The Angel's Departure pt 12



"Now I've already explained to everyone last week that Miss Grey would be staying at the Xavier Institute for an entire week," the judge told everyone in the courtroom.

"Now I expect to see everyone back here, same day, same time, and same room next week. Dismissed."

Mr. and Mrs. Grey approached Professor Xavier and the kids, who were rejoicing at the fact that they had Jean back for at least a week. "Professor Xavier?" Mr. Grey called to his attention.

"Yes, Mr. Grey."

" I just want you to know that I'm proud that you have raised Jean so well, and I can tell you have raised all of these children well. I hope possibly that after this we can possibly be...aquantices."

"Oh please," Mrs. Grey said interrupting them and surprising everyone. "We hope we can be friends."
"I'd like that. I was wondering if you would be avalible next Saturday for a cook out at the mansion?"
"We'd love to," Mrs. Grey told him accepting his invitation.

"Good," the professor said.

"We'd love to have you," Scott told them.

"So Jean, you have like totally see the pictures that Storm took. They are absolutely wonderful," Kitty told her on the way back to the mansion.

"So, what do you think the judge'll decide?" Scott asked her.

"I don't know, but can we not possibly talk about it? It's just really nice to be back," Jean told them.

"No problem, whatever you want Jean," Scott told her. They had taken two vehicles to get to court that day and Jean had thought it was strange that Ororo and Logan had not attended.

"Scott where's Logan and Storm?" Jean asked.

"There's at the mansion."

"Oh," Jean simply said.

"What's wrong?" Kitty asked.

"Nothing. I was just wondering where they were."

"They wanted to come," Evan said defending them, "but the professor said that we didn't need the entire calvary to bring you home."

"Well, I guess it's true."

"Cheer up Jean, we're almost home."

At the mansion, Logan and Storm were getting ready for the homecoming. They had all missed Jean and had decided to have a small welcome home party. They had originally planned to have it outside, but Storm told Logan that it was going to rain, and if it didn't rain that she'd make it rain anyway.

"I'm telling you it's not going to rain!" Logan told Storm once again.

"It is!"

"Not!" Logan yelled at her as it began to rain outside, "what the..."

"I told you," Storm said turning and going back to her work.

"They're coming, we have to hurry. I hear the cars," Logan told her rushing to finish his work.

Storm and Logan waited at the front door, as the group walked in. Everyone was wet and soaked at that. "Okay everyone upstairs change in some warm clothes before you catch cold," Storm told them. "Jean!" she called as the others ran up the stairs to their rooms.

"Yes?" Jean asked holding herself to try and get alittle warmer.

"Welcome back," Storm said kissing her forehead lightly."

"Thanks," Jean said smiling.

"It's good to have you back Jeannie, you can keep the others in line," Logan told her. She smiled at him and then ran upstairs to change.

"Is everything ready?" the professor asked them.

"Yep, everything's ready Chuck."

"Good, the kids need some time together. Let's go out for awhile," the professor suggested.

"In this rain?" Logan asked.

"We have unbrellias, and a car," Storm told him.

"Then it's settled."

"I'll tell the kids while I get my coat," Storm told them.
