Jean didn't want it to seem like she had been avoiding Scott. She had been keeping herself busy doing whatever task Betsy would give her and doing a good amount of observation and snooping on her own. A large part of her had wanted to run to Scott, ask him to hold her together, but a larger part of her was still confused, still hurting and ashamed over what she had done in a fit of mental agitation.
She tried to ease her fears by reminding herself of the extenuating circumstances, but she had all this power in her mind, power that she had always thought she could control until recent events had shaken that central belief. What happened when she got older and normal mental slipping came in to play? What if whatever was happening now had permanently changed her mind? Was she safe to be around? Was she even the good person she had always tried to be?
She curled her knees up to her chest on the gazebo bench, staring out at the leaves on the trees. She could feel each one moving, feel the wind caressing them. The progression of her mutation was both awesome and terrifying. She wished she had someone to share all this with.
