Cheshire and Canuckle ... you two are my rocks. Reviews motivate as always.

And now ... the beginning of a very special introduction ; )


'And today marks the two month anniversary of the tragedy in New Hampshire. Investigations are finishing up here in Manitoba, New Hampshire. The little lumber town was hit with tragedy two months ago when investigators believe a nearby chemical leak killed 763 residents. The FBI and DHS recently ruled out terrorism or any other criminal activity. Rumors of SHIELD having visited the site were never confirmed and they have thus far refused to make any statements. A memorial service was held -'

"Would you turn that off?" Jean snapped as she came down the front steps, though she didn't wait for a response as the jeep's radio clicked itself shut. Greer glanced over the back seat to the now silent radio before glancing over at the red head.

"No problem." The tigress muttered as she pulled her suitcase over. The summer was a mixture of highs and lows - though to Greer's shock none of the lows were particularly bad. More like ... level. Quiet. After finals there had been a sudden rush of missions before things had settled down. After that, the two felines had spent almost a week simply enjoying each other's company. Now it was July and with the big Independence Day party behind them ... Greer was ready to hit the road.

"Are you sure now is the best time to go? What about all that chatter from The Right ... or the fact that Juggernaut just broke out of the MRD?"

"Jean would you relax? It's a vacation ... not a mission." Greer finished with a satisfied huff as she tossed her suitcase in the trunk. Her lone suitcase ... one of Colton's 'rules.' Not counting the go-bag he'd packed for her that she'd tucked under the front seat.

"I know that but ... can't you at least tell me where you two are going?" Greer leaned against the car as she took in her nervous friend. Jean had gone from excited to nervous over the course of the last two weeks as she and Colton had made the last preparations for their trip.

"I did tell you. Like a dozen times. We're going to drive cross country. Stop in Chicago ... Colorado ... the west coast ..." Greer sounded wistful as she thought of it. She wasn't about to tell Jean everything about where they planned on going. Colton had added a number of stops, places he wanted to check for possible 'additions' to X-Force. She only agreed to it when he let the moratorium on shopping fall. The revelation that Colton actually had money - though he still refused to reveal how much - had changed some of her plans. Los Angelas was going to be amazing ...

"Well I know that but ... three months? I thought this was just supposed to be a short thing ... and what about the start of school?" Jean worried as Greer tossed her hair back and tried not to eye roll.

"Jean this is gonna be my first real vacation that didn't involve a chaperon. I think three months sounds perfect. Besides ... my brother's wedding is in two months and after watching him get married to ... Lauren I think I'll need a full month just to recover. At least." Greer didn't hide her shiver and Jean let out a laugh. She knew how uncomfortable she was with the entire wedding situation and that Lauren wasn't making her life any easier.

"Just - promise me that you'll be safe. And that we'll talk like ... everyday." Greer was hit with deja vu of her mom telling her something similar when she'd tried that sleep away camp when she was ten. Giving her head a little shake, the tigress wrapped Jean in a hung she obviously needed.

"I promise. Besides," Greer had a smile as she looked over Jean's shoulder, "I think I have my safety covered." Jean turned herself to watch as Colton carried down a fairly large, black, plastic box. From the way the jeep shook when he loaded it, she could tell it had to be fairly heavy.

"What's in there?" Greer's ears stood straight up as she stole a quick glance at Colton who of course looked as calm as usual as he closed the trunk.

"Supplies." Jean tilted her head at Colton's answer.

"Like for camping?"

"Exactly." Greer quickly agreed, turning her friend back towards the mansion and shooting Colton a look. He really had to load their mission supplies, guns and ammo right now? She'd tried talking him out of bringing any of it but she'd gotten him down to bringing less at least.

"Come on ... let's get inside. You owe me a going away dinner." Greer teased as Jean lead her towards the kitchen. They were leaving first thing tomorrow morning.

July 5

Hey Jean,

So ... not really sure the last time was I wrote letters to someone. I mean this is email but ... that kinda counts as a letter nowadays right? I dunno ... don't care. Letters it is!

First day on the road and I gotta say it feels ... AMAZING. I mean kinda weird I'll admit but amazing. Me and Colton just on the road, the music, just driving ... it's nice. Normal. Though I do need to get Mr. Control to relax a little. He takes his itinerary very seriously. Will admit though ... we are making damn good time on our way towards Manayunk (yes it's a real place. trying to keep the big cities to a minimum… Again so Mr. Control can relax).

