memories were such a sick, sick joke. they never truly felt real : [ your mind playing tricks on you. ] being lab formed, peoples memory bank inside your own head to seem as real as any other mutant. at one point, you didn't care because they were nothing more than pawns of an endgame but as you matures, realized how much of a violation this was. it was interesting though : [ considering what your power is. ] a telepath. someone who has a hivemind. able to read minds and control others. you know what it's like to be violated yet have the capability of doing it to other people. it was a weird thought that always left her baffled.
" I DON'T LIKE MY MEMORIES. " she reflects on so many of them. the ones of the lab, of sophie's death, the phoenix. they were cruel and vile. they made her skin crawl in agony. the girls often disregarded them, used as much of their power to block them out as they could but they all asserted their own will power. some believing they needed it to form their own identities and others wanting to ignore it. regardless, your mind was constantly screaming between yourself and the girls trying to decide which was the right course to take, if any. " I FEEL LIKE I'M TRAPPED IN MY OWN MIND. "
@mindflare 💎 x
you recognize that feeling intimately—— it's like staring into a mirror, only to find someone else's reflecting staring back. ALWAYS SLIGHTLY OFF / ALWAYS WRONG. memories, fragments that don't quite belong, pieces of a life you didn't fully live—— but still carve their marks into the depths of your soul. her words are like glass shards threatening to cut deep if you get too close; from all you've been through, you should be able to offer her some solace. [at minimum, some wisdom.] but, the truth is, you understand her pain far too well. you're just as trapped yourself.
it's not just a feeling, it's a state of existence—— FOR HER / FOR YOU. lab-born, phoenix-risen, two sides of the same cruel coin. ❝ you're not alone, celeste. ❞ the words don't feel like enough; they never do. you swallow the build-up of saliva in your throat, breath becoming hitched momentarily as you seek the proper words. anything to subdue the brewing paradox of the mind. making your way around the desk inside your office, you stop once you're in front of her, palms of your hands moving to rest gently on her shoulders.
❝ memories can't define you, though. not unless you allow them. you're more than them, and i know you know that. ❞
Hi friends
Bambi said earlier she’s serving face even while in death, and I have to agree!!!!

will you tell me the honest truth about something?
you hear the plea before you turn your head, a faint tremor in the air reaches you like a whispered ripple before the wave breaks. your office—— once a sanctuary of stillness, a space where you could retreat into the calm hum of the xavier institute's corridors, suddenly feels fuller. it's not the walls that close in around you, but the presence behind you; betsy.
her demeanor is fragile and heavy—— you can feel her pressing against your consciousness like an urgent pulse. soft, but thrumming. you pause, just long enough to allow the weight of her request to settle into the marrow of your bones. the truth. it always comes down to that, doesn't it? honesty—— the way it cuts through everything like a scalpel, clean but often brutal. the irony isn't lost on you—— how you, of all people, have wrestled with the weight of truth. OF WHAT IT COSTS TO KNOW AND SHARE IT. you inhale slowly, turning your head at last, cultivated compassionate eyes meeting hers. it's almost too natural, bridging others' pain and your own. a balancing act of carrying the burdens of others while you tremble beneath the surface. but, she needs you now—— if not by how she stormed into your office, but by the urgency in her voice.
❝ of course, betsy. ❞ the weight behind those three words feels vast, extending past all the things seen / all the truths you've learned to carry. you sit up straighter, the leather chair creaking beneath you. head tilting to the side, you reach out mentally—— the echoes of her pain radiating. tendrils of uncertainty and doubt. it resides with her like a bruise. the hand may no longer hold her nor wield her as a weapon, but the shadows left behind still cling to her like a cloak, staining the edges of her consciousness like dark ink spreading throughout the water. EVERYONE WANTS HONESTY UNTIL THEY RECEIVE IT. some people crack under the pressure (you surely did) and there's a part of you—— a deep, guarded corner of your mind—— that remembers when you uttered the same plea. drowning as the phoenix. a breath is released through your nose, almost in resignation before folding your hands in your lap.
❝ i won't hide anything from you. any questions you have, i'll answer. and if i don't know the answers, i swear to you, we will figure them out together. ❞

one of the biggest reasons i chose to write jean is the sheer depth of her compassion? it's been a while since i've written a character whose compassion is intrinsic to who they are, and jean has really been a breath of fresh air for me! even with all the power she's held, the phoenix force, etc etc—— jean's empathy has always been her one true strength. she doesn't have to be the loudest voice in the room or the leader of the x-men to show it either! jean just sees people in all their complexity (yes, partially due to her mutant abilities) but because she, of all people, knows pain on a level most can't fathom.

