A/N: I haven't updated this story for a while. I wrote the chapter for it,
and then I lost it. Go figure. So while I'm up watching Wolf's Rain I will
write a quick chapter for this story.

Chapter 9 The Dragon
It was the next week before Beast let Jean Grey up and out of the bed to walk around, get everything moving again.
After the day of risking Rogue's and Wolverine's life, everyone has been taking precautions over all three of them. Although both Rogue and Wolverine were doing fine, Scott and Gambit were still a bit shaken up.
This morning finds Jean sitting up in her bed with Scott sitting down in the chair toying with a box. Logan walks into the room and smiles at Jean.
"Hey Jean, I'm glad to see you are doing better," Logan said walking over and giving her a hug.
"That's all I can do. With everyone demanding me to stay in this room there's nothing else to do," Jean said giving him a kiss on the cheek. "I heard what you did for me, and thank you."
"No problem. You would have done the same for me if time calls for it," Logan said straightening up and eyeing Scott with the box. He breathed a sigh of relief when recognition crawled into his mind. It was just the glass dragon Scott wanted to give Jean.
"Cyclops, can I have a word?" Logan asked as Scott jumped out of his seat at being addressed.
"Uh, yeah sure," Scott got up and walked with Logan out of the room and into the hall. "What?"
"Why haven't you given her the present yet? It's not an engagement ring, it's not something she'll turn down. It's just a present. Don't be such a chicken," Logan sneered.
"I know, I know. It's just that, I'm trying to think if that is the right gift to give her now," Scott said slowly. "But you're right; I should just give it to her."
"Exactly," Logan started but got cut off by Professor Xavier coming down the hall and stopping at the two men.
"Glad I caught you both. I need to talk to you two and Jean. I think now is as better as any time," Professor Xavier said and went into the room, followed closely by Scott and Logan.
What they didn't see was Gambit walking by the room at that time and then stopping to see if he could hear anything from the hall.
"Jean, I'm glad to see you doing better. But we need to talk about that bracelet. It is in a safe place right now, down in the safe next to the training rooms. I finally know how we can destroy it. To keep it from over powering you again." Professor Xavier started.
"I have talked to the person who gave it to me, a Witch Doctor from India, and he told me how to get rid of it. But I sincerely think you have a problem," He said looking at Jean.
"What is the problem?" Jean asked.
"Well, you will need to go to Lake Narma Parvita. It's a sacred river that flows around here. I have yet to know the exact location of it,' Professor X was cut off here by Gambit speaking from the doorway.
"Ya wrong there, Professor. I know where te lake is. I shall take Jean there," Gambit said.
"Well, that solves that problem. Thank you Remy. The second one is that to destroy the bracelet it needs to be held by lovers as they submerge it into the water, to drown all of its powers. So Jean, you must decide who you truly love. Scott or Logan. Not an easy task my dear, but it needs to be the right one. Because after you submerge the bracelet in the water and all of its powers are gone, the bracelet will disappear and bond the two lovers together for eternity. I shall leave you to it then," Professor Xavier said as he wheeled out of the room talking to Gambit.
Jean just sat in bed, letting the Professor's words envelope her. How was she supposed to choose who she loves more? She has always loved Scott, and then Logan came into her life and made it more fun. It was going to be hard.
Scott just walked over and took the box from the chair and gave it to Jean, and gave her a kiss. "It's just a present. I have been meaning to give it to you for awhile. But now seems like a good time."
Wolverine hugged Jean again and walked out of the room, dragging Scott out of there too, so Jean could sleep.
Jean opened up the present and smiled at it. A dragon was mysterious, and so was Logan, but it was also graceful, like Scott. She slept peaceful that night, without another thought of the bracelet.
A/N: Okay, that's it. Simple and easy. It's title the Dragon because it reminds Jean of both of the two guys she loves. I'm going to put up any reviews any more. I keep losing track on where I left off. So please forgive me. I might put a couple up the next time I remember to update. Please review and tell me how you like it and what should happen next.
