Sorry it took me so long to get another chapter up. First I went on Xmas vacation, then I got sick. So just read and review, and give me feedback, it keeps me writing!

Chapter 5

Beast ran in and moved Scott aside. "Leave, I have work to do. And that means you too,
Donovan." Beast pushed them out the door and shut it.

Scott and Donovan paced back and forth. Kurt watched them, one eye following one, the other following the other. Finally he shook his head in exasperation.

"Vould you guys cut it out? You're making me dizzy." Kurt groaned.

Scott looked at him. "Would you have me do otherwise? I could be biting my nails, or yours."

Logan chuckled. Kurt yelped as Scott trod on his tail. Holding it to him, he answered,
"No, I like how I look, thank you. Please continue."

Scott nodded and resumed his pacing. Donovan, however, had sat down. The door opened. Beast exited.

The look on his face told it all. "I-"

"No! Not her too!" Scott moaned and sank to his knees.

"Scott, let me finish." Beast said, laying a and on Scott's shoulder. "She survived. It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen. One moment she was gone, the next she was conscious and asking for you. She's not even crazy anymore. Go in and see her."

Scott smiled and lay a hand on Beast's shoulder. "Thanks."

"Think nothing of it. What was I supposed to do? Stand and say, 'Well, this one's hopeless'? I think not." Beast returned Scott's smile.

Scott entered the room to find Jess dressed and brushing her hair back into a ponytail.
"What on earth are you doing out of bed?" Scott's face was almost purple with worry. He picked her up and deposited Jess on the bed.

"Daddy. I'm fine. I don't even remember what happened." as soon as she touched the bed,
Jess got up again and continued to brush her hair.

Scott took the brush from her and proceeded to do it for her, like he had when she was younger. Finishing, he braided it into a long plait down her back. "There, beautiful." he looked at her for a minute. Shaking his head, Scott spoke. "I think that other people want to see you. Feel up to it?"

Jess grinned. "Do I?" And without waiting on him, she ran out the door to the waiting area.

Donovan stood as she entered. Jess ran straight to him and hugged him. "One thing I do remember," she whispered to him. "You saved me. I will always be grateful for that. Not just for me, but for my dad."

A voice spoke up behind them. "Did I miss somethin'? Were they doin' this before?"
Logan said.

"I beginnin' ta think we did, Logan." That one was Rogue.

"Aw, cut 'em some slack. Dere' jus' kids." And that Remy.

Then Scott. "Yeah, but kids make foolish mistakes." he lay a hand on Jess's arm and gently pulled her back. "Honey, you are in public. Keep this for in private. There are more people who are here for you. Remember your manners."

"Yeah, don't go huggin' on people who migh' turn out to be someone dangerous." Logan said.

Jess backed up to face him. "I hug you, don't I?"

"Ouch." Bobby said. Logan glared at him. "Sorry,"

Jess sighed heavily. "I'm going out for awhile." Jess turned to leave. "Oh, and Rogue? Sorry about your car"
Just then the alarm blared. "I guess I'm not." Jess grinned. "I'll go get dressed."

Scott called after her, "You're not going!" But she obviously didn't hear him, because she kept running.

Five minutes later she appeared downstairs in her purple and black x-uniform, ready for action.

"I'm ready. So what's shakin'?" Scott, in his uniform, walked over to her. He picked her up, flung her over his shoulder and began to walk back upstairs.

"Daddy! Put me DOWN." Jess said, struggling in his grasp. "Don't make me do this,"

"Do what?" he asked her.

"This, I'm sorry Daddy." With those words, Jess charged herself and emitted the energy as electricity. Nothing happened.

"What-?" Jess struggled, confused.

"Sorry honey, but I've got an energy retardant suit." He put her down in her room and locked her in.

Jess banged on the door. "Let me OUT! Hey, let me out!!" After awhile, Jess calmed down and sat to think.

Then she got an idea. It just might work. Gritting her teeth in concentration, Jess turned herself into an electric orb. Floating, Jess forced her way into the electric outlet. The electricity flickered as she did so, but nobody noticed.

Jess exited the electrical system through an outlet in the garage. She walked over to her bike, and found a small scrap of paper with the location of the attack. It was signed, 'Logan'.

Jess grinned and mounted her bike. She put her helmet on, keeping her hair inside it.
Within minutes she had arrived at the abandoned car lot on the south side of town. Jess used a scrap of metal as a makeshift ramp, and launched herself on top of the X-van.

When she shut off her engine, she heard someone say, "Who's the dude with the girly bike?"

Review, just PuSh ThE BUTTON!! Uh, Please. I know this one was kinda short, but I can't write long and quick.
