Work As Usual

[doctor-jeangrey.livejournal.com]

Jean Grey sat at what she considered her 'desk', looking over the notes she'd jotted down after her last session with Sam. Working as usual. Frowning, she reached up, pressing the fingers of her right hand against her temple. Her head was beginning to throb and she knew that it was because she hadn't ventured far from the med lab and honestly she'd been so wrapped up in taking care of Sam that she'd hardly given herself a thought.

It was better that way though. If she kept busy she wouldn't have to think of... Anything else. Of Scott, the Professor, the school and the students.... And not of Logan either. Busy was good.

Lowering her hand, her eyebrows raised slightly, sensing the presence of one of the crew behind her. "You know," she started, her voice soft - keeping her back to the person in question. "It's not really polite to not announce yourself." She's not scolding - it's more... Like a reminder.

"Even if it's your so-called 'superior officer?" McCoy said, more playfully than anything else. The only time he was going to be a complete hardass around his peers is in the line.

"I figured everyone's fought through the culture shock enough that we should be able to get to know the folks we're going to be working with on a daily basis. My name's Len."

"Uh, I wasn't aware I'd suddenly enlisted...." Jean said as she turned in her chair to get a better look at McCoy.

She did offer him a smile though, she's a nice person. "I think you're right though. I'm Jean," she said, rising to her feet as she introduced herself. "So what do you think of the ship so far?"

She could have just read his mind, but Jean wasn't normally into scanning people's thought too much without their permission.

"I feel a bit like Jonah, and the ship being the inside of a whale." Bones said. "And it's been put forth as a given that everyone needs to have a reason for being. Mine's healing people. What's yours?"

It took Jean a few moments to come up with an answer that she felt made sense. It wasn't exactly easy trying to sum up how one saw their purpose in life.

"Well before I came here, I would have said to prove that different people aren't to be feared, that humans and mutants can live together... And ultimately give other mutants the same help I was given growing up." She paused, shrugging her shoulders. "Now though... I'd have to say it's just to find a way back home."

"That goes without saying." Bones said. "But is that all you're doing? Considering you're working with Sam Winchester, I think not. How's he doing?"

"Well I could hardly just sit around and just let him try to work things out by himself. Someone needed to help him sort things out so he was able to function normally."

She reached up, running her fingers through her hair, ruffling it a bit. "He's doing good. He's making progress - not as fast as he'd like, but that's normal with someone in his position."
