Song: Wait by M83

Moira was sitting next to the once unconscious body, happy tears falling from her face.

"I'm so happy you are here Charles", Moira said soothingly. "I don't understand how this happened, how this could be real, she said in her thick Irish accent."

"It is very real Moira, you didn't think I could stay gone forever did you?"

"Of course not Charles, you are much more powerful than I ever believed."

"Not quite powerful enough…Jean didn't make it. I tried so hard to save her… and all my efforts were useless. I feel responsible for what has happened to her. She was always one of my favorites, like a daughter to me. I let her down. I thought what I was doing was the right thing. By putting barriers in her head I managed to give Jean an almost normal life…and she had this other personality, where all her power was that I locked away, never meant to be unleashed in this life or any other. If it wasn't for me her powers would have developed, she may have never been able to control them, but I didn't know that for sure. I took a gamble and I made the wrong choice. Now hundreds of people, including one of my other students is dead and the blood is on my hands".

"Oh Charles, you were only doing what you thought was right. You can't be blamed for what Jean did as Phoenix… It was no one's fault. It was an accident; there is nothing that can be done about it. You must forgive yourself for this, your students need you."

*at the mansion*

"Scott I don't know how this happened but your perfectly healthy…do you remember anything"?

"Just seeing Jean and being so happy she was alive…What happened to her? No one will even speak to me about her, like they are afraid or something."

"Scott… Jean killed a lot of people, including you and the professor. I'm sorry, we tried to save her but Logan had to kill her before she destroyed everything."

Suddenly there was some shaking; the whole floor began to vibrate like an earth quake… which is rare in New York. Everyone was getting up and running down the hallway, going into the safe room. All the X-men met in hall, dressed in uniform, and looked at each other. It was just Storm, Angel, Rogue, Bobby, Beast, and Kitty.

"What is going on here?"

"I don't know but it's coming from the garden…."

They all quickly raced out to the garden just to see the ground splitting down the middle from a familiar grave…

She will rise again

It was printed at the top of her gravestone, no one meant for it to be taken literally…

"Everyone be on guard, We need to take care of this before it goes out of hand" said storm.

"I'm not gonna letcha hurt Jean, said Logan growling low.

Storm and Beast exchanged a look, which the other younger X-men picked up on.

Everyone lined up in front of the grave as a huge light burst from the grave site. Everyone shielded their eyes as Jean rose from the grave flying high into the air. Almost as soon as she rose and burst from light and fire she just as soon fell, falling only to be caught by Logan. Her green pools stared into his brown ones.

"Logan….I…."

"shhh it's okay, you don't have to say anythin right now darlin'."

He adjusted her in his arms as if to carry her back upstairs.

"I'm sorry for this Logan, but it has to be done and you're the only one who can do it."

With that she took over his mind, plunging his claws into her chest, letting go of his mind only after her eyes began to lose their life.

"No…. Jean why did you do this, don't do this…He looked into her eyes brushing the tears of pain back from her pale and clammy skin. Right as he was laying her down Scott came over, pushing past the other X-men..

"I'm sorry, as soon as I got the call I came as soon as I could…. I had just gotten off my flight back from Ireland, it took awhile to get through customs. He immediately stopped talking as he realized the somber mood he walked into. He saw her body laying there, covered in blood. There were three holes just big enough for someone's claws to have pushed right through her heart in her chest.

"Logan, you bastard… what have you done".

Scott walked over his hands on his visor, he was right about to plunge a blast to completely abliderate the stunned man, who still sat holding her body when a huge blast of light escaped Jean and went into all directions. Everyone was blown off their feet and sat several hundred yards from her body as they got to their feet, only to see Jean slowly rising into the air, except instead of being vertical, her body was now laying horizontal about 3 feet off the ground. Light filled her eyes and every cavity of her body. Her skin was decaying, only to be rebuilding itself. Images of her life were flashing into their minds as they stared at her. Her finding out she was a mutant, her early missions, learning to control her powers with the professor, falling in love with Scott, her saving everyone on that mission from the giant flood of water and the deal she made with her other half the dark phoenix.

"what is she doing?"

"I don't know Scott…..I feel like she's trying to show us something".

It finally became evident as her thoughts mirrored inside their own minds what she was doing.

"She's showing us her whole life…She's mending her mid. She is rebuilding what the professor destroyed and becoming one whole person again. Jean and the phoenix are becoming one person, the way it was supposed to be."

Suddenly all the light was taken from her body and she was gently floated to the ground where Logan picked her up and began to walk back inside…

"She's unconscious… I'm taking her to the lab."

Slowly all the x-men began to walk back inside the building after them.

Okay, I know this is kind of strange but I wanted to fix what the writers messed up in the movies. I don't like the idea of Jean having a double personality so this was my way of making it right before I go on with the story. Please review
