Chapter Two
Vibrant Wings
I DO NOT OWN X-MEN!
Jean did not take Scott's advice. She felt it wasn't her place to bring up what she had seen in Willow's mind, but the professor could see that something was on Jean's mind.
"Something has been bothering you. Is everything alright?" Charles asked.
"I'm fine. Nothing has been bothering me," Jean lied. For the past week, Jean has been seeing scenes from Willow's past.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am probably just tired. I haven't been getting much sleep lately."
"Really? Why is that?"
"I just can't sleep."
"Alright, just let me know if you need anything," Charles said before leaving Jean alone in the common room.
Soon after, Scott walked in and sat down next to Jean on the couch. "You still haven't said anything, have you?"
Jean shook her head.
"Jean, what if she does something to you, or to another student?" Scott said with concern.
"The professor already knows anything I would tell him, I'm sure. After all, she is his niece."
"It's not just that. You have been seeing into Willow's mind without trying. Your powers could be evolving."
"Maybe."
"You've been reading my mind?!" Willow had overheard Jean and Scott's entire conversation.
The anger in Willow's voice made Jean jump. "I-I'm sorry," Jean pleaded.
Willow sighed deeply. "Whatever, just don't do it again."
Jean relaxed. "Th-that's it?"
"What do you want?" Willow laughed.
"Sorry."
"Don't be."
