Please, remember that I'm French so I had to translate the whole fic before making correct it (thanks to ET and Double27) and mistakes always goes through.

Thanks for the ones who have reviewed : Aimtbj Lexan, Slicky, Jean Grey Summers and Kim direct!

Remember, the more I get, the sooner I want to post :-)

The second day of her convalescence, Jean spent it in her bedroom where she let in nobody and didn't go out once. She had drawn the curtains and stayed in half-darkness, laid on her bed, without even shutting her eyes.

The third day, she went out of her room at dawn, passed by the kitchen where she found a bit of bread which she ate without feeling hungry, and ventured in the snow-covered park without even paying attention to the frost which was reigning on it. She was somewhere else, she needed to walk, to walk without ever stopping, not meeting anybody anymore, that the others leave her alone and never ask her anything anymore.

Some twenty minutes later, Ororo made her way to the kitchen and began to cook before Rahne and Amara entered.

- "Well slept ?" asked the Weather Witch.

Amara shrugged and Rahne, seeing Jean wasn't in the kitchen as she used to be the previous weeks, asked :

- "Doctor Grey still hasn't left her room ?"

- "No" answered Storm in an upset voice

- "It's really unfair what's happened to her" complained Rahne, the Professor Xavier having informed them about the news.

- "And this time Jean seems to have completely cut herself of the world, no one of them has achieved to talk to her, nor to approach her" declared Ororo by speaking about the professors before adding "Well, except for Hank, but only for medicals reasons"

Amara grabbed an orange without great conviction.

- "She and professor Summers, they represented something really important for most of us " she made by referring to the others students "They were giving the proof that we could be mutants and know about love, that we weren't condemned to live alone ; well, we aren't alone here, but you see what I mean"

- "Yes, I understand Amara" answered Storm "They were two true soul-mates, but this symbol must not disappear even if their fate has separated them"

The two young mutants nodded and Storm turned to the coffee-maker when her glance was attracted to the exterior by a red colour she knew well, Jean was about to climb the stairs leading to the hall.

- " But what the…?" Ororo replaced the coffee pot to meet the telepath under the incomprehensive glance of the two students who discreetly followed her.

When Storm saw that Jean was reddened by the cold and that snow was covering her pull-over, she couldn't believe her eyes.

- "But for heaven's sake Jean, what were you doing outside in the cold ? Alone, in your state and without even a coat !" she became indignant before couldn't help but wanting to take care of her "You're completely frozen, come and warm yourself by the fireplace, I'll bring you some coffee" she purposed by taking her by the arm.

But Jean didn't move:

- "Release-me" she made by freeing herself "I don't need to warm up, I'm not cold"

- "But Jean, you…"

- "I don't need it, is that clear ?!" she retorted with more ardour before turning over, to cross the hall and to begin to climb up the stairs which Logan was just descending.

He was surprised to see his protégée out of her room and, although he had just heard the shouts, couldn't help to think it was a good sign.

- "I…"

- "LEAVE ME ALONE !! " inveighed Jean without even stopping, the panes of the hall growled, letting supposed that a wave of telekinesis had just gone through it.

Logan froze and exchanged a glance with Storm before going down to join her, noticing Rahne and Amara who had just cast a glance in the hall.

- "What happened ?" he asked.

- "Nothing, she was outside, whereas I believed she was still locked in her room, she's come back completely frozen and I wanted to take care of her but…"

- "She's sent ya packin'…" summarized Logan

- "Yes, she's worrying me Logan, she rejects everything and that doesn't seem to turn out all right"

- "We've to give her some time and at least here she seems to tackle to the life in a way" made notice the mutant.

Jean, on her part, had entered her bedroom and was trying to settle herself down under a hot-shower, but to see her body devoid of her maternal-roundness she had seen evolve week after week, was preventing her of it; having said that, the tears didn't come, Jean had the feeling to have cried so much she couldn't cry anymore. She hadn't slept, ate almost nothing, but she wasn't feeling tired, on the contrary, she was feeling irritated, she was feeling angry, an anger against who ? she hadn't got a clue, against everybody and nobody given that it wasn't anyone's fault except her own misfortune.

She went out of the shower and wrapped herself in a bath-robe before returning to her bed, getting lost in the picture of her and Scott on her bed-side table. On the ground, was the video of the scans which tape she had unrolled and torn.

The two days which followed, Jean wasn't more agreeable than the previous ones. She got out of her room occasionally, but she didn't let herself being approached for all that and several people had to endure her mood, even if it was directed toward the professors, being the only ones who dared to try to break the ice again and again.

At a moment, at the crack of dawn, when Kurt and Kitty were crossing through one of the common-rooms with a view to get dressed to go out, they were surprised to pass Jean with a cigar in her mouth, not yet lit. Concerned, they informed Hank, when they passed him :

- "Doctor McCoy, I…" began the elf before taking the things differently "Is it prudent for the doctor Grey to smoke after what had happened to her ?"

Hank opened wide eyes :

- "Who ? Jean ? You saw her smoking ?"

- "Yes, we've like just passed her" confirmed Kitty "Apparently, she had like one of Mr Logan's cigars"

You like it ? so let me know it by reviewing please :-)
