Today, three brothers come together to remember their lost mother, and in the youngest's case, he was learning about her. Gabriel hadn't the privilege of getting to know his mother, but he mourned her death just the same. For he was torn out of her womb mere moments after she was stabbed to death. All for his father to bear witness.
Their father had decided to skip out on joining them because he couldn't take the renewed sense of grief. So the three brothers just swapped stories of her and drank together.
Her name was Katherine Ann Summers and little did she know that she gave birth to a legacy. Or maybe she gave birth to lunacy considering the beaten paths some of her sons and those after them had taken.
Elsewhere, son and daughter of Scott and Jean Summers had decided to treat their mother with a gift.
While Scott and his brothers stayed on the moon, the children took their mother down to Krakoa. They dragged her through the foliage, insisting that she kept her eyes closed.
She mentioned how this was silly and that she "really hated surprises" but she went along anyway.
Once there, the children had taken her to a clearing and instructed that she open her eyes now.
Eyes fluttering open, Jean bears witness to a statue of herself erected in the middle. This statue was not unlike the one from the old Jean Grey School but somehow, they managed to get their hands on it unharmed.
She was shocked and asked them what the point of the statue was now, now that she isn't dead anymore. Now that there wasn't a school.
They had replied that no matter what, their mother should be honored. It took a lot for them to gain happiness, and Jean deserved it for staying strong. They each thank her for what she has done for them, especially Nathan who remembers Jean raising him in the barren future. For teaching him how to use his powers, and for teaching him how to keep the virus at bay no matter how much it hurt.
This had brought tears to Jean's eyes. She didn't give birth to either of these children, but it didn't matter.
She was Jean Elaine Grey-Summers, and she was their mother in all ways that mattered.
Happy Mother's Day.
