Chapter 11.

Disclaimer in part one!

Authors Note: Here's another chapter for you all, this one isn't that long, there is another chapter after this, it's about the same length I'm working on the chapter after that one, and it's gonna be a long one.

Thanks goes to Tay my little sister who's been nagging at me to get more written, so she is now my muse. ;)

Jean and Scott sat in Scott's room, they were both sitting on his bed and talking quietly, it seemed as if they were really meant to be together, and they both liked the idea, they were both obviously close and felt truly comfortable around one another, but Jean was a little afraid, not of Scott but of what could happen between them, seeing as they lived in the same mansion, what would happen if things went sour between them? Life would obviously get more complicated.

But Jean couldn't allow herself to think that way, if she stopped herself from getting close to Scott then she may as well give up on life as well, you couldn't make judgements on things just because things could go wrong.

Jean was startled when Scott let out a soft snore, she looked over at him and smiled when she saw how fast asleep he was.

Jean gently levitated herself off of the bed, along with Scott and then she tucked him under his covers and slowly left the room.

Jean wasn't ready for bed yet herself and she stood still and closed her eyes, she did a quick and gentle mind sweep to see whose subconscious was awake and who was asleep.

Jean quickly discovered that everyone was asleep with the exception of Hank; he was in the lower levels, in his lab.

Jean made her way to the stairs; she didn't want the noise of the elevator to wake Logan who had super hearing.

Jean opened the door to the stairwell and looked at all the flights of stairs, she was feeling lazy so she jumped over the banister and used her powers to float herself down to the ground.

Jean walked to the lab, she knocked on the door but there was no answer – knowing that Hank often got caught up in his work Jean typed her code into the security system on the door and unlocked it.

Jean saw Hank hunched over a microscope, he was muttering to himself.

"Hey Hank – up for a little company?" Jean asked slightly startling the older mutant.

"Why hello Jean my dear, please do come in, I am just working on making uniforms for us to wear, you see the public will be more endeavoured to seeing us as an actual force if we are in uniform." Hank said whilst furiously scribbling notes.

"That sounds like a great idea Hank, but you don't strike me as the sewing sort." Jean said playfully.

"Oh my dear no, this is more than just fashion, I have made a prototype, the fabric has been made by me and it is incredibly durable, able to withstand most things, it will also act as armour to us." Hank said with a bright smile.

"Wow, you're really smart Hank." Jean said honestly, looking astounded.

"Why thank-you my dear, but you are also smart yourself, I do believe that you were in medical school?" Hank asked, although he knew what he was saying was true.

"Yes I was, it really was a shame that I didn't get to finish and get my diploma." Jean said a little sadly.

"So you wanted to be a doctor?" Hank asked Jean.

"Yes, medicine is a passion of mine." Jean said still looking a little sad.

Hank realised what it was, Jean liked having projects, it took her mind off of things that were out of her control – like her mutation, that was why she was so happy that Ororo had come to the mansion, she had another project, just like decorating the mansion had been her project. Now that the X-men had been formed and Scott had been appointed leader, Jean was feeling lost, she wanted to be able to contribute something else.

"Jean first and foremost I am a scientist, but I am also a doctor, I am also aware that seeing as we are now X-men there may be more need for medical help. I would be honoured if you could help me, I would prefer to train you so that you could become the resident doctor, for I miss being the resident scientist." Hank said honestly.

"Hank – do you mean it?" Jean asked her eyes going wide an eager look on her face.

"Of course my dearest, I would never give you false hopes." Hank said truthfully.

"Then Hank I would love to take you up on your offer, I would love to be the mansions resident doctor." Jean said with a bright smile.
