Chapter Five: Home-Ec
"Now add the butter... I'll measure it out." Jean-Grey cut off the appropriate amount and added it to the batter. "Let's put it to a vote... who wants to add extra chips?"
It was unanimous, as Jean knew it would be. Extra chocolate chip cookies... should be good! She knew her Home-ec teacher wouldn't mind. It was useful to read minds, although she never... well... rarely used the talent to cheat. (The Professor had made that QUITE clear, thank you very much.)
Someone in the same area coughed. "Sorry about that, I tried to cover my mouth..." his voice said. What they don't know can't hurt them, I never even tried was what was going on in his mind.
Jean chose not to comment. She formed the dough, and another kid (Mike) put the cookies in the oven. This power comes in useful sometimes, anyway. Jean had just opened the door another inch, psychically; if he hadn't, Mike would have burned himself.
10 minutes to go... 5... With 2 minutes to bake their cookies, the fire alarm went off!
Jean scanned the teacher's mind. This was not a drill!
Everybody fled the room, following the teacher.
Almost as an afterthought, Jean turned off all the ovens telekinetically. No need to make the fire worse...
Kurt wasn't having it much easier.
