Unexpected hero

Logan made his way back to the group, looking a little worse for wear after his encounter with Magneto, but alive. Scott's eyes immediately darted to him

"Where's Rogue?" Scott asked, his voice sharp with worry

"She's safe," Logan replied with a nod, though his tone was vague, almost too casual for the situation. The rest of the team exchanged uneasy glances, scanning the area, but Rogue was nowhere in sight

Scott frowned, clearly panicked, "What do you mean, safe? Where *is* she?"

Logan didn't elaborate. He couldn't. He knew they weren't aware of your presence, and considering they all thought you were still back at the X-Mansion taking care of Professor X, the idea that you had swooped in to rescue Rogue would only raise more questions. So he kept quiet, trusting they would find out soon enough.

----

The team's anxiety simmered as they made their way back to the X-Mansion, still unsure of Rogue's whereabouts

When they arrived, they wasted no time heading straight to the medical bay, hoping to inform Professor X about the situation and get his help in finding her.

The doors to the medical bay slid open Jean, Storm and scott were surprised to see You standing over Rogue, who lay unconscious on the medical bed.

Your wings folded neatly behind you, your face marked with concentration as you awkwardly fumbled with the array of medical gadgets, clearly not sure how to use them

Professor X sat in his wheelchair beside you, watching with quiet amusement at your struggle with the unfamiliar equipment

As you fiddled with the unfamiliar medical equipment, trying to make sense of the various buttons and dials, Storm's voice suddenly broke the silence

"Y/N?" she called out, her tone both surprised and questioning

You jumped, nearly knocking over a tray of medical tools, and spun around. You hadn't realized they were standing there, watching you the whole time

"JESUS, dude you fucking scared the shit out of me" you sighed, still holding a gadget you didn't fully understand. "Hello" you waved at them

Professor X gave the team a knowing smile. "I knew you would all come through, but it seems our friend here had a hand in ensuring Rogue's safety as well."

You scratched the back of your head sheepishly. "Umm so, yea, plans changed. Professor convinced me to, uh, get involved. Didn't think I'd end up playing doctor, though." You gestured to Rogue, who was resting peacefully on the bed.

Logan stood at the door, arms crossed but with a slight smirk, watching as the rest of the team finally connected the dots

Scott stepped forward and looked at you with an expression of both surprise and admiration

"You're the one who saved her," he said, his voice steady but carrying the weight of realization. "You got Rogue out of there."

You glanced at him, unsure of how to respond at first. "Yeah... I caught her when Magneto knocked her off. Didn't really have time to explain," you replied, your wings flexing slightly as you spoke.

The room fell silent for a moment as the others processed what Scott had just revealed. Jean's eyes softened as she looked at Rogue, then back at you. "We were worried thought we lost her for good." she sighed

Logan, leaning against the doorframe, grunted in agreement. "Didn't say much because I figured they didn't know about your little... 'flight skills,'" he added

Storm smiled, her earlier confusion turning into a look of relief. "Thank you, Y/N. You saved her life."

"Uhmm," you mumbled, feeling a little awkward with all the attention now on you. "Well, Logan did all the heavy lifting. I just...swooped in at the right time, you should thank him." You tried to deflect the praise, glancing over at Logan

Logan, leaning against the wall, gave a small grunt, clearly uncomfortable with the idea of being thanked for anything. "Yeah, well...we all did what we had to," he muttered

Scott smirked a little, catching your attempt to shift the focus, but didn't push further. "Either way, Rogue's safe thanks to you."

Your face warmed as it began to turn a bit reddish from all the attention, and you felt a rush of embarrassment creeping in

Without saying anything else, you lowered your head, trying to avoid eye contact, and walked over to Jean. You handed her the medical tools, your eyes still focused on the floor as you muttered, "Here."

Jean gave you a gentle smile as she took the tools, sensing your discomfort. "Thanks," she said softly, her focus shifting back to Rogue, while the others exchanged knowing glances

Jean gave you a brief smile of gratitude before focusing on Rogue, her telekinetic abilities aiding her in stabilizing some of the equipment

Logan watched the scene unfold with his arms crossed, his usual gruff expression softening ever so slightly.

"You did good," Scott added, giving you a nod of approval and a pat on the back
