Chapter 2: Help

She sat against a tree holding her head trying to get the voices to go away, she was shouting in her head for them to leave but they wouldn't. So many of them all cluttered together she couldn't think properly, she couldn't make out the distorted voices. Finally, everything calmed all she could hear was the silence of the night.

"Jean?"

It scared her to hear a voice again, she didn't know it wasn't in her head so she screamed. There was silence again, she opened her eyes to see Scott laying on his back a few feet away from her. She got to her feet, "Scott?"

Scott sat up rubbing his head. "Ugh," he grunted.

"Oh my god are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I didn't know you were a mutant though."

"What?" She asked startled taking a step back. "A mutant?"

"Yeah Jean it-." He was cut off with another scream from Jean. She was clenching her head she turned and started running. Scott stood and pulled out his cell phone dialing a number. "Professor?... Yeah I need you to get on Cerebro and find Jean Grey."

Jean was sitting on the ground exhausted. The voices had stopped again, and she was trying to regain her energy. She saw a man walk towards her, he was wearing a big jacket and a hat that covered part of his face. He took the hat off, showing his white hair and blue eyes.

"Hello, Jean."

"How do you know my name?"

"I know a lot about you. I know you are hearing voices that come and leave. I am here to tell you not to be afraid you have a gift Jean, you are a telepath. I can help you control it, not constantly hear those voices that drive you crazy."

She was shaky, unsure if she could trust him. "How do you know so much about me?"

"I know because someone with a gift told me about you. I also have a gift, would you like to see it?"

She nodded.

He smiled and the necklace around Jeans neck was pulled off by an invisible force and went to his hand. "I can control metal."

Jean's mouth was opened with awe. "That's amazing. What is your name?"

"Eric, though I like to be called Magneto. Now would you like the necklace back?"

She nodded.

"Then take it."

She started to get up.

"No with your mind."

"What?" Jean asked confused.

"You are not just a telepath, you are telekinetic. Now imagine taking it, it coming back to you without getting up. Use your mind."

Jean nodded she concentrated and the necklace moved, it slowly came to her outstretched hand. She smiled amazed, but it didn't last for the voices came back.

"Do not let the voices control you, you control the voices this is your mind not theirs." He told her putting his hands on her shoulders in a comforting way. "I can help you Jean, help you control the voices. Just come with me."

Tears were brimming in her eyes she looked up at him the voices had diminished. She opened her mouth to say something when a red beam hit Eric and he went flying away from her. She got up and went to his side and turned to see who hit him, it was Scott. "What did you do to him?!" She demanded upset.

"Jean he's a bad person."

"No! He was helping me!"

"Jean." Eric said from where he laid. "He doesn't want me to help you."

"Jean don't listen to him! He is trying to manipulate you! Trying to get you to join whatever evil plan he has up his sleeve."

Jean screamed both Eric and Scott went flying in opposite directions. "Just leave me alone! All of you!" She got up and started running.

As Scott got up rubbing his back, he looked around for Magneto but he was gone. He heard his name being called turning in the direction he saw Rogue, Kurt, and Kitty.

"What happened? We had just seen ya go flyin'." Rogue told him a hand on her hip.

"She isn't in control of her mutation her emotions are, she's frightened and Magneto was here."

"Vhat did he vant?" Kurt asked.

"I don't know, but we have to go help her."

She was so lost as she wandered the streets. Periodically the voices would come back and something near by would go flying. She wanted to go home but was afraid she would hurt her family, that she would freak them out.

"Jean."

"Rogue?"

"Listen Jean, Ah understand what ya goin' through."

"And how's that?"

"Mah mutation when Ah first discovered it mah mind was filled with another persons memories. We can help ya Jean."

Jean was half laughing and half crying, her eyes were clenched shut and a bench went flying towards Rogue, she had to fall on her stomach to avoid it. "I'm sorry." Jean told her, her eyes now opened.

Rogue took her glove off and walked carefully towards Jean. "Ah'm goin' ta help ya." She told her as she reached for her arm.

"No don't touch me!" Jean screamed, and Rogue went flying up in the air. She saw her appear a few feet away in the arms of a blue person. She saw Kitty walking towards her, she was saying something but Jean couldn't hear her. She was already too confused by the voices and scared that she couldn't reprehend that all they were doing was trying to help. Kitty went flying backwards and Jean fell over as a red beam hit her. She looked towards Scott she felt betrayed, and she knew that none of them were trying to help her. They were just going to hurt her. Her eyebrows narrowed and a rock flew at Scotts head knocking him out. She got up and started running again.

Jean found herself underneath a bridge. Her hair was wet from sweat, and her eyes itched from tears. She was holding her knees close to her chest her head buried in them. She heard foot steps and looked up to see Eric, his hand was out for her to take it, she looked at it for a while and took it.
