A/N: Thanks for the reviews. I know X3 comes out May 26th in the US and I'm now writting chapter eight but I think I will have it done before my dead line. (One day before X3 comes out.) If I see the movie before I finish then it will effect how this story ends but I'm pretty sure that I'll have it done. I don't know how long this is gonna be but we'll see. I know you all have found spelling mistakes and I know they annoy some people but I know they are there and I'm trying my best to get them fixed but I've got other things to do besides manage my stories. Anyway, I hope you like this chapter just as you've liked all the other ones. Enjoy
Later that night, Logan, Storm and Xavier sat in the med-lab, around Jean, talking. "You say she was fighting against you?"
"Yes." Storm replied, "It seemed she didn't recognize us at all. Its like she's a whole different person."
"I don't know about that, Storm, but something has changed."
"What you mean?" Logan asked not quite understanding. Jean looked the same to him. She had had her uniform on, until Storm took it off so they could run some tests. Now she had a black tanktop and matching black shorts, which were clothes that Logan had never seen Jean in. Her beautiful red hair was brighter, somehow, and longer than before but there wasn't really anything different about her.
"I scene a great deal of power insode of Jean. Its as if her powers are building up waiting to escape. I don't know what it is but I have a feeling that it is not good."
There was silence for a moment as Logan crossed his arms looking at Jean and then at Xavier and siad, "Why don't you read her mind and find out?"
"I can't do that, Logan."
"You did it for me, not to mention Senitor Kelly! why can't you do it for Jean?" Logan asked raising his voice at Xavier.
Xaiver looked Logan in the face and calmly said, "Logan, you are not a telepath and neither was the Senator but Jean is and I'm afraid that this change has made her a very powerful one at that. She may be able to block even me out entirely."
"Could you at least try?" Storm asked knowing that Logan was irritated with xaiver but it was only becuase he loved Jean. Xaiver sighed as he wheeled himself over to Jean, placed his hands on either side of her head, much like he had done with Senator Kelly and said, ""Perhaps one try wouldn't hurt." He closed his eyes as he entered Jean's mind. There he saw images of her rising from Alkili Lake, nothing different about out except her hair was now down to her waist. Xavier also saw Jean's last moments before the water took over her and he saw how at peace she was. How easy it had suddenly become for her to use her powers as she had done.
Suddenly, Xavier felt he was being attacked and when he tried to pull away from Jean's mind, he could not.
Scott sat in abar, not too far from Alkili Lake, with a beer in one hand and wings in the ohter. The wings were hot and the beer was cold and Logan hadn't said anything but Scott had a feeling that the man had been here, maybe even more than once. After Scott had thrown his com-link into the lake, he'd gotten on his motorcycle and just drove. He didn't know where he wanted to go but he ended up in this bar and he hope he could forget about everything that had happened, even if it was just for a little while but just as Scott finished his third beer, he suddenly got a headache. In the shock of the pain, Scott dropped the beer glass, which broke upon impact with the floor.
"Hey, man you all right?" the bartender asked, "You don't look so hot."
"I'm fine. It's just a bad headache that's all. Hey can I get another beer?" Scott asked placing his head in his hands as the bartender gave him a new beer but Scott knew this wasn't just any headahe. The only time he got headaches that felt like his head was going to explode was when Jean used her telepathy, to contact him or something like that. He had never really gotten the hang of the permanet link that Jean had set between them but when ever they were on a mission, Jean would be sure to use her telepathy to subdue the pain but what Scott didn't understand was, why he was having one now. Jean was gone, wasn't she? He'd seen her fall beneith the water, just as everyone else had. How could he be having this headache now? Maybe his body was just giving him a headache beacuse he was so used to haveing them but that didn't seem to make any scene to Scott. Perhaps it was just a normal headache but what ever it was, it hurt like hell.
"Hey, Joe." the man sitting next to Scott yelled at the bartender as Scott tried to drink his beer and ignore the pain in his head, " Can we turn this mutie crap off?"
Scott looked at the screen adn saw a bunch of mutants fighting on the channel twelve news but just as Joe was about to turn the channel, something caught Scott's eye.
"Wait!" Scott yelled, standing up and looking at the screen. He saw Logan, Storm, Rogue, Bobby and Colossus fighting and he would have let Joe turn the channel if he hadn't seen a long, red headed woman fly up in the air and start picking up cars and other objects. "Jean!" He said as he continued to watch. He saw Colossus propel Logan into the air and grab Jean and then fog covered everything. The footage ende and thenews went back to the people in the news room.
"Can I turn it now?" Joe asked looking from the TV to the place where Scott was standing but only found the money that he owed for the beers adn wings.
"What's his problem?" A man asked as Joe turned the channel. Joe shrugged and said, "Beats me."
A/N: Hope you liked it. Sorry I ended it like that but I didn't think I could end it any other way. Anyway, This chapter was easier to write than chapter six was and chapter seven will be even easier. I know that in the comics Jean and Scott didn't have the link until she became Phoenix(before Dark Phoenix) but someone suggested I put it in and I thought it was a great idea. Please review.
