This is just a little songfic that came to me after I saw X2 and listened
to the song.
Please review and let me know what you think!

**I wish, I wish, I wish
To every city
I wish, I wish, I wish
Every hood
I wish, I wish, I wish
And every block
I wish, I wish, I wish
Ghetto america!**
Scott stands holding a picture of Jean and himself together.
**Rollin' through the hood
Just stopped by to say what's up
Came to let you know
That your baby boy ain't doing so tough
And even though you passed
Going on four long years**
Scott pulls up to Alcaline Lake in his motorcycle. He climbs off and walks over to the edge of the lake and stands there.
**Still waking up late at night crying tears
Just thinking about those days
You used to talk to me
Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennesy
And remember we bragged on how rich we would be
To get up out this hood was like a fantasy**
He cries as he slips into memories.
//Flashback//
Prof. Xavier leads Scott to the medical facilities. They can see the back of a redheaded young woman in a lab coat.
"Jean," the Prof. calls to her.
She turns around and her beauty takes Scott's breath away.
"Jean I would like to introduce you to our newest student, Scott Summers, also known as Cyclops. Scott, this is Dr. Jean Grey."
Jean smiles and extends her hand to Scott. "It's nice to meet you."
"Likewise Dr. Grey." He is still slightly stunned.
She blushes a little. "Just Jean, Mr. Summers."
He smiled in return, his first smile in months. "Call me Scott...Jean."
//End of flashback//
**And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride
(With you)
How I used to kick it on the front porch
(With you)
And all the little basement party joints we'd do
Now I'm just missing you
How I wish**
He hangs his head.
//Flashback//
They are holding a memorial service for Jean. Everyone gives him their condolences, but their words can't reach him.
//Next flashback//
Sitting on a bench with Jean in his arms, laughing and talking about anything, everything and nothing. He gently kisses her temple.
//End of flashback//
**I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
Even though I can't see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I ever make it out of this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish**
//Flashback//
Scott is sitting on a bench head hanging down and hands resting on his legs. His mother had called to tell him that his father had died.
Jean came up and silently sat down beside him. She wrapped her arms around him; then allowed him to cry on his shoulder. When he was done she gently lifted his chin with her hand and smiled at him, a little sadly. She wiped away a tear. "Hey. Don't worry, you're not alone in this."
//End of flashback//
**Now ever since this money come
Been nothing but stress
Sometimes I wish I could trade in my success
Y'all look at me and say boy you've been blessed
But y'all don't see the inside of my unhappiness
Man I swear this shit gets heavy like a ton
That's why you hear me shootin'
This real shit off like a gun
Hmm I wonder how my friends would treat me now
If I wasn't iced up with a Bentley and a house
That's why fake ass niggas get fake ass digits
And fake ass playas get a real playa hatin' 'em
Honey Love goes platinum and y'all ass come around
But y'all don't wanna raise the roof
Until my shit is going down
And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride (With you)
How I used to hoop off in them tournaments
(With you)
And how I used to club hop on weekends
(With you)
Your family called the morning of the tragic end
Damn, my condolensces**
Memories of all of the fights they fought together ran through his head, all the way up to her sacrifice. The grief weighs down on his chest like bricks.
//Flashback//
Storm sits next to him, her arms wrapped supportively around him as they cry together.
//End of flashback//
**I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
Even though I can't see your face

Saying everything's okay
And if I ever make it out of this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish**
He pulls out the photo of Jean and he, looking at it.
**Voices in my head be telling me to come to church
Saying the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt
Dreaming of windows black tinted like a hurst
When waking up to life sometimes seems worst
And all I ever wanted is to be a better man
And I try to keep it real with my homies now
For me to save the world I don't understand
How did I become the leader of a billion men?**
//Flashback//
Scott is sitting in the back of the jet after the first mission where he was the leader; he is obviously under a lot of stress.
Jean kneels down in front of him and smiles up at him. "Well we all have to learn lessons some time. We can't *always* be perfect."
//End of flashback//
**And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride (With you)
How I used to street perform on Friday
(With you)
And how I'd go to church on Easter Sunday
(With you)
Standing here throwing them songs at me
Somebody pray for me**
Orroro and Logan walk up behind him. He knows that they are there, but he doesn't acknowledge them yet and they just stand waiting.
**I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
Even though I can't see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I ever make it out of this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish**
Scott looks once more at the picture and sets it loose on the wind; he watches the wind carry it up and away. Finally he turns around and heads over to his teammates. He barely hears Logan making the excuse for their being here, that the Prof. wanted to make sure Scott got home alright.

I am putting the lyrics in the stars so that they are easier to distinguish. And I forgot to mention earlier that the song is I Wish by R. Kelly so here's some news...I DON'T OWN THE SONG!
