- "It remains the video-surveillance for at least see what she's doin'" suggested Logan knowing very well that, even if he cut the door, Jean wouldn't let them come closer.

- "If she doesn't disconnect them" made Hank as they were going to the control-room, still under the shock of the news and their friend's reaction.

But Jean hadn't the head for that…she was staying like petrify, half-seated on the bed, as they had 'let' her, stroking mechanically her belly which, henceforth, wasn't carrying anything anymore. Staring into space, she remained without reaction for some minutes and then came back progressively to the reality.

- "…No…No….it's not possible…no…BUT WHY ???!!!!" she shouted suddenly by using her telekinesis to send violently two tables fly through the room, letting them crash against the wall in a din of crumpled sheet metal.

Having let escape this sudden bout of anger, the pain was freer to express itself and Jean burst in wailing sobs, curling up on herself, her powers making fall some objects and tremble the walls; but this time, the Professor couldn't do anything and, even in the contrary, it wouldn't be a good idea, Jean had to express herself.

Thousands of question were turning in her mind, feeding the floods of tears : Why ? Why the fate was pursuing her at this point ? What has she done to deserve that ? But why not killing her once for all to prevent her suffering ?? She was alone again, alone without nothing else to fasten to…this baby, she desired him, he was all it remained from Scott, her son, she had felt him move, she had seen him by scan ; he had yet his place in her heart, she had put in him all her love tempted to fill the emptiness provoked by the death of the man who represented all for her…

Gradually, the psychic-shield Jean had formed around the room weakened before disappearing, but the one of her mind was only strengthened. After about twenty minutes, exhausted by her emotions and the aftermath of the anaesthesia, Jean fell into a deep sleep.


Hank had settled Jean in one of the convalescence-room the day before she hadn't even woken up and it bounds to say that the sedative he had given to her was for something in it, she had to recuperate.

The next morning, Ororo gathered a bunch of flowers from her greenhouse and came with Logan and the Professor to Jean's room, expecting to find her in tears, demanding all their support.

Jean was awake for hours but she hadn't touched the food Hank had brought to her at dawn. Laid on her side, turning her back at the door, staring into space, she had the feeling to have nothing more, to be nothing more.

The telepath she was felt Logan, Ororo and Professor Xavier coming's a long time before hearing the rolling of the wheel-chair –and the two X-Men's footsteps– about to enter in the room.

- "Go away, I don't want to see anybody" she breathed without even making a move.

- "Don't reject us Jean…" tried Logan.

- "Clear off; don't force me to make you leave" she made in a harder voice, but still reflecting her emptiness interior she was feeling.

Ororo exchanged an upset look with Charles Xavier:

Jean

- "That's the same for you Professor ! It is for everybody; I don't want to see anybody"

Even if they had wanted to come closer to her, they couldn't have, she had formed a sort of shield preventing anyone to make more than two steps in the room. When Hank came, he found himself blocked too by the young woman telekinesis. Seeing his friends' looks, he understood quickly the situation but used a medical argument to try to make her give way because he didn't have a choice:

- "Jean, let me in, you know very well I've to examine you"

The mutant sighed and removed her shield. Knowing she agreed to see Beast only medically, Professor Xavier and the X-Men didn't attempt to go ahead.

- "If you need anything Jean…well, you know we're here…" made Ororo.

She didn't obtain any answer but knew her friend had heard her ; so, she gave her bunch of flowers to Hank who excused himself from them and waited for them to be out to close the door.

Beast carried out the necessary examinations and tried to engage the conversation several times but was unsuccessful, Jean was nothing more than a marble block.

- "You don't feel any pain in particular ?" he asked during the examination.

Jean turned her head toward him and darted him the first glance since the day before and this one had nothing of friendly, but rather of accusatory. Hank understood his mistake…

- "Yes…Excuse-me, I shouldn't have asked it like that…" Beast corrected himself "…I mean physical pain"

- "No" she answered before turning again her head away.

Hank pulled an upset face, he saw very well that Jean had entrenched herself in another world and that this wasn't turning out all right whereas he had thought the day before that she'd accept to receive some visits after having taken a rest. But at least, contrary to the others, he was here and tried to take advantage of it by passing the messages Logan and Ororo had partially expressed

- "Jean, it's a terrible trial that you've to go through again, but don't reject us, we can help you"

- "Help me ?…no, there's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do " she answered in a dry voice but without raising the tone.

- "We're your friends Jean, we…"

- "I just want you to leave me alone"

Understanding the message, Hank ended his examinations and went out of the room after having put Ororo's flowers in a vase.
