Chapter 8: A New Threat
Professor Charles Xavier sat reading in his study. Everything was unusually quiet. Suddenly, he sensed someone or something penetrate the psychic defenses in his mind. "Hello?" he thought. "Hello Professor," a voice said. "Jean?" he asked. He had a vision of a red-haired girl with glowing eyes. "Jean?" the voice hissed scornfully. "No, I am Phoenix!" "Um…right. Care to explain?" Phoenix sighed. "When you sealed away the majority of Jean's powers because they were unstable, they manifested in an alternate personality, me." "That's…not good." "No, it's not. And now I've come back for revenge!" "Could you be more specific?" "Sure. I plan on haunting your every waking moment and finding as many ways as possible to drive you crazy." "Hmm. Somehow that doesn't scare me." The girl smirked. "It should. I already give Magneto nightmares. As Jean puts it, I'm "the annoying little voiced in your head that won't shut-up." "Jean knows about this? Since when?" "Oh, about last Thursday. See, she was talking to Summers when I got bored and decided to let her know I was there. You should have seen the look on his face when she started arguing with herself out loud."
"Charles?" Storm asked. He looked at Logan. "You have no idea...no idea what is upon us."
