Chapitre 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 find 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 find 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 finding 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 find 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.

Chapitre 539: Gathering

"Jean, do you really feel a connection with this bird?" Charles couldn't help but ask her.

"I don't know what it is, Professor but I feel I have seen this bird before. Maybe in my dreams... I don't remember." Jean said as she couldn't explain if this was really a connection between her and the bird.

John could easily see that they didn't believe his words. Though Charles might be more on the believing side, Erik definitely didn't believe him yet, like a typical paranoid. But it didn't matter. He would be a believer soon.

"Let's leave the bird aside. What do you want to do?" John asked Erik.

"I want to gather all the people in the brotherhood here and launch an attack at the White House. We need to make them pay and release all the mutants that they had held for experimentation." Erik said as he clenched his fist.

John nodded his head as that would be the easiest method to take down the Sentinels.

"Call all the X-men. I think they need to join in this too." John said.

"You know of X-men too." Charles asked.

"I thought I told you that I know many things. Since I know of Mystique it's given that I know of X-men and other such things that have happened in the past." John said as he still found it odd about why these people didn't believe him when he had mentioned so many things of the past.

Charles on the other hand really wanted to pry open his head and see how exactly John knew so many things, but something told him his powers would be null in front of him. Charles, call up everybody in the school to meet up and Erik too would call up all his brothers.

"Umm Mr. Jameson can you really teleport all of them here?" Erik couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah. Just give me their names, and I will teleport them all here." John said. Though Erik felt skeptical he still gave all their names. John looked at the list for a good 2 seconds and then waved his hand.

And then the unprecedented happened. At first Erik was skeptical about his powers and only thought he had powers like Chavez. Chavez had good strength and could travel through dimensions but all in all she wasn't powerful enough to handle the Sentinels.

But John till now had shown powers and things that they couldn't even believe were possible. A living fiery bird which had its own consciousness, teleportation of various forms and even near prophetical views of their world. These things alone were enough to stand on top of the world.

"Maybe he really doesn't need help from his friends." Erik thought.

Meanwhile, the people of the Brotherhood were taken aback by the sudden change of scenery. They were already in fight mode as they thought it was the work of the Sentinels but were relieved to see Erik standing in front of him.

"I know you have many questions. But for now let's go and attend the meeting and all your questions and doubts will be answered."

Later they all appeared in a big classroom. Since there were too many people including the brotherhood and the X-men they needed a larger space so the regular meeting place proved to be too small. As they all gathered at the place, faces of all the mutants were a little bit tense.

This was because all these years, they had been fighting against each other and though they all understood that they needed to be together and fight the Sentinels, old grudges didn't just wash away.

Charles, John and Erik were the last to enter the room and all the mutants present in the room were seated.

"I know that some of you are confused about what happened and some even more puzzled by the fact about how you are brought here. Well, I am here to answer that. This is John Jameson. A mage. Yes, you heard it right. A magician. Not just a hand trick magician but a mage with actual magical powers. And no, it's not mutant X-gene. John Jameson here doesn't even belong to ...."

Charles was the first to speak up and he informed them about what had happened in the past few days and why they had been brought here without taking their consent. Some of the X-men knew what was going on from the very beginning but not all and the mutants of brotherhood had no idea that such a major thing had taken place when their leader was gone.

"So this guy here can help us solve the Sentinel problem?" Logan was the first to ask when Charles finished answering the question. Before Charles could answer John said

"Sentinels are not really a problem. Rather it shouldn't have been a problem. It is the action, or I should say the inaction of the mutants that had led to all of this. You all have been too passive all your life and none of you ever realised the full potential of X-gene."
