"Persuade Becket?" Jean asked uncertainly.
Because she was still too young, she didn't know much about what happened back then.
However, Jean saw that her best friend's father was dead, and so was her mother.
She could only watch Becket's heart-wrenching cries, but there was nothing she could do. Until Becket left her. He left X Academy completely.
However, things were different now. Jean was no longer the little girl who could not control her abilities but easily lost control.
Now, she could already grasp the power of the phoenix and help Becket. Why didn't the professor ask her to help Becket, but to persuade him instead? Persuade him to surrender?
For the first time, Jean did not understand Professor X.
"Yes, not only has Becket returned, but he has also become very powerful. We have to persuade him not to hurt others recklessly.”Professor X explained to Jean.
" After the incident with Becket, I swore that I would never give up on any of my students again. However, that incident has always been a sore spot for me. But now, things are different. Becket is back. Not only can we make up for our past regrets, but we can also create a better future.”Professor X seemed to have thought of how Becket and Jean would inherit his ideas and lead the mutated humans to a better future.
He believed that whether it was Becket or Jean, they could do better than him.
However, Professor X did not realize that Becket was no longer the Becket of the past.
After ten years of killing, Becket would never be as kind, trusting, and respectful of life as he was before.
"Alright, Professor, I'll persuade Beckit.”Jean said sadly.
Sometimes, Jean could not understand. With the Professor's strength, if he had been a little tougher, unlike the current situation, the mutated humans would have been in a much better situation.
After all, the organizations that persecuted the mutated humans could try to stop Magneto, but it was difficult to target Professor X.
However, the professor did not do that. Instead, he insisted on his own ideas. He ignored the countless suffering compatriots and wanted to live in harmony with the forces that persecuted the mutated humans.
How was this possible? Those forces would only see Professor's concession as weakness and fear. Then, he started to take advantage of it.
There was nothing wrong with being kind to others, but it also depended on the person! If they were evil, they should reveal their weapons. He wanted to let him know that he was not to be trifled with.
Sometimes, Jean thought that if the Professor and Magneto were on the same side, the mutated humans would be in a much better situation.
After all, no matter how strong Magneto was, he could only destroy a city.
However, the professor could threaten all the ordinary people on Earth. Those high-ranking officials were not afraid of Magneto, but they were afraid of Professor X. This was why, no matter how kind Professor X was, his security level was still high.
Jean didn't quite understand what the professor was doing, but none of that mattered compared to seeing Becket right away.
"This time, I have to protect Becket no matter what. I don't want to lose my only friend again.”Jean made up her mind. She had to protect Becket this time, even if she had to go against the professor. Jean subconsciously felt that Professor wouldn't do anything to Becket.
The professor had just said that Becket had become stronger. However, Becket was only a Level 2 mutated human back then. Even if his experience over the years had made Becket stronger, how strong could he be?
However, she was different. She was one of the few Omega mutated humans on Earth. After all, Professor X and Magneto were only Alfa-level mutants.
The professor had once said that if the power of the phoenix in Jean's body was fully unleashed, even if he and Magneto worked together, they would still be no match for Jean.
However, Jean was unwilling to use this power. She even rejected the power of the phoenix.
But for Becket, Jean was willing to use this power.
Jean walked out of the professor's office full of anticipation. She was very excited when she thought that she would be able to see Becket tomorrow. He couldn't help but smile.
"Hey! Jean, is there anything that makes you happy?”Scott asked Jean.
Scott had joined Academy X a little later than Jean and Becket. Unlike Jean and Becket, who had attended Academy X since they were young, Scott had only awakened his Ability X in high school. He arrived at the Xavier Academy for Prodigy Youths. (This was the case in the original novel.)
Jean naturally did not have a good impression of Scott, who had been trying to get close to her since he came to Academy X.
Ever since Becket went missing, Jean had even sealed her heart for a long time. This was also why, until now, Jean did not have a second friend other than Becket.
