"You're dancing while I'm dying
Laughing when I'm crying
Denying the mess you made...
Your true colours are clashing
This airplane is crashing
It's smashing...
Were you even there?
'Cause I don't think you care
About anyone but yourself, no no no no no"
-"Heart Attack" by Darren Hayes, Spin
The 'Bird's on fire. I can smell it and I can see it falling to pieces around us. My head...My head feels all fuzzy. Like I got cotton balls stuck in there. Everything looks like its going in slow motion an' I'm trying to move through molasses. There's Jeannie, my Pheonix fire near the controls, hunks of the bird falling down around her ...She's cryin her eyes out. I gotta try an focus t' see why, but I think I know. Ole one eye, he's long gone. He was the first to go. I don't even know how it happen, he was there and then he wasn't.
I still can't hear anything, all I can do is see. I don't know if thats cus of damage done or not. Can't even hear the flames cracklin around us, its all silent. Its all surreal. If the hairs on my arms weren't singed I would swear I was dreamin. Rogue, she's tryin to protect Remy in the back but things ain't looking good. They're huddled in the back of the plane behind the seats. He's kinda sprawled in her lap and she...she's bawlin. I think its the first time I've ever seen Rogue cry like that. It ain't a pretty sight.
Jubilee, she's the only other one we need to look for. Nightcrawler, he took him outta here. But my Jubilation, I can't see her. Looking back at Jeannie I know we gotta do something an fast. The Bird, she's going down hard and theres nothin we can do t' stop it. I crawl, hands and knees through the hell thats taken over and grab her arm
"C'mon, lets go" I say gruffly, pulling her towards the back of the cabin and the doors. She's crying and I can read her lips. She doesn't wanna leave Cyc behind, "We gotta darlin. He's already dead. Sides, he'd want you to live" I can feel blood trickling down the side of my face from a cut I can feel healing already. He took us, me, Cyke an Gambit out first cus he can't get through those shields we got up. I don't think he expected me to wake up befor' the plane hit the ground. Jeannie, he locked her up tigher n' a drum. Same with th' rest. Rogue, she can't do nothing.
Someone grabs my other arm and I turn to meet bright blue eyes with my own. Its my Jubilation. Lord, how can you make this so hard. Those indigo eyes, those trusting indigo eyes. I can't save both of em. Can't save Jean and Jubes. I can jump out with one, take the impact and regenerate so that they live, but I can't take both. Lordy, I can't. An I'm the only one with any power left. If I leave em, noone 'll get out.
Jesus Chuck, but you fucked us up good. I gotta let one of em go. An I know which it has to be. You gotta have a telepath to fight a telepath. Damn you Chuck. How could you do it to me again.
Pulling my firecracker to me I whisper in her ear. I tell her its ok, tell her she'll be alright and how much I love her. Tell her how much I always loved her and that she better be waiting for me when my time comes. And then, while she's sobbin and hangin on, like I'm gonna save her I slid those three claws between her ribs and stop her heart. She goes quickly, just a jerk and then she slumps against me, her life going out of her in a breath. God, why couldn't it have been me.
Turning back to Jeannie I see her horrified look but there's no time for explanations as I grab her arm and drag her back to where Rogue and Gambit are. Looking down at Rogue I see the fear in her eyes as I lean down and jerk her up, "Let Carol take over" I order and her eyes widen. Noones ever told her to let loose with another's personality before. I know they're rollin around in there. I know somewhere down there Ms. Marvel is itchin to take over and lordy knows we need her survival instincts right now, "Do it darlin" I repeat softer and she nods, willing to believe in me even though she sees the blood on my clothes. She looks like she's lookin off in the distance and then her eyes roll back in her head. In a moment she blinks an I can see that poise and stature take over. Looking down she gathers Gambit in her arms, tossing off Chuck's mental shackles like they were never there and puts a booted foot through the Blackbird's door, opening it up to blissful freedom.
Grabbing Jean into my arms I look out and down at the fast approaching ground. We're around 100 feet above ground. Damn this is gonna hurt. Holding her tight to me I look at Carol grimly before leaping into the blue sky before me. Say a prayer darlin, lets hope this works. Tucking I flip onto my back, her tightly held in my arms, pressed close to my body to protect her. I see Carol flyin by me and then tumbling down towards the ground below. Looks like she can't control all those powers like she used ta. Just a few feet till the ground. I hear an explosion as the Bird his the ground and feel the heat of jet fuel as it surrounds us. I can feel Jeannie screaming and then I hit the ground and it all goes black. Maybe this is finally the end.
