Chapter 4
Why Jean?
Scott walked over to Morgana's bed and moved her hair out of her eyes. Morgana turned over on her back revealing a number tattooed on the side of her neck. Scott moved her hair and wrote down the number. The number was 567A432C1. Right then Morgana opened her eyes and accidentally stabbed Scott with her nails. As she pulled her nails out Scott's wound healed. He grabbed her arm and sighed. Morgana looked around as she sat up.
Scott, " Hey. How do you feel?"
Morgana, " I need to tell you the truth about Jean. About how she survived and where she's at."
Scott, " Tell me later. Later today we could go and get her."
Morgana, " Scott. I'm just worried. She's not the same Jean you guys remember. She is asking everyone to call her Phoenix."
Scott, " Phoenix? Why that name?"
Morgana, " After she died she was reborn in a burst of flames. Now she is more powerful than before."
Scott, "How? Does she remember me or anyone else?"
Morgana, " When I found her, she was saying Cyclops forgive me and Wolverine I'm sorry."
Scott, "So you helped her? Then where is she now? If she safe?"
Morgana, " Yes I did help her. She is in a cabin six miles from mine. Yes she is safe."
Scott, " I'm glad"
As he said this Morgana stood up and walked over to the window. She felt her heart drop as he said this. She liked him but he had feelings for the one that helped her since she found her. Morgana noticed she got stronger as Jean helped her control her powers and school her in writing and reading. Her and Jean we the best of friends she could not take Scott away from her. It had just started to rain, she sat on the window still and started to sing a lullaby. She remembered the lullaby from when she was a baby. A lady use to sing it to her. She wanted to know if she had a mom or not. Did she have a dad? Do they not love her, Just then Scott walked over to her and touched her shoulder. Morgana stopped singing and looked in Scott's visors. She bowed her head and closed her eyes. She saw more of Scott's past. She opened her eyes and looked up at him. She stood up and put her head on his shoulder.
Nightcrawler teleported down the hall. He really didn't know this new girl named Morgana but still he listened to Xavier and went to get her and Scott. He turned toward the door and knocked. Morgana looked up and smiled. She sensed Nightcrawler when he teleported. She hadn't met him yet but she knew him. She could tell he was nervous about meeting her. She ran past Scott and opened the door. Nightcrawler jumped from being surprised when Morgana opened the door and nobody was there. He looked around til she popped before his eyes. He smiled at her and laughed. He could tell he was going to get along with this girl. Nightcrawler hugged her as if she was an old friend. She wrapped her arms around his waist as he wrapped his tail around her to give her an extra hug. She let go of Nightcrawler as he walked over to Scott. He was whispering something to Scott and she didn't think Scott liked what he was hearing.
Nightcrawler, " Scott, we have a problem. Her test came back. Logan and Morgana are......"
Scott, " Father and daughter....I know. What about the M.R.I test?"
Nightcrawler, " Her bones are covered in the same metal that Logan has, but she has some kind of box in her hand that keep the metal hot so she can have both claws and nails. How did you know they were related?"
Scott, " I found out the day the professor did the tests. A box in her hands?
Nightcrawler, "Yea. Well, the professor wants to see her and you! He wants to read her mind. Plus he wants you to be there in case something happens."
Scott moved back a step and looked at Morgana. She had moved back to the window and was still half way crying. He walked over to her and touched her shoulder. She turned to him and hugged him. They walked down the hall to go see the professor. She didn't know her real family but one thing she did know. She had a family right here in the school that loved her very much and would die for her, maybe!
