Three days after her arrival, Emma really just wants something to punch. Granted, she's heard Jean Grey's around and Jean would do nicely, but she's not about to actively seek that bitch out, not in this lifetime or any other. She would much rather keep to herself.

"I am not your dear," Jean replies coolly. She knows that avoiding Emma forever is not a likely possibility on an island of a certain size and limited population.

But it's still a nice thing to wish for. Buttoning the bottom buttons of her green cardigan, she smiles tightly. "I'm well past gloating, Emma. That sort of thing is for children."

Not slutty mistresses who needed to make her ex husband happy lest the world end. They don't count.

"And you're certainly not one of those now, are you?"

It's all been cleared up - inasmuch as that's at all possible, of course - the whole business of different times, but Emma can't help being pleased to find Jean's the one further down the line now.

It is amazing how quickly her patience with the blonde former telepath begins to wear thin. She's not about to crack and give in to the mild picking that is happening, but part of her wants to make Emma suffer.

Jeans knows exactly which part that it is and why it is cheering her on. Resisting temptation, she folds her arms across her chest. "No. I'm not. But someone has to be the adult around here."

"Well, we all know you're more mature," Emma says, nodding in an offhand way. She's watching closely, though, inspecting Jean for any little sign she's getting to her. With or without her powers, she's good at reading people, but Jean's always a cipher. "How is it even the mighty Phoenix finds herself stranded somewhere like this?"

She's not looking for a fight, but then again, she can't say she'd mind if one found her.
