Jean entered through the window, and she turned the lights on with her tk.
Where were ya, Jeannie? We have been searching for you during hours- Logan said, opening the door.
Hey, Logan, uhm, I was... with a friend- Jean said, startled.
Chuck, I mean, the professor wants to meet you in his office, now- Logan said.
Thanks Logan- Jean said, leaving.
Jean finally made it to the professor's office. She knocked the door.
Come in- the professor said from inside. Jean entered.
Did you want to see me?- Jean said.
Indeed, please take sit, Jean- The professor said. Jean sat down.
What did you want to talk about?- Jean said.
First of all, I don't consider correct going out through a window. Please use the doors, Jean, you know you can go out whenever you want- the professor said.
Sorry- Jean said.
Second and most important, I name you leader of the X-men since Scott is gone- the professor said, stopping, knowing Jean would be out of control hearing the painful words, but instead that, she only nodded.
I don't know if I can do that, professor, but I'll try my best- She said. The professor was impressed.
Thank you, Jean- the professor said, trying to hide the surprise in his voice, but failing. Jean went out of the room. When she was heading to her room, Kitty, Kurt, Rogue and Evan intercepted her.
Hey, Jean, like, wanna hang out with us? Like, we haven't had much fun last days- Kitty said.
Ja, ve are going to the cinema to vatch the movie of that demon hunter- Kurt said.
Yo, what do you say?- Evan said.
Ok, guys- Jean said.
Then let's go- Rogue said.
Meanwhile, Scott was arriving to his house. He attached the boat to the port and went inside. He searched for his new father. He found him in the common room.
Son, I'm glad you're here, I want you to meet Leslie Collucci- Jack said. Scott tried his best not to look annoyed, he had been just rejected, he just didn't want to meet more girls, not in that moment.
Nice to meet you- Scott said, smiling.
Nice to meet you too, Christopher- Leslie said, shaking Scott's hand.
Where are you from?- Scott asked.
Well, my family comes from Italy, but I'm american- Leslie said.
Why don't you two go and hang out a while?- Jack said.
That sounds great! I mean, if Christopher's ok with it- Leslie said. She obviously found Scott attractive.
Sure- Scott said. He found Leslie pretty attractive too, but he felt like if he was betraying Jean. But why? Jean had accepted Duncan and Daniel, and she actually rejected him? He didn't have a chance with her and he knew it... He sighed and decided to give Leslie an opportunity, she was definitely good looking: about two inches shorter than him, blond, with beautiful green eyes, just like his.
Let's go then- Leslie said, taking his hand. Scott smiled and started walking. He took the car key from his pocket. He started wondering which of the cars that were there was his.
The red convertible it's yours, sir- the maid said. Scott thanked her and opened the door for Leslie.
Thanks, Christopher, you're such a gentleman- she said, smiling. Scott just smiled back and went to his own sit.
Do you want to go to the movies?- Scott asked, driving.
That would be great! What movie shall we watch?- Leslie asked.
I'm ok with any movie- Scott said. They arrived to the cinema. They went to see which movie would start soon.
We have three choices: Near Sun, Midnight Moon or The demon hunter- Leslie said.
Which one would you like to see?- Scott said.
I've already seen Midnight Moon, and I really wouldn't like to see Near Sun, so... The demon hunter, it will start in 10 minutes- Leslie said. Scott smiled and went to buy the tickets. When he got them, they went to the snack bar.
I'd like popcorn and a soda, Christopher- Leslie said.
Ok. It'll be nachos, popcorn and two sodas, please- Scott said to the cashier, paying everything.
Here you are- The cashier said, giving him his change and the popcorn, nachos and soda.
Thanks- Scott said, taking the popcorn and the nachos, while Leslie took both sodas. They both entered to the movie. They found sits near the back. The movie hadn't started yet. Scott took a look of the cinema, and he saw Lance and his buddies there. He was surprised to see Jean and the others there too. Leslie took his hand and slowly approached to him, covering his lips with hers. Scott didn't put resistance, and just kissed back.
