Jean pulled her glasses off and pinched the bridge of her nose. She was getting nowhere fast. She knew that when she hit a dead end like this she should just step away, find something else to do, and an answer or at least a different option would come to her. But she was starting to take this personally. With a growl of frustration she put the clipboard down next to her glasses and turned. She wasn't leaving, she refused to give up. She was going to get some ibuprofen and push through.
She hadn't exactly dressed for a day in the med lab. She HAD been planning on maybe going outside for a bit. So she had slipped on a pair of light jeans and a black short sleeved shirt. The collar left down, and buttoned up to the last three. It had looked like a nice day out, and had been looking forward to a walk in the breeze. Her tennis shoes were beat up, but would suffice if she ever made it to the woods for a hike. Swallowing the pills dry she sighed and rubbed at the back of her neck. She'd get to her walk, as soon as she found the answer she was looking for.

Rogue entered the room, dressed casually as well. "Hi Jean." She said and smiled. "Whatcha up to?"
She leaned against a nearby walls and surveyed the clibboards and medication. "Bad day?"

Jean let her hand drop and smiled. "You could say that. Kind of suckered myself into it though. Thought I would just finish this ONE thing, and then take the rest of the day off. What are you up to today?" She asked as she moved back over to the computer and clipboard.

"Ah been online looking at schools - colleges. Ah been thinking Ah'd like to finish mah law degree. Maybe between saving the world, take a couple courses. Ah can't be an X-man forever. Ah'd like to have a job when Ah get to old to fight the good fight." Rogue smiled brightly at Jean. "Hey you want to take a walk somewhere? Ah hear there's a good store in town."
She raised a gloved hand and motioned to the desk and papers. "Unless ya'll having way to much fun here."

Kitty walked into the lab room and saw her teammates, Jean an Rouge, talking. "Do I need to leave" she asked the two girls? Kitty looked at all the papers on the table and the bottle of medicine. "So, who is sick" Kitty ask them as her gaze left the bottle and went to her two friends.

"Ah really am not sure, cat." Rogue said, smiling in greeting. "Jean's been a working on somethin' and Ah was just trying to convince her to take a break."
Rogue glanced over Kitty. "Ya'll are welcome to come if Jean is too busy. Ah wanna go shopping. Got a day off of saving the world and Ah'm gonna be a normal gal and use it for buying clothes and books and other frivalous things."

"I'll go" Kitty said as she listened to Rouge's answer. "I need a day off and Professor said that I was welcome to take the day off if I needed to. But, I felt like I was the only one that would be taking the day off so I just told him that I would think about it and left." Kitty finally took a breath after all she had said. "So, which mall shall we go to" Kitty asked the two girls?

"Personally, if we are a gonna do this - let's go big. Anything worth doing is worth doing well, right?" Rogue smiled at Jean. She looked at down at Jean's computer. "It'll keep, Jean."
She turned back to Kitty. "See if ya can convince her. Ah'll go get ready. Be back in five."
She disappeared from the room.

"Right" Kitty said as she saw the young girl leave the room. "So, Jean, how are thing" Kitty asked? "You are going aren't you?" Kitty looked at the girl sitting in a chair by the computer. "Come on. You know you want to."

A few minutes later, Rogue returned. She put some hoops in her ears and found a more beautiful, less comfortable pair of gloves. She carried her battered brown jacket on her shoulder.
"Howdy gals. Ya'll made up your minds?" She smiled. She knew that the moment, they stepped out the door, there would be some kind of crisis. They had to get going before they'd have to give up the idea and go save the world.
It wasn't too bad a thing - being a superhero, but it did cut into any other kind of life. Still, it was the only life worth living.

Kitty smiled at the girl that had just entered the room. "I am" she said as she looked over to Jean. "How about you?" Kitty asked the girl.

NPC is Kitty
Kitty snapped her fingers, smiling apologetically at the two women. "Drat. Oh I'm sorry guys, I have a paper I have to get ready. Another time maybe..." She smiled brightly and headed out of the room.

"Well, Jean..." Rogue shrugged. "Let's just re-schedule. Good luck with your work."
Rogue wondered if the telepath's silence was her secretly wishing to be left alone. She tightened her grip on her favorite jacket. She had never had a great relationship with Jean and had hoped this excursion would help that.
"See ya later, sugah." Rogue said. She headed to the Dangerroom, hearing someone inside.
A few second later, she'd changed into her uniform and entered the training room.
