Harlow and Scott sat in Professor X's office. They were both in trouble and Charles was giving them their punishment. Harlow and Scott kept glaring at each other.
"I'm very disappointed in you two. The two of you are the brightest and most professional teachers here. I had expected this from Logan and Gambit not the two of you" Professor X said strictly. He looked at Harlow then at Scott to see if the point had gotten through. "Now I'm not going to fire you but you will both have to be partners now. That means helping each other and getting to know the other inside and out. If you can't do this then both of you will be off of the X-Men."
Harlow POV
Scott and I walked out of Uncle Charles' office. I must say that I'm sort of glad that Uncle Charles bailed us out of jail not Logan. We were walking towards our classrooms which were right across the hall from each other. I noticed that Scott kept looking at me.
"What?" I snapped.
"Nothing just your hair is really red" he simply replied.
"Oh that's normal. So when are going to start this whole get to know each other and try to be friends stuff?" I asked sarcastically.
"Well we can start right now if you don't have any classes" he said.
"Ok then" she said as she unlocked the door to her classroom.
HARLOW POV….
We sat in my classroom for hours. Scott was telling me about his life and all of the stuff. I must say I feel sort of bad for him because of Jean but otherwise my feelings are neutral towards him. The one thing that I would hate the most if I was in his shoes is the fact that the person you love could never look you straight in the eyes.
"So tell me about your life" Scot said to me.
"Well first off my dad was the professor's younger brother and my mom was Tony Stark's younger sister" I told Scot. I hesitate before saying the rest. "They were killed when I was very young. I don't really remember them anymore. I just know what they look like really. My Uncle Tony took me in. Although it was more of his assistant Pepper that looked after me. Tony and Dr. Bruce Banner started to home-school me when I eight. There was a lot of other things to but you can find that out as we go a long" I told Scot.
"Wow" Scot said at first, "I'm sorry to hear about your parents. But I'll need to know the rest about you."
I hit him over the head as he said the last thing. Scot then fell of his chair but he pulled me down with him. We both started laughing. Before I knew it he was on top of me and our faces were almost touching. Then to make it even more awkward Logan, Kahlan, Jean and Charles burst through the door.
No One's POV…
"Umm did we interrupt something?" Kahlan asked as Scot got off of Harlow and helped her up. There was an awkward silence.
"Scot we need to speak with you" Charles said sternly. Scot just nodded to Charles and walked out of the room with Charles, Logan and Jean.
Scot POV…
I entered the professor's office and sat down in a chair. Professor X went behind his desk while Logan and Jean stood beside me.
"Scot are you out of your mind!" Jean yelled at me.
"Scot that wasn't cool" Logan told me. I looked to the Professor for help but he was just glaring at me.
"Ok guys what you saw wasn't what you're thinking. I fell off of my chair and accidently pulled her off of her chair too. I guess we got so caught up in our laughing that we didn't noticed what we were doing" I tried to explain.
"Still Scot she is younger than you" Jean told me. Obliviously she wasn't a Harlow fan. "You are not allowed to date her" Jean said.
"Jean! Shut up!" I yelled. The three of them stared at me. "Sorry Jean. But you are no longer in charge of me. We are not married anymore. So how about you boss around your new husband" I told her as I pointed to Logan. I had always wanted to say that to her. With that Jean stormed out of the room with Logan on her heels.
"Scot don't hurt Harlow please" Professor X told me as I was about to leave the room.
