Please don't forget to leave a review once you've read it. Good or bad, I still want to know what you think of it!

Chapter 2

Within ahour Wolverine had already woken up from the sedative Beast had given him.

Still dazed he looked around, not knowing where he was or how he had gotten there. He seemed to be locked up in a cell, but didn't have a clue as to why.

"Ah, you've already woken up. I should have known it would worn off faster on you…"

Wolverine quickly scrambled to his feet at hearing Beast's voice.

"Beast?" he asked confused.

Suddenly he also saw Rogue sitting in a corner of the room.

"Rogue? What's going on here? And why am I locked up!"

Wolverine started to get irritated; He didn't understand why, but it seemed the X-men had locked him up.

…But why?... he wondered.

Beast and Rogue exchanged glances.

"Well I'm glad to see you recognise us again…" Beast started carefully.

"Recognise you? Of course I recognise you! What's going on here for crying out loud!" Wolverine yelled.

And so Beast told him what happened, leaving out the details though.

"Can't you remember anything at all?" Beast asked him rather worried.

But Wolverine didn't seem to hear him.

"No…no that can't be true….I should have remembered something like that! No, you're lying!" Wolverine said, but his voice was hoarse with dread.

…Then why can't I remember anything?...

One look at Rogue told him it that it really had happened. She would never lie to him. Besides he could see the fear in her eyes.

Defeated he sank to the floor "My God…what have I done!..." he whispered appalled.

Rogue came closer to him "It's not your fault Logan, it was that drug..." she said in an attempt to comfort him.

But Wolverine didn't seem to hear.

"How bad are they hurt…?" he asked Beast guilt lacing his words.

Rogue almost looked pleadingly at Beast. Although he didn't like to lie he also didn't want to make things any harder for Wolverine.

"Just some cuts and bruises…" Beast said. But he couldn't look Wolverine in the eye when he was lying, so he looked away.

"You're lying! Tell me the truth!...Please Hank?..." Wolverine said angry.

"Logan..please…Beast is right!" Rogue almost begged him.

Wolverine looked at her and calmed down somewhat. He knew though that they had to be in a much worse condition then Beast and Rogue were letting on. He could see it in her eyes.

He didn't want to upset her though and therefore let it rest for a moment.

Rogue took the key of the cell he was in and opened the door.

Wolverine backed away though "Don't! Leave it locked!" he yelled worried.

Rogue looked at him confused "B..but.." she stammered. But Wolverine interrupted her.

"Go away! God knows what I might do to you…" his voice was hoarse with fear and pain.

"The drug has worn off, you're yourself again…." Rogue assured him. Meanwhile she slowly walked up to him, not afraid of him at all.

Wolverine kept backing away though.

"She is right Wolverine, I took a blood sample from you earlier, and there are no traces of the drug left in your blood." Beast assured.

"How did it get in there in the first place?" Wolverine asked.

"I'm not sure, but it is probably a side effect of the medication I gave you yesterday. Often mutants react different to medicines…" Beast explained his theory.


After Beast had checked him one final time and Rogue had left to check on Gambit Wolverine left to the control room. He knew that everything in the mansion was being taped on security camera's and therefore knew that there had to be a tape with the footage of what exactly had happened.

Soon he had found it and played it in the vcr.

That's how he saw what had really happened; from the moment he came into the kitchen till the moment he had Jubilee in his strangling grip…

He suddenly felt sick to the stomach.

…How could I have ever done such a thing!...

He fled outside hoping the fresh air would clear his mind from the images he had just seen.


A few hours later Gambit came round in the med lab.

"Ah, you're awake…" Beast said relieved when he saw Gambit stir.

"Jubilee!...Is she alright!" Gambit asked worried.

He tried to get up, but his body objected strongly and he was stopped by Beast.

"Not so fast my Cajun friend, you're not to move until I got the results of your back-scan back, to see if your back isn't broken. Until then you're not allowed to move an inch!" Beast said stern.

"Gambit is just fine. He needs to see the petite though… Is she alright?" Gambit pressed again.

He tried to get up again, but was pushed back down by Beast.

"Jubilee will be fine again too. She has some cuts and bruises and a rather heavy concussion, but with plenty of rest she should make a full recovery. Now lay still!" he summoned Gambit.

Although Gambit wanted to see with his own eyes whether Jubilee was going to be fine he restlessly did as told.

A beeping sound announced that the test results of the scan were ready and Beast hurriedly left to check them.

"Hmmm…At least your back isn't broken…" Beast said relieved after looking at the scan photo's.

"Très bien, then Gambit can finally check on the petite!" Gambit said trying to get up from the bed.

"Gambit wait! You fell pretty hard on your back and it would practically be a miracle if you hadn't damaged it! I shall have to do some more tests to make sure I'm not overlooking anything." Beast objected.

But Gambit was already standing. "Gambit feels just fine mon ami, really." Gambit said as cheerful as he could muster. But even the slightest movement hurt him, and Beast could see.

"Gambit, please…If it is neglected it will only get worse, and you could severely damage something!" Beast warned him.

"Okay Beast. Gambit will just go see the petite and then he'll come back in here for your tests again, okay?" Gambit gave in.

Beast hauled his shoulders in defeat. He knew Gambit wouldn't give in before he saw with his own eyes that Jubilee was alright, so he brought him to another room in the med lab where Jubilee was.
