Chapter 14
Several days had passed and Marie was still in a coma, Remy never left her side. Xavier was doing his best to bring her out as fast as he could, safely. Today was a particular day where Logan would interrogate Carol, who was being held in a containment unit down the hall from the Danger Room. She wasn't particularly happy at how she was being treated.
As Logan interrogated the angry blond, Jean, Scott, and Xavier were having a meeting with the usual X-men team about the past occurrences. The whole team was in attendance except for Logan. They held it in the Medical bay, because Remy refused to leave Marie's side. The first question was asked by Bobby.
"So how were all of you able to come back?" His face had confused written all over it.
"I have a theory." Jean spoke up. "I believe it's because of me." She gained several confused expressions from the team. "As you all know from the legend of the Phoenix, the Phoenix Force can heal and resurrect. The Phoenix Force allowed me to be, in a sense, reborn, as well as Scott. But I'm not certain about Professor Xavier." She explained, and then turned to the Xavier.
"I honestly don't know myself. As Jean explained earlier, we never were able to create a mental bond. Thus, we don't know what caused me to be able to come back." He placed a hand on his chin and thought for a bit. "It may have been the Phoenix Force or something else. All I remember is waking up and seeing Moira."
"And what about when Jean," Kitty spoke up then paused. "Changed?"
Several team members looked over at Jean hoping for an explanation.
"That time I only remember when I was myself. Otherwise it's a blur. I don't know exactly what happened." The red head told.
Charles spoke up after that. "The Phoenix Force at that point was able to create a personality of its own. It was able to control Jean's actions while Jean herself was, in a way, asleep. Now, she has complete control. I can sense no forms of hostility from the Phoenix within her."
The room was silent after that. No one dared to speak against Xavier. Logan entered the room, a scowl deeply implanted in his facile features. The group looked over to him, wondering what happened with Carol.
"Liar, that's all she would say. Nothing more." Logan crossed his arms and leaned against the wall behind him.
Xavier nodded. "Alright, now if you excuse me, I need to have a session with Marie." He turned towards Remy, "I'm getting close, and she'll wake up soon. I promise."
Xavier moved his chair over to be by Marie's head. He placed his hands just above her head and began his work. Remy held on to her hand during the whole process. Several hours passed when Xavier lifted his hands. He sighed and rubbed his eyes. He moved his chair over beside Remy and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"I'm going to need a little more time, but we'll get there." He moved his chair out of the room, leaving Remy alone.

Remy woke up in the middle of the night in an uncomfortable position on his chair. He straightened himself out and popped his neck. He stood up and looked at Marie. Gently stroking her cheek with the back of his hand he walked to the door. He rubbed the back of his neck, trying to remove the ach. He froze when he heard a groan come from behind him. He turned and saw Marie sitting up and holding her head. He rushed over and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Relax, cherè. You need t' rest."
"With how I feel, I think I've had enough sleep to last me a week." She rubbed her head some more. "Why do I feel like someone has been tampering with my mind?"
The door opened and Charles Xavier entered. "Because someone has. I must say, I expected it to be longer before you woke up."
Marie's eyes widened. Remy remembered that Xavier came back after Marie was in a coma. She shifted her body so that she could get off the bed she was on. Grabbing the rail beside her she forced herself up on shaky legs. She took one step and collapsed into Remy's arms. Xavier moved over and placed a hand on Marie's shoulder.
"You must rest. I know it's hard, considering you've been asleep for several days." Xavier explained. "You will be up and moving soon."
Marie looked at the professor. "What happened to Carol?"
"She's currently in a containments cell. We are trying to learn her reasoning's for her attack, but all she will say is liar." Charles placed a hand on his chin in deep thought.
"I need to speak to her." She forced herself back up and started to walk with unsteady legs.
Remy stayed by her side and provided a support for her. "Remy don' t'ink t'at a good idea."
"I have to speak to her. I have to help her understand." She struggled to walk to the door. With Remy's help and Professor Xavier close by, they made their way to where Carol was held.
They entered the containment room where Carol was. She was surrounded by what looked like glowing glass. The glow came from an energy field that held her in. She sat on her cell bed with a deep scowl on her face. She still spoke the same word ever since she was imprisoned there.
"Liar, liar, liar." Her lips moved automatically.
"Carol." Marie spoke as she placed a hand on the cell.
Carol's head jumped up. She quickly stood up and slammed her palm against the barrier. Her glare was one to make a thirteen year-old boy to need a change of pants. Marie stood strong and never left eye contact.
"Whatever was taken, you took from me." The blonde's glare increased.
