So, finally we have one of the maincharacters back on stage, good eh? Now at least I know Warren will survive, the rest is yet to find out...

Another beeping happily started to sing with the first one, announcing that the mutant indeed was awake, and soon a third followed before Jean had time to turn them of.

As if waking up from a long sleep the mutant in the bed moved at first, before opening his eyes. Staring up at the roof for a short moment caused him to automatically bring up an arm to protect his eyes from the bright light. Finding that it was too heavy to move he just closed them again, hoping that those noises would somehow stop as well, they made his head hurt…

Then a hand was put on his forehead and a familiar voice said his name. Yes, he did remember, that was Piotr, a friend… Warren smiled a bit and cracked one eye half-open to see if he was right. He was. There was his big friend, smiling down at him. Warren grinned wider as he looked around, having memory coming back at the same time. There was Iceman, what was he doing here? It didn't matter… Dr. Grey, fiddling with something going into his arm… But someone was missing. If Piotr was here to see when he woke up, then shouldn't John be here to? Or maybe they took rounds, to let the other sleep, so that he'd never be alone… Because he did care, didn't he… No, Warren decided it was better to ask before he made any conclusions;

"Where is John?"

Piotr sighted, of course the first thing he asked about was where John was, not what had happened to him. Was the Pyro really that important to him that he cared more about what he was doing (which could be anything normal, like eating) than what had almost caused his own death?

Well, truth had to come out at some point, didn't it? So instead of answering the big mutant just made a gesture towards the other bed on the other side of the Angel. The boy turned his head, his gaze still a bit dizzy, and slowly took in the picture of who it was in the other bed. Neither Piotr nor Bobby saw his face, but both could feel how the smile on his face faded away. He slowly sat up, still his head turned away.

When Bobby started to speak both Jean and Piotr jumped again;

"When Rogue touched you, you fainted almost immediately. Then John probably thought you were dead, so he went crazy and tried to kill her. She got out of the room though, and then he just picked you up, put you on a bed and lay down next to you. He's been like that ever since, the professor can't find his soul, it's sort of gone, so he can't wake up even if his body is working as it should…"

He was talking almost slowly and collected the whole time, but Colossus saw that when he got to the part where John "fell asleep" his breath started to come out in small puffs of white smoke, and he could feel the cold breeze coming from his body.

Warren then turned towards them;

"Is there nothing we can do?"

Both of the youngest mutants expected Dr. Grey to tell him what they've already heard too many times, that there was nothing to do. But to their surprise she said;

"There might be a small chance. Since it was because he thought that you were dead the Professor think that maybe your voice can be the thing to bring him back. If you just spend some time now and then and talk to him, he might come back. That has been working on similar chases before."

Warren looked confused, just as Bobby and Piotr, so Jean put a hand on his shoulder;

"But we won't pull that through yet. Right now you need to sleep."

Now it got even more confusing for them, and Bobby was the one to be first with opening his mouth;

"But hasn't he already, I mean, he's been resting for weeks…"

But Dr. Grey shook her head;

"Being asleep and being unconscious is quite different. When you sleep your brain works down all impressions you have got during your time awake. But for that it needs to be working, which it doesn't if you're out of you mind. And his body is still weak and need much rest."

With that she gently pushed the Angel back against the pillows and he obediently closed his eyes. Soon he was asleep, and Jean shooed the other two out.

Short, I know, I'll get it better. Soon it will all end and I will pass you attention to someone else.

Just want to thank JustAnAmateur for all the comments, it means a lot...
