My Hero

Jean Grey didn't pay attention at class today. Her mind kept drifting off to Scott. She was like a girl crazy for a hot star. Sixth period came and Jean went for math.

'Scott likes math…' she thought. She thought of the time Scott blabbed math stuff to her when they were thirteen. She accidentally giggled when her math teacher scolded Duncan for drawing chicks in class.

"Find that amusing, Miss Grey?" the teacher said. Jean snapped and looked at the teacher.

"Huh? What? Oh no… Miss Anders! I was just thinking of something amusing…" Jean said blushing. Miss Anders gave her a look that meant 'no day-dreaming in class!' and continued to scold Duncan.

Jean sighed and the bell rang. Jean went to her locker and went for basketball practice. As Jean arrived, her sports teacher, Miss Roth, told her she was of the team because of her mutant powers.

"That's not fair! I practice real hard for this coming game and you kicked me out?" Jean said with anger. The lights shook and many girls screamed.

"You're off the team, Miss Grey!" Miss Roth said. Jean ran out and accidentally took a basketball with her and smashed it to the door. Jean ran down the lonely hall holding back tears. Basketball was her passion and now she was off the team. She met Duncan on the way to her locker.

"Hey Jean, now that you're off the team, you can have more time with me!" Duncan said as he hugged her. Jean pushed him away and slapped him.

"DUNCAN! I broke up with you remember? That means I don't want to do anything with a lock head like you!" Jean said as she started to run again. Duncan held her and gave her an angry look.

"Hey, you're the lock head and no one slaps me like that, Jean, no one!" Duncan slapped her and smashed her to the lockers.

Scott Summers forgot to get his science book in his locker so he went back into the school building. Suddenly, he heard a loud bang down the hallway. He then heard a girl scream. He ran towards the sound and saw…

"Hey! Leave her alone!" Scott said with rage in his voice. Duncan turned around and grin at him.

"Yeh? Well what are you going to do to me, Shades?" Duncan asked hands strangling Jean's throat. Scott reached for his glasses and before he took them off, something hit his neck from behind.

"SCOTT! Leave him alone!" Jean said trying her best to breathe. Duncan smirked and tied her up. He carried her while his friend kicked Scott in his guts. Scott who was almost unconscious on the ground gave a grunt and tried his best to fight his dizziness. He failed and lay on the ground.

Tarryn was walking down the hall after football practice and saw the unconscious Scott on the ground. She ran and shook him.

"Scott! Scott, wake up!" Tarryn said. Scott groaned and his eyes shot open. He saw Tarryn and gripped her hands.

"Tarryn, did you see which way Duncan and his friend went?" Scott asked.

"You mean with Jean tied up on Duncan's shoulder?"

"Ya…"

"Yup, they headed for the old Lady's house." Tarryn said.

"Which one?"

"Why should I tell you? You are not my friend!" Tarryn said and ran away.

Scott didn't waste any time. He tried reaching Jean's mind.

Jean? Can you hear me?

SCOTT! Please help me!

I will, Jean. Just tell me where you are.

I'm in the first old lady's house I think….

Alright! I'm nearly there…

HURRY!

Scott jumped into his car and drove off. It reminded him off the day Jean saw ghosts. 'I hope she doesn't freak out like last time!'

Jean struggle as Duncan touch her face. She tried using her powers on him, but Duncan's new friend ordered her not to harm any of them. 'He must be a mutant' she thought. Duncan kissed her lips harshly which made Jean muffle words from her mouth.

"Jean, this might hurt you more than anything." Duncan said. He motioned his friend to come and he did. His friend held her head and Jean saw many horrible memories shooting her at once. Especially the memory of the ghosts she saw. She let out a scream and Duncan grinned.

Scott Summers finally reached his destination and got off his car. As he reached to front door, he heard a scream from Jean. Scott tried to open the door but he couldn't. He changed his glasses to his visor and shot the door open.

Duncan saw red light coming from the door and knew who it was. He tried calling for his friend but his friend was concentrating too much and couldn't listen to anything besides Jean's screams.

Scott ran and charged at Duncan which Duncan dodged. The second shot did hit Duncan and Duncan fell to the ground. When Duncan looked at Scott, he was shocked to see Scott all red. Scott's visor was surrounded by his red beams and some shot things around himself. Scott's shirt tore and Duncan could tell that his body was extremely boiling hot. Scott's hair was messy as the wind from his eyes brushed it everywhere.

"No one hurts Jean!" Scott said as he shot Duncan. Duncan lay on the floor unconscious. Blood began flooding from his head. Scott looked at Duncan's friend and pulled him off Jean. Jean opened her eyes and was shocked to see Scott's powers. Jean had never seen Scott like that before. Scott gripped the man's hand and Jean could see that smoke came from his hands. Judging by the look on Duncan's friend face, Scott was burning his hand.

"Stay away from her…" Scott said in a threatening voice. The man nodded his face and Scott let him go. Scott looked at the retreating man and his eyes felt heavy. He fell to the ground. Jean ran to him.

"Scott!" Jean said. She touched his bare chest and gasped. She let go off his chest and looked at her hand. He was burning. She took off Scott's visor to see him unconscious. Jean touched his forehead and it was burning higher than his chest. Jean contacted the professor and asked for help.

10 minutes past and Scott was still burning. Kitty arrived with Kurt and saw Scott lying on the ground without his visor on. It was on Jean's hand. Jean turned around and Kitty could have sworn that she was crying.

"Help me! He's still burning…" Jean said. Kitty ran and touch Scott's forehead. She screamed and blew her hand.

"Like, what happen?" she asked, Kurt behind her.

"I don't know. I've never seen his powers like that before." Jean replied worried.

"Vat Happened?" Kurt said.

"Duncan hurt me and Scott rescued me. Because he was angry, his rage took over. I guess that's why he was burning and now he's weak."

"Like, why is that?" Kitty asked.

"Because he used all his strength, powers, and energy." Jean said. Both Kitty and Kurt could see Jean letting a tear out.

"Like, don't worry Jean. Scott will be fine. Kurt? Think you could teleport Scott to the med lab? Hank's there…" Kitty asked.

"Fine… But he's burning!" Kurt said. Looking at Jean, he did as he was told.

'He saved me! My Hero…' Jean said.
