There was a mixture of condemnation and acceptance coursing within her. Condemnation for hating Madelyne Pryor's existence. Forced acceptance for acknowledging the clone's existence. She hated the bubbling anger that was felt. The anger. The rage. This was not Jean. This couldn't be the true her she believed herself to be. What if it was? There was no separation between the clone and herself. They were one in the same. ( Maybe? ) It was so confusing which made things harder. Jean, who felt always so sure of who she was, was lost. Wondering. With every movement, every thought, every feeling she questions : How much is it truly Jean Elaine Grey?
" You are an extension of me. " To say it aloud felt abnormal. Wrong. Only one of them was meant to exist but fate had other plans. Could fire and life always coexist? " I wish you didn't exist. " She wanted what was hers. Her memories. The X-Men. Scott. Herself. Jean wanted her life and not to share it with anyone. Always the selfless one in every situation. Why did she have to be selfless with her own existence? " The Goblin Queen. Why did you become her? " Jean needed to know : Is every reiteration of who she is meant to be evil?
