"After the Labors Were Done" (New X-Men)
Jean always wondered at the naivete of Hercules' wife, Dejanira--so jealous of a female slave she used a false love-spell that killed her husband. The story left many questions unanswered.
How did love become so warped? Why did Dejanira think the centaur who kidnapped her would give a love-spell with his dying breath?
Hercules labored for many years in the service of the gods, Scott labors for The Dream. Dejanira trusted the words of an enemy, Jean trusts in the Phoenix.
As she confronts Emma and Scott, the Phoenix rising in her, Jean wonders if she's any less foolish.
