Jean smiled, knowing Kitty had helped her out when she didin't have to. Jean owed her one.
"Thank you, you really don't give yourself enough credit Miss Pryde." Jean said smiling.
Jean glanced around at the class who were cleaning up quickly. She smiled, marveling at how well these young mutants could cope in a dire situation such as that. She walked around to the tables, collecting the dissecting trays, stacking them one on top of the other, then moved slowly, but surely, back to her desk. Setting the trays in the sink behind her desk, she turned and smiled warmly at the class. Going into their minds and blurring the details of todays lesson, making sure that the ones that did remember what happened, didn't remember much.
"Well, i think thats enough for today, don't you?" She said, a smile pulling up the corners of her lips.
As the kids scrambled out the doors she called over there heads.
"And don't forget, you will be recieving the results of your lab test on thursday!"
Jean turned back to Kitty, and sighed, happy, but tired. Okay, that was a lie, but she was tired, even if she wasn't happy.
"Well, crisis averted." She said, "all thanks to you."
Jean began ruffling through some of the tests, knowing that she would spend another night grading papers. And, oddly enough, she was glad, for that meant she wouldn't be having any nightmares tonight. Still ruffling through the papers, she spoke, mostly to herself, but glad that Kitty was there to interrupt if the time presented itself.
"I don't know whats going on... Some days i'm fine, other days i can't seem to lift a book... It just doesn't make sense, i practice all the time, my teke should be improving, not getting worse. And the voices! It's like i'm never alone, not even in the confines of my own head..." Her voice trailed off, and she quieted, then sank back into her chair, apparently lost in thought.

"Nah, it wans't that difficult, I didn't do anything any other person wouldn't do."
Kitty smiled and watched as JEan went around collecting things. She wasn't dumb and she already realized that JEan was really worried. Kitty knew what she was doing. Jean was blurring the memories, but not Kitty. Kitty was n't one that would need to forget and she just nodded to JEan as she slipped her satchel over her shoulder and gathered her things, all the while keeping an eye on Jean. The woman was scaring Kitty a bit. She worried about people quite often.
"Crisis averted, but I only helped a bit..."
Kitty was modest. That's a good attribute, though Kitty leaned against the front desk listening to JEan. It was a proble. She knew about it quite a bit and Kitty found herself blinking as she listened to the woman. Ha dthe professor known? She let the woman finish what she was saying before she moved forward and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Maybe your powers are expanding or something? IT's got to be hard, and knowing you you've already talked to the professor..... Maybe it's something else? Are there other symptoms or anything?"
Kitty was trying to help. She couldn't really do more, though she couldn't do less either. Stilll....

"Maybe your powers are expanding or something? IT's got to be hard, and knowing you you've already talked to the professor..... Maybe it's something else? Are there other symptoms or anything?"
Jean stared at the desk, seeing it, but not really looking at it. She searched her mind, thinking of any possible symptoms.
"Yes..." She said slowly, raising her head and staring out across the classroom.
"I have nightmares, horrible nightmares. I see the beginning of everything, the creation of the universe. I see genesis, the birth of a star. And i see death, so many deaths..."
Jean focused her eye's bac on her desk, thinking of more to tell Kitty, thinking that every little bit of input helps, though not really sure why she felt comfortable confiding in the girl. Perhaps she just emanated trustworthiness.
"And when i have a bad nightmare the whole bedroom shakes, and things will fly off the bookshelves, or the dressers. And i can hear everything."
She sighed, looking back at the young woman, smiling weakly.
"Guess i'm not as strong as you thought."

The details were quite important. Kitty knew it well enough. It could have been something that was some sort of health problem, but Kitty didn't know, really. she did know the symptoms now, though. The woman was strong and she wasn't giving herself enough credit. Kitty nodded while JEan described her symptoms and then Kitty lifted her hand to her own head and rubbed it a bit before she bit her bottom lip and moved her lips about while she thought.
"You're much stronger than I thought, really. You symptoms aren't a sign of weakness. I'd say it's likely your powers are trying to expand. From different things I've read that's what happens. The nightmares could mean that you're going to have some sort of second sigh, like premonitions or something, but I don't know for sure. I'm not a specialist or anything...."
She sounded close to one,t hough that was just from her many hours on the computer. She didn't spend that time doing nothing! Kitty smiled at JEan and ran a hand through her hair in thought for the moment. IT could be something important...

Jean nodded in understanding, thinking that Kitty may be on to something. Perhaps her powers were expanding, she might be broadening her verizons without even knowing it. Yet somehow she still found it hard to beleive. How could a good thing make her feel so bad? There was still more to this puzzle, and Jean was determined to find out what, perhaps Xavier would tell her more if she begged, no, begging wasn't something she excelled at. She would need to speak rationally, and express her feelings in a calm dignified manner. Yes, that would work, she would talk to Xavier as soon as she could find him.
"Thank you Kitty, i like knowing your views on thing's such as this, but somehow i don't think thats quite right."
She shook her head, hearing the slight buzz of busy minds floating into her closed head. Jean looked back at Kitty, trying to cover up her mishap.
"I believe that something bad is going to happen, i don't know what, but i am going to find out." She smiled, then put a hand to her forehead, focusing on strengthening her mental guards.
She could feel the push of minds trying to invade hers, but she would not heed their calls, she would overcome them... and she did.

"Like I said, I'm not a specialist, but I'm glad my views might have helped."
She was telling the truth. Kitty didn't really know whether or not she had helped at all. She hoped that she did, but she really assumed it was Jean's powers growing. If she were growing to the point where she was going to have premonitions it really might give her nightmares. As well as give her that feeling of perile. Kitty knew that, but then again it was Jean's body and Kitty didn't know exactly what she was feeling. She never would, really. Kitty wasn't a telepath, and she couldn't do telekenisis. Kitty just phased,a nd she knew that the pain when she had gotten her powers was horrible. She had barely been able to stand it. That didn't apply to everyone. Kitty's eyes watched JEan for a few moments as she remained leaning upon the desk and rubbed her bottom lip in thought.
"There's got to be a way to find out. All you have to do is try, I suppose."
