What one man will do to have the woman he wants



Scott watched Logan and Gambit moving the smaller objects from the room. “A lot of stuff here don’t you think?”
He said to Logan.
Logan glared at him.” I thought I smelled an asshole.”
Scott smiled. Gambit frowned. “Why do dis ta Gambit homme?”
“It was meant for Logan.”
“Logan is no alone homme.” Gambit said continuing to frown.
“You are what is called collateral damage Gambit.”
Logan growled at Scott. “Is this how ya deal with yer girl choosing me?”
Scott continued to smile even though Logan’s statement hurt him.
“We haven’t begun that Logan.”
Gambit felt anger bordering on hate for Logan from Scott.
“Wha ar’ ya talkin bout?”
Scott smiled and departed.
Gambit looked at Logan. “Gambit dink you should keep yo lips to yoself.”
“He’s an asshole and he’s gonna use yer Stormy ta get back at me.”
Gambit got closer. “Why my stormy matta to you?”
Logan frowned. “She doesn’t.”
Gambit read him like a book. “Good.” He walked away.


Jubilee laughed at Ro mimicking Logan perfectly.
Rogue couldn’t catch her breath long enough to speak.
“You spend waaayy too much time listening to him.”
“He’s always there every time I turn around.” Ro said dipping the roller into the lilac paint.
Jubilee raised an eyebrow. “I haven’t seen him around that doctor.”
“Her name is Jean and I think they realize it was a mistake.” Ro said.
The girls looked at each other then Ro. “Wolvie never gives up on something he wants.” Jubilee said carefully painting an edge near the window seal.
Ro looked at her. “You think he wants Jean.”
“Nah Sugah.” Rogue said smiling at Ro.
Ro looked at the two girls. “I don’t think so.” They however continued smiling.

Scott was preparing a picnic lunch for him and Ro as Gambit and Logan walked into the kitchen looking for anything to eat.
Scott smiled at them grumbling about there not being any food. Suddenly Jean and Ro walked in with bags of food.
“Gambit ever tells you how much he love you chère.”
Ro rolled her eyes and set the bags down just as Bobby and Warren brought in more.
“Logan”
He looked at Ro. “I’ll make you and Gambit lunch if you get the rest of the food.”
The two agreed and went to retrieve the bags.
“Who is this for?” Ro asked Scott seeing the elaborate feast being packed away for a picnic.
“This is for me and you.”
Ro looked at Jean. She pretended not to hear Scott. “Oh, well I promised Gambit I’d have lunch with him. I’m sure Jean isn’t busy.”


Scott looked at her Jean smiled at him. Scott was about to return the smile but Logan walked in with Gambit.
Scott glared at Logan and turned away from Jean.
“Jean what do you say?” Ro glared at her.
“Sure if you still want to Scott?”
Scott replaced the smile on his face. “Okay.”
Jean smiled at him.
Ro began to make lunch as the others put the food away.
Scott and Jean left for their picnic.

“One eye making a play fer ya.”
Ro choked on her lemonade. Gambit patted her back.
“Where ya manners are Logan? Disgusting dings not be discussed at ta table non.”
Ro threw his hands off her. “Why do you say that? What reason would Scott have to do that?”
Logan bit into his sandwich and smiled at her. Ro frowned at him as his eyes traveled down her body hugging low cut shirt and matching shorts.
“No reason.”
Gambit smiled to himself. The bastard wanted his Stormy and Scott knew it.
He knew she wouldn’t fall for this unfaithful, scoundrel wait that sounded like him.
“Are you okay Gambit?”
“Qui. My Stormy.”
She rolled her eyes.” Don’t call me that.”


Scott began unpacking the basket as Jean sat down on the blanket and watched him.
“You really didn’t have to bring me here.”
Scott looked at her and smiled. “Aren’t you hungry?”
Jean sighed. “Scott I hope you can forgive me and Logan for our mistakes.”
Scott set the basket aside and sat down across from Jean.
He looked her straight in the eye through his sunglasses. “What you’ve kissed him more than once?”
Jean looked down at her sandwich. “You remember a year ago when we had that awful fight.”
“You were flirting with another man Jean. Most men and women don’t like that.”
Jean refused to look up at him. “You said that you didn’t trust me and that you didn’t think we should sleep together until you could trust me.”
Scott could feel bile rising in his throat and a tightening in his chest like he had never felt before. It felt like a heart attack.
“What are you trying to tell me Jean?”
“We were apart and I was feeling alone and Logan…”
Scott let out a roar of pain that made the creatures in the forest surrounding them scurry away in fear.
Jean began crying.
Scott fell forward holding his chest and breathing hard as if he couldn’t catch his breath.
“When Jean?” His voice was a growl.
Jean shuddered as she spoke. “It happened when you were visiting your father.”
He faced her from his hunched over position. “I was gone for a week Jean. You mean to tell me that the entire time you were sleeping with Logan.”
Jean nodded as the tears rolled down her face.
Scott grimaced as the knot in his chest tightened to unbearable pain.
Jean reached out to touch him and he slapped her hands away.
She sat back. “We were not at the Mansion no…..”
“I don’t’ want the fucking details.” He growled out as he fought to get into a sitting position.
Scott closed his eyes as the anger simmered inside of him. “Why did you lie to me if you love me?”
Jean began sobbing uncontrollably.
Scott struggled to his feet. He glared down at Jean.
“Scott I’m sorry. I told you because I love you.”
Scott looked straight ahead towards the calm lake before them. ‘True love doesn’t hurt Jean.”
She sniffled as she looked up at him as he took the sunglasses off.
“I think you should go now.”
She stood. “Scott I…”
“GO” He growled at her. Jean quickly walked away. But it soon turned into a sprint as tree splinters began to fall around her. She could hear Scott’s cry of pain as he continued his destruction of the forest.

Ro looked out the window to see the birds scurrying away.
“What’s going on?” She said.
Logan and Gambit came beside her to see Jean running towards the Mansion as if something were after her.

Jean spoke telepathically to the Professor.
< Do you still need someone to speak at the Senate for the debate?>
< Yes.>
< I will do it.>
< Are you sure? It will be a long time away from us.>
< I need the time away>
She heard the pause from the Professor.
< I can feel his rage. Why are you running from him Jean?>
Jean was silent in her mind.
< I will make all the necessary arrangements for your trip.>
< Thank you.>
She ended the conversation as she stepped into the Mansion and met Ororo, Logan and Gambit in the foyer.
“Jean are you okay?” Ro said pulling her into her arms as the tears rolled down Jean’s face.
Jean looked at Logan while in Ro’s embrace.
< He knows>
Logan could smell him coming towards the house. He smelled of anger, betrayal and something else he couldn’t place.
Jean pulled away from Ro. “I have to leave for the summit.”
“Why are you going?”
Jean didn’t answer as she ran up the stairs towards her room.
The door to the Mansion opened and the leader of the X-men stood there with his dark brown hair covering the left side of his sunglasses and face. He looked wild and dangerous. He was a hard breathing muscled mass of lethal energy waiting to be unleashed.
“Ororo I want you to go upstairs.”
Ro trembled from his calm voice and the energy coming from his body.
“Scott.”
She moved towards him.
“Please go now.” He said before she got close enough to touch him.
Ro looked at Gambit and Logan standing there ready for an attack. She slowly turned and walked up the stairs.
