Matchmaker
By: slickboy444
AN: Hey everybody! Slickboy444 here, and here is the sequel to my previous X-men fic "Xtra Member." I strongly recommend that you all read that fic before reading this one. This means Jack Robinson is still in this story. This is my big Scott/Jean fic of my X-men saga. It was inspired by the fanfic "Snow." I highly recommend you all read that fic. I am a big Scott/Jean fan from the shows and the comic. I believe that it is truly real compared to the many other X-men pairings. Just see for yourself. Remember, I don't own X-men Evolution or Zelda and I also don't own any of the music I may mention later in the story. That being said I hope you all enjoy my fic and best wishes to you all!
All my x-men evolution fics are dedicated to Jen (aka: littlesortaredheadedgirl) the author of the x-men evolution fic "Snow." I highly recommend you all read it. Because of that fic I intend to add Scott/Jean material later on in this series.
AN: 'These mean character thoughts.'
It was a balmy April morning in the Xavier institute. The students there were all preparing for school much to their dismay. Their newest member, Jack Robinson, was awaiting his first day at Bayville High. Currently, he is in the gym area of the mansion for an early morning exercise with one of his new friends Scott Summers.
Jack: Come on Cyke! I know you can do better than that.
Jack was sparring with Scott while trying to teach him some of his powerful fighting skills. Although Scott was doing well and learning fast, he still couldn't match Jack just yet.
Scott: I'm just getting warmed up man!
Scott then launched his attack on Jack. He remembered some of the styles that Jack had taught him that morning in speed and strength. Jack had to admit, Scott had learned better than the rest of the students.
Jack: Not bad, but you still need help on your focus. You have yet to fully channel your life energy.
Scott: Trying to distract me huh?
Jack: You'd be surprised man!
A brief smile appeared on Jack's face as he delivered the last blow, sending Scott to the floor.
Jack: You're good man. You're really good. You still want me to teach you?
Jack helped him up to his feet.
Scott: You bet dude.
Scott truly believed he could learn to fight like Jack. After seeing him fight off the brotherhood in that military base incident he was eager to learn from as much as Jack was willing to learn from Scott. Scott also thought his training would help him in other ways as well, but he wouldn't disclose his reasons to Jack. Whatever his reasons were Jack was sure of one thing, it had to do with Jean.
Logan: Hey! It's almost time for you guys to leave! You better get moving.
Scott: Sure thing Logan. Well, guess the fun's over.
Jack: Yeah...
Scott: You still worried about your first day?
Jack: A little bit, yeah.
Scott: Don't fret man, you'll be fine!
Jack: I hope so.
After a few last-minute preparations they were off. Jack got a ride with Scott, Jean, and Kurt. He was still a bit nervous. It didn't take long for them to reach Bayville High. After the car stopped Jack slowly made his way in.
Jean: You got your schedule?
Jack: Yeah, I'm good.
Jean: Well, good luck Jack. We'll see you after school.
Jack watched her and Scott walk off towards their first class. He hadn't been at the institute for very long, but Scott and Jean were particularly very supportive. He often found himself noticing a subtle, yet very obvious, attraction between Scott Summers and Jean Grey. He couldn't understand why they hid it. They acted like a couple and looked like a couple. It just made no sense to him. However, he was determined to change that for the better.
Jack's first day proceeded very smoothly, much to his surprise. Even though some suspected he was from the institute, they didn't really bother him. It was a welcomed feeling to Jack's view of the school. He even noticed some girls giving him flirtatious gazes.
Jack: 'I guess this place won't be so bad after all.'
As Jack headed towards lunch he saw Scott. He was about to walk up and say hi to him, but then he noticed something. He seemed to be glaring daggers in the direction of a group of guys dressed in football apparel. He began to listen in on what they were saying.
Guy1: Man Duncan I thought Jean Grey dumped you!
Duncan: She says it, but I know she'll come back. Guys like us always attract girls.
Guy2: Yeah, but did you get any out of her?
