"Professor…" Jean spoke, walking up to him with a smile across her face. "She's here."

Xavier's eyes widened. "Alright… Let's go have a look at her, shall we?"

"Yes, Sir…" She stepped behind his wheel chair and pushed him gently.

"Where did you find her?"

"A small town in Elkton. Unfortunately she can never go back… She lost control of her powers, and unfortunately almost killed herself doing it."

Xavier looked to his hands, lightly placed on his knees. "I understand, Jean. Is she awake?" He asked, turning his head slightly.

Jean said nothing. She just put her head to her chest. "No… She is not awake yet… That's why I need you to pull her through."

Professor Xavier closed his eyes and placed his chin on his chest as they both entered the Medical Facility. Jean placed Xavier next to her, at the head of the bed. Her body was moving slightly with every breath she took.

"Oh my…" He looked to her body' beaten and bruised. "What happened exactly? Or do I want to know?" He looked to Jean's eyes.

"She was having a problem controlling her gift. She tried to hold it back for years, as I have heard from her mother. But every time her emotions went through the roof, so did her power. She almost killed a boy." She looked to her and placed her hand on Gen's. "She stopped herself. She thought she had no place to go, so she caved the school down on herself… She barely survived." Jean's voice was breaking and her eyes were tearing. She put her hand to her mouth. "I just don't understand why we didn't see her sooner…"

Xavier looked to Gen. Her eyelids moving with every twitch her eyes made. He looked to her chest, slowly raising and deflating. "Oh My Child… You are safe now." He put his hands at her temples and closed her eyes. "I will bring her back."

The flames of darkness surrounded Gen. Her face was covered with tears. "No!" She cried out, pulling her knees to her chest. "No!" She screamed, her body was quickly swallowed with fire. "No!" She yelled again.

The moon was high on the skies. Fear was smelled in the air. "Gen?" He called out to her, seeing the river of flames that led to a young girl in the fetal position; her breath short and shallow, her body surrounded with a black fire. He smiled and walked to her. "My Child," he kneeled.

Gen flinched closing her eyes. "No! Go Away! I don't want it to win! I don't want it to! Kill me, KILL ME!" Xavier's eyes widened as the darkness seeped into her eyes. He reached for her but was thrown back by an invisible force. "KILL ME!" She screamed. The earth beneath his feet began to rumble. He ran to the young girl.

"Calm down, Gen. I am only here to help you. Help you…" He put his arms around her, also being engulfed by the flames. He smiled as he looked into her eyes. "Your fire can't hurt me here, Gen. It's okay." He put her head to his chest and started to rock back and forth, soothingly. She cried in his chest, the tears swiping from her eyes to his clothes. "It's okay… I can help you."

Gen looked to his eyes as the tears still seeped from her. "I don't know what to do anymore. It seems like I am battling a war I cannot win." She put her head back to his chest, hearing his heartbeat.

"I can help you control your power. I can help you live a normal life… Do you want that?" Gen nodded in his arms. "Then you must come back with me…" He stood up and threw out his hand. She wiped the tears from her cheeks and stood up, the flames slowly dying out. She sniffled and grabbed his hand.

"Okay…"

Xavier opened his eyes and took his hands from Gen's fatigued forehead. He looked over to Jean, her eyes were worried. She looked over to the heart monitor. Her heart rate was up.

He put his hands back to her temple. "Come on, Gen. Come with me…"

Xavier's hands were thrown from her temple. Her body started to shake, a cold tremble. Jean wrapped her up in a blanket and poured some water on her forehead. Gen's head fell to the left as her eyes opened with a snap. She took a deep breath and looked to the people around her.

She threw herself to the floor, covering herself with the white sheet. Her body still trembled, from cold and fear. Xavier smiled and rolled over towards her. "Gen, do you remember me?" She nodded, her eyes scanning every part of the room, including Jean. "I am here to help you, remember?" Gen nodded again and her tremors faded. She stood and wrapped the white sheet around her.

She looked to the woman. Her eyes green, her hair crimson red. She was a beautiful woman. "What is this place?" She asked, lying back down on the steel bed. "It's a school; a school for people like us. Don't worry, you're safe." Jean smiled and walked over to a closet. "Hello, Gen. I am Jean Gray. I am so happy to meet you." She handed Gen some clothes. "I just need to check your pulse, silly stuff like that. Is that alright with you?"

Gen nodded, gulped and closed her eyes. She leaned her head slightly as Jean took her pulse, pressing her two fingers into her wrists. She looked back and saw some syringe's. "What are those for?"

"Well," Jean said, grabbing one. "This one is a pain killer, this one is a muscle relaxing chemical." She put them both down and looked to Gen. "Does anything hurt?"

Gen moved her body slightly. "Yeah, everything…" She put her hands to her head. She, suddenly, felt lightheaded and dizzy. Jean put her hand on Gen's naked shoulder. "Okay, this will sting a little bit. Only for a little while." Jean took Gen's arm and put a needle to her vein. Gen closed her eyes feeling the liquid seep into her bloodstream.

Jean took the needle from her arm and put her hands to Gen's cheek. "You'll feel a little weird." She smiled while helping Gen up. Gen put her hand to her forehead.

"I have such a headache." She stood up, leaning against the table. Her legs almost gave out underneath her, but Jean caught her quickly.

"Woe, wait a minute now… Let your body adjust." Jean nodded to Professor Xavier as he left the two girls alone. "Jump up…" She helped Gen back on the table after she got dressed. Gen pulled her hair up. "Okay, do you feel better any?" She asked, sitting next to Gen.

"A little." Her head still felt lightheaded, but her body no longer hurt. She smiled and looked to Jean.

"Do you remember anything?"

Gen closed her eyes trying to. "No…"

"Maybe some things are better left forgotten."
