Phoenix has posed:\<br\>A long weekend had recently come to an end and kids had come milling back to the school amid rumours of an unidentified flying object or two, having been spotted flying over Westchester County. As if that wasn't bad enough, a small number of Jean's younger students had gone missing. After discussing the issue with Logan and seeking help in finding them, she had decided there was nothing more to do than retire for the night. \<br\>\<br\>She hadn't seen Scott at all that day, but that's to be expected, given he's the field leader. A large responsibility means less time together sadly, which means she arrives home at their shared cottage alone..\<br\>\<br\>The late night finds her curled up on the sofa, reading a long and boring novel by candlelight as she waits for him to return..
Cyclops has posed:\<br\>It had been a long day in addition to his duties as field leader he was also director of admissions. His day when not in class was spent going over prospects for the school. Finally returning home he takes off his coat heads up the stairs and flops on the couch next to Jean placing a hand upon her thigh. "Hey Love how was your day?" He asks with a warm smile as he gets comfy.
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey senses him before he even walks through the door. As Deputy, she is second in command, both at school and on the field. Her job is stressful enough, but his is far busier. She smiles happily as he arrives, curling up against him. "Scott! Your home finally! You wouldn't believe the day I had.." but of course his wellness is always her priority and she pulls back to look at him thoughtfully, stroking his face gently, "I hope you didn't work yourself too hard.."
Cyclops has posed:\<br\>Scott Summers laughs and kisses Jean tenderly pulling her closer to his body. "Mmm....I've done alright. And I never work myself to hard, but I believe I would believe the kind of day you've had." He says with a chuckles. "But please do tell me about ut."
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey sighs, nuzzling against him, climbing into his lap. She seems tired, one way or the other. "Mm, I'm happy to tell you all about it, but first, tell me how your day was. You must have been pretty busy.." she reaches up to gently caress his face, the faintest tingle of fiery energy erupting from her fingertips. Clearly he is her priority.
Cyclops has posed:\<br\>Scott Summers smiles and holds her close and tight running his fingers up and down her thighs. "It was fine Jean, some classes, some admissions paper work, developing a new training schedule for the team, the usual really."
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey nods and chuckles, "Well your day was certainly less executing than mine, sweetheart.." she sighs, closing her eyes as she leans her head against his chest. It feels so good to be there, almost makes her forget her worries, "Hmm, well I heard rumours of an unidentified flying object being spotted over Westchester County..That's a pretty big area, but Logan and I did a scout of the Xavier grounds and came up empty handed, which is a good thing of course, but.." her frown deepens, still troubled by something, clearly.
Cyclops has posed:\<br\>Scott Summers brow raises clearly above those Ruby Quartz shades of his. "You went scouting with Logan? And the Animal came up with nothing, not surprising from a man who relies on animal instincts." He says with. chuckle. "But go on I know there's more my love."
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey grimaces a bit, "Why, Scott, that's a bit harsh, calling him an animal..Actually, I took to the skies while he took the ground, the grounds are safe..However, three of my students did not show up for class today. I checked in with their parents and they haven't seen them in the past 24 hours. Of course I did a psychic scan of the grounds and found nothing.."\<br\>\<br\>She sighs, gripping his hands tightly! "Scott, I feel like I let them down somehow, those three were always troubled, rebellious, and they're not even quite 12 years old..I know there was a snowstorm the other night and in addition to the ufo sightings, that has me more than worried.." and clearly she blames herself.
Cyclops has posed:\<br\>Scott Summers shakes his head. "Oh come on Jean, he's a loner, never a big team player, prefers to rely on brute strength, animalistic instincts, and temper than use his head." He says honestly. "That's all the traits of a wild animal. As for the students, Jean you didn't fail them, we will launch another search tomorrow maybe get some of the X-Men in on it." He softly kisses her cheek.
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey shrugs, "To be honest, I feel a bit sorry for him.." but that's neither here nor there. She has other issues to worry about right now, anyway. "Well, if I was able to get through to them, maybe they wouldn't have done something so foolish in the first place..I just hope he's okay.." she nods and smiles, reaching up to run her fingers along his lips, "Thank you, I feel calmer alread..Really, I need a good distraction to take my mind off of things.." she smiles, nuzzling against his neck. "I'll worry about them tomorrow - I'm sure the Xmen will find them soon.."
Cyclops has posed:\<br\>Scott Summers smiles and holds Jean tight. "Like the Professor you have a knack for feeling sorry for and taking in the strays." He teases. "Jean we can only do so much we can't get through to every one....but that said we will find them and we will bring them home, I promise you my beloved." He whispers just holding Jean close and tight gently tickling her sides to try and help lighten her mood.
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey giggles a bit, "Ohh Scott, are you still mad that I adopted all those stray kittens over summer? I DID promise no more strays, didn't I?" she smiles and winks playfully at him, "All the same, you would think that a psychic could figure out the minds of a bunch of rebellious pre-teens..Even if I promised not to get inside anyone's heads without their permission..Not even your's if you don't wish it.." even though they both share a psychic link, did he ever regret it..?
Cyclops has posed:\<br\>Scott Summers laughs and shakes his head. "As long as it's not Logan you're adopting I think it's OK love." He teases kissing and nipping at her neck. "Ah but without using your powers can you truly get in their heads? As for me mine is open for you to read any time you wish, I regret nor hide a thing from you."
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey laughs and shakes her head, "Oh I have intentions of adopting a full frown man who can more care for himself. I have eyes only for you, love.." she sighs, stroking his hair thoughtfully, "Hmm, as much as I love using my powers, it feels like I'm cheating when I peer inside someone's mind without their permission.." she tilts her head curiously at him, "But I wonder, are you sure you don't regret mind linking with me? Surely even you have thoughts you would prefer to keep secret from me.."
Cyclops has posed:\<br\>Scott Summers shakes his head and kisses her gently. "I have nothing I'd want to keep secret from you. Go ahead have a look inside, maybe you can help me figure things out." He chuckles and winks at her. "Honestly I want you to look into my mind now."
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey smiles, pressing her lips softly against his, "Mmm, and yet, now your sharing your thoughts not just wuth me, but with The Phoenix as well.." she pulls back again, peering at him thoughtfully, "Are you really okay with that?"
Cyclops has posed:\<br\>Scott Summers smiles and nods his head. "Of course I am, You are the Phoenix and the Phoenix is you." He says sincerely. "So do it Jean, no second thoughts my love, I want you, all of you to know."
Phoenix has posed:\<br\>Jean Grey nods, "Very well...But you know I feel bad intruding on your deepest thoughts." she reaches out to frame his face with her hands on either side, drawing a deep breath before closing her eyes. And then she delves into his thoughts. How deep does she dare to go? Maybe slightly deeper than surface thoughts, yet fearful of delving deeper than that. Even Scott has a right to his own, secret thoughts, and at least for now, she leaves those alone at least.
Cyclops has posed:\<br\>Scott Summers smiles as he feels her enter his mind. "I want to Marry Jean...once she's ready....truly the one true love of my life...no other holds a candle to her." It's this words Jean hears over and over no matter how deep she goes.
