A/N: This is my very first X-Men fic and it takes place a year after X2. I have not read the comics, so all the info on each person (who's not my own character) is taken from the 2 movies. So please be kind in your reviews.

A/N #2: I have skipped Jean being reborn as Phoenix because I do not have the knowledge or inspiration to write her transformation. Please don't hold it against me!

A/N #3: The other pairings I have here are Jean/Scott and Storm/Wolverine.

Prologue

One Year After Alkali



Dr. Jean Gray was thought to be dead after the dam collapsed at Alkali Lake in Canada. Four months after that incident, Jean returned to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in New York State. Her powers were now very strong, and she was instructed for a long time by Professor Charles Xavier on how to control them. She eventually earned the code name 'Phoenix' when she had completed her training and rejoined the X-Men.

After Alkali Lake, Xavier had hired two new mutants to become teachers at the school. Dr. Price Lyndon became the teacher of Anatomy and the school's doctor until Jean returned. His power was the ability to become invisible any time he wished, earning him the code name 'Ghost.' The other teacher was Rebecca Perth, who taught Chemistry. Her power was super speed and her code name was 'Vite,' which meant 'fast' in French.

The two new teachers settled in quickly, joining the X-Men, and the only disruption was when Jean returned. Price and Jean were embroiled in an argument over who would become the head doctor of the school. Eventually, Price and Jean worked out a compromise and they became the school's doctors. Three months after Jean rejoined the X-Men, Xavier hired another teacher who was going to teach Literature to the students.
