I really don't like this plan.

It's not that I can't make it on my own. Of course I can. They don't call me Marvel Girl for nothing.

But I'm not used to being alone any more. The X-Men - they're like family, now. I don't want to leave them.

And this city just has bad news written all over it.

...But I guess that's why it needs more heroes.

Damn it. You're worse than the Professor.

Aw you know Jeanie you're tougher than us, though I will admit I don't like the idea of you being on your own.

[burnmythoughts]

Well, obviously.

I'll be all right. I'll miss you, though.

[featheredxman]

Hey I'm just saying.

[aw Jeanie have a hug] Well if you need some help I'll go. [Because yeah he loves her, but hey he won't say it]

[burnmythoughts]

[Jean is always happy for a hug!]

I don't, but I wouldn't mind having you around.

[featheredxman]

I'll have to poke Mun then, it's about time she sent me to another one of their games.

[Awful young-looking Jean, this time... Would she even know who he is? Well, he'll keep his mental shields up and strong just in case.]

Always tough leavin' a family you chose, ain't it?

[burnmythoughts]

[She doesn't, but she gives him a faint smile anyway.] Yeah. Sometimes you don't know how much people mean to you until...

[Her smile fades, and her voice goes quiet.] Until they're gone.

[nobodysbishie]

Hey. [His voice was quiet, calm; something meant to be soothing.]

Gone for now don't mean gone for always; they might just follow you there.

[burnmythoughts]

What if they need me and I'm not there?

[nobodysbishie]

[He sighed, then chuckled ruefully.] What if they needed me, an' I couldn't come? What if they needed Slim, or Bobby, or Hank?

Sad to say it, but it's damn rare to find a time when only one'a us can get the job done. That's the thing about the X; there's enough talent on tap that findin' workable substitutes ain't all that hard.
