Chapter 4: Laura Goes Shopping
Logan got in the x-van along with Kitty, Piotr, Illyana, Kurt, Gambit and Rogue. They had all invited themselves except for Piotr who only went after Kitty begged him to go.
Rogue was angry because before they left Remy had stolen all her underwear.
"Look chere don't get mad Remy will buy you all da underwear you want ok," Remy sat next to Rogue, "beside it's not like they was nice, all of dem were black, and you should try red."
"I hate you swamp rat, I swear if Logan wasn't taking us shopping I would knock you out."
Besides them both arguing, the whole way everyone remained peaceful and talked to each other, except for Logan and Laura who were at the front.
"Well kid I ain't got much but make sure you buy at least five sets of clothes, some sweaters and anything else you might need if you don't know what to buy tell Stripes and Half-pint to help you."
Laura looked to forward she didn't understand why she had to dress like everyone else.
They finally reached the mall; Logan was already fed up.

Meanwhile in the mansion Charles and Ororo talked to Warren and Betsy about the responsibilities they would have.
"Remember the students here must gain your trust and you must be able to show them you are trustworthy."
Jean and Scott came in with a stack of paper.
"Professor we have just finished making all our lessons for this year."
"Scott and I were wondering if in one of the lessons everyone would be able to participate."
"Of course Jean, just tell us when and we'll have it arranged."
"That's the thing professor we were hoping it would be for tomorrow's lesson," Scott said nervously, "I know you wanted Warren and Betsy to give their lesson but we were hoping we could give it instead."
"Well you'll have to ask them." Scott and Jean turned to Warren and Betsy and they both said yes.
"Alright thanks." Scott and Jean turned to leave but then Scott's cell phone rang.
"Hello o hi Taryn, well no I wasn't really expecting you to call, look I can't sorry."
Jean got jealous "so what did she want?"
"Nothing, to go out, I said no, come on let's get everything ready."
Jean's eyes began to glow and she started to get a huge headache.
"Jean are you all right?"
Jean falls to her knees, "Scott my head, oh god it hurts," everything around them began to float; the Professor went towards Jean.
"Jean calm down ok, Scott is right here," Scott held her hand tighter, "fight it you can do it, you always have been able to."
Jeaned yelled, flames in the shape of wings formed around her, she began to fly and yelled louder.
"Jean, Jean, Jean," Scott tried to hold on to her not knowing what else to do, Jean yelled again and fell.
"Hey it's me you're ok everything is going to be ok you're safe," Scott held her in his arms, "I'm going to take her to rest."
Scott walked out carrying Jean he takes her to her room. "Scott don't leave me, please don't ever leave me."
"I'm right here, I promise I won't," he kisses her forehead and gets ready to leave.
"Stay, please, I don't want to be alone."
Scott goes back to her and lies down next to her and they fall asleep together.

"Warren seeing as how jean and Scott won't be able to join us for dinner why don't you and Elizabeth prepare dinner." The both agreed.
Warren and Betsy left so that Ororo and Charles could be alone.
"She is losing control, Storm when I probed her mine I saw it there fighting to get out; she almost did let it come out."
"But I thought the barriers in her mind kept it in."
"I'm afraid those barriers are being broken," Charles hesitated for a moment, "in my vision, it did come out, and it cost the lives of many."
"What do we do then, we can't just abandon her, and leaving her here is risking all the other students' lives."
"We must find a way to get it under control."
"What if we got rid of it?"
"No, if we kill it Jean dies too, it is a part of her."
"What choices do we have then?"
"I don't know but for now Scott has helped Jean keep it inside."
"Then I assume we let them be together as much as possible?"

Laura, Kitty, Rogue and Illyana all went into a store to help Illyana and Laura.
"Illyana remember that I don't have a lot of money."
"Ok Piotr, I won't spend a lot."
"Gambit you ain't going in so I suggest you stop stocking stripes got it bub."
"Nah, don't worry I won't." Remy went with Logan, and waited outside the store.
"I hate malls, and to top it off I get stuck with you."
"Aw come on Logan ve not so bad."
"Kurt why exactly did you come, all of us got pulled into it but you just came by yourself."
"Well you see, funny thing happen," Kurt started to get nervous, "the reason is 'cause oh men, you're going to find out anyways."
"Spit it out bub." Kurt sighed deeply.
"I was wondering if I could go off on my own and in an hour or two meet again."
"Were are you going off to?" Kurt smiled nervously but as he was about to respond, Wanda passed by.
"You brought them along? I knew this was a joke, Kurt you jerk!"
Wanda hexed him and began to run, "Wanda wait, it's not like that. I was gana ditch them."
Logan grabbed Kurt by the collar of his shirt, "mind explaining me what that was all about and my answer would have been no, I swear bub if you take one more step towards that store I will rip your head off," Logan says as he turns to Remy.
"Grrr where the hell is tin man?"
"Well that's what Remy was gana do mon ami, I was gana get Pete back, Kitty snatched him in."
"Grr I'm gana want a very good answer after this Kurt," Logan lets Kurt go, "come on lets go get tin man."

Laura had never been to a mall, there were so many different types of clothes.
Kitty and Rogue helped her and Illyana get clothes. It was clear the clothes Laura liked since most of the ones she chose Rogue picked out for her.
"Are you sure you don't want this skirt?" Kitty pointed to a small light blue skirt. At first, she was mad Laura refused her clothes but Illyana did not.
"Here Illyana you try it." She handed her the skirt and Illyana looked worried.
"Kitty I really like the clothes but I'm not sure I can buy it."
"Don't worry will get you three outfits and what you can't buy I will." Kitty smiled.
Piotr remained in the back, embarrassed that Kitty had snatched him in.
"Kayta I don't think I should be here."
"Like don't worry ok, besides if Mr. Logan asks, you came to pay ok."
It wasn't that Piotr was worried about Logan, he was just too embarrassed to be there looking at Kitty trying on clothes.
Kitty came out with a small denim skirt, "so like what do you thing Pete, do I look ok?"
Piotr blushed and almost wished he were metal so she would not notice how red he was.
Logan, Kurt and Remy walked in, "what are you doing here?"
"I- ah-I came to pay for Kayta's skirt- I mean Kayta's clothes, no wait for Illyana, we can go." Piotr was red like a tomato Remy and Kurt started to laugh.
He began to leave, "bub aren't you forgetting something?" Logan pointed to Illyana.
"Right I must pay." Kurt and Remy laughed harder.
"Hey chere don't want Remy to give you a hand with trying some of your clothes?"
"No swamp rat, so don't you even dare get close to me."
In the end, Laura managed to get several skirts in black and grey, as well as different types of pants and jeans and tights. Logan forced her to buy shoes so she chose some boots, and some converse. She also found a few jackets she liked as well as gloves thanks to Rogue.
"Well are we ready to head back?" Logan looked exhausted; he wanted to go home. They all got in the x-van and went home to dinner.
