Chapter 3 What Happened and who am I?
Jean POV
I sat up and looked around confused. Where am I? Everything here was covered in ash and rubble. I coughed a little and I tried to stand up. I wobbled a little and tried to steady myself, but it was hard since everything was burned down. After I got my balance I tried to figure out what happened but nothing came to me. I tried to think back all the way to the last thing I could remember but nothing came to me. As a matter of fact, I don't even remember who I am. Okay, this isn't good. I walked around and coughed a little bit more. I saw a something glint in the sun light and I walked over to it. It turned out to be a broken piece of glass. I looked at my reflection and took in my appearance.
I had long red hair and black eyes. My hair was ruffled and had some ash in it, but otherwise was very pretty. I had pale skin, though that was covered in ash as well. I looked at my outfit strangely. I had on a black suit with a green triangle going downwards and a black head piece on my head. I stretched my hand outwards to touch the glass, but it trembled and lifted from the ground. I dropped my hand and the glass dropped too. What the heck?! What was I? I had to go somewhere but I can't go anywhere with this on!
I walked over to a bush and pulled off the suit. To my relief I had on a black tank top with matching shorts on underneath and black ballet flats. I pulled off the headpiece and hide them in the bush. I stepped out and was glad the weather was nice for my attire. I walked around for a while and came upon a small town of some sorts.
I walked on the highway towards the town when I heard honking. I turned around and saw a car heading towards me. It pulled up beside me and the driver rolled down the window. When they did my head started to hurt and voice filled my head.
That couldn't possibly be her! She's supposed to be dead, a female thought. I didn't know how these thoughts got in my head, but I knew I wanted them out. Now! I clutched my head in pain and cried out.
Oh my God! What is wrong with her, the woman thought.
Like we better get her to a hospital, thought a younger girl. Ugh, why won't it stop! I closed my eyes in an attempt to calm myself, though it didn't really help.
"Dr. Grey? Dr. Grey can you hear me" a woman asked. Dr. Grey?
"Whose Dr. Grey" I asked confused.
"Oh no. She must have amnesia" she said "Jessica call the hospital and Lec" Lec. Why does that sound familiar? Do I know a Lec? I couldn't, I mean I don't even know who I am!
"Here, let me help you" said a man. I found myself being lifted and being put down on something somewhat comfortable. I opened my eyes and squinted looking at the area around me. I was in a car with a family, who were staring at me.
I hope she's okay
We'd better hurry and get her to a hospital
Like Lec is gonna flip when I tell her. Ugh, I don't care who this Lec is as long as she can make these voices and pain in my head stop.
I felt the car stop from under me and I opened my eyes, not even realizing I had closed them.
"Hey, Dr. Grey? You okay" I turned to the younger girl with brown hair who spoke and stared at her confused.
"Who is Dr. Grey" I asked exhausted
"Uhhh… you are" she said "Dr. Jean Grey"
"Jessica, I told you she has amnesia" the older woman scolded "I mean she doesn't even appear to remember Scott or Lec" Scott? Lec? Who are they talking about?!
"Let's get her inside" said the man. I was lifted again and they took me inside somewhere. Where ever they took me, I heard a lot of gasps and whispers.
"Mrs. Stanley?! Is that really her" asked another man "I thought she was supposed to be dead" What a minute?! I'm supposed to be dead! What is going on?
"What… what is going on" I stuttered
"What-"
"She has amnesia Dr. Gerandy. She doesn't remember anyone. Not even herself" the older woman explained.
"Hmmm… Nurse Wayne will take you to her room and I'll call Dr. Cullen" the doctor said
"He's most likely on the way. I had Jessica call Lec" the older woman said
"Well let's hope so" he said. They must have carried me to the room because I was set down on a bed. I opened my eyes again and took in the scene. There were bright lights and a lot of people working around me. I sat up and looked up at the family that drove me here. Then the nurse tapped me on my shoulder.
"Are you alright" she asked
"I'll take it from here, Nurse Wayne" We looked towards the door and saw a man in a white doctors' coat in the door way. He was inhumanly handsome. He had blonde hair and golden eyes. "If you all would be please step outside"
He ushered them out the room and closed the behind them. After they were all gone he let out a deep sigh and turned towards me.
"Are you alright" he asked
"No. My-my head hurts" I said. I decided to leave out the part where I hear voices in my head so that way I won't look like a lunatic.
