The Angel's Departure pt 15



"Jean?" A voice called after knocking on the door of Jean Grey's bedroom door.

"Yes? Come in," Jean called as she finished what she was doing at her desk and then turned to see her father walk into her room. "Hi daddy," Jean said quietly.

"Hi honey. I just wanted to tell you how proud I am of you and that if the court does not award custody to Professor Xavier, then I'll happily admit you here." Mr. Grey smiled at his daughter, he would have never guessed that she was a super hero. She was doing perfectly there and he did not feel he had the power to take her away from that. "I just hope that you'll visit once in awhile," he said shifting his weight to his other side.

"Dad, thank you," Jean said simply as she hugged her father.

"Your welcome, so what are you doing Jean?" he asked as he approached his daughter's desk.

"Oh, I'm just doing homework that's all," Jean told him. "And thank you for understanding dad."

"Thank you for showing me."

"This court is now in session, welcome back people. I just want to tell you how sick I am of seeing you all here every week. It's been a month and I'm tired of it! I have the outcome decision of the custody battle going on." The judge was oviously tired and probably had gotten up too early or gone to bed too late. "I've decided that Jean Grey will recide will her parents until she has either reached the age of eighteen or finished high and been accepted to a college."

"Your honor!" Mr. Grey shouted standing up from his place.

"Mr. Grey?" the judge asked.

"I want Jean to attend Professor Xavier's school."

"Good, then that's your decision and this case is finally dismissed. Goodbye and I hope never to see any of you ever again."

The kids came up to Jean and began hugging and talking to her about the court decision.

"You get to stay!" Scott said happily.
