Prologue:
Scott rolls off of Jean sweaty from their lovemaking. Jean starts to get up to go to the restroom when Scott grabs her arm.
"So were you thinking of him the entire time or just part of it?" Scott asks disgustedly.
"What are you talking about, Scott?"
"Don't lie Jean. We've been together long enough now that I would know when you're not really into it. Its Logan isn't it? I've seen the way you are around him."
"Okay first of all Scott last time I checked you weren't telepathic. So please don't act like you know what I am thinking. Second I have been sick. You know that I have just gotten over strep throat and a sinus infection. Sorry if I wasn't pleasing you." Jean scoffs. By now she has gotten infuriated at Scott.
"Just tell me this Jean. Tell me that you aren't in love with him. That nothing is going on between the two of you."
"You know what I'm not doing this again…not tonight." Jean pulls on her gray sweat pants and the pink tank, pulling her hair up into a messy ponytail. She knows that she looks a mess but figures no one will be up at this hour to see. She slams the door leaving Scott to sulk in their room alone. She walks the halls not entirely sure of where she is heading. She starts to the kitchen but then decides not too since there is normally a kid in there getting a midnight snack. She considers going to see Ororo but she knows that the weather goddess has early classes in the morning. So instead she heads to the only other place she can think of the danger room, only to find it already in use.
Wolverine jumps through the air landing right in front of Sabertooth his claws already out. They slash at each other, both expertly avoiding the others claws. The fight appears as if it could go on forever had Wolverine not smelt somebody outside of the danger room door. Sabertooth's claws run straight through Wolverine's gut as a computer voice calls out "Simulation terminated…objective failed" The door opens to reveal a pissed off red head.
"Are you going to be all night Logan?"
"Well Jeannie I didn't know anyone was waiting on me to finish. Why are you down here? Its after midnight. Did you and ol one eye have another fight?"
"What do you mean another?" Jean asked knowing all too well that Wolverine had probably heard them fight night after night. And that the probably knew all the fights were about him.
"Aw come on Red. I hear yall fussing nearly bout every night now. You know I think its time you leave the kid and get with someone past puberty."
"And that would just make you sooooooo happy wouldn't it. If we broke up." Jean asked halfway flirting.
Logan closes the distance between them. He is almost close enough to kiss her, and leans into but doesn't.
"Not nearly as happy as I could make you darling" This time Logan does close the gap kissing Jean fully but softly on the lips lingering for only a moment before backing up again. Jean looks at him shocked and slightly aroused.
"Logan, I love Scott. I always will."
"Even though he doesn't trust you?"
"Logan it is you he doesn't trust."
"But if you weren't interested he would have nothing to worry about now would he? Come on Jeannie admit it. You want me almost as much as I want you."
"No Logan I can't."
"Then why are you here?"
"Last time I checked the danger room was open to all the x-men and most of the students"
"Yeah but you know I'm the only one that uses it this time of night. Admit it Red you were looking for me." This time it is Jean who moves in and kisses Logan much deeper than the one he gave her. She leans back after a few moments, breathless.
"Maybe you're right maybe I was looking for you." They return to kissing much more passionately then before. Logan can hardly believe this is happening. But before he can even really think about it both of their clothes lie in a strewn around the danger room. Jean awakens early the next morning curled up against Logan, naked in the danger room. She moves so smoothly and quietly trying not to wake up the sleeping man next to her. Carefully putting back on her sweats and pulling her hair up. She heads out the door to the garden where she collapses on the ground crying. Thankful that nobody is awake yet.
A voice appears inside of her head "Jean I need to see you in my office please"
Jean arrives at the professors office her hand trembling as she hesitates at the door. "Come in please Jean" The professor's voice appears in her head. Jean opens the door and walks in standing in front of the professor's desk. "You wanted to see me?" Jean asks nervously. She knows that the professor is aware of her night with Logan.
"Yes Jean please have a seat. It has come to my attention that there have been some problems between you and Scott lately. I believe that Logan lies at the center of these problems. Now I'm not one to meddle into my student's or colleges personal lives. But the two of you are like my kids. I am concerned about you."
"Yes professor Scott has been extremely jealous of any time I spend with Logan. Until last night that jealousy was completely unfounded."
"Now Jean please do not lie to me or yourself. I know that you did not sleep with Logan until last night but I also know that you have been thinking and dreaming about him a lot."
"I just don't understand it. I love Scott I really do. It's just that well…I love Logan also. I don't know what to do anymore."
"Jean this is exactly what I have been afraid of happening. I personally think you would be better off with Scott, but then I am a little biased and I do know that Logan can be a good guy also. He just has to look deeper into himself. I hate to see any of you hurting and as long as things continue like this that is what will happen. After all they both love you and hate each other. I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to come to some sort of decision. I would hate for any of you to get careless on a mission and endanger yourself or others. "
"I don't know if I can professor. Maybe before last night if Logan had left but now it is just too hard. I can't choose."
"Which is why I think that you should take a few months off, by yourself. Go to Paris and visit the Eiffel tower. I know how you have wanted to see it. We will be fine. I can get Hank to fill in for you while you're gone. The time off would help clear your head, help you to decide what exactly it is that you want. I of course will fund the entire trip…so don't worry about that."
"I can't just leave like that. What would everybody think?"
"I can tell the others that I have sent you on an undercover mission and that you can't contact us until it is finished. That is if you decide to go."
Jean hesitates for a minute and then says "Maybe I should go. Some time off would be nice. If I stay I will only push Scott further away. And I would hate to be with Logan just because Scott left. You know what I will do it."
"Great your plane leaves in a hour."
"That's not enough time to pack! You didn't even know if I would agree or not."
"I was certain that you would Jean and if you didn't I was going to go myself. So the ticket would not be wasted. As for packing don't worry about it. You can buy you some new clothes when you land you deserve them. You might want to clean up a bit first though. You can use my bathroom. I wouldn't want Scott to see the mark on your neck."
Jean's hand goes up to her neck to hide the mark mentally cussing Logan for leaving it and thanking the professor for being so understanding.
Jean leaves without telling either guy that she is going. Charles gives them both a cover story assuming that Jean will be back in a couple of months. The couple of months turn into two years and when she does arrive it is with her new boyfriend, a mutant with x-ray vision named Paul. Her and Paul do not last he is gone within a month. However Jean does not go back to Scott or to Logan. Instead she avoids both as much as possible. Seven years pass from the time of Jean's return. Various mutants have been defeated by the X-Men and various relationships started and ended. Emma Frost came back shortly but left after he and Scott broke up. Logan left and returned five times. Jean had a few boyfriends but no real relationships. Ororo married Kurt and is expecting their first child. Rogue learned how to control her mutation and her and Bobby make out all over the mansion. John is dating Kitty. All is well in the mansion until Xavier calls everyone in for a briefing…