"Okay, here's some Tylenol. I think that should help" he said
"Who are you" I asked
"My name I Carlisle Cullen. I'm a doctor here. And so are you… well you used to" he said
"Who am I" I asked
"Your name is Jean Grey-Summers" he said quietly
"Summers? But they just called me Dr. Grey" I asked confused
"Yes, because to the public you're Jean Grey. Though in truth you're married" he said
"To who"
"A man named Scott Summers" he said
"Is he here" I asked looking around
"No, he should be here any moment. They were very excited to hear that you were being brought here" he smiled
"They"
"Yes. When you don't work at the hospital, you're a teacher at the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning" he said "So the residents who are there currently will be very pleased"
"And' I pressed
"And you're a mother. Of twins" he admitted sheepishly "Bella and Lec"
"Wait a minute. Lec? Is that she the one that girl had called"
"Yes. And that was Jessica with her parents" he explained "How's your head"
"Fine, except-"
"Except what" he asked. Oh well, I have amnesia so maybe they won't think I'm that much of a lunatic.
"Except I hear voices in my head" I whispered. I looked at him intently and he just thought about it for a minute or two.
"I'll tell Bella and Lec. Maybe they'll be able to stop it" he said
"Wait a minute! I just told you I hear voices in my head and you say my twins can fix it" I demanded.
"Yes ummm… the things is. You're a mutant and so are the twins and Scott. Truthfully everyone at the Xavier institute are mutants" he said
"Are you a mutant"
"Err… no" he hesitated
"So what are you"
"Ummm, you see my family and I- you have to promise me you won't panic"
"O-kay. I promise not to panic"
"My family and I are vampires" he said. I felt my jaw drop and he chuckled shakily.
"You and your family are… vampires" I said finally
"yes"
"Okay. I didn't see that one coming" I admitted and he laughed. "So, me and my family are mutants. Along with everyone at this Xavier Institute. And you and your family are vampires"
"Yes that's right" he said "are you okay"
"Well, other than the pain in my head… I'm fine" I admitted, which was true. Other than the fact that voices were in my head. But apparently, that's normal for me.
"well, good. The others should be here any minute know" he smiled
"So, Carlisle" he turned to me and smiled. I think he was glad that I had remembered his name "Tell me about the others"
"Well. Who do you want me to tell you about" he asked
"How about Bella and Lec. Tell me what my daughters are like"
"Well since you and Scott aren't married publicly, so Bella and Lec aren't publicly your twins" he said "Don't worry, the chief of Police is posing as their father so they're in safe hands"
"Is he a mutant"
"No. Charlie is human" he said
"Isn't that dangerous" I asked worriedly
"No not really, since Logan works at the police station with him" he shrugged
"Logan's a mutant" I said stating the obvious
"Yes he is" he said
"Okay, so I still want to know about them"
"I thought you would" he smiled "they're very different, but yet alike in very different ways"
"How so"
"Well Bella for instance is more mature and an excellent leader. While Lec is more emotional and outgoing. But both are exceptional students, team mates, adventurous, and protective" he explained
"They sound amazing" I said in admiration
"They are" I turned to the door to see two men and a woman. One man had brown hair and red visors, while the other had bluish-black hair and brown eyes. The woman had caramel color hair and golden eyes. She must be a part of Carlisle's family.
"Scott, don't she um, she has amnesia" Carlisle said
"What? But, how" asked the man in the red visors. I believe Carlisle called him Scott. So he's my husband. He seemed like a really great guy.
"I'm not sure. That's why I was going to take her to the professor" Carlisle told him.
"Oh you poor thing" the woman said sitting next to me on the bed "My name is Esme Cullen. I'm Carlisle's wife"
"It's nice to meet you" I smiled
"I brought you an outfit to go home in" she said handing me a new outfit
"Thank you, Esme" I said hugging her
"So she doesn't remember anything at all" Scott asked Carlisle
"Nothing at all" Carlisle said
"So that means she doesn't remember that I totaled her car five years ago" said the other man. Wait a minute…
"You totaled my car" I screamed
"Logan" Esme scolded
"What?! It was five years ago" the man, Logan, said "I had too many beers and it was a late night… it was the Cajun's fault"
"Stop blaming things on Remy, Logan" she contradicted
"Well it is" he grumbled and I giggled.
