Repercussions
"Self-reverence, self-knowledge, self-control, these three alone lead life to sovereign power." -- Alfred Lord Tennyson
The professor and Mr. McCoy sat in the danger room alone with the two unconscious girls.
Prof.: "Hank could you take them to the infirmary."
Hank*worried*: Sure thing professor. Are they going to be alright?
Prof.: "Elisabeth will be, I only rendered her unconscious for now, she'll awake when I want her too, but Jean is another story, Elisabeth hit her with all her power. Jean's mind is so fragment that I can't even get a hold of it."
The Beast gently picked up the girls and took them to the infirmary. The professor slowly followed, thinking about Jean.
Prof.: Well first things first
In the infirmary the professor sat by Betsy's side. The professor placed his hand over Betsy. She slow began to awake
Betsy*dazed*: "What!? Where am I? What the bloody hell hit me?"
Prof.*sternly*: "Betsy, we need to talk about your behavior. You can't go around attacking the other students."
Betsy: "I know professor, I am really sorry; it's just sometime I go mad and all the training and self discipline goes right out the blooming window!"
Prof.: "I know, and that's why you're here. But please try harder next time. I don't want to keep knocking you out every time you're angry."
Betsy: "I will professor."
Prof.: "Good; now get back to your room and stay there I think we owe everyone an apology and an explanation in the morning."
Betsy: "Yes professor, will Jean be alright?"
Prof.: "It'll take all night undo what you did to her mind, but she will be ok, angry but ok."
The professor now turned his attention to Jean. He reached out into her damaged mind.
Prof.: {Jean! Jean! Can you hear me?}
Jean: {Professor, help me I….I can't see it so dark, help me!}
Prof.: {Clam down Jean, just follow my voice. Look around you what do you see?}
Jean: {Nothing, just darkness, it's so cold. Help me."
Prof.: {I'm trying Jean, but I need you to concentrate! Concentrate on what happened to today. Give me your hand, reach out to me.}
Jean's astral-self reached out to the professor. He reached out and grab her hand. The professor could feel a flame of rage rise up in Jean.
Jean: {That BITCH! She did this to me!}
Jean's mind begun to get very 'hot.
Prof.: {Clam yourself, tomorrow everything will be explained. I'm sorry you had to go through this, but maybe this will teach you something about underestimating your fellow team members. I know it's hard for you; you and Scott have always been the star students, especially you. I've always treated you different because your powers are so close to mine. But now that Betsy here to stay you're going to have to share the psychic lime light."
This is not what Jean wanted to hear.
Prof.: {Jean, I can feel your jealousy. I want you not to view Betsy as a rival for my attention; she is not a rival but a friend. Please try to understand. There may be a time that you two will need each other. Jean it's time to wake UP!}
With that Jean jerked awake. Jean was sore all over. She tried to reach out for a glass of water with her telekinesis, but nothing happened.
Jean: "PORFESSOR!!!!"
Prof.: "Yes Jean what is it?"
Jean: "My powers!!! Where are my powers!?!"
Prof.: "Clam down, when Betsy...attacked you, her psychic blade cut many connections in your brain, not to worry though in a few weeks your brain will find new connections and your powers will be back."
5:30 am the next morning
SLAM! Jean shut the cab door hard.
Scott: "Jean, wait, come on Jean don't be like this."
Jean*irritated*: "Look I just have to sort things right now; and I can't do that here!"
Jean glared up at the mansion.
Scott: "But, but what about us, you've been off at school all semester and I never get to see you! Come on just stay till the end of your autumn recess."
Jean *tears in her eyes*: "I'm sorry, I love you, but I need a break from all this."
Jean leaned out the window and kissed Scott.
Jean: "Good-bye, I'll see you during winter break."
Scott: "yeah bye"
The cab drove off in a hurry. Scott watched the cab drive out of site. He was heartbroken.
Scott how could she do this? Just leave me like this? Doesn't she know I need her? Doesn't she love me?
Tears began to swell in Scott's eyes as he slowly walked back into the mansion. The some of the other students watched him from their windows.
Kitty Awwww! Poor guy!
Kitty had always felt sorry for Scott, she didn't think Jean deserved a nice guy like him.
Kitty Hmmmm tomorrow I'll be extra nice to him, maybe I'll make him some breakfast.
Kitty crawled back in to bed and snuggled up with her dragon doll, Lockheed.
In the room down the hall:
Bobby: "Dude that sucks. I always thought they'd stay together. I hope they can work through this. Jean's such a babe! Scott's an idiot if he gives that up!"
Roberto: "I know, Jean's has got to be the hottest girl here…wait I take that back, Betsy's the hottest girl here!"
Bobby and Roberto laughed.
Ray "Will you guys Shut up!!!!!!"
