Love Conquers All
Authors Note: Another Jean/Rogue fic! I don't want to say to much about this story since I don't want to ruin anything…all I can say is that this story will have something to do with time travel and possibilities for Marie's future…that's all I can say.
Rating: 'M' because I'm not sure how much swearing or F/F I'm going to have in this story, if I end up not having anything that bad then I'll bump the rating down to 'T'.
Warnings: This story contains femslash, may contain a few swearwords like 'shit' and possible more in future chapters.

Gazing out into the distance to study the ongoing scenes playing out in the distance, the young woman sits under the tree's strong, protective stature, from where rays of sunshine fall as beams of purifying light through the gaps between the branches of the great oak tree. Children move their energetic bodies in chase of the round, black and white octagonal ball, their laughter filling the young woman's ears as she watches them play their joyous game of soccer.
'A loud scream of agonizing pain echoes through the room. The darkness of the area catches the screams of pain as the form of a man lays in his strange prison while the shadowy forms of men watch over him. His eyes frantically move across the room, as fear and pain cover his senses. What's going wrong? It shouldn't be 'this' painful! Something's wrong…it's too late to get out of it now. I must hold… The man screams in agony at the feeling of scalpels piercing through his skin in a straight line down the markings of his body. Blood bleeds out of the wounds as the men, carrying the scalpels in their hands, focus to line their blades up against the straight markings of ink lines on the man's body. Careful not to make a wrong cut, careful not to make a mistake that would detriment the project indefinitely.'
She watches in silence, closing her eyes in the hopes to control the ongoing feeling of another person's presence in her mind. "Logan this time, Ithink?"the young woman comments as she struggles to suppress the feeling of the man's rough personality mixing with hers.
She keeps her eyes closed, trying desperately to control the urge to think back to a 'very' intimate and personal fantasy involving a certain fellow X-Men. I should really take an honest to God attempt to block 'that' image. What would Jean say if she were to know that Logan seems to have a Victoria Secret Lingerie fetish? She grins in amusement. Come to think of it, what would Jean say if she knew I was more than enjoying those fantasies? I think I am enjoying them a little too much. It's kinda strange to be thinking of your teacher and fellow X-Men like that…kinda wrong, but I kinda don't care. Well, it's not like she's ever going to notice these thoughts of mine, no mater how X-rated they are…she's too busy thinking of Scott and how she can fix their broken relationship. Marie grins mischievously at the thought of no Scott. I feel kinda bad for Scott though. I mean, if it weren't for Scott finding out about that kiss between Logan and Jean…then that whole mutant on mutant fight wouldn't have happened. I guess I feel kinda bad for Scott. For one thing, it sucks to find out that another man kissed your girl while you were away. Secondly, it's an entirely different thing to lose your 'revenge' fight to the same guy. He took it really hard, poor Scott. Well, at least Jean's single. Ok, why am I suddenly so happy that she's single? Maybe it's time to think about something else…
"Is everything ok, Marie?" the smooth voice of Jean Grey asks.
"What? Oh yeah, yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" Marie replies, desperately trying to calm her beating heart as well as the sudden urge to grab Jean by the back of her head and place a kiss that would blow her away.
Come on, Marie, control yourself, Marie thinks.
"Well, the bell rang five minutes ago and you're grinning," Jean replies with a grin of her own.
"I was grinning? And the bell rang five minutes ago!" Marie exclaims as she moves to stand on her feet.
"Yeah, not a big deal…but whatever made you grin, now that would be a big deal," Jean replies in amusement, following the young woman back into the school.
"So, what were you thinking about…or should I ask, 'who' were you thinking about?"
"No one..!" Marie exclaims in shock.
Jean let out a chuckle of amusement. "Oh, come on, you can tell me…who's the lucky guy?" Jean asks as she nudges the young woman in an attempt to get Marie to confess.
"No one, Miss Grey…" Marie replies trying to fight back another urge to grab Jean's ass. Ok, I seriously need to get Logan out of my head! Marie thought just as Jean replies in disbelief.
"Come on, Marie…I know it's been only a week since you and Bobbi broke up and all, but seriously, you need to get yourself into another loving relationship. It'll be good for you. And don't tell me you're not interesting in anyone, I know that grin of yours. It was definitely not an innocent grin…you like someone."
