Just a mortal

Summary:

Peter died under the bullet of the punisher, and Jean, who witnessed everything, suffered a mental breakdown. Her lax control gave the director of the disaster control bureau an opportunity to turn things around.

But this man would never have imagined where the Phoenix's uncontrollable power would take her to where——

Jean went back in time, before meeting Peter Parker, before she had offended beyond forgiveness.

(Okay, I know this is a stretch, but I really want to see it. CB and CP are both fine—I just want to see two lonely, destitute people finding comfort in each other.

I'm not a native English speaker, so this fic was written with the help of translation tools and my own proofreading, so there might be errors.)

Chapter Text

In that warm little room, when May held Jean Grey in her arms, tears finally flowed down her face. Spider Man - that ordinary boy named Peter Parker, with a face full of wounds, looked at her firmly.

At that time, she thought things would really become different.

Until that bullet.

33 feet away, it happened to hit Parker's heart, and Grey's hand felt warm. Then she watched in horror as it was slowly dyed red and something was slipping away from the person in her arms. She began to tremble, accompanied by unstable strength, and the surrounding environment began to vibrate violently, all because she realized she couldn't keep him. Jean is powerless.

The brain is in chaos.

Peter shouted her name and urged her to escape quickly, but before Jean could take a step, Mezger shot her in the neck first.

She lost consciousness.
