the earth.

It's mid spring at the institute, which also means cold season. I am at the tail end of my battle with the common cold. I was pretty much incapacitated for two days and it's been hanging around for another five after that. Thankfully, I have a wonderful partner to take care of me, Scott. He got the cold a few days before I did, but due to his mutation, the sun's radiation kills off pathogenic attacks a bit faster than most of the rest of us. So when I got sick, Scott was there making me soup and taking over a few of my Biology classes.

Now I'm pretty much over it and currently in the med lab catching up, I open up the latest study from a Canadian university on Mutation and Biodiversity. Nothing too ground breaking, but at least there are a few more baby steps taken.

My attention is suddenly taken away from the article by Logan crashing through the door.

"To what do I owe the pleasure of your presence, Logan?"

"Jean, I need you to sedate me!" I have an idea where this is going, but I'm feeling up for a bi t of a game.

"What's wrong? Is it an emergency?"

"I can't sleep."

"Are the nightmares back again?"

"No."

"Then what is it? Remember I'm a telepath, Logan," Logan snaps his jaws shut with that last sentence.

"If I say that it is the nightmares, will that work?" I give him a hard glare " Fine! I have that damn cold that has been going around! I can't stand it! Can't you just knock me out for a couple of hours so my body can take care of it, without me feeling like shit?"

I can't help but smile, the Wolverine has a cold and it's much worse than any man cold I have ever dealt with.

"Logan, I have treated you in this very med bay for much worse. Remember Liberty Island? Ride it out like the rest of us did. Your healing factor should have it knocked out by supper."

"Are you sure? I mean aren't you supposed to help your patients?"

"What you want is overkill. As much as I'm sure Scott would love for me to sedate you for an extended period of time, it would totally go against my morals. Go get some tea and hideout in your room. If the past is any indication you probably have half an hour to every day that I've been sick. You can't last three and a half hours?" I had to throw the challenge in, it could get him out of the lab that much quicker.

Logan swallows hard and narrows his glare at me.

"You ain't playing fair. I'm sure if solder boy asked you for the same you would do it!" And with that an angry Wolverine tucks his tail between his legs and leaves just as Scott enters.

"What's his problem?"

"Scott, hun, that was a Wolverine Cold. Scarier than any man cold that you have ever had." Scott just smiles like he understands what's going on and together we leave the lab for a late afternoon lunch. Just another day at Mutant High.

The End

A/N: Inspired by my current cold and having to deal with a brother with a Man Cold.

10 points to the first person to get the reference to Xmen TAS in the dialogue.
