Thanks.

I know lots of people interpret their relationship as something done for appearances, or based on inertia more than love. I disagree. I think they loved each other very much, but as the years went by, they did not know how to change the rhythm of their relationship to changing circumstances.  Scott did not know how to express the new thoughts and feelings in his head, so deathly afraid Jean would reject him. She did not know how to bring it out of him, and communication fell apart. I think their new experiences actually make provide a better foundation this time around, should they get back together.

Scott is still hopelessly in love with her. There is no question about that. Jean’s feeling are still there as well, but mixed with confusion and frustration. I have no problems accepting her original reactions to finding out about Xavier’s death. Add to that, he is a huge connection to a fate she desperately wants to escape, and she is doing anything she can to stay out of the box it puts her in.

I think Scott is going to be a man who can appreciate the spontaneity of life better, this time around. He is developing relationships that require more emotion out of him. The adventures he will have with his dad are going to be a tremendous boon for him. They are a solid development piece he missed the first time around. I will probably live a little vicariously through him as I read those issues.

X-23 might get romantic, but I don’t see that as a long term status. I see those two growing to be very close friends. I can’t minimize the importance of him developing a deep camaraderie with a female who he is not sexual with.

The shock of finding out what life had in store for him was brutal, but the events that followed it up are going to make him a better man than than he was before. Nix that. It will make him a less emotionally broken man, who has a clear image of who he is without the word X-Man being attached.

This time, Jean won’t grow up with the halo around her head.

Remember when we were kids and you used to complain about me following you around and I’d say that you were stuck with me? Well you won’t be much longer. I don’t know what it is…they won’t tell me what and telepathy…hurts. So I guess writing will have to work.

Is this the part where I impart my sisterly wisdom? Like stay away from box sushi or that most bad things things that will happen happen on Tuesday? Well I don’t think I have any. I hope I was a good sister, that I kept you safe. You’re going to have to do that yourself soon.

Don’t let Dad get to you okay? You guys are way too alike to even know it. Trust me on this. Mom knows it too. And don’t take life too seriously okay? If you’re not going to do it for you do it for me.

Getting sleepy now, they put something in my IV I think. Part of me hopes that you’ll be here when I wake up and we can laugh at this giant mistake. But I don’t think so….bye baby brother.

Pros When you are your correct age... 

No strings attached is occasionally fun.

You understand what it's like to have weird white hair like I do naturally.

Telepathy never hurts.

Cons:

You are temporarily a child.

You're a Summers and I don't have the best luck with Summers men.
