Scott got up before sunrise. He was always a morning person. Did this in order to train alone in the danger room. But today especially, was a day that for him would be totally different from the others. A strange day and somewhat, dark. A day without happy or hot emotions.


~ | A single rose left to remember. As a single tear falls from her eye | ~


He walked to the mansion’s garden, where he found several flowers of almost all colors and types. He took one in particular and that reminded him of old memories. It was a red rose just like her hair.


~ | Another cold day in December *. A year from the day she said goodbye | ~


His steps were not rushed. He knew exactly what he was going to find in front of him. Target: cemetery. He took a deep breath and then entered. He had been there only on the day they buried her, exactly a year ago. A little further on, a grave... Jean Grey-Summers’s grave.

"She will rise again." It was write on her gravestone. He even asked to write this, after all, he wanted to believe in such words.

"Just words, huh?" He said, looking at the gravestone "Again, forgive me for everything, Jean." He asked, as if he could talk to her. A few months ago, Phoenix had risen Jean, but the redhead saved everyone, sacrificing herself again. "I hope to see you soon." He smiled, saying goodbye and depositing the flower on the ground.


~ | It seems it's only been a moment since the angels took him from her arms | ~


He remembered exactly the last time he had her in his arms. It was not in a hug, either after a night of love... Jean was dying and he couldn’t do nothing. "Live, Scott! Live! All I ever did was die on you." What else could he expect from the woman who had loved him more than life itself? Jean then smiled, her green eyes without enough force, closed.

Scott returned to reality when sighed deeply, looked up and stared at the cloudy sky. The cold wind touched his face and then he smiled. He felt her presence there, near him like never before. And knew exactly that she would always be with him. Forever.


~ | She was left there. Holding on to their tomorrow | ~

A year ago, after being killed by Xorn, the redhead opened her eyes right on the brightness in the White Hot Room and appeared with the white and gold Phoenix costume, being consulted by the same consciousness as a White Phoenix of the Crown. Jean felt she "had to fix something that was dying." Phoenix awareness told her that there was a seriously injured orphan universe. And that would be a job for the Phoenix. Meeting with other avatars of the Phoenix, Grey was urged to leave her universe die.


~ | But as they lay him in the ground. Her heart would sing without a sound | ~

"If I were you, I would just let him die." Someone told her. How? She could not just let him die. Jean decided then that would heal him. With some guidance Phoenix awareness, Jean puts her universe in the palm of her hands and decides to create a new future, prompting Scott to continue the Xavier’s school and accept the proposal from Emma Frost.

"Oh, Scott live..." She squinted strongly.


~ | For the first time you can open your eyes and see the world without your sorrow. Where no one knows the pain you left behind. | ~

"Live!" Tears were rolling down her face, finding her mouth where she could feel the bitter taste of the pain she felt for his words. But nothing mattered to her except the happiness of the X-Men and from the eternal love of her life. Two green orbs open, finding a healed future.


~ | And all the peace you could never find, it's waiting there to hold and keep you. Welcome to the first day of your life. Just open up your eyes| ~

And once again, it was done! She had saved them once more among many other times. Scott began a new life next to Emma and ahead of the Institute. However, the X-Men through a lot during the recent times. Dynasty M. The mansion destroyed. The new home of the X-Men with the name of Utopia. The birth of a new mutant that would be the salvation of the species. The fight between Cyclops and Wolverine, which culminated in the group separation. The Institute Jean Grey. Avengers vs. X-Men. Phoenix Five. The death of Professor Xavier, Logan ... deaths and more deaths, but with new mutant births. Cyclops was right.


~ | A single lifetime lays behind him| ~

And when everyone thought it was over, here comes Cyclops as Phoenix! He had kept an egg of the same without anyone knowing. And in order to defeat Dr. Doom, Scott faces him. But he was not powerful enough. No one could stop him.


~ | As he draws his final breath| ~

Cyclops realized that this would be his last minutes alive. With a sarcastic smile, Destine stuck in Scott's neck, killing him shamelessly. His body was slowly softening and consciousness leaving.


~ | Just beyond the door he'll find her | ~

He felt some twinges that began in the feet and went to his head. He let out a groan and only then awakened. The combined glow with white color was hurting his eyes, but he soon got used to them. The two bright orbs that stared caught his attention. He stared at her in a mixture of surprise and happiness.


~ | Taking her hand she softly says | ~

"I did not lie when I said that you was going to reach my hand when you die." She smiles to him, squeezing further her hand on his, while the other was against the display he used, removing it. "You don’t need it here."


~ | For the first time you can open your eyes and see the world without your sorrow. Where no one knows the pain you left behind. | ~

Gradually he was losing the fear and finally opened his eyes. After gazing at the Jean Scott looked around. Everything was white and gold. Then he stared at the redhead again. He was dead and now finally beside her.


~ | All the peace you could never find it's waiting there to hold and keep you. Welcome to the first day of your life. Just open up your eyes| ~

And everything bad and sad that happened in his life, was in the past. Jean smile that he knew too, became his equilibrium. She leaned over and touched her lips to his. Scott let a tear escape. The kiss was quick but full of love.


~ | As I lay you down tonight. Safe on the other side | ~

While Jean helped him get up, he realized he was wearing a completely white outfit. They went to a place where several avatars of the Phoenix worked: Taking care of Universes. They all had the same classic Phoenix uniform, on the green and golden color. But Jean was the only one to use the white and gold, reaching the stage of divine authority: the White Phoenix of the Crown. Scott knew that he couldn’t be more protected than that.

"I want you to see something." She told him, and then a door into pure gold opened ... His eyes widened and a smile formed on his lips.


~ | No more tears to cry | ~

 Several people talked excited. All, without exception, dressed in white. Later on, were his former teammates.


~ | For the first time you can open your eyes and see the world without your sorrow. Where no one knows the pain you left behind. | ~

Professor Xavier, Banshe, Thunderbird, Wolverine... Even the parents of Jean, Elaine and John Grey, her sister Sarah and the children... They were all there, including Scott's mother, Katherine Summers.


~ | All the peace you could never find. He's waiting there to hold and keep you. | ~

Scott looked delighted to Jean. She showed him an accomplice simple and in that moment, fear and pain that could still exist in it was gone. This was not a dream nor nightmare. It was real!
The redhead reached out to him, laced his fingers with hers and squeezed hard, walking hand in hand closer to the others. Now he was there, where he really should be ... Along those in which he loves and beside the eternal love of his life: Jean Grey-Summers.


~ | Welcome to the first day of your life. Just open up your eyes | ~
