    Summary

    Scott finds that, at times, it’s hard for him to walk.

    His legs are reduced to spaghetti noodles, and it’s a well-known fact that you can’t walk on spaghetti.

    But he tries anyway.

    The floor creaks awkwardly under his weight. All he wants is a glass of water, but the mansion punishes him for it. It would’ve punished him no matter what.

    He feels like a ghost. The children, the young mutants who—once upon a time—looked up to him, retreat when they see him coming. Like his misery is contagious. He tries to smile at them but it’s impossible, and they can tell. They know.

    Jean Grey may be nothing more than a spirit, but it’s Scott Summers who’s dead.

    Following the events of Alkali Lake, Scott isn’t feeling like himself. Unfortunately, when you’re blinded by grief, it’s everyone else who seems off.

    Took some liberties with this. The only movies that are explicitly canon are X1 and X2.
