Normal P.O.V

The professor was completely baffled by this predicament.

By now jean wasn't controlling her powers, her powers were controlling her. She wasn't herself and no one was sure whether she would return to her own self again. There were a series of psychic blasts that emanated from her that destroyed not only the warehouse but the places surrounding it. Jean was on a complete rampage. She destroyed almost everything in her immediate surrounding and all the debris started floating in mid air. All tried using their powers to bring her under control, but all their attempts were in vain. So they did what intelligent people do at this moment! Hide themselves from her till they come up with some brilliant strategy.

"it was my fault! I should have predicted something like this would happen. I should have prepared her for this situation.", professor said. Logan and storm both tried to convince him that it wasn't his fault and that everything would be ok, the usual stuff to console a person. Hearing this scott's temper snapped and he said" you two possibly think everything would be ok? Well I have got news for you guys! Just standing here discussing about this isn't gonna help."

"professor! Please tell me she will be ok!", scott said in a melancholic tone. Hearing his words the professor couldn't just say no to him. He knew then what must be done!

" I will do anything to save her! Anything!", said scott.

"alright! I will tell you one final task! But you must not say no to it as it is the only way to stop her! By now her powers would have reached critical maximum. But her evolution isn't complete yet! When it gets complete she will no longer be able to remember who she really was"

"Logan and the others can keep her engaged in battle. Scott you have to be brave enough for this! I know how precious she is to you but you have to hit her with your most powerful optic blast", said professor. Scott's face immediately fell to its worst possible state. He refused to do it but had to give in because it was the only way to stop her.

And so the plan was set. All the others under Logan's command were engaged in handling her to divert jean's attention. The professor's plan worked. Jean was in such a confused state that she didn't know who her friends and enemies were. She charged at everyone immediately. While all this was happening scott was getting ready to complete his task.

The professor signalled him to get going. He obeyed and was standing with him facing her back.

"jean!", he called out and she turned around to face him."I am sorry", he said and let out his most powerful optic blast that hit her straight at her abdomen.

With a heavy heart scott closed his eyes and was sobbing uncontrollably. Jean faltered and was falling towards the ground while Logan caught her safe and sound. Time seemed to have frozen for a while. No one moved and neither of them spoke a word before scott cried out her name. and it started raining as well. It seemed even the almighty up there was shedding his tears for such a loss. Scott got near her and noticed the ring still intact around her middle finger. Of all the things he could have done he had to be the one to kill her. With his own hands.

Immediately beast had come with all necessary equipment and continued examining her. suddenly he let out a certain yelp. It seemed that he had finally seen a ray of hope to bring her back! The professor broke this news to everyone and all were very happy hearing this.

Beast said" however! She is currently in a coma and hasn't regained her consciousness yet. But I assure you that our jean is very much alive! After all scott was the one who hit her, how possibly can she lose her life that way! Hmm!". He said this and faced scott whose face showed so much relief after hearing his words. He immediately went forward and hugged Beast and thanked him for having saved her." ah ah ah! It was you who saved her scott! Only because of you is she still breathing", beast said and left him.

the explosion in the warehouse did attract attention from the local police. but since it was abandoned and was on the outskirts the people had to believe in the fact that some outdated fireworks could have caused it. luckily no civilians were involved and so the police decided to drop further investigation...

After a month…..

Jean still hasn't revived from her coma yet. Beast does regular checkups to monitor her heart rate, her pulse, her brain activity, etc…. he says that she is bound to take her own time since she has gone through enough action all in one day.

Seeking answers to several questions scott goes to meet the professor in his room.

"professor I know that you were aware of jean's powers and that this was supposed to happen! Why did you keep me at the dark about this? I deserved to know, didn't i?", scott asked.

"it was a rainy day when I had gone to the grey residence with magneto 10 years ago", the professor began explaining." You and magneto? You mean he was not our enemy then?", scott asked rather surprised.

"yes, magnus and I were acquaintances not friends to be precise. Magnus was astonished with the way the girl can establish movements of inanimate objects with only the assistance of her mind. She was able to do it whenever she wanted and because of this her parents were scared. Luckily cerebro had detected her presence the moment her powers manifested. All this happened even before cerebro detected your presence. We had gone there and could see the fear and concern her parents had about her. it seemed that her powers had manifested due to the shock of losing her childhood friend in front of her own eyes. She was involved in an accident and jean couldn't do anything about it. Right then I realised that she had so much potential! And I also feared that this could endanger her own life. That is why I had to keep her powers at bay. She herself didn't know about this because I feared for her safety. So I decided to keep it a secret from everyone. I can realise if you hate me because of this scott. And I am really sorry", scott has never seen the professor shed even a single tear in front of him from the moment he joined the institute.

But that day he saw him crying uncontrollably. He immediately got up and hugged him and said" jean will be ok professor. I know she will be. I have hopes and I don't intend on giving up on her just yet"…
