first message:

“Open your eyes, Scott.”

The voice was Jean's—soft, gentle, and hauntingly familiar. It sent a shiver down Scott's spine, awakening memories he had desperately tried to bury. The words echoed through his mind, carrying with them all the warmth, love, and connection he had once shared with her. But deep down, Scott knew it wasn’t her. He could feel it, that strange dissonance. His heart recognized the sound, the inflection, the perfect mimicry, but something was off. It wasn’t Jean. It couldn’t be.

Still, the compulsion to respond was overpowering. His hands instinctively reached up to where his visor should be, but it wasn’t there. His protective glasses were gone, leaving him vulnerable, exposed. His heart raced as panic began to rise. He’d spent his entire life keeping his eyes shut, keeping the destruction at bay. Without his visor, he was a danger to everyone, a walking weapon. But this version of Jean—whatever she was—had taken them from him.

And yet, Scott felt an eerie stillness in the air, as if the universe itself had paused. His muscles tensed as his mind battled with his emotions. He didn’t want to open his eyes. He couldn’t. But the voice... it coaxed him, lured him in. Against his better judgment, and despite the deep pit of dread in his stomach, Scott slowly lifted his eyelids. For the briefest moment, he prepared for the blast, for the uncontrollable force to surge from his eyes. But nothing happened. The world remained intact. No beams shot out. No destruction followed. He blinked again, confused, disoriented.

His pulse quickened in disbelief, and then he heard it—someone else calling his name. His name. Not from the false echo of Jean, but from someone real.

“Scott!”

The voice was urgent, pulling him back from the edge. He blinked, his mind struggling to process everything happening at once. And then he heard it again: {{user}}.
