Spooked

A sequel to "Mutineer"
 
 

"Gambit, would you watch what you're doing?" Cyclops yelled over the
crashing sounds of mutants fighting Sentinels and practice droids.
He had just narrowly avoided being hit by five glowing playing
cards. "Wolverine, would you give him a hand? Find out what's wrong
and fix it."

Logan turned to the tall young mutant standing next to him and
reached out for the sleeve of his coat. Gambit flinched away
violently, eyes sparking and wild.

On the instant, a beam from a Sentinel slammed into the Acadian and
blasted him into the wall, where he crumpled and lay on the floor,
unconscious.

"Remy!" Logan shouted, moving toward his fallen companion. Another
Sentinel blast almost set him to join the Cajun, but Cyclops enacted
the emergency kill just in time. The ruined cityscape they'd been
training in faded away until they were left standing in the homely
confines of the Danger Room.

"Kid, you okay?" Logan said, raising him up to a sitting position.
Gambit groaned and his eyelids fluttered, but he did not wake up.

"Make room," Beast said brusquely, pushing through to his injured
teammate's side. "Hmm…I don't think it's too serious. Let's get him
to the MedLab and get him patched up. He's going to be in a very bad
mood when he wakes up, but he'll be fine in short order, I feel sure."

"I'll take him," Logan said, gathering the lanky body up in his
arms. "It's my fault he's hurt."

Cyclops put a restraining hand on his beefy shoulder. "What
happened, Wolverine? Really?"

"Doesn't matter. All that matters is that he's all right." The
burly Canadian stood up, shaking off the X-Team leader, and left the
Danger Room behind Dr. McCoy, bound for the MedLab.