Alright, time to for sleep. Talk to you again soon.

Greer : )


2:25 pm

July 22

Greer,

Nothing new here. Logan disappeared again. No note telling us what he's doing, but I swear to God if he went to Canada again to get into trouble I'm going to kill him. Somehow. He always gets into trouble up there - why can't he see that? Oh god ... it better not be about a woman ... it's not right?

In other men-are-idiots news, Bobby froze the pool ... again. Rogue was so mad I thought for sure we'd have to scrape him off of Washington's nose on Mount Rushmore. I'm sure you two are having fun, but hurry back - I miss my best friend.

Love, Jean


11:48 pm

August 1

Jean,

Chicago was amazing and I gotta say ... all these small towns we keep stopping at are kind of growing on me. It like that long lost hometown I've neglected to visit… My dad was always talking about it and now I can see why. Can't believe Colton convinced me to go camping for a couple days but getting him out of the inducer was kind of a must. He can get so growly sometimes ... and explaining that to the front desk can take some imagination (trust me, that's a story that has to be told in person).

It's been an awesome couple weeks. We're heading west again tomorrow. Colorado hopefully in a couple days. I'm hoping this can trigger something for Colton. No idea what we're gonna find but ... I have a few leads. He doesn't like to talk about it but I think he's at least curious if not hopeful. I dunno ... I just want him to care about who he was. Know I do.

Anyways, wish us luck!

Greer : )

Jean,


7:04 pm

August 4

Greer,

Hey, it's me. Just checking in. Was hoping to hear from you and find out if you found anything in Colorado. Thought I might have picked something up from you there for a second the other day. Bet you were just thinking about me : )

Hope the trip is going well. Heard from Logan. Shocking no one he got into some trouble with Alpha Flight but seems to be fine otherwise. Expecting him back next couple days.

And yea, we'll follow up on that info you sent Scott. I'm hoping most of what you sent isn't right but ... I'll let you know how the pickup goes.

Jean


7:10 pm

August 8

Umm… You've been pretty neglectful, I'm guessing you're really busy but I'd like to believe you're preparing an essay about Colorado and Colton's backstory … Missing you.

Jean


6:45 am

August 10

Greer,

OK you need to pick up your phone or answer me. It's been almost two weeks with no word. I'm getting worried and sending Scott out after you next.

Call me,

Jean


6:52 am

August 10

Jean - Colorado dead end

Greer


12:10 pm

August 22

Jean,

OK ... guess I need to apologize for the last month or so. Didn't mean to just drop off the face of the earth like that. I promise it had nothing to do with you, just something me and Colton were dealing with. We're safe and moving on. Actually made it all the way to California (finally).

It's amazing here. Truly. Colton even found some abandoned beach that let us drop the inducers and have some fun. After all this ... stuff the ocean was exactly what I needed. We're gonna spend the next week or so just driving up the coast. Colton has one or two errands he wants to run but that's not gonna stop me. LA shopping is calling my name! (what's the name of that store you said I need to check out again?) Course ... all of this is just to mentally prepare me for the trip back to NYC for Gabe's wedding ... but I'm not gonna let that ruin my fun.

Again, sorry the com blackout

Jean,


1:03 am

August 25

Greer,

We'll get to you abandoning me in a minute. First, more pressing news ...

DID I SEE YOU FIGHTING WITH THE AVENGERS ON THE NEWS!?

Jean waited impatiently for a response and blinked when the skype icon on her laptop started ringing… Raising an eyebrow she clicked onto it to reveal a sheepish looking tigress…

"So I'm guessing you have some questions…" Greer said squeamishly as she nervously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. Jean however was straight to business.

"You bet your furry ass I do and wait - are you in a bathroom?" and Jean lowered her voice when Greer gave her a panicked look.

"Yeah ... Colton's trying to keep our little adventure under wraps so I'm supposed to as well. Not even supposed to be using this. I mean our email is pretty secure but ... dunno about skype."

Jean just smirked. She could worry about security later. Scott and Colton were both neurotic as far as she was concerned. "Details please." she said candidly and Greer grinned.

"Ok so what happened was ... "

"Come on Colton ... Please?" and Greer did the best kitten face she could muster.

"No."

