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 : Slicky, Lexan, and Lil Jean !!
Lexan : oh yeah, I like letting you in a cliff hanger MUAHAHAHAHAHAH, I'm evil
Remember, the more reviews I get, the sooner I want to post :-)
- "It was about Doctor Grey, she was hurt, willingly if you see what I mean…"
The professor gave him all his attention –nobody was aware of the circumstances of Jean' state except the ones who had the instruction not to disclose it– so he listened to Bryan carefully and didn't regret it :
- "It was taking place outside, in front of the memorial of the professor who died before my coming, and I saw him too, but he was alive and there were others people that I didn't know and…" Bryan interrupted himself and sighed "…I know, my powers are completely silly, they're useless, my visions are always stupid…"
The Professor Xavier joined up like he could the puzzle which his young student was relating to him and reacted immediately when this one became discouraged:
- "No Bryan, I'm not so sure this time, but for this, I will need to have access to this vision" he said in a deep voice by asking him to approach and to kneel in order he could put his hands in periphery of his head "You won't feel anything, I just need you to relax and to think again at what you have seen without erasing or adding anything"
Bryan nodded and closed his eyes, giving the Professor the time to see all he had seen: the memorial, the blood, the wrists cuts, and then…Scott, Scott in a kind of dark cell and two others who he knew too well.
Storm and Hank made their appearance (Logan staying with Jean to keep an eye on her) as the Professor was going out of Bryan's mind, obviously extremely confused.
- "What is it ?" asked Ororo, effectively it wasn't usual to see Charles using his telepathy on one of his students in the corridor.
The young mutant had looked up to the Professor and was surprised not to see him smile so that his vision was stupid.
- "You have done well to come to tell me about that Bryan, you can leave now" declared Charles before turning toward Beast once the student had enough moved away "Hank, you who have well seen the notches on Jean's writs and forearms can you draw me a quick sketch of them ?" he asked.
Beast was surprised by the request, but nodded and pulled out a notebook from his gown on which he scrawled skilfully before giving the notebook to Charles. At the sight of the sketch the Professor turned pale which worried the two mutants.
- "Professor ?"
- "That isn't possible…" he made, like if he hadn't heard them.
- "Professor ?" repeated Ororo, this time she won Charles' attention "What's not possible ? Why Bryan is come to see you ?"
- "Because yesterday evening he has had a vision, he's seen Jean attempting to kill herself, but not only, he's also seen Scott who seemed to have received the vision too"
Storm slowly shook her head.
- "Professor, so hard it may be to say it, even today, Scott is dead" she made calmly "Bryan must have simply made a mistake, his vision must have been influenced by his imagination"
- "I don't think so Storm," Charles contradicted her "I've read his mind, his vision seemed to be reliable with what might have happened, what even you haven't seen, which has happened before you found Jean. I have seen in it the notches and there're tallying perfectly with the sketch Hank has just drawn for me"
Beast interrupted him:
- "Professor, we aren't denying that Bryan might effectively have, in some way, witnessed Jean's attempt of suicide, given that's it's obvious that he couldn't know that she had tried to kill herself, nor how and where she had done it" he made "But as regards Scott…"
- "Bryan hasn't known him, he has only seen him on pictures and couldn't have imagined him so precisely if it wasn't real" cut the Professor Xavier at his turn " I have also troubles to believe it, but you have to admit that this is confusing…"
A silence answered to him.
- "Supposing that you're right, " conceded Ororo "If Scott was alive, why nobody would've known it ? I mean, the bond he was sharing with Jean has been broken, Cerebro hasn't detected him and…"
- "Because Magneto didn't want us to find him"
- "Magneto ? What is he doing in it ?" asked Hank more and more sceptic.
- "I have to go to Cerebro immediately, I have to verify it" answered the Professor, pivoting his wheeling-chair and moving away quickly, leaving Hank and Ororo perplexed.
The two mutants stayed still during a while before Beast asked Storm :
- "Honestly, what do you think about it ? "
- "Honestly ? I dunno" she made, seeming pensive "But the Professor seemed really confused and he's not the kind of letting himself be influenced by false hopes, so maybe he's right…"
She exchanged a glance with Hank and with one accord, they left on Charles' tracks and waited behind Cerebro's closed door.
Some twenty minutes later, the big round room opened up again, letting appear a Professor Xavier seeming shaken.
- "So ?" asked the two mutants without great hope.
You liked it ? so let me know it by reviewing please :-), the more I get the faster I post…
