Ebony's been let out of the infirmary today, her condition improved during the night and she's even running the obstacle course tomorrow.
Only her and me know why she made such a big improvement in such a short time, why she's pretty much better apart from still being chesty and needing to take antibiotics.
It all started this morning about 4am, I take that shift a lot, because that's when she wakes up, and I for one would rather have someone my own age with me when I woke up at that time in the morning. Adults are just no fun, plus its my chance to know that no ones gonna come in and I can talk to her privately, not that anything I say to her couldn't be said publicly, it's just… I don't know.
I guess I value my time with her…
Anyway, It seems lie I cheer her up, being a bit of a joker, and hey that's fine with me, if there is a god and he gave us each a purpose mine is to make people laugh.
Anyway I digress, it was 4 am, about and I went down to see Ebs, and I met ogan on the way "Your up bright and early drake" I swear that man has never called me by my first name ever, he acts like everything with rogue was my fault, even when she was the one that broke MY heart.
"This is my usual shift for watching ebony, we're all keeping an eye on her in case she needs anything in the night… she usually wakes up about now" I try to remain civil
"Oh can I come see her"
"Let me see the man she more scared of than any horror movie? At 4 am? I don't think soo…" I quip.
"Drake don't push me"
"Push you, I'm not even touching you"
"oh your so funny I forgot to laugh"
"Shut up Logan"
"Look drake I just want"
"YOU JUST WANT WHAT? To scare her to make her see what a big tough hard rebel guy you are, to recruit her to the club of "I DON'T GIVE A DAMN" ers? I mean that's what you do with most people, isn't it?"
"Don't lecture me drake I'm older and stronger than you and I ain't taking any crap I Ain''t gonna be penalized for something I Can't remember doing! Maybe not now, maybe not today, MAYBE NOT TOMMOROW"
"Don't talk loud you'll wake her up"
"Like you just didn't But that's not it drake, one of these days you people have to let me near enough to her so I can apologize an' I won't take no for an answer"
"Maybe one day soon but not now, so piss of back to bed"
"FINE drake, but this ain't over!" he turns and stalks off the hall.
Jerk
I push open the infirmary door, and she's standing, beautiful in what little moonlight seeps through the high window of the infirmary that just peeks above the ground outside. Her black hair is silver from the light in places, her face lit flatteringly, and her figure light and airy. For a moment I could almost believe she was a moon beam lady my mum used to tell me stories about when I was little, that she would disappear laughing if I reached out and touched her.
"Ebs" I say softly o let her know I'm here, she turns wound, smile shyly, like a child caught with her hand in the cooky jar "you should be in bed" I tease.
"I heard you two argueing"
"Sorry for waking you up"
"Thanks"
For a moment I don't realise what she means, but I guess she's talking about keeping logan away from her
"That's ok" I reply
"I need to go outside"
"WHAT?"
"Shss"
the last thing you need to do is go outside at 4 am when it snowing you'll make it owrse"
"No it I won't, I need, I need to touch the earth don't ask me to explain I just have to. It will help, just trust me"
"I don't know why I'm doing this but…"
Afterwards I was glad to have trusted her, when she touched the earth, she scooped the snow away first, but there was this green spark and she seemed to feel a lot better for it, I think that's part of her powers. I remember now, endurance, increased by touching the earth, it's not like wolverines healing factor but it helps her fight sickness and stuff, helps her by strong.
Nice power to have, must come in useful, most of her powers are quite defensive when I think about it.
Defensive, if I could sum Ebs up in one word that would be
