After the Awakening
Chapter Three
Scott Summers
He was standing on a mesa in Arizona looking out at the desert which meant he was dreaming and there was a psychic in his head. There was only one telepath powerful enough to reach him where he was sleeping; so he turned and called out, “Why are you in my head Jean?”
He saw the Phoenix effect appear then and out of walked his ex-wife looking as if she’d rather be anywhere else than in his head. “There something I really need to tell you and this was the only way to get in touch with you.” He still wasn’t happy she was in his head but he’d hear her out. “Scott, Alex is alive we found him six weeks ago.”
“What,” He couldn’t believe it Alex had died in an explosion if he had been alive all this time where had he been. “Why are you just telling me now?” He finally managed to ask as she stared out over the desert looking anywhere but at him.
“He was in a coma when we first found him and we only just now brought him out of it,” Jean said sounding tired. “I had to push myself to bring him back his mind wasn’t even on this dimensional plane anymore.” He felt a bit of the old fear that sounded like the Phoenix talking not Jean. “He is awake now so if you can slip into Genosha you can see him but remember you can’t be seen entering the country.”
“You know getting into Genosha is no problem for us.” He knew that she and Xavier both knew about Lila’s gift to them and what it allowed his team to do. “Is there a certain time you want me to come or can I come immediately.”
“It would be best if you waited until late tonight our time,” Jean said with a hint of nervousness. “It will make it easier to avoid witnesses to your visit the US and other governments do have spies on Genosha that would love to make a case of Xavier giving a wanted international fugitives free run around Genosha.”
“I’ll be there just after midnight,” He said after a moments thought. He wanted to go see his brother immediately but he knew he had to be careful. “Just make sure Alex knows I’m coming.” She nodded and then the dream began to fade out. “Say hello to Hank for me,” He said and saw her flinch a bit.
“I will, say hello to Sam for me,” She said and was gone leaving him waking up in bed feeling Sam’s arms tight around him. He glanced over to see that the other man was awake and he wondered if he’d been talking in his sleep.
“Jean paid me a visit, Alex is alive and in Genosha.” He could tell it shocked Sam but the other man didn’t say anything. “They’ve had him for six weeks and they’ve only just told me he’s alive.” He was still angry about that. “I’ll be going to see him when it’s just after midnight in Genosha.”
“Do you want me to come?” He would like him there but he wasn’t sure how much time he’d have to explain things to his brother. “What about the rest of the team do you want us on standby in case there is trouble?”
“Yes, Jean insist they can keep my visit a secret but its always best to be prepared.” He didn’t regret the decisions that had branded him and his team of X-men out laws but things would be less complicated if he hadn’t had to make them. “I still wish Jean or Xavier had contacted me as soon as they found Alex.”
“Why didn’t they?” Sam asked after a moment. He honestly had no idea how to even begin to explain. “And where has Alex been these last few years?” That was the big question and he had no idea where to even start.
“Apparently he’s been in a coma this entire time,” he said with a frown. “Jean didn’t say where they found him only that she just managed to bring him out of it.” He felt a moment of dread again. “It sounded like the phoenix talking when she mentioned how difficult it was.” He still had reservations about Jean going back down that road as she grew more and more powerful.
Sam had no response just pulled him tighter against him. “Everything will work out,” Sam said even though both of them knew that wasn’t likely. “You should go back to sleep, there’ll be time to prep the team in the morning.”
