"It seems impossible for either one to live." Jean Grey said quietly.
"It all seems impossible, Jean." Replied Cyclops. "Them being joined together, for even just a few seconds is just wild."
"Rogue might be able to over come it with all her strength and all Shadowcat's strength. But, Gambit…" Beast commented in a whisper.
"Rogue obviously can't control her new power." Jean added
The three of them stood watching Rogue's body in the dim lighted room. It had been a quiet evening, and the manor seemed peaceful. The infirmary was silent, yet a heart-breaking scene.
The next morning brought some rain showers and a bustle of activity. Everyone had to get ready for a very important arrival. Jean couldn't perform all the operations needed to help Gambit, the most she could do now was keep him on the edge of life. So, the Professor took it upon himself to call a better doctor, and a mutant himself. He called on an old time friend, Dr. Edward Lawrence.
It was about seven o'clock when the doctor arrived. He walked with a cane which didn't seem to help his limp at all. He was hurried into the infirmary and introduced to Jean.
"These two were joined together, for about twelve seconds." Jean said standing in front of Rogue and Gambit.
"Joined together, what do you mean when you say that?" The doctor said raising an eyebrow.
"Well, by an ability accident, she entered his stomach and was stuck for about twelve seconds, like I said. But, Rogue here has a better chance of surviving because she was using someone else's strength as well as her own."
The doctor rested his cane on the side of Gambit's bed and opened a small bag on his lap. Jean stood beside the doctor and watched over his shoulder. Wolverine also peeked inside the bag from a distance, but neither of them saw anything in the doctor's bag.
Wolverine grinned as he walked to the door "Hey doc, forget somethin'."
Dr. Lawrence ignored Wolverine's comment and reached into his empty bag. As his hand came back from the pouch it revealed a purplish energy ball. Wolverine lost any smirk he had, and looked back over his shoulder. The doctor took the ball and smeared it over Gambit's wounds. Then, he sat and waited.
