Scott Summers woke up with yet another fantasy dream, they were getting more and more vivid and despite himself he couldn't help but grin and think of what tonight's slumber would produce. He currently walked around his room with cat-like grace to avoid Jean waking up and probing his thoughts. His delicate fingers traveled along the frame of a picture; he turned it over gazing at the date,"1993, Jean and I were dating at the time," he said without any emotion yet his eyes lingered on the young couple, their smiles, their hands enlaced in each others, the love the teenager concealed for the currently only woman in the mansion. He placed the picture back on top of the desk. His eyes jolted to the window as a loud 'boom' ignited from the exhaust engine of an motorcycle, not just any motorcycle, his motorcycle . He quickly walked over leisurely yearning to know exactly what person would be riding a motorcycle in the middle of the night?-he got his answer. "Finally, I thought maybe you would stay in Canada, I guess you couldn't stay away from Jean that long," he smiled wryly as he turned to gaze at his wife and inaudibly said,"You've got your wish Jean, you can have Logan without me knowing it". He walked passed the bed and grabbed his robe then while fastening it, e opened the door to greet the new guest.
Logan's Pov.
"Damn, Scooter needs to get a new bike that one is dragging" he smiled to himself as he thought of One-Eye. "Getting on his nerves while having fun with Red could be highly entertaining." He walked along the pathway to the mansion, his heavy boots making loud stomps as he went, he then sniffed the air and gazed at the door-it didn't open- he sighed in relief knowing that every time he came Rogue would practically leap on him and though she was like a daughter to him the man needed to be able to turn around the corner without hearing, 'Hey Logan, Ah thought Ah sah yah aroun' the halls but Ah guess you didn't see me or hear me fo' that matter." Stubby fingers found their way to the handle door (thankyou chuck for keeping it unlocked-). The door made a loud creeking sound and his body froze to see if Rogue was lurking in the shadows. (No one?) he walked soundlessly towards the kitchen for his usual beer but almost tripped as lights started to flicker on.. He turned around to see "The Fearless" leader stand against the railing of the stairs. "Damn Scott can't a man go to the kitchen without someone turning on all the lights! And shouldn't you be with Red?" he raised an eyebrow playfully and said," Or maybe I should go be with her" he waited to see any sign of agitation from the other man but what he got entirely appalled him, he got a laugh or guffaw. "What the fuck is so funny Scooter?" He smiled to himself as he saw Scott Summers grit his teeth together at the common nickname, but, as soon as Scott was going to respond he noticed another on the steps. "Logan, if you are going to be here to ruin relationships you should leave now and it is Scott not Scooter," a woman glared at Logan with peircing blue eyes while she began to descend from the stairs. Her appearance was rather unusual, she had light mocha skin with blue eyes, big pouty lips, and silver white hair, you don't see that everyday especially not for someone who was born in the northern regions of Africa. Her name described everything about her for Ororo meant 'Beauty' in Swahili.
Logan smirked seductively something he sensed himself doing ever since thinking of Jean. "Why weather witch would you care for a stiff nobody that seems to have a stick up his ass?" he liked pissing off Scott and whether he got an answer or not he didn't care. His eyes roamed at the clothing Ororo Munroe known as 'Storm' was wearing, she wore shorts and a tank top though it felt too cold to be wearing anything that short; on the other hand, she couldn't feel the climates. "The only nobody I see around here is you, Logan, now, if you want to battle you might go to the Brotherhood we don't have time for feuds especially at this time," she pivoted on the ball of her left foot and began to ascend up the stairs and said, "Welcome back Logan" and with a small smile went to her room. (I'm glad to be back darlin'. Hmm, maybe a little too glad). He turned his eyes back to Scott who was still staring at the empty stairs. (What is with him? He isn't getting agitated maybe, just maybe, he finally did get the stick out of his ass), "Hey Scott while you are staring at the stairs I am going to say a nice little hello to Jeanie" he waited for a punch maybe even some sarcastic come back he just received a nod. "I see were you are going here, you are trying to get me upset aren't you? It won't work, you're not getting to me at all," he turned on his heel and began to stalk off towards the kitchen to get a beer or maybe three.