"PLEASE" and Colton wondered if those ears could go any lower and if those eyes could get any bigger as he glanced to his right. Big mistake.

"You're going to use up all of our budget." he tried to reason but that only got Greer to raise an eyebrow.

"Well then maybe you should have told me how much money you have and secondly, I'm not going to buy anything. I just want to ... you know ... look at the store." Colton tried to look away as Greer's eyes widened. Oh yeah ... Much bigger. He tried looking anywhere else. The wall, the television set, that terrible painting on the wall. His plan failed however when Greer reached over and snuggled her head into his chest ... Purring low and rubbing her cheek gently. Colton released a low growl of his own. His will be damned.

"Fine."

"YES!" Colton never thought Greer could move so fast. Already she was off the bed and on her way to the bathroom to get ready when a scream pierced the air. Both felines turned to each other before rushing to their hotel's balcony. Greer's jaw dropped while Colton's clenched. The street below them was chaos and the sound of more screams and explosions rose quickly.

"Greer before you-" but the panther was too late as the next thing he saw was Greer's striped tail disappear over the side of the railing as she dropped down six stories. He growled. She never thinks things through. Quickly, he went back into the room, grabbed Greer's inducer, activated his own before leaping after her.

Greer wasn't sure what she was doing. One minute she was staring at a maniac tearing the streets apart and then she caught sight of some poor police officer having debris flung at him. Before she processed the thought, she had already leaped off the balcony and dove at the city's attacker. She winced upon contact, the man's armor was harder than it looked, before immediately getting her arms around the man's neck, trying to get him into a chokehold.

"NO ONE ATTACKS GRAVITON!" and Greer yelped as she was suddenly flung into the air by some invisible force. Catching herself gracefully, she growled. She hated fighting a telekinetic ... so damn unpredictable.

Carefully, she tried to rush Graviton, Colton had warned her that if she were to engage a telekinetic, the trick was too use speed so her opponent wouldn't be able to get a lock on her. Greer grinned when she managed to land a couple of goods punches, sending Graviton flying into a parked car, leaving a rather impressive dent, but her victory was short lived when Graviton with a yell of anger again managed to freeze her in mid air and then proceeded to fling her, much harder this time. Greer snarled as she was knocked through a few lamp posts but grunted when she was caught and gently lowered.

"Took you long enough…" she grumbled but stopped when she realized the person who caught her wasn't Colton. The gigantic star on his chest and the shield strapped on his back told her otherwise.

"Sorry mam'… Will keep that in mind next time." and Greer could only stare dumbfounded as freakin' Captain America then proceeded to throw his shield at some oncoming attackers before looking back to her.

"You here to help?"

"Wait ... hold on. Back up. You actually met Captain America?" Jean sounded scandalized as Greer did her imitation of a blush.

"Yes?"

"Greer that's amazing! Logan always keeps Captain America all to himself whenever he came to the Mansion. Oh my god I am so jealous ... OK so what happened next?"

"Nothing ... well nothing you don't already know. After that I just stuck near Steve until the fight was over. Colton was there too ... he just happened to be smart enough to keep an inducer on." Greer grumbled the last part, Jean assumed over the talking to she endured from her boyfriend after the fight.

"So ... it's Steve now?" Jean teased as Greer rolled her eyes but couldn't hide the smile.

"Shut up. It wasn't like I could just keep calling him 'Captain America.'"

"Did you meet anyone else? I hear Hawkeye is an interesting one." Jean prodded. Greer of course read the same gossip magazines and knew what her friend was talking about. Clint had a bit of a reputation of getting into trouble.

"I did. They were actually all really ... nice. Normal ... almost. I dunno hard to explain. But they gave me a com link and told me to reach out next time I'm back in LA." Greer held up the device in question as Jean peered closer before sitting back and taking on a slightly different smile.

"And how did they react to your personable boyfriend?" Jean asked with a bit of a knowing smirk as Greer looked towards where Jean assumed the panther in question was waiting.

"They didn't. Colton kept his distance until I headed back to the hotel. Most wanted Weapon X operative ring a bell? He's not supposed to be with us never mind on vacation with me. I mean it's not like it takes a genius to figure out I'm with the X-Men." Jean nodded her head thoughtfully.

"Fair point - hey what's wrong?" Jean noticed Greer's ear swivel and a slightly panicked look cross her face.

"Nothing ... Colton's back. I gotta go."

