[voice] and you can't hold me down / 'cause i belong to the hurricane

[It's Jean but not Jean: for those few here who know her, her voice sounds deeper. Sensual. More reckless, somehow.]

Anyone wanna help me get off this island? I'll make it worth your while.

[You know... it's pretty bad when the woman in your dreams starts talking outside of your head. Or maybe he was still dreaming?]

[Only he was doing some work, and very much not asleep. Honestly, he's almost willing to wait and see if anyone ELSE say something to this before he does, because... ah... crap]

[Doesn't matter if it's lower or more reckless. It's still the voice he knows well. Before he can help himself...]

Jean?

[It takes her a while to answer, and when she does it's guarded]

Logan.

[Yeah, thanks for the wait... he stood there forever waiting to see if he was crazy or not. He's still not sure, once she does say his name. Though it sent a chill down his spine]

Jean! Where are you? How long have you been here? [What's the last thing you rememb--no] Are you alright?

Well. I'm alive.

[ouch.]

[Well, that said a lot.]

[damn. He's silent for a bit longer then he meant to. He's also a bit used to the snippy 'alive' or 'not' comments, but not from someone in the books. Shit. He has no idea what to say...]

I ... I'm glad to hear it. [omg wtf Logan. Glad to hear it? It's your fault she died. Idiot. He's at such a loss.]

You don't sound so glad.

Depends on how you feel about me, sweetheart. Or how insane I'm currently going...

[sighs. Damn this was going to be bad, huh.] We can get you off that island.

'We'?

Crew I'm with. I've... been here a while. Good bunch of people.

These other people offering to help... they're part of your crew?

They are. The Spades. [he held the word Pirates out for a moment] We've got a couple of ships and some room. If not you can have my space.

What did you do, Logan, tell them to welcome me with open arms? So you could keep an eye on me? So you could control me?

Jean, honey, I didn't tell them anything. They just saw you needed a hand and offered. That's the type of people they are. I don't want to control you. Never did, and you know that. I'm... It's just... you're the last person I ever thought I'd get to see again.

[A bitter laugh, because yeah, why would that be, Logan?]

I'm not here for you.

[Yeah, gotta watch what the hell he says, huh.]

You aint here because you wanna be either. At least you know me.

You're right about that.

[This is like, the worst idea, isnt it? But he knows this crew, and there are people here who could handle her better then even he could.]

So, ya scared of me now, or just pissed still? Because I only did what ya asked. It's haunted me for years now, Jean. If you take any comfort in that at all, then good. I wont mess with you. Come to the Sun.
