for Henry.
Jean sat, full of boredom, opposite Professor Xavier as he lectured her on her behaviour. This lecture was different to the ones she was used to. And by the sounds of it she was going to be thrown out into the street. She tapped her fingernails on the arm of her chair.
"Miss Grey, I don't think you understand the importance of what we try and teach you here. Using your power like this is unacceptable here. At this academy we learn to use or power for good. To help the humans. You have one more chance to stay here Miss Grey, but you aren't being let off lightly this time. You will have four months cleaning duties and will not be sitting the exams for your electives."
"But professor, it was just a little joke. Ororo is handling the cloud, and it's not fair to stop me from sitting my exams. I may be a bad kid professor, but I really do want to work in human politics. And I was working so hard with the nurses for my medical experience."
"I'm sorry, my decision is final." Jean stood abruptly and headed for the door. She ran as fast as she could. Professor Xavier was ruining her life because he couldn't take a joke. That's all it was. No doubt Ororo was doing fine controlling the cloud. She ran as fast as she could out into the trees behind the academy. She moved her hand up to her neck and took off her necklace. She could feel a presence near by, and it wasn't good. She wiped away the tears and lay down on the picnic table.
Scott, I'm hiding in the trees. I can feel someone coming. And they don't seem nice.
Scott quickly got to his feet. Jean was in trouble. He had to get to her quick. But it would be better to call the professor first. He ran out his bedroom door and down the corridor towards the stairs.
A tall, dark figure had appeared at the end of the picnic table. Jean had never felt fear before but she guessed that the pain in her chest was it. She backed to the other end of the table. "What do you want?"
"You know something Miss Grey, something that is important to me. You have a special gift that is very rare in the mutant world."
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"You have the right flare for the job too. Come with me." Jean shook her head, but as soon as she did she found herself floating up into the air. Her hand clutched tightly to Scott's present. What could she do? There was nothing available to her. Her power was developed enough to send this person flying into the air. And if they were keeping her in the air, she didn't want to risk falling on her ass. As she floated towards the cloaked figure she quickly dropped the chain to the ground. Hoping that Scott would find it and rescue her.
Many hours had passed since he had laid her on the bed in her new 'room'. It was only temporary. Until he got out of her what he wanted. Which, in the mood Jean was in, would probably only take one or two days. He sat back in his chair and looked out at the view. The sky was darkening. Night would come and once again take over. The intercom buzzed and he twirled around.
"Yes."
"She's awake."
"I'll be down in a moment." There was silence for a moment. "Oh and Tigerlilly"
"Yes"
"Try not to sound like you're scared out of your mind."
"Yes, sorry Magneto."
Note: Sorry it's taken so long everyone. The computer had attracted a lot of viruses. Bare with me while I find out which disks I put the next two chapters on. Thanx.
