Ellie dropped the book she was reading. The doorbell chimed its little tune.

" Can someone get that? " She called out. The house was silent.

The doorbell rang again.

" Nevermind I'll do it" She said to herself, getting up off the couch. Her head twinged ever so slightly as she approched the door.

The doorbell rang a third time just as she was opening the door. The twinge was a full on migrane now.

" Oh hello. "

Jean started a greating, surprised to see a new face at the mansion.

" AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Jean rushed to the girls side as she fell to the ground and clawed at her head in agony. Tears flowed

down Ellies face as she screamed.

" Whats going on out here? "

Logan walked out onto the porch.

"Jean......" He stopped in his tracks.

Ellie let out another howl of pain.

" Logan...." Jean was stunned for a moment but somehow recovered " Somethings wrong with her. "

She crouched down at the girls side.

" GET AWAY! GET AWAY FROM ME! " Ellie screamed curling into a little ball.

Logan scopped her up off the deck.

" I'll get her to the med bay. Find Storm "

" NOOO! DON'T TOUCH ME! GET AWAY!"

Wolverine ignored her protest and took her inside the house.

Jean watched Logan take Ellie in through the door and dissapear down the hallway. Her bags sat beside her on the steps. Logan was back.....after all those years. Jean took a deep breath to calm herself. Then she stepped inside the mansion to find Storm.

" Blair I can use some assistance in the sick bay " Ororo said from the other side of his bedroom door. There was a unusual tone of urgency in her voice.

" Fine. " Blair tossed aside his controlled. Grand Theft Auto was going to have to wait. When he arrived at the sick bay he could here Logan and Ororo talking quietly in the other room.

" Another power manifesting? " Logan mummered

" No. Not possible. I do not understand. She has been fine up untill now."

" Her ability's increasing maybe ? " Jean tossed in her opinion

Blair realized they were talking about Ellie and decided to make his entrace.

" Whats happened to Ellie? " He watched her through the glass seperating them. She seemed fine, just laying on the bed. Her chest rose steady with each breathe. Asleep.

" She's suffered some sort of attack. We're not sure what happened yet "

Blair nodded.

" What do you want me to do? "

Jean sighed.

" Sit with her I suppose for now. There's not really much else we can do, except make her comfortable, hope it passes. "

Blair nodded.

" Uh..Storm wouldn't it be better of rone of the girls to sit with her? "

Ororo smiled a bit.

" Maybe Blair. But I think its best for you to do it. Ellie's been through alot you can probley relate too. "

Blair nodded. He felt a slow blush creeping over his face.

" If she wakes up call us. There's nothing else was can do for now. " Jean said turning to leave

" Come on Logan the 3 of us have alot of catching up to do " Ororo said. Logan grunted but follwoed to 2 older woman.

Blair entered the access code and went into the next room. There was already a chair set up by the bed, as well as a water pitcher and some glasses. He poured himself a glass of water. It was errily silent in the room , aside from his and Ellie's breathing.

He sat down and began to drink his water. It seemed wrong for Blair to call Jean if Ellie woke up. Like a violation of Ellie's privacy or something.

He watched the hands on the clock tick away. It moved slowly making its dull repedative noise.

Blair sighed inwardly and settled down for the long haul.

" FOOSBALL!"

Mai sent the foosball flying down the table towards Ryan's goal. Ryan sent it right back to center.

" So Mai you slept in Marco room the other night...night mares? " Ryan mocked Mai, as she took a shot.

Mai rolled her eyes.

" Ellie. Reading me. It was weird ok. Besides nothing happened...Marco's like...Nothing happened." Mai clarifyed. She threw up her hands in defeat " Your the Foosball queen. I quit. "

Ryan sighed.

" Quitter "

Mai grinned half heartedly.

" Damn straight Ryan. Look I'v got to go do some stuff. I'll see you later " She made a quick exit and walked down the hall. She stopped and knocked on the nearest door.

" Come in "

" Hey Rosh. What's up? " Mai stepped inside and closed the door behind her.

Rosh looked up from his magazine.

" Not much. Reading. "

" Oh " Mai sat down on the bed beside him " How's Ellie doing?"

Rosh sat up and shifted away from Mai a bit.

" Still not awake. Blair's down their with her again. "

Mai nodded thoughtfully.

" He's spending alot of time with the little comatose girl "

Rosh put down the magazine.

" You know how he gets......."

" Look I came to talk to you about something "

Balir nodded.

" Whats up. This about Ellie and the team or what? "

" No Rosh "

He looked down to see her hands on his thighs.

" Mai I should tell you......."

She pushed him back onto his bed.

" I want this Rosh........so badly....."

Rosh couldn't help but respond to her carresses.

" I know you want it too......."

Rosh explored her mouth with his tounge. He slid his hand down Mai's bare legs and up her skirt.

" Mai we should stop........"

Mai undid his belt.

" Don't you want this.... mmmmmm I like that....don't you like the way this feels..."

" We can't do this....your a team member....."

" I don't care....mmmmmmmm" Mai moaned "

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

" Rosh? "

"Oh shit " Mai rolled off Rosh and onto the floor.

" JUST A SECOND! " Rosh fixed his pants, and did up his belt.

" what should I do?" Mai mouthed

" Get under the bed " He whispered pointing downwards.

Another knock, louder this time and more angry.

" Just a second!" Rosh checked to make sure Mai was out of sight then he opened his door.

" Logan...........I...was...reading and I didn't hear you..."

Logan rolled his eyes.

"Just lett'in ya know Ellies awake 'bub. Storm's down there and Jean and I are header down now."

" I'll be down in a second...."

Logan leaned against the door frame, and smirked.

" Don't bother. She anit in shape to see the whole team right now. And you seem busy......" Logan glaced at the bed, and started walking away.

Then he turned as added his parting shot.

" You know Rosh I'll speak to you from experience here. Leaders shouldn't fuck team members. Dosn't work out "

He rounded the corner as was gone.

Rosh shut the door and Mai crawled out from under the bed.

" Think he'll tell anyone? " She slid back onto the comfortor.

" No ,He'll just use it against me whenever he can. " He shook his head angrily " You should leave "

Mai smiled slyly.

" What's your hurry? " She bit her lip

" I said get out Mai. " He guestured to the door

Mai snorted angrily and walked to the door.

Then she added

" If you didn't like it why'd your cock get all hard? "

Rosh stood in his room for a while after she left. He shook his head,disgusted with himself. Then he callopsed onto his bed and fell into a fitful sleep.
