Logan tried to hold Kurt down on the bed as he convulsed. "What the heck is going on?" he growled.
The door burst open, and a green-furred girl was up on the bed, keeping Kurt from thrashing around. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this, she thought grimly, not bothering to shield. Portal! Healer! Amp! She sent an image of the room.
"Who are you calling?" asked Jean tensely.
They'll help.
Before anyone could ask her what she meant, a shimmering circle opened in the air. A blonde girl stepped through it, closely followed by an Asian woman and a dark-haired boy.
"Woah! What happened to Imp?" asked the boy, eyes wide. Monster ignored him, looking to the other arrivals. The girl came over and took Kurt's hand, and the woman pressed her hands against the girl's shoulders.
Logan shifted his position threateningly.
Healer is able to help most people, and Amp makes other mutant's powers stronger. Between them, they should be able to heal Kurt, Monster told everyone quickly. Logan looked suspicious, but held back.
Healer's eyes turned white, and started to glow. Kurt began to calm down, until he was lying peacefully. Finally, Healer dropped his hand. "Sorry," she gasped. "I can't do any more for now."
"You've done plenty," breathed Ororo, studying the readouts of the machines that were still attached to Kurt. "From what I can see, he'll be able to heal the rest of the way for himself."
Monster gave a half-smile. "Healer does a good job," she said simply, watching the blonde closely.
"Thank you, Milady," smiled Healer.
"Milady?" asked Logan, raising an eyebrow.
"Milady Monster. That's her name," the boy told him. Monster rolled her eyes.
Will he be able to heal the rest of the way on his own? she asked Healer.
Healer nodded, slightly reluctantly.
Great. That means that we can leave. She paused, and looked faintly embarrassed. After I fetch the annoying valley girl's CD.
"What annoying valley girl?" asked the boy, looking interested.
The one who's stood outside the door, watching us. Next to the Goth.
The boy looked, and grinned at them. "Hi! Why does she have to fetch your CD?"
Healer looked resigned, and the woman shook her head. "Port, will you never learn to guard your tongue?"
"Nope," he grinned cheerfully. Monster ignored them all, climbing out of the window. She made her way to a small alcove, which was invisible unless you were almost on top of it, and pulled a CD case out of it.
"Purely as a matter of interest," she began in a silky voice as she climbed back into the room with it in hand, "What in the Seven Universes possessed you to call a Cher CD cool?"
Port rolled his eyes, and muttered just loud enough for Logan and Scott to hear, "Let me guess. Imp likes this girl."
