Here are my answers to the reviews I got for chapter 4:
Diaz F: There's more to the story – I just kept forgetting to answer my reviews… I'm glad to here you'll support my stories!
Amazing redd phoenix: Scott's pride could get him in trouble, that's for sure, but we love him anyways.
Wen1: This next chapter is slightly longer – thanks for reviewing each chapter!
Chapter 4
Rogue glanced back at Scott and Jean, called for everyone to stop and for Kitty to faze them through anything that could come their way. Then she called out to Scott, "Ya want us to wait for ya guys?"
Scott scowled indignantly. "Finish," he called back. He silently vowed never to make his team say anything like that to him ever again.
It's not your fault you got injured, baby, Jean interrupted his thoughts.
Jean! You know your not supposed to eavesdrop!
But your so interesting babe! Scott – you know I'd never enter your mind uninvited! You were projecting.
Scott was silent as he watched his teammates cross the finish line. That's when everything went wrong.

Two claws came out from the floor and grabbed Jean, then a wall came up from behind her and two more claws grabbed her struggling arms. She was helpless.
"Stay still," Scott told her before clicking his visor to let out
his beams to a short range. He hesitated a moment, what would he do
if he hit her?
Scott, please, don't worry about hitting me!
Jean's voice rang in his head. She was panicking. He took aim and
fired, freeing her right arm. He slowly did the same with her left
arm and legs. Then the spears came.

Bobby's brow furrowed when he saw the attack that was inflicting itself upon the two older teenagers. It was pretty bad, but they couldn't do anything about it! Once you cross the line – you're not allowed to go back over.
"What are we gonna do?" Evan asked no one in particular. The question hung on the air for a full minute.
"There's nothing we can do," Bobby stated gloomily.

Jean and Scott were making a pretty good team. Jean would put up a shield to stop half the spears while Scott would blast away the rest. Pain shot up Scott's leg every time he used his powers and he ended up on one knee.
You okay? Jean glanced at him nervously.
Scott began to smile but it turned into a grimace as another shot of pain filled him. Fine he lied once more.
Scott! I hate it when you try to cover things up like that! Jean whined. Her concentration broke for a second and Scott had to hit a spear before it hit her.
Concentrate Jean! Scott thought softly but firmly.
It's hard to concentrate when I know your hurtin' babe.
