Beast took her pulse.
"Logan……….where…..-"tried saying Storm. She kept running out of breath.
"I'm here," he told her and held her hand.
"I…….need…….talk……….you," she said with difficulty.
"What is it, Ro?" asked Logan.
Storm fixed her eyes on his. He knew what she meant.
"Can you give us a minute?" he asked the X-men as nicely as possible.
"Alright," everyone agreed.
They were all gone.
"What did you want to tell me?" he asked her.
"I………..love…………you," she smiled.
Logan smiled. He was happy to hear those words, but he thought of what Beast said, that she wouldn't last the night, and just made him miserable. The thought of being without her, her, the woman that changed his life forever, the woman that made him smile on the toughest day, was terrible.
"I...love you too," he said holding her hand, "don't leave me."
"You…..." she was trying to catch her breath, "will……….survive…………with……..out……..me."
"No I need you, Ro! I won't function without you. I want you with me, not……….," he couldn't finish the sentence.
"Take……….care……….of………..everyone," were her last words, then her world went black forever.
