Marvel: I am Phoenix

"He's bald."

"Oh. Well, anything will work."

Dr Strange waved in a circular pattern, and a portal to the gates of X-mansion appeared.

"After you."

Just as I stepped out with Dr Strange and Wong following behind, Wong having a serious expression and scrutinizing me, I felt Xavier trying to reach my mind—

'Don't even try...'

I flipped off my switch of telepathy, and reflected off his thoughts by imagining a mirror covering my whole mind, with the opaque side protecting my mind.

Dr Strange muttered, "Stop that. You are going to hurt many like this."

Huh?

I looked at Wong, who huffed and portal'ed away.

I switched off my telepathy.

By imagining mirror, did I reflect others' minds too?

We entered the mansion, and Xavier came out.

"Jean. Dr Strange."

Strange came forward and said, "This girl said that you brainwashed her?"

"Brainwash!? No. I had to lock away her memories of her family after the Snap, because the trauma hurt not only her, but a lot of people in the neighborhood. Everyone turned into vegetables.

Right now, the kids were hurt. Their minds started reflecting against each other..."

Oh.

Dr Strange said, "I understand. But I need your hair, hair from your arms will do, to remove whatever you did to her. I believe that her talents will be wasted here."

"Look, I know that you have experience with superpowers. You saved the world along with the Avengers. But, this is different. It's a mutation. She is just like me. We both have telepathy. So I believe I can train her given my experience.

Jean. I apologise for what I did. Will you give me a second chance—"

"No."

"... Alright. You have my number. If you ever have any trouble, contact me anytime. Let me undo whatever—"

"No. I don't want you inside my mind. Just let Dr Strange do it."

Somehow, I could even feel his emotions without wanting to.

He felt hurt. Sad. Sad that I lost all trust I had of him.

...Telepathy is worse than I imagined.

Xavier removed his coat, and unbuttoned his sleeve. Dr Strange pulled out a hair, and did some magic on us.

And suddenly, world came crashing down to me.

"Urrrgggghhhh..."

I could feel so many voices, that it hurt. It hurt my head.

I felt as if my head was splitting open.

"Jean—"

"Shut up!"

I shouted, and Xavier flew away.

Calm down! Calm down! Calm down!

Thankfully, Dr Strange used his cape and it saved Xavier.

"Let's go somewhere quiet."

Dr Strange opened a portal to Sanctum, and I jumped in.

Suddenly, it was quiet.

Peaceful.

Calm.

The portal behind me shut down after Dr Strange entered too.

As I got up, Wong was looking at me with scrutinizing gaze.

He handed me a book.

It was in Greek.

"Umm..."

Wong coughed.

"You wouldn't know Greek huh?"

"No..."

"It's the book on Phoenix.

In ancient times, a Greek sorcerer encountered Phoenix. So, the only information we have about it is of around 3000 years ago.

According to the author, Phoenix is the god of Rebirth. The being who creates life out of ashes of dead.

Of dead universe. Phoenix gave re-birth to our universe in its previous death.

And if you really are an avatar of THE Phoenix, it means that our universe is headed towards its death cycle.

I wouldn't trust everything from this book, as a lot of ancient books are exaggerated, but with the Infinity Stones which held our universe together gone, the possibility is rather high."

...

"When is it? 10 billion years from now on?"

"We don't know."

Wong is giving me tension...

Well, anyway! It looks like Xavier even put some sort of cap on my telepathic abilities.

Thankfully, it doesn't seem like he brainwashed me in any other things, well aside from making me forget my family.

...I need to meet with my family, but I need to have a place to stay where I can practice my powers without hurting anyone.

Especially my own family.

I turned to Dr Strange, "Can I stay here to practice my powers, so that I don't hurt anyone?"

"Well, Sanctum doesn't have the policy to reject—"

"Uhm uhm!"

Wong cleared his throat, and said, "You should ask me. I am the Sorcerer Supreme."

Oh. I totally forgot.

"Can I stay here, Wong-sama?"

"I am not Japanese."

"Sorry. Ch-"

"I am Tibetan."

Oh. But doesn't Wong seem like more of a Chinese surname?

"Can I stay here to practice my powers, so that I don't hurt anyone, Sorcerer Supreme Wong?"

"You can. In fact, it's better if you stay here instead of that bald guy—"

Aren't you also bald?

"I am not bald. Shaving your head, and being bald, are completely different."

Can he read my mind or something?

He looked at me with disapproval, and then looked at Dr Strange.

"You are in-charge of her. Report if anything abnormal happens."

Saying that, he portal'ed away.

...I need to learn how to use portal. It's really cool...

I turned to Dr Strange.

"So... how can I stop hearing other people's voices, and not hurt people accidentally? I want to meat my family. They should have returned from the blip."

So, my training started.

With Dr Strange punching my soul out of my body.