Duncan: Nah, I tried, but she's just biding her time. I'll get some out of her, don't worry!
The guys began to laugh; knowing what Duncan was referring to. He and his group began to walk in towards the cafeteria towards the table where Jean was sitting with some of her friends. All of the sudden, Scott saw Duncan trip and fall flat on his face.
Jack: 'A little mischief magic for the thickheaded jocks.'
Jack smiled to himself as he watched some nearby students laughing at Duncan's accident.
Duncan: What? Which one of you dorks tied my shoelaces?!
Then he began to chase the group he was hanging around a minute ago, suspecting they were the culprits. Scott felt reassured about the turn of events, but he was curious how it happened. Then he turned around to see Jack standing there grinning like a fool.
Scott: Let me guess, that was you right?
Jack: You bet!
Scott: Thanks man.
Jack: Hey, it was you who told me we're family.
Scott: Indeed.
Then Jack got an idea as he saw Scott walk off to sit next to Jean. He decided he wanted to confront Scott about his feelings for her. He had to know the reason for his continued denial.
As Jack's first day drew to a close he encountered some familiar faces.
Todd: Hey fellas, check out the new guy!
The rest of the brotherhood, including Tabitha who was just standing by filing her nails, looked at the new guy. He looked very familiar.
Pietro: Hey, wait a minute! I think that's the guy who ruined our operation at the military base!
Lance: I don't like coincidences. Let's see who this guy is.
Tabitha: So that's the guy who whooped all your butts? He doesn't look so tough, but he sure is cute!
Freddy: Err, come on, its payback time!
The brotherhood approached who they thought was their mysterious assailant from the base as he was putting his things in his locker.
Lance: Hey! You've got a lot of nerve coming here!
Jack turned around to see some very familiar faces.
Jack: 'Oh no, not these guys again.'
He decided to play it dumb and plead amnesia.
Jack: Uh...Hey, I don't think we've met.
Pietro: Don't play dumb! We remember you from the military base! You know the chemicals, the interference, the butting in. Is any of this ringing a bell? Link!
Jack: Link? I think you guys have me confuse with someone else. My name is Jack...Jack Robinson.
Todd: Yeah and I don't eat bugs! We know it's you!
Tabitha just stood off to the side, not really caring what was happening.
Freddy: And I think we're entitled to a little payback.
The four mutants cornered him against his locker, but for some reason Jack didn't seem too worried. The brotherhood didn't know it, but Jack was casting a small spell with some magic powder. Without them knowing, he sprinkled some on their feet. All of the sudden they stopped cold in their tracks. Their feet had magically sunk in to the concrete ground like quicksand.
Todd: Hey! What gives?!
Pietro: I'm stuck!
Jack: It was nice seeing you all too...Again.
Tabitha laughed lightly at the rest of the brotherhood's misfortunes.
Jack: Are you with them miss?
Tabitha: Yes and no, and the name's Tabitha. But you can call me Boom Boom.
Her voice switched to a more intimate, flirtatious tone.
Jack: Nice meeting you Tabitha.
And without doing anything else he simply walked off.
Todd: Hey! Boom Boom, blast us out of here will ya babe?
Tabitha: Sorry boys, you did this to yourselves.
And with that she walked off.
Freddy: Hey wait! Don't leave us!
But it was a bit too late for that.
Later that evening at the institute Jack was playing his guitar near the pool. Then Scott approached him.
Jack: Hey Cyke.
Scott: Hey Jack. Listen, I just wanted to come to thank you about what you did earlier today.
Jack: Oh, you mean with Duncan and his goons?
Scott: Yeah.
Jack: It's nothing man.
Scott: But can I ask you why you did it?
Jack stopped strumming his guitar.
Jack: Well, a few reasons. I heard what they were saying for one thing, but when I saw the way you were looking at them I knew then they were trouble.
Scott: Really?
Jack: Yeah, and one more thing...I sensed that they had a lot of dark life energy. So I knew their intentions weren't honorable.
