Ok, ok…sorry the last one was short. I just felt it needed to be separated. To make up for it, I'm posting chapters 6 and 7 tonight. Thanks for the feedback and I hope you like 'em.
Chapter 6: Problems
Bobby slowly opened his eyes, greeted by a headache and a lot of weight on top of him. He ran through what he remembered, and then realized that John was with him. John had tried to shield him!
"John…" Bobby said weakly. "John, you awake?"
But there was no reply, which worried Bobby. John would've taken the brunt of the injuries since he shielded Bobby when the building came down around them. Bobby slowly moved, listening for anything that would cause him alarm. Once he was out from under John, he took a look around. It seemed that the debris had enclosed them, forming almost a small room. He faced John, daring to move him so his friend was lying on his back.
"John," Bobby whispered, examining the injuries to his friend's head. "Why did you do that?"
Bobby took off his X-Men uniform, and also removed his outer shirt. He used the shirt to wipe the dirt and blood from John's wounds, wishing he had a proper medical kit. He checked over his friend's body, not seeing or feeling anything serious, although it looked as if John had a sprained wrist. Using some of the shirt, Bobby made a makeshift wrap to support it, and then froze the piece of shirt. That was partly to make it sturdy, partly to make an ice compress for the injury. He then checked himself over; relieved that he hadn't seemed to have suffered anything more than a bump to the head and a few cuts and bruises. He checked his radio, but realized he didn't have it. He didn't see it anywhere in the near vicinity and he didn't want to risk looking for it. He wasn't sure how stable the debris around him and John was. He sat next to John, putting his friend's hand in his own. Sweeping some hair off John's forehead with his free hand, Bobby just observed John while hoping the rest of the X-Men had made it out safely.
