"Chapter Ten"
"Phoenix Rising Prevention Plan"
Logan called the meeting to order when everyone was there, except for Jean and Nathan. No one was surprised by her absence, most were still unaware she had been found. Many were surprised however to find a perfectly sober Xavier in the meeting right next to Logan. More surprising, was that as soon as the room settled, Logan sat with the rest of them and waited for Charles to begin.
"As many of you remember, we had an indecent occur a few years ago, that is now forbidden to speak of, as per the Book. It involved Jean and her loss of control." Charles began, there was a quiet murmuring among those who did remember either because they were in the team or were near by at the time. "
"Those of us who remember this event, remember how we were able to bring it under control last time, however."Charles continued.
"No." Logan and Remy both stated at the same time, causing confusion among the students and relief the teachers.
"If you would allow me to continue-" Xavier tried again.
"No." Remy replied. "It ain't happening."
"We ain't got Summers anymore, and the last thing any of us want is for Rogue to go Pheonix pregnant." Logan replied. "It could happen Chuck and you know it."
"Exactly which is why we need to watch Jean, watch her for any sign of stress, or odd behavior." Charles replied.
"Does singing happily to herself while cutting the blossoms off of all the roses in the west garden count?" Julian asked.
"Yes that would count, when did you see her doing this Julian?" Logan asked.
"Right now, you can see her out there." Julian replied, pointing in the direction of Jean, who was working steadily on the third rose bush.
"This may be something as well." Hope replied quietly. "Weird things happen all the time, so I usually ignore them, and I probably wouldn't have ever remembered except you said to watch for odd behavior. I don't want to sound rude or anything, so if it's completely normal let me know, but it really was kind of scary at the time. Then I thought I as being melodramatic, and it was nothing. It was nothing compared to a firestarting baby, which let's face it is scary, even if none of us like to say it."
"What is it Hope?" Logan asked, rubbing his head.
"Well, like I said, it may be nothing, but the other day I went to get a drink from the kitchen, and Ms Grey was floating in the center of the room, while things flew all over the place, then when she noticed me everything went back to normal and she acted like nothing happened. I know that all of us have odd powers and all, but it was almost like she wasn't even aware that she had been doing it, which is what made it scary, though now that I say it out loud it doesn't really sound like that big of a deal, so maybe we should just forget about it." Hope rushed out before sitting back down.
"Okay. So it's starting again." Logan replied. "We need to figure out the trigger, and we need to keep an eye on her. SO for the purpose of preventing anything from going wrong, I am suspending a rule from the Book. We need to talk about the Phoenix, and how we can stop it. Or preferably, prevent it from happening to begin with."
With that Logan took over the meeting, pulling out a long used chart, and began his speech. "I made this chart years ago, hoping it would never see the light of day. "
Everyone stared as he unrolled it with flourish. "Phoenix Rising Prevention Plan?" Jonothon questioned.
"Yes, prevention is key!" Logan stated. "We need to do everything in our power to prevent another flare up of the Phoenix. We must keep Jean calm, and keep her under constant supervision."
"How?" Emma asked. "If she is being supervised it will annoy her, which will prevent us from keeping her calm, however if we keep her calm then there is no way to watch her."
"That's where the boys come in." Logan replied. "Julian and Jamie will be keeping an eye on Jean who will be told she is keeping an eye on them. John you are to watch the boys, watching Jean, watching the boys, to make sure everyone is still behaving. Remy, I know it's a lot to ask with all of your other duties, but I need you to watch John, watching the boys, watching Jean, watching the boys. Does everyone understand the plan?"
"One thing. Why now? I mean why is she going crazy now, it makes no sense." Wanda asked, shifting uncomfortable, though at this stage she is never comfortable.
"I believe I may have the answer to that question." Hank replied. "I believe she may be suffering from a hormone imbalance that in turn is causing an imbalance in her already fragile emotional state. I believe that much like last time, Jean informed Scott of her condition and he reacted improperly, which is why she in turn has said nothing to the members of the staff since her return."
Everyone stared blankly at Hank for a moment, before Rogue rolled her eyes and stated. "He said she pregnant and Scott freaked out, so she went pyscho."
Everyone stared at Rogue then turned their attention to Hank who confirmed that was what he meant. Hank agreed that Rogue was correct. This of course set off Wade and Logan's panic, as they realized that Jean might be pregnant.
Wade set off the alarm, while Rogue and Wanda glared, and walked from the room to calm their children, and Kitty settled Meredith. Emma sighed, and stood with Megan who had only stirred through the sound, and the kids all sank in their seats, preparing themselves for another lecture.
"We were lax Logan, and this snuck up on us. How did we not see the signs, this is terrible. I have been so focused on the impending dangers of the Elves I nearly forgot the Baby threat! How could I have made such a grave error as to forget our worse threat?! I don't deserve to wear this mask! "Wade removes his mask, throwing it on the floor, to reveal an identical mask underneath." We have been blind! Logan ! This is terrible, I nearly forgot in our distraction from this Phoenix threat, but I saw just today, at the hospital they have an entire team of people working to further the baby apocalypse!"
"They have what?!" Logan screamed. "Wade, Peter, you are our only hope for balance! Kitty, Emma you must become mothers again, we need the karma! This is bad, terrible, the worst news we've received in months! This is worse than the police searching for Jean, or Jean going insane, or dare I say it, it may be worse than the salesmen! Hank are you certain of your findings?"
"No Logan at this time it is theory only." Hank replied, as Wade and Logan slightly relaxed. "I would have to run tests to be certain."
"Well then, that's what we'll do." Logan replied. "And to ensure she doesn't feel singled out or stressed, we will run the tests on everyone in the house. There handled. Boys report to your duties, every demissed." Logan stated, before gathering his charts and leaving the room.
