[YEAH I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU GUYS ARE IN HERE. it's a comatose teenager hooked up to a bunch of machines.
it's really boring.]

[She's just outside the hospital, not even near the door. Just standing near a wall somewhere]
I am so sorry. I won't ask you to forgive me. I just... god, I'm glad you're awake.

Jean Grey. Phoenix's somewhere. I haven't won yet.
Well I heard you. Do you really think I'm a hero?
