The Long Road (Scott Summers X Male Reader)

Ch 37. The Truth

Deep in the night, light come out of the mutant institute. Within his office, Charles nervously sits at the fireplace. The entire staff, except Logan, is with him, also worried. In the back of the room, Hank and Piotr are standing, talking to each other.

"How long ago is when Logan contacted us?"

"15 minutes." Hank replies.

Piotr hums. Both continue to be quiet. They don't know how to deal with this kind of situation. There is barely a lead where Y/N and Jean is. Logan is tracking Scott, who is God know where. And now they have to wait until something happens. They wish they could help Charles, but none of them don't know how they could cheer someone that has a missing son. The other students are also worried, but they don't know yet what happened to Y/N. But since they are in bed, if Y/N isn't found, one of them need to break the news.

"What do you think about Scott?"

Hank thinks for a second, collecting his thoughts. "I'm not sure. I think it's for the best to wait before we made accusations."

From what they heard; Logan is certain Scott knows something about this entire ordeal. From Scott recently behavior, Logan seems to be talking the truth. Although not certain, Piotr has a feeling something is wrong with Scott. If anything, bad happens to either Y/N or Jean, and Scott is responsible, than the giant isn't sure what he will do against Scott.

"And what if Scott somehow is responsible for what happens or what is going to happen?" Piotr asks. He crosses his arms.

"We figure out when we discover he's responsible, not before." Hank responds calmly. He has a sneaking suspicion that Piotr has the same opinion as Logan. "Don't let the situation make the worst of you. Let's focus first on Y/N's and Jean's safety."

Although Piotr is still warry about Scott, Hank is right. Y/N's and Jean's safety is top priority. "You're right. I am sorry."

"It's alright." Hank responds.

There are a few minutes of silence, with the only sounds of the crisping of the fireplace. Though eventually Charles senses something. "Y/N is back!" Everybody looks up to him. "Scott just walked in with him." He instantly goes to the door. Everybody follows him.

The four of them get downstairs and go to the front door. There, he sees Scott with a tired face. His tears dried up and his arms shaky, exhausted of holding Y/N.

"Y/N!" All of them says at once.

They go to him. Hank immediately checks up on Y/N's health, wondering if there is any wounds or injuries. "What happened to him?" Although no visible injuries, Y/N has very clearly been hurt.

Scott opens his mouth, but nothing comes out of it. Piotr merely grabs Y/N from him. "We should go to the infirmary."

While Hank wants answers, like he said, Y/N safety takes priority. "Right."

The walk away. Scott wants to follow them, taken a couple of steps, but falls on the ground. "Scott!" Charles worriedly yells.

Ororo crouches down and helps Scott up. She looks back at her boss. "Y/N needs you. I help Scott."

Charles hesitates a little bit. Y/N is his son, and he wants to see him so bad, but he still wants to know what Scott's deal is. "Thank you." He turns around and move towards the infirmary.

Ororo helps Scott. Now with his arm around her neck, she moves towards his bedroom. While walking, Ororo could hear Scott whisper. "I'm sorry Y/N... I'm sorry Y/N..."
