Disclaimer: If I ever actually buy the X-Men from Marvel, I let you all know.
Shout out's: Rogue151- thanks for putting me on your favorite authors list! Thanks for the idea, I'm trying to see how to fit it in. And I read your bio and I have this to comment, WAR EAGLE!!! GO GET 'EM TIGERS! lol.
The Incredible Nightcrawler-glad your 'in the know', yes it is rather complicated isn't it? Jean can't just die, she has to have it long and drawn out. Here's the next chapter. :)
Nitequeen- dimensions are headache inducers, I know. But their so much fun to work with!
Georgia Peach- thank you for your lovely praise.:)
Auramistealia- Sorry about that. Thanks for reviewing again!
Kiki Cabou- Thanks for reviewing all my stories! I loved 'The Alien down the Hall'. And I noticed the 'X-Files' stories you have, I'll have to read those. :)
~*~*~ I almost have 70 reviews on one of my other stories! Mesa very happy!~*~*~
Chapter 5: More History
"I didn't know if I should with her in here." ~Kurt said apologetically.
"So there's more to it then just her power's killing her?" Ororo asked.
"Her power is what drove her to kill herself."
"Red wouldn't kill herself." Logan said gruffly
"Well, she did." ~Kitty said.
"She did, so she wouldn't kill anyone else again." ~Kurt explained.
"Again? Maybe you should start form the beginning."
~Kurt inwardly sighed. This was turning into a long night.
"Jean, as Marvel Girl, was a founding member of the X-Men, as I've told you. In later years she became a being of unimaginable power: Phoenix."
"Explain what you mean by that."
"Phoenix is the code name she took vhen her powers grew greater. And Dark Phoenix is vhat she became. But before that, she saved the entire universe virtually single handedly. After that she vas never the same. An incident vith Master Mind drove her over the edge and she became more and more power hungry. In her rampage, she destroyed an inhabited star system, over five billion lives lost."
He paused, letting that sink in.
"When she came back to Earth ve vere able to return her to her true self. But it didn't last. Dark Phoenix possessed her again, and then, in a burst of sanity, she realized there vas only one vay to stop the evil side in her. She killed herself."
~Kitty was wiping her eyes, she had only known Jean for a couple of days before she had died. Jean had comforted her when she had been terrified, when she had first met the X-Men.
~Kurt felt emotional and physically drained. He sat slumped on the sofa, watching the facial expressions of Xavier, Ororo, and Logan.
"Thank you. Now that we know what happened to your Jean, if the same symptoms appear with our own, we might be able to help her." the Professor said.
"Dear God, I hope that never happens to her."
"So do we all. It is late and you and Miss Pryde have had a tiring day. Would you like to be shown to your rooms now?"
"Yes, please." said a sleepy ~Kitty.
"Ororo would you please take our guests to their rooms?"
Four minutes later ~Kitty was flopping into the bed. She felt so tired that she didn't even mind the un lumpiness and starchy new feeling of the bed. But sleep wouldn't come, and she stared at the ceiling, hoping playing the make-cracks-in-ceiling-into-countries game would help her over active brain calm down. This didn't work because there were no cracks in the ceiling.
Sighing loudly, she sat up in bed and gave the room a look over. By the bed was a book shelf. She turned on the little lamp that was by the bed and leaned over to see the titles of the books. All classics. No Star Wars comics. And nothing about pirates or swordplay. ~Kitty grinned. ~Kurt would be disappointed.
~Kitty picked up one of the classics and flipped through it. One whole chapter was about a turtle and how it walked. Very entertaining. ~Kitty threw it back into the shelf. Regretting it, since it wasn't her book to annihilate, she picked it up again and looked at the author's name. Steinbeck. Oh, yes. One of her favorite authors. She was being sarcastic with her self again, not a good sign. She put the book back gently, and fluffed up the pillow before putting her face in it. When sleep finally over took her the last conscious thought she had was wondering who was going to feed Lockheed in the morning.

You should all be very thankful! I searched all my graphic novels, over and over again, looking for a good summary of the 'Jean Saga.' I finally found one, where Kurt was telling Rogue about what had happened to Jean. (Issue # 174, The Uncanny X-Men) The summary I did is close to it, but not the exact wording. Also I added stuff from what I remembered. Short chapter, I know. But did you really want a long chapter mostly about Jean? *Shudder* Oops. Sorry to all you Jean fans. Do you all know who Lockheed is? Well, he's a lil' dragon. About the size of a house cat. He is! I didn't make him up! I'm beginning to wish I had brought him into the 'Evolution' dimension. Could of had so much fun...And about ~Kitty liking Star Wars, she does. In the comics whenever she's in her room, alone, and not studying, she's reading a Star Wars comic. Geniuses have good taste, don't they?