"Alright goodnight. Just keep in touch ok?" Jean had the first hint of concern in her voice and Greer looked back at the screen with a smile.

"Will do. Gnight."


8:56 am

September 3

Greer,

Well things are finally starting to speed up around here. New students are coming in early as usual to get there bearings (don't worry, those four kids you had us pick up our settling in great. You never told me how you ran into them?). Can't believe you're not here. Seems like forever since I wasn't doing this with you : ( Jubuliee and Kitty are committed to keeping up your gymnastics until you get back and Bobby and I have split your tutoring hours. Still can't wait to have you back.

I know the wedding is coming up and yea ... I saw the pictures of the dress you sent me. Are you sure Lauren can't find something more comfortable for you? I'm certain she wouldn't mind you cutting a teeny tiny hole for your tail at least. Regardless, I'm sure you'll look amazing and have a good time. It's your brother's wedding after all!

Have fun,

Jean


11:34 pm

September 17

Jean,

Well ... that was one hell of a wedding. Not sure how I made it through there but at least now it's over. Colton slipped off to god knows where ... he tried getting me to come with but honestly I'm just exhausted. And yes, I made it through without someone figuring out - how did Lauren put it? - oh yea, 'I'm one step removed from mutant.' Did I mention she actually introduced me and Colton to some higher up at MRD that she went to school with? I mean are you kidding me ... I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Course Colton picked the slimeballs pocket ... hopefully you can make use of the some of the attached intel.

I mean yes ... it was a beautiful wedding. Gabe looked great and my mom was crying like a baby. I just - I dunno kinda wish my dad was here. Bet he'd be able to tell Gabe he was marrying a gargoyle (don't tell him I said that). Spent most of the night tucked in the back with Colton silently waiting for my own brother's wedding to be over. Some sister huh?

We're heading out first thing in the morning. Gonna take a week or so and then it's back to the Mansion.

Can't wait to see you,

Greer


"No."

"Oh come on… This is a formal event we have to do it…" Greer practically begged but Colton just shook his head. Why did Greer care so much about these things? He knew she didn't want to be there. She knew she didn't want to be there. So why do it at all?

"Colton you don't see my refusing to wear this… monstrosity" and Greer signaled to the sleeveless lumpy looking, clearly too large dress Lauren had sent.

"You've been complaining about it all week." Apex rumbled back and he saw Greer's tail twitch beneath the fabric.

"Will you please just do it? I mean, you will raise flags if you show up to a wedding dressed in a t shirt. You know that right?" Apex and Greer stared at each other for a good 2 mintued before he finally relented, stubbornly reaching out an arm so Greer could pass him the suit she had bought for him.

"Thank you." the tigress grinned before getting out of the way so Colton could go change. As he did that, she slipped on a jacket despite the hot weather. She didn't want to do any unnecessary explaining to her new in laws as to why her bare shoulders would feel ... furry.

As Greer tidied the last bit of her uncontrollable mane and activated her image inducer, she heard the bathroom door click and she smiled in anticipation to see the rare sight that was her boyfriend in a proper suit. The smile she wore widened. Yes ... she definetly had make him dress like this more often. He looked positively dashing despite the very evident scowl on his face.

"I'm not wearing this." and it was only then Greer saw the bow tie in his hand. She grinned.

"Don't then. You look perfectly fine without it. Besides, you'll probably push Lauren's buttons and I have no problem with that," to which Apex replied with a slight smirk and with Greer around his arm the two headed out.

...

The two felines did their best to try and maintain under the radar in the crowded ballroom, although that was hard to do when you were the groom's sister. Greer swore she didn't know she was related to so many people. All the aunts and uncles and cousins she hadn't seen in well ... years. Colton had it worse. He had to be introduced over and over and over. Just as the two of them thought they had escaped Marie had spotted them and demand they sat at the main banquet table. Greer tried her best to smile as she was seated next to the bride herself.

"Lauren, you look beautiful." and Greer really wasn't lying. The blonde really did look stunning as she smiled back at Greer, of course, that's where the friendliness ended.

"Oh thank you Greer. You and Colton look great yourselves considering you're usual get up." Greer felt her insides twist while Colton rumbled.

"Also, aren't you hot in that jacket? I mean you must be considering your … skin condition. Why don't you take it off?" and Greer could almost swear Lauren's smile grew wider.

