Learning To Tough It Out

by Kramer3000

What would you do if you got no sleep? What would happen if you got blamed and didn't know what you did? This is a story about Rogue and how the other X-Men don't understand her and the yongest recruit. This is my first FanFic. Let me know what ya think.

11. The Med Bay

Chapter 11: The Med Bay

Once they got home Kurt ported them inside and asked for Dr. McCoy.

Dr. McCoy was down in the med bay taking blood work, checking temperatures, adminerstring IV's, checking blood pressures, eye sight and every and anything else that Dr.'s do. He was running between a good fifteen cots thanks to Kurt and Jamie and of course was thrilled to see he was going to need cot number sixteen.

"Ah, hello Kurt, Jamie, and who might this young woman be?" Hank pulled out a fresh medical chart and his pen.

"Um, I'm Rebecca." Rebecca looked around. "Did all these people take Kicking the X?"

Hank nodded. "Yes indeed Miss…"

"Cane, Rebecca Crane."

"Thank you Miss Crane. Now Rebecca, how long were you taking the drug for?" asked Dr. McCoy.

"Five days."

"What is your gift?"

"My gift? I don't understand."

"Your power. What made you take the drug?"

"Oh, I can move things with my mind, but I don't always know I'm doing it until it's too late. I hurt my little sister fairly badly once and I decided that I should get rid of it before others got hurt."

Hank chuckled. "My dear you would fit in fine here. Now let's take your temperature and some blood. Five days you said. Well let's see what is going on inside of you, shall we."

"I'd rather not. Can you just tell me if I will be ok, or if it's too late."

"Absolutely not." He smiled and walked away to the microscope and syringes.

"What, why not!" Rebecca demanded.

Jamie skipped over, "That's an easy one. Dr. McCoy only focuses on the positives, isn't that right Dr. McCoy!"

"Indeed I do my young shinning pupil. Now if you would excuse me I need to speak with the professor."

With that Hank left the med bay and all sixteen patients. He had a feeling of relief. So far none of them had taken all fourteen of the mutant death pills. There was one patient he was worried about though. Emily Green. The only pill she hadn't taken was the final fourteenth pill. He was going to keep a close eye on her. She was much weaker than all the others. He just hoped that her body would fight it until he had an antidote.