As he looked through the fridge he pursed his lips, "Who the hell drunk all the beer! Cyke doesn't drink and the rest are too young, not to mention Storm and Red are both not heavy drinkers". He slumped in the stool across the corner as he turned around defensively. A man with auburn hair walked passed him, beer in hand, and a pack of cards in the other. (Why didn't I smell him or at least heard him come by?), he thought to himself though he was taken back as the man glared at him with demon eyes -ones which scared you as a child- those red pupils on pitch black irises. "Sorry, mon ami Remy don' know how t'a resist de' beer" he picked up the bottle of Corona and drained it till there wasn't even a drop left. "So mon ami what's dis talk 'bout Jean dat makes my Stormy in a bad mood?" Logan watched him a bit trying to look anywhere else but his eyes, so he decided on the weird guy's fingers which were tapping against a card," Stormy? That has a ring to it you two a couple? She seems a bit outta your league." Remy smiled at the thought and though he would have loved to say 'Yes, as a matter of fact they were', he couldn't risk Rogue finding out about it. "No, mon ami, Stormy and I are not together and of course da weather goddess is out of this Cajun's league but why it be a concern of your's I 'ave no clue" Remy turned on his foot and walked towards the frame of the door but then stop and without turning around he said low and calmly,"I heard abou' you Wolverine de one who cannot die, if you hurt Ororo I'll make sure dat when i'm done wit you you'll wish you could." He smiled mischievously and left the kitchen ready to go back to his dorm. Wolverine scoffed and sat there on the stool; lost in thought. (Do I really have feelings for Ororo Munroe as I did for Red? And what is it with One-Eye, he would have usually hit me. Damnit! None of this would have happen if Chuck would have gotten some more beer) he massaged his temple and got up from the stool and walked over to the couch then turned on the television, though he wasn't thinking of some asshole legislator banning mutants from voting, he was thinking of Ororo and Rogue (where is Rogue anyway? I didn't even get a hello).
Jean's Pov
(Logan is here again and I can't help but feel the anxiousness of seeing him and talking to him. Everything has been great between me and Scott and though I don't want to jeopardize that, I want or have to see Logan again; whether it be I want to be something more than a friend to Logan or just renew our 'friendship'. Hopefully Scott will understand). She paced around the room looking at momentums of pictures and gifts from Scott, she smiled a few times but smiled even more when there was a picture of her, logan, and Rogue: Logan was in the middle smiling wryly as he stood closer to Rogue while Rogue held her 'dog' tags she got from Logan and Jean, well, she was just smiling joyously because she was by the untamed animal. "Rogue gets all the attention both from Logan and from Scott" she said in a sigh but then smirked and said, "though things will change." She walked over to the window and pressed her fingers against the cool glass and looked down at her husband and best friend. She knew they were friends and nothing more but a part of her wanted to just watch to see what would happen, she knew Cyclops loved her and he would never go for the "Ice Queen". "Looks like they need company..." she pivoted on her foot and stalked off through the door and down the stairs trying not to wake up the other students though pretty much all of them were up because of Bobby Drake's loud snoring.
Ororo and Scott stood side by side on the terrace, neither one talking mostly enjoying the nature around them, so carefree, nothing to bother them, at least not at the moment. Her blue eyes traveled to Scott's face yet usually he would just ignore it but he turned to her and though she couldn't see through his quartz glasses she knew his eyes were on her. They were way too close to each other, both bodies almost touching slightly and Ororo, never being in this situation stepped a few paces back, but when she did Scott stepped forward too.(What is he doing?) she thought to herself as her head turned towards the glass door-no one was on the ground floor- "Scott what are you-?" her voice was mildly loud but turned into a whisper and then into a gasp as his lips met hers -she pulled away instantly confused of what or why he was doing it .-(Wasn't he married?) "What was?" before she could answer she saw the glass doors being pulled open by Jean. She almost jumped back from Scott as Scott still stood a bit too near.
(What is with those two? They acted like they saw the Phoenix or something), Jean frowned when she thought about that, such a catastrophe she caused..
