grrrr Jean's words were in a very little font, and here I can't put it like I wanted :-(


The night was short for the establishment adults' who looked after Jean each at their turn. The Professor was at her side as soon as he arrived at the Institute; to seeing her so pale, and knowing what had conducted her at the med-bay was breaking his heart.

- "We should've suspected it, we should've expected it" made Wolverine by shaking his head.

- "We were wrong Logan, she made us see what we wanted to believe, she let us suppose by her behaviour that she had decided to fight, to grapple with the life, but she didn't really mean to live anymore" answered the Professor, a hand on the young woman's one "Rejecting us was a way to get away because it made us hate her, and like that to break off more easily from us…I have thought a lot about it during the flight" he added in front of the perplexed looks of Logan and Ororo.

Hank, made his appearance, exchanged some words with the Professor Xavier and checked Jean's vitals-functions who he had placed on a drip once the transfusion ended, letting to her the oxygen spectacles (this rubber tubing which passes in front of the nose and behind the ears) for helping her to breath.

- "So ?" they asked, waiting for the doctor's verdict.

- "She's stable, but she's weak"

The Professor sighed and spoke to Jean in a soft and paternal voice:

- "Jean, I know you have nothing to be fastened to anymore and that it's selfish from us to ask you that, but I beg you, hang on… I…I don't want to lose another one of my children…"


Around 8.45 a.m, Hank was assuring the young woman surveillance and had sent his friends to take a rest some hours ago. At some stage, some slight movements attracted his attention and he came closer of his patient to whom he spoke in a soft voice:

- "Jean ? yes that's right, come back, open your eyes Jean"

The mutant needed several minutes to do what he was asking her and kept her eyes relatively shut so that she was feeling emptied. Judging by the heart monitor sound's, she was in the med-bay, but what was she doing here ? Why wasn't she with Scott ?

She saw Beast giving her a welcoming smile before he declared:

- "You gave us such a fright Jean ; You've been lucky, you've nearly died but we've been able to reanimate you on time and…"

- "…why… ? " she faintly articulated in a barely audible sound.

Hank realised what he had just said:

- "Oh…that's true…Listen Jean, I know you wanted to die –and you'd have succeeded it if they hadn't found you – but what did you want them to do ? that they sat down and patiently watch you emptying of your blood and sigh your last breath ??" he asked without hardness in his voice.

- "…I…I haven't…asked them…to search me …"

- "But they did it Jean, they did it because they were worried for you"

Jean closed her eyes some instants, she was feeling like wavering, as if her vigilance was perpetually flickering.

- "…my chest is…hurting me …why ?"

- "That's the electric-shocks and the intramyocardial injection of epinephrine" answered Hank, making her understand on the same occasion how close of the death she had been "You'll stay weakened during one or two days, you've lost a lot of blood and – to answer the question you may be asking you– yes we've been confronted by the problem caused by the fact you had drained your blood-packs, but you should've known I'd immediately thought at the person who had the same blood group than you…"

- "…Scott…"

- "Yes, Scott; henceforth his blood runs in your veins…"

Jean didn't answer at this remark, she knew she should've done the same with Scott's blood packs, but she hadn't been able to resolve herself to do it, she hadn't been able to.

She was feeling herself sinking again into the unconsciousness but achieved to articulate some words in addition:

- "…I'll…rejoin him…"

Hank observed sadly his friend and check if she was staying stable despite her faint, before taking her at her last words. He moved the young woman in one of the infirmary-rooms where he proceeded to some modify some things.


One hour later, Logan, Charles and Ororo were waiting at the room exit where Hank had transferred Jean. Seeing them, Beast went to meet them and at the mutant's look, the three others knew that the news weren't bad, at least for the medical side.

- "She briefly woke up one hour before, but has sunk back into unconsciousness after having shared some barely audible words" he informed them.

- "How is she ?" asked Storm.

- "Unhappy to be alive…"

You liked it ? so let me know it by reviewing please :-), the more I get the faster I post…
