Summary: Jean is gone (or so everyone thinks she is) but when Prof. Xavier picks up her mind and says could be alive, Scott must tell one of his oldest students who she really is.

Ch. 1 "You Need to Tell Her."

Scott Summers a.k.a Cyclops sighed as he stared out his bedroom window. It had been two days since the love of his life had drowned in a sacrifice to save the occupants of the X-Men's Blackbird jet.

"Oh Jean, why couldn't you have let me save you?" he murmured as he looked up towards the sky.

"Scott?" Scott turned around and jumped. Prof. Charles Xavier sat in the doorway in his new wheelchair.

"Professor, you scared me," said Scott.

"I did not mean to alarm you Scott."

"Sorry, I'm just a little jumpy today. I still feel her inside of me Professor. I can't help but feel that she's still alive."

"I know Scott, so do I. By the way, when was the last time you talked to Sarah Rose?"

Scott stopped in his tracks. He knew it too.

"Dinner. Why?"

"I think it's time for you to tell her Scott. She deserves to know the truth."

"But what if she reacts badly. I mean, I've hid this from her for 16 years, Charles. Since she was a baby."

"She needs to know. You need to tell her."