"No - no its alright, I'd –"

"Oh come on Greer, what do you have to worry about?" Marie asked from across the table.

"Yeah Greer, it's really ok. You're among family." Lauren laughed as she wrapped an arm around Marie and Greer bit back a snarl. With a reluctant sigh… The tigress slowly removed her jacket and tried her best to relax as her new family engaged in the festivities. Halfway through, the tigress had about enough of watching Lauren sucking up to Marie and in a desperate attempt to hold onto her sanity excused herself to the bathroom.

"Oh wait Greer, I'll go with you." and Greer watched warily as Lauren approached her… How did this woman learn how to smile like that? The two maintained a weary distance as they made their way to the lavatory… Each just giving others smiles… Some more uneasy than others… To Greer's relief she was a least able to lock herself in a stall for a few serene minutes… When she exited however, she was shocked to find Lauren standing next to a very tall man, a very intimidating scar running down his eye.

"Oh Greer, I almost forgot to introduce you to one of my best friends, he's in charge of running day operations in the MRD." and almost on cue, the man stuck a hand out.

"It's nice to meet you." and Greer wasn't sure if his smile was genuine or if his squad was right behind him ready to arrest her. How was she going to get out of this… She couldn't let him touch her… Her breath hitched up… Her eyes darting around and before she went into cardiac arrest, she felt someone put a hand on her shoulder.

"Greer is he bothering you?" and the tigress smiled a little as Lauren's friend backed away and hid his hand as Colton came in to step behind the tigress and towered over MRD.

"No Colton, everything's fine," Greer looked over her shoulder with a smile before turning back to MRD, "it was nice to meet you!" Greer smiled before slinging her arm through Colton's leading him away before he murdered someone at her brother's wedding … tempting ... but not today. Though she noticed how Colton's arm moved as they passed him.

"Quite impressive slight of hand there…" she whispered as she leaned her head into his arm. It was the only way to soothe her raging headache.

Apex tried not to time how long this wedding was taking. He did not bother counting down and amused himself by analyzing everything in the room. What people were talking about ... the pattern of the servers ... how to kill the lead singer of the band and make it out of the room without being followed ...whatever passed the time.

He looked to Greer who's ability to feign interest was clearly cracking. In fact, he was surprised she even agreed to sit with him at the very back of the ballroom. He had assumed she wanted to be at the very front considering her concern for her brother. He was even more surprised when Greer of all people refused to attend the after party and instead led him back to their room. As he deactivated his inducer his ears perked up in surprise as Greer suddenly latched herself onto him with a not so subtle growl.

"Get this ... off ... me!" she demanded, the growl in her voice becoming very evident, while a very familiar grin formed on her face. Apex grinned himself as he worked his claws across the cheap fabric, ripping it apart instantly.

"Better?"

"Much." Greer purred as she let out a languid stretch while kicking off her heels.

"Now ... how about a shower?" she purred, her own claws now skilfully unbuttoning his suit as Apex obediently followed

"Yes ma'm..."


September 19

8:34 am

Greer,

Uchhh ... that mental replay ... Greer you must be a saint to have a sister-in-law like that. Please ... go enjoy some more vacation. Lord knows I'd need it after all that.

Travel safe,

Jean


6:04 am

September 28

Tigra - Go shopping. Come back later.


2:13 am

September 29

Jean - Thanks for the heads up. Settled down. Don't wait up for me.


10:01 am

October 10

Jean,

I'm safe. Colton is safe. Got a new tablet just in case and glad Kitty helped you figure out the encryption so we can finally talk again. Seems cell phones are out of my immediate future.

Colton was able to fill me in on what happened. He's been beating himself up about it for weeks. Just glad no one was seriously hurt. I know SHIELD has come sniffing around for 'Weapon 22' before but I never thought they'd come crashing in like that. Logan talked to the two of us and looks like Fury wasn't part of the group that came looking for Colton. He's not taking it well but so far he's listened to what Logan told us and kept his head down. We're at one of these safe houses he has (probably best not to say where). Not sure where he came up with them but we keep moving around. I'm losing my mind with boredom but least we're both safe.

I might have a way to get out of here though. I don't think Colton is going to like it but ... wish me luck.

