When Jean Grey entered Xavier's office, she walked into a raging argument. She had already sensed that her fiancee, Scott Summers, wasn't happy with the latest events involving Logan. She had to admit to herself that the situation didn't give much credit to the Canadian.
Ororo Munroe was standing by the professor's desk, her eyes bearing a dangerous glowing shade of white. Xavier sat behind the huge desk, looking more upset than Jean had ever seen. Scott was fuming in the middle of the room.
"I say we throw him out of here," he suggested, probably for the tenth time.
"He is unconscious, Scott. He's not even breathing on his own right now," stated Jean as she made her presence known.
"All right, so we throw him out when he wakes up! There must be a high-security psychiatric institution for guys like him."
Charles Xavier sighed softly. He couldn't help but partially agree with Scott on that point. Logan had acted dangerously towards Rogue. The girls had already been quickly debriefed before being sent to their rooms. What the X-Men learned from them was scary. Out of nowhere, Logan had jumped on Rogue and kissed her.
As if in a concerted agreement, Jubilee and Rogue didn't get into many details about the way Logan had actually forced Rogue to touch him, or rather, touched her. The implications of such actions were too frightening for the girls to realize or admit yet. Besides, neither of the girls wanted to elaborate on the subject right then.
Charles Xavier scanned to room, reading the faces of his former pupils. He didn't need to use his gift to determine that anger was the dominant emotion emanating from them.
"I suggest we wait until he can explain his actions," suggested Jean as she sat on the couch.
"And put him in a cell in the meantime. That's where he belongs anyway! He's an animal!" added Scott.
"I see no reason..." objected the professor.
"No reason? For Christ's sake, Professor, he tried to kill Rogue!!" shouted Scott.
"Scott, calm down! He didn't harm her, phycically, that is. The only one who got hurt was him..." cut in the professor, intentionally not finishing his sentence.
"What do you mean, Professor?" asked Ororo, not sure of what he was leaving unsaid.
"That he tried to kill himself?" guessed Jean, realization dawning on her.
"Indeed, Jean."
Scott sat heavily on the couch by his fiancee. "Great. Three years later, he comes out of nowhere and decides that the best way to die is to traumatize Rogue in the process," he said.
"How is Rogue, now?" asked a concerned Ororo, now calmed down considerably.
"She's relatively shaken. Jubilee is with her. We'll be there to help her, if she wants us to," explained Xavier.
"Wants us to? Professor, I'm sure after what..."
"Scott, now that she has absorbed a part of Logan's memories and personality traits again, no one can be sure of her reactions," explained the professor.
"Great, just great. What if she becomes suicidal as well?" Scott asked.
The office felt silent as the depth of this question hit them.
