Jean Grey sat on the low fieldstone wall that ran in front
of the main doors of Xavier High, watching the massive crane lower a section of
new wall into place. It had been nearly
eight months since Magneto's attack, but repairs on the wing of the school that
had been destroyed were just now being completed.Jean's thoughts were far away from where she was sitting in
the soft early spring sunlight. She
could still see it so clearly--the explosion, the telekinetic shield she had
thrown up around herself and Betsy, although just moments earlier Betsy had
been smirking as she tore Jean down in front of most of her classmates.Jean had expected Magneto to kill them both--after all,
that's what he was, a murderer.
Professor Xavier had told her so.
But he hadn't. Instead, he'd
given them a choice. Stretched out his
hand in friendship. And Betsy had taken
it. Magneto left Jean to ostensibly be
crushed under the rubble he'd created.n stn style='mso-spacerun:yes'>
When Jean had woken up in the Institute's infirmary the next day, Betsy
had been gone, and Scott had been sitting by her side.Jean forgave Scott almost instantly. She'd lost her best friend--she wasn't about
to lose him. Scott had barely let her
out of his sight since then. Jean could
still feel the guilt that radiated from him sometimes, and something deeper,
more buried that she didn't care to delve into.She turned her head slightly at a familiar mental
signature. <Scott.>"Hey, beautiful," he said. "Why the long face?" Jean stood briskly, fluffing her wavy red
hair with one hand."I was just thinking." Scott looked at his watch.
"We'd better book it if we're gonna make it to the
professor's training session on time." Jean nodded."Let's go."
She looked back at the destroyed walls once more before walking away.---
The Xavier Institute
for Mutant ResearchJean paused outside Professor Xavier's study. "He's with someone." She reached out. <Professor? Is this a bad time?>
<Not at all, Jean.
Please come in.> Jean nodded
to Scott. "It's alright." The two students entered the professor's
study, stopping when they saw who he was with."Jean, Scott," said Xavier. "Please take a seat. Governor Shaw was just leaving." Scott extended his hand to Sebastian Shaw,
Governor of Massachusetts."It's a pleasure, sir." Shaw smiled.
"Likewise.
Always uplifting to speak to Xavier's best and brightest." He turned to the professor. "I'll have my assistant fax you those
campaign strategy reports in the morning, Charles." Xavier nodded."Thank you, Sebastian.
You take care." Shaw left,
closing the door behind him."You don't have anything to worry about, unless you're
a strain of a particular water-borne Amazonian virus that my bacteria is
designed to eat. But I'll thoroughly
disinfect the bed before you sleep in it, if it will make you feel
better.""Much," said Victor dryly.
"My goal is to win the Nobel prize by the time I'm twenty-one,"
said Hank. "I only have three more
years to go...right now I'm stuck.""Stuck?" said Victor. He opened his bag and started putting his few
possessions into an unoccupied drawer.- You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.You need to be logged in to leave a review for this story.
