Title - Jean Grey: The Ultimate Mutant | Chapter 2 | Female MC

[3rd POV]

As Jean had thought this, her eyes widened as head began to be assaulted by an incredible, searing pain. The sort of paint that would shatter the minds of weaker people, but Jean was not weak. 

She grit her teeth in agony as she held her head, as she began to hear…everything. Every thought of every person not just on Earth, every dark thought, every hint of anger, sadness, everything. It was…awful. 

The room that Jean was within shook as she grit her teeth, only holding on thanks to sheer willpower. She grit her teeth as she focused the best she could on filtering out the minds of the entire human race, focusing on herself and blocking them all out. She breathed in deeply as she clenched her fists until they bled, trying her best to control her power. 

She began to focus on her own heartbeat, breathing in deep and breathing out, as she slowly began to regain control over her power, focusing on herself, regaining control. 

As she finally stopped hearing the thoughts of literally everyone in the world, she slowly opened her eyes, the pain receding as she sighed.

”That…was…terrible” Jean muttered to herself, gripping the bed and pulling herself up, only to blink as she glanced at the bed, eyes widening as she realized it was now…well, made of solid gold. 

“Ah…crap” Jean said to herself, looking at it as she realized she had accidentally warped the matter of the bed, warping it into complete solid gold. 

“Um….maybe I just need to use intent and will to change it back?” Jean muttered to herself, stretching her hand out and breathing in, closing her eyes as she began to focus, imagining the bed as it was before. 

A second later, she reopened her eyes, smiling excitedly as it was back to normal like she didn’t just accidentally turn it into gold. 

”Huh…maybe gaining control over this will be easier than I had initially thought” Jean said with a small smile on her face, as she looked down at her hand that had warped the matter of the bed like it was nothing. 

Glancing around, Jean stretched slightly before muttering to herself. 

“Now, let's see where I’m at”

At the same time, within the underground area of a mansion, a bald headed man had sweat caking his figure, as he panted. A device tossed to the side as the yells of others echoed in the large room. 

“Professor?! Are you okay!?” A blue skinned man asked, a man with fur and a rather “Beast” like appearance. 

“I-I’m alright Hank. But…it would seem that a new mutant has awoken” The bald headed man said, as Hank looked at him with wide eyes. 

“But professor, if you had such a reaction just to the awakening to a mutant, that would mean…”

”I am not quite sure who it is, Hank. I cannot find their signature anymore. But…they are far and away the most powerful mutant I have ever sensed in all my years of living. It’s…it’s akin to comparing the flames of the sun to a match” The Professor, aka Xavier said, breathing deeply as he remembered the power that rippled throughout the world, effortlessly breaking into his mind as if he was nothing more than a simple worm.

”We must find them before Magneto does, correct?” Hank asked, wondering what to do. 

“Yes, yes. We must. If…if he was to get his hands on this power…I fear for the human race as a whole”

In another area, a gorgeous blonde haired woman leaned against a wall, panting as pain echoed throughout her head. She was older in age than Jean, and was…drop dead gorgeous. With plump lips, a seductive, alluring body, impressive assets, a tall, 5’10 figure, all culminating in an incredibly seductive form, practically a Goddess in human skin. 

This woman was…Emma Frost. 

Emma had felt it, the power of Jean as it rippled through the world, effortlessly breaking into her mind just as easily as it had with Xavier. She couldn’t even block the “attack” as it had ripped right through all defenses she had, laying her bare, and she hated it. 

“What Pant was Pant that!” Emma growled, fury in her eyes as she remembered the power. The way it felt, and she hated that it felt…warm. It wasn’t the bad kind of warm, but the overwhelming, almost love type of warmth. 

“…Whoever you are, I will find you!” Emma said, anger in her eyes at being so effortlessly defeated as she was. 

Well, this was her thoughts…for now. 

___________________________

Back with the completely oblivious Jean, she was realizing the situation she was in at the moment, as she sat in an apartment alone. She was in the small living room of the apartment after walking around, finding that the apartment was one bedroom, one bathroom. 

”…So my parents are dead? I live alone thanks to some inheritance they had left me and getting emancipated. And I am currently enrolled into Midtown high school?” Jean muttered to herself, wondering if this was a blessing or curse. 

“Well…I guess I can at least live in comfort for now. Making money will be easy enough, and then I can start traveling the world or buy out my own property to live peacefully while I train” Jean said to herself, not really interested in the idea of going to high school…again. She had already completed it in her past life, but only recently, and she really wasn’t interested in doing so again. 

Instead, she wanted to either buy out a property or travel. She could then use that to train and master her power without fear of harming anyone else, as well as prepare for when the Phoenix would inevitably come for her. 

She wouldn’t fight the phoenix, as she knew it was pointless. So she would just have to do her best to prepare herself for her responsibility and power it would provide her. 

“I’ve also gotta avoid the X-Men for now, as I am…not interested in Xavier trying to mind fuck me or anything. That man has a bad tendency for that sort of thing” Jean said, remembering the comics in which the man did some…less than okay things involving the mind. And her comic self was one of the targets of those situations. 

“Same with the Brotherhood and the Hellfire club. Although…I can’t say I’d mind meeting Emma” Jean said, remembering the blonde and how insanely attractive she was even in the comics. She also thought it was cute that the woman wanted to be a teacher more than anything, and she’d love to help her if she could. 

It didn’t help that the woman could actually help her train in her powers, and she trusted her more than she did Xavier, weirdly enough. 

“Now the real question is whether or not I should just drop out and make some cash before leaving, or I graduate early and use that time to train my powers enough to make some cash safely without harming anyone” Jean hummed, wondering which would be a better option. 

She’d rather not make someone brain dead by accident, and draw the attention of SHIELD, even if they couldn’t do jack against her, it’d just be the annoying aspect that would make her want to avoid them. 

Glancing at the time, Jean let out a sigh as she got to her feet, one thought on her mind. 

‘For now though…let’s get to school’

That’s the end of the chapter!

Emma is guaranteed to be a love interest, albeit one with a bit of an age gap between the two of them, so it’ll have to come once she’s 18-19, aka a more appropriate age for that sort of thing.

This was a short one, basically just showing Jean’s reactions as well as some other parts of the world. 

Should I do a timeskip after she dips from New York for a bit, or go slow for this one? If I do a timeskip, she’ll be meeting Emma sooner, but just wondering!

Anyways, have a good day!