half psychic is better than not psychic at all.
maybe we'll just call you 'highly intuitive'.
can you stay on the line?
you know, there's such a thing as looking too long.
i must have lost track of time.
i'll drink while you tell me things.
it's almost like ____ was never there at all.
you didn't call to say goodnight.
even veals grow a little, and they grow up in a box with their legs all tied up.
i spent the day at home. where else would i be?
i'm okay. i just can't sleep.
i saw more than my fair share of nasty stuff.
i think i just need to be quiet for a little bit.
somebody's birthday is coming up.
be careful they don't work you too hard, alright?
are you still saying your prayers?
you're not afraid of a little bit of dark because you are the dark.
i've seen you before.
you've been to my house.
it's like a long dream, and so dark. a world of dark.
do you remember coming here?
what aren't you telling me?
when was the last time you talked to your mother?
will you tell me the honest truth about something?
i never said my prayers, never once. they scared me.
all our prayers don't help us. prayers don't do a goddamned thing.
nobody ever came to visit. no family, no strangers, no big bad wolves. not anybody.
you're not a child because you were allowed to grow up.
this is a cruel world, especially for the little things. not all of them are allowed to live.
i might have forgotten everything i could, but i never threw anything away.
you really don't remember?
now you're free, too.
i'm just a friend of a friend.
i'm doing this for you. just like i've always done.
don't call me that.
i can do anything i want to, baby.
there's a pointed glance over your shoulder, growing irritation made visible by the sudden narrowing of your eyes. ❝ wade. ❞ your voice is a plea—– it was already enough of a struggle getting him through the double front doors of the x-mansion. [not to mention, the array of promises you made on his behalf to not destroy something. or kill someone.] you understand the feeling of loneliness—— feeling afloat in the ocean, unable to reach any destination or safeguard. some might view it as total freedom; a mimic of his words, but in pure totality of the greatest form. it does sound pleasant at first, but as time continues onward, the more lonely a person can become.
twisting your head around forward, you lead him further down the barren hall of the institute before reaching your office. ❝ out there, you can do whatever you want. while you're here, though, you're my guest. i'm the host, and what i say goes. ❞ with a twist of the door knob, you enter the room, leaving the door open enough for him to trail behind.
❝ you never did say why you wanted to visit in the first place—— i can't offer you a team-up right now if that's what you're looking for. things have been surprisingly quiet for the last few months. ❞
this was their burden to suffer in this unfortunate life. to face all the consequences of their past and atone for their actions. it was no easy path and rather a lonely one throughout the years. hardly anyone could really understand the position they were consistently put in. the trajectory of their lives were laid before them and there was really no changing it. [ ... ] they were fated to a damned existence.
emotions were running high but in the most sincere and empathetic way possible. you bare witness to the challenges that jean faces both between the world and herself. [ ... ] so how could nat not hold a tender spot in her heart for the mutant? the sweeping adoration she held for her came so swift and all at once. there was no doubting the emotions [ a denial of love ] they shared.
" WOULD YOU CHANGE IT? " natalya witnesses the pain in her own eyes every morning when looking in the mirror. was she any better than the weapon that was forged all those years ago? if it wasn't for all the tragedy, all the pain, you wouldn't be in this very moment. everyone that you forged a bond with, they'd [ most likely ] cease to exist. was sacrificing them for a life of non-guilt worth it? " ANY OF IT? " a thumb brushes over the jean's hand, a soft feature resting on her face, " WOULD YOU GIVE ALL OF THIS UP IF IT MEANT NOT LIVING WITH THESE MISTAKES? "
@mindflare ⧖ i'm forever haunted by my mistakes.
it's the million-dollar question—— would you change it? would you change the past, and unravel every mistake you've made to finally attain atonement? to paint the picture of your guilt, the canvas must be visible to all: YOU NEVER ASKED FOR THE PHOENIX FORCE. you, instead, had been cursed with it; you were a chosen one. the thing often forgotten about chosen ones is: they usually never have a choice from the very beginning. their destiny is written amongst the stars long before their births—— yours had been. the phoenix force was a cosmic entity, a parasite attached to your mind and skeleton, claiming your flesh as its residence and mind as host. the hellfire club did that to you. with their manipulation came the birth of the phoenix, as well as the deaths of many. more than 5 billion to be exact. their blood coats your hands and you know you'll never be freed of the guilt—— even as a victim. you're still the one who did it; you will always be the phoenix. as a consequence of your actions, you died. sentenced yourself to death, both as a martyr and as a sinner.
and then you learned, it ultimately didn't matter. THE CYCLE OF WAR NEVER CHANGES—— you've been brought back enough times to see it over time. you sacrificed yourself so the phoenix force couldn't destroy anything else, but you aren't the only destroyer of worlds. people themselves are just as bad. your wife's question draws evident discomfort, your features scrunching in response. with a finalized painted canvas of thoughts, you exhale a long sigh—— your fingers move to interlock with nat's, seeking out a form of comfort. ❝ that's really tough to answer. in so many ways, the phoenix force has shaped me—— made me into the woman i am today. ❞ made me the wife you are capable of being—— in sickness and health, until death do you part. [it has yet to take you away, but it does leave the question: the day it does, will she stay by your graveside? you can only hope so.]
but suddenly, the reality settles back inside your bones. ❝ but... i hurt a lot of people—— i've killed so many people. ❞ you can't even force the number up your throat, through your opened mouth. if you do, you'll choke in agony and decide to fling yourself into another sun. the guilt is too much to bear. you tilt your head to the side, considering your next words carefully—— as if they're life or death in the making. like karma will strike if you choose the wrong one. YOU'VE HAD IT HAPPEN MORE TIMES THAN NOT.
❝ i really don't know, nat. i'm scared that i don't—— what does that say about me? the type of person i've become? ❞
