Ok I'm gonna end this chapter rather lamely.and shit.I forgot to put a
disclaimer on the prologue.damn.well anyway, I'll put it here..sry bout
that.
Disclaimer: I do not own the X-Men or anything having to do with them.
A few years later, Jean was in a small diner in Westchester, New York that was near the X Mansion. She and Scott used to go there all the time before.before.Jean's thoughts stopped suddenly, as she didn't want to think of that horrible night anymore. Of course, she couldn't stop her mind's path of thoughts. After five years, Jean still hadn't gotten over the fact that Scott was possessed, or so to speak. Apocalypse had gone all over the world causing havoc with a body that wasn't his own.
Suddenly, the bells above the door clanged, and a girl who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen walked in. She sat at the counter on the stool next to Jean.
"Hey Lexi," she said, smiling at the only waitress on duty.
"Hey Robyn. What's up?" Lexi asked her, "You want the usual?"
"Sure.and not too much is up."
"Cool.oh, by the way, this is Jean Grey. She's a regular here, too."
"Okay. Hey, Jean. I'm Robyn Trenyce Delaney," Robyn smiled at Jean, and shook Jean's hand.
Jean shook back, rather reluctantly.
"Are you really that weak?" Robyn asked, pulling her hand away.
"Well, no, but," Jean started, laughing.
"I'm just teasing," Robyn said.
"Well, I knew that, too," Jean said.
"Sure you did," Robyn said.
Jean rolled her eyes. Amazingly enough, she liked this kid.
"So how old are you?"
"I'm seventeen. If you don't mind my asking, how old are you?"
"Twenty-eight."
"Cool," Robyn nodded.
Suddenly, Robyn unconsciously went into Jean's thoughts and then involuntarily jumped backwards and came out of her mind at what she saw there.
"Is something wrong?" Jean asked, not realizing that Robyn had just gone into her mind.
"Uh.no, nothing at all, Jean."
"Okay then," Jean said, not totally believing her.
Wow, she's been through a lot in her small lifespan. Her husband is possessed by a powerful mutant, and she may never see him again, Robyn thought to herself, How terrible. But I wish I even had a boyfriend, let alone a husband. Nobody likes mutants.
"Well, it was nice to meet you, Robyn. I'll probably see you around here again soon, since I come here a lot. Here's your tip, Lexi," Jean said, standing up and slipping three dollars out of her wallet and onto the counter.
"Jean, you really shouldn't-"
"Take it. It's the least I can do. I'll see you soon."
Robyn and Lexi chorused their goodbyes, and then Lexi sat down across from Robyn to eat with her.
"You're lucky you actually got a laugh out of her. I haven't seen a laugh out of her yet since her husband died. The two of them used to come here all the time."
"Yeah."
I guess she told everybody her husband died. It must seem like that anyway, Robyn thought to herself as she listened to Lexi talk about her day, I wonder what a normal day in the life of Jean Grey-Summers is like.
TBC.please R/R!
