Wanda

It was starting to get dark, the three of them had been sitting outside a fast food restaurant for the past two hours, it was surprising that Rogue had decided to join them, she couldn't even remember having had a conversation with her, still the girl had helped them.

"So where are you going?" She suddenly asked her

Wanda shrugged "We really don't have a plan...I guess we might ask for Erik's help"

Rogue frowned "Magneto? So it's true then? I thought it was a rummor"

"Why?" Pietro asked

The girl arched her eyebrows "He is basically against everything the Professor says about mutants and normal people, so it's weird you got in because of him, but I guess it doesn't matter now"

Wanda looked down, Loki was supposed to get every piece of information he could but he had missed details... or had he kept them for himself? He wouldn't have done that...well he also had promised not to leave so she knew that it hadn't been the right call to trust him.
"What about you?" She asked Rogue

"Honestly I have no idea, I don't even know why I attacked the police and came along with you...it's just that I thought people would treat us better since everyone respects Xavier but nothing has changed... doesn't matter now, I don't know why I'm telling you this in the first place, I should be going"

Pietro sighed "Anyway, thank you for what you did for us back there"

She shrugged "I didn't do it for you"

"Still, thanks"

The girl looked down awkwardly "So... you do know where this Magneto guy is, right?"

Wanda nodded "We do, good luck"

Rogue stood up "You too...see ya"

The twins watched her walk to the street and take a bus, once more it was only the two of them.
Wanda went to her brother's side to check his head wound, thanks to his fast healing system the wound was completely closed.
"You're fine, although you might want to take a shower, the blood ruined your silver hair"

He laughed "You admit it was perfect before"

She rolled her eyes "How is it possible that you got hit? Aren't you supposed to be faster than anyone?"

"I was facing the other way so it doesn't count"

"You mean you were staring at that Crystal girl, you know that's creepy right?"

Pietro looked offended "I wasn't staring! We were making eye contact, I saved her! You sound more bitter than usual"

Wanda sighed in defeat "My bad then, it's just that a few hours ago we belonged somewhere and now...we are stranded in the middle of nowhere, again"

Pietro stood up from his seat "We can go back if you'd like"

Her eyes twitched "what?"

"We might get arrested or something but we could apologize"

"Pietro are you crazy?!"

He smirked "Well then if you have finished stopped feeling sorry for yourself we should get going"

Wanda couldn't help to smile, he was right "I only hope Erik will let us join him"

Jean

Surprisingly enough she had felt much better after training with Professor X for a few hours, finally he called for a break.

Jean was still in bed although she had recovered her strength. He drank tea beside her and the two shared a comfortable silence.

"I am surprised of the work you have accomplished with Logan" he suddenly said "his mind is too complicated even for me"

She felt herself blushing "Thank you Professor and before anything else I want to apologize, I should have told you from the start but I was afraid he might leave... I only wanted to help him"

Charles patted her hand "I know that Jean, and I also knew about him before yesterday"

She went pale "How?"

"You might have to improve blocking visitors in your mind, I hope you can forgive me I was only concerned about your behavior" he explained

"Of course" she muttered, she felt like a complete idiot now for having given into Loki's bulling

"I have also spoken to him, he has agreed to stay for a while longer as a proper guest"

Jean couldn't help to smile and throw her arms around him "Thank you Professor!"

Charles laughed and hugged her back, they were suddenly interrupted by McCoy, he entered the room almost running
"Charles you need to see this"

The Professor nodded "I'll be right there" then turning to her he smiled "I think it's all for the day"

Jean nodded and waited politely until they had left to stand up and go to her room after all she was still in pajamas, seeing the Academy completely empty made her remember the excursion and how she had to deliver her speech...well someone else must have done it, she took a shower and looked around for Logan, she found him sitting in the cafeteria area.

As soon as he saw her he stood up, Jean smirked "You're still here"

He smiled "Well this is better than the shack"

She laughed and looked at him, she noticed the way he looked at her was different, she felt a faint blush coming on her cheeks.

"I'm glad you're better" Logan started saying "you had me worried last night"

"If it hadn't been for you Logan I'm not sure of what would have happened to me, thank you"

The two were interrupted by the sudden entrance of Director Fury, he looked frustrated and was almost out of breath  "Where's Xavier?" He asked

"I don't know" she answered

Fury shot a questioning glare at Logan before leaving the room again, in queue the students began to fill the cafeteria absorbed in their own conversations, Jubilee suddenly ran to hug her, Jean noticed her mascara was practically ruined and her favorite jacket had a mud stain

"Are you alright? What happened??"

The girl took a deep breath "They started yelling terrible things and some even attacked us, it was horrible Jean, thank God you weren't there"

"Is anyone hurt?"

Jubilee shook her head "Just a couple of bruises but nothing to worry about, although...a few left"

"Left?" She asked

"The twins... Maximoff I think it's their name and Anna"

"Rogue?"

Logan suddenly stepped in the conversation "Is she alright?"

Jubilee shot him a questioning look but answered "Yeah she's fine but she left with the twins"

Jean blinked a couple of times and turned to Logan "You know Rogue?"

Before he could answer they were interrupt by sudden angry yelling

"ARE YOU SHITTING ME?!?"

They turned to see Peter Quill confronting Rocket, the rest of the students also stared at the scene.

"I TOLD YOU SOMEONE ELSE HAD FOUND IT!' The raccoon yelled back

"AND I TOLD YOU TO KEEP AN EYE ON IT"

"I CAN'T DO EVERYTHING!"

Drax pulled Peter back to stop him from hurting Rocket
"IT WAS ONE THING YOU PIECE OF SHIT, ONE THING!"

"SCREW YOU QUILL!!"

The green skin girl stood between the two of them and said something in a low voice that none of them could hear.

Finally Fury reappeared alongside Xavier and Hank McCoy and needless to hear them speak or use telepathy Jean understood everything had become more complicated.
