Protectors
It was after Christmas and everyone else was still out visiting for the holidays, even Professor Xavier and Hank McCoy were out, although they were searching for parts for Cerebro and not exactly spending the holidays.
The only X Men at the mansion were Shadowcat and Wolverine, otherwise known as Kitty and Logan. Kitty had just returned from spending the holidays with her parents and Logan had returned a bit sooner from playing pool at the local bar. Logan hadn't really minded Kitty's company; ever since the incident a while back in the wilderness of Canada, he had grown quite fond of the young X Man and felt oddly protective of her, more than he was willing to admit.
It was about 8 pm and there wasn't much to do. Logan was sitting on the couch watching nothing imparticular on tv when Kitty came in the room and decided to put her videotape of Titanic in the VCR. Logan, not really much interested decided to just lay back and rest for a while. Kitty hopped on the couch next to him, bowl of popcorn in hand.
"I love this movie!,..it's like kinda depressing though."
Logan just sat back while a half smile appeared on his face. She just looked over at him and said
"Hey Logan, want some popcorn?"
He looked up and replied "No thanks kid" and went back to resting.
About halfway through the movie Kitty got tired and fell asleep, curling close to Logan on the couch and resting her head against his chest. The steady beat of his heart lulled her into a deep sleep.
It was about midnight now and the two were fast asleep until Logan perked up with a start, also startling Kitty awake. Sleepy eyed Kitty looked at him.
"Logan? what is it?"
He stood up and sniffed the air "Heard sumthin" was his only response. Kitty a little worried now asked
"What?"
"I dunno, better go check it out" He started toward the stairs then turned back to Kitty before saying
"Stay here"
Kitty was a little curious but did as he said anyway because she could tell by the tone in his voice that something was wrong.
Logan was cautiously making his way down the darkened hallway of the mansion, slowly making his was toward Cerebro. He stopped and sniffed the air again before he let out a whisper, "Magneto" Before he could react he felt himself being lifted off the ground and crashing through the nearest window. He landed in the backyard with a loud *THUD!* He let out a painful grunt and tried to sit up despite the throbbing pain in his head and back.
Kitty heard the noise and ran to the back door surprised to see Logan sprawled out on his back on the lawn, surrounded by glass. She ran out in the dark and hurried by his side, unaware of Magneto hovering overhead.
"Foolish X Men!" he roared.
Logan's healing factor set in and he clumsily rose to his feet. Kitty looked at him wearily.
"you okay?"
With a grunt he looked down at her and replied
"Uhh, yeah I'm fine"
He finally remembered Magneto and looked up. He barked at Kitty to get back, his gaze not leaving Magneto. Kitty stepped back and kept her eyes on Logan and Magneto. All of a sudden Logan outstretched his arms and *SNIKT!* his adamantium claws popped from the backs of his hands and he stood in a battle position. Kitty looked in awe keeping back as Logan had told her, afraid of what might await them.
"Wolverine! tisk tisk, have you forgotten that I can control that metal inside you?"
Logan couldn't see his expression but he knew Magneto was overly confident and cocky, like he had already gotten what he wanted. A deep growl emitted from Logan's throat as he knew he couldn't do much to stop Magneto, but he would protect the mansion and Kitty hiding under a nearby tree, with all of his strength.
Kitty was worried because she knew what Magneto could do and if he took control of Logan's bones, Logan could do nothing about it.
Magneto lowered himself to the ground and before anything could be done Logan lunged forward at him and left a deep gash in Magnetos shoulder before he was thrown into the air and smacked into a tree. Kitty was helpless to do anything and she knew Logan would have wanted her to stay put while Magneto was still around. She looked over at Logan unconscious on the frozen ground. Magneto moved closer to him as Logan's lifeless body rose into the air and was then dumped on the ice of the frozen pool. Kitty couldn't help but yell out for her fallen friend.
"Noooo! Leave him alone!"
She looked up at Magneto half expecting him to go after her, instead he rose into the air using his magnetic field, and disappeared.
