The Return of the Phoenix

Jean and Rachel returned to the mansion two hours later. Rachel seemed a little upset when they returned. Both went to their rooms without speaking to one another. Logan wondered what happened that angered them so much.

Jean put her bags on her bed. She pulled out some new clothes and a manilla envelope. Rachel didn't understand. Jean heard a knock on the door.

"Red it's me," Logan's gruff voice was soft.

Jean opened the door and granted him entrance to her room.

"What happened?" Logan didn't begin with any small talk.

"What do you mean?" Jean didn't look at him.

"You and Rachel seemed upset when you returned," Logan replied.

"It's nothing," Jean shook her head and went back to putting her new clothes away.

Logan grabbed Jean's arm and spun her around so she was facing him. Logan could see the distress she was in.

"It's ok, you can talk to me darlin'," Logan softly spoke.

Jean stood still for a moment. She finally broke out of Logan's grasp and grabbed the manilla folder that was on her bed. She handed it to Logan. Logan looked at the folder for a second, then looked back at Jean.

"Open it. This is why she is upset," Jean spoke.

Logan opened the folder and took out the papers. He read the papers and was stunned. He was not expecting that.

"Do you see why she is mad at me?" she asked.

"I do."

Jean grabbed the folder and put in on her desk. She sat down and patted the bed next to her, inviting Logan to sit next to her. He took her invitation.

"What am I going to do Logan? I'm so lost," Jean sighed in defeat.

"Do what you feel is best. Don't worry about everyone else, worry about yourself," Logan replied.

Jean smiled. She soflt kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you Logan," Jean got up, grabbed the manilla folder and left the room.

Logan cupped his cheek where Jean kissed him. He was blushing. It was good to have her back. He got up and went to his own room.

Jean knocked on the door and waited for a response. A moment later, the door opened. Emma frowned at seeing the red head.

"Is Scott here?" Jean asked.

"Why?" Emma asked coldly.

"He is still my husband and I hae a right to talk to him," Jean replied just as cold.

Scott walked up behind Emma, and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Can we talk for a moment?" Jean asked Scott.

"Sure," Scott opened the door all the way and followed Jean down the stairs.

When the entered the empty kitchen, Jean handed Scott the manilla envelope.

"What is it?" Scott asked.

"Open it," Jean responded.

Scott opened the envelope and read the papers. They were divorce papers.

"I already signed them," Jean stated.

Scott looked at his soon to be ex-wife. Was this what he wanted. She was so beautiful. But he had Emma now. But could Emma replace Jean in his heart? He thought he was going to spend the rest of his life with this flame-haired vixen. But the obstacles came. First it was Madelyne Prior, the Phoenix force, then Scott being possesed by Apocolypse, and of course Wolverine. But then Emma came and changed all that. He sighed. He lost Jean forever. His choices pushed Jean out of his life. He grabbed a pen and signed the divorce papers. He felt a pain in his heart as he handed Jean the envelope with the signed divorce papers inside.

"Goodbye Scott," Jean said as she grabbed the envelope.

"Goodbye Jean," Scott replied.
