Flashbacks
I awoke suddenly, feeling different. I had been in someone's mind for just a second and yet...I knew more about this person and I had never met her. I found a note on my chest with my name on it. I read it and all it said was, " You're Welcome." signed Elektra and the Hand. I was confused, but wait something was happening! Something bad. I looked around the room, and noticed that it was a nice room, but I could hear something...
Magneto's voice met my ears from miles away and he was angry: Hurry with that! If our plan doesn't succeed, you pay. Bringing him back is mandatory!
I teleported the instance he finished the last sentence and watched from a distance as the x-Men ambushed the Brotherhood!
Lance: Come on, Summers, you should wanna bring him back!
I floated down between the two teams: Who? Me?
They all stared at me shocked. I was shocked as well, as my memory was coming back and I thought I had smashed myself back at the temple. I remembered the room, and...the voices. Then Scott's voice broke me out of the trance.
Scott stammered: You're...you're...
I noticed I was just as I left...in all white. My hair, my clothes, my eyes...all white, but that changed. I thought back to the temple and how I'd been dead, I don't know how long, but I had been dead. Flames began to flash all around me, but they too, were white.
I was shocked: How long? (I read his mind without thinking) A year? (I read his mind again) Professor X is in a coma?
There was a boom and it was the Fantastic Four!
Johnny smirked: Hi. How long have you been awake? I like the flames...new look?
I felt the immediate anger of someone.
Scott was noticably pissed: You kept him from us?! He...you let us think he was...
Johnny and Scott were now face to face and ready to pounce on one another. But I couldn't take it! So much information to take in and so little time to...and they were arguing! Making it harder for me to seperate my thoughts from theirs!
I shouted: STOP! This is way too much! I can't take it...why didn't you tell them?
I noticed the Brotherhood had gone, lucky them.
Scott pulled me: He's going with me, so don't even think about stopping us!
The rest of the X-Men were in total shock! Johnny walked at Scott, but Sue stopped him.
Sue: We're sorry, but he was non-responsive and we didn't want to...We need to go, come on, Johnny!
Johnny stared at her in disbelief: Sue! But...
Sue: NOW!
Johnny walked over to me and hugged me, then handed me a device: If you need me...I'll be here. You have my number.
As he passed with Sue, he gave Scott the evil eye, and in an instant they were gone.
No one said a word, but Scott was being compulsive.
Scott: Are you okay? I mean...I bet you're hungry...you should be hungry after...
I stared at him: Dying?
Once I said that, everyone stared at me...even Logan seemed to be shocked.
I stood: wait, something isn't right! Professor is dying.
They all looked at me for a minute, then the flames appeared again and I took control of the jet telekinetically and we sped home
When we finally arrived at the Institute, I burst through the doors, down the elevator, past Marie, Remy, and Alex, who looked as if they'd seen a ghost, then to the Med Bay. When I got there he was dead. Everyone fled to the Med Bay and were shocked at my sudden appearance. I walked past all them, up to Professor's body and put my hands over his body, but before I could do anything, I heard Logan.
Logan ran in: What're you doing, bub?
I did something I had seen in Elektra's mind, Kirugwei: I learned some things from your friend, Elektra while I was comatosed. I read her mind. AWAKE!
I pulled my hand up and his body came with it! It worked! There was a lot of gasps , then silence.
Professor smiled and noticed me: What happened?
White flames surrounded me: We went on vacation.
After dying, then coming back to life...then bringing someone else back, I was tired. Scott offered to let me sleep in his room and I agreed.
The letter said:
Pane,
I had to get up earlier than you should, but come down. Sorry I wasn't there when you woke up.
Ps. Professor wants to talk to you.
Love,
Scott
The letter burst into flames in my hand and I flung it into the trashcan, then noticed all my things in the corner. I guess Professor was back to normal. I put on my jeans, a t-shirt, and black sneakers. I headed down to the kitchen and stopped at a mirror. I looked into the mirror and it was not me looking back, it was someone else. It was me, but I was dressed in a white skin-tight suit, with flames emanating from me.
The Mirror me smiled: Why are we still here? These people know nothing about our powers and we could rule the world.
I tilted my head: Not nice for the guest to speak without being spoken to.
I thought about the mirror intensely and it cracked, but when it shattered, the pieces didn't fall out, they fell in! I remembered that I forgot my phone and without even thinking it popped into my hand. I looked at it for a minute, then smiled and continued to breakfast. When I got there I was overwhelmed with happiness, joy, and shock. Jace wast he first tor run up and attempt to hug me, but fought the hug.
Jace stared at me for a minute <You're mad, right? We...heard, but just thought it was a rumor.>
I stared at him, then the rest of the group joined us.
Jubilee: OMG! I missed you so much!
I smiled: It is futile to miss someone. They never come back.
Amara: But you're back.
I smirked: Did I?
Ray: What's your deal?
Jaime: Yeah, are you okay?
I chuckled: 5x5.
I turned and walked away.
Sira took a sip of her soda and whispered: I didn't know that after you come back to life, you act like an ass.
I stopped and blew up the soda: Well, you do.
The door flew open and I walked out, not bothering to look back.
I found myself outside by the pool watching my reflection and just for a snap second, I forgot who I was...I felt as if I was someone else. Killing people, that's what I remembered, but I knew that this must be remnants of Elektra's mind. Soon enough I looked down and saw the other me, he was smiling at me and I smiled back.
Professor walked up with Scott: Hello. I guess I should welcome you back, although, I haven't been here either.
I looked up with a blank face.
