Disclaimer: Same as the chapter before. Author's Note/Blab: Hey, Stormfan. Yikes! Well, I knew this was going to happen, but yeah, I thought some people might not like Ororo looking exasperated at not knowing how to read French. (We all like independent and intellectually strong women don't we? That's one reason I like Storm so much.) Don't worry, it's a continue evolving story. Just to say that, I love reading all the reviews, good, bad, and the awful, I don't mind. This is my first try at fanfic, especially X-Men, so hopefully everybody enjoyed it. It's the greatest compliment I could receive. Thanks y'all! Now, continue on with Swept Away...





"Tempest"



Frozen in shock. Ororo couldn't believed what Logan just did and was beside herself with concern when she couldn't see Logan anymore through the glass windows.

*Goddess! Where's Logan!? I must go out to see if he's alright. Maybe I could stop this typhoon myself.* A worried Ororo thought wildly.

*No. Even if Logan is in serious danger, I must save him without tampering with Mother Nature.*

Ororo quickly ran out of the restaurant in spite of the captain's warning of the danger on the decks. Some of the people in the Amor yelled at her to stop. Ororo refusing any warnings, tugged to open the door leading to the decks, the moment she stepped through the threshold, the heavy glass door slammed shut behind her.

*It's now or never!* After stepping down the last few steps of the stairs leading up to the Amor, Ororo's blue eyes hastily scanned around the area, her hands grasping on the rail to keep from slipping on to the deck.

"SOMEBODY HELP! HELP!" Running and skidding towards Ororo was the same young woman that Logan was saving.

"That man! He-e tried to save me, but he slid and fell over the ship! I couldn't see him in the waters...please go find him!" The woman's words struck Ororo with terror. She quickly led the woman up the stairs to the restaurant and told her to stay there while she searches for Logan.

Groping for the railings, Ororo alas reached the side of the ship and looked down into the mass of black water swirling in heavy waves slashing against the large cruise ship.

Logan was nowhere to be found!

*Where are you Logan?!?! Please, just try to stay above the waters!*

As the sudden thought of the sea, Ororo remembered that with Logan's heavy adamantium frame, he couldn't survive much longer in the waters. This horrifying thought left all her conscious reasoning's behind. Even if she's to risk her life to save him, she realized she would do it in an instant. The thought of losing Logan was enough to break her.

Not thinking about her safety, Ororo knew what she had to do.

With deliberate speed and agility, Ororo flipped over the rails and plunge into the sea.
