Diclaimer: I don't own X-Men Evolution, unfortunately, cause if I did it would still be on TV. Anyway, it belongs to Marvel and WB.
It's been a few months since Jean and Duncun broke up. She was very glad she told him it was over. And the good thing is that she was planning on doing so for so long. On her first day back to school, after all the chaos of the mansion being destroyed and then being reconstructed, she figured it would be a great time to break the news. Of course his stupid comment on her powers pushed her to tell him much sooner. She would have waited until lunch otherwise.
Now she's very happy to be free of him and the control he had over her. She never told anyone how he treated her. She was scared to death to say a word. Even now that she's away from him she is still shook up from his abuse. Her and Scott had just began to date and she knows she should share the bad news with him but she just can't. She also knows that he has an idea that her ex wasn't too good to her. But he doesn't know the half of it.
Jean was now in her room waiting for Scott to come in. They had to do a project for their senior year. Even though it was different they figured they'd work on them together incase one or the other needed some help. They were pretty much the same with all their assignments.
She heard someone coming down the hall. Finally, she thought. It was indeed Scott. He walked in her room and went over to her bed then sat beside her.
"So what's up?" he asked.
"Nothing, just sitting here. I'm glad you finally showed up Scott because there is something we must talk about. I don't know how to tell you though." she explained.
"You know you can tell me anything hon." he assured her.
"Yeah, you're right. What am I afraid of. I mean, you and I are together now and I really shouldn't be keeping this from you." she said not even looking at him.
"What is it? Is it something to do with Duncun? He isn't bothering you, is he?" he asked as he stood up.
"Well he hasn't been bothering me a lot. Sometimes he'll call me names in school but I've gotten use to that. So he isn't bothering me." she said looking at Scott.
"Why does he have to be such an asshole? I never liked that creep. Did he ever hurt you Jean?" he said getting a bit angry.
"Well...um...sort of..." she stammered.
"What he hell did he do to you?!" he yelled.
"Calm down. It's over and done with. Let's work on our projects and we'll talk afterwards. You need some time to calm yourself." she said grabbing his hand with one hand and patting the bed beside her with the other.
"Okay, I guess. But you better tell me everything after this because I know something is up. And I won't be completely happy until I find out what." he said sitting back down beside her.
Then Scott gave Jean a small peck on the lips and they began working on their assignments.
A few minutes later the phone rang. Kitty walked part way up the steps and yelled for Jean to pick up her bedroom phone. Jean got the phone and told Kitty through the receiver that she had it. Kitty hung up downstairs.
"Hello." Jean said.
"Hey there whore. You better not say a word to anyone about what I did to you. If you do...I'll make sure you pay greatly." it was Duncun.
"Go to hell!!!" she screamed and hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" Scott said confused.
"It was my ex. He's threatening me again." Jean said looking quite scared and as if she were about to cry.
"Damn him. Why can't he leave you alone? Wait...he's threatening you...again? He's threatened you? About what? Please tell me." Scott said still looking puzzled.
"I really want to tell you. I'm just scared. He'll hurt me." she said starting to cry.
Scott pulled her into his arms and rocked her. He kissed her on the top of her head and stroked her hair.
"I will never let him lay one finger on you. Just tell me. You may feel a little better." he said still comforting her.
"Okay. He use to hit me and he forced me to do it to him...a lot." she said softly through tears.
"That bastard! He will pay for hurting you. One of these days. No wonder you were afraid of me touching you. Oh Jean, I am so sorry. I wish I could change the past and heal your pain." he said holding her tighter.
"I love you." she said.
"I know, I love you, too. And I will never stop. I will never hurt you...ever. We will work this out together. I promise. And I'll try not to let him know you told me because I don't wanna cause you anymore pain. Plus if he hurts you again he may never do anything again." he said as a tear streamed down his right cheek.
She felt it on her forehead and she looked up at him. She pressed her lips to his and they kissed for a few minutes. They never let go of each other. And even when their kiss ended they stayed in each other's arms for hours until they evenually fell asleep.