Stay safe,

Greer


4:05 pm

October 22

Greer,

I gotta say ... despite everything I'm just a teensy bit jealous you're going to be spending time with the Avengers. It does suck that you need to keep Colton a secret though. I mean I get it but ... I know it must be hard on you. Logan has been his usual, closed off self, but I'm assuming all this time he's been taking outside the Xavier's is to help Fury clean up this latest AIM cell inside SHIELD. Logan thinks it's about AIM wanting to swipe any Weapon X assets and intel they can get their hands on while they can. I swear to god ... that place has more infiltration than it does actual spies. Course ... maybe that's what you get when your entire place is filled with spies in the first place.

Sorry ... don't mean to rant. Just so mad at these idiots for coming after Colton and keeping you away for god knows how long. Maybe Ill come out and visit during winter break (better not have to do that). Anyways ... glad we can talk on the phone again. Still enjoy our emails though. Let's keep it up.

Love, Jean


9:03 pm

November 1

Jean,

I gotta say ... the Avengers sure know how to have a good time. So long as they're not out saving an entire country or stopping some natural disaster they seem to be pretty committed to hanging out and throwing a party. Course that just might be what life is like around Stark but what do I know?

Settled in best I can. Actually doing most of the same things here as I did at Xavier's just with this new venture they've started up called Avengers Academy. You know, gymnastics ... tutoring ... supervising some training. Don't worry, Xavier's is way cooler ; ) I haven't gone out on any missions though which is kind of getting to me. Logan told me to keep my head down and I'm pretty sure Colton would break in and carry me off if he found out I was fighting Doctor Doom or the Sinister Six (is it just me or does all the other groups get to fight all the fun bad guys?). Oh yea! Met Doctor Strange and Fantastic Four. That was cool ... though Mr. Richards was a bit of a jerk. Kept asking me for stupid blood samples.

Anyway, just wanted to check in. Thanks again for the packages by the way.

Don't let school get you down. Oh and how are those three girls you picked up?

Love,

Greer


8:00 pm

November 9

Greer,

Been a little hectic here and it's funny you asked about those new pickups considering that's what's been causing all the mayhem. Or should I say she is causing.

Let me catch you up: The second group was actually two sisters (Zoe and Chloe) and a woman, in the middle of nowhere, Wisconsin. The girls are doing great, but it's the woman that's worth talking about. She didn't figure into the system at all, but she must have tried to help them because she was a mess when Scott brought her home. It turns out, she's actually a feral of all things, which was why Charles had some trouble catching her - though I don't know why she wouldn't have been in the algorithm if they were looking for her.

Any how, I thought she was alright, but after some excitement involving a new wave /explosive/ inhibitor collar, Logan ended up disappearing into the night with her on the back of his bike. They were gone all night. You should have seen them when they came in. NO guilt at all and they looked like they slept on the ground or something - though I doubt they were sleeping.

He was totally unrepentant. It's one thing when he's picking up random women and shacking up for the night off grounds, but he better not think he can make a habit out of playing the white knight on the motorcycle for rescues. Charles won't allow it, I'm sure. Personally? I'm just counting the days on how long this is going to go on before he shows up with her name tattooed on his arm for the afternoon.

In other school news ... just the usual. Things have gotten into the usual flow and Remy actually joined the team. Seems him and Rogue are going steady again. Scott has him teaching Logic (and I'm making sure he doesn't start that midnight poker game again with the older students).

Best,

Jean


10:20 pm

November 18

Greer,

OK I know we got caught off last night so I need to catch you up on Mansion gossip (and don't pretend there isn't Avengers gossip. I demand it!): Yes, somehow, Kay is still around. And somehow she's got Jubilee on her side now too. I'm not even sure how that happened, but Jubes is singing her praises.

I finally did a bit of digging myself and ... well the woman has definitely been through a lot. I'd say more but ... well it's not something I think you'd want to read about. Suffice it to say it finally makes some sense why her and Logan relate so well. I just wish she would listen to me for once. I mean on fashion alone ... can you the pain it causes me to see her in blue jeans and tank tops, flannels, and cowboy boots everyday? Honestly - what kind of woman dresses like that? It's as if she's never seen the inside of a fashion magazine.

And just to add to everything ... I caught them in the garage passing the whiskey back and forth ... straight out of the bottle. No tact. The woman is undoing all the years of housetraining we put in on Logan.

