The plot continues to unfold.

This will have a mini time skip.

Warning: dark chapter. Attempted suicide.

I no own franchise. Darn it.

Blinded:

Lance watched Scott wake up. He was surprised at how natural it was for Scott to reach for his glasses before opening his eyes. Did he really have such a lack of control that, without glasses, blindness was the only option? If he did he's weaker than any of the Brotherhood realised. The thing that shocked Lance most was the fact that Scott 'perfect boy' Summers looked ashamed.

The day moved on and, after an explanation and a small lecture, Scott was allowed to go to his room. Everything began to go back to normal, or Xavier institute normal, at least.

24 Hour Time Skip

.

Lance was walking down the corridor. He was bored. Kitty had gone out with some of the girls and most of the boys were out somewhere doing something. He had no idea what.

There was an ear-piercing scream.

Without thinking he ran to the source of the scream: Scott's room.

Jean was standing frozen and telekinetically holding a blooded knife. Scott was unconscious on the bed. Lance ran and using the pillow cases began to cover the cut and stem the flow of blood.

Logan ran in a second later and helped Lance take Scott to Hank in the med-lab. Jean was still standing there with shock on her face but the knife dropped.

.

Lance had to wait outside the room Scott had been put in so he watched the others help Jean. She was in a state of shock, not from what Scott had tried to do but from the psychic impact it had on their link. Oh, apparently they had a psychic link.

Lance was baffled. Why would Scott Summers attempt suicide? He was a straight A student with a girlfriend who had a psychic link because their love was so strong and he lived in a mansion. He had everything. Lance would have given anything for Scott's life when he was younger. The guy was so lucky and he took all of it for granted. It sickened Lance.

His parents had died when he was seven and he had been in the foster system ever since. He had been bullied for years. This school was his lucky break. Summers had lived at the school for longer than anyone else and had a great life. The only people who picked on him were Duncan's people because Duncan had been dating Jean before and the guy hated Summers with a passion.

.

It was about three hours later when the professor called everyone to say they were going on a mission. Unfortunately, someone would have to stay with Scott.

Jean was about to say she would when the professor said, "We are going after a lead on Nathanial Essex. For those of you who don't know he is a scientist who experiments on mutants.."

Jean and Logan instantly looked determined and to his surprise Jean decided she was going after Essex.

"I'll stay." He didn't realise he had spoken until the words were out of his mouth.

Xavier nodded and they left. Lance went back to the infirmary and sat by Scott's bed.

Scott was going to explain to him why he was so ungrateful and this was the perfect opportunity.

Lance waited.
