It was the calm before the storm. One thing was for certain, and that was that the Hellfire Gala was going to cause a rather large splash. Emma would accept nothing less and Jean was culpable as well in regards to feeding the frenzy; the Gala had become the time for the X-Men to announce their newest iteration of the team through the telepathic vote. There wasn’t enough time to see anyone anymore, so Jean was getting creative. That, in this instance, included bringing Logan to her final fitting for her Gala costume.
As Jumbo worked to attach the cape between the shoulder blades, Jean glanced back at the Canadian. He hadn’t even attended the Gala last year, opting instead to work security. For the second year in a row, Jean would arrive on the arm of her husband. It was just this time that everyone’s eyes would be on them unfavorably. Jumbo stepped back and Jean carefully moved to descend from the dais.
“Does it look okay?” She took the green and gold in before smiling slightly as she switched gears. “You know, all you have to do is say the word and I’ll nominate you for the X-Men vote. You’d be a great addition to the team.”
