Start of Summer: Prologue

Ratings: PG, nothing graphic or explicit.. yet

Setting: Takes place after X2, but Jean did not sacrifice herself. I also bring in a couple of comic book elements to the story. Seeing how Scott/Cyclops got screwed over in X2, how could things get worse for him.

Summary: Jean suddenly ends things with Scott. Now, he has to figure out what to do.

Scott couldn't sleep and spent half the night just pacing around the deck. He couldn't stay in the mansion, not after everything that has happened. He was confused, hurt, angry, and afraid. Afraid of loosing the one person he could not live with out, who gave him life, gave him purpose.

He had faith that she will be here in the morning. That everything will work itself out. That this will be nothing more than a bad memory. He sat down on the front stairs, which faced the Lake. It was the end of May and its during these times were the days and nights are drastically different, where you'll be wearing shorts during the day and looking for your coat at night. Scott held the ring in tightly around his hand. It had grown numb from the cold and brought it up to his mouth to breath warmth into it.

The sun was beginning to rise and with it the promise of a new day. He could already feel the suns intense glow warm everything around him, he had always been sensitive to the sun. Either way he thought, it was going to be one hell of a summer.
