Chapter 538: Old connection

"It will be fine Eric. I am enough for them. Miss Chavez, will you come with us or do you want to stay here?" John asked.

"Can I stay here? I replace that place very gloomy." Miss Chavez said.

"Hahahha.. Alright.. Peter stay her with them and have a look around the planet. We will be back." John smiled as he said that. He remembered that during the hunt of the Sentinels the settings of the movie turned into the theme of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. So it was better to leave Peter here and let him see around with Andrew.

Too dark.

"Let's leave. " John said as he waved his hands. Soon a portal opened. Like it did when they had first appeared. John and the trio stepped inside the portal. And the next moment they were on the courtyard of the famous school.

The School of mutants and the home of Charles Xavier.

"How did you replace our place so fast? We didn't even tell you the location." Erik was surprised when John brought them directly to the school. He thought John would at least ask for clues of their Earth. But John didn't ask a single word.

"I have cosmic awareness. So replaceing people and places is easier for me." John said. The trio rolled off as they walked to the entrance of the School. The door opened and they all went inside.

As they stepped in, they saw a person walking straight towards them. It was a familiar figure for John. The woman was Jean Grey. The first host of Phoenix.

"Professor, you are back!! I thought it would take you longer to replace support."

Jean finally placed the eyes and looked at the man who had come with the professor and Erik. She could feel a certain kind of connection with the man but she was not sure what exactly it was.

John too could feel that there was a kind of connection between him and Jean and he knew exactly what it was. The Phoenix Force.

The Phoenix came out and sat at the shoulder of John. Everybody was surprised to see a bird coming out of the body. Charles who was going to reply to Jean also saw this scene and stopped. He and Erik had never witnessed such a thing before in all their lives of being a mutant.

"What is this?" Erik couldn't help but ask.

"The Phoenix Force. One of my powers. She is one of the Ancient Gods and is responsible for controlling life force in all of the multiverse and I am her host. Jean here too was once her host. She was actually the first host of her." John said as he gave them a run down of a God.

Hearing this all three were dumbfounded. Even Jean who heard this thought what John said was ridiculous, but somehow when John mentioned that she was host of Phoenix Force, she felt like what John said was the truth.

"It's been a long time, Jean." the bird on the shoulder of John spoke, making the three who listened to John eyes wide open.

"You.. You can talk?" Jean couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I can talk. Didn't he say that I am an Ancient god? Well, not exactly a God but an abstract entity but it will take him more to explain what that means. But it's good to see you again." Phoenix said.

"You know me?" Jean couldn't help but ask. Though John explained in short what the fiery bird was she still found it unbelievable.

"Yeah. As he said, you were my first host. Not in this world. But in 616. Then I had to leave as it proved too overwhelming for you. But that connection between me and you remained. Forever. The connection you are feeling between me and you. This is that call."

Erik and Charles were on the sidelines listening to the ridiculous story. Charles couldn't help but use his powers to look at Jean. Jean had always been a variable for them. She was too powerful.

They almost lost her once when the purge started. Her instability reached its peak and Logan had almost killed her but miraculously she was alive at the end. (yeah I know she was killed in X- men the last stand, but here I am changing it.)

"Is it because of this bird that she has another personality inside her?" Charles couldn't help but think that. Erik on the other hand found it hard to believe. He was already sceptical of the powers of John for handling the Sentinels. He was still banking on the fact that John had his own team on his Earth.

So if the situation turned dire, he could always ask for help from his team. Though this small conversation piqued his interest, he still refused to believe.

What Gods! What host!! Those are all nonsense.
