Rescue: Day 19

*Boom*

*Bang*

"There are some cells down here Jean!"

"We have to find him Storm! The informant said that this was where they kept him"

He must be having another fever fantasy he could swear that that's Jean standing there. But she's crying and all his fantasies have been of a safe happy Jean, he doesn't like this one.

This is some fantasy he can smell the leather in her suit and the clean air as they bring him on to the blackbird. He can se fantasy Ororo flying the plane and he actually fell the pain as fantasy Jean cleans he's wounds.

"This is some dream" he tells her as she gives him an injection.

*Blackness*


Infirmary: Day 21

When he awakes he is in the infirmary, his body and hair have been washed for the first time in 19 days and his wounds are bandaged. He fells like he's wrapped up like a mummy and he's properly right. They were not kind to his body at that place.

He tries to sit up but it hurts too much, he makes a sound and she is immediately by his side.

His beauty.

Jean.

" Don't try to sit up my, love. Your wounds are healing"

"Jean?"

"Yes love, you're safe at home," she cries.

"I love you"

"I love you to"

I was so afraid we wouldn't find you in time"

"The visor there's a bomb on…"

"Don't worry we managed to remove it"

"How's Logan?"

"Logan? There where no other prisoners there Scott"

" That must mean he died after all, even with his healingfactor"

He closes his eyes and thinks of what a strange place this world is, he always thought that if one of them were to die it would be him and not Logan. Not Logan who could endure anything and still laugh in the guards faces, not Logan who didn't even have the sanctuary of sleep because of the old and new nightmares. Not Logan.

For a while they just hold each other, sharing their sorrow and relief.


Infirmary: Day 27

Many of the younger students have drawn drawings for him. On them are awkward messages like: Get well soon Mr.Summers and we miss you Mr.Summers.

They made him cry when he saw large number of drawings and notes. He's very emotional right now Jean is the only one he can stand to se



Alive and safe: 1 month and 15 days.

He fells the kids talk behind his back. All they know is that he was held prisoner for almost a month and that when he returned he had to stay in the infirmary for a long time. They don't know all that happened but the scars on the back of his neck and his hands tell them it was something bad. It only confirms what some of them know and some are only just now realising; It's a hard world for mutants.

The whispering and the talking is their way of dealing with it, he turns from the blackboard, put his teacher voice on and tells them about Shakespeare.