"Anyways, she doesn't remember anything at all. Though she is starting to learn things quickly" Carlisle said
"That's good. So can we take her back to the Mansion" Scott asked
"That would be best" Carlisle said
"Why don't you get dressed and then we can leave" Esme told me. I nodded and headed for the bathroom. I hurried up and got changed so I could hurry up to get back to Scott. I looked myself in the mirror and smiled. My hair was now smoothed back into a ponytail and my face was clear of ash. I wore a rose colored t-shirt with blue skinny jean and the same black ballet flats from before.
I walked back outside and everyone turned to smile at me. I smiled back at them and really wished they stop. It was nice, but it made me feel uncomfortable.
"Ready to go" asked Esme
"Yes please" I said
"Okay, you can ride with Scott and Logan will ride back with me and Carlisle" she said
"Do I have to! I won't total anyone's car" Logan whined and I had to admit, it was pretty funny.
"Yes you do, now let's go" she said. He sighed and hung his head walking to the door.
"Is he always like this" I asked giggling
"Yup" Scott told me
"I heard that, bub" he yelled and I laughed even harder.
"Come on" Scott said and he lead me out to his car.
The car ride was quiet, mostly because I was a sleep. What can I say? Today took a lot of energy. I felt Scott nudge me to wake up and I yawned.
"Somebody's sleepy" he joked
"You would be too if you woke up with amnesia then find out you're a mom, wife and a mutant. Then we'll talk" I said and he laughed.
"whatever you say" he said
"Ummm… Scott"
"Yes" I hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to ask him this.
"Well, it was something that I heard the family that took me to the hospital say" I said staring at my hands.
"The Stanley's? What about them" he asked confused
"Ummm… well they were talking to a doctor, and they said I was supposed to be dead" I said. I looked up at Scott but he didn't look at me "Did I die"
"Yes" he whispered
"But how am I still here" I asked
"I don't know" he whispered still not looking at me
"How long was I … you know… dead"
"Two months" he choked out. What? I was supposedly dead for two months?!
"But how is that possible" I asked
"I don't know. But it doesn't matter. You're here now and that's what matters" he said looking at me. I looked at him and smiled wearily. "We're here"
I looked in front at me and gasped. I heard Scot chuckle but I didn't pay attention to him. It was beautiful. It was red, black and white. Not to mention that it was enormous.
"Jean calm down. It's suppose to be a boarding school, remember" Scott told me. I nodded vaguely still too stunned to say anything. We pulled in to the garage and I gaped. It was so big that someone could move in here.
It had several door that had a nameplate above it. I looked around all of them and was surprised to see my name over one of the doors.
"My name is here" I said
"Yes. You did live here after all" he chuckled. I poked my tongue out at him and he smiled. I looked around the garage and then did a double take. Now instead of it just being me and Scott, there was now a man in a wheelchair, a girl with blonde hair, and a woman with white hair. Both girls were smiling ear to ear at me so I smiled back.
"Hello. My name is Professor Charles Xavier. This is Ororoe Munroe and Lec Summers" he introduced.
"Hi" I said. Then I realize that he said Lec and Carlisle said that one of my twins was Lec. I stared at her for a while and she stared back smiling. Then I realized that he didn't mention Bella. "Where's Bella"
They looked at each other hesitantly before Scott nodded his head. They went into a detailed explanation about what happened the two months that I disappeared and came back. When they were finished I was downright mad.
"You yelled at her" I demanded. They looked at each other hesitantly unsure of what to say. "Well"
"We were worried-"
"I don't care if you were worried! That gave you no right to yell at her" I snapped
"Jean please listen. We've seen what happened through you. We've almost lost you to it several times. We didn't want the same to happen to her" Ororoe said
"Well from what I've heard Bella is nothing like me at all. And from others observation I think they can say the same" I said "Where is she"
"In her room asleep" Lec said looking down at her hands. I had a feeling there was something else behind what she had told me but didn't bother. I walked past them and out of the garage.
"Where are you going" Scott called after me
"I'm going to see my daughter" I said. Then realizing some of the truth in my words I turned around and walked over to Lec. I kissed her forehead and hugged her.
"I love you" I told her. I pulled away and saw her smiling up at me.
"Love you too" I smiled then walked away again, preparing to settle this argument once and for all.
Aha! I did NOT kill off Jean Grey! It is only the beginning for the young Jean. muahahahaha! now stop trying to come after me with pitchforks, torches and anything else that cam be used to kill me!
