The X-van rolled silently on the snow-ridden road. Even the tire chain's clinking was hardly recognizable. Then again, the blizzard's brutal winds covered up any sound besides speech. At least they could see out the windows! The surroundings were a lot clearer than expected, too.

"I'm just worried, Scott. I don't know why." Jean looked out the window.

Scott scooted closer to her and hesitated to put his arm around her. He always loved her, but it was just… he couldn't explain it. He just wasn't good with relationships like this. Scott wasn't oblivious and he wasn't a telepath, yet he knew when she needed him. He then hugged her.

"Shhhh-shh. I'm here, Jean." He said. Her head fell on his shoulder.

Toad bounced up the stairs. "Yo, P'etro! Grub's on the table downstairs!"

"Pietro?" Todd opened the door. The window was open and no one was there. "Oh… nah, this can't be good, yo."

BACK IN THE X-VAN

Jean jumped up, startled.

"What?" Scott asked.

"Stop the van."

"Wha? Why?"

"Now." She ordered.

Storm, who was driving, stopped. Jean ran out of the vehicle.

"Storm! Slow the blizzard!"

"JEAN! What did I do!"

Jean gasped. She gave him an incredibly apologetic and covered her gaping mouth. "No, no… I'm sorry, Scott. It was definitely not you. I'm sorry. It's just-"

"What, Jean?"

"Someone's here."
