Disclaimer: At no point have I owned or operated any part of Marvel

or X-men. I'd be worried right now if I had anyways.

Greetings! Long time, no write, I've been busy with two childeren

in diapers and what not however. If you don't know who I was, I don't

blame you. I was TheBud and still am, just older and fatter.

"Tell Me."

"Why can't you understand how I feel?" Jean pleaded to a man just as

deaf as he is blind. Scott never did understand much more than whatever

Scott wanted to understand. He just turned away in his usual, selfish manner.

His cold, self absourbed manner. How Jean was sick of it, Scott only cared

about a very few things and every one of them mostly involved him.

" Scott!" She began to shout. " You share your home with me, but everything

that matters with..HER.. I.. I just don't care if it's gotten physical but.."

"Just stop it Jean!" Cyclops sharply cut her off. " She's just a friend! why

can't YOU understand THAT!?" With that he turned back to the paperwork

he'd been compiling for Xaiver. Scott was hard like that. He was a hard man to

know, a hard man to love, and Jean felt more of that love leaking out of the cracks

of her emotional heart each day, with each of the scant words that

Cyclops was willing to dispend to her.

"Scott," Jean tried again calmer. "She's over here frequently, you make movie

dates with her, she emails you ten times an hour, what am I to think?"

" You won't go, so don't complain." Scott grunted absent mindedly back.

"Besides you go places with Logan.. does that make you a whore?"

" On missions, Scott and thats not the same!" Jean began to fume

in almost well known hot headedness. Anger was becoming a solid entity

quickly. "I am no whore and you'll never call me that again!" Jean left the room filled with intent.

Cyclops meerly implied to the fact that he thought she was, and soon

a resounding thunk was auditable through the walls of the old boat house

in which the two lived. Cyclops slumped forward as the red, warm and pungent

blood stained the papers. The blood more than stained, it soaked, ran and spilled,

dripping all that Cyclops was to the floor. The carpet drank it hungrily

and the floorboards let rivers past to the floor below and pooled finally

on the light pink kitchen tiles at Jean's feet.

"Scott!!" Jean screamed as she bounded the stairs to the office where

Scott had been toiling. Scott was barely murmering as Jean mentally called to him

and to help.

"She's here.." Cyclops managed to think before slipping into a foggy blood lost stupor.

A small, feeble voise trembled in answer. "He wouldn't have me."

A wild girl with scraggled hair and a slight frame came out of nowhere.

"He wouldn't leave you for me, this is your fault. It's your turn now" She squeaked out

with her eyes red and her nose running the tell tale signs of a deeply

disturbed cry. "Don't use your powers on me. They won't work. Scott told me I was

special like that."

The whole nature of Scotts relationship with this girl. He was investiagating

the nature of this girls abilities, probably for Xaiver. Jean never felt so sick

her whole life.

"You didn't have to do this to Scott!" Jean shouted as she tried to stem the

bleeding from Scotts Scalp wound." "I'm so sorry!" She wispered to her unconsience

husband. "You know you can't get away! The others will be here soon!"

"Perhaps.." The girl warballing said. " But not before I take care of this

little situation." Raising the shovel above her head, the girl

attempts to strike. Scott, she caught by surprise, Jean isn't as easy to take down,

as a well placed kick to the girls nose septum proved.

Cyclops barely made it long enough for the help that came in the form

of a hairy, blue man, known for bringing at least Scott back from the brink.

"Jean, " Beast had said later as he gave Scott another blood infusion. " Why

all of this?" Beast, Henry McCoy was of the oldest friends and confidance.

"He never even told ME of this girl. I dare say Ol' Cyke was afraid?" He queried.

"I don't understand it all myself." jean replied as she held back the tears.

"The girl?"

"She won't be much more than a vegitable for awhile." Beast sadly relayed.

"And there was no hope finding relatives, no dentals, immunizations,

ss number, it's like she didn't exist. She did, however have a psychic

print. odd, no?" He said pulling his glasses to his nose.

"Are you implying I had something to.." Jean balked back before being stopped.

"No" Henry said. "He may still be in danger from another psychic. Whom though?"

"Who could create a physical, living and sentiant psychic being?" Jean puzzled.

"Could David be back?"

"If he is, I would fear what depths of hell we are to face." Beast replied as

he added the final bag of fluid to the I.V. "And us without a guide."
