Disclaimer : Jean Grey (aka Phoenix) belongs to Marvel and I make no money off of this, just borrowing her for a bit. Part of the first line is from Metallica's "No Leaf Clover".

"Where is the soothing light at the end of the tunnel?" a voice in the dark "Don't fucking ask me, I don't know."

Jean had been asking herself that question all day and had been giving herself the same answer. Well at least she assumed it'd been all day, she didn't really have a sense of time anymore. No clocks around here. Why wasn't there ever an easy answer? She would have sighed if she had the lungs with which to do so. Things always had to be so damn difficult. Sometimes this whole dying to be reborn again thing could get a bit tedious; all she really wanted was some time for herself. Rebuilding alternate timelines, saving galaxies, burning away what doesn't work … yadda yadda yadda. She was the Phoenix, child of light and darkness, a veritable goddess! She should be above such mortal coils as vulgar language and impatience.

"Damn it ! There goes another time-line."
