AN OK, WHO ARE THIS STORY'S FOLLOWERS? If that's you then… thanks. If so, then please let me know. I've done like… two shoutouts for the same person. And yes, Stryker is dead for good. Unlike this chapter's first protagonist (or antagonist, darn the complex continuity of all things X-Men!).

The world was no longer all white. Warren reached out a hand to his back, his wings were back… somewhat. They felt like steel and mechanical and it was wrong. He was in some kind of monastery, a church. There were statues of Apocalypse everywhere. He looked at the floor, he was standing a few feet from a small puddle. He headed over to it and checked his reflection. He roared in agony at his blue skin and purple eyes. He was in some kind of battle armour. No, that was it. He was out. He bolted to a large window and took flight with his new wings. He crashed through and was met with a brick wall. "NO!" He yelled loudly.
"My child, why do you wish to flee? My Archangel?" It was Apocalypse, standing two metres tall.

Anna didn't say a word on the jet back to school. Anna didn't say a word for months after getting back. Anna didn't say a word through their end of year exams or any and all detentions put in her way. Anna didn't say a word even when the school was rebuilt, in the last week of term. A week until summer. They'd all be staying over the holidays, of course.

Anna's silence was scary. Even to Jean, who everyone thought was some kind of Goddess. She wasn't. She was Jean. Just Jean. Except she shared her body, her mind. The Phoenix Force. It was powerful, scarily so. It was great at thinking under pressure, something which Jean was sufficiently lacking. It made her float, made her eyes golden. She couldn't summon a force field for Christ's sake! The most she could do like that was keep the rain of her. She was a telepath and a telekinetic. Te-le-ki-net-ic!

AN It was short but I want to hammer home that Jean DOES NOT FLOAT! IT WAS THE PHOENIX YOU NON-NERD! Also, gain tell me if you follow. I like doing shout outs, it makes both of us feel good. PM's or reviews are great ways of LETTING ME KNOW BEFORE YOU FOLLOW. Also needed Archangel in here. I'm gonna add it to the DESCRIPTION. Done shouting? Yeah, I'm good. Love you all!
