Well thankfully dudes -my loyal reviewer's that is. My wrist is getting better. Having it strapped up for three day's sure has helped... I can open door's with my right hand again. Yay!

Have you any idea how difficult it is to open doors with your left hand... huh.

Well Transcendental, sorry about the typo - I put it down to my half Kentish, half Devonian accent. lol

And my LadyWolfBane... you'll just have to wait and see.

Muchos Gracias! (I dont speak no spanish,... but I'm pretty sure that is probably mis-spelt)

lol, as I'm writing this, the film of 'The King and I' is on... quite good for an oldie. Oh well, on with the story! MWAH

X - Angel

Chapter 23

"Piper?! You in here?!" Logan yelled.

"Logan?" Came a faint voice, but not of that belonging to Piper.

"Warren? Is that you?!" He shouted, as he momentarily stopped digging.

"Yes! We're caved in!" Came his reply.

"Well I had gathered that..." Logan sighed under his breath. "Hang on! I'm going to get you out!" He shouted back.

"You need a hand?" Came Scott's voice, from further up the tunnel, as himself and Jean arrived.

"Better late than never..." Logan quipped, as he just about managed to make enough room to step inside the doorway.

"Stand back... I'll blast our way through." Cyclop's stated, raising his hand to his Visor.

"No Scott - wait." Jean protested. "If you use your visor to blast away the rock, it might crush Warren and Piper." She explained.

"So what? We keep going by hand?" Logan asked.

"Just hang on a minute." Jean said closing her eyes, and started to communicate with Warren. "Okay..." She sighed, raising her head a second later. "Go for it."

"Your sure?" Logan asked.

Jean nodded, as Scott opened his visor up to a medium setting, and split up some of the larger rock's, and boulder's. Logan pushed them aside, aswell as Jean moving them with her power's, also stabilising certain area's, she wasn't sure could handle the strain.

At last they made a breakthrough, as with a combined effort, one side of the fallen rock's and debris, encasing the student's, fell apart. It revealed, Warren inside with his arm's, and wing's wrapped around Piper's body.

"Warren... are you alright?" Scott asked, walking ahead.

"I'm fine... it's Piper..." He explained, folding his wings back behind him, as she was leaning into his chest. "She lost consciousness, about a minute ago." He explained, as she just fell limp from his grip, Logan just caught her. The Wolverine noticed then, that she still wore the Ballet shoe's he had given her, two day's ago.

"It's alright, I got her." He said, moving out onto the ledge of the tunnel, to where the X-Jet, was hovering, with the ramp down.

"Get in!" Shouted Storm from above.

Jean went first, as Logan followed. They set Piper down on the floor, as Jean looked over her.

"Oh my god, Piper...?" Cabbie gasped, turning around in her seat.

She saw Logan kneeling over her, keeping her still with the motion of the Jet, as Warren stood at her feet looking quite helpless.

"How bad is she hurt?" Xavier asked, as Scott supported him into a different seat, so as he could Pilot the Jet.

"I wont know for sure, untill I get her back to the institute." Jean commented.

Storm resumed her position as the Co-Pilot, and everyone took their seat's. Within an hour, they were rushing Piper down to the Medical bay, and Jean took control from there.

Professor Xavier saw to Cabbie's leg, and sterilised the wound, before placing Tweanty-Five stitches into her leg, and wrapping it up in a bandage. For the time being, she had to keep the weight off of it, and use the aid of crutches.

Later on in the night, Camelia sat herself on one of the large sofa's, and sat in thought. Her crutches, were supported up against the arm to the Furniture, as she ran her finger's, across the metal frame. She heard footstep's approaching, and then all of a sudden Logan slumped himself down beside her, having previously spent the majority of his time looking over Piper.

"How is she doing?" Cabbie asked concerned.

He rubbed at his face, and let out a sigh. "Jean say's she should be fine... Piper's never used her power's for that extent of time before. Wiped her out." He said, and made a hand guesture, of sweeping out infront of him.

Cabbie let out a smirk. "That's good,... you look tired - Maybe you should get some rest aswell." She suggested to him.

"Maybe..." He shrugged his shoulder's. "How about you?"

"Well..." Cabbie raised her eyebrow's, looking at the stairs. "I have yet to tackle the stair's."

"Why not use the elevator... thats what it's there for." Logan said looking over at her.

"Nah..." Cabbie shook her head and smiled. "Don't tell anyone, but I have a fear of elavators." She let out an embarrased smirk.

Logan shrugged, as he stood up. "Fair enough. Guess I'll have to do it myself." He smiled.

Cabbie was about to ask him what he ment, untill his placed an arm behind her back, and then other under her leg's, sweeping her up in his arm's, and carried her to her room.

They got to the door, and Logan walked in, placing Cabbie down on her bed. "I'll be back in a minute." He said, and with that - Leaving Cabbie clueless, he darted back down the stair's and reamerged a few minutes later, with her crutches.

"Thank's." Cabbie sat pulling herself further up her bed. Logan turned to leave. "Don't go..." She said, and squeezed her eye's shut, in realisation to what she had just said. She pushed herself to continue. "Stay,... only for a little bit... I could do with the company." She said, and could feel colour rise to her face, as the inside's of her cheeks began to burn inside her mouth.

Logan stood at the doorway, contemplating whether to or not. He shut the door, and returned to Cabbie's bed, and sat down beside her.

"You want to see what's on?" She asked reaching towards the remote control.

"Sure..." Logan shrugged, as he made himself compfortable.

A cartoon flicked on the screen. Cabbie let out a laugh. "Can you believe they play this stuff, at this time?" She chuckled, and looked over at Logan.

He slowly turned to look at her, and shook his head slightly. Their gaze from one another refused to part, as they both uncontrollably found their heads willing themselves towards each other. Soon they found their lip's to touch, and then continued to kiss rather passionatly.

"Wait... stop." Cabbie gasped pulling away from him. Logan watched, almost embarrased, as his eyes darted away, and he bowed his head. To his suprise she turned the remote towards the Television, and turned it off

Okay, so I got them to kiss... now I am tempted to update the next chapter aswell... but then I am also tempted not too. Hmm...
