Chapter 108

I then rushed back into the living room.

"What are you going to do with that?" MJ asked.

"This," I told her, pressing the foil on Jean's head, covering her entire head.

Jean's eyes slowly let up, she started to blink, her breathing slowed down. She looked up, "t-thank you."

I sighed, "no problem." Jean's eyes then went down and suddenly she blushed. I blinked in surprised, "Jean? Are you okay? You're looking red."

"That's because a hot shirtless boy is currently standing over her with his pants unbuttoned," Felicia supplied snarky.

I looked down, I guess I forgot to wear a shirt in all the commotion. I chuckled, "oops," I quickly buttoned up my pants and put on my shirt.

"Oh damn, and I was just getting a good look too," Liz grumbled.

"Hands off Allen, he's mine," Felicia smriekd.

I turned back to Jean, "you okay? Can you still read our minds?"

Jean and the others looked startled.

"W-what do you mean?"Jean asked, "read our minds?"

"Yeah, you know those voices you heard?" she nodded, "those were our thoughts. You're a psychic Jean."

"What?!" Jean cried.

"What?!" Liz, MJ and Felicia replied.

"Yup," I nodded and groaned, "but...where are you from anyway? How did you end up here?"

"What do you mean Peter? She goes with us to school!" MJ cried out.

"She does?" I was surprised, "I've never seen her before."

"Y-yeah, I get that a lot," Jean nodded hanging her head, "people tend to look over me."

This wasn't right. I quickly went through Peter's memories and sure enough Jean was in a few of his classes Freshman Year, but she eventually went to different classes and he never really bothered talking to her, thanks Peter, for being such a fuckign loner.

This was strange though, the Jean Grey I knew was always so...open about everything, confident, proud, maybe it was her youth that made her act so strange. She was tiny, like only 5 feet tall, her shoulders were hunched down making her seem smaller, she reminded me of a little baby bird rather than a soaring phoenix.

I sighed, "damn, sorry about that Jean, I'm kind of a klutz when it comes to social interactions."

"Can we please get back to the psychic thing?! Because I'm really freaking out here!" Liz yelled.

"Yeah Tiger, what do you mean psychic?" Felicia asked.

"Well, I mean she can read minds and move this things with her head," I replied with a shrug, "it was either that or she had cosmic powers, which means nothing I or anyone else on this dimension could do to help her."

"Wait so….she's a mutant?" Liz asked as fear seeped into her voice, the scent of lemon, the scent people gave when afraid, quickly filled the room.

"I'm a mutant?" Jean asked in fear.

"Yeah, you are," I nodded, "and so am I."

"What?!" MJ and Liz asked in surprise while Jean's eye's just went wide.

"Peter, what are you doing?" Felicia hissed.

"It's okay Kitten, I got this," I told Felicia, "I am a mutant, I have a mutated brain, makes me smarter than the average man. Felicia is also a mutant, her hair is almost silver. MJ is also a mutant, heck all redheads are mutants."

"Peter, what are you saying?" MJ asked a little confused.

"I'm saying we all are mutants some way or another, Jean's mutation just happens to be a bit more extreme," I hated mutants being hated by the general public, I won't let Jean face that, "Jean, you're a mutant, but that doesn't mean you still aren't a human. Got that?"

Jean looked at me with wide eyes as she slowly nodded, "y-yeah."

I nodded, "good. Now….lets see what you can do," I grin.

"What?" Jean asked.

"Your powers, I want to see what you can do!" I grinned before stopping, "no, wait, maybe I should make you a proper damper for your powers, you can't just walk around with tin foil on your head, hmm….come with me."

I motioned them to follow and the four girls did. We went down to the basement where I set up my old lab. It got a little bit of an upgrade, a better PC, science tech and a few Spider tech that I hide away under the floorboard, but unfortunately I rarely ever use this place anymore.

I sat down at my work station and quickly began working on something that could help Jean to control her powers.

"Is this your lab?" Jean asked looking around in surprise.

"Yup," I told her.

"I didn't know you had a lab down here Tiger," Felicia sounded sad.

"I don't ever use it any more Kitten, not since I got the Baxter building."

"You really work for the Fantastic Four?! So cool!" Jean said with wide eyes.

"Thanks," I chuckled.

"Wow, even at home you're a nerd," Liz huffed as she sat down on the spare bed we keep down here.

"Well what did you expect? Peter is a nerd," MJ giggled.

"P-Peter, do you think you figure out what's happening to me?" Jean asked.

"Well I'm not really sure Jean," I reply as I took out a hair band and began lining the surface with insulated wires, "you can move things with your mind, your brain can somehow interact with the material world, how I don't know. But I do know it has something to do with waves of energy as that's the only way something like your powers even begin to make sense."

"So what are you going to make?" Felicia asked.

I smiled, "wait and watch."

They did so and in fifteen minutes it was ready. I stood up and sighed, presenting the now wie covered headband that had a small batter attached to it, "here, this should help keep your powers in check."
