Scott walked into Jean's office building and walked over to the receptionist.

"Hello Scott, surprising Jean?" She asks.

"Yes I am." Scott says. "She apparently isn't having a good day so I brought her lunch and flowers."

"You two are going to kill me one day you're so cute." She says. "But yeah she's just wrapping up with a patient now, so in like 5 minutes she'll be ready, just wait outside her office."

"Thanks Tracey." Scott says.

"Anytime." Tracey says.

Jean watched her patient leave her office and she grabs her phone again, sending another text to Kitty. God she felt so stupid. How could I miss her graduation? She was valedictorian. I promised her I'd go and I forgot! How could I have forgotten-

"Hey babe." She hears a voice.

She looks up and sees Scott with a bouquet of flowers and a bag filled with what was obviously lunch.

"Hi." She sighs.

"What's up, you looked drained."

"It was Kitty's graduation today. She texted me about it and I promised her I'd be there, that I wouldn't miss it." Jean says. "But I forgot and now she won't text me back and I feel terrible. She's leaving for Texas in a month and I won't even get to see her off." Jean says.

"Why not go visit her at the mansion?" Scott says.

"Go back to the institute? But you said you didn't want to go back there." Jean says.

"Oh I wouldn't. I was suggesting you take a trip, say hi to everybody see and see Kitty off." Scott says.

"I can't go without you." Jean says.

"Jean, I told you-"

"I know you're still not over everything, but I want to see our family again. And I want you there with me because I want everybody else to know how much I love you."

Scott smiles at her and then randomly changing the topic says,

"You look nice today, did you do something different with your hair?"

"Yes I did, I started wearing it down again." Jean says.

"I like it. It reminds me of our first few months together-in high school before the whole Phoenix thing." Scott said.

"I remember that." Jean says smiling.

"I wish things were as simple as they were back then-that way I could actually go to the professor to apologize and instead of getting a lecture on responsibility to the team and to the institute just get a pat on the shoulder and a welcome in." Scott says.

Jean looks at him surprised.

"Apologize?"

"Well yeah I did some thinking and I sure as hell don't forgive him, but he's important. Hell he raised me and put up through all my teenage drama, he's not just my father-he's my Dad." Scott says. "And as much as I hate to admit it, I want to fix things between us. If not for the sake of my relationship with him, for the sake of our future together. I mean who's going to help us raise or tiny mutant kids?"

"Oh Scott." Jean says smiling. "That's so sweet."

"Mutant kids? Sweet's not the word I'd choose, more like a pain in the ass-" Scott said.

"Not that you dummy, I just think that it's sweet that you consider him your Dad. I mean sure a father is one thing, that could be anybody. But Dad's a different thing, and I think that it's sweet. And you shouldn't hate to admit that you want to fix things with him-families fight all the time and we're all one big dysfunctional mutant family." Jean says.

"Emphasis on the word dysfunctional." Scott says.

"Oh shut up." Jean says.

Scott chuckles as his phone rings.

"Oh, it's my boss. I'll see you at home, okay?"

"Of course." Jean says and he walks over and pecks her lips real quickly before picking up his phone.

"Scott Summers-Hey Jeff what's up?" He asks walking out of the office..

Jean looked up as her boss came into her office.

"Dr. Grey." He said.

"Good afternoon." Jean said.

"Was that your boyfriend I saw coming out of your office?" He asks.

"Yes, he bought me lunch." Jean says gesturing to the bag.

"I thought you two were on the rocks. I mean you seemed pretty worried about it the other day?" He asks.

"Um no, we're not on the rocks. We talked about it and we're fine now. Better than ever." Jean says uncomfortably

"Oh, that's nice. A shame too, I mean I had a spare ticket to a basketball game tonight and I was wondering-"

"I won't be able to come." Jean finishes for him.

It was no secret that her boss had been trying to get into her pants since she started working here. Who was her boss exactly? Well at this office there was a ranking, and he was the first in command, owner of the office and he had the most patients for advanced staged mental diseases.

"Oh come on Jean just this one time? Nobody has to know." He says smiling and leaning against her desk. She backs up out of her chair and stands up.

"First of all it's Dr. Grey to you, and second of all I'm in a committed relationship with a man who I love. So I will not be going to a game with you." Jean says.

"What about lunch or dinner sometimes? My chef makes very good roast." He says getting dangerously close to her.

Jean steps back and feels a wall. Crap-think Jean think. What would the professor tell you to do? what were you trained to do?

"Come on Jean." He says moving so that he was practically pinning her to the wall. She bites her lip and closes her eyes, thinking very hard. Just tell him to stop, just say- She thinks but her thoughts are cut off by the feeling of him placing his hands on her waist.

She snaps her eyes open and says,

"It's Dr. Grey!" Before looking at him and seeing him fly across the room and into a bookshelf with enough force to break it in half right before her eyes.

"What the?" He asks.

"I quit! And I will be reporting you to the board." Jean says before taking her bag, opening her desk and grabbing her personal belongings, and her picture of Scott and her friends.

"But Jean you're one of the best we have!"

"You should've thought about that before you crossed that line." She spits at him, feeling a power inside of her she hadn't felt in years.

It felt nice, for all these years she had been able to shut her powers down so she couldn't feel their strength. But to be reminded of just how powerful she was-it felt pretty awesome. Especially as she was trying to think of a way to tell Scott why she quit without causing him to go and knock the daylights out of her now ex-boss.
