LOGAN STOOD AT JEAN'S SIDE IN THE INFIRMARY. SHE WAS SHE WAS HOOKED UP TO EQUIPMENT, MONITORING HER STATUS.LOGAN STROKE JEAN'S HAIR AND SHE SUDDENLY WOKE, GRABBING HIS WRIST.
"Jean." He whispered. She gave him a faint smile. "Welcome back.
"This is where we first met, you know." She placed her hands on his chest. "Except you were down here, and I was up there."
"You okay?" Logan asked her.
"Better." As she stretched out, she telekinetically detached every wire from her body. "Logan, you're making me blush."
"You're reading my thoughts?" He raised an eyebrow at her.
"I don't have to." Jean leaned in closer, but Logan stepped back. "It's okay."
She kissed him passionately, and at first, Logan gave in. But suddenly, he stopped and gently pushed her away. "No, this isn't you."
"Of course it is!" Jean claimed. She tried to kiss him again, but he pushed her away.
"No." Logan shook his head. "The professor said you might be different."
Suddenly, her entire demeanour changed. "He would know, wouldn't he? The way he romps around our minds all the time? He can't help himself, can he?" Jean scoffed. "Look at you, Logan! He tamed you!" For a moment, Jean was in a daze, but she reverted back. "Oh, my God. Logan, where am I?"
He placed his two hands on her cheeks. "You're in the mansion, Jean." He tried to comfort her. "You need to tell me what happened with Scott."
"I don't know." She shook her head. "Oh, God. What did I do to him?"
"Jean."
"NO!" She closed her eyes and the entire room shook. Glass shattered, equipment fell to the floor. "I can't handle it, Logan."
"No, Jean!" He shook her. "We can fix it. We can make it like it was!"
"Please kill me." She begged as Logan's eyes went wide. "Kill me before I kill someone else."
"Scott." Logan softly said.
Logan flew into a wall, traces of fire trailed him. He slumped to the floor as Jean levitated from the table. She landed on the floor and walked towards the door. Without pausing, she ripped the door from its hinges and continued to leave the mansion.
