A/N: This is my first fanfic, so be gentle. Let me know what you think and please, please, PLEASE review. And this is not a Mary Sue! I repeat Not a Mary Sue!
Disclamer: I do not own the X-men although I wish I did. All I own is Jessica Phillaps and she partly belongs to my friend Bry aka Ramblingsofcrazywomen, who came up with her last name, so don't steal her!
Jessica Phillaps drove through upstate New York, singing loudly to some old music her parents introduced her to. Her excitement built as she neared closer to her destination. She hadn't been to Charles Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in years. She was anxious to get back and see her old school.
She remembered being a student there. Her parents, unlike others, found out about her power and encouraged its development. Like many others, the Professor had found her and introduced her to an environment where she could be accepted and develop her powers safely.
Before she knew it, her blue BMW had pulled up to the large gate around the school. She pushed the buzzer, careful not to break her long pink nail. The gate slowly opened, and she pulled into the parking lot. She got out of the car, quickly walked up to the main building, and pushed open the large oak door. She walked the familiar hallways to the professor's office. She walked in quietly because the professor was teaching a class. Seeing her, the professor said "Class dismissed."
"I'm sorry, professor, I didn't mean to interrupt."
"It's alright, we were done anyway. Jessica, you know how I feel about you using your powers here."
"Sorry." She sighed. Her pale skin faded to a dark blue and her subtle blond hair became a fiery red.
"That's better." Said the professor. "So, what brings you here?"
"Well, I heard about Jean and I came as soon as I could." Before the professor could say another word, the door opened and in walked a handsome man with clean-cut hair. Every feature of his face showed hurt and exhaustion. She wouldn't have recognized him if not for the tell-tale red sunglasses. "Scott...."
"Jessica?" Scott stared in disbelief; he hadn't seen Jessica since she left the school. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, I heard about Jean and....."her words trailed off as tears started to roll down Scott's face. She walked over to Scott and put her arms around him as the well inside him opened up. Professor Xavier smiled as he left the room. He knew Jessica was just what Scott needed right now--someone who knew and cared about Jean just as much as he did.
