Errand of Mercy (RP for manorly_wayne and skids_sally)
Note: Jean and Bruce are going to Amsterdam on the same weekend that everyone else is going either to Vegas or Switzerland, except for Logan, who is babysitting the X-kids at the Institute. Good times!
Jean may be one of the world's most powerful telepath, but she is not a precog. When she woke up this morning, she couldn't have expected that, by evening, she would be going to Amsterdam to assist a girl in distress, much less that she'd be on a private jet with Bruce Wayne.
Batman, she reminded herself. I'm on a private plane with Batman.
Total insanity. The thing was, he still looked like Bruce Wayne and yet --
Jean put her feet up, as she played with the ends of her hair, and looked across the cabin at Bruce, who seemed -- well, bored. He was always looked kind of bored to her. She wondered if that was part of being Batman.
She opened her mouth to ask him a question, then stopped. She had promised Bruce to keep his secret, and she didn't know how paranoid he was, even here. So she thought at him instead. So, when you were a kid -- did you always want to be a bat? Or what?
It wasn't like she really cared about Bruce Wayne's secrets. She had come with him because she was worried about Skids. But as long as they were alone together on the plane, she was curious.
