As the sun met her eyes, Jean fought blinking and waking up, she had slept so well she didn’t want to chance waking up. She hadn’t been this relaxed and comfortable in a long time. As she felt Logan stir next to her, she couldn’t help but smile. He was sleeping so deep and it was the first time that she hadn’t read any of his nightmares. He had a few bad dreams as always, but they seemed rather calm. As she rolled over and curled closer to him, the sun finally forced her to open her eyes. She smiled as she felt the warmth of the sun on her face and the soft comfort of Logan’s bed. This felt right, she didn’t really know why, but this just felt right. The thing that worried her wasn’t that she had slept with Logan, but that she didn’t feel any guilt about it. As she opened her eyes and went to roll over, she caught sight of the digital clock on the nightstand. 9 am. The fear began to set in then. How was she going to get out of his room without anyone seeing her? The other thought that began to plague her was how to get out of the room without waking up Logan. She did her best to try to slip out of the bed without waking him up, but the second she had moved, she could tell it disturbed him, he seemed annoyed that she had left, that the warmth of her body had gone. Just as she slipped out of the bed and stood up, she felt his arm wrap around her waist and pull her back down to sit on the edge of the bed.
"Don’t"
"Logan I have to go, if someone sees me… how would I explain…"
"You’d tell them that you left one-eye for me"
"Logan… I have to go… As much as I want to stay I-"
"Then stay" he said as he released her and relaxed once again.
"Logan" Jean said softly as she stood up and began to search for her clothes. "I have to go, I have to figure out how I can explain this"
"Explain what?"
"This… us" she said as she pulled on the last of her pajamas.
"Us? Why do you have to explain us? Just tell everyone the truth."
"I can’t right now Logan, I- Things are more complicated now… Just give me a little time" she said as she leaned down to him and gave him a soft kiss, but was instead flipped over onto her back on the bed, one of Logan’s hands holding both of hers above her head. "Logan… I have to go now…" She whispered
"Just stay with me Jean"
"Logan, I can’t, I told the professor I’d help him look over Rogue’s medical file…"
He almost seemed to flinch at that, he released her and sat on the edge of the bed. "Go then…"
She was about to say something when she felt the hurt that he was feeling, she didn’t even have to read into his thoughts to see how sorry he was for what he’d done to Rogue. She got up and headed towards the door and with one last look at him sitting on the edge of the bed, back facing her, head hung slightly low, she sighed. How was she going to explain this to Scott? How was she going to explain this to herself? Before opening the door she did a mental search for anyone in the hall, finding no one she slipped out of his door and into the hall.

Charles had been sitting at his desk looking over the files from the med lab for hours now. He still couldn’t piece together the clues. The readings all showed that there was two distinct brainwaves functioning in Rogue’s mind, yet that wasn’t physically possible. The only way that could have been is if there had been a telepath at work, but only one as strong as him or possible even Jean could produce such an effect. He set the files down in their organized piles and rubbed the bridge of his nose. There was something he must have looked over, there just had to be. Hank had studied them all night and couldn’t figure it out either, what was the cause? How could it have happened? As he picked up the file once again, and glanced over it’s contents, he decided that he’d best talk with Jean. Scott had said that she’d been having nightmares again, maybe, just maybe that had something to do with it.
As Jean crept down the hallway she hoped with every fiber of her being that Scott wasn’t in the bedroom. As she opened the door and stepped inside she didn’t see him, letting out a sigh of relief, she finally let herself relax and walk over to her closet to figure out something to wear for the day. As she was grazing over her wardrobe she heard the door open behind her.
"Jean?" she heard Scott’s voice as he was opening the door.
"In here Scott" she stuck her hand out from the side of the closet door as she was fishing out her decided top.
"What are you doing in there?"
"Picking out what I’m going to wear today" she stepped out of the closet and held up the shirt to show him. "See".
Scott nodded his understanding and then sat down on the bed. "Where were you?"
Jean’s breath caught in her throat, she was glad that she’d turned to face the closet again. "What do you mean?"
"Where were you last night"
"I was in the-"
"And don’t say you were in the lab working, because I checked"
"Scott why are you asking me this?" she turned to face him a semi worried look crossing her face.
"Why are you getting so defensive?"
"Because you’re asking me a stupid question Scott… one that-"
"I’m asking you this Jean because for the last week, I’ve barely seen you. When I’m not working, you are, when I’m sleeping, you’re not… I don’t know what’s going on here." He said leaning his head slightly forward and rubbing the center of his forehead.
