The Marvel Academy For Gifted Students

Defenseless

Logan

He was probably making a big mistake, how could he be sure of trusting some stranger that could read his mind? Jean trusted this Professor with her life but Logan was trying to hide, not to expose himself. It didn't matter anymore, nothing did. He could feel how Jean trembled in his arms.

When he was finally at the front door thinking everything would become easier a strange high pitch sound drilled his ears, he had to bite his tongue to not cry in pain, looking at Jean he understood it came from her. Logan kicked the door with all the strength he had left, Jean suddenly shifted in his arms making most of the objects near them begin to float uncontrollably around them, one flower vase even shattered against his back.

"Help!" He found himself yelling "Help!" He kept repeating

Finally someone appeared, Logan looked up to see a huge blue.... monkey?

"Who the hell are you?!" The stranger inquired preparing himself to attack until he saw the girl in his arms "Jean" he began saying until he covered his ears, the noise had gotten louder

Logan had to yell to be heard "She needs Xavier!"

Jean

She heard distant voices discussing and could even see blurry people.
She remembered opening her eyelids for a second and closing them again from being too weak. It didn't seem real, for her it was only a dream.

When she finally woke up her head spun around making her dizzy, she tried to stand up but realized she could barely move.

"Easy there" someone said and placed a hand on her back, she didn't have time to look at the person, her stomach threatened to make her throw up at the slightest of moves, luckily someone put a bucket in front of her face while another helped her lift her head and even held her hair back as she vomited.
Jean had never felt so ill in all of her life, her energy was completely drained, her head was threatening to explode and her skin was damp in cold sweat.
A gentle hand cleaned her mouth with a tissue, she felt like a poor defenseless child.
That same person helped her lay back down, it was Hank McCoy, as they made eye contact she could tell he was concerned.
"Don't worry, everything's alright" he said trying to calm her down

She remembered now, she had had a nightmare and decided to run as far as she could to protect her friends... Logan

Only then she looked around the room, she had been here before, it was the Professor's own room, back when she was first reached out to him in order to join the school, the Academy was still in the proper building process so he had lent her his bedroom,  but that had been years ago back when she was just a scared small girl that had recently discovered her abilities; Xavier smiled to her from across the room, he looked tired and nervous, then next to her bed she saw Logan, his rough expression was replaced with a relieved one making him look much younger.

"Hank" Charles started saying "please leave us for a few minutes"

McCoy nodded and gave her a small hand squeeze before leaving.
Jean tensed but prepared to deal with the consequences "Professor" she tried to say, instead a weak incomprensible sound came out of her mouth

Charles rised his hand to stop her from saying another word "Save your strength Jean. Logan has already spoken to me"

She looked over at her friend, he sighed and explained "I told him you were helping me and that more than once you offered to take me to him"

The girl bit her lip, the last thing she wanted was to make Xavier disappointed, but he only smiled at her "You aren't in trouble, we'll talk about this later, rest"

She sighed in relief and tried to settle back on bed. Logan suddenly lifted her head gently so he could fix her pillows. Her eyelids closed once more without a warning.
