A awoke in a white room hooked to various machines.
"Johnny," I whispered, realizing what'd happened. Logan had snuck up on me and knocked me out. Johnny had tried to warn me, but I didn't listen. I sat up, looking around the empty room. The latch at the door turned. I laid back down, closing my eyes.
"Here you are, Bobby, Rogue." I heard Laura's voice say. I forced myself to keep their thoughts out of my head.
"Leslie, are you awake?" Bobby asked as they took a seat on the chairs next to my bed. I fluttered my eyes open to see the ice man, no longer ice, and a girl with gloves on. Her hair was brown with two white streaks in the front. "Good, you are."
"Hi," I said sweetly, reaching for my pockets only to find I was in a hospital uniform. I was screwed.
"How're you feeling?" the girl asked.
"Fine," I replied, trying to hide my disappointment at not finding the lighter. It didn't matter, Johnny had it anyway.
"I'm Bobby," Bobby reintroduced himself. "And this is Rogue."
"Well, I'm very aware of who you are, Bobby," I told him with a hint of sarcasm, reaching for the scratches on my back from Logan. "Nice to meet you, Rogue."
"Bobby, I'll be right back," Rogue said, getting up and walking out of the room.
"Couple?" I questioned.
"Sort of..." he replied. "It's a little difficult, with her powers and all."
"She drains the life out of you," I finished for you.
"How'd you know?" he asked.
"I have Johnny and Laura's powers." I replied. "It happened the first time I was here."
"So you're a crossbreed?" he inquired. I nodded. He looked somber.
"Look, I know I'm going to die," I informed him. "It's ok." He looked up at me as though I'd said he had cancer.
"You won't die, we won't let you," he insisted.
"I know it's going to happen, I'm just doing what I can for now," I assured him.
"But why were you with Johnny?" I didn't answer for a moment.
"It's a long story..."
"I've got time," he persisted.
"I don't."