The two women then enter the school and casually walk down the hallways as they continue on with their conversation.
"I'm afraid not, Ms. Grey," Marie replies as Jean places her hand on the younger woman's shoulder. The two now stand in the middle of the hallway, with Jean's hand placed casually on Marie's shoulder and Marie trying to fight back both a blush and another urge to hold Jean.
"You're a very beautiful young woman, Marie…and if it's one thing I know, it's that there's no way that a girl as beautiful as you will be single for long. So, if you're not going to tell me who the lucky guy is, then I guess I'm gonna have to figure it out myself," Jean finishes, raising her chin in triumph while Marie finds it hard not to chuckle at the strange playful mood that Jean seems to be in today.
Believe me, Jean, a part of me wants you to know the truth,Marie thinks as she moves to follow Jean the rest of the way down the hallway.
"So what class are you off to?" Jean asks, turning to grin at the young woman beside her.
"English," Marie replies, returning Jean's a grin.
"English, right…with Ms. Munroe, right..?" Jean asks. Marie gently nods her head.
Marie looks away for a moment to study the hallway that holds photos of all the graduated students from the prior years. Both women seem to be enjoying the silence, and it is only by the unintentional brush of hands that bring the two back to reality.
"Sorry," Jean says, smiling at a mildly taken aback Marie.
"That's ok," Marie manages to reply, while trying to control the bad ideas circulating in her mind. No, Marie, don't do it! Don't even think about grabbing her hand…that's totally flirting! She'll get pissed! Marie thinks as she returns her gaze to the graduation photos on the wall. Not a moment later, Marie almost jumps at the feel of Jean's hand entwining with hers. What's she doing? Marie thinks as she brings her attention back to the smiling features of Jean Grey.
"Very interesting…" Jean comments.
Marie gulps at the comment before managing to ask, "What's interesting?"
Jean continues to smile at the young woman as she replies, "You're hands are warm—from what I can tell that is..."
Oh my God…why is she looking at me like that? That's definitely flirtatious…or do I want it to be? Marie thinks as Jean chuckles at the strange look on the younger woman's face. Marie quickly snaps out of her trance to ask, "What do you mean?" Jean smiles at the young woman and begins to squeeze her a little tighter as she begins to playfully swing the entwined hands back and forth.
Marie could feel the effects of Jean's playfulness run through her body as she tries to control the even more powerful urge to force the woman against the wall and kiss her. But luckily for Marie, that didn't happen.
"Warm hands? Well, when a person has warm hands, it means that they have a big heart…means there is a great and caring person with lots of love to give and to receive," Jean explains.
Marie struggles to keep her somewhat shaky legs moving. "Is that so?" she replies, suddenly brought to the attention of heat pooling between her thighs. Damn it, it's getting a little hot in here, Marie thinks.
Jean once again interrupts her thoughts. "Well, it's either that or you're just really hot," Jean states with a smirk.
What did she just say! Marie asks herself, forcing her eyes to peer into the beautiful eyes of Jean Grey. Oh my God! Is she really flirting with me?
Jean unexpectedly stops. "This is my stop, Marie. I'll see you around, I hope." With that, Jean leaves the hallway and enters her classroom.
Oh my God…she's not making this crush any easier for me. It's almost as if she wants me- now wait a minute, Marie, this could just be nothing, Marie thinks as she continues her way to her English class. As she rounds the corner to get to her locker, she continues on with her thoughts of the previous moments. There's no way Jean would like me in that way. I thought life would be less complicate if it were just an unknown student crush on her older and sexier teacher. Marie continues her walk back to her classroom with her books now in her hands. Storm's going to kill me for being late. What will be my excuse? Marie ponders as she is about to enter her English class. Well, how about this? 'Sorry for being late, Ms. Munroe, but Ms. Grey preoccupied me by making me want to screw her in the hallways… Yeah, that'll be a good one. Save that quote for the yearbooks! Marie thinks in sarcasm, now entering her classroom and going to sit in her seat at the back of the room.
"You may give me you're excuses after class, Ms. D'Ancanto," Storm comments as she waits a moment longer before continuing on with the lesson.
Authors Note: The story takes place not long after X-Men 1. And since Marie absorbed Logan in X-Men 1, she currently possesses some of his memories. Just wanted to state why Marie was having this weird flashback and whose flashback it previously belonged to.
