"Wanda..."

"Eleanor, yes. As much as I am very delighted to see you again, I'm afraid you need to go back now." urgently apprised Wanda, concern lacing her tone. "Your daughter's in danger. The Phoenix is growing volatile by the minute. Someone else is trying to use it for their own gain. You need to go now."

Eleanor's heart begin to race as she heard this and immediately faced the wall, ready to push through. Focusing on it, she took a deep breath and took one last look at her parents and her children. "I'll see you all again."

Then, she ran towards the large barrier, never looking back again.

HER WAKING UP from a coma was different from the movies she had watched.

There was no jolting awake from the bed or any sudden shock. Eleanor only felt her eyes flutter open and she couldn't move at first. It felt like she just woke up from a deep sleep. Nothing felt different in her. As a matter of fact, she felt perfectly fine. She remembered everything. She heard everyone talking. She regained the strength she lost.

"Mrs. Lehnsherr? Can you hear us?"

"How are you feeling? Can you talk?"

"Yes." was the first word she responded to them before pushing herself to sit up. They all instantly reacted by assisting her to lay her down, but she shook her head. "No, I'm fine. You all need to calm down. I can breathe. Nothing in my body is in pain. So, can you please all move aside for a moment?"

"We are just doing our job, Mrs. Lehnsherr."

"Right, sorry." Eleanor flinched. "It's just that I have to..." She started to look around, searching for Erik and her children. None of them were around. Only an unconscious Peter was with her, his face and leg wrapped with bandages.

"Vital signs are stable. Her wound's gone, doctor." reported the nurse. "Her tissues repaired themselves, regenerated. She's now healed."

The brunette nodded. "Now, can I move to my son over there? Thank you." She lifted herself up and asked the nurses to remove the needle attached to her arm. Eleanor really felt nothing. No pain, no fatigue. It was as if she just woke up. Others may declare it as a miracle, but she knew it was part of her mutation. It was part of her coming back to her own body, complete healing and recovery.

She ambled towards Peter, reaching out to brush his hair back. He was seriously injured and for sure, it would take weeks before he would be able to walk or... run. "Hey, kid." breathed out Eleanor, squeezing his hand. "I'm here. Take care of yourself, alright? I just have to fix something. We'll come back for you." She placed a gentle kiss on his forehead. Even though, Peter still had no idea that they already knew about the truth, Eleanor already treated him as her own child. Peter had grown close to her heart and if anyone would even dare harm him, she'd hurt them back in an instant.

And with that, she left the recovery room. Her doctor and nurses followed behind her, requesting her to come back. "Ma'am, we need to do one more check-up before we can -- "

"This is Olivia Morrison reporting live from Manhattan!" announced a reporter on the television located near the nurses station. "I am currently standing here in Washington street where two identified mutants by the name of Anastasia Xavier and Jean Grey are attacking each other!"

As the camera zooms at the back of the reporter, Eleanor recognized the mutants from Genosha fighting off Charles and the X-Men. She also watched Jean it sharp splinters, hurling them to Anastasia who only turned them into dust.

"All humans surrounding the area are being evacuated as of the moment and -- oh my god! Did you see that? That was the former mutant fugitive Magneto throwing several vehicles at the X-Men! He seems to be protecting Anastasia Xavier from Jean Grey!"

"Jesus..." mumbled the mother, catching a glimpse outside of the attack from the window. Her hospital wasn't far from the fight which meant she was just several streets away. She had to stop the madness now before her daughter, her former student, or her husband gets killed.

With this in mind, Eleanor then asked the nurse standing beside her, "Do you have any spare clothes?"