Scott: I knew there was something else about him. Well, thanks again Jack.
Jack: Any time Scott.
Scott was beginning to walk off, but Jack had one last thing on his mind.
Jack: Wait, Scott.
Scott turned around.
Jack: Can I talk to you about one more thing?
Scott: Sure...What is it?
Jack: Jean.
Instantly he saw Scott get a bit nervous.
Scott: Well...What about her?
Jack: I've been watching you two since I got here. Granted I haven't been here long, I am curious to know, are you two...Together, or something?
Scott immediately went on the defensive, but Jack could tell he was getting more nervous.
Scott: Oh, no! No, we're just good friends, that's it.
Jack looked at him skeptically.
Jack: I don't know Scott. I always see you two staring at each other, I always see you two near each other. I notice you two are far closer than anybody else here at the institute. And I also saw how jealous you got earlier to day with the Duncan incident.
Scott didn't say a word. He knew anything he tried would be too obvious.
Jack: You can't lie about it Summers. I can tell you have strong feelings for her. Hell, I think the whole institute can see that. So let me ask you again. Are you and Jean...Together?
Scott took a deep breath.
Scott: Well, no.
Jack was about to say something in return, but Scott didn't let him.
Scott: Not that I would want to. Okay I admit it. I do kind of have a thing for Jean. I've...Kind of had it ever since I met her. But I know she doesn't feel the same way man. Like I say we're just friends and that's all we can be.
Jack noticed a hint of sadness in his voice as he said those words.
Jack: Do you really believe that? Because I don't.
Jack could tell Scott was still a bit uneasy, but he was a bit surprised to hear his words.
Jack: I've seen the way she looks at you and vice versa. I definitely think there is something very special there. You say you two are just friends, but don't you want to be more?
Scott still didn't say a word, but he was trying. It took him quite some time to get the words out.
Scott: Well...Yeah.
Jack: Well why don't you tell Jean that?
Scott: Jack, I don't think you understand.
Jack: Oh, but I do. You're afraid she doesn't feel the same way, right?
Scott: ...Yeah.
Jack: Well I think you'll be surprised if you knew the way she feels. I don't have be a psychic to know that.
Jack knew what Scott should do after that. Even though he looked nervous and reluctant, Jack knew it was for the better.
Jack: Look Scott, here's what I want you to do. I want you to go up to Jean and just ask her out...On a date. An actual date.
Scott: What?!
Jack: But before you do, I want you to look deeply in to her eyes. I want you to watch how she looks at you. I want you to listen to what your instincts tell you. Then, I want you to ask her out.
Scott felt like he was in an odd position. Even though he had considered it many times, he never had asked Jean out. And he didn't know if he had the courage to do so this time. He often doubted that he ever would.
Jack: Look, if you don't ask her out I'm sure there are plenty of guys who will. If you don't act, you may loose her. And I know you don't want that; frankly, I don't think anybody here want's that either. You almost lost her to Duncan, you might not be so lucky next time.
Scott: Well...When you say it like that. I guess you're right.
Jack: So...Are you going to do what I said and ask her out?
Scott took a deep breath. He was unsure, but he knew Jack wouldn't let him say no.
Scott: Okay...I'll try.
Jack: You don't have to try man. Just do it.
Jack could tell he was still unsure. Scott just stood there briefly, paralyzed.
Jack: Look, I can't do this for you, but I can help you. There's an old saying my master once told me, "The heart knows what's truly right and when the mind won't listen, one is truly a weak soul." And I know you're not that weak.
After that Jack walked back inside, but Scott stayed. He looked up at the stars trying to make sense of what Jack had said. But no matter what he did he couldn't stop thinking of those words he said.
Scott: 'The heart knows what's truly right and when the mind won't listen, one is truly a weak soul.'
AN: Well, that's if for the first chapter in this part of my saga. I hope you all liked it. I've always liked Scott/Jean pairings and this is just my take. Please tell me what you think at slickboy444@aol.com. Thanks again and best wishes to you all.
