He had never known. When the Professor called him through Cerebro to tell him that Scott and Ororo were flying out to get him and to be ready he had complained, and had screamed at them. But as soon as he had stepped into the blackbird he knew something was wrong. They wouldn�t have gotten him if it weren�t. No one would tell him anything except that it was very important that he come back right away. He nearly tore the place apart but knew it wouldn�t help. They sat in silence for the half an hour trip back.
When they arrived he was rushed to the med-lab where through the windows he saw Marie, his Marie lying on her back unconscious with her left hand and wrist bandaged. He nearly went berserk with rage. He had stormed in there completely ignoring everything and everyone. With no hesitation he touched her giving his all. Marie awoke instantly and shoved him off of her. His last thought as he drifted into the now familiar black abyss was that he hoped she had gotten enough to heal what had happened.
When he awoke the first thing that occurred to him was that Marie was still unconscious. He almost touched her again until Jean held him in place. His hand mere millimeters away from Marie�s face. She floated him a few feet away and let lose everything except his legs so he couldn�t get to her again. She handed Logan the letter and told him to read it before he did anything else. Grudgingly he opened the envelope labeled only with his name in Marie�s writing.
He looked to Jean when he was finished. She released his legs and he nearly collapsed to the floor next to Marie�s hospital bed. He started to say something but was cut off.
�We know Logan. It�s not your fault. Don�t worry. She doesn�t blame you. And you�ll both be okay. I took the wrapping off of her wrist and it was healed completely. She�s no longer physically hurt.�
�How is she, ya know, mentally?�
�Unpredictable at best. When she awoke after your touch she had to be sedated because she was� well she was not herself.� Logan looked down.
�If I had only known�� he mumbled, not quite loud enough for Jean to hear. He stood looking down at Marie. She looked so peaceful in her unconscious state. �When will she wake up?�
�I�m not sure. An hour give or take.�
�Okay. Gimme a chair Jeanie.� Jean nodded and dragged one over for him. He sat down relieved.
Jean studied him for a moment. �God, I�ve never seen him like this. It�s like all of the life in him just left.� Jean decided that she could just as well monitor Rogue from a different part of the lab as she could here. She felt like she owed them some privacy.
A half an hour later Logan slumped in his chair and laid his head over Marie�s heart. He soon fell asleep.

�Logan? Logan is it really you?� Logan quickly awoke and looked to her. She seemed okay. A tab bit groggy but okay.
�Yeah darlin�. It�s me. How�re ya?�
�A lot better. But why are you here? Why am I here?�
�You don�t remember?�
�Nope. The last thing I remember was that you had called to tell me that you wouldn�t be able to call me for a while.�
�Wow. Darlin� that was two months ago.� Marie�s eyes widened. She sat in shock for a few moments. Contemplating what could have happened to land her in the med-lab with Logan who had recently come back.
�Logan, what happened to me?� Worry filled her voice.
�Do you want the truth?�
�Yes.� Logan wordlessly handed over the letter she had written him in what she thought would be her last moments.
�I really wrote that?� Logan nodded. Marie began to cry. Logan just held her and let her cry it out.
�I do Logan I do.�
�You do what?�
�I do love you Logan.� For the first time that day he smiled, relieved.
�I love you to Marie. Forever and always.�
