And with far more sincerity! Kitty mocks. Emma is not bunking with her! No one is going anywhere , Cyclops interrupts. Emma coolly tells him he needs a broader understanding of the situation before making those decisions.
Angrily, Scott begins to tell her the line she is over is about a mile back that way. He took Jean captive due to her seemingly endless source of power. Hoping she could provide the key to curing mutantkind. Does anyone have mouthwash? They set aside the unpleasantries to combine their powers while using Cerebro. They will stop at nothing to control or eradicate the Phoenix or the host it is most likely to return to in order to save their world. Hank explains that the theory is entirely reliant on the assumption that Jean and Phoenix are still one and the same.
That is… false. She is not the Phoenix. The irony of the situation is further underscored by the fact that, had Ord known this, he would have left Jean to her fate. After her apparent death, that entity separated itself from her.
The Phoenix force has not made any attempt to rejoin her from that moment through to the present. So when they saw her die… Wolverine begins. They were wrong, Henry continues. Again, Emma remarks tartly. And here they are again, debating the merits of keeping someone who will most likely cost them all their lives. Jean stays! Scott shouts and orders Emma to continue to interrogate Ord to see what else he knows.
Emma presses that Jean may not be the Phoenix now but it is only a matter of time. They will die! She heard him, Wolverine states.
Emma states. But she has plenty of dance partners. She walks away in her diamond form, calling them sodding fools. How many times must one woman get them killed, before they realize she is better off staying dead? Cassandra Nova stands before her in the corridor. This is the greatest gift possible! What is she doing revealing herself? Emma shouts. She will sense her!
Cassandra orders her not to raise her voice. Why her? Emma rants. Always her. And why now? So close! But that can work to their advantage. While the men fall victim to the same routine they always do, fighting over such an average looking woman, they are free to pursue their plans.
Emma corrects her. She heard Beast. Do keep in mind, Cassandra corrects her, despite what the ridiculous cat said, Jean Grey never travels alone. Cassandra explains that they have been keeping a giant secret.
Their minds may belong to Emma but their hearts tell their true loyalty. The Phoenix feels Jean near. Emma must become the Phoenix, not Jean. Time to embrace her destiny, her true self. And then, one by one, all fall down. Close to dawn, Kitty dreams of Johnny Depp while Lockheed tries to get her to wake up.
Anxious, he tries to drag her away from the bed. Finally, she follows to find the corpse of Ord. In his blood is written on the wall: one down. The Phoenix raptor has almost reached it when a bullet is shot heading for Earth.
The Phoenix mocks the plan and sends the bullet back. Yes, the prophecy made real, Aghanne exclaims moments before it hits. Who is she to stand in the way of destiny? Scott runs into her bedroom full of concern. Is she hurt? Jean holds her head as she tells him she is fine but she thought she heard … screaming in her head. A lot of it. And then… nothing. As if it was snuffed out. She apologizes for sounding so Obi-Wan.
As long as she is okay, Scott replies taking her hands. She is now, Jean assures him. There is no way this is going to end well, Shadowcat mutters as Lockheed leads her toward the graveyard.
Fine, Kitty sighs, be that way; all stoic and dragony. He leads her to a grave. Reluctantly, she phases downward and to her shock she finds the desiccated corpses of the three Cuckoos. But before that a white boot kicks her in the face and she falls unconscious next to the already unconscious Lockheed. No need to scream, Kitten, the perpetrator tells her. She heard her just fine. Inside, Jean remarks to Scott that he is in her bed, breaking the moment of intimacy.
Scott still believes this is about their embarrassing shared moment before. Scott asks. Jean orders Hank to gather the kids and get them out. Everybody else, do what they do best! Beast defends Emma, telling Jean she has proved herself. Emma sarcastically thanks him for the vote of confidence while telekinetically snapping his neck. She orders the others to fall down as she unleashes a telekinetic blast at them.
Jean, though, is still standing. Oh my dear , Emma sighs condescendingly as she changes to her diamond form. There are things she can do that Jean never dreamed of.
Emma my dear, Jean retorts, rising up to meet her, she perfected the costume change when Emma was still running around in lingerie! Surrounded by the Phoenix effect, Emma tells Jean she can have Scott… this place. It was only a matter of time anyway. But she is not taking this from her! Not interested, Jean shoots back. Just trying to take a peek under the hood.
She reaches out telepathically. Emma may be Phoenix. Astonishing X-Men 1. Lists with This Book. This book is not yet featured on Listopia.
