TIMELESS
Another time. Another place.
Seventeen year-old Jean Grey looked out the windshield blankly. She looked at the night sky with wonder. The stars looked beautiful tonight. If only everybody would appreciate them. She looked to Scott and appreciated him being next to her at the moment. Without him, she would not be able to do this.
Scott looked out the windshield with his hands firmly on the steering wheel of his red convertible. He also looked blankly outside and lost at the words he needed to choose to tell Jean. He wanted to tell her that he loved her. He wanted to say it in so many ways but he did not know where to start. He wanted to tell her that he wanted no one else but her. He just needed to muster up the strength, bravery, and right words to tell her. "Do you think they'll listen?" Scott said as his eyes turned to her for a second behind his ruby quartz sunglasses.
Jean looked towards him and smiled with reassurance. "Well we have to try, don't we?" she said with hope. They were headed to a conference at the school. After the incident with the sentinels and them revealing to the world mutants existed, citizens of Bayville were not too happy about plenty of them attending school with their children. Someone had to start peace starting small and Professor Xavier had chosen her to speak in front of all those people. Jean had no problem with public speaking, but she feared what the aftermath of her speech would be. What if the result is them being forbidden from school grounds, all because of Jean's possible unconvincing speech?
"Jean," Scott said lightly as he stared straight ahead to avoid eye contact with her. He knew no one could see his eyes behind his sunglasses, but he had a feeling at all times that Jean could. She knew. As if she had seen his eyes before and studied every aspect of them. It scared him sometimes, but in a loving way. But he turned to her to find the right words and knew that the only words needed to be said were the ones he saw floating in her eyes. "I love you." They kept eye contact until it was time for Scott to revert his eyes back to the road.
Jean's eyes grew wide and glistened as she looked past the red glare on his sunglasses. She smiled widely at him and said, "I love you too Scott. I always will," Jean said whole-heartedly as he gave her a smile back.
Something sudden came in sight of the front glass of the car. "SCOTT LOOK OUT!!!" Jean exclaimed as she attempted to stop the truck with telekinesis. But the strong headlights flashed before their eyes and the sound of a truck's motor came towards their range of sound. For an instant their hearts raced and for another their hearts could not beat any longer.

The line was straight as the loud sound of the machine rang through the air. Kitty, Kurt, Rogue, Beast, Ororo, Logan, and Professor Xavier stood there as their hearts sank. The sight of their team mates and, more importantly, their family members with scratches and deep bruises made them cringe. The dried blood on their arms, necks, and faces was traumatizing to their eyes. They watched silently as the machines rang with that straight line running across the screen.
The doctor looked to them with sympathy as he professionally reached to unplug the machine that was running a straight line. The sound was deafening. Everyone watched and waited for a miracle. Any sound from their friends, their family.
The doctor looked away from them and reached for the plug lightly.
But a different sound began to emanate through the room like warm and low thunder. A sound of hope.
"Wait!" Logan yelled gruffly at the doctor as he looked at the machine. The waved lines began to overlap the straight one slowly. The doctor looked to them with confused lines upon his forehead. He put the machine on the table and looked at the machine again.
"It's a miracle," the doctor said with a surprised expression. He got to work with the machine's around him to revitalize their bodies. When he was done and everything was working fine he looked to everyone in the room with hope written on their faces and said the most beautiful words spoken, "Looks like your friends get another chance."
