Wow. 2 chapters done. In the same day even! Kewl!

Two days later, Logan opened his eyes to the bright white of the med lab.

"Grr. Why is this place so fuckin bright. Damn doctors think that they know what's best, but they don't think that after being knocked out you really don't want a light in yer face?" he mumbled and grunted.

"No, actually we think that the patient should wake up to a black room so they think they're still knocked out. How are you feeling Logan?" Jean said as she walked to the bedside smiling.

"Fantastic," he said trying, but failing tremendously to hide the pain in his chest.

"I'm glad. We've been worried about you."

"Why?"

"Because you were hurt. You haven't been healing the same as you normally do."

"What?"

"That drug we gave you to counteract the one Dagger gave-"

"Dagger. Oh no. What happened? Where is he? Did he hurt anyone? What about the kids? What-"

"Logan calm down. None of he children were hurt. The team has a few cuts and bruises but-"

"What happened to your neck?" he said looking at the long cut across it. He began to notice that she did have many bruises. "What do you mean, "the team has a few cuts and bruises"? Tell me what happened."

"Logan, you need your rest."

"Did I do that?"

"Logan,"

"I did. Jeanie, did I? Where's everyone else?"

"They're fine."

"Red. Please? What are you hiding? What have I done?"

"Nothing, Logan. Nothing."

"What about Scott? Ororo? Who did I hurt?"

"Logan-"

"Just tell me. It must be better than what I'm thinking. I didn't kill anyone, did I?"

Jean took a long seep breath. She had to tell him. And she did. She told him every part that she could. If she didn't tell him now, he was bound to find out later and it would be worse than hearing the whole truth. Once she was done he sat back, not saying anything.

"Logan, I'm sorry. I just wanted you to know the truth. If you-"

"Thanks. That's all I wanted."

That was her cue to leave the room and let him alone. She did so without saying a word. A few hours later she came back to find him up and in his clothes that she had had out for him since they got him stable, in case he did heal quickly again.

"Logan, you really should be lying down."

"It's alright. I'll be fine. Don't worry aboot me," he said as he pulled on his coat. He prayed that she didn't notice the grimace on his face from the pain he was going through. He still couldn't show to her how he really felt.

"Logan, you can't be healed yet. Let me have a look at you," she said as she walked towards him. He backed off.

"No Jean. I don't want you to-" he didn't want to say it. Get hurt. Say it. I don't want you to get hurt by a crazed animal. You are one. You are Wolverine. She told you what happened, the truth. You killed again and you loved it. Don't let her be the next. Save them.

"Logan, I'm not afraid of you. You don't have to do this. Please?"

"I'll be fine."

"Then at least wait a day or two before you run off to God knows where," she pleaded. She didn't want him to leave like that. That was a big blow dealt to him. He didn't have to be hurt even more by the shame of leaving his home. Also, she just didn't want him to leave her.

He knew that he was not going to be able to say no to her. He never could. "Fine."

She walked over to him and slid her hand down the side of his face, "Thank you." With that she left the room to tell everyone that he was going to be okay.

It's winding down. Only a few more chapters ta go. Plez tell me what you think!
