Chapter 26: Me thinks he's awake.

Disclaimer: I don't own X-men… yet?

Blinding lights, why is it you never have a warm and fuzzy feeling when you wake up with blinding lights? Kurt squinted his eyes and mumbled a few choice words before sorely sitting himself up in bed "Eine andere Form der Folter?" -(Another form of torture?)

"Kurt?"

He looked up to see Elana sitting at the foot of his bed, her face lit up with a giant smile. "Elana?" His eyes became wide as he stared at her "It vwas you... I, I thought that I vwas dreaming..."

"Oh Kurt!" she jumped up to give him a tender hug, "You were out cold for three days! Hank said that it wasn't serious or anything, but you could have been out for more than a week… I, I was sooo worried."

He pulled her into a tighter hug, since his body was now slightly numb from all the pain killers. Her hair still had the sweet vanilla tinge to it and it calmed all his heightened emotions again. He whispered sweetly to her, "Elana… I remember vwhat happened… you… saved me."

She pulled back a little, unsure of his emotions. "And you're not scared?"

"Vwhy vwould I be? If it vwasn't for you I'd still be in that torture chamber."

She pulled completely away from him but held a tight grip of his hand, her eyes moved away to stare at a spot on the floor. "I've never really shown my full potential to someone before; I was always scared that they would, I don't know, fear me afterward."

He smiled, "Again, vwhy vwould I be frightened of having a kick ass girlfriend? The only person that should be shaking in their boots is the first dumbass vwho decides to get on your bad side."

She still held her serious stare to the floor, "But, sometimes I can't control it… and."

"Elana." He sorely reached his arm up to her cheek so he could face her to him, "Vwhy do you think you are here? The vwhole reason this school even exists is so that vwe can all learn to better understand our own unique abilities." She met his gaze but still had a bit of uncertainty in her eyes, "I said that I loved you Elana, und I still mean it. No matter if you become strong enough to make the vwhole vworld implode." He paused to think back into his memories and then smiled, "Or even if you sprout five extra arms." He poked her on the nose wile laughing lightly to himself, "I vwill always love you."She smiled as she closed her eyes and then leaned down to quietly lay next to him in the bed, till she started softly giggling to herself. "Vwhat?"

She giggled some more, "What would you do if I just suddenly sprouted five more arms?"

He chuckled as she snuggled herself closer to him and carefully stated in a sweet yet sarcastic voice "Vwell first I'd reassure you that I still love you…" She started laughing harder. "Then I'd probably ask Hank vwhat the hell he did to my girlfriend." She kept her giggle fits going until they abruptly ended from his next question, "Elana, vwhy are you still in your uniform?"

Her lips pursed together and she looked up at him with a very innocent "Hmm?"

"Elana."

"Would you believe me if I said that I just got back from a danger room training session?"

He crooked an eyebrow at her, "Is that your vweird vway of confessing to me that you haven't left the room since I got here?"

"Depends, do you find it creepy?"

He chuckled again, "Nein, I'm just happy that I vwasn't knocked out for a vweek, you'd begin to stink."

She lightly socked him on the arm and began laughing again, "Shut up!"

He smirked and played along, "Vwhat? It's true!"

"Ok, well next time I'll be sure to shower and dress up all nice for you before you wake up ok?"

Hank walked in the room with a bright yet evil smile on his face, "Next time?" Elana sat up to happily wave to Mr. McCoy wile Kurt just smirked from his bed, his arms crossed. "Ah, It's nice to see you both so bright and chipper."

Kurt rolled his eyes, "Oh vwell, I vwas just vwondering to myself vwhy you vwould let such a dirty little girl in my bed vwile I vwas unconscious?"

Elana Looked back to Kurt, "Hey!"

Hank started chuckling darkly to himself, "Well I figured that she wasn't going to molest you in your sleep, so I didn't see any harm in it."

Kurt started coughing sporadically and wiped a tear from his eye, "I meant the unclean kind of dirty Hank… jeez."

Hank winked to him. "I told her she could go get cleaned up but she..." He then pointed to the seemingly Innocent girl peering sweetly up to him from the bed, "Just wouldn't have any of it!"

She crossed her arms, "Well do ya blame me? Weren't you the one to say that he would be out for at least a week?" She then copied him by dramatically pointed over to Kurt, "Me thinks he's awake!"

"How was I supposed to know exactly when he would wake up?"

"You wouldn't, that's the point. I didn't want to go take a shower because with my luck, the moment I left he'd wake up."

Hank then looked back to Kurt, "Honestly, how do you put up with her? I had a conversation with her a little while ago, and no matter what subject we were on, even if we weren't arguing, she would always have to turn out right. It's like a maze without an exit, you don't know where the hell the conversation is leading you but in the end you always seem to turn out wrong. So really, you should just turn around and walk away before even trying!"

"And that's what makes me a dam good lawyer," Elana stuck her tongue out at him before interjecting again, "Besides, I'm not always right, I just only argue when I know I'm right."

Hank turned to stare at Kurt, "SEE, what did I tell you? I'm wrong again!"

She fell back onto the bed and giggled a bit more as Kurt scooted over to wrap his arms and now functioning tail around her, "Vwell Hank, I think it's refreshing."

Mr. McCoy snorted, "What, to be wrong all the time?"

