Chapter 4
Vibrant Wings
I DO NOT OWN XMEN!
"Phoenix?!" Scott said, taken aback. "Jean, what are you talking about?!"
"Scott, go to your bedroom! We will deal with her!" the Professor yelled. Jean smirked.
"But, Professor…" Scott started.
"Go now! Jean is more powerful than you could ever imagine."
Hank led Scott out. Scott struggled to stay. He inevitably ended up locked in his room. "Let me out!" he shouted.
"I'm sorry, Scott, but this is for your own protection," Hank said to Scott though the door from the hallway outside Scott's room.
"My protection?! What about Jean?! What's wrong with her?!"
Hank sighed. "Jean has become the phoenix."
"What does that mean?"
"Jean is a class five mutant. She is the most powerful mutant the professor and I have ever come in contact with. The phoenix is her other self."
"'Her other self'?" Scott repeated.
"Yes. The professor has been suppressing her powers with a block in her mind. If he had not done this, Jean and everyone to come in contact with her would be dead by now."
"What?! But Jean would never do anything like that!"
"She was never able to control her powers. The professor says that she tried to, but was never able. That is when they agreed he would block her powers, but that block could only hold so long. I guess it just broke, and her powers took over."
"How can we help her?"
"I'm not sure anything can help her now."
"No!"
"So, that's what's wrong with Jean," Willow said from behind Hank.
"Yes, now get back to your room."
