X-Men:Evolution
The Phoenix
Chapter 7



"She is just a child, Logan. She's strong, but not strong enough to force the Phoenix from her. She would die and that is not a solution."

"I know, but we have to do something, we just can't let that thing stay in her! There's no other choice Charles," Logan told him.

"There is. Muir Island. Moira can help here, and I'll go also. That means that I'd need you and Ororo to take care of the others."

"No, I'm going too. She can get dangerous, and you and Moira can't defend against her. You won't Charles, you love her too much."

"Perhaps you're right."

"The others must know, they all care about her. They'd want to know that she's going somewhere where she will be taken care of."

"I'm not sure that's a good idea, Ororo. Those kids could get real emotional," Logan told her.

"I can handle them Logan. Scott will be the one most effected, but will be the one we should tell first."

"I'll tell him," Xavier told them.

"No. No! You can't just take her away! She needs us!" Scott yelled at the professor.

"Scott calm down, she's going to be alright."

"Then why can't I come?"

"Because the Phoenix can be very dangerous and could hurt you."

"Jean wouldn't let Phoenix hurt me!"

"You don't know that!"

"Yes I do! She wouldn't let it hurt me!"

"Scott, you have school. You're a senior and I need you to take notes in the classes you have with Jean, okay? I'm counting on you to catch her up when she comes back. Moira will be very gentle with Jean, she would never hurt her, so you don't have to worry."

"Okay, and I'll get notes from her other classes from Duncan Matthews and his crew," Scott told him.

"Good, then I also want you to reassure the others. I haven't told them yet, but I will be..."

"I'll tell them," Scott told him.

"Scott you don't have to."

"I know, but I need to."

"Thank you."

"Can I say goodbye to her?"

"Yes, come on."

"I'll be right there," Scott told him as he went to one of his drawers and retrieved a locket. He quickly followed Xavier to Jean's room.

"Only a few minutes, okay?"

"Okay," Scott said entering Jean's room. "Jean?" he called. He saw her laying with her back to him. "Jean I brought you something."

"I don't want to go away..."

"I know, but the professor says that Moira is very nice and that she will take very good care of you."

"I don't care I don't want to go. I have to go...with Phoenix."

"No that's not a good idea."

"Scott," Jean said facing Scott. She was sitting right next to him, "please let me go?"

"No!"

"Please?" she asked almost crying.

"Jean..." Scott said looking down at his hands, he couldn't bare seeing Jean cry. "Here I brought this for you," Scott said handing her the locket.

"It's beautiful, Scott." Scott helped her put it on and she opened it to find a picture of her and Scott that she didn't remember taking.

"You like it?"

"Yes I do. Scott you must let me go."

"I don't want to lose you."

"Phoenix will bring me back."

"Jean..."

"Please Scott..."

"I love you."

"You do?"

"Yes."

"Well, I love you too Scott Summers. But you must let me go. I will return to you. Please Scott, if you really do love me, then you'll let me go, please."

"Okay. Go." Scott said as he opened her window and led her to it.

"Thank you," Jean said and then kissed him. Phoenix, then took over. Her eyes were glowing gold once again as Phoenix changed into a dark green suit and flew out the window.

"Goodbye Jean. I love you."

"Scott what have you done!?" Xavier said as he and Logan and Ororo enetered the room.

"I let her go," he simply told them.
