CHAPTER 5
"Jean, can I talk to you?"
The beautiful red headed doctor turned around to find a desperate looking Logan in front of her.
"Logan, you're back." She smiled.
He growled. "And that ain't the half of it. I need to talk to you."
"Logan, I've got a class in five – "
He grinned. "I got that blue dude to cover for you. Took me a while to work out what he was saying though."
Jean sighed. "Fine. But this better be important."
Logan nodded soberly. "Believe me, it is."
Jean sat down in her office. "So what is it that's bothering you, Logan?"
Logan sat down opposite her and smiled faintly. "Can't you read my mind?"
"Look Logan," Jean said impatiently. "If you're going to ask me about something, ask. If you're not, don't waste my time."
"Sorry Red. Look, have you been talking to the professor lately?"
She nodded. "Sure. I have to report to him every day." She paused. "This is about Jubilee and Rogue, isn't it?"
He sighed. "Yep."
"Logan, if you want my opinion, here it is, but I'm making no promises. It probably won't be what you want to hear."
"Fine. Look Jean, for once in my life, I have no idea what the hell to do."
She sighed. " I think that you should stay away from both of them." She said. "No matter what you do you're going to break their friendship, and hurt both of them. This isn't just some one-night stand, Logan. Right now you are toying with two young girl's hearts, and if you break them, don't think that everybody will just stand around and let you get away with it.'
Logan scowled. "You think I don't know that, Jean? Do you really think I'm the kind of person to do that? I care too much about both Rogue and Jubilee to do that to them. I'm aware of what's at stake here."
She arched an eyebrow. "Do you, Logan? Have you really considered the consequences of what you do in the next few weeks? You want my advice Logan? Leave them. Leave here, if that's what's necessary. But I won't just stand here waiting for you to break their hearts."
And with that, she stood up and left, leaving a dumbfounded Wolverine in her wake.
That afternoon, Logan found Scott in the garage, cleaning off greasy bike parts. He sat down next to Jean's fiancée and picked up a part, and a piece of cloth, cleaning it off.
"Any reasons you're here, Logan, or do you just like the smell of oil and grease?"
Logan sighed. "Actually, Cyke, I came to ask…"
Cyclops smiled. "My advice on the current Rogue and Jubilee situation?"
Logan smiled ruefully. "Yep. You been talking to Jean?"
"Have I ever. She's quite worked up about the entire thing."
"What do you think?"
Scott leaned in and dropped his voice. "Don't tell Jean, but I think you should go for it."
Logan raised an eyebrow, surprised. "You do?"
He nodded. "Sure I do. I guess I'm just a sucker for true love."
The wolverine blinked. "You think it's true love?"
Cyclops smiled. "Sure I do. I've seen the way she looks at you, Logan. With Rogue, it's awe and admiration, but with Jubilee, it's more. I can tell."
Logan chuckled. "For a guy who wears glasses all the time, you sure do see a lot."
Scott shook his head. "It's not that hard, Logan. Look for yourself."
Sorry, That wasn't a particularly good chapter. I'm sure somewhere along the line I'll actually get somewhere with this, but it probably will be a while yet. Oh, and sorry that this chapter took so long, but I got kinda lazy. PLEASE REVIEW!!? Pleaaase?
