Where does the next generation come from? (Open)
Typically, Scott Summers maintained an open door policy to his office, when he wasn't teaching or otherwise occupied with duties as leader of the X-Men, and today was no exception.  He was at his desk, the computer displaying various student files, while he scratched at the notepad in front of him with a pen, occasionally adding a name to it.

The fact of the matter was, while they had numerous students, the eye had been to simply providing them training in controlling their abilities and providing them with a quality education.  The other fact of the matter was, the world was not going to necessarily allow that.  He'd been an X-Man for most of his life, and it seemed like he would continue to be one until it killed him. 

The new generation had to come from somewhere.

He looked over the names he had written so far.   Hisako Ichiki.  Sofia Mantega, Julian Keller.  Megan Gwenn.  There were a few other possibilities too.  Santo Vaccarro, perhaps, or Victor Borkowski.   Sooraya Qadir remained a posibility as well. 

Picking children to send off to battle.

Was this truly the right thing to do?

"I wonder that myself too," Scott admitted. "Sometimes."

A hard won admission, really. He'd been a follower of Xaiver's dream for nearly all his life. The first student recruited, he'd believed in the dream with a fervor that had at times consumed his life, and yet, how much did they have to show for it?

"I like the first idea better," he replied. "Any particular suggestions for who?"

She was relieved when he said he liked the first idea better and that relief washed over her face. Despite having incredible abilities the idea of probing into someone's mind--particularly that of a child--was something that sometimes didn't sit well with her.

"Not particularly. Perhaps Megan."

Scott nodded again. "Not a bad idea," he agreed. "She tests pretty well in Danger Room scenarios and the like, but I'm not positive about how well she'd do in the field."

"Then it seems a field test is in order. We can work our way down from her until we've tested everyone. If nothing else, this could be used as a credit in one of their classes should we ultimately not put them on a team."

He smiled. "Brilliant. What did I ever do without you?"

"Lived a very dull life. Probably ate ramen every night. I'm the best thing that ever happened to you, it's true." She grinned. She was completely teasing him.

Teasing, but truthful teasing. He'd practically sleepwalked through the time she'd been away.

"Not every night. Sometimes there were Spaghetti-O's."

Did Scott Summers just crack a joke? Yes. Yes he did.

"Probably the store-brand kind without meatballs even." She laughed. "It's good for your health that I'm back. And once you're ready for me to move back into our room, we'll have to upgrade you to Chef Boyardee."

When they were ready. It was strange, this not-quite starting over, but not quite picking things back up from where they were either. But they'd weather it.

"You promise?"

"I promise." She smiled. "I've already been to the grocery store."

Was that a hint?

"Really now?" Scott asked, amused. "It would be a shame to let that go to waste then."

"Do you happen to know a kitchen I could stock with them then? They're kinda sad in the grocery sack."

He reached across the desk to take her hand.

"I believe I know just the place."

Jean curled her hand in his and her long slender fingers laced with his as she squeezed.

"I want to come home now, Scott."
