Here we go. I guess I threw some of you for a loop with the whole Rogue
thing. Trust me this is what I had in mind from the beginning. I thought
actually I had been hinting too much. Listen, here we go, shout outs
Ms. Marvel: who said bi? And Jean is going to be a little to nervous to be perfect
Relwarc: Glad I could startle you. I hope you like it
Cold: well, I wanted to not be obvious, but I thought I had hinted pretty heavily to this. Any way, I know a fic with Jean as human is rare. I was getting pissed off finding all the ones with her as a super bitch
Ryuu-Chan: you know you're one of my fave reviewers. Hope you like the continuance
RogueVampyr: yes Jean loves Rogue's mind, but she is also into her body.
Now remember I am a straight male, so I have Jean think about women the way I would. We will get into her thinking about women more in the next chap though. If I am making a total ass of myself, please feel free to flame. And anybody who has actually gone through something like this ( a lesbian coming out, or someone who attempted suicide) please let me know how I am doing on this sounding right.
Okay on with the show. . .
Purpose
Jean lay as still as ever. She wasn't actually asleep, but anybody watching would probably think so. She lay there thinking of the fact that she had actually told some one her secret. She knew she could trust Logan, but was he right? Would her friends understand? She didn't dare hope that much.
Her silent battle with herself was interrupted at one in the morning, when the med bay doors flew open, and Logan carried the screaming form of a little girl in. in tow were Professor Xavier, Storm, Dr. McCoy, and Sam Guthrie. Jean couldn't for the life of her figure out what Sam was doing there. Logan put the girl on a bed near by. Jean, clad in her floor- length night gown, got up to see what was going on. As she got closer, she noticed that the girl was covered in bruises, and her arm was at an unnatural angle.
"Ah'll kill him!" Sam roared above the general din. Everybody was talking. The little girl was screaming, Storm and the Professor were talking about what to do, Dr. McCoy was trying to calm the girl down (the girl was terrified of him), and Logan was trying to calm down the teenager known as Cannon Ball.
Logan wrestled Sam out of the room, and Beast said to Prof. X, "Charles its no use, she wont let me get close to her. She is terrified of me."
"She is also afraid of men in general, not surprising after what her father did to her." Charles had read the little girls mind, but did not want to telepathically sedate her, she was only twelve. As he looked over her badly hurt body he currently shared in Samuel's desire to hurt his uncle. Then he noticed Jean edging closer to the group. "Jean, we need your help."
Jean was fairly sure she had misheard, "Me?"
"Yes, you Jean. This is Samuel's cousin, Paige. She recently manifested her mutant power, but she has been severely abused. She wont allow a male to help her, much less Hank. You, however, as a woman would be less threatening, and you could use your telepathy to tap into Hank's medical knowledge."
Jean couldn't believe she was actually needed. "Jean," Beast pressed, "There isn't much time. She needs help now."
It took no more, Jean touched her hand to Dr. McCoy's head, and was ready to go. It was a very tense three hours that Jean spent working to set Paige's bones, and operate on what was hurt internally. But in the end Paige was sleeping like an angel, and Jean thought as she looked at the child, "Some people do need me." She then drifted off to sleep in her chair, with the closest thing to a smile she had worn in days.
"why didn't you just have Betsy do it Charles?" Ororo asked as she stood beside her mentor.
"I took a gamble, but I think we might have saved more than one soul tonight."
Storm slowly began to understand what the telepath had meant.
Jean slept late the next morning. Some where during the night, she had been moved back to her bed. Scott was asleep in the chair next to her bed, as he usually was when she got up. She quietly got up and moved over to check on the little girl, but in the bed where the little girl was supposed to be sleeping. Supposed to be.
In the bed was a wolf, Jean backed away slowly, she didn't particularly like wolves. Then to her surprise the wolf got a look of shock in its eyes, it reached a vaguely hand-like paw up to its face, and ripped its face off. This would have been enough to shock Jean, but then she saw underneath the wolf's face was the sheepishly smiling face of Paige Guthrie. "Sorry," said the little girl.
Jean shook off her astonishment and put on her normal smile and said, "Hi, I'm Jean Grey."
"You're the lady that helped me last night."
"Yeah, that's me."
"Thanks. Ah'm sorry ah scared ya, its just ah saw this guy come in in th' middle of th' night, and he was a demon, not to mention Bigfoot last night."
"Actually Paige," Jean said gently as she sat down, "Those guys are friends. Bigfoot is one of the instructors here. his name is Dr. Henry McCoy, or Beast. The demon's name is Kurt Wagner. To use his own words, he is just a harmless blue fuzzball. Even still he does take the coolest codename; Nightcrawler. The worst thing Kurt will do to you is play a joke, but I'll talk to his sister and she can make sure he leaves you alone for a while."
Paige liked the way Jean was talking to her. Jean wasn't talking down or acting superior. She was explaining things as they were. As Jean opened her mouth to speak, another voice rang out as the door to the Med-bay opened, "Breakfast time Sugah!" in came Rogue carrying two breakfast trays. She looked over at Jean who was sitting with Paige on her bed, "Oh, Ah that ah's gonna have ta wake ya'll up Jean."
"No," Jean said, "I had to chase a wolf out of here." She then sent a wink to Paige that Rogue missed as she was setting the trays on bedside tables.
"Rahne been buggin ya'll already this mornin'?"
Paige giggled and Rogue looked at the two confusedly.
Jean turned her sights on Rogue and said, "I gotta ask one thing; Sugar?"
"Shut up Red! So I got a soft spot fer kids. Back off!" Rogue blushed even as she yelled at Jean.
Jean just smiled and the three girls, much to everyone's surprise, spent the entire morning giggling. Jean took her first trip outside the infirmary in almost a month, and helped show Paige around. Paige even got a chance to apologize to Dr. McCoy for the way she had behaved. Albeit, she did it from behind Jean. The happiest moment of the day was when Paige saw Sam and ran up to him and tackled him screaming, "Guthrie Dogpile!" when he caught her and didn't fall over she said, "this is a lot easier with twelve of your siblings and nine of mine."
