Spider-Man: The New Age- Book 1 in The Vindicators Series

Chapter 2

Authors Note - This is a picture I drew of what Jean looks like. :)

"OK OK OK. Time out!" Connor said making a T with his hands. 

"You're telling me that you're THE Jean Grey?!? The same Jean Grey that DIED 15 years ago?" 

"Actually no,I'm her daughter."Jean said matter of factly. 

"How can you be so calm about this!"Connor exclaimed as he jumped up. "You're the daughter of Jean Grey the Avenger who sacrificed her life for the entire planet-. 

"YOU DON'T THINK I KNOW THAT!" Jean screamed. 

"Well I do but saying things out loud helps me process them which is why I was so insensitive and I'm currently rambling because of how nervous I am at the moment. Please continue."Connor said as he sat down.

"My dad would rip you to pieces".Jean said quietly as she slowly shook her head. 

"Wait a minute..... your father.....is Wolverine isn't he!" Connor squealed.

"Yeah he is." Jean said,rolling her eyes. 

"Do you have his claws?" Connor questioned.

Jean sighed as she held her arms across her chest and 3 adamantium claws slowly slid out of her hands with a snikt. Connor got up and slowly walked over to her and examined her claws. Under the street lamp he could see them perfectly. They were long, narrow,and curved slightly at the ends.

"You went through the Weapon X program?"Connor asked. 

"Yeah,my dad wanted to make sure I could take care of myself." Jean said telepathically. 

"You have telepathy too?!?" Connor said. 

Jean nodded "I have all my dad's powers as well as all my mom's powers." 

"Ok lemme get this straight you have your dads claws,his heightened senses,his healing abilities,and,your moms telepathy,telekinesis,energy blasts,flight,and her cosmic abilities." Connor listed.

"Well I technically can't fly. I use my telekinesis to lift myself into the air while simultaneously propelling myself forward." Jean explained.

"Ok I just have one more question." Connor remarked as he crossed his arms. "You know what the risks are if I decide to tell someone you exist." 

"You won't do that." Jean said with a smirk. 

"Why not?" Connor said calmly. 

"Because that's not who you are." Jean said as she stared into Connor's eyes.

As Connor stared back he started just how pretty Jean was. Red hair reaching past her shoulders that practically glowed with fire. Full pink lips with a strong jawline that made it nearly impossible not to stare at them. But her eyes,they were the most beautiful. They were swirling rings of fire,you could practically feel the heat radiating from them.

"Uh,right. So we should probably leave otherwise we're going to be late for school."Connor said as he checked his watch. 

"I'm not going to school today." Jean said as she tilted her head. 

"Ok....well I'm going to take off. See you later,I guess." Connor said as he began to turn around.

"No,you're not." Jean said as she grabbed Connors arm. "You need to come with me." 

"Why?"Connor asked. 

"Because I need to help you." Jean said as she rolled her eyes. 

"Help me with what?" Connor replied quizzically.
