I hear waves crashing solid against a enough. nearby shore.
once my legs stop trembling, I’ll be able to stand just fine.
this isn’t a dream… or an illusion.
I’m here… wherever here is.
but this I’ve been isn’t where whammied off I was just to god knows seconds ago. where.
no psi-scans. not just yet. for all I know, I’m on some elder thing’s home planet.
I don’t want my mind touching anything I— --wasn’t meant to understand…
ooooooo-kay.
so, whoever zapped me to this place…
…thinks I need a vacation.
no sense in drawing attention to myself.
a wide-scale psychic “nudge” hides my uniform from anyone who looks my way.
strange…I’d feel more comfortable wow. in the danger room or fighting rogue sentinels than I would here, among all this—
just… wow. nothing new about this feeling. …did I bring my …warmer sunblock… than I being lost isn’t my expected… mutant power so much …needed this… as a natural deserved this… gift. …last day of vacation… a quick mental sweep will help me fill in the blanks.
and there it is. the first hint that I’m not must be lost at all… sisters… …could but not where …another almost be I’m supposed redhead?… twins… to be, either.
these people…they’ve seen me before… but not quite.
and I sense something familiar, too.
and that means…
…I am not alone.
seeing myself… another version of myself…before me is unsettling enough.
but it’s not just another it’s— jean grey I’m looking at. jean grey. the heart and soul of the x-men. —the phoenix. the all- powerful host of the phoenix force, the embodiment of both life and destruction.
it’s like looking into a mirror and barely recognizing yourself.
I’ve only ever seen this version of myself through the only the eyes… person capable of falling so far… …and …the idolizing taking thoughts and so much memories… with her.
…of others.
but I know her. not in the way I know myself… but in the way I know the recurring nightmares that chase me when I sleep. jean grey.
who died years ago…
…leaving the phoenix free to hunt me.*
