DISCLAIMER: DON'T OWN ANYTHING YOU KNOW OF! IF YOU'VE NEVER SEEN IT IN THE MOVIE, IT'S MINE!
Classes were back on schedule, now that Xavier, Jean, and Scott were back. No one but the X-Men knew exactly how. They were just glad to have back the telepaths. It was nice having someone always there to listen, even when you couldn't see him/her. I, for one, found it rather unnerving that there was someone there that could read my thoughts whenever they wanted to.
Jean, once the mighty and deadly Phoenix, now had combined the two personalities and had complete control over her power. I'll consider that a very good thing. Her husband (finally!), Scott, made sure that she could never run away from her emotions or hide them away. He made sure she worked through every one of them. Logan… Well, let's just say he finally got over Jean. Rogue's power was back and she and Bobby were back together again and going strong now that Rogue had control over her power. It was nice, knowing she could touch you and not hurt you. Now, she was getting into the fashion statements. She really looked nice in those clothes. Jimmy, the source of the cure, was welcomed at our school, though most of the students ignored him, afraid of his ability. Warren was one of the only people that didn't ignore him and treated him like a regular person. Jimmy was really grateful for that. Rogue, Jubilee, and Katie (Kitty) grouped together to form the unofficial Logan Fan Club. That's a rather amusing room to stay in at any time. Ro (Storm) and I had been dating for quite some time, getting closer by the day. It was great. Hank was back at the school for a while, resting and enjoying the calm atmosphere. The U.N. didn't need him at the moment as peace talks had reigned supreme after the cure was found and distributed only to willing parties. There had been no activity from Magneto's crew for quite some time, though we all agree he should have had his power back by now. Everyone's wondering why he hasn't attacked yet and what he's planning to do next.
Right now, Ro was teaching her English class. Logan taught self-defense classes as well as power-training classes. Jean taught sciences. Scott taught mechanical classes. Xavier taught Mathematics and Ethics. Hank took over the classes of Psychology and Sociology. Kids were loading into those classes like crazy. As for me, I had the days mainly to myself. I just made sure that the students stayed in class during class time and weren't roaming the halls or grounds without a pass. Right now, I was on a stroll around the campus, looking for stray students. So far, I'd only caught two. That's a good number, considering there's usually an abundance of them during the last period of the day. I smiled and soaked up the sun, enjoying the warm day. A 77° day. Not too hot and yet, not cold. That's a really good day in my book.
Then I saw a shiny glare not far from me, yet off the beaten path. Must be a kid attempting to hide in the brush. So, being the wonderfully wise person that I am, I walked over and went to scold them. With every step closer, my stomach dropped another notch. Something was wrong, terribly wrong. The form wasn't moving. As soon as I could see it clearly, I stopped dead in my tracks. The stench of blood invaded my nose as I looked upon the body of a teenage female. Numerous cuts and bruises littered her body. Getting my senses back, I darted over and grabbed her wrist. There was a pulse, slow and barely noticeable, but a pulse nonetheless. With little to no hesitation, I picked her up and ran back towards the school. Then I teleported into the hospital wing. Next, I teleported right into Jean's classroom, to the very back. She saw me and frowned.
What is it?
I hesitated. Jean tensed.
"Class is dismissed for today," she said. Instantly, everyone ran out of the room with a whoop of joy. "What is it, Kurt?"
"Just come with me," I replied, taking her arm. Then I teleported us back down to the hospital wing so she could see the girl. Jean only started for a moment, then got back down to business. She began to work on the girl, hooking her up to machines and wires. I stood to the side helplessly.
"Where did you find her?" she asked.
"In the brush, next to the road," I answered. "Will she be all right?"
Jean hesitated in answering. That was never a good sign.
"It's too soon to tell," she replied. Then she gave me a reassuring smile. "Go back to your rounds. I'll contact you if there's any change."
I nodded, giving the kid one last look before teleporting out. Why stay? I was useless there anyway.
I was floating in a black abyss. All around me was darkness.
Am I dead? Where am I?
There were voices all around me, along with a constant beeping noise.
Why can't I open my eyes?
The voices grew more frantic around me.
They're outside! Help me… please… someone… anyone… help…
I watched in disbelief as the charts began to go haywire. What was happening? Logan, Kurt, Ro, and Hank were all talking at once, trying to explain what was going on. I pressed on the keyboard and the other machines. Nothing was responding! We were going to lose her!
Calm down, Jean. This is a sign of someone with great power, struggling to wake from her unconscious state. Disconnect the wires.
I relaxed, hearing Xavier in my mind. Following his wisdom, I followed orders. Soon enough, the main monitor calmed down, the brain waves becoming normal once more. It was a good thing. She was safe once more. Then, slowly, she began to open her eyes.
