The ride back to the institute was quick and quiet. Hank had met Scott in the park and had carried Jean back to the car, as Scott was not able to. Scott sat in the back with Jean, trying to make her comfortable, but didn't really know how because she was unconscious.

"Why did you guys go out running so far without taking a break Scott?" Hank asked.

"I tried to get her to stop, but she just wouldn't. she said she needed to clear her head. I know she needs to clear her head, but I never thought she wouldn't stop if she was tired." Scott replied tiredly.

"Has she been eating?"

"I made her a sandwich earlier, but I don't know if she ate it."

"You didn't see if she was eating it?"

"I came into her room when she was in the shower, and when she came out to get dressed, she took some clothes and her sandwich back into the bathroom. When she came back out, her plate was empty, and she asked if I wanted to go for a walk with her. I never thought about her not eating until right now."

"My guess is, is that she didn't eat the sandwich, and just threw it out."

"I think your right." Scott replied quietly, closing his eyes and resting his head on the back of the seat.

"Scott? Don't fall asleep. We need to get you rehydrated. Scott!?"

Seeing that Scott was falling asleep from lack of water and probably from exhaustion, Hank sped up.

"Almost there. Almost there." he said to no one in particular.

Upon arriving back at the mansion, Hank quickly got out of the car and went around to the side that Scott was on, trying to wake him up. Logan and the professor came out of the house, and went to open up the side of the car Jean was on.

"Hank, what happened to Scott?" the professor asked.

"He fell asleep and I can't wake him. It looks like they haven't had a lot to drink, and by the way Scott says Jean was running, they went pretty fast without many breaks. He tried to get Jean to stop and drink, but she was refusing until he pretty much begged her to."

"Let's get them inside before the other kids see them Charles." Logan said as he lifted up Jean.

"Yes. Let's." said the professor.
