WHO: Scott and Jean
WHERE: X-Mansion
WHEN: Afternoon of the 15th
WARNINGS: Angst! Loooooooots of angst
SUMMARY: Scott and Jean meet to talk. Sorta. Scott mostly tries to avoid dealing with... anything.
FORMAT: Formal

Scott had been keeping himself busy. He was telling himself that he wasn't hiding from Emma or Jean, but that he was focusing on the needs of his team and the City, like a good leader should. Evaluating, checking, and rechecking every bit of information and every decision that he had made he sat securely behind his desk in his office pouring over reports.

He was constantly looking at how he could have done something different and how he could improve. At least, he was doing that in every area but his personal life. He knew that he couldn't avoid things forever, but he would be damned if he didn't give it the old Summers try.

The most pressing issues was Jean. Jean, who was once again back from the dead, or the equivalent thereof. Things hadn't been good with Jean for a long time before her death and he knew that their split was inevitable. He had just changed too much and while a part of him would always love her, a larger part of her knew that they were no longer the same people they had been when they fell in love.

Of course, he and Emma weren't exactly the same people right now that they had been when they were in love. He was the same but she was who she used to be and given different circumstances, who knew if they were going to end up together? Right now he couldn't be too sure, and that was one of the things he liked about being with Emma, the surety that they were good together and that they could be themselves with each other.

Sighing, Scott pushed both women from his mind and focused back on the reports at hand, becoming lost in though.
