Tensions Rise

As soon as the door to Jean's room opened, both Wolverine and Cyclops look at each other.

"You stay out here while I go meet Jean," Cyclops says to Wolverine.

"Jack-shit, bub, I'm going to be the one who approaches her first," Wolverine responds, growling at Cyclops.

After a brief silence both men attempt to rush through the door, only to get themselves stuck in between the door's frame. After a minute grunts, shoves and struggles, both of them pop inside of the room simultaneously. Both men look around for any sign of Jean within her room…

…but found nothing.

"Damn…where could she be?" Wolverine says.

"I don't know…she should be here in her room…she told me to wait for her here…" Cyclops says.

"Well, until she comes, I'll just make myself cozy," Wolverine says, walking toward Jean's clothes dresser.

"What are you doing?" Cyclops says to Wolverine, raising an eyebrow.

"What does it look like, Sherlock? I'm checking out her wares and accessories," Wolverine responds as he opened up the top drawer and pulls out a pair of panties. "Wow, now these are hot!"

"Put those away! What if Jean walks in here at this very moment?" Cyclops says.

"You're a damn sissy, you know that? Here, you take them then," Wolverine says, tossing the pair of panties at Cyclops's head.

As if on cue, Jean Grey suddenly walks through the door and into her room, stopping when she sees both men standing in her bedroom.

"Wolverine? Cyclops? What are you two doing in my room…and are those my panties?!" Jean says to Cyclops, completely shocked. "Whose idea was this?" she now says angrily.

Both men pointed an accusing finger at each other, with Cyclops's face turning beet red from embarrassment.

Jean sighs.

"Whatever. Just meet me out in the car when one of you are ready," Jean says as she turns around and hastily leaves the room.

"Now look what you've done, embarrassing me like that!" Cyclops mutters to Wolverine.

"Hey! I wasn't he one holding the goods when she walked in, now wasn't I?" Wolverine protests.

"You're a dick, you know that?" Cyclops says as he left the room.

"Don't think this isn't over yet! Jean will by mine tonight!" Wolverine calls back, leaving the room shortly afterwards.
