Disclaimer: Okay, I don't own any of these characters or Marvel (sigh).
Quick note: The words in "" are the song. I was watching X2 when this
little song ficlet hit me. While I was writing it, I decided to dedicate
it to a friend, who almost made the ultimate sacrifice. I wouldn't have
gotten to say thanks if she did. I hope she figures out who she is.

My Sacrifice
"Hello my friend, we meet again It's been a while, where should we begin? Feels like forever"
Scott missed Jean. You could see it in just about everything he did. Every time he closed his eyes he could see her.
"Within my heart are memories A perfect love that you gave to me Oh, I remember"
He did remember. Every time he pictured her in his mind he could feel her. From the time he first opened his eyes, to the last seconds of her life, he remembered every horrifying detail.
"Cause when you are with me I'm free. I'm careless, I believe Above all the others we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My sacrifice"
It was both their sacrifices. Both had to let go of each other, while still holding on. When Scott was near Jean, especially when he was younger, he was.different. His stone cold expression dropped. He was free.
"We've seen our share of ups and downs How quickly life can turn around In an instant It feels so good to realize Within yourself and within your mind Let's find peace there"
Then there was Logan. They acted like they hated each other but that wasn't true. They had more in common then most thought. Logan changed everything rather suddenly. Life turned upside down.
"Cause when you are with me I'm free. I'm careless, I believe Above all the others, we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My sacrifice"
Sometimes, things came rushing back to him. Things he wanted to forget. But couldn't. He wanted to forget the bad time, yet wanted to remember every moment he had with Jean.
"Cause when you are with me I'm free. I'm careless, I believe Above all the others, we'll fly This brings tears to my eyes My sacrifice"
Scott wasn't a very religious person. After everything that happened, he lost any type of faith whatsoever. Kurt once told him that faith will help you survive. It's true. Scott would survive. No matter how long it took.
