REVIEWS:
POLGARA-5: Glad you like the last chapter.

X-OVERSLAY: I might write about Angel's return, but they won't be getting back together. Sorry, I was never a Buffy/Angel fan.

DOC: It's not you. I enjoy odd cliffhangers. I like to leave my readers wanting more.

CRIKET: I'm glad you like my story and right now I am leaning toward Buffy/Logan getting together.

JAMINJELLYBEAN: It's probably going to be Buffy/Logan together. Though you got me thinking about Buffy/Gambit.

LUIS & ROXIE: Thanks for the reviews.

ALLYCAT23:No coma for Buffy though I thought about it. Well I wouldn't want my biggest fan to die from wandering. As for what she's going to about Joyce and the Sunnydale gang you'll just have to wait and see.

S.M.:Don't fear. I think I am done slaying the slayer. Though I make no guarantees.

Buffy was fighting to open her eyes. Her eyelids felt like they were being held down by weights. She could feel someone holding her hand and stroking her hair. Her ears registered that someone was talking to her. It sounded like Giles. His voice sounded so sad and scared.

"You've got so many people worried about you Buffy. Your cousins, the X-men, your mother, your friends, and me we all need you Buffy. Your cousin Scott told me why he calls you Kiwi."

Giles thought it was cute that when Buffy was younger she wouldn't use any shampoo unless it smelled like kiwi. Scott had also told Giles how Buffy would eat kiwi with everything.

"Please come back to us."

"I'm sorry."

Giles barely heard Buffy speak. He looked down to see that her eyes were just barely open.

"Buffy?" Her eyes closed once again before opening a bit wider.

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me Giles?"

"There's nothing to forgive Buffy. What happened was not your fault. You must believe me." Her eyes avoided his. She couldn't look at him.

"I killed Jenny." Once again her voice was barely above a whisper.

"Look at me Buffy!" Reluctantly her eyes slowly met his. "Angelus killed Jenny. Not you."

"No. If I had staked him when I had the chance…if I hadn't slept…"

"Buffy you couldn't know what would happen when you slept with Angel. Angel should have known the consequences. He should have researched it. You are not to blame."

Tears began to run down her cheek and she buried her face in her hands. Deep heavy sobs wracked her still aching body. Giles sat on the bed and put his arms around Buffy to comfort her. She turned into his embrace and cried herself to sleep.

The next time she awoke Giles was gone. Scott and Alex were sitting by her bed talking.

"Hey Kiwi. How do you feel?" Scott asked her.

"Weak and a little weird. Giles?"

"Resting. Hank slipped him a sedative so that he would get a full eight hours of restful sleep." Alex told her.

"What happened?"

"You've been very sick Kiwi. Beast said that Sinister planted a small nano device in your body. It was wreaking havoc with your system."

She looked at Alex. He brushed a strand of hair out of face.

"I wanted to say thank you for saving my life twice."

Buffy was confused. The past two weeks were a blur. She only had a few images. Scott and Alex saw her look.

"You freed Alex from Sinister's mind control. That's something that no one from the X-men has been able do. He took one look at what Sinister had done to you and the control was broken. You also lifted that metal beam off of him."

"I remember now, but it was Alex who saved me from the death blow Sabertooth was about to give me. So I guess I owe you a thanks too."

"You're incredible you know that." Scott told her.

"Well she is a Summers." A deep voice said from the doorway.

"Uncle Chris! What are you doing here?"

"I came to see my sons and my favorite niece. How are you doing Buffy?"

He asked as he came up to the bed and gave Buffy a gentle hug. He took a seat on the bed afterwards.

"Weak and a little weird. My eyes and fingers feel really tingly."

No sooner had she said that than her hands and eyes let out a red laser blast. It hit the wall leaving a smoking, smoldering, hole. Buffy fell back to her pillow feeling more exhausted than ever. The house alarms were going off at the discharge of unknown power within. Scott called to Cerebo and cancelled the alarm. Two seconds after the alarm stopped the hospital wing doors opened admitting four X-men. Remy, Hank, Logan, and Jubilee looked around for whoever was attacking them. They noticed the smoking hole.

"False alarm guys." Scott told them.

"What happened?" Logan asked while the others got closer look at the wall.

"We're not sure yet. Hank, didn't you say that Buffy showed no sign of the X-gene?"

"Yes. Why do you ask Fearless leader?"

"That hole you're looking at was made by Buffy."

"My eyes and hands felt really tingly. The next thing I know I got red beams like Scott's shooting out of my eyes and hands."

"Fascinating. I'll need to run some more test." Hank said as he came over and began taking her pulse. "I want everyone out. She needs her rest. You can all come back and in a few hours."

