Rogue's stomach churned slightly from the teleportation, but she just managed to keep her lunch down. Tiredly, she sort of fell towards the window, half laying against the window and half sitting in the seat. Somewhere in the back of mind, she realized that her left shoulder and arm had gone completely numb. She supposed that was bad, but at least she wasn't feeling anymore pain. Gently, she reached out to touch Kurt's head with her good hand, needing to be reassured of his presence as she struggled to remain awake.

Jean let go of all inhibition and just started tearing all of the sentinels apart, "Logan get her out of here! I'll handle the sentinels!" and with that the bubble around Jean faded and covered Kitty and Logan. Jean however rose in the air her telekinetic aura grew larger and started to become fire the closer it was to her. With a scream she let them have it. She flicked her arms making them appear like fiery wings and the shockwave from that energy began to take out most of the remaining sentinels.
Kitty opened her eyes and looked at Logan, "Ow...I feel like a football..."

Kurt sat up slightly in order to look at Rogue and make sure she was okay. His eyes looked like they wer being forcerd open as he felt the hand go to his head. He couldn't let himself close his eyes at this point, otherwise he'd be out like a light. "Vell... this mission could haf gone better," he said tiredly in attempt to keep the both of them awake. He felt like one more movement from his already shaking and weak form would cause him to collapse.

Rogue nodded slightly, cracking one eye open to look at Kurt. "Yeah..." she murmured. "Could've gone worse, though..." She shifted slightly, trying to make herself a little more comfortable.

"Ja... I guess..." he sounded so tired as he tried to keep himself from laying down or from passing out. He felt so light headed at this point he thought he could almost float. His stomach felt as if it had taken a beating from the Juggernaut after eating till he was full (which was quite a bit) even though he hadn't eaten much (by his standards) before going into the mission. His arms at this point quivered as he tried to support his weight. "I mean... ja..." he was in no condition to think of anything particularly witty at the moment.

Rogue nodded again, weakly running her fingers through his hair to dislodge random bits of dirt and debris. "Get some rest," she murmured softly. "I'll keep an eye open for them..." She was exhausted, but she seemed to be more awake than he was at the moment. Besides, with her arm numb, she wasn't all that worried by the pain.

"But... but..." Kurt sighed as he tried to stay awake. His eyes looked tiredly over at Rogue, letting his weight rest on his legs.

"It's fine," Rogue nodded slightly, carefully sliding to the floor. Gingerly, she wrapped her still functioning arm around Kurt, careful not to touch any of his skin with her own bare skin. "You're too tired to stay awake really."

"So are you... you're hurt," he pointed out as his body still quivered. He didn't want to leave Rogue with no way of getting out if trouble caught back up with them. He tried to fight the fatigue to the best of his ability as he forced himself to stay sitting straight.

Rogue shook her head slightly, holding Kurt a little tighter. "I'll be fine," she whispered tiredly. "I can always absorb you if I need to get out..." She was trying to ease any of his fear. He was shaking, and she couldn't stand it if he was really that tired. "Besides, I can't even feel it anymore, so it really doesn't hurt..."

"Y-you're sure," he offered as he tried to steady himself. Note to self: 'porting that much with that many people over and over again along with lots of stress and no food or offensive power = bad. "Doesn't change that you're injured," he looked over towards a makeshit first-aid kits under one of the seats and reached forward for it and sliding it towards them. He nudged it to Rogue.

Rogue nodded slightly, grabbing the first aid kit and fiddling with it weakly. "I'm sure," she pressed a pad of gauze to the wound which should suffice until she got to Hank. "You're going to rest whether we do it my way or yours... it's up to you if you want to be in a coma."

"I'm not tired," he protested weakly as he gave up trying to hold himself up and plopped over on his side. "My body just has decided to be lazy for the time being," he said in attempt to make an excuse as he lifted his head up. "I vill lay down but I vill not go to sleep."

Rogue conceeded, nodding her head slightly and weakly pulling Kurt into her lap. Using the edge of the seat to hold the gauze pad on, she let her numb arm flop over him, gently stroking his hair with her other hand. "As long as you get some rest..."

Kurt couldn't help but feel like some sort of pet at this point, being pulled to someone's lap like this. But at the moment, he was in no place to protest. He curled up his body a tad, feeling cold as the shock finally started to set in. His fur stood up on end as his blood shunted in order to warm himself up. "I vill... and after this... I vant nothing but food and sleep."

Rogue shifted slightly to find a blanket from her spot, managing to find one under the seat behind her. Gently, she threw it over Kurt, rubbing his back lightly. Honestly, she was just trying to make sure he was warm and comfortable, which was hard to be on the floor of the X-Van. "Comfortable?" she asked softly, hoping he was. After all, she didn't have the strength to lift him on to one of the seats.

Kurt looked up and nodded. "Considering ve are both ready to pass out? Ja... I think this isn't too shabby," he said with a slight laugh before fighting off a wince. He felt like his body would collapse on itself.

Rogue nodded slightly, still rubbing his back slightly. Honestly, she wasn't so sure how close to passing out she really was. She was just so tired and numb, and she thought if she stopped even that little movement, she'd stop and never get started again.

"We haf to stay avake..." he said quietly as he tried to force himself to stay conscious. His tail wrapped around her to make sure she was still there. His eyes transfixed on the door to the van, praying quietly to Saint Judas that everyone would come back safely.

"Well as long as yer already feelin like one..." Logan said to Kitty's football comment as he bent down and scooped her up in his arms. His shoulder complained but he ignored it, turning and heading back towards the van.
He didn't slow as Jean cut loose but he did look back a moment and glanced at her work, "Jeannie?"

Kitty groaned, "I hate robots..." She rolled her eyes as she was being carried across the lawn...like a football...great.
Jean felt Logan's eyes on her and she told him, "Get out of here Logan! Get Kitty out of here!" one of the sentinels left leaped at her and she flicked her arm towards it and the the energy released shredded it. The whole front half was gone before it was finally thrown back to the ground. Her eyes began to glow as every mental block on her power started to break down. The power she was feeling was beyond anything she imagined.

Kurt stirred as he heard a lot of noise outside the van. A lot of metal ripping and orders being barked. He tried to get up only to wince before dropping back down. "Are they okay?" he asked weakly as one of his hands clenched into a fist. His fur was starting to feel a bit damp from a cold sweat. His ears kept picking up the sound of the Sentinels... and he didn't like it.

Rogue raised herself slightly to see out the window, holding Kurt close ot her. "Ah can't reall ah see..." she murmured, trying to pretend that she didn't sound so choked up. "Ah think so, though..." Carefully, she sunk back to the floor, rubbing Kurt's back slightly. Honestly, she felt more nervous about how he was doing over the rest, mostly because she could see him.

"You an me both." Logan muttered as he got him and Kitty back to the van. He opened the passenger door and set her inside, taking a moment to glance in the back at Kurt and Rogue. Slamming the door he headed around and jumped into the drivers side starting the van.

"Vhere's Jean?" Kurt asked pathetically from where he lay. He didn't like the idea of possibly leaving anyone behind. Not if there was some way to help it. He stirred slightly, trying to get up but finding it almost impossible.
