A couple hours later they took shelter in the rooms, but not as they were assigned. Kurt didn't want to leave Brook's side even though she was doing a little better. Her eyes began to open just when Kurt was almost asleep. "Brook." She took a raspy breath.

"How long have I been out," she croaked.

"Not that long," Kurt replied. "Professor Xavier is sending someone out to get us." She gave a smile.

"And my brother?"

"When he heard you fell in the water he freaked, he'll be happy to know you're awake." She smiled once again and then looked at her bandaged wing. In touching it she winced at the pain as it shot through her arm. "Yeah, about that. Don't go flying during a dangerous storm just to fix an antenna." Kurt laughed, and Brook threw the closest thing next to her, which happened to be one of Kitty's stuffed animals, and chugged it at Kurt with her other arm. "Hey, that's what your brother said not me." Kurt laughed again as Kody came in the room. "I'll leave you two alone," Kurt squeezed his way passed Kody and in his own room, where he found it to also be crowed.

Kitty was nestled against Piotr so they could keep each other warm since the power went out. "It'll be good to be back home. Not that I didn't enjoy this trip," Piotr kissed the back of her head. "Brook is doing better I assume then," she said when she saw Kurt walk in.

"Yeah. She'll be doing a lot better when the others arrive," Kurt went up to his bed.

"It's been over two hours, how much longer do you think it will take?" Piotr asked.

"I'm sure they'll be here any second." Just then there was a loud boom. An explosion maybe, or perhaps something hitting against the ship. Kody left Brook's room and came in to the other's to tell them to stay put.

Kody raced up to the decks and saw a flare lighting up the sky. There was a soft hummering sound in the distance and somehow the storm started to calm. A large shadowy figure was put in view, and then search lights were turned on toward the boat. Kody placed his arm on his forehead to block the bright light. He could see little people from inside the jet.

"Scott take us down further," Logan screamed over the loud roars of the violent wind. Ororo Munroe was strapped to the top of the jet to hold back the more violent part of the storm. A gurney was lowered down just then and Kody went back below to get the others.

Once Brook was strapped in safely, Logan reeled her up, and Jean sat with her to make her comfortable. Next was Kitty then Kurt, and afterwards came Piotr, though he argued with Kody a bit before being hoisted. The rest got loaded in and with the jet full Scott took back Kody, Book, and the captain to the coastguard headquarters, and then the rest journeyed home.

The next day everyone was starting to recover from their ordeal. Brook was let off from school, which sort of got her mad with her attendance, but she wouldn't give up on her homework, "I will not fall behind," she said to Hank over and over again. The wound had affected her a lot when she transformed back, on her back shoulder blade there were nasty deep cuts, and for that she also got laid off from danger room practice.

Kurt went back to being his old self with his usual pranks and jokes. He did however, have a hard time wanting to swim in the pool, or take a bath. The professor finally confronted him with complaints from the staff and students that he began to stink like a dog. Rahne got a little offended from this comment.

Finally Kitty and Piotr. They truly didn't want to forget that night as they almost lost their friend, so they would talk about it, visit Brook from time to time, and have a few laughs with Kurt to make it seem not too gruesome.

As for Kody, he wrote to Kitty, Piotr, Kurt and Brook immediately as he could. Kitty, Kurt, and Piotr ran down to the med-lab to show Brook the letter. "It feels kind of heavy for a letter, don't you think?" Brook took the large envelope from Kurt. It felt sort of bumpy, and seemed to fill with bubble wrap.

"Open it, I wanna see what it is." Kurt urged excitedly. Brook took off the smaller white envelope that was attached, and opened it to read what it said.

" 'To my dear friends, I hope you are all feeling well. You have proven much bravery when it was called for, and for that you will be remembered. Enclosed is my appreciation and the gratitude from the Navy Seal commission. Your friend, Kody Drew.' "

Piotr took the larger envelope and opened it, pouring out 4 magnificent medals. All of their eyes were aghast. Kurt had to rub his eyes a couple of time before believing what was in front of him. "These are like, amazing." Kitty said.

"Da." Piotr responded.

Brook just smiled. "My brother always did find a way to show his thanks." They all took their individual medal, and peered on the back what was engraved. 'To the mighty seal pups.'
