X-Men: The Last Stand Page #4

You'll see.

Jimmy.

There's someone I would like you to meet.

Hello there, son.

- Hi.

- My name is Hank McCoy.

I'm sorry.

It's OK.

You have an amazing gift. Thank you, Jimmy.

Extraordinary, isn't he?

Yes, he is.

Scott.

Scott.

Scott.

- Can you hear me? I'm still here. Scott.

- Stop.

- I'm here. Scott. Scott.

- Stop it.

- Scott. Scott.

- Stop it.

I need you, Scott. Scott. Scott.

Stop!

Jean?

Scott.

How?

I don't know.

I wanna see your eyes.

- Take these off.

- No.

No.

Trust me. I can control it now.

Open them. You can't hurt me.

- What happened?

- No clue.

- Professor, are you OK?

- Get to Alkali Lake.

- You don't want to be here.

- Do you?

I can't see a damn thing.

I can take care of that.

What the...

Logan!

She's alive.

Jean.

The sheer mass of water that collapsed

on top of Jean should have obliterated her.

The only explanation of Jean's survival

is that her powers wrapped her

in a cocoon of telekinetic energy.

Is she gonna be OK?

Jean Grey is the only class five mutant

I've ever encountered, her potential limitless.

Her mutation is seated in the unconscious

part of her mind and therein lay the danger.

When she was a girl,

I created a series of psychic barriers

to isolate her powers

from her conscious mind.

- Jean developed a dual personality.

- What?

The conscious Jean, whose powers were

always in her control, and the dormant side.

A personality that, in our sessions,

came to call itself the Phoenix.

A purely instinctual creature,

all desire and joy and rage.

- She knew all this?

- It's unclear how much she knew.

Far more critical is whether the woman

in front of us is the Jean Grey we know,

or the Phoenix furiously struggling to be free.

- She looks peaceful to me.

- I'm keeping her that way.

I'm trying to restore the psychic blocks

and cage the beast again.

What have you done to her?

- You have to understand...

- You're talking about a person's mind.

- She has to be controlled.

- Controlled?

Sometimes, when you cage the beast,

the beast gets angry.

You have no idea.

You have no idea of what she is capable.

No, Professor.

I had no idea what you were capable of.

I had a terrible choice to make.

I chose the lesser of two evils.

It sounds to me like Jean had no choice at all.

I don't have to explain myself,

least of all to you.

History will be made here today.

For the first time,

the so-called mutant cure

will be available to the public.

Reaction has run the gamut

with mutants on both sides of the line.

Some are desperate for this cure while others

are offended by the very idea of it.

Will Secretary McCoy be a problem?

Hard to say. His political views seem
