Still not sure on the couples...if anyone is especially fond of a couple,
send in a review for it. I'll try to pick couples for upcoming chapters.
The action will start next chapter.
The young man known as Scott Summers by friends, Cyclops by teammates, waited silently outside the bathroom door that Jean was occupying.
His concern for his teammate and love interest had grown as Jean had become docile and quiet. He had could tell the day after the Professor's speech that she had been discomforted. If only she would open up, Scott thought to himself.
"Jean, are you okay?"
No answer.
Before Scott could call again with a more urgent tone, the door cracked open. Jean's head poked out.
"Scott, could you come in here?" Jean's face looked a little tired.
"Sure Jean." Scott stepped into the bathroom after replying.
The X-men leader watched his girlfriend stare into his shaded eyes with a quiet struggle. Trying to comfort her, Scott stroked her long red hair, trying his best to be there for her to open up.
"Scott, I, I need to get out." Jean's voice sounded a little more normal, and she tried to smile. "I just think we need to do something. The battle really took its toll on me, and probably you, the adults, and the others. I think we should get them to go out too."
Scott stayed speechless, making sure not to interrupt Jean. He considered everything she said, the finally nodded.
"Of course Jean. That's a great idea. As long as you act more like yourself. No more looking like you're having a self struggle inside."
"Right, Scott. Tonight, I'll try to get back to myself."
All though the self-struggle inside Jean was not going to just disappear.
Charles Xavier smiled at the two oldest students of the X-men standing in front of his desk.
Scott and Jean were both smiling, and Charles knew they were going to ask him something.
"Professor, Jean and I were wondering if tonight could be an off night with chores and danger room sessions. We were hoping it could be a night on the town, so to speak."
"Yes Professor, we haven't told the others yet, but I doubt they will pout in defiance. I expect many of them are just yearning to escape."
Charles chuckled slightly, and gave a nod.
"I am pleased that you two brought it up. I do request as to wait until later and discuss it with the others, as we are also receiving some, old friends."
Charles looked up at the two teens in front of him who were confused looks.
"Who, Professor?" Jean asked with concern.
"Rahne Sinclair and Jubilation Lee have notified me that their families have decided to allow them to come back. Their arrival is today, so I suggest you wait till the get here. But do go ahead and play the idea around. I'm proud of you two for suggesting a helpful idea. It will also give us adults some free time." Scott and Jean nodded and acknowledged Charles.
"Thank you Professor", they stated in unison.
The two mutant teens turned and left, leaving Charles to mentally do a cheer.
It was almost three when Rahne Sinclair arrived.
Jubilation Lee arrived right after her.
Both girls entered the foyer together.
Inside, their good friends rushed up to them and hugged them. Some of the guys smiled, and all the others expressed their gratitude for rejoining the team. Professor X and Ororo Munroe greeted the two girls family just in front of the main doors.
After the greetings, the Professor motioned for Jubilee and Rahne to come over to him.
"I'm very pleased you girls have rejoined", he started. "You will have the same rooms as you did before. Oh, and also, I have received word that there will be a special "outing" tonight. Talk to Scott or Jean if you would like to know more."
The two girls nodded and made their way up the main stairs and toward their rooms.
The Professor and Ororo walked the families to their cars, and watched them leave. As the cars exited the mansion grounds, the Professor looked up at Ororo.
"Please tell Logan and Hank about what will happen tonight, Ororo. We need to plan our own party tonight."
A/U: The adult party isn't that big. Couples needed for the "outing" in the next chapter. The mysterious villain is likely to make another appearance in the next chapter or the one after that. Next chapter will probably be longer.