Remy and Jubilee left saying they would be back to see her later. Buffy waved bye to them as she was already beginning to fall back asleep. Corsair/Uncle Chris moved a stray hair from her face.

"We'll talk later."

She nodded and gave her a kiss on the cheek. Scott and Alex both followed suit and left needing to talk to their father. Logan was about to leave when he heard her speak softly.

"Stay with me?"

At first he thought that she was mumbling in her sleep, but he could hear her heart beating normally.

"Stay, please!"

"I'm not going anywhere." He said as he took the chair by the bed.

"Promise?"

"Promise. Now get some rest." She gave him a smile, and then took a hold of his hand before she closed her eyes.

Logan had kept his promise and stayed with Buffy. Even in the flimsy hospital gown she was wearing Logan thought she looked beautiful. He held her small hand enjoying the soft feel of it. He watched her sleep noticing for once she looked at peace. She had been asleep for three hours when she woke abruptly. Her eyes were still closed.

"Logan?" Her voice sounded stronger.

"How ya feeling darlin?"

"You better get me somewhere where I won't cause too much damage. I'm feeling real tingly."

"Just hold on. I'll get you somewhere."

Wolverine picked her up glad that Hank had removed the IV earlier that day. Buffy loved the feel of Logan's strong arms carrying her as he ran through the corridors.

"I don't know if I can hold it much longer Logan. The tingling is getting so strong that it's driving me crazy."

"Logan? Where are you going with Buffy?" Beast said interrupting the conversation he was having with Giles about slayers. They had been on their way to the med lab.

"No time to talk. You and Rupert might want to see this. We're almost to the Danger Room."

The Danger room was in use but Logan didn't care Buffy was beginning to tremble. Gambit and Storm were in the Danger room training while Rogue monitored above. They looked up startled when Logan entered carrying Buffy followed by Hank and Giles. Logan set her down and faced her away from Gambit and Storm. Logan stepped back as Buffy opened her eyes and lifted her arms. Just as before two red blasts came out of her only stronger.

"Oh my stars and garters!"

Beast exclaimed when the blast hit one the Danger Room wall. After five seconds she began to sway when the beams stopped. Logan caught her before she could hit the floor. Rogue ended the simulation.

"Feeling better?"

She nodded yes. "Thanks. What's happening to me?"

"I don't know Darlin? Hank? Rupert? Any ideas?"

"Rupert and I have been discussing the matter. I won't know more till I run some test."

Once again Hank began checking her pulse and other vitals. Gambit and Storm joined the group.

"You're looking better Chere? More color in your face."

"Well, I feel better, and stronger than I have in a while."

"If you feel up to it Buffy I'd like to run a few test right now."

"Sure Doc. What do you want me to do?"

Buffy had told Beast that calling him Hank reminded her too much of her father who was never around.

"I want you to try to route your power just through your eyes."

Buffy nodded and tried to get the power to come out her eyes but nothing happened. She calmed herself like she did when she wanted to tune her senses. She could feel the power and the familiar tingle that went with it. Two beams shot out of her eyes forming one red beam that hit the wall.

"Extraordinary. Are you still feeling satisfactory? Good. Once I get done taking your pulse I want you to try it again only this time with your hands."

She nodded and was again tried to just make come out her hands. When nothing happened she calmed herself and a beam came out of each hand. Once again Beast and the others were amazed. He came over and took her pulse, which was normal before telling her what he wanted her to do next.

"You're doing excellent. One more test before we return you to your hospital bed. I want you to try and use both your eyes and hands together."

"Alright."

This time Buffy went straight for calming herself. She lifted her head and arms as the beams shot out and hit the wall. Two seconds later she stopped and felt dizzy again. She began to fall but felt Logan's strong arms catching her. He lifted her off her feet and she rested her head on his shoulder.

"I'm just a little dizzy."

"My friend you are looking slightly pale." Ororo told her.

"What's wrong with her Monsieur le Bete?"

"I won't be able to make a complete conclusion until I've run some more test. Logan, would you be so kind as to take her back to her hospital bed?"

"No." Everyone looked as the small in Logan's arm. "I want to go back to my room. I'm feeling a lot better. You took the IV out, and my injuries are almost completely healed. Please!"

Her face got the sad puppy dog look. She knew it was hard for any man to resist.

"All right but you must be in the Med lab at nine sharp." She nodded her head and Logan turned to take to her room.

"I can walk you know."

He could tell that she really didn't want him to put her down. Especially when she shifted so she could snuggle closer to him. So he played along.

"Well if that's what you really want I can put you down."

"Don't you dare!"
