Prologue:
Jean watched as the phoenix caused havoc she tried to fight, tried to build up the walls that had been knocked down but she was weak. She was watching as the phoenix killed human after human, mutant after mutant.
Everyone was running away from her all but one the forever stubborn Logan was trekking his way towards her and the phoenix, layers of skin tearing off then growing back. Jean couldn t help it she broke into tears she had become a monster.
She let her mind wonder back to Scott only making her cry harder, then the image of the professor dying come into her mind and the tears were flooding out. She was abruptly pulled out of her mind by hands grabbing her at the side.
Would you die for them? Jean hears the phoenix say to Logan. His eyes started to brim with tears but Jean knew Logan didn t cry.
"Not for them, for you!" Logan says. Jean could see the tears threatening to spill. She didn t want it to end like this; it wasn t meant to be sad.
"Kill me" Jean whispered only wishing Logan could hear her. She looked into his face hoping he would. When it showed confusion she said it louder "Kill me" Suddenly Logan s claws stuck through her stomach, the last thing Jean heard was "From the ashes the Phoenix rises"
