"Found Out About You"
Summary: Scott and Logan have a chat in the Danger Room.
Jean didn't like the idea of hiding her marriage to Scott, but hiding it from everyone turned out to be very thrilling for both of them. It reminded her of the first time her and Scott started going out. They were both terribly shy and self conscious and it took both of them some time before they publicly showed affection to each other, despite the fact that everyone knew they would end up together.
They were like teenagers, hiding their relationship from their parents. One day, Jean was walking down the hall and Scott was hiding in a nearby closet. When she passed by, he pulled her in and kissed her passionately. He would wake up early in the morning and tip toe his way out of Jean's room. Jean would sneak out of the mansion at night and head over to the lake house and come back early in the morning. Jean could over hear stray thoughts and there was no indication that anyone suspected anything, not even the professor.
Jean was getting ready to head out, packing a few things inside her purse like her wallet, key, etc. The door suddenly swings open and Scott enters, completely disheveled. She knew he must've came from a Danger Room session. He walked right pass her, heading straight towards the bathroom. Along the way, he stripped off his clothes, letting it careless fall on the ground. Jean was too baffled to say anything as he turned on the shower and stepped in.
"Scott what're you doing!"
"Taking a shower." He yelled from the bathroom. He didn't even bother to close the door.
"I know that genius .. but what're you doing .. someone might see you."
"I don't think you gotta worry about that anymore.."
Before Jean could say anything, Logan came storming in.
"MARRIED !" Logan yelled.

The students just left and Scott was all alone in the Danger Room. He was ready to head out, when Logan came walking in.
"Summers."
"Logan."
"I hear you've been making good progress with the kids."
"…"
"Look Summers, I know we haven't always gotten along."
"Always?"
"Ok, we never got along .."
"I admire the attempt Logan.. but what do you want?"
"So he's as tough as they say.. what do you say about proving it.." Logan flipped a switch on the control panel and the Danger Room started to come alive again. Scott gave a smirk and put his visor back on.

After the session was over, Scott and Logan looked pretty beat.
"That wasn't half bad Summers."
"Yeah.. maybe you did teach the students something after all."
"What do you say we go to Level 5?"
"I don't think so." Scott said walking towards the exit.
"Afraid of getting banged up again?"
"Level 5 is meant for a team exercise.. 'team' remember the reason why I took over the Danger Room exercises .."
"Don't tell me you're scared?"
"Actually.. you're right. I am scared." Scott turned back around to look at Logan. "I know a certain red head who'll be pretty pissed…"
"Don't worry about Jeannie.. she'll never know.."
"The bruises on my face would tell her otherwise.. besides she did threaten to kill me if anything happened to this pretty face.."
Logan laughed at himself. Scott had turned into a comedian, he thought.
Scott continued. "Imagine looking at our wedding photos with the me having a bruised lip.. it aint happening. Bye Logan."
Logan stood there completely stunned. Did he just imagine what Scott had said? Was he and Jean getting married? He tried to dismiss it but something told him it was true. By the time he came to, Scott had already left. They couldn't be engaged, he thought. He'd barely seen the two of them talk together, it just didn't make sense. He walked out of the Danger Room, his heart racing, he had to find out for sure. But a deep sinking feeling told him, that it just might be.

Scott walked down the hall. The look on Logan's face was almost priceless, he thought. He opened the door to Jean's room, stripped down and headed straight for the shower.
Logan came storming in a short while later.
"MARRIED!" Logan yelled.
Jean was stood there frozen.
"Married.." Logan said in a calmer tone. "You're getting married?"
Jean looked down, she couldn't look at him in the eye. Logan wouldn't believe it until he heard it from her but the silence told him everything.
"B.. but how .. I mean .. he's done nothing but ignore you since he got here.. how could he ask you.. h..how could he you say yes?"
Scott peaked his head out from the shower curtains.
"Actually she asked me." Scott yelled.
Logan looked around the room. He was so worked up that he didn't notice Scott's clothes on the floor or hear the shower running. He couldn't be there anymore and turned around and stormed off.
"Logan." Jean cried. "Dammit Scott.. what did you do?"
"What?" He said innocently.
She gave him a dirty look and using her TK, she set the dials all the way to cold. She heard Scott give a loud shriek and she left the room to go after Logan. She caught up to Logan, who was walking down the stairs.
"Logan, please let me explain .. I know you're hurt."
"Daym right, I'm hurt… how could you ask Scott to marry you!" He yelled. That got everyone's attention. A couple of students were around and they immediately stopped in their footsteps. All eyes were looking at Jean, and she could hear the stray thoughts of everyone around her. She was more embarrassed than anything and couldn't say anything. Logan continued to storm off. She knew he needed time to calm down. Jean turned around and headed back to her room.
She closed the door behind her. Scott came out, with a very pink towel wrapped around his waist.
"I hope you don't mind that I borrowed your towel."
"Scott.."
"Okay, fine. I'll take it off." Scott said reaching for his waist.
"What did you do Scott? I thought we were going to keep it a secret for a couple more weeks .. now everyone knows."
Scott projected onto her the conversation he previously had with Logan.
"This pretty face." Jean repeated. "I can't believe you Scott." Jean walked up to Scott and grabbed his face and let her hands run through his wet hair.
"You couldn't play nice with Logan?"
"Logan.. the same man whose life I saved only for him to go after my then- fiancé and who managed to successfully break us up.. "
"Look I know Logan was a jerk to you.. I'm not saying he didn't deserve it..."
"But that's not why you're upset." Jean looked at him puzzled. "You're projecting again… wow you really didn't want people to know."
"It was fun.. this whole sneaking around.. I felt like a teenager again.. I dunno I guess I'm going to miss it… it felt it was just you and me .. we didn't have to worry about the rest of the world.. I guess I started to think that if everyone knew.. then everyone would know.. like the world has some personal vendetta against us and something bad would happen.. it always does."
"And it prolly always will .. but that doesn't mean.. we still can't have fun." Scott pulled her close to him.
"Look, I'm already late as it is… and I don't care if you are practically naked and dripping wet.. I have to go." She started to walk away, but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back to him. He took both her hands and guided it down his side, to his waist.
"God, Scott you're evil.. you know that.."
Scott smiled and gave her kisses on the lips. "I know."
