Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters, except for Katherine and Kevin, and any more to appear in future chapters.

Sorry for the delay. I have been overwhelmed with scholarships and college applications. I typed this chapter bit by bit as I had open windows of times. Again, sorry for the delay.

Also, things in this chapter might not match the comics, and I am sorry. I haven't read the comics, and so I don't know exactly how some of these things happen. Forgive any differences between the chapter and the comics, please.

Chapter Five: A Visitor

The twins followed Storm through the halls of the mansion. They appreciated the kindness of the young woman. Kevin averted his gaze, and saw a young man with a visor of some sort over his eyes coming down the steps.

"Miss Storm, may I ask you a question?"

"Yes, Kevin."

Kevin pointed towards Scott.

"Is he okay? He looks as if he is a little bit depressed."

"Scott has been through a lot recently." Storm turned and faced the twins. "About a month and a half before you came, Kitty, we were on a mission at Alkali Lake. Scott, Logan, Kurt and I were all there, along with Rouge and Bobby. Also with us was a woman named Dr. Jean Grey. She and Scott were very close. We were unable to get the jet started and we were racing against time. A dam had broken and the water was heading right for us. Jean, who was telepathic and telekinetic, left the jet and walked to the front. She brought the jet engines back online, and raised the jet by herself, while also holding the raging floodwaters back. Once the jet was up in the air, she stopped her force against the water, and that is the last we saw of her. Scott has withdrawn from us since then."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know he had gone through that much. I know what it feels to loose a loved one right in front of you," Kevin told Storm. "Our parents were murdered right in front of us. We weren't given any time to mourn them. I still haven't been able to get over their deaths."

Scott reached the bottom of the steps and walked towards the twins and Storm.

"Good morning Storm," Scott said gloomily.

"Morning Scott. I'd like you to meet Kitty and Kevin, our newest additions to the school."

"Hello, sir." Kitty responded.

"Hello. I'm sorry. I've got to go." Scott replied, as he turned and left.

"Now I have a question for you Kitty."

"Yes?"

"When we were retrieving Kevin, you walked out of the jet and stopped the guards with electricity from your hands. I thought you were only able to turn invisible and go through walls. How were you able to produce electricity?"

"Kevin, I think you'd better explain this," Kitty said.

"Our parents were unaware of our abilities for about a year and a half. They found out by accident. They didn't want their children to be different than other people our age. They took us to a country doctor who claimed that he could remove the powers of mutants. He injected us with something, and told our mother that our powers would be gone in about two weeks. Well, three weeks later, we still had our powers, and we discovered that we had somehow gotten more powers. Kitty could produce electricity, and I could produce any image you want, making it look real. We still don't know how we got the second, unrelated powers."

"Well, I guess that answers my question." Storm said. "I have a class in a few minutes. I'll leave you two to get to your classes."

"Alright, ma'am."

The twins started to walk past the main door for the stairs when there was a knock on the door. Kevin and Kitty looked at each other, and walked towards the door. Kevin opened it, and the two saw a hooded and cloaked figure standing on the doorstep.

"Is the professor here now?" The quiet voice asked.

"Yes, he has a class right now, but I can go get him, if you want." Kevin said.

"Yes, please. I have a feeling he'll want to see me."

Kitty ran off towards the professor's office, as Kevin invited the guest in and closed the door behind them. Kitty came to the professor's door, and knocked.

"Come in," the voice said from inside.

Kitty entered.

"I'm sorry professor, but there's someone at the door asking for you. They said that they had a feeling you'd want to see them."

"Do you have any idea who it is?"

"No sir. The person is hooded and cloaked. Kevin and I could not see their face."

"Alright. Class, I shall be back momentarily. Please stay here until I return."

The professor wheeled out of his office, followed by Kitty. The pair made their way down the hall until they met Kevin and the stranger.

"Hello professor. It's been a while since you last saw me."

"Do I know you?"

"Yes, you do. It's been about two months, I'd say."

The professor looked quizzically at the mysterious figure.

"Two months? Two months ago we were at Alkali Lake."

"Exactly."

The professor looked harder at the figure and then a look of understanding passed over his face.

"Jean?"

There was a slight pause. The figure reached up to the hood that covered their head, and removed it.

"Jean! It's you!"

The woman smiled.
"Yes, professor, I'm back."

"Jean!"

The professor paused, and the two looked at each other. He then turned to the twins.

"Oh, pardon me. Where are my manners? Jean, these are our two newest students, Katherine "Kitty" and Kevin Pryde. Kevin and Kitty, this is Dr. Jean Gray."

"Hello Doctor. It's nice to meet you," Kevin said as he smiled.

"Is Scott still here? And the others?"

"Yes, they are all still here. In fact, Kevin and Kitty, could you go get them? Have them enter at the same time. Oh, and don't tell them that I have a visitor, or what her name is. Mention her to none of them, alright?"

"Sure thing Professor. Come on Kitty."

As the twins left, the Professor turned to look at Jean.

"Jean! It's really you! I can't believe it!"

"I know. I have been trying to get back all this time."

"Well, it's good to have you back."

The twins walked down the hall in search of their teachers, and came upon Storm's class. They knocked on the door.

"Come in," the voices said from within.

The two entered.

"Miss Munroe," Kevin began "the professor wants you in his office."

"Alright. Class, you may go to your rooms."

The students got up and noisily exited the room. She followed the twins as they stopped and got Logan, Kurt and Scott. The six of them arrived at the professor's door and knocked.

"Come in."

Kevin opened the door and entered, followed by his twin and the four members of the X-men. The mysterious woman sat in a chair by the professor's desk. The hood was once more over her head.

"Thank you for coming. I have someone here that wants to see you."

He turned to the figure, who proceeded to get up and walk forward.

"Thank you, sir." She said, her voice changing. "I believe all of you, except for these two teenagers, actually know me. But, it has been a while since I last saw you."

"If ve know you then vhy is your head covered?"

"To see how well you know me, Kurt."

"How do you know my name?"

The mysterious person made no response.

"Tell us something more about yourself," Scott piped up.

"I don't need to Scott. You know more about me than anyone here does."

Scott paused a moment, and looked slowly at the person in the cloak.

"It can't be. Can it? Jean?"

The room was silent for a few seconds. Then the figure lifted their hands up and removed the hood. A redheaded female appeared.

"Hello Scott."

Scott's eyes grew very large as he looked at his love.

"Jean! How-Wha-Wh-Jean?"

The woman smiled at Scott.

"Yes, it's me."

The professor turned to the twins, and suggested to them via telepathy that they should all leave the room and let Jean and Scott have some time to themselves. The twins turned around and left, followed by the professor.

Scott looked at Jean and smiled. He walked over to her, and planted a large kiss on her lips. She then embraced him, and the two continued to kiss and make up for loss time.

I'm sorry about the last line. I really stink at writing kissing scenes. Also, don't fear, this isn't the end. There is more to come.
