Quick note: The rating is "T" but the language in this chapter is going to get a bit ruff...heheheh, I said ruff. Read the chapter and you will know what I mean...

Scott stood staring at the woman he once loved. She glared at him in pure anger, and he swallowed hard. Attacking Emma had probably not been the best plan of attack. But the moment that he saw the White Queen about to be kissed by Jean, it all had been too much for him.

"Well?" Jean yelled.

"Jean, I saw the video. I know that wasn't you. This," he waved his hand at Emma, "is all wrong. You just don't see it. We are supposed to be together. We have loved each other for years, and I refuse to let some whore get in between us."

"You son of a b…" Helena lunged forward only to be held in check by Dinah.

Scott spun around on the dark haired woman. "Who the hell are you? Shut up. This doesn't concern you!"

"Check your tone little man. You are only getting leeway here because Jean and Emma are allowing it. The moment that ends though, you will find yourself on the end of a major ass whipping. My patience is out and I am sure the other women here agree." Shayera spat.

"Who the fuck are you?" Scott railed. "Mind your own damn business."

Diana cracked her knuckles, "Say the word Emma, and I will bury him where he stands."

Emma looked at the women she was surrounded by. Her friends. She was humbled at the reaction they all had. They were willing to go to war with her, and barely knew her. "I appreciate the sentiments Helena, Shayera, and Diana, but let him speak his peace. I really could care less what his opinion of me is. The only opinion that does matter is Jean's, and I am positive Scott should be able to figure that out by her reaction."

"And by my words Scott. I wasn't kidding when I said I loved her. You are way out of line." Jean spoke with clear authority.

"How can you love her?" Scott asked turning his attention back to Jean. "She isn't capable of the emotion. She is cold, calculating, deceitful, and vengeful. There is not one warm bone in her body!"

"You forgot conniving and controlling…" Emma barbed.

"I am not speaking to you bitch! Make no mistake that I will end your miserable existence once I know Jean is back with me."

"Then come over here and do it! Because the only way you are leaving here with Jean is over my dead damn body!" Emma screamed.

Scott turned and stalked towards Emma. Suddenly he stopped and his mind went blank. He began barking loudly and scratching his ear furiously with his hand. Emma sneered and took her mind control a step further. "Sit, DOG!"

He immediately complied dropping his butt to the ground.

"Jesus Emma. Thank God we are friends. That is some trippy shit." Helena laughed. Emma turned and smiled at her friend.

"You are a good friend. All of you are." She turned her attention back to Scott and her smile was replaced by a scowl. She back handed him and caused Scott to whimper.

"Umm, PETA might have a problem with you beating a defenseless animal. Not that I care, he deserves no less." Betsy laughed.

"Emma, stop. Let him have his mind back. He isn't going to attack anyone here again. He won't be able to. I will make sure of it." Jean spoke the sentiment softly. "But before you do, I need to apologize to you. He should have never have attacked you. And I should have told you how I felt before I told him." Jean walked over to Emma and lightly kissed her lips. "I love you Emma Frost. Never doubt that."

Emma smirked. "Emma Frost-Grey darling. We are married after all."

"Release his mind, and let me take care of this please. I know you deserve to punish him, but I am asking you to let me handle it."

Emma stared at Jean for a moment and then nodded. Scott immediately stood, his face still stinging from the strike Emma had planted on his cheek. "What…what just happened?" He was slightly confused and couldn't recall the previous few moments.

Jean addressed her ex. "Do not give Emma cause again to defend herself. Are we clear? Because the moment I sense any intention like that, you will not have to worry about what Emma and our friends will do to you. You are sorely testing my patience, and I will not hesitate to make sure Emma is satisfied by how thoroughly I will thrash you."

Emma elbowed Helena. "That's my girl."

Helena chuckled. "Can you teach me how to do that?"

"Probably not, but I'm hip to try."

"Sweet!"

Betsy turned to Emma. "I am so very sorry. I really didn't know that this would happen."

Emma nodded. "Make it up to me then and all will be forgiven." She projected a thought to her teammate.

Betsy laughed. "Evil."

"What did you just tell her to do?" Helena whispered.

"Watch."

Emma turned her attention back to Scott and Jean. Scott began shuffling his feet. Jean stared at him oddly for a moment, waiting for him to speak. But he didn't speak, he sang. "Oh baby, baby, how was I supposed to know that something wasn't right? Oh baby, baby, I shouldn't have let you go…" Jean immediately laughed. He broke out into the chorus, "My loneliness is killing me. And I, I must confess I still believe. When I'm not with you I lose my mind. Give me a sign…hit me baby one more time."

Helena howled. "Are those Britney Spears lyrics?"

Emma nodded and chuckled, "Okay Betsy. I forgive you."

Helena squealed, "Wait! Please, one more song…"

Jean shook her head, but her smile was radiant. "Hurry up. I am ready for this douche bag to leave."

Helena leaned over and whispered to Betsy. The telepath nodded, and Helena rubbed her hands together. "I seriously cannot tell you how much I freaking love you guys."

Scott shifted again and began singing once more. "It's tearing up my heart when I'm with you, but when we are apart I feel it too. And no matter what I do, I feel the pain, with or without you. Baby I don't understand, just why we can't be lovers. Things are getting out of hand…"

"What is that?" Emma asked between fits of laughter.

"N'Sync." Helena giggled.

"Helena, you fit right in here. Seriously, if you ever get tired of the Justice League, the X-Men will welcome you with open arms. Well, the ones standing here in their right minds." Emma smirked. And the White Queen did something that she swore she would never do. She leaned over and hugged Helena tightly, the woman who had been fiercely loyal. Helena was stunned, but then smiled and returned the affection.

"Emma, I…"

"Don't say it. This emotional shit is too much for me. Seriously, I feel like I have been on hormonal overload these past few days. But thank you. I know what you were thinking, and I feel the same way. And thanks for punching him. I think I will be rubbing that in for a long time to come."

"We good now?" Betsy asked.

Emma nodded and Betsy released Scott's mind.

A/N: Okay, so I tried serious for a hot moment, but you guys know me. It isn't long before i am trying to make you laugh. And I really laughed my ass off on this one! Knocking Scott down a few pegs felt better than letting the women kill him. Humiliation is always an effective tactic. We will still see him for one more chapter...and possibly one more X-Man. How many exes does Jean have? Heh. If you know, then you know who we will be seeing...thanks to everyone who leaves reviews. It fuels me to put aside everything else and just write for you. (Seriously, my laundry may crawl up the wall soon.) Thanks anonymous for sharing your thoughts about what you like. Really, if you sign in, I will respond with something more personal. And lastly, for Jay, did you see your shout out hidden in the chapter? Happy belated Birthday!