Professor X continued: I owe you my grattitude for saving my life, or bringing me back, as it was.
I shifted: No need to apologize, there are worst things than death.
Professor eyed me: I felt the signature of Mesmero. I must track the Brotherhood, maybe they can help. I sense he was not with them, and if he is killing, then we should find him right away.
I nodded and he stared at me. He tried to see my mind, but I blocked him quickly. After a few minutes, he turned and wheeled away.
I didn't look at Scott: shouldn't you be teaching?
Scott's nervousness hit me right away: Umm, no, I have a personal day. So Professor found a room, but if you want to stay, you can.
Me: Where are Bobby, Kurt, Piotr, and Kitty?
Scott frowned at my lack of eye contact: Bobby is gone to take care of his brother...his parents are sick. Kitty, Kurt, and Piotr are on a mission, but...do you remember what we talked about...
I felt my emotion build: It's hard enough just being here.
Scott looked at me immediately: What? Tell me about it.
My face was as emotionless as ever: I miss the white light...the room, the peace...
Scott attempted to understand me and I could feel it: I don't...
I stared at the water, then drops began to float up: Scott...Do I scare you?
Scott sat beside me: Right now? Yeah. But...
I sneered: A real answer. No buts! I want the truth.
Scott sighed: No, the decisions you make scare me.
I made the pool chairs and tables float in the air with the water: I'm right, you have no idea what I can do.
He studied me carefully, then tried to move closer. I raised a shield and he was thrown back.
I got up: I bet that room offer is null and void, huh?
He stared as I walked past him, but turned back to the pool when the water and all the chairs and tables fell!
I waited until I saw Scott got back to the room before I even attempted to move. I stared at the mirror, but when Scott came in, I made it disappear. Scott didn't say anything, he just went into the bathroom, then came and layed on the bed next to me. I felt his...emotion, his desire and soon it became mine.
I moved closer to him: Why won't you "touch" me?
Scott was caught off guard: I didn't know...you want me to "touch" you?
I slid my hand over his chest and telekinetically removed his belt.
Scott stopped: I don't want to hurt you again...
I shoved my tongue down his throat and we made out passionatel and that led to...
I woke up that morning feeling like I had just been crushed by a house, then noticed Scott. I quickly got up and grabbed my clothes and heading out the door. Once outside the door, I felt my anger build up and a nearby vase blew up! A woman wearing a white tube top-thingy and white pants with long blonde hair, stepped over the rubble and stared at me.
The Lady: Some night, huh?
I stared angrily: Who...in the hell...are you? Let me guess, corner lady? Frosty cheeks? NO...am I getting close.
She sighed: My name is...
I paused: Emma...Emma Frost.
Emma: You must be Pane, I must say it's a pleasure to meet a man who isn't drooling over me.
I smirked: Cocky, aren't you.
Emma: Why shouldn't I be?
I walked closer: Could be the tacky white catsuit.
Emma chuckled: A twit with wit.
I smiled: I have heard of you. How could I not? You're the most hated bitch in the whole school. You did some bad things, incredible as they may be.
Emma frowned: Bitch? So you're mother and father are...
The table began to shake: Doesn't matter at the moment.
Emma: Powerful.
The table stopped: Aren't you?
Emma turned and walked away: A lady never brags.
I smiled <What's that got to do with you?>
She stopped, then smiled and kept on walking.
I liked her, which wasn't a very common thing in the mansion. To like the slutty, immoral skank, that was unheard of, but she's different....and I like it.
Later that day, Scott proposed that we go into the city. He thought it would be good for me to go into the city and I was less than excited. We walked and shopped until i was too tired to go on, so we decided that we should get some coffee from a little cafe somewhere in the middle of Manhatten. As we walked in, I bumped into this guy, cute in a geeky way, and he spilled coffee all over himself.
They guy: Hey!
I stared at him: What in the hell! Could you perhaps watch where you walk.
For a minute he just stared, then a car flew by!
I looked out the door and headed outside: Yay, finally some fun.
I ran behind Scott to see three of the robots from the Danger Room, but it was bigger! I flew up, getting ready to lay the smackdown on one when the other one knocked me down, but someone caught me! I opened my eyes to see red and blue: Spider-Man!
I smiled: Nice catch.
Spiderman (Just what I was thinking.)
I smirked < I can tell what you're thinking>
He smiled at me, then dodged another signal!
I jumped out of his arms, but I noticed something familiar...the smell of coffee! Cyclops was still fighting one of the sentinels, then he decapitated it, and Spidey was working the other, so I felt the flames cover me again and I telekinetically ripped the sentinels apart!
Cyclops: I get it now, the Phoenix! Is this the Phoenix or Pane?
I ignored his question Have you ever met Spiderman? I think I know what he looks like...his alter ego, not the costume...cause we all know...nevermind, the guy from the coffee shop.
Spider-Man dropped beside us: How'd you know? Was it that weird telepathy?
I stared at him: No, I smelled the coffee.
Cyclops frowned: You were that close?
He smiled at me, then stared at Scott and swung away. Scott looked at me.
I pointed at him: Don't start.
Scott: About the Phoenix...
I stopped in my tracks: You want to know the truth?
Scott stopped: Yah!
I put my head down: When the Phoenix force encountered Jean Grey, it was looking for me. It is me, the other half. I've been...
Scott raised his eyebrows: Been what?
The Phoenix <He wouldn't understand. He would think we were dangerous.>
I realized she was right: Nothing...I just, I'm feeling like I don't belong here.
Scott hugged me and I looked into the store window and my reflection winked at me.
