As of now, Scott has been training the younger kids to be the new X-Men, in case he or the others die. He, Logan, Storm, Kitty Pride, Iceman, Rogue, and Colossus have spent their time training in the Danger Room. In the exercise, he and the others were practicing a rescue mission. "Alright team, let's go in and rescue the Professor." he ordered. "Got it." Logan replied. The others nodded. "Alright, let's move out."
They ran in the simulation. Cyclops and Storm blasted GRSO soldiers that were in front of them. Logan slashed his way through a bundle of them. Rogue touched Colossus and with his help, they smashed their way through the stronger guards. Iceman and Kitty infiltrated the facility and Iceman used his slide to transport himself and Kitty to the checkpoint. Eventually, Scott and the others met up with Bobby and Kitty. "Alright, let's split up. I'll take Bobby and Kitty with me. Storm and Logan will take the others. Now let's go and finish this."
Everything went smoothly for the team. But just as Scott led his group, he heard Jean's voice ring in his head. "Scott, help me. Scott." "I'm coming Jean." he replied as he visualized her in the room. He ran as fast as he could to the room. He even set his visor on focus mode (auto-aim) to make himself go faster. As he ran, he blasted all the soldiers in front of him. As that happened, Bobby and Kitty saw the frustration and anger that had taken over him. He kept blasting until Bobby froze a soldier that was behind him. "Thanks for the hand, Bobby." "No problem." Then, Kitty put her arms around the guys and she walked them to the room that the Professor was in. Sure enough, Logan, Storm and the others got there before they did.
"Good job, team." Prof. X stated. "Now I would like you all to take a break." "Yeah, I can agree to that." Wolverine interposed. "Hey, aren't you coming Cyke." "No. I'll stay here a little more." Scott replied. "Whatever." Logan replied. Then, Scott set the difficulty on high and continued.
Baby can you feel me,
imagining I'm looking in your eyes.
I can see you clearly, vividly
emblazoned in my mind.
and yet you're just so far, like a distant star I'm wishing on tonight.
As it started, he continued hearing Jean. "Help me, Scott. Help me." Scott screamed in pain as he kept on hearing her. Just then, the session started. As Scott saw the Sentinels, he kept blasting them with his beam on focus mode. He kept shooting and shooting all until the last one was gone.
Due to his frustration he fought all the humanoid sentinels with every breath in him. At one point, he even fought a sentinel that took the form of Logan and it had Logan's claws and powers. He fought him hand to hand at first and when he was ready, he blasted him with his beam. He kept to doing that to every humanoid sentinel he saw and he pictured Logan because he was just so damn frustrated. Especially since he liked Jean too. "Save me, Scott. Save me." Jean pleaded. "I'll save you Jean. I'll save you." Scott cried. He kept fighting until his clothes were war torn. As that happened, Prof. X sensed Scott's pain. "Logan, can you go back to the Danger Room?" "Why?" Logan asked. "Scott needs your help." "Alright." Logan sighed.
Just as Scott fought and fought, Logan came and stopped the exercise. "You must have really taken my advice about combat really serious." "No, I was just frustrated." Scott replied. Logan knew what he was frustrated about and he replied, "Getting yourself killed ain't gonna bring her back." "Shut up Logan! Just shut the fuck up!" he shouted angrily. Logan got out his claws and was ready to beat the shit out of Scott, and then Scott slumped to his knees and cried. "Logan, take me back to my room." he said. "Okay, Cyke."
Scott was finally back in his room. He laid on his bed and thought about Jean and all the fun times they had together. He remembered a picnic that he had with her. Her hair was long and beautiful and she wore khaki shorts and a pink V-neck shirt. Scott wore his casual clothes.
I'd give my all to have
just one more night with you.
I'd risk my life to feel your
body next to mine.
Cause I can't go on
living in the memory of our song.
I'd give my all for your love tonight.
"Hey beautiful." he said as he kissed her cheek and held her. "I can't believe how things are changing." "I know. I'm just glad I'm here with you Scott." "Jean, I love you. I love you so much and I'd never forgive myself if anything happened to you." "Scott, don't worry. If I have those nightmares again, you and I are going to confront them together." she replied. They kissed each other so passionately.
When they got back, they were making sweet love. They both took their clothes off. Scott rubbed Jean's breasts so gently and Jean was kissing him and holding him at the same time. They didn't want to stop but then they just relaxed and held each other. "You know Jean, I wish I could just take off these glasses and look at you with my eyes." Jean moved her hands and took off his glasses. Scott was scared and yelled, "Jean, I don't want to hurt you!!" As Scott freaked out, Jean grabbed him and gently kissed his eyes. "Scott, I'll always love you no matter what." They kissed again and this time Scott was comfortable sleeping without his glasses on as Jean held him in her arms.
I'd give my all to have
just one more night with you.
I'd risk my life
to feel your body next to mine.
Cause I can't go on
living in the memory of our song.
I'd give my all for your love tonight.
As the flashback ended, he grabbed a picture of him and Jean together and stared at it. For a moment, it felt as if Jean had finally come back to him. As he slept peacefully that night, he asked himself, "Is the pain really gone?" His thought ended by:
Oh, I'd give my all for your love tonight.
I'd give my all for your love tonight.
