A/N: I just thought, For all you members of the I-Hate-Jean FanClub, I've already killed her.... I know its not me directly, or you don't actually get the gory details (Which I'm working on, I promise....), but my Fic "Goodnight Sweet Angel" I kill her. Yay me! Some ROMY in that too.... and it just proves that its Jean's fault Scott's such an arsehole.... Anywho....
Hutchy: You Get a Bunny! You hate Jean, so I'll let you have TWO gold stars! Yay you! *Staples them to Bunny's forehead* there y'are! I WOULD let Betsy cut her up, but.... well.... its just too much fun to torment Jean first..... Maybe later.... Keep an eye out, I might just do that....
Dark Jaded Rose: Aww, thank y'dear.... I thought so too.... Was quite strange.... Whelp, great, and insane, minds think alike.... :-D Just for boosting my Ego, you can have TWO BUNNIES, and a Gold star.... *Staples the same gold star to both bunnies forehead*
Freakish Fangirl: I LOVE YOU! Lol, Such an ego booster.... I might have to kidnap you.... I've seen the Tourniquet Kitty Suicide, and its alright actually, not as bad as I thought when ya said about it.... It was one of those "Oh god no" reactions, then I read it and kinda went "yay.... oh.... good, not yay.... no, not good.... good FIC...." Y'know? I like Kitty.... Shes like, so cute.... Shes like my little sis in a way, if my sis was a valley girl, she could be Kitty.... But thank ya love.... *empties pot of Gold stars in her hair, and lets the bunnies loose* WOHOO! YAY! Oh no, wait.... Those weren't MY Bunnies.... Gah! Nevermind.... Dionne'll kill me later....
Ladie-giggles: Awww, geez, thanks. I've done a few of Evanescence's other songs, off the 'Origin' Album (Only available in the US I think.... I dunno, I live in England) 'Missing', and I'm planning 'Understanding (wash it all away)', but Im gonna try to do some more from the 'Fallen' Album. I love the songs on there. Here, have a bunny and a gold star.... if you can catch them that is....
Xmengirlzrule: WOHOO! I LOVE YOU TOO! I'm so happy I got on someone else's favourite list! Lots of Bunnies and Lots of Gold stars for you! (The author reserves the right to actually hand the bunnies.... Ya hafta catch them yaself.)
Rogue14: *Hands bunnies and gold stars* I will I will! Umm.... Its March now.... I started December.... Guess I owe an apology?
Abaiisiia: J thank you for reviewing.... Yep.... Jean = scary. Heh.
So, my inspiration for this fic? Well, I love the song, and I thought I needed to torture Jean more.... this was just a logical progression.... Don't own Jean, Don't own Ben Harper, Don't own his song... the Bunnies aren't mine either..... However.... I DO own my own Gold stars for Reviewers ;-) I haven't used all the lyrics.... just some of them. The better ones.
"Please
Bleed"
Jean was furious. She couldn't believe that the X-Men actually thought that they were better than her, or worse – equal. They would NEVER be on the same level as she was. Well, If Elizabeth shaped up a little.... No, not even then. She didn't deserve it. Not now. After she got through with them, they were going to wish they had never done that. She was going to make them pay, BIG style. Especially Scott.... How dare HE reject HER! Oh, he was going to pay the most, and all because he'd chosen that Goth-Reject Rogue over her....
She glared angrily at the Radio as it started singing, but the haunting voice of Ben Harper made her leave it on....
~Make me feel like a
beggar
Make me feel like a thief
Make me feel like a battle, that cannot end in peace
Make me feel like running, as if I've lost my nerve
Make me feel like crying, tears I don't deserve~
Yeah, that was right. SHE didn't deserve these tears. She hadn't even realised she was crying until now, and it was all their fault.
"They're not real.... Their words.... not real.... none of
it real...." She looked at herself questioningly. "Not real?" She bit her lip
softly. "Not real?" She asked herself again. She felt another psychic, be it
Betsy or the Professor, knocking at her mind, wanting permission in. "Not
real....." She stated, a little panicky, and threw up her mental shields hard
and fast. "Not real..... No little people trying to get in my head.... no no no.... wont let them in, oh
no...." She mumbled to herself, rocking backwards and forwards on the floor
slightly.
~Please
bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am none
I am none
I am none~
The lyrics caught Jeans attention once again, and she
listened with rapt fascination. It was as if he was singing for her.... what
was she thinking? Of course he was.... he had to be. He wouldn't sing like that
for anyone else. Getting to her feet, she
picked up the cordless radio, moving back into the street, holding it close and
turning it up, singing along to the chorus.
((Verse Omitted))
~"Please bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am none
I am none
I am none"~
She barely noticed Duncan coming up behind her till his arm was around her waist.
"Hey Jean. Heard you dumped that looser Summers." She nodded, listening to the line about Scott
~Good
lovers make great enemies~ ((rest
of verse omitted))
she turned to Duncan and kissed him briefly, before singing to him.
~"Please
bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am none
I am none
I am none"~
Duncan looked at her, as if she'd gone
crazy, which was, in truth, reality. She had the knife from the cake table
float over to her, and she held it in her hand and tilted her head, looking at Duncan, holding him in place with her Tk while she stabbed the knife into his arm, Ben Harper's
words still repeating in her ears.
~"Please
bleed
So I know that you are real
So I know that you can feel
The damage that you've done
Who have I become
To myself I am none
I am none
I am none"~
Duncan screamed as the knife pierced his flesh, sickened by the look on Jean's face. He didn't blink, or move, as Jean was suddenly blasted half-way across the street, the radio shattering on the floor. Scott looked at Jean sadly, before Logan moved over and picked her up tenderly.
"Don't worry Cyke.... She'll get help." He muttered, brushing her hair out of her eye. As he watched them go, Betsy and Kitty walked over to Duncan. As Kitty phased the knife out of his arm, Betsy concentrated on replacing his memory of them using their powers, smiling when it was done.
"Should hold him luv." She winked at Scott, before guesturing to Kitty to move. "Duncan! I told ya to watch out for that piece of Glass luv! Ya coulda seriously hurt y'self!" He blinked a few times, before looking at Betsy.
"Yeah.... sorry.." He mumbled, scratching his head, "Thanks." Before he moved off, to get it seen to.
"Like, we're sorry Scott." Kitty mumbled, taking his arm.
"'S alright Kit. Jean'll be fine. The Professor and Hank can look after her, and make her better."
The possibility that she'd never be better was firmly imprinted onto their minds, but they'd never say it.
None of them.
A/N: Sorry this took me so long, I got writers block, hence the omitted verses and bits. So, what d'ya think?
