Chapter 8: Prioritising Whom To Save First
The group had just gotten back from school.
Jean got out of Scott's car and sighed.
God, six and a half hours is just too long.
She hauled her school bag up to her room.
I have so much homework. Better start.
She heard a knock on her door.
"Come in." She opened the door with her telekinesis.
"Hey Jean." Scott swept her up in a hug.
Better start…later
"What do you want oh gorgeous boy of mine?" She laughed as he tickled her bare stomach.
"Logan's organised a Danger Room session." He gently dropped her to the floor.
"You better get suited up." He stood at the door. She looked at him.
"Scott, get out!" She laughed and attempted to push him out the door.
He smiled, "Nah I think I'd rather stay here."
She laughed and suddenly he tripped out the door.
"Hey that's not fair. You don't see me using my power on you!" The door slowly closed.
"Good bye Scott!" She laughed as she heard him walk towards his room.
XxxxXXXXxxxX
Logan glared down at the team in front of him. Scott, Jean, Rogue, Kitty, Kurt and Evan had just come back from school.
A good time to test their skills.
He looked towards Jean and Scott; they were holding hands.
"I want nothing different from you two. Just a normal Danger Room session. No prioritising between whom to save first."
Their hands dropped to their sides.
"That's better."
He looked to the whole team now.
"This session will be on the regular level. I've adjusted the computer to a sequence on something you might find out there in the real world."
Kurt looked at Kitty.
"He's gonna teach us how to change a baby's diaper?"
Kitty chuckled gaining a smile from Kurt.
"Begin," Logan huffed and got the sequence running.
A large sentinel appeared before them.
"What the hell is this?" The giant metal arm aimed at Kurt and flashed a bright red.
"Kurt!" Kitty yelled from the other end of the room.
He disappeared in a puff of smoke, the beam from the sentinel hitting the hard metal surface of the Danger Room.
They continued on like this.
Scott tried his best to hit a weak spot.
Jean tried her best to find objects to throw at the metal beast.
Kitty and Kurt dodged every attempt at being disintegrated by the machine.
Evan shot spikes in every direction. And I mean every direction…
"Evan!" Kitty screamed phasing through a spike.
"Sorry!"
He stood in front of Rogue in an effort to protect her.
Scott shot a look at Kitty.
"Kitty do you think you can phase inside it and destroy its inner mechanisms?" He shouted across the room.
She looked to him and nodded.
"If you think it'll work."
She turned to Kurt.
"Get me up there." He took her hand and they appeared on the head of the sentinel.
"Bye!" Kitty waved as she phased through.
There were wires everywhere. Kitty phased through them all and found her way to the main controls of the sentinel.
She placed her hand on it.
"Here we go!"
Nothing happened.
"Why won't it work?" She screamed. She phased through the side of the metal.
"Scott!" He was fighting beside Jean. They were back to back; she being his defence, him her attack.
He looked in Kitty's direction.
"When I get out, hit, like, right here. It's, like, the main function thingy!' She phased down through the leg and met Kurt at the bottom.
"Let's go."
They 'bamfed' to where Rogue and Evan were standing.
Scott noticed that Kitty had phased through and was with Kurt. He focused his visor onto the sentinel.
"Jean, get back."
The sentinel suddenly charged up again. It aimed at Jean.
"JEAN!"
She turned around and was met with a red blast. She tried her hardest to keep the force field up but with all the other force fieldsto uphold, hers diminished.
"SCOTT!" Everything went black.
He ran in her direction. He felt the link go silent.
Oh no, oh no, oh no
"Scott!" He could hear Kitty's voice from the other side of the room.
"SCOTT!"
Why is Rogue yelling at me too? I need to wake Jean up!
"Jean? Come on! Wake up! It's me Scott."
"SCOTT!"
Now Evan's screaming?
He turned around.
The sentinel had cornered the four of them. Without Jean's force field they had no protection.
"Scott, like, shoot it already." Kitty screamed and for some reason still said the word 'like' in ultimate panic.
The system suddenly shut down.
The four of them took in a deep breath.
"Zat was close, ya?" Kurt sighed.
Scott picked up Jean's limp body.
Logan met him at the door.
"What did I tell you, Scott?"
Scott walked straight past.
"I need to get her to the infirmary."
XxxxXXXXxxxX
Scott sat beside Jean's bed.
"Hank, is she gonna be okay?" He held her hand tight.
"Just fine Scott. I guess the amount of power she used to generate force fields plus the increased force of the hit…well she just gave up. She'll be fine."
Scott smiled.
"Thanks."
xX Scott I'd like to see you in my office. Xx
Professor Xavier's voice rang through his head.
Reluctantly, Scott dropped Jean's hand and made his way to the Professor's office.
XxxxXXXXxxxX
"Scott?"
The Professor looked at his oldest recruit.
Scott lifted his head.
"Professor, I'm so sorry, it's just that Jean and…"
"Yes I know Scott."
He moved out from behind the table and closer to where Scott was standing.
"You two are my oldest and dearest students. You're like a son to me, Scott. I don't want any of you getting hurt. But I don't want the newer students getting hurt either. Scott, you're their leader. You have to be strong."
Scott looked down at the floor.
"But, Jean…" he whispered.
"Can take of herself."
Scott nodded.
"Just be careful, Scott."
He nodded again and trudged out the door.
XxxxXXXXxxxX
Scott returned an hour later to the infirmary.
He held a piece of paper in his hands.
"Jean, I know you can't hear me but I need to get this out."
He sat down beside the bed. He held her hand again.
"Jean, this afternoon was unfortunate. And I think I may live with the guilt for the rest of my life. Also another guilt, which I guess you may need to know about."
He smiled.
"Jean, you're the kindest person I've ever met. You're sweet and beautiful."
Oh god, so beautiful.
"Any guy would be lucky to have you."
His smile faded.
"But I guess I'm not so lucky. For the sake of the team I think…"
His heart was breaking just looking at her pale face.
"I think we should break up."
"I know you can't hear me and I don't think I could face you and say all this without resisting and kissing you but…well it's all in this."
He placed the paper on the table beside her. On the front he had scrawled 'Jean'.
He kissed her forehead.
"I'm so sorry Jean, so sorry…"
As Scott turned to leave the room, Jean's eyes slowly opened, revealing one single glistening tear.
XxxxXXXXxxxX
A/N:I told you there'd be break-ups! But will there be make-ups? Hmmm…
I hope you liked this chapter; it's one of my longest! The holidays are nearly over so there won't be so much time to update! Unless you really motivate me in your reviews! It's probably been really annoying anyway. I think I've updated about three times this week! Yes so motivate me and I might make it four!
REVIEW! THAT'S AN ORDER…please!
