"Mystique is a shapeshifter. Sabretooth is an animal who walks on two legs." Scott explained to Alex. "And yes, they are dangerous. Which is exactly why we can't go charging in there. We could make a tense situation worse. Sit tight until we have a reason to believe she's in danger." Jean agreed with her husband. No good would come of there being a confrontation in the hallway, especially with a crowded hotel. The media would chalk it up to troublesome mutants and have a feeding frenzy.
< Jean, try to contact Charles, > It did make sense, no matter how off-terms the couple and their mentor might be. They needed to know what was happening. < We need to know what's going on with these alliances. Being out of the loop is getting dangerous. If you can't get ahold of him, > Jean arched a brow as Scott took a breath, < Try Magneto or the White Queen.>
Jean could only stare before she frowned. If anything she was not happy at the prospect of contacting Magnus or Frost. Hopefully it wouldn’t come to that. < All right, I’ll try to contact Charles first. > If she couldn’t get a hold of him, then maybe she’d contact one of the other two. She might have to, and knowing this, she only hoped Charles would reply. Closing her eyes, Jean concentrated on Charles’ mental signature. She let Scott answer any more questions Alex might have.
< Charles? It’s Jean. I was wondering if I might be able to have a moment of your time. > It felt so odd speaking like this to the man who was like a second father to her. < Scott and I were wondering about your plans, as well as who they are with. We’d like to be informed of anything you’ve got planned, since not being aware of the procedures is not the best move right now, for any of us. > There, it was out in the open. Jean tried to make her mental tone seem as sincere as possible, and tried to keep out any worry that might lace her voice. She wasn’t sure what to think if he didn’t reply.
