*** The Date ***

It's been roughly two weeks after the attacked on the Grey's and the X-Men were finally able to relax. Professor Xavier had put together a team of mutants to travel to the Shi'ar empire to find answers for why they had attacked the Grey family. Jean had wanted to go along with them but she was the Headmistress of school, not to mention the relationship between her and the Shi'ar was very contentious at this point.

Clark found out the reason why Jean was so hated by the intergalactic empire. While possessed by the Phoenix, a primordial Cosmic entity that reminded him of the Lanterns Primordial beings, she wiped out an entire solar system full of sentient beings. They stopped it in a way but since then the Phoenix had been intruding into Jean's life at different interval. However, Jean had told him that Wanda Maximoff had somehow ripped the Phoenix away from her, along with the rest of the mutation populations powers.

Clark could not help but wondered what his life was like during the House of M. Unlike Jean he had no memory of it. Of course that was before he regained his powers.

With things now relatively peaceful, Clark was finally able to make good on taking Jean out on that date. So he was dressed in his best, not to casual but not too fancy. When he pulled up to the front door of the mansion he saw Jean had already exited, probably sensed him arriving.

Exiting his truck Clark saw Jean in her full glory and felt his jaw opened. Wearing a black dress that hugged her body like a glove, she moved with grace that could even rival Diana. There was a slit on the side of the dress that teased him by only revealing hints of her legs as she moved toward him. Her hair was framed all around her shoulders with curls in it's tresses. She was in a word, stunning.

Another detail Clark took in as Jean got closer was her amused expression and that her lips looked redder than usual. Before he knew it she was in front of him.

"Are you going to breath anytime soon Clark?" Jean asked with a teasing smile as her emerald eyes danced with delight. That's when he realized she was right, he had forgotten to breath!

Doing so, he gave Jean a rose he bought for this occasion. Jean accepted it gracefully and smiled at him before pulling him by his tie and kissing on his cheek.

"Such a gentlemen," Jean complimented him and Clark could not help but smiled goofily before he remembered to open the door for her. He shot her an apologetic look but she merely looked amused as she got into the passenger side. Just as he entered the driver side he saw Kurt aka Nightcrawler appeared in front of his driver side window.

"Don't have too much fun you crazy kids!" Nightcrawler tease the couple even as Kitty was wolf whistling from the door way.

"Ugh, those guys!" Jean growled before she settled in his car before she gave Clark one of her stunning smiles.

"So shall we?"

+++ Dinner +++

"Wow, sounds kind of like the Avengers." Jean commented as she slowly drank her wine.

They were in an upscale restaurant in the city, nothing to fancy of course, he couldn't get a reservation on such short noticed but it was very nice. Clark knew Jean was not a snob, but like both Ma Kent's always said, it can't hurt to treat girls nicely. So here they were, Clark and Jean situated in a private booth, almost nobody around in the comfortable surroundings. They discussed in details on his memories, mainly on the subject of his past life which he felt very at ease discussing with her. Jean truly seem fascinated by it.