Hey, like, the new hot popular guy in school is sitting in the back, isn't he so cute?- Kitty said, noticing Scott's presence.
Yeah, he's hot- Rogue said.
Who are you talking about?- Jean said., knowing they were talking about Scott.
Look near the last row, he's next to a blond girl- Kitty said.
The chick he's with it's pretty hot too- Evan said.
Ja, too bad he's dating her- Kurt said.
How do you know he's dating her?- Jean said, still not turning around.
Obviously, because he's kissing her- Evan said. Jean immediatly turned around to see that Evan wasn't lying: Scott was kissing her. She got so jealous in that moment that she accidently made his seat fall backwards. In that moment everyone turned to see what happened. Jean immediatly turned back her attention to the movie, hopping Scott wouldn't have noticed her presence. Suddenly, it started trembling. They all started to exit.
Leslie, please, go out, I'll follow you in a moment- Scott said.
But- Leslie said.
No buts, now get out of here- Scott said. Leslie nodded and ran out of the cinema. When Leslie was out, many pieces of concret fell, blocking the entrance. Scott ran to the common area in the cinema. He hid behind the snack bar to wait for the ones he knew had caused everything: the brotherhood. About a minute later, the brotherhood went to the common are, followed by the X-men.
What do you want?- Jean said.
We have orders to eliminate you as soon as possible while you're without a leader- Lance said.
Then you're too late, I am the leader- Jean said.
If Summers was bad, I bet you'll be worse!- Lance said.
Don't you dare to talk about Scott, Lance- Jean warned.
Ja, you leave at least his memory alone!- Kurt said.
Or else?- Lance said.
You'll regret it- Rogue said.
Bring it on- Lance said.
Ok, I'm tired of hearing, can't we just beat them up?- Wanda said.
I agree- Lance said, causing another earthquake. The others started attacking.
We can't beat them, Jean, they're too powerful!- Rogue shouted.
We can't hold them for long, Jean!- Evan said. They all got involved in different fights. Lance and Freddy had taken out Kurt, Pietro had taken out Evan, Rogue and Kitty had taken out Pietro, Wanda had taken out Kitty and Rogue, and Jean had taken out Wanda. Now Jean was growing more and more tired, and she had to fight against the Blob and Lance.
Finally, Jeannie, we have beat you- Lance said, kind of mocking.
You took us by surprise- Jean said.
Shut up, and now prepare for battle- Lance said. Freddy and him stepped forward. Jean really didn't want to fight in that moment.
You owe me a date, Jeannie, and I assure you it's going to be hot- Freddy said, approaching.
You're sick, Fred!- Jean said when Freddy took her wrist. He suddenly felt something knocking him out cold. Scott jumped from behind the bar and shot Freddy with a blue ray.
See how it feels?- Scott said, looking at Lance, and kind of mocking at him.
This is non of your bussines, McMiller, get out of here before I hurt you- Lance said.
This is my bussines- Scott said, shooting Lance and hitting him with a powered red ray. Lance started bleeding. Scott smiled and then shot a blue shot, and this time Lance fell unconscious.
Take them to the car, Leslie is waiting for me- Scott said, not looking at Jean. Jean could clearly hear kind of pain in his voice.
Just one more thing, Scott- Jean said.
What?- Scott said, not turning to see her yet.
How do your powers function?- Jean asked.
Blue: knocks out. White: knocks out taking memories, energy and powers temporaly. Black: knocks out taking memories, energy and powers forever. In objects they just destroy in different levels of power. See you around- Scott said.
He opened up a hole from near there and got out to meet Leslie.
He found Leslie outside.
Sorry baby, I was trapped inside- Scott said.
Don't worry, Chris- Leslie said. She captured his lips once again and he kissed back during quite a while. The X-men finally were going out from the cinema, conscious again. When Jean saw them, she bit her lower lip and walked away.
Hey, wait for us!- Evan said. They all got in the X-van as Jean drove away.
