The government had kept them in the dark about this weapons development, and that bothered her more than anything. She believed Charles Xavier had enough influence that they might have at least asked his opinion on the matter. It all only served to give Magneto justification for his war on humans. Not that he needed any more than he already felt he had, but this could sway unsigned mutants to join his cause as well.<br/><br/>At Ororo’s words, Jean gave her a light nod of thanks and understanding. They had been friends a long time and they were usually on the same page about things. When Logan showed up, she became a bit uncomfortable but tried not to show it. She had been close to this timeline’s Wolverine and losing him had been traumatic enough. But to have an older version of him suddenly show up not too long after made things awkward for her. Not to mention that in his reality she was dead also. It felt like they weren’t supposed to be around each other, not that she cared much for what fate decided. Still, it was difficult to just be around him and act like nothing was different. She did, however, agree with him that they couldn’t just sit around and do nothing.<br/><br/>Not wanting to get in the middle of Gambit and Colossus’ argument, since she wasn’t there when Salvation arrived, Jean’s attention was drawn back to Xavier as the founder of the X-Men began to talk. She found it disturbing that even he could not read Salvation’s mind. When the man brought Yolande to the school grounds, Jean had not even sensed it, and now she knew why. The suit was built to be resistant to psychic probes. She continued to listen to Xavier and nodded silently as he spoke. She agreed with him in finding a peaceful solution, but part of her doubted the government would listen.<br/><br/><strong>“The government has tried that approach before, with mutant mercenaries for example. It worked for a time, but we all know that they just have them serve the government’s needs first, not all of mutantkind.”</strong>Jean said, not that she was trying to disagree with her mentor but wanting to make sure that this attempt at negotiation wouldn’t end up being the same as with those groups that came before.<strong>“I agree that negotiation is our best option right now. However, I feel it would have to be a partnership. We can’t be completely in their hands or else we will be rushing blind into conflicts that may go against what we stand for.”</strong><br/><br/>Jean would like to be able to help mutants like Yolande come into the fold under less stressful situations. If these young mutants could see others like them coming to them, who understand their situation, they could come in willingly, rather than be wrangled like wild animals and thrown in here like it was a pound. It was a good idea from the Professor’s part, and resonated with the way they recruited the first X-Men, which she fully supported. If the government planned on making enemies of all mutants, perhaps then the only choice was to fight, which Jean knew would break Xavier's heart. After all, he had worked so hard to try and attain peace and tolerance for their people.
