I'm baaaaaaaaack! And with a computer! And a drabble that I wrote but I'm not really sure what it has to with the character! Enjoy!
She turned around as she heard Scott scream, panicking. Whatever monster was chasing them wasn't relenting, and had almost gotten to the two. Scott suddenly pushed her ahead. Jean’s heart stopped and she heard a faint screaming noise as he fell and the dark mass came upon him.
“Scott!” Jean woke up screaming. It took the young woman some time to realize the screaming noise had been her and that the dream hadn't been real. But it could be in the future. She’d had premonitions before. This one was just worse than normal. It was one more thing she didn't look forward to seeing every time she saw Scott in the future, and another reason to stay in the city that much longer.
Jean got up slowly and walked around her flat until she came to the answering machine, noticing the light was blinking. She hit play expecting another call from her agent. The job opportunities normally came in to the office around one in the morning, so the early hour wasn't unexpected.
“Jean, it’s Amy. From that one place no is supposed to know about, but really does know about. Yeah. S.H.I.E.L.D. I know you cut ties with us, but we need your help. The team won’t admit it but, it’s kind of important. Come in when you get this. Thanks.”
You have got to be kidding me, Jean thought as she began rushing around her apartment. First that damned dream and then this. I’m only going in to distract myself. Not because I feel the need to help. Nope.
Her body worked on autopilot as she thought to herself, blocking out any other thoughts surrounding her in the building. But she was tired. The dreams were nightly. And she didn't want to admit it.
I need a new life!, she screamed in her mind as she walked out the door and another onslaught of thoughts came at her. She was too tired to focus on her own. Wave after wave just kept coming as she ran to the S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters.
“Amy!” She managed to gasp out as she came to the desk, using her emergency pass to bypass the security and ignoring the stares and thoughts as best as she could.
“Jean,! Thank goodness you’re here. The team is meeting on the tenth floor. Hurry!”
No debriefing?, She thought. I guess this one might be worth it.
She ran as fast as she could to the elevators. Jean could only pace in the elevator space to keep from bouncing around the walls. There was so much going on in these headquarters, it was hard to keep it away from herself.
As the elevator door dinged open, she ran toward the meeting room, the same one she had been in when she first re-awakened after her ‘Dark Phoenix’ phase. She bust open the doors and came to a stop as she took in the scene.
Jean had forgotten what day it was. Her re-awakening day. Maybe it might turn out to be a bit better than the way it started. But that didn't mean she couldn't be annoyed about running all the way to the headquarters for nothing.