"Hello Jean" Cyclops said cooly as his eyes traveled to
Ororo though her eyes were glued to the ground. Ororo looked up and
smiled sadly at Jean, "Hello Jean what are you doing up?"
Jean stared at Ororo for a minute she looked guilty (yet why?). "I
couldn't sleep I heard that Logan came back" Ororo nodded and
both girls stared at Scott to see his reaction to mentioning
Logan-nothing- Storm cocked an eyebrow while Jean narrowed her eyes
and continued, "Hopefully, I'll and the rest of the students
will be able to get to know him better." Cyclops smiled and
said, "Yes, Jean maybe you will" Ororo got the weird
sensation that a fight would erupt between the two, so she decided to
leave, "It is late and classes start tomorrow, I'll see you two
tomorrow for breakfast, goodnight Scott," she turned to leave
and said, "And you Jean". Cyclops reached out to grab her
arm -he still wanted to talk to her- yet Jean walked in front of him
and said, "Goodnight dear friend. Tell me if you see or hear
from Logan". Ororo felt appalled, she just kissed a married man!
Well, he kissed her, but it didn't matter to her, he was married to
one of her best friends and though Jean didn't deserve Scott neither
did Ororo. She walked up the stairs casually slow and towards the
attic where her room was. She laid on her bed her head deep within
her pillow as her thoughts constantly dwelt within her mind (that
kiss was too short) came one of the thoughts, (how could I do this to
a friend who is like a sister to me?), (how could she be attracted to
Logan?), (Scott needs a divorce), (I ...I need Scott), her blue eyes
sprung open as the thought slowly faded away.How was she going to
look at Scott tomorrow or Jean or matter of factly the
professor?

-Next day: 8:00 A.M-
Ororo casually walked along the halls towards the cafeteria, usually she would have walked to the teacher's lounge but Cyclops would most likely be there and she didn't want to see Jean at the moment. She sat down at an empty table sipping a cup of coffee and slowly eating her banana nut muffin while her thoughts trailed off somewhere else. She didn't look up when she saw someone sit down she prayed to the Goddess that it wasn't Scott and as her blue eyes met brown she stared surprisingly at the figure sitting adjacent to her. "You're looking beautiful Storm," said Logan while Storm tried to collect her thoughts. "Thank you Logan and no need to call me by my codename you can call me Ororo" she smiled thankful that it wasn't Jean or Scott. Scott walked along the halls with chocolate milk in his hand and scanned for a particular person and he almost stopped as he saw her and Logan.(What's he doing sitting over there?) he clenched his jaw as he leisurely walked over to the table and sat down across from Ororo. "Morning Ro" he smiled then said, "Logan" the response was a small smile from Ororo and a cheery "hello" while Logan's was a mere scoff and the middle finger. (I should apologize for kissing her now she is being awkward towards me). "Ororo can I talk for you for a moment?" Logan looked at Scott as if he was going to use him for his next punching bag during a training session in the Danger Room and secretly he hoped Ororo wouldn't agree; he still had to talk to her, get to know her better. She looked at Scott for a moment and then at Logan.
( Logan never sits with me, its mostly Jean. Maybe he is trying to become friends, but Scott would never ask me to leave where I am, unless it is urgent) "Okay Scott for a minute then I'll come back and spend some time to get to know Logan" Logan smiled seductfully and glared at Scott while Scott arched an eyebrow and said in a confused tone,"Um, okay". Scott stood up from his seat and waited for Ororo to throw away her empty cup of coffee and the paper wrap of the now eaten muffin. As soon as they were down the hall Scott started to make hand gestures trying to figure out how to apologize to her. Ororo stared at him as if he had gone into cardiac arrest, "Are you okay Scott?" she said giving him her attention while he sighed and said a low murmur,"No, Ororo I'm sorry about ...the..you know" she stopped to think about what to say, (Why would he apologize? Does he regret it?), she frowned and said ,"Do you regret it Scott?" she said while clouds were slowly forming outside about to create a storm if he said 'yes'. He furrowed his eyebrows and said." No, I don't regret it I-" she didn't let him finish and said, "Well, neither do I so don't apologize". Scott stared at her for a moment and felt the craving to kiss her yet she pressed her fingers against his lips and murmured, "Though I don't regret the kiss I do regret that we are doing this to Jean and that you are married". She sighed and then pivoted on the heel of her foot making her way back to Logan hoping not to put all her emotions on her sleeve. Scott mumbled something as he walked to the staircase and sat down on the lonely steps trying to think of what could be done to get out of the situation, that situation being his marriage. The professor pushed his way through the deserted halls and noticed Scott and asked, "What is wrong my son? You seem confused about something." Scott looked up and stared at him for a while and then said, "I don't want to be married to Jean anymore and I don't know how to…well, break it off with her." he didn't mean to say that out loud but it was easier to say than rather have his mentor read his thoughts. "I think if Jean feels the same thing then you should talk about it, but Scott once you are married you vow to love them no matter what, I hope you two can work it out" Scott sighed and said,"I hope so" though when he heard "I hope you two can work it out" he was thinking of him and Ororo. He walked up to his dormitory to have a little chat with Jean.