Kitty still looking out into the sky where Magneto had gone, snapped back into reality remembering Logan on the pool. She looked at his lifeless body and noticed the ice around him began to crack and break apart. Kitty ran toward the pool as fast as her legs could carry her.
It was too late, Logan had already begun to sink beneath the ice and still unconscious he drifted towards the bottom of the pool, his heavy metal bones dragging him down into the icy waters. Without thinking Kitty jumped into the pool, phasing through the thick ice after Logan. She had to concentrate hard if she was going to keep phasing through the icy water. She reached out and grabbed Logan by his shirt collar and using all her strength, made her way to the surface and out of the pool. She dragged Logan onto the deck. He was soaking wet and his skin was ice cold. Kitty only hoped she wasn't too late. From her training given by the professor she knew how to do CPR, and in this case she would have to use it. She continued CPR for 3 minutes until Logan began violently coughing up water. She helped him roll to his side as water poured from his lungs. Kitty was relieved and showed concern in her voice.
"Are you okay?"
Logan gave way a soft grunt to signal he was ok, although Kitty's expression proved otherwise. He slowly got to his feet but his knees weakened and his tired body fell back down. Kitty picked up his huge arm and wrapped it gently around her shoulder. Logan leaned up against her for support as they made it towards the back door of the mansion.
They made their way through the mansion and up to the infirmary, Logan's clothes dripping an icy trail along the way.
"Here take these" Kitty handed him a towel and a change of clothes.
"Thanks half-pint" He wearily replied, taking the items with a brief smile and closing the infirmary door.
Kitty gave him some time to change and then asked if he was done.
No answer.
"Logan?"
Nothing again.
She opened the door and saw Logan sitting on the floor by the bed, barely conscious. She ran over to him and knelt by his side. She spoke softly
"Logan?" she asked cautiously
He groaned and slowly brought his head up to look at her. She noticed his eyes were tired and dull. Not sure if he could hear her or not, she spoke to him.
"Okay Logan, let's get you inta bed"
She dragged him up onto the bed. Kitty saw that he was trying to help her get him on the bed, but he had no strength left.
Logan was finally in bed and it was warm and he was very tired. Kitty grabbed some medical supplies and began to bandage his battered chest. He winced in pain as she wrapped the bandage but he knew she was only trying to help. While she was doing this Logan seemed to fall into unconsciousness again and Kitty let him rest, covering him in warm blankets. The phone began to ring and although she didn't want to leave him she quietly left the room and went downstairs to answer the phone.
Before she could speak, the voice on the phone did.
"Hello Kitty"
"Professor! Boy is it good to hear your voice! I-"
"I already know Kitty" His voice was grim.
"But Magneto he-"
" I know"
"And Logan is-"
"I know what happened Kitty. How is Logan doing?"
"He's just gotten to sleep now, I brought him to the infirmary and got him some dry clothes but he seems like kinda slow and not like himself"
"Yes Kitty, the shock of the cold has probably slown down his ability to heal and hypothermia has more than likely started to set in"
"Is he like gonna be okay?" Her voice now growing with concern.
" Just keep a close eye on him and keep him warm. When he gets up try to get him to move around a bit to get the circulation of blood flowing again"
"Okay Professor"
"I'll return with Hank as soon as possible" And with that, they both hung up the phone.
Kitty ran upstairs to check up on Logan. Not wanting to wake him she slowly stepped inside.
She then quietly crept towards the bed next to Logan's and laid down on it. Kitty rested her head on the pillow looking at Logan and watching the rise and fall of his chest with each breath. Staying awake to watch him, she had grown even more tired than she already had been and eventually nodded off to sleep.
It was now 6am and Kitty woke up and sat up in bed to rub her eyes. She looked over at the bed she had been keeping an eye on most of the night. There was only an imprint of a body along with rumpled blankets, Logan wasn't there. She began to feel slightly worried and rushed out of bed to look for him. After calling his name a few times she went downstairs and headed toward the kitchen.
