Remy and Jubilee had been playing cards until it was half past ten and he had send her to bed by then. Now he was slumbering. With his feet on Logan's med-bed, he was almost laying. He had a great dream when he suddenly woke up by a groan and some movement under his feet. It took some moments to realize it was Logan who was waking up. He stood and watched how Logan opened his eyes slowly.
'Hey, dere big guy…'
'Uhhh…Remy?'
'Yeah that's me. How're y' feelin' ?'
'Feel….sick…think…I…gotta….' He turned on his side and vomited before he could finish the sentence.
'Jeez…Don' worry I get Henri!' Remy rushed to the part of the lab where Hank worked on all kinds of experiments and called the blue furred mutant. 'Henri, it's Logan he's awake an' sick!'
Hank quickly made his way towards Logan and put a hand on his shoulder. 'Don't worry Logan it should be over in a few minutes. Remy, could you please get some cloths to clean this up, and some cool wet cloths for Logan?' Remy got some from a drawer and gave them to Hank, who tried to clean some of the mess. Remy cooled Logan with the others. Like Hank had said, the vomiting stopped after a few minutes and Logan calmed down. He lay down while Hank and Remy cleaned him and the bed.
'So how do you feel now, my friend? Better I hope?' Logan nodded slowly, the effects of the sedative slow but steady worn off.
'Next time y' decide t' do somethin' like that, warn me!' Logan grinned weakly.
'You will probably feel a little bit weak for a while, but beside that you're as fit as a fiddle. I suggest you'll stay in the lab until noon. I will inform the Professor now that you're awake, are there any questions?'
'No…thanks Blue…'
'You're welcome, Logan. Now if you will excuse me.' Hank left the lab to find the Professor.
'Y' sure y' alright?'
'Yeah I am Remy, really.'
'Ok, I promised Jubes an' Stormy t' get them when y' woke up. But before I do that I wanna know somethin'.'
'Go on…'
'Why did y' take the pills?'
'Well, I remember I was tired and I took some ta sleep better, but I can't remember anything that happened after that.' Remy smiled.
'What?'
'I knew y' had only taken them t' sleep better, but the others think y' took them ta kill yerself.'
'Why would they think that?'
'Because y' accidentally took an overdose of some experiment Henri was workin' on… Charles thought yer suicidal thoughts had returned. Didn' know y 'have been suicidal though…' He glanced at Logan carefully to see if this offended him, but he didn't seem to mind.
'Ya know, after Weapon X I was really depressed and…' Logan paused.
'Y' don' have t' tell m' if y' don' want to.'
'It's okay. It's just I haven't told anyone but Chuck about this. But since yer my friend it's ok ta tell ya. So after Weapon X I tried it some times, but the ol' healin'factor kicked in everytime. After that it went well for some time, but when Mariko died the old feeling came back and I tried it again, but as you can see without success.'
'I'm sorry, mon ami, that y' had t' go trough that…'
'Don't. I got over it.' Logan decided to change the subject. 'So an overdose, he? Didn't knew the stuff was that strong, I just took a few ta dose my healingfactor. Poor Hank I ate his experiment…' Logan grinned at Remy, who smiled back.
'Yeah, well that saves him t' find a test subject.'
'Yeah. Hey I don't mind talkin' ta ya, but if Jubes hears I'm awake for about ten minutes now and ya didn't call her she'll skin ya alive…'
'Merde, yer right, I promised t' wake them. Better do that now, ok?'
'Sure.'
'See y' '
'Just go Gumbo, she'll kill ya…' Logan smiled and closed his eyes.
While Gambit woke Jubilee and Storm, Hank and the Professor entered the medlab. Logan opened his eyes slowly when he sensed them. 'Hey Blue, Chuck.'
'Hello Logan, how are you feeling.'
' A lot better, thanks. But I really wanna get outta here. This freakin' lab is driving me nuts.'
'Logan, Henry and I are concerned about you. You've been acting strange lately. Would you please tell us what's going on?'
'There's nothing going on, Chuck.'
'If that was true you wouldn't take medication, we all know you don't go anywhere near a laboratory without a good reason. So tell me why did you take those pills.'
Logan didn't want to lie to Charles, but also didn't want him to get involved. So he decided to tell a half lie. 'I just didn't feel well and I thought that stuff would make me feel better. I didn't know how strong it was, so when I went back ta my room I passed out. Anyway, it's not what ya think it is.' It was the truth, but lacked a lot of details. Charles knew this too.
'Logan please tell me what's wrong, it's the only way we can help you.'
'Just listen Chuck, I'm flattered you're concerned about me and I appreciate that you want to help. But thanks but no thanks. I don't need yer help. So please respect my decision and stay outta it.'
'Logan…'
'No Chuck, thanks. Just let me out.'
'I'm afraid we can't do that .' Hank said. 'The medicine is not yet out of your system.'
'Fuck it. I'm outta here.' Logan brusquely stood up and noticed for the fist time that morning he was attached to a monitor. He stopped abruptly and stared at the wire on his chest. His breaths came faster and he looked slowly at the others. Hank saw the rage burning in his eyes and tried to reason him.
'Logan, calm down. It's just a heart monitor to check your pulse. I assure you it didn't harm you in any way.'
Charles mentally tried to stop Logan from turning feral. He was taken aback by all the images and feelings that flashed through Logan's mind. He couldn't identify all the images, but a few he knew for sure were about the adamantium-experiment. He mentally forced them back and radiated calm thoughts into Logan's mind.
Logan calmed down and drew a deep breath. He pulled the wire out and the wound healed instantly. After that he went away quickly, ignoring Hank and Professor Xavier who were calling after him.
