Please, remember that I'm French so I had to translate the whole fic before making correct it (thanks to ET and Double27) and mistakes always goes through.
Thanks for the ones who have reviewed : Slicky,Aimtbj, Lexan and Tori H !!

Lexan: oh no no no, reviews come a lot when I wait a little Muahahahahaha
Tori H: this ending is even worst Muahahahahaha
Remember, the more reviews I get, the sooner I want to post :-)
- "So ?" asked Storm, ignoring the tragedy which had just happened.
- "We've searched everywhere !" made Bobby and Rogue.
- "But for cryin' out loud, where on earth cans she be ??" began to become irritable Logan.
- "Well, maybe we should return to the Institute, after all, she could very well have hidden from the cameras" suggested Iceman.
- "No, I've well verified" confirmed Storm "She's outside, somewhere, and this begins to worry me"
A silence settled itself, each one of them thinking of a place still unexplored.
- "Have ya been to Professor Summers' memorial ?" asked Rogue.
- "No, she hasn't gone here again since almost one and a half months and has a tendency to avoid the place" made Ororo " I've even purposed to her to go with her but unsuccessfully, she said he wasn't really there"
- "We haven't a lot of options in any case, it's the only place we haven't checked" made noticed Logan.
All of them agreed on this point and went in the memorial's direction, each one of them thinking of Jean's reaction when she'd see them arrive, knowing they'd without any doubt been attacked.
When they were at about thirty meters from the memorial, Logan stopped suddenly and sniffed the air.
- "What is it?" asked Ororo.
- "Blood, I smell the odour of blood" he made before sniffing again "It's strong and…and I smell Jean' scent too !"
- "Oh no…you think that…?" Storm stammered.
Nobody waited for an answer because all of them began to run, covering quickly the distance separating them from the memorial.
- "She's here !!" cried out Rogue by catching a glimpse of a shape laid at the monument feet.
- "Stay here !" ordered Logan, not wanting the young mutants to see the scene too close if it was yet too late.
He and Storm kept on running and were near her in a few seconds.
- "Jean ? Oh my god there is blood everywhere !! Jean !!" panicked the Weather Witch..
Logan, more in self-control, had soon found the origin of the haemorrhage.
- "For Christ'sake, she'd slashed her wrists !"
Ororo, still in shock, had raised her hand at her mouth, but resumed soon to speak to her friend.
- "Jean ? Do you hear me ? Jean ?" she tried, but it was a waste of effort, the young woman had already sunk into the deepest unconsciousness.
Disobeying Wolverine's orders, Bobby and Rogue had come closer.
- "Oh my god…"
- "She's alive" made Logan "But her pulse is weak and we've to hurry"
- "Jean ?" insisted Ororo "She completely frozen" she made before taking off her coat and covering the young woman whose clothes had turned scarlet red.
- "The most important is to stop the haemorrhage" declared Logan, taking off his jacket at his turn, tearing it to shreds thank to his claws "Bobby!" he made by sending a bit of it at the young mutant.
Iceman came out of his torpor and, understanding where Logan was driving at, used it to apply pressure over the wound of the right wrist as Wolverine was doing the same on the left-side. Immediately after, he took the young woman in his arms by wrapping her the best possible in Storm's coat and all of them hastened to return to the Institute.
Entering, they came across Shadowcat having probably gotten up to eat something. At the sight of Jean, whose bloodstained body seemed to be lifeless, pale, her arms and head falling down behind, the adolescent came to a standstill and, opening her eyes wide, stammered :
- "Doctor Grey…?"
- "Don't stay still here Kitty ! Go warn doctor McCoy, hurry up !" made Rogue.
- "Immediately !"
The mutant disappeared through a wall as the little group was hastening to the med-bay, spreading drops of blood on their way, before ending by laying Jean on one of the examination tables.
- "Rogue, do you remember the first-aid sessions Jean gave to you and the others students ?" asked Ororo "Well, it's the time to put it into practise, we've to encourage her to breathe."
Rogue, understanding where she was driving at, caught the necessary and placed the oxygen mask on the young woman's face, happy to be able to help despite the danger of her mutation in such a situation.
Storm, on her side, kept on giving her instructions:
- "Logan, help me to take her soaked clothes off; Bobby, catch an electric blanket, we've to raise her corporal temperature."
Iceman nodded and hastened to go and fetch what was asked to him.
- "What happened ?" asked Hank in an alarmed voice as he was entering quickly in the infirmary, slipping on his gown with one hand.
- "She'd slashed her wrists, we've just found her at Scott's memorial" answered Logan by covering the bloodstained young woman with the blanket, which Bobby tuned at the temperature required.
- "Oh man…" released Beast by coming closer for beginning to sound the telepath "Jean ? Do you hear me ?… how long has she been like this?" he asked by checking her pupils with a little lamp.
- "We don't know"
- "Do you know if she has taken any drugs ?" asked Hank by raising Jean's legs to allow the blood to flow more easily toward the vital-organs, congratulating the group for their first-aids.
- "We haven't got a clue, well, we've seen nothing, and I haven't smelt anything of this kind" answered a Logan whom only the adrenalin was helping him not to sink into the whole panic, him who loved Jean as his own daughter.
- "Ok"
Hank placed hastily some captors on the young woman's chest –the fingers tips weren't reliable given the circumstances– to put her under monitoring and took her blood pressure as a weak heart beat sound was filling up the room.
- "Her blood pressure is too low, she has lost a lot of blood" declared Hank "Logan, go in the cold-store and bring me two units of her blood"
Wolverine didn't argue, it was the first time he could really see the usefulness of the giving of blood that each resident was invited to do regularly in the year. In the corridor, he passed some students having got hang of the events and who opened wide their eyes seeing his clothes recovered by blood here and there. Logan didn't waste his time and sent them back into their rooms on his way. Having said that, arriving in the space where the blood was conserved, he had a shock and hastened to return to the med-lab:
- "Hank !, she's drained them ! She's destroyed her blood pack! "
- "It wasn't an impulsive act, she had planned everything" realised Ororo" …She doesn't want us to save her…"
- "It's out of question to let her die !" retorted Beast before adding: "If I'm right, I think she hasn't touched Scott's ones and I know he was of the same rare blood group as her, so…" Hank was interrupted by an alarm coming from the heart monitor and opened terrified eyes "Oh no! Her blood pressure is flapping, she'll have a cardiac-arrest !"
Beast dashed toward a drawer for catching a product which might avert the situation, but hadn't had the time to because the strident and regular sound made suddenly itself heard as a flat line was taking form on the monitoring.
- "No !!"
Understanding the situation, Logan took off the electric-blanket and was yet striving to execute a cardiac-massage while Hank was preparing the pallets. Bobby and Rogue had moved back to give the adults room. Time seemed to have suspended in the room…
Evil cliff-hanger again, isn't it ? Will jean die or not ? you'll see….Muahahhahahahahaha
