"Jean's vitals are normal. But the coma has yet to break from her mind." Xavier spoke as Scott continued to pace back and forth throughout the medical wing.

"Scott, she'll be fine sugah, sooner or lata." Rogue laid a caring hand on his shoulder as she smiled and exited the ward with Gambit at her side. The Cajun bowed his head to both Scott and Logan in respect.

"Let's leave these two alone for the time being, until then, Marie and Remy? You both can assist me in keeping the other students under control. With what's been happening this past week, its chaos."

The few X-men couldn't help but laugh as Xavier closed the door behind him and the other two.

Logan leaned back in the metal chair that he sat in as the beeping sounds of the machines continued to echo the large ward like many times before. Ororo had yet to stir from her critical state in which The Shadow King held her in.

Poor Jeanie, he thought.

All they wanted to do was help, but Logan couldn't help but think the red head deserved a small bit of what she got. She had been forewarned by both Logan and the out of control Weather Goddess herself. But Jean had continued on.

"Jean, honey."

Logan shot his glance towards Scott who sat by the red heads side. This week had to be one of the worst any of them had ever experienced…Especially Ororo.

Logan closed his eyes as he mentally pictured her happy. The week before she had smiled, not often though. The Shadow King had been in her mind for quit some time now, but she had control. She had still been different, distant.

If only they would have noticed, he could have stopped all this. Leaning his head back against the head rest he fought the tears that once more tried to break free. He loved her so much; he had come to realization of that. But had yet the chance to say it to her. Once this was all over he would say it a million times over.

How he had wanted to just take her in his arms and fight all her fears away. The look on that face of hers as she laid there out cold on the hard, cold, slab of metal.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Running along the dark corridors, her feet stung from the needles that continued to break into her skin as she tried to fight against the shadow that attacked her. The tears streamed down her face as the darkness surrounded her once more.

"Logan." Her voice spoke as The Shadow King continued his outbreak.

Ororo sat cornered in her mind as she waited for the light to break in. Her body ached everywhere and she was so tired. Tired of breathing, tired of fighting, tired of crying. Tired all together. What she would give for this all to be another dream as she awoke from it in her silk sheets and nice big bed. But that was too much to ask for as his laugh echoed through every crevice in her mind.

"Leave me!!! Go away you monster!" She continued to rant trying to break free of his hold on her. She couldn't even see what was going on around her in reality anymore. He had somehow learned to block that too.

Ororo laid her head in her hands as she ached to see her loved ones. Just to hear their voices once more. To see the sunlight and the beauty of her garden.

"Goddess please help me." Her voice was soft as her eyes glazed over and she rose from the corner he had placed her in.

"I shall not allow this any longer you foul creature. I am not one to toy with and you have done nothing but that!" Her scream echoed as he shot another wave of pain into her small form inside her mind. There was no use; she had no way of getting past his blockades.

"You bitch! How dare you even think to stand up to me! And here I thought you could help me! We could rule together! Me and you..but now." Before she could say thing the darkness once more took over as he took full control of her vulnerable body.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Logan shot up as he senses hit over drive. Ororo's body once more began floating in air as her eyes filled their evil red. A low growl escaped his throat as he tried his best not to hurl forward onto the impostor.

"Leave her alone!" Logan shot out as The Shadow King's laugh echoed throughout the large room.

"Why her? Never! She is a big part in my small plan...and I could never give that up! Until next time X-men!" Before Logan could protest at the impostor using Ororo's body, the window flew open and a gust of wind hurled through the room taking Logan by surprise as he fell backwards onto the hard floor. Ororo's body disappeared out the window as it closed behind.

The alarm echoed as it was turned on by Scott. Red flashed everywhere as the students ran from their rooms.

"What happened?" Scott screamed over the loud system.

Logan couldn't answer as he sat bewildered at the recent happenings. How could he not of stopped him? Now he was out there somewhere with the one person he had grown to love…Ororo.

"This can't be happening!"

Rogue shot in the room as Xavier tried his best to keep the estate calm.

"Ah dink ah know where he's headed." Her voice was soft as she touched Jean's small body with her bare hand. Ororo's memories shot through her as Jean's body drained them from her system.

"What are you doing!?" Scott demanded to know.

"Ah'm seein for mahself. Jean had tried to enter Ororo's mind and in doing so she saw ah small part of what he wants to do." Rogue explained as pain echoed her system, taking her hand from the red heads body; she smiled to her fellow X-men.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Wind tore at her body as Ororo's body flew through the skies. Lightning flashed everywhere as Mother Nature cried for the loss of her daughter.

"Yes! The power! I feel great!" The Shadow King roared through the skies as he made way towards the mountains.

"Free!!! Child your free!"

Ororo screamed inside her mind as he continued to ravish her lands, whirlwinds tore at innocent grounds and buildings. Lightning crashed down destroying things left and right. Rain pelted down upon the surface followed by snow, sleet and hail. Every force imaginable was set free upon the Earth as the Weather Goddess sat helpless trapped inside her mind.

"So long I have waited. Oh so very long. And now, your powers, your spirit can soar free through out with the rest of us!"

"But I do not want to be free!! Leave me be! All those people!" Screaming out her agony, Ororo was finally able to control her body, sending it hurling to the ground.

"No! Child what are you doing!??" The Shadow King screamed as he was pushed back into the mind and Ororo took over. She was too weak, watching as the ground came closer and closer.

"Must stop this." Her voice was weak as she finally blacked out, both her and her mind surrendering into the darkness of unconsciousness.

The clouds slowly cleared as the rain and other forces stopped. Falling faster and faster towards the ground nothing stopping her.

"Storm!!!" A voice screamed as she finally came towards the ground, people formed all around the body that was now held inside a young girls arms.

"Sarah? Is she alright?" An elder asked as they watched the grounds.

"Back to the sewers! Marrow! Bring her with ya!"

"She has finally returned. Returned to us…The Morlocks." Sarah or also known as Marrow spoke as she eyed over Storm's body.
