Rocks poke into the small of her back as her sight faces.

She was to move the offending item, but her limbs won't react.

She feels weak, powerless and she finds it's hard to breath. Shivers (convulsions, who knows?) rake her body, panic screaming in her mind.

She's scared and for once, has no sarcastic remark to give.

Explosions bloom all around her, a beautiful concert. Blinking her eyes, he's looming over her and she's wondering how long he's been there.

Anger bleeds to an unexplainable emotion comes over his face as he lets out a howl. The shout hits her heart and she's crying and she wants to stop, but can't. He falls to his knees besides her, steel crawling back into flesh, the sound causing her gut to tighten. He doesn't know what to do and just like her, it's as if he's been frozen.

A flash and she is pressed into his chest, bare skin touching through rips in uniforms. Part of her expects the usual rush, all the while realizing she's stopped breathing. Cool agony dances through her body, leaping and spinning along her bones. She can't scream out and it's like she's no longer even real.

Nails dig into her arms, trying to bring her even closer. She can't even feel it, but the faint memory of his touch rings in her mind. Tears hit her face, and she knows she should feel cool wetness. But she doesn't and she just wants to reach out and tell Logan it's not his fault, that's she's going to be okay.

Then...it's just as if she's falling into a deep sleep. Everything fades to black and she faintly hears a howl.
