Who: Scott & Open to Jeanix What: Scott's been swamped with so much work lately, he passes out. Thing is, he's been doing it on purpose. Will Jean find out? When: April 11th, Afternoon Where: Danger Room Control Room Status: In progress Rating: PG-13?
Normally for Scott, taking a mid-afternoon nap would be neither prudent nor acceptable. With so much to do around Xavier’s, such as fortifying defenses and seeing to it that some of the lesser experienced X-Men received training( not to mention keeping an eye on Magneto’s associates ), sleeping during daylight hours was a luxury he could not expend. However, the notion was becoming increasingly tempting. It’d been a very long time since he’d received a good night’s sleep. It wasn’t the stress or burdens of responsibility, though those always weighed heavily upon him, it was Jean.
Well, not Jean in particular, but their relationship. It’d been some time since they reconciled, but Scott was still having difficulty coping with their obvious issues. It wasn’t everyday you threw yourself back into a relationship with the woman you loved, especially if the woman you loved had more or less killed you. So how did a guy hide these thoughts from the woman he loved? A woman who could read minds? He worked long, harsh hours.
Scott was making it a point to find things to occupy his time until he was certain Jean was already asleep. He’d slip into bed after she was fast asleep, and usually woke up an hour prior to her to get back to work. It gave the illusion that work had indeed consumed him, and that there was nothing wrong besides the fact that the world outside of Xavier’s walls was a hellish nightmare. Even Scott had his limits though, and he’d find himself passed out near the controls to the Danger Room, head resting on his arms while he dozed off.
