Logan opened his eyes and when he looked at Rita she was gone! He stood up and ran downstairs and saw Ororo walking through the kitchen. "Ororo, where's Rita?" Logan asked, frantic.
"Charles took her to the Infirmary." Ororo said as Logan ran to the infirmary and saw Rita lying on one of the metal beds, her eyes still closed as Charles sat next to her.
"Charles what's wrong? Why did you move her?" Logan asked as he stood next to the metal bed.
"While you were sleeping I checked in on Rita, she slipped in a coma about an hour ago. So I had to bring her here. I'm sorry about what happened to her." Charles explained to Logan.
Logan sat on the side of the bed and held Rita's hand. He looked at her still body and sighed knowing it would be a while before she woke up.
"Logan, I'll stay here why don't you get something to eat? It's what Rita would want and you need to keep your strength up, the Brotherhood could attack any day, they always try to beat us." Charles calmly said.
"Ok Chuck. I'll be right back though, and don't move her this time." Logan said walking out of the infirmary and to the kitchen. He heated up the steak from yesterday that he never ate and took it back to the infirmary to eat. As Logan ate he never took his eyes off of Rita.
Then he heard a loud noise and could hear the alarm going off. "Someone broke in" Logan said to himself and silently listened for any noise in case someone came to the infirmary. Just then Sabretooth came crashing through the wall and looked at Logan.
Logan's claws came out and he walked in front of Rita, ready to strike. Sabretooth came closer and Logan slashed him across the chest with the claws. Then Sabretooth picked Logan up and threw him across the room, slamming him into a wall.
Magneto floated in as Logan continued battle with Sabretooth. Magneto looked around and saw Rita; he walked to the metal table and picked her up. Then Magneto put a large hole in the wall and floated out with Rita. Sabretooth watched Magneto leave and followed him, the mission was complete. Mystic came running into the room and out the hole, following Sabretooth and Magneto.
Logan watched as Magneto took Rita away and sprinted out the hole, but much to his dismay they were gone and so was Rita. The X-Men came running into the infirmary and noticed Rita was missing. Charles looked at Logan. "Logan I'm sorry, you as well as everyone else know Rita was strong and could be of good use if Magneto got his hands on her which he did."
"Magneto will pay for this, I'll kill him the next time I see him." Logan said walking off to his room.

Magneto arrived on Asteroid M holding Rita. He put her down on one of the many metal tables and turned to Mystic and Sabretooth. "You two will keep watch over her, if she shows any sign of waking up tell me immediately." Magneto told the two.
"You got first watch" Sabretooth said as he walked off, leaving Mystic by herself with Rita.
Just then toad hoped in, followed quickly by Pietro. "Ah man, why did my dad have to bring her?" Pietro said more to himself. "I see her around school all the time she has a major attitude problem."
"I think she's cute yo." Toad said as he caught a fly with his tongue and ate it.
"You think everyone is cute Toad." Pietro said to the green skinned boy.
"I know, but she's cuter then everyone else I've seen." Toad said hoping out of the room.
"So Mystic, you got first watch over the girl?" Pietro asked as Mystic glared at him.
"Get out boy! Just because your father is Magneto doesn't mean you can hang around me." Mystic yelled at Pietro.
Pietro left in a matter of seconds as Mystic sat down and watched Rita. After a few hours Magneto walked in. "has she done anything yet?" Magneto asked.
"No, but I think she may be coming out of her coma." Mystic answered.
"Good, that's good." Magneto said as he slipped an electronic collar on Rita's neck. "This takes away her powers so when she wakes up she won't be able to use her powers to escape."
With that Magneto took his leave and went to his laboratory. Nobody knew what he did or kept down there because no one was allowed in there. One day Pietro tried to run down there without his dad knowing but he got grounded very quickly.

Logan stayed up all night, not sleeping just pacing back and forth in his room. He couldn't get his mind off the fact that he had let Magneto take her. You didn't let Magneto take her. Logan sighed mentally arguing with himself. "How could I let him take her? It wasn't my fault, if Sabretooth hadn't had come along." Logan continued on like this for about a half hour.
"Logan, do you really think it's your fault? We didn't know anything like that would happen." Logan heard Charles's voice inside his head.
"Give it up Chuck, you can't convince me that nothing was my fault the way you can the other kids." Logan said to thin air, knowing that Charles was listening to every word he said or thought.
"I'm sorry everything had to happen like this. But nothing was your fault Logan you protected Rita the only way you know how to. You protected her when she got in a fight at school and you protected her from Sabretooth. There was no way you could have protected her from both Sabretooth and Magneto, I can't even do that. Don't beat yourself up over it." Charles said to Logan through his mind.
"Ok Chuck, I hear you but I can't believe you. I blame myself now just drop it and get out of my mind please." Logan said as Charles left his mind.
Logan lay down on his bed and tried to fall asleep. He fell asleep very fast but had the same old dream that plagued his sleep for the past few days.

Logan awoke in a cold sweat and looked around his room. He sighed knowing that Rita wasn't going to be in his room or in her room. Logan sat up and put on a pair of jeans and a shirt and walked downstairs as he saw Scott, Jean and Kurt sitting in the rec room watching T.V.
"What day is it?" Logan asked after losing all track of time from watching over Rita.
"Its Sunday Logan." Kurt replied as she turned back to watching Tommy Boy with Scott and Jean.
"Thanks elf." Logan said as he walked into the kitchen and took out a mug, pouring coffee into it. Logan sat at the dining room table and drank his coffee, thinking about the day before. When Logan was finished with his coffee he put the mug in the sink and walked back up to his room, locking the door.
For the next day Logan never came out his room, he just stayed locked in his room.

Sabretooth watched the clock, waiting for the time when his shift was over and Mystic would have to come watch Rita. Rita hadn't moved or made any signs of waking up the whole night. Every once in a while Magneto would come and look in on Rita but nothing ever changed.
For another day Rita didn't move. She never woke and never did anything. Sabretooth and Mystic had taken shifts all day and it was always the same. Sitting in the same chair watching the girl who wouldn't wake. Nothing ever changed and everyone thought that she would die in her coma except for Magneto. He thought that she would wake and was sure of it. But so far, nothing had happened.
