Logan's P.O.V.

Needless to say this last week has been hell. Luckily, we got the Elf home safely. I still wanted to kill Magneto for what he did to him but Charles intervened as always. I leaned against the wall, with my arms across my chest, watching Kurt's chest expand and contract slowly. If he wasn't injured right now, I'd probably be admiring how cute he looks when he sleeps. I heard the doors open and looked to see Half-Pint walk in.

"Kurt sure took a beating, huh?" She asked softly as to not to wake the sleeping fur ball. I felt my hand twitch but ignored it as I let out a sigh.

"Yeah, he sure did." She walked in front of me and smiled.

"What you did was really brave. I don't think Kurt could ask for a better lover." She kissed my cheek and walked out leaving me a bit shocked. It quickly disappeared as Kurt's groans filled the air. His eyes slowly opened and I smiled, strolling over to his bedside.

"Where am I?" He tried to sit up but I made sure he stayed put.

"In the infirmary. Just keep still, Elf. You're hurt pretty bad." Kurt saw no chance in winning against me so he laid back down and stared at the ceiling.

"While I was trapped…I felt like you weren't coming for me." I gasped slightly upon hearing these words. How could he think I wasn't coming for him? I then saw tears streaming down his cheeks. My expression fell as I reached down and wiped them away with my thumb. My hand lingered on his cheek as I stroked his blue fur tenderly.

"You know better than anyone that I would come for ya, kid. I love you." I saw him turn to me and smile that stupid grin of his. It made me smile faintly and lean down, pressing my lips against his. Someone then cleared their throat and I turned my head to see Hank in his lab coat and glasses with clipboard in hand.

"Sorry to break up this tender moment, boys but I need to run some tests now that Kurt's awake." I looked at Kurt and ruffled his hair.

"I'll be waiting for ya, darlin'." I got up and walked out with Kurt removing his shirt behind me as the doors closed. I stopped as Charles rolled up in front of me. From the look on his face, I knew something was wrong.

"Ah, Logan. Please follow me to my office. There's something I'd like to discuss with you." I reluctantly followed Charles to his office and somewhere, deep inside my guy, I felt like this wasn't going to end in my favor. The door was locked as I crossed my arms and leaned against the bookcase.

"So, what's up Charles?"

"It appears that while Kurt was incarcerated by Magneto, he placed some sort of chip under his skin."

"You mean his fur."

"Ah, right. Regardless, Magneto has been tracking him this entire time. Unless we perform surgery to remove the chip, Magneto will come for him." He turned to me with seriousness in his eyes and I sighed heavily, feeling a weight on my shoulders.

"And what's the chance of the Elf surviving a surgery like that?" He closed his eyes and looked away from me.

"About 10%." I growled and unsheathed my claws.

"So you're telling me we either kill Kurt or have Magneto capture him again?"

"Now, relax Logan. I'm sure Kurt can pull through something like this. We—" I walk out slamming the door behind me. I headed straight for the infirmary. Scott saw me and followed beside me.

"Logan, what's up? You—"

"Not now, Shades. I've got some business to take care of." He stopped following me as I entered the infirmary and walked over to Hank.

"Did the Professor tell you what he just told me?" Hank closed his eyes sadly and nodded. I unsheathed one of my claws and turned towards Kurt who laid on the table, his eyes hooded.

"Forget it. I'll do it myself." Hank became serious as he placed his hand on my shoulder.

"Logan, I beg you, don't. Do you know what kind of consequences that can endure?" I turn to him, snarling.

"And do you know what Magneto will do to him if he nabs him again? I'm not gonna let that happen, Hank. The boy's my responsibility and I'll be damned if I don't keep my promise." I strolled over to Kurt's bedside and stroked his hair tenderly. His eyes opened just a bit as he realized I was standing beside him. He groaned a bit and looked at me.

"Logan?"

"It's alright, Elf. Just sleep, okay? I'll be right here beside ya." He nodded and closed his eyes, immediately falling asleep. I turned to Hank and my face softened.

"Please Hank. The boy's all I got." He and I stared at one another for a few moments before he sighed and took off his glasses, cleaning them with his coat. He placed them back on and looked me in the eyes.

"Let's get that chip out of there." I nodded as the lab doors were closed and locked from the peeping-toms who happen to be standing outside listening in. Four hours later, I wiped my brow and leaned back, sighing heavily. I watched the monitor Kurt's heart was hooked up to and watched with my heart booming in my chest. The line then suddenly went flat. My eyes widened as I jumped up, racing to Kurt's side. I grabbed him by the shoulders and shook him.

"C'mon, Elf, snap out of it! Elf! Damn it, Elf, please!" I felt tears prick my eyes and a few escaped onto Kurt's cheek. The line then began to beep again as Kurt's chest began to rise and fall once more.

"He's stable." Hank announced and I sighed with relief. I placed my forehead against his closed my eyes.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again, Blue." Hank put his hand on my shoulder as I stood up, wiping my face of the dried tears.

"Perhaps it would be a good idea if you took your mind off him for awhile." I sighed and looked down at him.

"Yeah, alright." I leaned down and kissed his forehead lovingly.

"I'll be right here when you wake up, Elf. Be strong for me."

"If there are any chances, you'll be the first to know." I headed for the door and stopped.

"Hey, Hank."

"Yes, Logan?" I turned my head over my shoulder and smiled.

"Thanks." He returned it and nodded.

"What are friends for?" I walked out, my hands stuffed in my jean pockets. I decided to go out for a ride. Maybe that'll help clear my head and take my mind off my injured boy.