Ororo was about to walk over to the table where Logan was but noticed
Jean talking to Logan, which made her frown and said, "Like
always". As she walked out of the large room and towards the
mansion's outdoors and hopefully talk to Remy. She walked outside
embracing the sunlight rays and stared at the figure in front of her.
"Hello Rogue do you know where Remy is? I was hoping to talk to
him". Rogue turned around and smirked and said, "He is out
for the moment but Ah could talk to you. if you want" she turned
around to gaze at the grounds while Storm walked beside her and said,
You would probably be more easier to talk to. Remy knows me too
well".She sighed as she grasped the railing of the frame of the
balcony and mumbled," I did something terrible Rogue. I just
told someone who is in a relationship that I didn't regret him
kissing me and I don't want to be the one who breaks up what they
have" Rogue stared at Ororo for a moment not believing that it
was Storm in front of her. Jean possibly, but not Ororo. "Just
because you told whoever it was that you don't regret that kiss
doesn't mean he would want to break up with his girlfriend" she
added before Ororo replied, "Their relationship has gone
downhill but I shouldn't have helped it go further down to breakup"
Rogue didn't know what to say but asked, "Who is this couple,
Katherine and Piotr? Jubilation and Bobby? Logan and, Ah am not sure
who he's dating, if he dates at all." Ororo didn't want to
confess that it was a married couple so she merely said, "Its
just an old friend" She turned around and walked towards the
doors and said, "Rogue thank you for trying to help me with my
situation I hope even if this mess doesn't get cleaned up I can come
to you" Rogue smiled and said, "Anytime sugah, anytime"
she watched as Ororo walked back inside and towards her attic room.
-Meanwhile- Jean got up from the table and said, "What has
gotten into you Logan?You ignore everyone around you, whatever you
found in Canada about your past shouldn't affect your life here"
she turned on her heels and walked up stairs sighing, thinking, (Why
is he ignoring me?), she pushed open the door to see Scott sitting on
the bed and holding a small frame of herself. "We need to talk"
he said slowly while she rolled her eyes and said, "What
about?". (Yet, another one of his 'talks' about his life and
mine) "About us" he said standing up and walking over to
her. "Us? What about us", Jean said sitting down on the bed
and arching an eyebrow. Cyclops sighed and said, "I want a
divorce Jean" Jean gasped as if she had been stabbed in the
back, "But why? Scott we have had a few problems, sure, but we
have gotten over them. You surely can't mean what you are saying!"
Scott took a step back closer to the door and replied, "The
problems we have been having is more than a few and we have never
worked them out you just toss them aside. And you love Logan you
can't deny that and with me gone you can have your chance at him
without hurting me and I assure you Jean I do want a divorce."
He pushed open to the door just when he heard Jean said, "You'll
come back Scott Summers mark my word, you need me much more than I
need you!" her voice was a little shaky and she started to break
down in tears as Scott walked hurriedly down the halls as the teens
stared at him in
confusion.

-This is an
update more will come later when I am no longer hungry. Please pardon
my horrible punctuation; to place it nicely, I suck at it.
Furthermore, I really would adore a twist within a story seeing as
the one I had in mind seems a bit over the edge dramatic, in a
soap-operish way.
