Wow, it's been a really long time! I've have a bad case of writer's block but now I'm ready to write again. Enjoy!

jeangreyforever: I completely agree with you. X-Men: The Last Stand completely ruined the Phoenix.

Toast and Tornados: Thank you so much for your review! You actually motivated me to write this chapter sooner.

Reviewrz: Thank you very much for your reviews. I hope it continues to be a great story!

Disclaimer: I own nothing except the storyline.

Scott silently opened the door, not wanting to alert Emma to his presence. She quickly whirled around and he froze. Had she heard everything?

"Why?" was all she asked. Scott closed the door and walked forwards, embracing Emma.

"I'm so very sorry. I didn't mean to do that. My emotions got the better of me, but I promise it will never happen again. Please trust me."

"Scott, I'm a telepath. The truth is all I hear."

Scott embraced Emma once again, kissing her cheek. She embraced him back, knowing that Jean was a threat to her. She would have to get rid of her, and with Jean separated from the Phoenix, the job would be slightly easier.

Jean sat on her bed, replaying the event with Scott over and over again. It wasn't something that she could just forget. The passion in their kiss made her feel as if she had never left. As if Emma had never existed. But she knew that it was wrong. No matter what she felt, Scott belonged with Emma. After all, she had pushed him to be with her.

She had pushed him which meant that she could reel him back in.

Jean had no idea where that came from. It wasn't the Phoenix; it was gone from her life. It was her undying love for him. The same love that Emma had for him.

"No," she whispered to herself, "it's too late. He belongs to Emma." Jean wiped away a tear and decided to test her telekinesis. She looked around and decided to use her pillow. Although she was an Omega-level mutant, Jean knew that she would have to focus much harder. Concentrating only on the pillow, she tried to move it. Nothing happened. Jean tried again, waving her arm at the pillow. Again, nothing happened. Her misery was interrupted by a knock at her door. Jean walked towards the door and stopped halfway. What if it was Scott?

"Who is it?" she asked, bracing herself for the answer.

"It's Ororo."

Jean let out her breath and quickly opened the door.

"What is it? Did something happen?"

Ororo looked at Jean. She could tell something had happened but decided to ignore it.

"Nothing's wrong. Someone's here to meet you."

"Meet me? Who would- Oh my God. Is it him?"

"Maybe. You should go and check."

Smiling, Jean hugged Ororo and left to meet him. Ororo smiled to herself. She had never seen Jean this happy before. He would make her happy. He would treat her properly. It would only be a matter of time before Scott became an echo of the past.

Logan walked into the foyer of the mansion and looked around. It was empty; everyone knew that he hated being bombarded by questions. He began to walk to his room when he smelled something. It was the same smell that made his head spin and his heart beat ferociously. Logan ran towards the source of the smell. He saw her.

"Logan," she whispered. Jean ran towards him and he picked her up, embracing his love. He didn't know how she came back and she didn't want to know why. All that mattered was that she was here.

"Jean. I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything." Her voice made his skin tingle and he set her down. Her hair was slightly longer and slightly darker. Logan continued to stare at her, enjoying every moment of it.

"Aren't you going to ask how I came back?" Jean asked, pouting. Logan smiled.

"I don't care, but I'll ask for your sake."

"Good. I don't really know how I came back, but all I know is that the Phoenix told me that I had served it long enough and that it was setting me free."

"So you're free from the Phoenix?" he asked. She nodded and he smiled again. Now he wouldn't have to worry about her leaving him. Logan was about to speak when he heard the Professor's voice.

Logan. Jean. I need you to come into my office. Now. I've already called everyone else. It's an emergency.

"I have called all of you due to a very alarming discovery. Now, before I continue, I would like to welcome Logan back." Everyone smiled and looked at Logan.

"You really know how to push my buttons, don't you Chuck?"

Charles smiled. "I see you didn't forget to bring your attitude with you. Anyways, the reason I have called you is due to a strange mutant signature picked up by Cerebra."

"How strange is it?" Gambit asked.

"It seems to be amplifying other mutant abilities by a large amount. In fact, it's affecting mutants within a very large radius. The slightly disturbing issue is that this mutant is able to amplify mutant abilities to the Omega-level."

Everyone was quiet and had looks of complete shock. Betsy asked what everyone was wondering.

"Does the Brotherhood know about this?"

Charles gravely nodded his head. "Unfortunately, we went our separate ways after we had built Cerebro. It is very likely that he had built a similar version to it. If he is able to achieve bringing this mutant into the Brotherhood, he will have an army of Omega-level mutants."

Logan whistled. "Looks like Bye Bye Humanity."

"We have to intercept him before he gets to this mutant."

"I think it's too late for that," Rogue interrupted. She pointed to the window behind Charles. A few feet away, the Master of Magnetism levitated. He smiled and lifted several, large magnetic spears.

"Boo."
