The Power of Love:Scott/Jean

Disclamer:Marvel owns the X-Men

(Note:story takes place after a very intense mission where Jean saw some very

heartbreaking things)


Jean slipped into the room she shared with Scott,hoping he was asleep.The only thing on

her mind was the darkness of the minds she saw into during that days's mission.As Jean

tried to hold back the tears,Scott hear the muffled tears and got out of bed and went over

to Jean.Scott whispered in her ear,"What's wrong Red?".As Jean tried to tell Scott what

she had seen the feelings became too much to bear alone and soft yet painful tears started

to trickle down her cheek.Scott gently slipped his arm around her and whisped the only

thing he could tell her,"I'm here".Over the next two hours Scott tried to keep his own

heart from breaking as Jean cried on his shoulder.Every so often Scott could only whisper

soft I love you's into Jean's ear as the teardrops fell like rain.When they finally went to

bed,Jean let herself sink into the warmth of Scott's arms as he held her close to his heart.

As the teardrops became quiet sobs,Jean let her heart speak throught the link she and

Scott share,(I felt what she felt and it still hurts).Scott could only let his heart speak as he

whispered through the link,(You did what you could,just feel).At that moment Jean let

herself feel the waves of tenderness,understanding,and pure love wash over her heart as

Scott sent the waves throught the link they share.As Jean finally fell asleep in Scott's arms

he very tenderly kissed her on the cheek and whispered in her ear the one thing that would

help,"I love you".Right at that moment,Jean whispered back,"I love you just as

much".Scott knew all that Jean needed to recover from this mission was the one emotion

that was the purest of all,the power of true love.
