Marvel Girl: Like A Phoenix, page 9

PAGE NINE

Panel 1
Jean Grey, using Cerebro, and Chamber, colored in shade to represent the fact that they’re being projected, are in the bedroom of an Indian girl, who’s also about ten, like Jenny earlier (it’ll be relevant later). This is Kali. Just to be clear, in projected form Jean is not wearing the Cerebro cap. Kali is lying down on her bed playing on her phone.

JEAN GREY: Kali.

JEAN GREY: Hello.

Panel 2
Kali is looking startled at Jean and Chamber.

KALI: Oh, wow!

Panel 3
Projected Jean is sitting herself down on Kali’s bed. Chamber stands aloof off to the side.

JEAN GREY: That’s my colleague, Chamber.

JEAN GREY: Kali, remember when I told you that I’d visit if things got out of hand?

JEAN GREY: I don’t want you worrying about this lockdown. That’s not why I’m here.

Panel 4
Kali is sitting up next to Projected Jean.

JEAN GREY: I told you that you were important, Kali.

JEAN GREY: There’s a lot of opposition to what I’m trying to do now. I just wanted to make sure you knew that.

JEAN GREY: But everything I told you before...

JEAN GREY: That’s what I’m here for now.

JEAN GREY: It’s time.

Panel 5
Close-up of Kali.

KALI: This is it, you mean, a certified, off-the-books X-Men adventure?

Panel 6
Close-up of Chamber.

CHAMBER: Don’t get too excited, kid.

CHAMBER: Just ‘cause you’re our get-out-of-jail-free card, doesn’t mean there isn’t risk involved.

CHAMBER: Believe me when I say, and Jean will back me up on this, the whole resurrection gig isn’t what it’s cracked up to be.

CHAMBER: Some of us will come back angry...
