Jean

Things hadn't been exactly great for her, she hadn't told anyone about Warren and his attempt on kissing her but she felt inexplicably guilty​, or maybe she was just tired.

Jean had approximately cancelled her plans with Scott about 7 times to be working with Logan, not to mention skipping a class or two.

She had to be honest with herself, she enjoyed way too much her time with him, his mind was completely fascinating and ever since that night she had hugged him he had let his walls a bit down.

They sat on the cottage floor on top of a blanket taking a break from work. Jean had brought some food and the two enjoyed it, as she was biting a grape he asked

"So what do they teach you in school?"

"Well Professor​ X has always had the dream of starting a university here but since we all have different ages he teaches us the general sort of thing, and for mutants or people with abilities there's a special class"
She answered

Logan chuckled "I don't understand how he thought mixing people would turn up alright"

The red head crossed her arms "It's actually great, he finds mutants all over the world and invites us, I was actually one of the first ones...he has been like a father to me and his ideas might seem impossible but his vision is beautiful, why should there be any difference between mutants and no mutants?"

Logan held her gaze for a few seconds and finally lit a cigarette, only after he took a smoke he nodded "He sounds like quite a guy"

Jean smiled "He is"

Charles Xavier was so important for her, she had meant it when she called him a father.
A little while later she said goodbye to Logan and walked back to the house, the sun had begun to go down but there was still some light

"Who is your friend?" A voice asked from behind

Jean froze, crap. Slowly she turned around to see no one else but Loki smirking at her

"What the hell do you want?" She asked

He walked towards her pretending to be offended "I only mean to ask about the man staying in the cottage"

She knew lying wouldn't help, he'd only tell Fury about Logan and everything would be for nothing, he'd leave and she would never see him again "Just leave him alone, please"

Loki nodded "Of course, I don't mean to ruin your romantic affair with him, but I do not believe Xavier or Fury would be too happy about a man staying at the cottage"

Her heart began beating faster "Please don't!" Her tone was desperate, even gentle "please Loki, he needs help, he's my friend. Please don't tell anyone, I'll give you anything you want, I...I don't have money but I get some if you only give me time I could-"

He rose his hand to interrupt her "I don't want your money, Grey. But I will receive something in exchange for my silence"

Jean wanted to punch him but she knew she would have to play along "What do you want?"

His smile became wicked and she could have sworn his eyes sparkled with delight "I need you to enter Charles Xavier's mind"

No, not that, not Charles. Jean looked to the cottage and closed her eyes before answering "Deal"
