"Jean's alive?" Camron was astonished. She had seen her collide with the wall of water. And now she looked down on her laying on the table. "How?"

"I believe that a bubble of power protected her." Her father hypothesised. "You see, when we found Jean, she had so much power that i had to help her repress it. but, it is dangerous."

"How so?" Camron asked

"during sessions with her and the power she would call herself The Phoenix." he told them

"Phoenix? like the bird of fire? a being of flame?" Camron asked, her dreams prevalent in her mind.

Logan let it slide off him. Jean couldn't be the one who kills Camron's lover.

Camron looked at Logan then...She would protect her family from the flame no matter what. yet she still needed proof. Logan loved this woman, and Camron would protect him from as much pain as she could. He would not suffer, not if she could help it.

--------------------------------

Jean slept for another year, and when she awoke Logan was at her side. And Camron was Long Gone.

She just couldn't stand feeling like she was being pulled apart like Logan forced her to feel.

"Logan?" Jean looked up into his brown eyes.

"How are you feeling?" he could only whisper.

"I'm feeling fine." she flashed her pearly whites at him....

-------------------------------

The war had started! Jean was killing them all, and Camron could save no one, not even herself. She was burning, and burning. she was dieing and all she could think about was how much she loved Logan, a truth that could never be told because she was dead. she had failed. failed...

Camron awoke covered in sweat and tears. Her sobs didn't stop for hours, and she just let them come. They lulled her back into sleep...into Logans arms.

"It'll be alright." he was so close that his lip brushed her ear when he spoke. "It'll be alright, i wont let her hurt you."

"I know." she looked up into his chocolate eyes. "I'm worried about you." she placed her ringed left hand on his cheek.

"I wont let her hurt you." He kissed her. "I wont--"

"I love you, Logan." his eyes lowered, glazed, and closed. he stopped moving all together. "Logan?" she looked down to find blood everywhere laced with fire. "LOGAN!" His adimantium ribs had been melted, and his heart removed. Laughter reached Camron's ears. Looking around she saw Jean standing with his heart in her hands, laughing at her. "WHY?"

"It was mine to begin with. I'm just taking it back."

Screams erupted from her long before she woke up. her room was empty and there was no one to save her from her own subconscious.
