Rogue watched from a window with the other students. "Wow!" Bobby shouted as he sat next to her. "Pretty scary stuff huh?" He smiled at her. Rogue kept staring at the ground where everyone had started to retreat inside.

Logan helped Alex to her feet again and steadied her as she walked. She and Jean were in a polite conversation as they walked. Justice caught up to them carrying a now shivering Hayley, who was snuggling to Justice for warmth. Storm landed in front them. She had some burns. She collected the Professor's wheelchair. Beast picked up Scott over his shoulder.

Rogue wanted to help. Logan looked up and glanced at her before he walked out of sight.


The infirmary was busy. Ally had a curtain pulled around where she was resting. Jean went to Alex maybe she could get some answers. Alex smiled as she approached, "Jean right?" she was trying to remember everyone she had been introduced to. Jean smiled they seemed likable.

"How can you reach us telepathically, but we can't reach you?" Jean tilted her head as searched he face for answers.

Alex shrugged. "I don't know. Explain how you read minds at all? You just do it." She gave her a sympathetic smile. "Ally could explain it. Is your boyfriend okay, the guy with the visor?"

"Yeah what did you do to him? You called it a mind spike?" She found them fascinating.

"No I just kicked him in the head. He wasn't a telepath and as reachable as Xavier." She shrugged. "The kick was quicker but the I put his mind to sleep with an overload."

Beast looked at Hayley she was freezing still. She took the warm blanket gratefully from the blue guy. "Thank you, blue," she smiled. She wasn't sure of his name.

"I am Henry McCoy or Dr. McCoy even Beast but not blue," He smiled. "You need anymore blankets, Fireball?"

She laughed at him. Okay he seemed cool enough. "Touch" she grinned at him, "Thank you, Hank."

"What is your nationality?" he asked her as he studied her shivering face.

"We are half Japanese. Our father is white and our mother was Japanese." She had an amazing smile.

Beast moved on to Alex as he heard Justice repeating apologies to Logan and everyone in general. The Professor and Scott were still sleeping peacefully.


Logan mumbled an 'excuse me' and walked out of the infirmary for a cigar. He wanted to think and be alone for a while. He puffed appreciatively on his stogie. He sighed as he thought of the 'attack'. It wasn't like Alex and Justice to follow Hayley's lead. They must have been pretty worried to jump headfirst into something like this. They were much more intelligent than that. People used to say the same thing about me, he thought. Ally kept them balanced. He put his cigar out and started back in to check on Ally. He stopped short as a tiny hand found his. He looked to see the little boy Justin.

"Hey," he smiled at the young man.

Justin smiled at him but still seemed wary.

"Really, it is okay, kid," Logan offered.

Rogue came up behind him and looked at Justin and Logan. "Why couldn't I help Logan?" Justin smiled at Logan as if to say 'yeah why not?" Logan sighed at them.

"Can you put this little guy back in his bed?" Then Logan walked off without waiting for and answer.

We he got back into the infirmary there was still some polite conversations between people. He looked at Ally behind the curtain she was still sleeping. He looked at Hayley and pulled the curtain.

"When can we see Ally," she asked.

"When you cool down," he grinned at her.

"Screw you Logan," she barked at him. He was enjoying her take down a little too much for her.

He wandered over to where Justice was talking to Jean. He took a minute to look at Hank fussing around Scott and Xavier.

Jean hadn't meant to stare at Justice but he was very handsome. He had a very European look about him. His hair was in curls on top of his head and hung down slightly. The sides were shaved short and neat, he looked like a surfer. He was talking to her about something she wasn't listening to. She would just give a polite uh-huh every so often. He spoke well and had a deep voice but he looked a lot like his sisters with the same deep blue eyes. She heard Hayley tell Hank they were part Japanese. She saw Hank working on Storm now and her burns. Logan was walking towards them and Justice's attention was on him now.

"Logan, I am sorry Hayley ...," Justice started. Alex and Logan knew what he meant. 'She was out of control, again.'

Storm gave them all a look. "We can discuss this tomorrow."
