Ch.3 Fighting
The next morning Phoenix boarded a train to Rochester, New York. Though she would have preferred to fly with her powers she couldn't not in broad daylight and not without tiring fast. Before arriving at her destination she changed into her X-Men suit that had been given to her the night she was rebirthed. Night had already fallen when she arrived swinging her gym bag/suitcase thing over her shoulder she headed out into the night. Phoenix had already decided she wanted to walk or maybe even fly to the mansion.
Ripples to her right and just ahead. Someone was fighting, A very dirty fight to. Zeroing in on it she headed in its direction. It was a mutant and a human and by all looks the mutant was either not a fighter, drunk, or very smart. " Take that you mutant you freak you shouldn't even be allowed to live. You contaminate everything you touch. Dirty bastard." The human said. " You're getting me angry and you won't like me angry." Came a low growl from the ground. Noiselessly dropping her bag she launched herself into the air, donning her mask as she did. Hovering above them high enough so they wouldn't bump into her or see her she listened as the guy continued insulting the other mutant.
"-The president is stupid and be shot like you, you're nothing in this world just a filthy freak--"
" I told you, you don't want me angry and I'm getting angry."
" Think I'm scared, Oh no watch out the animal is going t o use his freakage on me Oh no Help me" the vulgar man said in a falsetto voice.
" That's it-"
Realizing the mutant meant to kill the human Phoenix picked the human up telekinetically and threw him against the wall. He landed in a pathetic puddle at the bottom but to be safe, Phoenix created a half ring of fire around him to keep him place. Slowly she touched back down to the ground her back turned to the fire, her features hidden in shadow, and by the mask. " I know what he did to you was vile but you can't kill him. That's what gives us mutants a bad name."
" Oh yeah what do you know? A very great, loving, tender, carefree mutant was killed two weeks ago for trying to help mutants. She was killed by humans like him."
"I'm sorry for your loss but you can't do stuff like this to avenge her. No one should even if others do deserve it."
"You remind me of her you know. She always had sort of speech to say about how we had to work together for a greater tomorrow, for peace and acceptance."
"And she was right whoever your friend was, was very smart. She had the right idea."
" Who are you? I would like to know who my rescuer is."
" Do you want me to build up the fire then?"
" If that's the way you want it. Then yes."
Smiling Phoenix turned to concentrate on the flames slowly making them burn brighter. Without causing too much more heat. " It's ready step forward. The light is better over here." Turning slightly she watched as the man approached. She gasped in surprise, it was Logan or Wolverine.
" Ya know Lady it might help if you take of that mask so I can see your face better. Or would you prefer to be a lady of mystery and be called Lady Fire."
" Haha I like that Lady Fire it has a nice ring to it. But no my name is Phoenix. Kinda like yours Wolverine."
" You know my name?" Wolverine said in surprise.
" I know more than that about you Wolverine much more," Phoenix said reaching up and sliding off her mask. " Do you not now recognize me?" " Jean is it really you? Really, really you? In the flesh alive and by all looks well?"
" Yes Wolverine, but please call me Phoenix, the once Jean Gray is dead. And born from her ashes is me Phoenix."
"What ever I don't care it so good to see you." He cried grabbing her and pulling her into and exuberant hug.
Laughing she slowly pulled away. "Wolverine, uhh it's so good to see you!"
" Come on let's go back to the school. Everyone has been to sad, Storm won't stop crying, Scott feels responsible for your loss and walks around moping, Rogue and Bobby seem to be drifting away from each other. Thinking it's their fault the jet wouldn't start. Let's go, we'll get a taxi come on!"
Walking over and picking up her bag Phoenix turned, " I have a better way." She said a mischievous smile curving her full lips.
