Jean and her savior stood facing each other. He cleared his throat softly and said to her "You shouldn't be walking by yourself. These are dangerous times."
There were so many things that she felt right then. Anger. Hurt. And something else, that she dared not name. "How is it possible?" she whispered to him, taking a step towards him.
"I must go," he said in reply. "I will contact you again when it's safer." With that, he just... disappeared. Leaving Jean behind, her emotions in tatters.

"There's something wrong with her." Kurt looked up from his breakfast burger.
"With who?" Rogue rolled her eyes and sighed.
"With Jean, you idiot! She hasn't been eating, sleeping..." Evan appeared at the table in the dining room, rubbing sleep from his eyes.
"What's wrong with Jean?" he asked.
"I wasn't aware that you actually noticed." Kitty spoke up from her little nook, the spoon in her hand ready to dip into the Cap'n Crunch she was eating that morning. Rogue glared at her.
"Of course, I've noticed! Just because we're not the best of friends doesn't mean that I don't care about her!" The arguing continued, even when Charles Xavier rolled into the hall along with Jean.
"You're such an idiot!" Rogue just rolled her eyes as Kitty tried to insult her.
"Well, that beats being a, like, valley girl!"
"ENOUGH!" All of the students turned to the doorway, where Logan and Ororo had joined Charles and Jean. Ororo glared at the students. "I do not approve of this. The breakfast table is no place for arguments." She sat down in her usual spot, as did the others. Jean just sighed and stared at her toast.

The full moon cast a silver lining on the land. Jean was up, of course. She hadn't slept very well for the last couple of weeks. The nightmares were back. Ever since Scott's death, she had been haunted by nightmares of him crying out to her. He always begged her to help him, but always died in the end, no matter what she did. The nightmares had stopped when she had met Danny, but now it seemed that Jean would be tormented again.
"I have a bad feeling... a bad premonition. Something's wrong..." she whispered into the darkness of her room. The freshness and calm of the night called to her, and she walked out onto the balcony that was attached to her room.
Suddenly, he was there, beside her. "I missed you." He leaned against the wall, hands in his pockets. "You don't know how much torture these past couple of weeks have been for me."
"No, I think I know what you mean," she answered. "What's going on?" He furrowed his brow and thought a long time before replying. "I don't know. I think that there's something major happening, though. Something we might not be able to stop." Jean nodded, and sighed.
"Why did you leave?" The figure stepped out of the darkness and took her hand in his. "I mean, the least you could have done was let me know you were alive!"
He adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat again. "Look, Jean, it was complicated."
"I don't care whether it was complicated or not! Do you know how much I suffered? DO YOU?!" She was screaming now, angry and hurt. And full of hate.
The man, Scott, cupped her face in his hands. "Jean, calm down. You know that I would never do anything to hurt you-" She jerked her face away.
"I don't care, Scott. The point is, you were alive! And you were such a heartless bastard that you didn't even take the time to let us know that you had escaped? We were so hurt! I blamed myself for not doing more for such a long time! And you think that you can just walk back into our lives?!"
"Jean... at least let me explain something to you."
"No! I don't want to hear anything from you! Get away from me, Scott. I never want to see you again."
She turned and walked back towards her room, a single tear falling from her eyes. "In fact, I think I hate you."
With that, she left him. Scott Summers stared after her, hurt and sadness encasing his entire body.

Yay! Scott's back! Tormented and angsty, but still Scott! Please read and review! Peace!
Love always,
