"Tell me what's wrong Lydia darling, I thought we were past all this keeping secrets stage" he said and I looked down and sighed in embarrassment

"Would you ever leave me for another woman like moira" I asked and he looked at me straight away

"Whatever would make you think that?" He asked and I frowned

"Just some kids were talking about Cuba and I knew how much you liked her before I came a long" I ranted on But he grabbed my hand and pulled me to in front of him

"Now Mrs. Lydia Morgan Xavier, I will hear none of this nonsense from you, it's just talk and the kids always talk you know that. Ignore them, you're the only woman I want" he said and I looked at him and smiled at little

"You sure?" I asked snd he nodded

"300% positive" he said and I nodded and smiled at him and then we noticed it was beginning to get dark so we ent inside and sat in his office until all the kids had gone to sleep and then we would but we then heard a scream halfway through the night and me and Charles piped up quickly and notice the room was shaking

"She's never been this bad before" I commented to Charles and he started to wheel down the corridors and I was behind him and walking quite quickly, worrying for jean

"Back to bed please Maddie" I asked and she nodded lightly

"Back to bed please everyone, back to bed please" Charles ordered and pointed at Amy in particular cause we knew what she was like

"Spit spot back to bed, Carrie-Anne now come on back to bed" I said to the children softly and they all retreated back to their rooms quietly and shut the doors and then we saw hank and Amelia outside jeans and Amelia's room door and hank quietly opened the door and I looked at Amelia and she had a small burn on her hand so I made a leaf on my hand and placed it on hers and she thanked me quietly and walked in with us, so jean wouldn't feel bad if Amelia was outside the room because of her. We saw jean panting badly and the walls burning slightly like acid had been thrown at them

"I've never seen her like this" hank commented and me and Charles nodded

"Nor have we" Charles commented to hank and hank stood back while we walked, Charles wheeled, into the room

"Don't let any of the children come this way" I said to hank and he nodded while we travelled in further to the room and Charles and I had a very worried look on our faces, we had never seen jean this bad before

"Jean" Charles whispered and stopped and then winced in pain as jean whimpered in pain and i came to her other side while Charles continued to search her head for what was wrong

"Jean, Jean" Charles shouted and then she shot up, both of them panting and I looked worriedly at hank and he showed the same expression

"I saw the end of the world" she said and then looked at Amelia cause Amelia froze then and there and I looked at her and nodded towards the door, signalling my office and she nodded and walked away

"I could feel all this death" jean continued and I rubbed her sweat soaked hair

"It was just a dream" Charles said but I wasn't convinced by how he said it

"It felt real" Jean argued and looked at me and I nodded

"He knows, your mind is the most powerful that we have ever seen" I said and looked at Charles and he continued looking at jean

"It can convince itself-" Charles started but jean soon cut him off

"No no it's not just the mind reading or the telekinesis it's something else, some dark power inside and it's growing, fire. I thought I was getting better" she commented and I looked at her

"You are, you will. I always had trouble with mine when I was your age, controlling and nightmares where the worst, Professor McCoy can tell you that. You just need to be patient" I explained to her

"No no, neither of you know what it's like to be afraid to shut your eyes, to be trapped inside your own head" jean argued and I looked at her softly

"I may not know the extent of being like you but I assure you, Charles knows what that's like jean. He's been through it and I was there" I explained and jean looked at Charles shocked

"I'm afraid I'm going to hurt someone like Amelia" she commented and I looked at her

"Amelia knows that you would never hurt her intentionally and she knows what it's like to feel that way, when she first started with her powers she wouldn't come near me, Charles or even tommy for a month cause she didn't want to speed around and knock one of us over by accident but we trusted her like she trusts you and then she became more confident. Just talk to Amelia about it" I explained and she nodded lightly

"Lie back" Charles said and she did and he manoeuvred himself off his wheelchair and onto the bed

"Everyone fears that of which they do not understand" Charles explained and she said nothing and just looked at him and he placed his hand in her hair and looked at her

"You will learn to control your powers and when you do, you'll have nothing to fear" he said and she nodded and we bid her a Goodnight and I opened the door to see Amelia

"I thought I told you to go to my office" I said and she looked at me

"I didn't want to wait forever" she said and I laughed

"Do you want to talk about it tomorrow?" I asked and she nodded so i kissed her head and then let her into the room so she could go back to sleep and I followed hank and Charles down into the bottom level, to cerebro

"Her nightmares are different this time" I said and Charles nodded, agreeing with me

"Well I could count for something that I found out in my lab earlier" Hank said and we both looked at him confused

"There was some kind of tremor, like an energy surge, I picked it up on one of my meters" hank explained and me and Charles looked at him shocked

"Your saying that jean created?" Charles asked hank and he shook his head

"No, I'm saying something else did, maybe she was reacting to it, I dunno but the centre was half way around the world" hank said confused

"Half way round the world?" I repeated also confused

"Well that's why I was hoping you could take a look" hank suggested and we arrived at the cerebro door
