Chapter 2
Lena walked down to the medical lab where Professor X was examining Jean or at least the body of Jean. Logan stomped past her with a mad look etched into his face; Lena just shook her head and kept walking. No one understood the situation or the reasoning behind the Professor putting psychic blockades but Lena, she understood them perfectly. When he started training her to control her powers, the Professor let Lena sit in on the sessions he had with the Phoenix. She could still remember that day clearly even though she was a mere child of four years she could recall every detail.
~Flashback~
A young dark haired little girl skipped down the huge halls of the school. Not being bothered by the vast number of older students, she just kept trotting along. Once standing before a large wooden door she pulled her pigtails tight and walked in.
"Lena what have I told you about knocking?" a younger version of the Professor smiled down on the little girl
"Do it before entering" she bowed her head
"That's right. Now come take a seat I have something to discuss with you."
Lena jumped onto the overly stuffed chair that stood hideous. The chair had a blue background with large yellow flowers stitched into it. Her legs kicked back and forth as she waited for the professor to begin.
"Lena I know this might be too much for you to understand but I need you to try. You have great power; this power is stronger than most I've seen. I've only ever seen one other mutant with the level of your ability and that is Jean. Lena it might be to early too starting training you but we need to shape your ability before it affects you negatively. One day we will have another discussion about what I'm going to tell you, so do not fret if you don't understand or if you're scared. Lena there is people in this world that have great power like you but they use theirs for destructive and harmful purposes. When the time comes you will need to fight against these people, fight for the innocent and vulnerable, for those who can't defend themselves." Taking a few moments to register everything he had said Lena nodded her head
"I understand X. You can count on me." the little girl showed much courage and knowledge, more than those who are decades older would never show.
The years flowed as she fought hard against fake robots and enemy drones in the danger room. With each day for 6 years, Lena's powers grew and became more defined. As she got out of class she returned to the Professor's office to attend another session. When she entered the Professor's voice ran through her mind
"What have I said about knocking?" Lena rolled her eyes
"To do it." Lena sat down waiting for the professor to carrying on. She noticed now the worried eyes the professor had, she could see a secret sorrow storing in them.
"Lena we need to have the talk" She knew what he meant, she had been asking for over a year who she would be needed to fight.
"Who?" she asked curiously. There was no beating around the bush for this one.
"Jean" Lena's face contorted in with shock and fear
"What?" The professor put his arms on the desk and stared her in the eye
"Jean's power was too much for her to handle, she ended up creating two personalities. One is the Jean we all love but the other is different. There is no way to describe her show we have chosen to show you. You will sit in on a few of my sessions with the Phoenix. The day the Phoenix gains freedom will be chaos, she will kill at will without flinching. You are the only one that has enough strength to defeat her; you are the only hope for the future."
~End of Flashback~
She walked in as Professor X was coming out of Jean's erratic mind. Knowing why the Professor looked so solemn Lena came to stand beside him. She put a comforting hand onto her shoulder letting him know that she was there.
"Can I try?" Lena asked with determination
"To block the Phoenix? I don't think you are ready yet" he shook his bald head
"My powers have come to their extent ,I have all the power I need and I've been training remember. I say 15 years is enough."
"No not yet. Please push me up to my office Hank should arrive soon."
After leaving the Professor with his furry, blue friend Lena went walking in the garden. She stopped when she reached Scott's tombstone, with delicate fingers Lena brushed across the letters feeling for a presence of any kind. Her heart broke as sorrow flooded over her. Finding a large rock Lena lifted it to in front of her. Testing her full powers she let the rock float while she spun the matter off of it. Soon the rock was in the form of a smaller scale of Scott Summer's face. She let it sit on the tombstone then walked away.
Her heart tore a little more as she came across a broken down, dirty, old bench. This bench was beautiful to her not because of the gorgeous vines and trees that surrounded it, and not because of the pond that stood behind it. No this little bench was beautiful because of the memories it held for her.
~Flashback~
It was a warm, spring day, the flowers had just started to bloom and the mist stood fresh in the air. Lena was sitting on the bench staring into the pond trying to spot one of the abnormally large fish. Oblivious to anything around her, Lena got lost in the song she was humming. Using this to his advantage a dark haired boy snuck up behind her, before taking a breath he placed his hands by her sides then attacked. Lena screamed as his fingers gripped onto her torso. The boy laughed as she nearly fell off of the bench when she turned around to scold him.
"Jon! Seriously don't do that" his laughing calmed a bit as he looked at her
"Aw come on. You know you can't stay mad at me."
He sat down next to her on the old bench. With all of her might Lena tried not to smile as he scooted closer to her. Jon's hand brushed her hair from her neck and started to kiss it.
"I think I can make you smile again." it wasn't soon she started to smile then laugh. Jon pulled back his head and smiled at her
"You're beautiful when you laugh" he said staring at her. Blushing she smiled at him and gave him a gentle kiss
"You're not bad looking yourself Saint Jon."
Jon grimaced and flicked his lighter on; he took the flame into his hand and played with its shaped. Lena lifted and sticks off of the ground and brought it up to the flame. When it was burning bright red she started writing in the sky, leaving a smoky outline. For hours the couple sat there sharing themselves with each other without anyone disrupting them and their intimate moment.
~End of Flashback~
Feeling a disturbance Lena's head snapped up to see the doors fly open and Jean/Phoenix walk out of the mansion. Lena ran over to the floating figure. Not thinking Lena used her powers to pick up a boulder and threw it at the moving target.
Lena's eyes grew wide as Phoenix stopped it right before it contacted with her body. She turned around to look at Lena. Phoenix smirked mockingly at her and destroyed the rock making into a million little particles of dust.
"Tsk tsk Lena. You're not even close enough to having enough power to fight me. I could kill you in a millisecond." Lena's eyes hardened
"You wish bitch. I kept most of my power locked up just in case one day you got out and guess what, I unlocked it, you're going down for killing Jean and Scott" Phoenix outright laughed at that comment
"I killed Scott true, he was pathetic and weak. Jean well she's still alive. Like right now I can feel her trying to fight to get back and I can hear her yelling at me to leave all of you alone to kill myself." Lena had a few tears leaking out but still kept a strong stance ready to fight.
"Now you're really pissing me off"
"Fine you want to play"
Phoenix smiled as another slightly larger boulder went flying at Lena. With quick reflexes Lena put her arms up pushing the boulder away from her, it stopped moving ten feet away form her. The boulder fought to go each way, Lena looked like she was struggling but Phoenix stood there appearing like she was putting little to no effort into the fight. Her expression turned into a frown when Lena pushed the boulder towards her with a strong burst of energy.
The two fought for minutes until Phoenix found an advantage. She smiled as she saw Bobby run out to help his friend. Lena noticed this and turned to look in the same direction
"Bobby go! Run!" Lena screamed but he froze in his place seeing that it was his former professor.
Phoenix shifted her attention to him and took a different boulder and threw it towards him. Acting on pure instinct Lena dropped the boulder they were fighting over and put her power into stopping the boulder going for Bobby.
Bobby gulped as he opened his eyes to see the boulder a mere inches from his face. Lena brought it away from him and dropped it before running to him. She hugged him and cupped his face with her hands
"Are you ok? NO scratches, bruises, traumatic head injuries?" he laughed and took her hands from his face
"I'm perfect and alive thanks to you. Was that Professor Grey?" Lena turned to see where Phoenix had gone but found no trace of her anywhere.
"Shit" she turned back to Bobby frowning
"NO that was the Phoenix."
