Wrong Side of Right

Chapter 3

"How is she?" Ororo asked. Logan hadn't moved since Marie had woken up, even before he had kept an almost constant vigil beside her bed, and it was unlikely that he'd move for a while now that she'd regained consciousness

"How'd you except her to be 'Ro?" he asked in reply, one gloved hand lightly tracing the sleeping two-toned girl's cheek; she had cried herself to sleep some time before "She just found that she can't touch again. She's upset." Ororo frowned, sitting on the bed close to Marie's as she watched Logan

"There's more mutants coming here later." She explained "A lot of the ones who had only been excepted back into their families because they chose the cure. Now that they've got their powers back, they're out of homes, we're expecting a lot of people to come here." Logan nodded, turning his head slightly to look at her

"You're worried." he observed, Ororo nodded

"I don't know what this is going to mean." she admitted "A lot of the mutants who took the cure are going to be upset that it didn't work as it should have done. They're going to want to fight back against those who gave it to them. They'll want revenge"

"And people who are happy that the cure existed are going to argue that the mutants did something to stop it from working." Ororo nodded

"I'm going to go back upstairs." she told Logan quietly, standing back up "I need to help the others sort out rooms for our expected guests, and I want to phone Hank, find out what he knows about this." Logan nodded, turning back to Marie, and grasping her hand in his

"She'll be alright Logan." Ororo said quietly, giving the mans shoulder a reassuring squeeze "Elena examined her when we brought her in. She said they're going to be fine." Logan nodded again, Elena was their new doctor, they had been looking for one after Jean's 'death' at Alkali Lake, and the blue haired woman had taken the offer up soon after the war. The doors to the infirmary 'whooshed' open and closed as Ororo left, and Marie stirred, her eyes opening as she blurrily looked to Logan

"Hey." he whispered

"Hey." She replied, her voice thick with sleep, she shifted slightly, and her grip on Logan's hand increased slightly "What happened? How'd ah get here?"

"'Ro took me and Kurt to come and see you." Logan explained, and a smile crept onto his face "She wanted me to try and convince you to come home with us."

"Ah'm here now." Marie pointed out, a tiny smile gracing her own face, Logan nodded

"You wouldn't answer your door, so we'd thought you'd gone out or something. I heard something inside, so I broke the lock open" he paused for a moment "You were having a seizure Marie." He shook his head, trying to rid his mind of the memory he knew would be with him for a long time, and his grip tightened to match hers, and his head turned so his could look at her properly "I was so damn scared." Marie looked surprised for a second, and then reached out with her other hand and dropped it over Logan's

"Ah'm alright Logan." she said calmly, and then fell into silent thought "Ah've got mah powers back." She whispered eventually, Logan nodded

"What about the baby?" she asked him, "What if ah hurt the baby, Logan?" she looked panicked and worried, tears brimming in her eyes at the thought of harming her un-born child

"The baby's fine, Marie." Logan reassured her "Elena, the new doctor, she checked you over when you came in, she said the baby was fine, wasn't being effected by your powers. She also said you can get up now, if you wanted to." Marie smiled, and hugged Logan, swinging her legs out of the cot she lay on and grabbing some clothes that had been left at the bottom of it for her. As she (unsteadily) crossed the room on her way to the changing room in the infirmary she paused, and turned to him

"Ah absorbed you. Didn't ah?" she asked quietly "When ya'll found me, ah absorbed you. When ah woke up, You were in mah head." There was silence. And then Logan nodded his head once.

"I'm sorry Marie." He said simply

"Me too, Logan." She replied, continuing into the changing room.