In a bit more warming news, seems Kitty and Peter have been making eyes at each other all semester. I'll keep an eye on it and report back ; )

Love, Jean


11:37 pm

December 1

Greer,

Glad you had a good time with your mom and Colton for thanksgiving (likely cause Lauren wasn't there I'm guessing). It was nice of her to come out to California and rent that house for the three of you. I'm sure Colton could use a good snowy holiday (you never did tell me what he's been up to).

Now ... don't freak out. And do not tell Colton. OK? Mentally yell at me right now that you will not freak out and that you will not tell Colton. I'm waiting ... ...

Alright good.

Logan and Kay were grabbed by Weapon X BUT they are back. Bit battered but no worse then we've seen Logan before. I know - I know but with everything you and Colton are going through I just couldn't let you put yourselves at risk. You know that you would have been tearing anything in your away to get to Logan. And Colton ... well I'm not really sure what he would do to help Logan and I'd rather not know. I didn't know if it was related to the raid looking for Colton or what. I just wanted you to be safe.

Again, Logan is back. He's safe. He's resting. I'll have him call you soon as he can.

Don't hate me : (

Jean


6:03 am

December 2

Jean what the hell! There is no way in hell that I'm agreeing to anything until you get Logan on phone. Have him call me immediately.

Greer


6:30 AM

December 2

Tigger, relax. Keep it to yourself. Call when you're alone and I'll explain. Promise. - Logan


2:14 pm

December 3

Jean,

I called Logan and he walked me through what he called the 'Reader's Digest" version of what happened. Just what he told me sounded awful - and I could tell he was holding out on me. I can't even believe ... I'm just glad him and the girlfriend are back safe. He mentioned she's having some trouble adjusting since they got back. It really sounds like he cares about her ... do you really think this is serious? He sure sounded serious to me. It was kind of weird.

I can't just sit around on my tail anymore. I don't care what Colton or Logan says.

Ill call later,

Greer


9:04 pm

December 22

Greer,

OK ... now that I'm back I can admit it. LA is awesome. The weather ... the beach ... the fashion ... that was a weekend Betsy and I definitely needed.

How did the costume work out? I am so proud that you crushed that Avengers tryout (and that you kicked Ant-Man and Power Woman's ass) and am very curious what upgrades they made. And by upgrades ... you know I mean look right? I expect pictures.

As you know it's finals season over here. All of your students are missing you. I have no idea how you had the patience to tutor some of these kids ... unbelievable.

And don't worry about Colton. We both know he can take care of himself. I'm sure you'll hear back from him soon. Oh and speaking of Colton, got the Mansion security upgraded. Forge says I can't send out passcodes so just call me when you're heading back (better be soon!)

Love,

Jean

PS

Logan and the girlfriend are in a bit of a rough batch. Not sure how much longer she's gonna be sticking around. Which honestly is too bad ... Logan or not. She's been great with the kids. Shame to lose her.

Greer,

OK not sure where you are but in case you missed it: Logan ... Is ... Engaged ... Let that sink in.

Seriously. There is so much work to be done ... we have SO MUCH to talk about. As if you wouldn't be involved ; ) Hurry up and call - we have SERIOUS shopping to do!

Call me ASAP

Love,

Jean

Greer,

Where are you? I actually tried calling the Avengers and no one would tell me anything. I'm hoping you're alright and just can't respond. So let me catch you up: Dress Shopping. And you won't believe this but little Ms. Cowgirl wore a dress and heels and she actually pulled it off pretty well. Hard to believe I know but maybe there's some hope there after all.

Winter break has now turned into wedding planning break. TONS to do and I need your input on EVERYTHING.

Call me!

Love,

The Party Planner

Hey sorry I was so MIA. One second I was teaching my class at the Academy and the next I'm in a quin jet headed to Wakanda. Let me tell you that -

LOGAN IS ENGAGED! YESSSSSS!

Ha thought I was really gonna just blow over that?! Oh my god ... I'm calling you in the morning for ALL the details. OK I need to come back and meet this woman. They have a trimester system here, I'll let Steve know that I need to head back to Xavier's. So let's say ... like March 15? If I can even wait that long ...

LOGAN!

Give him a big hug for me. Oh I need to call him to ... sorry Logan time for a 2am wake up call ; )

I'm coming home! Don't you dare have this without me!

Greer,

I'm up ... I'm up. Call when you can.

Don't worry about missing anything. Stubborn little bride-to-be made us swear to not pick a date. I'll explain everything.

Can't wait to see you!

Jean