Logan was in the kitchen and could smell Kitty close by but didn't turn around. He was holding on the edge of a counter for support and clutching his ribs with the other hand. Kitty caught site of him and walked in relieved she had found him and he wasn't unconscious on the floor.
"Logan?! What are you doing?"
"Lookin' fer sumthin ta eat, I'm hungry" He voice was slightly raspy from the water in his lungs.
"You should be resting" She went over to him to steady him as he let go of the counter.
"I ain't tired"
"Yeah but you're like not all healed yet, your body needs to rest"
"Alright, alright, I'll go but I need sumthin ta eat first"
"Okay here," She carefully took his arm and led him to a chair. "Sit down and I'll get something for you kay?"
He raised an eyebrow in question as she took some eggs out of the refrigerator and started making his breakfast.
Logan winced as a sharp pain struck him and he clutched his ribs. He must have made some kind of noise because Kitty looked over at him. He gave her a sharp stare and she knew he didn't want her to say anything, so she didn't. The pain subsided and he began to eat as she placed the plate of food infront of him.
When he finished he got up slowly and Kitty walked over to help him, he didn't resist her helping and they made their way back to the medlab.
They were right near the door when the pain struck again, Logan felt his knees get weak as he stumbled and wrapped his arms around his ribs, letting go of Kitty's support. The pain reached his head and he fell completely to the floor, the blackness of unconsciousness consuming him. The last thing he heard was Kitty's voice pleading with him to answer her if he was ok.
By the time he woke up he found himself staring at the ceiling of the medlab. Although, how he had gotten there he was unsure. When his vision cleared better he noticed Hank McCoy standing over him.
"Logan, you're awake, feeling any better?"
"No" He let out a soft grunt "Not really"
A few seconds of silence and Professor Xavier strolled in, Kitty trailing behind. As soon as she noticed Logan was awake she squeaked out "Logan!" and ran over to his bedside and gave him a hug. Logan grunted and said
"Easy half-pint! I can't breath"
"sorry"
She backed up barely containing the overwhelming smile that engulfed her face. She was so glad he was awake, a few minutes ago she thought he was dead. The Professor finally stepped in.
"Alright Kitty, why don't you go get yourself something to eat while Hank and I checkup on Logan"
Kitty took the hint and left the room.
"Logan, are you feeling much pain?"
"Yeah Chuck, but it's eased up a bit now"
"Hank gave you something while you were unconscious to help with the pain"
Logan just looked at him.
"I'll go help Kitty make something to eat so Hank can check up on your injuries"
As the Professor left the room Hank re-entered with some medical equipment.
Hank walked towards Logan and gently put pressure on his ribs. He saw Logan wince and grunt at the sign of pressure and stopped.
"I'm sorry Logan, did that hurt?"
"Uh..Yeah a little"
"Alright Logan, I'm just going to wrap up your chest and give you some medication and then you can rest more"
"Hey Doc, ya know I think my healin' factor's busted."
Beast just grinned and began injecting the syringe in Logan's shoulder. He flinched a little at the needle and then closed his eyes.
"Your healing factor will be back up to speed in time if this medication does it's job"
Logan didn't reply but instead gave out a long sigh.
"Alright Logan, rest for a while and I'll be back to check on you in a few hours."
Beast started his way toward the door.
"Thanks Hank"
Beast just turned and smiled after making his way into the hall.
Back in the kitchen Kitty sat with Professor Xavier asking him questions on Logan's condition. Prof. X made sure he told her how good a job she had done taking care of Logan. Kitty just looked back at the Professor with saddened eyes.
"Can I stay in the medlab with Logan tonight?"
"Of course Kitty, I'm sure he'll enjoy the company"
"I'll go get some things to try and cheer him up."
Kitty got up from the table and skipped off to her room to gather some things. She got her things for the night and snuck into Scotts room to get a motorcycle magazine for Logan. Satisfied with her find, she went back to the medlab. When she reached the room and peered inside Logan was already fast asleep. It was pretty late and Kitty decided she'd go to sleep now too. She set the magazine for Logan on the nightstand and got into bed.
