Jean took a slow, measured, breath. She was... it was similar to before, when she’d been between worlds with Alex, but it was... different, too. The important thing was that he was HERE. She could feel him, clear as day. Relief poured through her, and she made her way to the door that he lay behind. It was then that she became aware of blood trickling from her nose, echoing what was happening in the real world. She swiped it away with a hand, and pressed on.

The door was locked... and the longer she was here the more she was certain that Alex had created this space to die. With a flick of her fingers the door unlocked, and she pulled it open and stepped inside.

“Alex?” Her voice was hoarse and raspy, and very soft. It hurt her almost as much to use her voice as it did to use her telepathy, but it didn’t matter. What mattered was Alex. She could deal with the consequences of her actions after.

Uatu was a coward, and the fact that he couldn’t face up to what he’d done only frustrated Jean more. But once he was gone she tucked that away until she saw the bastard again.

She knew he was putting on a façade, that he was trying to put on a brave face for her. She smiled fondly at him; he was trying to get her to go, because he was worried; he thought that he shouldn’t share his burden with anyone else. “No, Alex. I’m staying with you for a bit longer. You shouldn’t have to go through all of this alone.”

She held out her hand.

He reached for her hand, bringing it over to kiss it gently before letting go and telling her, "I really do though. Goodbye, Jean." The light--which he now knew was the Nexus of all realities--gathered in the room and forced her back to the correct world. He hadn't realized he could do that, had been banking on a chance there, but when he saw that it had worked Alex was left wide-eyed and a little afraid. What the hell was he carrying in his head?
