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 : Lexan and Slicky !

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

For one hour, Jean was unwinding on a simulation but this didn't seem to have settled her down enough judging from her reaction when the three mutants came to interrupt the program.

- "What now ?? I can't be alone for five minutes without you coming to put your nose into my business ? I don't need a chaperon nor your pity !! All I want it's that you leave me alone !!" she shouted before passing in front of them.

Logan, Storm and Beast exchanged a glance and followed her as she was heading to the training-room where all kind of equipments were at their reach for maintaining their form.

- 'The least ya could do is inform us so we don't let ya do a session alone, ya know very well that it's dangerous !" made Wolverine in an irrefutable tone as they arrived in the sport-room.

- "I can take care of myself !!"

- "We're beginning to doubt it Jean" admit Storm, waiting for the mutant's outburst.

Jean abruptly turned over.

- "I don't need your moral !!" she yelled as a wave of anger was beginning to give way of herself and that the room equipments' were dangerously starting to vibrate "Dammit ! Are you all deaf, or is it too hard to understand ?!!?!!"

A chair was suddenly sent smash against the wall.

- "Jean, settle down, you…" tried Hank.

- "I SETTLE DOWN IF I WANT TO !! I DIDN'T ASK YOU TO FOLLOW ME SO LEAVE ME ALONE !!" she shouted and sent the table crashing as did the chair.

- "That's enough Jean !" tried Ororo at her turn "We know that you're hurt, we understand what you feel but…"

- "How could you understand ??!!! Have you lost your soul-mate, the person who meant the world to you ??!! Have you felt his child grow and move inside you before losing him too ?? NO !! SO HOW COULD YOU SAY YOU UNDERSTAND ME ?? STOP TAKING ME FOR A FOOL AND STAY AWAY!!" she shouted by throwing out another chair telekinetically in her anger.

Unwinding herself, Jean inflicted the same fate upon other objects without no one could calm her down. Oh, she knew this wasn't really smart, but she couldn't help it, she needed to vent this excess rage which was going through her body and her mind or she'd end up exploding ; and it was crazy the easiness with which she was able to come off its hinges…

- "Jean, stop it for cryin'out loud !!" shouted Logan for the umpteenth time.

He was unsuccessful; a punching-ball had just torn out of the ground and prepared to turn around the mutant as if she was its centre of gravity, before crumpling up with the rest. Logan tried to go closer to her again, he didn't risk a lot thanks to his healing-power, but she didn't let him.

- "Jean…" tried another voice.

Wolverine turned toward the newcomer. Not having found the young woman in the danger room, the Professor Xavier had only had to follow the shouts to find them.

- "Charles, ya shouldn't come closer, it's dangerous" made Hank as Logan unsheathed his claws in the event of an object would take the Professor as a target.

- "She won't hurt me"

- "I'd not bet on it…" retorted Wolverine given the state in which Jean had put the room in.

- "I have confidence" answered Charles before speaking again at the young woman but this time by telepathy Jean, stop it, control yourself

- "GET OUT OF MY HEAD !!! LEAVE ME ALONE !!" she shouted against them.

She was beside of herself, but some tears have made their appearance; were they caused by the anger, the tiredness or the sorrow ? they didn't know.

- "All right, you give me no choice…" murmured the Professor by putting his fingers against his temples.

But Jean was so withdrawn, she had built such a barricade around of herself that this hadn't had the radical effect expected, because the telepath soon understood. She moaned slightly under the Professor's psychic-attack impact's her psychic-shield weakened, she moaned again by putting her hands to her head but in vain. Finally, she fell on her knees, then on her side, before ending by collapsing on the ground, unconscious.

Logan, Ororo and Beast sighed deeply. Wolverine was the first to approach the young woman. He pushed away the long red-hair which were covering her face.

- "I don't recognize her anymore, she's becomin' more and more uncontrollable"

- "She's suffering, it's her only way to protect herself Logan" made Charles.

- "But all the same, I'm worryin', I'm afraid she…"

- "That she lays the blame on someone physically ? No, here she could very well have attacked me –she had the capacities and the possibilities, overall with the anger prompting her– but she didn't do it, she has just be contented with defending herself" retorted the powerful telepath "The most serious is that she has barricaded herself so much that I had difficulty reaching her"

- "Some students are beginning to be scared of her" made Hank in a reflective tone "Bobby has said to us that the youngest have even given her a nickname: 'Sharpooth'"

Ororo nodded :

- "Yes, Kurt and Samuel told me about that at the end of my session a few minutes ago"

Charles stayed pensive some instants before declaring in a deep voice:

- "I'll gather them and speak to them"

Logan took Jean in his arms and glanced over the room:

- "We'll have to remake the decor" he said before leaving the room to bring the young woman back to her bedroom while she was unconscious.

- "Yes, Jean has put her back into it" approved Hank.

- "I'll settle that on my return" answered the Professor Xavier, pivoting his wheelchair which he led toward the elevator, Storm and Hank on his heels.

- "Oh yes, your conference at Seattle" remembered Ororo "I'm not really reassured to see you set out over there alone"

- "I don't risk anything Storm ; and you have to stay here to take care of the students and to manage Jean, which won't be easy, unless she settles down suddenly"

But the two days which followed, Jean didn't settle down; admittedly, she didn't break anything else and spent almost all her time closed in her bedroom, but she didn't let anyone approach her for all that. Even the fact that it had started to snow again didn't make her go out of her den.

Logan and Storm were sat on the steps of the stairs leading to the entrance of the Institute, keeping an eye on the students.

- "She still hasn't eaten anything ?" asked Wolverine.

- "No, and what surprises me the most is that this doesn't seem to weaken her for all that"

- "She's too much cut of the world to realize it"

- "I don't even think she sleeps at night and what's worrying me is that she doesn't cry, at least, I'd know what to do in these cases."

Logan nodded, he was bewildered too to be rejected like it by Jean but they couldn't do anything more than waiting for her to calm down by herself.