"Scott it’s just a little insomnia that’s all, after a while it’ll go away" Her voice began to shake and she had to turn to face the mirror to keep from shaking with nervous apprehension. "I have a lot on my mind right now and I don’t need this."
With a sigh Scott looked up a bit sternly. "You never answered my question Jean… where were you?".
"I was in the pool, doing laps hoping it might tire me out a little, then I watched a movie okay?" At that point she headed towards the bathroom and just before she turned to shut the door she added. "And if you can’t trust me on that Scott, then we have a problem…" and with that she shut the door just in time to hide the tears that began fall. She was torn, she loved Scott, but she discovered a love for Logan too… she didn’t know what to do and she didn’t have anyone she could go to for help.
Scott’s head hung a little lower. She’d lied to him, she looked him in the face and lied to him. He lingered on the bed a few minutes longer, enough to hear the shower start and Jean step in. He’d searched the place up and down last night when he discovered she wasn’t in bed and she wasn’t in the pool, and certainly not up watching a movie. As he stood up he decided he’d best have a talk with the professor. If anything he might be able to figure out a new problem to work on that might take his mind of his ‘other’ matters.

As Remy opened the bedroom door for Rogue she smiled at him for being such a gentlemen. Her crutches did put a damper on things but the idea of having Remy cater to her did give a slight plus side to her injury. Just as the two were about to get into the elevator they heard Alison’s unhappy yells.
"BOBBY! YOU BASTARD WHERE ARE YOU! YOU’LL PAY FOR THIS!" was all they heard before a still pajama clad Dazzler exited her room with a murderous look on her face. As she looked down the hallway she called out to the two. "Have you seen Bobby?" as she neared them they could see the slight red tint to her face that only sheer anger could produce.
"What be da problem petite?"
"The problem is that Bobby has frozen my bras…"
Gambit looked a bit confused and looked over at a chuckling Rogue.
"Ah cain’t believe that Bobby would do that? What did ya’ll do to deserve it?"
"I wouldn’t go swimming… so the bastard froze my bras!" She yelled as she stormed off heading for the stairs. Gambit still looked a bit confused and shook his head slightly his auburn locks shaking softly.
"Remy don’ understand what jus’ ‘appened…"
"Don’t worry hun, it’s just an old prank that boys used to pull, Ah didn’t think anyone ever did that anymore. Now we do have to get downstairs, ah’m supposed to be startin mah physical therapy today. Hank says ah’ll be walking around just fiane in a few days."
Remy just nodded as they stepped into the elevator and he pressed the down button.
"And den Remy gonna ‘ave a talk wit’ de Wolverine…"

Kitty walked down the hallway towards Piotr’s room once again still holding the full cup of coffee she was bringing with her for him. She didn’t even bother to knock on the door as she reached it, she just opened it and stepped inside. Seeing him still in bed, but now awake and reading the book he kept on the nightstand, she smiled as she closed the door and sat down on the bed next to him. He kept reading his book a moment longer, then closed it and smiled at her.
"I brought you some coffee" She said as she handed the cup out to him.
"Thank you Kitty" He replied as he took the cup but set it back down on the nightstand next to him "Dat vas very nice of you".
"You do drink coffee don’t you?" she questioned suddenly realizing that he might not.
"Not by habit no, but it vas still a nice gesture. Vat time is it?" he asked as he looked at the little clock by his bedside.
"About ten a.m." she said as she let a soft sigh escape her.
"Vat is wrong?" He asked her concern on his face.
"It’s just I can’t ever seem to do anything right…"
"Vat you mean by dat love?" he said pulling her into him on the bed, her head resting on his shoulder as he held her.
"Nothing, it’s just some petty little thing I beat myself up about that’s all."
"Vell I think you need to stop that" he said a smile showing in his voice as he reached down to her side and lightly tickled her. Hearing her shriek with shock and then start laughing, he proceeded to tickle her further until she got the better of him and wound up phazing herself though not only the bed (which was all she had intended to do), but also through the floor, only to land right on top of Bobby as he was walking through the lower hallway leaving Pete looking a bit confused as to what had just happened.
"Kitty?" He called searching through the bed sheets and then leaning his head over the edge to look under the bed but finding nothing. He then got off the bed and opened his door stepping out into the hallway. "Kitty?" she wasn’t there either. He walked down the distance of the hallway towards the stairs and called down them. "Kitty?"
"I’m okay Pete! I’ll be back up there in a few minutes!" he heard her shout back up very soft from the lower levels. He just shrugged and chuckled to himself as he walked back towards his room to finish dressing.
