Chapter 9
Professor Xavier was afraid that Rogue was dead, but he wasn't going to let Logan know that. For if he did knew, Logan would never come out of his coma. And he needed him to help find Rogue, if she was still alive. Plus he wasn't going to let another team member die.
"Logan tell me what happened."
"Your in here, look around you'll see. Leave me alone," Logan sat back down.
With that Professor Xavier walked away. He was watching the events that took place days before - it was like watching a movie. He saw how Rogue was able to finally touch Logan, telling him how Beast had helped her. How they made passionate love, Professor Xavier closed his eyes to that - that was private, not for his eyes. He watched how Rogue had woken and Logan smelled that she was different but didn't catch it in time. How she was taken over by Magneto, Sabretooth, Quicksilver and Wolverine himself. How she looked when she was attacking him, how it wasn't her. How Magneto egged Logan on by making Marie blade her own throat, the first cut was the deepest. How Wolverine took over and pinned Rogue by the throat and chest against the wall and hung her there for a minute. How Sabretooth mulled him once he released her. How she touched him one last time. How he saw the blood from her wounds pouring out, that she wasn't healing herself. Professor Xavier saw it all, even though he told the others that she was dead, he really was fighting that feeling and the odds. But after seeing how Wolverine had wounded her, and how for what ever reason she wasn't healing herself. Doubts again came to mind. Professor Xavier as he went back to Logan.
"Now that you have what you're looking for, LEAVE," Logan told him.
"I can't leave here without you. I need you to come back with me," Charles told him
Logan once again shot up and drew a single claw to him.
"What part of leave didn't you understand?" he shouted at him
"I need your help with Rogue."
"She's alive?" the concern in his eyes was overwhelming. As Logan retracted his claw.
"I need you to come back now, your body has healed itself," Charles avoided answering that question.
"I can't, I'm the reason why she did what she did. I can't be doing this again to her," Logan dropped his body back down.
"Logan you don't understand. Your her whole world. You didn't do anything to her, her mutation is not your fault, it's not any bodies. Remember, I saw what you showed me. Rogue was the happiest when she's was and is with you. I'll see you, wake in a while," and with that Professor Xavier left.
The group couldn't believe how long he was gone. He told them what had happened and that he had to lie to Logan to get him back.
A few hours later, and lots of pondering Logan finally woke up. Coming to the conclusion that no matter what had happened or what in the future might happen he needed Marie with him - one way or another.
