Phoenix Revolution

Chapter 2 – In Your Dreams

Logan's room

1:15 a.m.

Two weeks passed

Open meadow; light breeze passing through; clear night skies; stars shining brightly. Logan is lying down on the ground with his hands behind his head staring into the night sky. Lost in thought, the stars started to move into shape. The figures were faces of women – Rose; Itsu; Silver Fox; Seraph and Mariko. They were all the women Logan has ever loved and lost to him, except for one – Jean. He loved her the most, but she didn't love him back. Or at least that is what he thinks. Logan closed his eyes to shut the images from his sight. It haunted him too much. Thinking he was going to wake up from his dream and staring at the ceiling of his room, it didn't happen. He opened his eyes once again and found that someone is standing over him. Startled, Logan quickly got to his feet and in a defensive stance until he realized who his opponent is. Standing in front of him is a red-haired woman in a long white dress with a Phoenix emblem across her chest. "Jeannie?"

Standing in all her glory, Jean gave him a smile "Hey, stranger."

"Hey," Logan said smiling. "What are ya doin' here, Red? Am I dyin'?" Logan asked sarcastically.

Jean gave a short laugh. "No, Logan. You're not dying. You're taking me being present in your mind like death is among you."

"Sorry, but ya did appear to me the last time I was near death."

"Ha ha, very funny," Jean said with a smile. Kidding aside, Logan got closer to Jean taking a good look at her. Seeing the look in Logan's steal-blue eyes, Jean could only do but smile at him. Logan lightly caressed Jean's cheek and Jean leant into the touch without taking her eyes off of him. Logan noticed the reaction and gave a small smile. "God I missed you, Jeannie."

Hearing how Logan had missed her, Jean decided to close the gap between them and wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a big hug. "I missed you too, Logan. I missed you so much."

Logan couldn't believe the move Jean made, so he returned the gesture with just as much emphasis that Jean was giving. After their hugs, Logan back off a little to look at Jean and take in the beauty that came naturally to her.

"Seriously Red, what are ya doin' in my head? Am I still dreamin' or are we in the astral plane?" Logan asked with concern. Jean gestured to Logan to take a seat on the ground. Logan nodded and did what Jean wanted him to do. Jean sat down right next to him, close enough that their arms would brush up against each other if they move.

Looking out at the lake, Jean took a deep breath to answer all the questions that Logan will be asking. "Well, first you're still dreaming. Second, I telepathically put myself here. I hope you don't mind," Jean said with a look of embarrassment.

"Not at all Jeannie. Out of any telepaths I have met, you're the most welcome."

"Thanks."

Silence stood between the two until Jean broke it. "I just wanted to tell you that I will be coming home soon. I found all my pieces awhile back, but I was not ready to come back just yet." Logan turned his head towards Jean with a confused look.

"So why come to me? Why not Rachel?"

"I want it to be a surprise for Rachel. I came to you because you understand what I have been going through and I need a support system, just in case."

"So ya want me to play bodyguard?"

"Not really. I went to you because you know the truth. When I come back and make my presence known, you would know if it is me or not."

Logan looked back at the lake with sorrow on his face. He knew just what Jean was talking about. If it is Dark Phoenix who comes back, I'll have to kill you. If it is just Jean, I'll know.

Precisely.

Logan looked back at Jean with a smirk on his face. Jean looked at Logan with the same expression. "I can hear your thoughts, Logan. You can't hide anything from me here."

Logan broke eye contact and gazed back at the lake. "So, how will I know when ya get here, Jeannie?"

Jean thought about it and shrugged. "The front door maybe before the Thanksgiving holiday, I guess."

Logan looked at Jean with a cocked eyebrow. "What?! No grand entrance?"

Jean chuckled at Logan's reaction. "Well with what happened last time, I don't think it's a good idea." Logan chuckled.

"Just in time for the holidays, huh?"

"I know you hate the holidays, but at least it will give you an excuse to stick around. I promise I will make it as painless as possible," Jean said giving Logan a winning smile for him to give in to. Logan just shook his head knowing what she was trying to do.

"Ya know a lot of things have changed since you've been gone."

"I know. You can fill me in before I get back."

"So this isn't a one time visit to my dreams is it Jeannie?"

"I thought you wouldn't mind if I came around in your dreams."

"No. It will make me want to go to sleep more often," Logan said with a smirk.

"Well, until the next time you fall asleep I'll see you."

As Jean was about to get up, Logan grabbed Jean's wrist to stop her. "What's wrong Logan?"

Logan didn't say anything but instead he looked into Jean's emerald eyes and pulled her close. He slowly moved towards Jean and gave her a gentle kiss on her lips. Realizing what Logan was doing, she kissed him back. Logan broke the kiss and looked at Jean. Jean didn't realize that her eyes were closed and slowly opened them to see Logan staring at her. "What was that for?"

Logan gave her a small smile and said "It's been awhile."

Jean smiled and slowly stood up ready to leave. "Until next time, Logan. Now you have to wake up."

The dream ended and Logan slowly woke up from his slumber. He was greeted by the sunlight that was filling his room. He gave out a big sigh and stared at his ceiling. With a smile on his face he said, "Until the next dream Jeannie, I'll see ya again."
