Emma Frost's Institute for Gifted Youngsters - The Fates take pity

Parent Chapter

Jean awoke on a clean, white room. In front of her were three women who looked more like glass statues than human beings. Their familiar needles and thread were held in their hardened grips, an eye balanced in one hand. Jean held her breath.

"What happens to me now?" Jean murmured lowly. "I failed. Miserably. Everyone died."

One of the Fates smiled softly and nodded, her glass body sliding gracefully. "True. You did. But, we knew you would. It was, essentially, a setup. There was no way you could have got Emma."

Jean blinked. "W-What?"

The Fate on the right smirked. "You certainly tried, though...and had a little fun with the Scarlet Witch while you were at it. We were a bit morbid when creating that reality, though. I think in our old age we have become cynics."

"So much death and violence," the Fate in the middle moaned. "I think we've forgotten what romance even is!"

"What is going to happen to me?" Jean asked nervously.

"At the end, you came to a realization," the Fate on the left said firmly. "You realized that Emma's happiness was what you really wanted. Is that what you still want?"

Jean quickly nodded. "Yes. I...I just never want to see what I just saw. She was...dying in my arms. My love..."

"Yeah, yeah," the Fate on the right quipped. "We're going to send you somewhere a bit nicer, Jeannie, and give you a fair shot at Emma. As long as you keep her happy, she's yours. How does that sound?"

"A-Amazing," Jean stuttered, surprised that the Fates took so much pity on her...though she was still a bit apprehensive. She didn't have the best record with keeping Emma happy...

"Good luck, Jean! We'll be watching..."
