Jean looked at me in wonder filled eyes and quickly nodded, "right!" She turned to the tin can and focused, trying to lift it with her mind. She was so focused, she determined, I could feel determination role off of her, by which I mean I could smell it, it smelt like mint.
And suddenly the tin can began to wobble.
"Oh my God! Did you see that?!" Jean turned to me with wide eyes.
"Oh my God Jean that was epic!" Liz ran up with the other girls walking besides her, "can you do it again?"
Jean nodded as Liz and MJ surrounded her and watched as she made the tin can wobble once more. The girls cheered once again, Liz challenged Jean to actually lift the tin can into the air now and the redhead was more than willing to try.
While this was going on Felicia poked me I turned to meet her worried gaze. "What is it?" I asked.
"Nothing," she replied slipping her arms around me, hugging me tightly.
"Kitten, if something's bothering you tell me," I kissed her head of hair hugging her back.
"It's just...you seem so comfortable around her," Felicia mumbled, "you just met this girl and already you're acting like her best friend."
I smiled, "you're so cute when you're jealous."
"Hey! I'm not jealous!" Felicia hissed.
"Okay, okay," I chuckled, "you're not jealous…..she reminds me of me."
"What?"
"She reminds me of when I first got my powers. I had no one to help me...so I guess I just felt like I had to help," I told her honestly. Plus I knew how dangerous she could grow to be if someone didn't help her control her powers now. Jean Grey was a threat to the world in large, I need to make sure she never loses herself to her dark side and let the Phoenix rise.
"Damn, I forgot you were such a boy scout," Felicia said sarcastically, but I saw her smile as she buried her head into my chest.
We then walked back to Jean and the other's, Felicia's hands wrapped around mine protectively. I smiled, "alright Jean, you're doing great."
"This is amazing Peter!" Jean cried out, staring at the now hovering tin can, "thank you so much!"
"Neah Jean, it's all you," I shrugged, "but I think from now on you need some professional help, and I think I know just the man to help you."
Jean and the others looked curious. "Who?" Jean asked.
I smiled, I took out my phone and googled his name and displayed a Wikipedia page dedicated to him. I showed them the phone screen, "his name is Charles Xavier. He's the world's foremost expert on mutants. I think maybe we ought to call him."
Chapter 110: Non-magnetic fists, it's that simple
Jean did not want me calling for outside help. No matter how much I tried to convince her otherwise she was determined Charles would treat her like a lab rat and experiment on her. I couldn't tell her he was a mutant himself or that he had a school for people just like her, because well...how could I?
Officially Charles was a human, and his school wasn't registered anywhere, so I couldn't have none all of that. So I was stuck, helplessly listening to Jean rant about how Xavier was probably some freak who liked little girls.
So instead we came to a compromise. Jean needed to learn to control her powers, she wouldn't go outside for help, so instead I would train her.
Felicia didn't like the idea of me spending so much of time with another girl, so she insisted she come along as well. And then Liz and MJ asked as well, the girls apparently grew closer when they found out about Jean's powers, so now they were all the best of buddies.
I did make a psychic damper into my helmet, just in case. I knew jean couldn't read my thoughts about the future and what not, but still, someone more powerful, like Xavier might be able too. Better safe than sorry.
A week quickly passed by, the four girls were often seen talking together in school, they quickly drew the eyes of all the boys there, since most were single.
I walked into school on Monday morning and was surprised to see a jock leaning against Felicia's locker and talking to her. He wore his sports jacket and was stacked like a bodybuilder.
"So babe, whatcha doing tonight?" he wiggled his eyebrow.
"Probably going to be with my boyfriend," Felicia shot back.
"Who?" he asked in genuine surprise.
"Peter," Felicia hissed.
"Parker? You're serious? Forget that whimp! I know how to show you a good time," he said moving closer and that's when I decided to step in.
"Excuse me, coming through," I sent a jab into his ribs, causing him to buckle in pain, "you okay there man? You like you're constipated, you should really stop being full of shit," I glared.
"Good morning to you too Tiger," Felicia smiled, "bye Brad, nice talking to you," Felicia held my hand as we walked to our first period. "That was a little excessive," she whispered.
"He deserved it," I shrugged.
"I've seen you bent steel with your bare hands Tiger, he didn't, he was just acting like an idiot," Felicia shrugged, "you really shouldn't act so jealous."
I smirked, "oh really? Two words Kitten: Jean Grey."
"Hey, that's different and you know it!"
"How so?" I smiled with a raised eyebrow.
"Because Brad's not in love me with me," Felicia rolled her eyes.
I stopped, "sexy cat lady say what now?!"
"Oh come on Peter, you see the way she looks at you, I swear it's like that girl doesn't even try to hide it. I'm surprised you didn't realise it sooner."
I blinked, "I just….I never thought it was possible," which was true, this was Jean fucking Grey! The Phoenix! How the hell did she get a crush on me?! "This is so weird."
"Oh get used to it Tiger," Felicia whispered, "why if I wasn't here to teach these bitches to back off you'll be flooded with girls," she looked to the left and glared at a group of girls that smiled at me.
"You do know they're staring because of the clothes right?" I pointed at the fashionable new set of clothes I wore that Felicia had picked out for me, "I've been getting so many looks because of these."
"Oh please Peter, clothes don't make the man, well, they do, but in this case I would say they are staring because of your body under the clothes. You really have changed you know."
She was right, I had grown. I now stood at 5 feet 10 inches with broader shoulders and bigger biceps, swinging across the city did have
its
advantages.
