Ch.6
-Sorry for the wait but I had finals and this extreme writers block that I
had to work through but look for a lot more updates now!!
"Children please stop mauling Dr. Gray, she's been through enough. Go off now and as a treat no classes today. Just don't go off campus." Called Dr. Xavier. Reluctantly the students left sending mournful looks in the direction of Phoenix.
"Dr. Xavier I would personally like to introduce me now. I'm Phoenix." She said, Phoenix who was once known as Jean Grey. "I must say... Phoenix... You've certainly shocked all of us. What happened?" Dr. Xavier asked. "Well, I guess you could say I was reborn from my ashes. See I put all my powers into getting the jet up and running while holding the flood back and they kind of brunt me up. It was strange as I felt the rest of my powers flow out of me I also felt this burning sensation. And it was weird because though the flames burnt me I felt only happiness and peace. I floated for days upon the waves and then my ashes reached land I was given birth by moonlight." She said. Bobby and Rogue were looking at her very strangely and Storm kept on inching more towards Kurt or Night Crawler. Wolverine was off in his own little world still laughing to beat hell. And of course you could never see what Dr. Xavier thought. Scott still held her tightly against him. "Reborn? I have never heard of anything like that happening before to a mutant. And only of the mythic creature Phoenixes having that power which is where you probably got your nickname." Said Dr.Xavier. "Phoenix isn't a nickname Dr. it's my name. Jean Gray is who I once was but she is dead now and in her place am I, Phoenix. I have her thoughts, memories, feelings, emotions, and even her powers still inside of me. But I also have more. I have different views different thoughts and yes even different powers. Like this-" she said. Turning slightly and stepping out of Scott's arms. She raised her arm and fire quickly bloomed in front of her open palm. The flames tossed and turned restlessly almost as if they had a life of their own. Letting the flames drops to the ground. She watched as they grew the flames in her eyes moving too. Tuning she faces the others. Her silver shirt turning a metallic red color from the flames. They stared at her apprehensively almost as if scared of her. Pushing into Storm's mind she read her thoughts. Pulling quickly out she stepped backwards almost into the flames. Storm was right they didn't know her anymore. She was someone different from the woman she once was. Weather that was good or bad Storm couldn't deicide and neither could Phoenix. Looking forlornly into Scott's eyes she turned and stepped into the flames and out. Walking quickly to the door she only turned once to bring back her flames. The floor wore the fires mark and even that she took with her. She was gone and to her room by the time anyone moved towards the door in the cafeteria. Cafeteria
"Look what you did now. Did you guys even think that you might hurt her with your thoughts? She was so happy to be coming home to you. She wanted to surprise you and make you all as happy as she was. Did you ever stop to think maybe she's as scared of these new powers as you are? We don't know what exactly she's been through. And She needs us right now. I don't care what you think but I'll be there for her. New powers and new personality or not." Wolverine said from behind them furiously. Turning he walked out of the room too.
Rogue looked at Bobby and said quietly, "He's right you know. She needs us and we need her." Looking at everyone she eyed them defiantly then walked out and headed towards the way Phoenix went. This kind of stunned the rest of them. Rogue had always been so quiet since she came here only opening up to Bobby and Wolverine. So unsure of herself Rogue never said a lot and tried not to get close to many people. Stairwell to the loft.
Walking angrily Wolverine didn't hear footsteps bounding after him. "Logan wait." Someone called pausing Wolverine turned almost stunned to see Rogue walking after him. "What is it Kiddo?" he asked not angrily though he was. He had a special bound with Rogue more than any other mutant in this world. He could almost still feel her presence in his body. And they were close in other ways too. Both outcasts, her scared and him bold not giving a shit to what other people thought.
"Logan you know I hate it when you call me that right? I'm almost 18 I'm not a kid anymore." She said. "Okay whatever I'll call you...Marie than." He said jokingly. "Logan, please call me Rogue. But um... that's beside the point. I agree with you about... Phoenix is it?" she said "Thanks Rogue, she needs us and if there is two of the X-men on her side others will soon come. Come on let's go talk to her." She said looking at her in gratitude. Turning they walked up to the loft together. Stopping at her door he knocked softly. "Phoenix? It's Wolverine and Rogue, we want to talk to you." Wolverine called through the door. Hearing footsteps they waited expectantly. The door handle slowly turned and the door opened.