"Nein, to have someone vwho keeps you quick und vwitty." He blushed a little as she kissed him lovingly on the cheek.

"Eh, come on now, you'll have plenty of time to kiss each other when I'm not here once I check his vitals."

"All right Hank, I get the message." She stood from the bed and headed towards the door till Kurt let out a wine to complain to her.

"Hey! Vwhere is my goodbye? I've been awake for less than five minutes und you're leaving me?"

She turned around to give him a look, "I seem to remember you calling me smelly and dirty all in the same conversation. So excuse me if my manners aren't perfectly executed for you. I'm going to take a shower." With a wink of her eye and a smug little smile on her lips she left out the door.

"Well she's a firecracker." Mr. McCoy walked over to Kurt's bed and pulled over a chair with his blood pressure cuff and a stethoscope.

Kurt just gave a longing stare out the door to the empty hall way, "Ja..."

Hank chuckled a bit more as he reached over to place the cuff on his arm, "So are you feeling better?"

"Vwell Hank I'm not unconscious anymore, so I'd consider that as being better. Vwouldn't you?" His canines shined as they shown through his merrily smiling lips.

Hank jokingly slapped him upside the head, "Unfortunately your sense of hummer doesn't seem to have lost its annoying touch of sarcasm." Kurt frowned and rubbed the back of his head as Hank pumped up the cuff. "But in all truth, seriously Kurt, how are you feeling?"

Kurt smiled, "I'm a bit sore und my muscles are all tense, but that's expected from not moving around for two days strait."

Hank looked up from "So you don't feel like the electrocution did anything drastic to you at all?"

He shook his head reassuringly and did a thumbs up to himself, "Magneto vwas too scared to damage the goods. Turns out the fuzzy dude vwas a majorly important part to his newest plan for mutant domination."

"Ya well good thing we got to you in time…"

"Ja, I vwas almost going to take my chances and port blindly to escape, but vwe all know how that probably vwould have turned out."

"Let's not dwell on that thought right now." Hank leaned in from his seat to try to read his heart beat and breathing. He then started chuckling, "You know, I never realized how difficult it is to get a good heart rate through all your fur. It sounds like static on a bad TV station."

He smirked, "Hey! I vwouldn't be complaining Mr. Beastly."

Hank looked up over the rim of his glasses and sat back in the chair to take a look at Kurt for a moment, like his mind had suddenly brought him back to something, "You know Kurt, we all were really worried about you. It's good that your back."

Kurt smiled, a little chocked up from Hanks seriousness, "Thanks Hank."

Mr. McCoy stood up abruptly and removed the cuff from Kurts arm, "Well you sound all good, though if you're going to leave the med-room like I know you will, try to take it easy."

Kurt razed his eyebrow suggestively, "How easy are vwe talken?"

Hank smirked. "Just try to avoid porting around everywhere and doing danger room sessions before I have you come back here to test you again ok?"

"That can be possible." Hank walked over to grab something from a nearby table and turned to quickly chuck it at his unsuspecting patient, "Gah!" Kurt's face met with a large mess of cloths. "Vwhat is this?"

"Cloths so you don't have to walk all the way to your room in only a medical gown."

"Vwouldn't I just port up to my roo… oh right, keine teleportation-(no teliporting)... Dam, this is going to be harder than I thought."

Hank started laughing and teased him as he left the room, "Just get out of here Kurt."

"Vwill do."

Elana stepped out of the steamy bathroom and looked over to the clock on her bedside table, "Damn I'm good, ten minutes flat." She walked over to go leave but the door turned in before she could reach it.

"Ya well like, why didn't you say that from the beginning?" Kitty's bubbling voice bounded off the walls as she entered the room, but was followed by a deeper manlier tone.

"I did! You were over in the corner spacing out." Lance followed Kitty onto her room but then stopped awkwardly as he saw Elana standing there.

"Hey Elana, is Kurt doing any better?" Kitty smiled brightly, "Cus this is the first time I've seen you outside his room in like days."

"Ya he's up now. I'm going over to meet up with him now."

"He's up…" Lance was stunned.

"Well how is he?" Kitty's ecstatic nature was overflowing.

"He's perfectly fine, just a little sore."

"Then tell him we'll be paying him a visit very soon to say hi ok?"

"Will do." Elana then gave a cheery smile and walked out of the room into the hall where coincidentally she spied Kurt slowly lagging along. She ran down to meet up with him, her face happy and relieved to see him out of the bed so soon, until she saw his face strained with pain. "Kurt what's up with the face."

He looked up to see her standing next to him, concern written all throughout her eyes. "Elana, oh um… it's my muscles, there just a bit more sore than I originally thought vwile lying in the bed."

She smiled, "Well how about I help you to your room so you can sit down, and then…" Her tone became more seductive as she wrapped her arm around his waist to give him some support. "I'll give you a very soothing massage to loosen up all your tense, stressed out muscles."

He looked down at her gratefully but had a sparkle of mischief in his eyes, "I love how you talk sexy to me."

Her lips adorn their signature evil smile as she turned her head up to softly kiss his ear, "If you like how I talk the sexy, just wait till you see how I walk it…"

He chuckled darkly to himself as he allowed his imagination to run wild with thoughts. "Let's go then."

Sorry I had to cut you guy's off right there but sleep is very important for me tonight. Awesome news!
