Chapter 6: (Part 5)

FRANCESCA'S POINT OF VIEW:

I thought for a second then breathed a sigh of relief. "I..."

Should I even say it?

"I...I...can't." I said weakly.

"What? What do you mean you can't? Define can't!?" He snarled at me.

I shook with fear, for just a brief moment. "I can't..." I whimpered. He banged hard on the door. "Stop it! You're scaring me!" He banged on the door louder. I screamed and started to cry. "Logan...please, stop!" I wailed.

All of a sudden the pounding on the door ceased.

"I'm...sorry. FrancesCa, please, you gotta open up the door."

"I don't think I can. I'm too weak." I said weakly again. I winced, I hated sounding weak.

"Unlock the door."

"I can't."

"Why not?" He asked harshly.

I shook my head and realized he couldn't see me doing that so I answered, "Because...I can't get up."

"Get up? Where are you exactly?"

"In the shower."

"I figured that. The water is on." He snickered.

I rolled my eyes, still the same Weapon X as always. "No, I mean, I'm literally in the shower." I stated louder. I made splashing noises with my hands.

"Oh..." I heard him say then he chuckled?

"No! Logan I'm serious. Please, I can't get up."

"I can't get in unless you unlock the door. What did you do to it?" He asked a little breathless.

I winced but said, "I put on an air lock."

"WHAT!? Then why don't you take it off!?" He asked.

I shook my head, "I can barely do that. What do you think I've been trying to do all this time?"

"What about the water?"

"What about it?"

"It was supposed to have shut off after you were in the shower for more than twenty minutes."

"Oh that." I bit my lip, "I've been using the water element to keep it on."

"Why?" He asked and tried banging on the door some more.

"To help ease my swollen ankle."

"Swollen ankle? What'd you do?" He asked breathless.

"I think I sprained it. Can you help me or not?"

"Okay. I'm coming in. But, you gotta take off the air lock first."

"Okay, I'll try again." Gritting my teeth I pulled back my hand, hearing a click I squealed in delight.

"What!? What's wrong!?" He was yelling again. He seriously needed to stop doing that a lot. He was gonna blow out my ear drums.

"I just managed to unlock the door."

"Good! I'm coming in."

"Wait!" I shouted.

"Wait what?"

"You can't come in."

"Why not?" He huffed in response.

"Because...you know...I'm in the shower."

"Oh."

"Go and get a girl to help me."

"I can't do that. Nobody else is here but me."

"Then you might as well, leave me in here." I stated, crossing my arms over my chest.

No way in hell and back was I gonna let Weapon X see me naked!

He growled so loud that I had to cover my ears. "I'm not going to leave you in here. I'm coming in."

"Wait no!" I shouted. "No, don't!" I shrieked in horror.

"Francesca listen to me." He said in a calm voice. "I'm going in there one way or another. I promise, I won't sneak a peek."

"Yeah, that's what all the guys say." I grumbled.

I heard another snarl. "I'm not like that alright? You wanna be stuck for another six or seven hours in here? Or are you gonna let me help you?" He asked harshly. I didn't answer him. "Francesca!" He snarled loudly.

I blinked and sighed. "Fine. Come in."
