You found Me
Is this a dream?
If it is
Please don't wake me from this high
I've become comfortably numb
Until you opened up my eyes
To what it's like
When everything's right
I can't believe
Scott looked at Jean in disbelief, everything else seemed to fade away. He know longer felt the heat of the fire or heard the screams of the children. His gaze and mind was entirely on the person that stood before him now. She was screaming and gripping her head as if she was struggling with something inside of her own thoughts. He could hear confused and angry thoughts skittering about in her mind. He stood up and took a step towards her. "Jean?"
"No stay away!" she shouted taking a step back away from him. "Don't come any closer!" she warned him. The Phoenix didn't want him anywhere near her, she was already having enough trouble controlling Jean.
You found me
When no one else was lookin'
How did you know just where I would be?
Yeah, you broke through
All of my confusion
The ups and the downs
And you still didn't leave
I guess that you saw what nobody could see
You found me
You found me
Scott took another step towards her and watched her take a step back. "Jean? What's wrong?" he asked.
"You! Stay the heck away from me!" Jean shouted but Scott noticed her voice sounded different, wrong somehow. "Scott.. please.." she whispered as she slumped to her knees. Her voice, this time, had sounded normal, like he remembered.
Scott rushed to her side and touched her cheek. Her skin was hot and tears were slipping down her cheeks. "Honey, what is going on? What's wrong?" he whispered.
"I.. can't.. I don't….. hold me" Jean's voice pleaded to him.
Scott complied immediately, he slipped his arms around her and held her close to his chest.
So, here we are
That's pretty far
When you think of where we've been
No going back
I'm fading out
All that has faded me within
You're by my side
Now everything's fine
I can't believe
Scott held her tightly as he watched the flames around them. They danced high and then lowered as if something was trying to put them out. The flames seemed to be resisting whatever it was that was attempting to put them out. He heard Jean whimper against his chest. What was going on? He wondered but he pulled Jean closer to him as he watched the spectacle that played out before him. He could feel a struggle playing in his beloved's mind but he wasn't sure what was going on. He stayed close to her, not about to leave her side when she needed him most.

Scott shifted as he watched the flames slowly die down. He felt Jean pulling away so he released her. He touched her cheek confused as he spoke, "What is going on?" he whispered.
"I don't know Scott… All I know is that there is something inside of my head… and it caused me to do horrible things" she whispered tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Shh, its okay" Scott whispered to her as he tried to comfort her.
"No it's not Scott.. I killed! I hurt innocent people" Jean whimpered.
Scott shook his head and pulled her to him again. "We will get through this" he whispered.
"How?" she whispered back as she relaxed into his embrace.
"Together" he told her. As soon as the words reached her she felt her mind calm. She could do this, she knew she could. As long as she was with Scott they could fight anything. She would stay with him and he would never leave her side. She shut her eyes finding a new strength inside of her. A strength to fight the Phoenix.
