AN: So let's see how we go on from there. ... :) Hope you still like it though.
Look into my eyes - you will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart, search your soul
And when you find me there you'll search no more

A few hours later Jean was laying in bed in Logan's room. She had healed pretty fast but Hank had ordered her bed rest until the next morning just to be sure she was really fine.
She had her reading glasses on and was reading a magazine as Logan entered the room with a beer and a glass of water for her.
"What are you reading?", he asked eyeing her magazine, "thought you'd read about the latest fashion stuff you missed."
"Actually it's about", Jean started to explain but then stopped, "you wouldn't get it if I try to tell you what's it about."
Logan sighed, "that what just mean, Jean. So why are you reading that medical stuff that no one gets, anyway?"
"Just have to check what I missed", she said, "besides I was invited to a conference next week so it would be helpful to know a little bit about the topics."
"You're not really considering going, are you?", Logan asked.
"I want to find out what their next move will be and what they know so I guess I have to, hon."
"You can't be serious", he said, "after everything what happened."
"Logan", she said.
"I won't let you leave me", he said being stubborn.
"I'm going", Jean said.
"Fine", he grunted, "but I've one condition."
"Which is?"
"I'm going with you."
"I'm sorry hon and as much as I like your looks but I guess they won't even let you into the building", she said smiling a little.
"I can change that", he said.
"As if you ever would", Jean said eyeing him.
"Anythin' for you", Logan said smiling.
"Riiiiight", Jean said not believing him. His hairstyle was sacred.
It was several hours later. Logan had brought them their dinner upstairs and they had eaten in silence.
Jean yawned, "I think I'll settle for sleeping now."
Logan growned a little, "I'd like to do that too."
"What's the matter?", Jean asked, "scared of getting nightmares?"
"No", Logan said, "Marie and Jubes are already discussing for over an hour some things about their biology test tomorrow. Don't ask me what but there's something they don't get."
Jean's face was pale a moment before asking, "who's teaching them now anyways?"
"Hank", Logan said, "and I know he'd be glad if you'd be doing that again."
Jean chuckled and sat up.
"What are you doing?", Logan said.
"Come on hon, let's get over there and see what I can do. You need your sleep."
Logan helped her up and then walked with her out of the room and towards Rogue's.
Jean knocked and then entered it with Logan behind her, closing the door right again after them.
It was Logan who spoke up as the girls looked at them, "you should be sleeping by now. As for your problems with your biology teacher I happen to sleep with one so I thought about coming over."
Jean was suppressing a laugh while Jubilee and Rogue were a little shocked. Jean went over to Rogue and sat down inbetween the two girls on the bed. She put her reading glasses back on, "so what's troubling you?"
Logan was watching as Marie gave Jean the biology book and a script. Jean took a quick look over both things then explained something to the girls that they both seemed to understand. To him it was still less understandable than Chinese.
It took another five more minutes until Jean stood up again and pushed her glasses up her head and into her hair, "just get some sleep now."
"Thanks Jean", Jubilee said, "would've saved some time though if you'd be teaching us."
Rogue nodded, "yeah thank you so much."
"Most welcome", Jean said smiling. Then Jubilee got up as well took her stuff and the three left the room silently. Jubilee turned left at the door whereas Jean and Logan turned right. Not without wishing each other "g'night" though.
A few moments later Logan lay in bed with Jean in his arms.
"Way better", he said referring to the noise level.
Jean gave him a quick kiss and smiled, "night then."
"night hon", he said and added, "did you know how hot you look wearing glasses?"
Jean made a mental note to herself and smiled, "no, but thanks for the useful information."
It didn't take long until they were both deep asleep.
The next morning as Jean entered the kitchen it was already crowded and everyone was standing near Ororo. Jean went over to her best friend as well and hugged her, "Happy Birthday 'Ro", she said.
"Didn't you get me anything?", Ororo asked faking being sad.
"You'll get it later", Jean said smiling.
"That's mean", Ororo said.
"Live with it", Jean said and walked over to the fridge.
"Why are you wearing gloves?", Logan asked Marie all of a sudden.
"My", she began, "my power is back."
Everyone's heads snapped towards her, "I didn't want to spoil the mood. I just found out this morning."
"So that means", Logan said and several images flipped through Jean's mind before she replied, "that it's not working and 'someone' might be back soon. But today is Ororo's birthday aaaaaand", she was looking at some of the younger ones now, "some of you have school and tests etc."
There were a lot people leaving the room. Actually nearly everyone, leaving only Jean and Logan behind.
"This ain't good", he finally said.
Jean nodded, "I'm scared."
"Of Erik?", he asked. He knew she didn't like it when he called him or any other mutants by their mutant names in a normal conversation so he actually called him Erik and not Magneto as he'd like to do it.
"More of what he can and will do next", she stated.
Logan pulled her into his arms, "we'll get through that", he said and tried to calm her.
