Chapter 10
Welcome Back, Dr. Grey
Bobby and Rogue sat behind Scott in the old version of Blackbird. After shuttling them on the jet, Scott had not said one single word. Bobby looked at his girlfriend and sent her a look. Rogue shook her head and turned to look out the window. The trees were a blur underneath the airplane. Rogue tried to concentrate on one spot but the whirling sent her brain off on another dimension.
Scott artfully maneuvered the plane past a bunch of white clouds. He started positioning the altitude and finally noticed the existence of the two younglings.
"They are over that clearing." He said monotonously.
Rogue's attention turned to Scott. "How do you know?"
"I went down in that coma because Jean rose from the water. She must have connected her brain with mine and it basically blew out a fuse." He pushed a few buttons and the landing began. "While I was in that state, my mind was intimately connected to Jean's. Every thought, every feeling from before Alkali Lake and afterwards filled my brain." The plane landed gently in the clearing.
Rogue unbuckled her seat belt and followed Scott outside. Bobby wordlessly followed.
"How do you know she is going to kill Logan and Ororo?" Rogue questioned.
"Because during her swim in Alkali Lake, she forgot everything about use. All she knew was she had this enormous power and not the means to control it. When Logan and Ororo approached her, all she knew was that they had the answers to the questions. The questions of her past life." He stopped his quick pace and turned to his apprentices. "This is the plan. Jean has them hooked up in a clearing about a quarter of a mile from here. We have to approach from two different directions. As much as I hate this, I am going to be the diversion. I want both of you to get in that clearing and get Logan and Ororo out of there." He paused. The birds overhead started to circle. "Move quickly, Jean still isn't her old self. One false move and we all could be dead before she comes out of her amnesia."
Rogue and Bobby nodded like idiots and watched Cyclops walk away.
Rogue checked her com-link and made sure she could hear Cyclops order.
"Go now!"
She turned to Bobby. "I am set. Ready to go?"
"No, I have to do something first." He bent his head down.
Rouge looked at him. "Well do it so we could go."
"If you insist." He bent down and pulled her against his body. Before she could protest he locked her lips against his for a brief moment. He let go and started to walk to the direction they were supposed to go. Rogue stood there shocked.
"You're supposed to be the one to make me go funny, not the other way around!"
Rogue came out of her stupor and started laughing. Only her boyfriend could get her to laugh at a time like this. "Watch it Drake or I will have to kiss you again." She started running after him.
"Anytime Marie, anytime." And off they were to save their teachers.
The bird was back. All that was left of Jean Grey had vanished again. She looked at her bound prey and sent a wicked smile. The air started to stir and a smell of a male crossed her nose. "I see you came for me Scott, wouldn't want to keep you waiting."
She raised her hands above her head and off she was.
Scott walked slowly through the wheat field. He wanted to keep as much distance between him and the others. He tried to push his feelings deep within him. Having been in Jean's mind for the last two days made him learn all her weak points and it also taught him that when Jean was in this state, she was no longer Jean. Her power had consumed her and it would take much training for her to come back.
The air started to sizzle as a large orange glow approached him. He placed his hand to his visor and aimed towards the middle of glow. Within one brief nanosecond a bright red beam exited the ruby glasses and was absorbed in the glow.
"I am down her Jean." He whispered. It almost seemed that she heard his reply because the bird like figure headed towards him. He braced himself and waited for the collision.
The bird was free falling straight towards him when at the last moment he dodged out of the way. The orange mass exploded against the field. Scott sent a dozen beams toward her. The blasts were quickly absorbed and the bird was back on its feet within seconds.
"Jean! It's me Scott!" He shouted at her. The emotions sank into his throat as she ignored him. He continued maneuvering in many directions and screaming at his only love, but she only ignored him. He kept this up for as long as he could and the moment the orange bird went to sweep through him again, he prayed that the children got to Logan and Ororo in time.
Logan started surfacing from his stupor. He groaned as the light hit his eyes but ignored the feeling. His muscles ached from not being able to move for such a long time. His head turned as he heard the familiar crunching. He felt everything inside him tense until his opponents made themselves visible.
"What the hell are you two doing here?" He demanded as Rogue and Bobby entered the clearing.
"Well Logan, our suits came a couple years early so we thought we should save your ass." Bobby joked.
Wolverine started to growl but Rogue sent him a look.
"Logan, we have to get you guys out of here as soon as possible. Scott has Jean distracted for now but we don't know how long we have." She motioned for Bobby to start working at Storm's bonds. Storm released a small groan but went back out soon after.
Rogue knelt besides Logan and started tugging at the bonds, but just as he learned, the moment she touched them they started to retract.
Logan tried to conceal his pain but the circulation in his hands was starting to dwindle.
Bobby found an effective way to cut loose the bonds. He covered the ropes with his hands and sent a stream of ice. He then sent his hand against the ropes and it broke into a clutter of ice cubes. Storm collapsed against the ground, and Rogue and Bobby exchanged places. Rogue started soothing Storm and Bobby went to work on Logan's bonds.
"How do you know Jean is alive?"
Bobby muttered, "Scott told us."
Wolverine was thoroughly confused. "Wasn't he in a coma when we left?"
"Yeah, Jean apparently induced it. He just snapped out of it and knew everything. He decided to be the diversion. We have to get out of here as quickly as possible. You and Storm aren't ready to fight another battle." He lifted Logan to his feet and started to drag him along.
Rogue followed with Storm but they did not get halfway back when Jean Grey stood in front of them. No one moved a muscle until Bobby cockily said, "Welcome back, Dr. Grey."
The last thing Rogue saw before she fainted was the orange glow beginning to build.
The book of mutants came to mind and Rogue knew they found the Phoenix.
