I DO NOT OWN X-MEN. THE FOLLOWING IS STRICTLY FAN FICTION.
I would love reviews and feedback if you have the chance. Thanks!
When looking at the colours that represent the seven deadly sins, green represents envy. If people turned green every time they became jealous Scott Summers would be an emerald colour. He watched as Jean Grey laughed, revealing her beautiful smile. At any other moment he would have been thrilled to see her so happy, but not at this moment. He frowned as he watched Logan entertain her, making it harder for her to breathe between the constant outbursts. Scott narrowed his eyes at them, curiosity filling him up as he stared wondering what he could possibly be saying to her. He spent a few moments debating on whether or not to approach them and strategically interrupt the conversation without them discovering his intentions. Finally he made his decision, he would go.
He walked as casually as he could, over towards them and smiled as he got close, "hello."
"Oh Scott!" Jean laughed, grabbing his arm, "you have to hear Logan's story."
"Maybe another time," Logan replied to her.
"Actually I'd like to hear it," Scott said.
"I said maybe another time."
Jean watched them exchange a harsh and narrow eyed expression. She stopped smiling and sighed, "I'd best be off."
The two men watched her walk off, Logan grinned and looked at Scott, "jealous?"
"Of you? Of course not."
"Sure," Logan said.
Scott grabbed his arm and turned him to face him, "what's that supposed to mean?"
Logan looked at him and hit Scott's arm so that he was forced to release his hold on him. He simply grinned, "nothing, and don't touch me."
The two of them bickered until they entered the main hallway of the school when they stopped and smiled, trying to be civilized in front of them, both forgetting she could read their minds. She could sense their hatred and hear their insults they were secretly exchanging. She ignored what she heard and continued towards them.
Jean smiled as she headed up to them, "hey, I need one of you to watch my class. Storm and I are going out for a few hours, we have to locate someone."
"I'll do it," both men said simultaneously. They looked at each other angrily and frowned.
"You've never taught before," Scott said to him.
"Don't you have a class of your own to annoy?" Logan shot back.
Jean sighed, and rolled her eyes, "I don't care which one of you does it. Why don't you work together? Get to know each other."
"Not going to happen," the looked at each other again frowning.
Jean shook her head and walked away, she knew one of them would definitely be watching her class, she was just curious to figure out which man it was.

"I don't understand it," Jean told her friend as they headed into a massive building where the mutant was apparently located. "They just can't stop. It's almost like an addiction."
"Well Logan likes you and Scott's afraid to loose you," Storm replied.
"But I won't leave him."
"He doesn't know that."
"He should," Jean sighed as she stopped in her tracks; she turned to face Storm and gave her an odd look, "something is wrong."
"What do you mean?"
Jean slowly walked further into the building, listening for the mutant's thoughts. They were close, very close, and not happy. They were planning something; it was the something that she couldn't figure out. They were hiding their thoughts from her which definitely was not good.
"Storm be careful."
Storm nodded as she followed Jean with percussion, watching her back. They began to get worried as they heard the mutant moving, the problem was they were not quite sure where they were moving, they were so quick. So very-
"Storm!" Jean yelled as she heard a crash and saw her friend go flying across the room, hitting into the concrete wall. Jean rushed over to help her unconscious friend. "Storm? Storm?"
She looked up as the three hundred pound, six foot eight mutant approached her with a harsh and sturdy expression, "I think you should co-operate unless you want to end up like your friend."
"Storm?" Jean shook her. When Ororo did not move she looked back up at the mutant, "What do you want?"
"I want a lot of things, but I don't want you. I'm just a servant. I'm here to have you delivered."
"Delivered to whom?"
"I don't know, like I said, I just do the work and get the reward."
Jean gulped and tried to wake Storm up and frowned when she couldn't. Oh god, what was she going to do?