"Oh Bobby I am so sorry!" she said for the third time in five minutes as she helped him to stand up.
"Jeez, what is it with you girls today, are you all trying to get me?"
"I’m sorry Bobby, I really didn’t mean to, I didn’t even mean to go through the floor" She said as she stood up and looked up at the ceiling. "What do you mean by ‘all you girls’… who else fell on you from another story?"
"No one else fell on me, but Alison sorta… oh never mind."
"What did Alison do?" she said a sly smile crossing her face.
"Nothing, I don’t wanna talk about it…"
"Well now you have to!"
"Let’s just put it this way, In a few hours I’ll have a huge shiner" He said as Kitty finally took notice of the slightly purple bruise now forming around his right eye.
"You got beat up by a girl! How sad!"
"Well now I’m gonna go lock myself in my room so none of the rest of you can attack me." He said sulkily as she continued to chuckle to herself as she watched him walk off.
Kitty stood there for a moment still chuckling to herself, until she heard someone’s footsteps approaching and regained her composure.
"Vat is wrong vit Bobby?" He asked Kitty as she turned around.
"Nothing, he’s just having a sort of bad day."
"Vell I vas thinking dat ve might go make some breakfast"
"That sounds fabulous," she said as she walked towards him and taking his hand in her own walked toward the kitchen.
**********
Alison was very happy with how well Bobby had taken her reaction to his freezing her bras. When she’d snuck up on him, she had no idea what it was she was going to do to get back at him for the prank. That was until he’d turned around just as she got to him and on in instinct she’d punched him right in the face nailing his right eye hard enough to make her hand hurt. She smirked to herself as she scaled the stairs remembering the shocked and painful look that had crossed his face after she’d hit him. At least he’d known what it was for… she thought to herself as she spotted Scott walking down the hallway.
"Hey Scott! She called as she walked towards him seeing him turn to face her. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" She said as she grabbed hold of his arm and guided him to a corner of the long hallway where she pushed him up against the wall and leaned in and kissed him. Just after her lips made contact she was pushed away.
"Alison don’t do this…" He said as he pushed her away a bit further.
"Don’t you want me anymore?" She said in her best pouty tone.
"Look the other night… it wasn’t supposed to happen like that" He said as he let his guard down and she leaned into him.
"But it did happen Scott, that’s the point. If you hadn’t really wanted it, it wouldn’t have happened." She said as she began to paw him lightly and smiled as she saw his eyes close. She leaned in and kissed him again and this time she felt him kiss back, but then felt his arms push her away again.
"Alison I can’t do this… I just… can’t."
"So do I have to get you drunk for you to fuck me again?" she said as she stepped back. "I know you’re not getting any from Jean anymore with the way you went at it the other night. Hell I could barely even walk the next day!" She almost shouted in her sudden anger with him.
"Shhh! Alison, people can hear that"
"I don’t care Scott, perhaps they should hear it."
"Look Alison that was a week ago, I was very drunk, it hasn’t happened since, and if at all possible, it will not happen again." He said sternly to her as he crossed his arms over his chest. He hadn’t expected what came next.
*SLAP*
The sound could almost be heard down the hallway.
"You asshole" She hissed at him "Do you think I don’t have feelings? I was drunk too but I still knew what I was doing." She sighed feeling a bit bad for slapping him and leaned back into him, determined to break his will. "And all I know is that I want for it to happen again" She said as her right hand ran down his stomach and began to caress his dick through his jeans. "And it feels as though you wouldn’t mind it happening again either."
"Alison, I’m married…" he spoke through a hoarse voice, her hands sending shivers through his body just by the simple movement.
"I don’t care Scott, Jean is a good friend of mine… but I want you… now…" She whispered her mouth next to his ear.
Scott was lost in the feeling of her body against his and when her mouth made contact with his again, his will broke and he spun them around pushing her up against the wall and kissing her hard. He let the kiss linger before he broke it, "You do realize that this time I’m sober… don’t you?"
She smiled and licked her lips "Yes of course Scott, I’m not as blonde as I seem… meet me in my room in five minutes." She whispered the last part to him before slipping from between him and the wall. As he heard her footsteps recede down the hall he let his head rest on the wall.
"Scott what the hell are you doing… You’re married" he spoke to himself with a sigh "to a woman who hasn’t touched you in a month" he reminded himself before turning to take the same path down the hall as Alison did.
Just then Logan stepped around the corner and smirked as he saw Scott vanish down the hallway.
