The Professor sighed. He didn't know what to say; he didn't know what to do. If Jean had been alive, wouldn't she have came back to them? Would she have--… Unless she didn't remember? But even then… he would have felt some connection to her. Right?
He looked over at Scott which was basically crying in his own hands. His tears were like acid. Every single one that dropped destroyed a part of his heart. He hated seeing him like this. He hated it.
He came from behind the desk and rolled up towards Scott. He let out a breath and laid a hand on his shoulder. "I want to see… what happened. Is that alright, Scott?" He looked into his eyes. He knew what he meant.
Scott looked up and swallowed hard. The last time he did that, it wasn't a pretty sight but he nodded. He wanted him to know what he wasn't going crazy, and that he wasn't lying. It was really her. He felt it. He… sensed it.
The Professor reached up and took a deep breath, closing his eyes as he pressed his fingers to his temple. As soon as skin touched skin images rushed through his head and he paused, sifting through them. A lot of them were of unhappy things that he was sure Scott didn't want anyone to know… He passed them by and paused, seeing the two of them, Logan and Scott, sitting at the bar and the voice of an angel behind him. He turned around and his eyes laid on her. There… There she was. With all the beauty and magnificence. He was right. It was her. There was no doubting it. He blinked. He never though he'd see her again. 'Jean,' he thought as he broke the connection between him and Scott.
He sat back for a moment.
"I told you. You didn't believe me, but… I told you it was her."
His eyes were glazed over a little bit. He didn't understand it. Why would she…? He turned away and rolled back behind his desk. "I see that it was her, Scott. Go, get some rest. I will figure all of this out. Get some sleep. You look like you need it."
After a few minutes, Scott reluctantly stood and walked out of the room slamming the door behind him.
The Professor intertwined his fingers and turned to face the window. That day, they had a connection before she… disappeared under the wall of water. He'd never forget that day; he'd never forget that feeling. Like he had lost something within him. He closed his eyes.
"Jean, I know you can hear me… Please, come back to us."

Jane let out a breath as she walked towards her apartment with her friends. They had totally forgotten about what had happened, but she hadn't. Those two men.. And that one that called her Jean. Could that be her real name? The only reason they called her Jane is because they never found her name or any proof her existence. It was like she dropped from heaven… but maybe, maybe these people knew who she was.
The dreams she had been having were both beautiful and frightening. That man… the one with the weird hair… He was in her dreams. He was the only one she could see clearly and she never understood why. All the other faces were blurry and screwed up beyond all comprehension. She sighed heavily and waved to her friends.
Dante, her roommate, the man that had protected her was right behind her. "You okay, Jane?" He asked, looking into her emerald eyes.
"Yeah…" She smiled down to him, walking up the steps to her apartment. "I just have… a headache."
"Another one? Damn, you need to go the doctor. I mean,… they're getting worse." He said.
She paused for a moment and closed her eyes, leaning against the stairwell for a moment. All color drained from her face as images rushed over her, and words that she couldn't completely understand. Faces, faces, screaming.. Pain, fear, redemption. She screamed out and fell backwards with tears running down her face.
"Shit!" Dante grabbed her just in time and fell against the stairs. "Phew," he said. He looked down to her. She was still, quiet… She wasn't moving and a small bit of blood dripped from her nose.
"Jane!" He shook her gently. "JANE!"
Come back to us… Please.
