[ Continued from TDM.
Important Note: Jean arrives post-Starstuck/New timeline. ]

Hello, again. I returned home and then was drawn back here what appears to be over a year of your time later.

If anyone can direct me to where to find Logan, David, Josh, and-or Bruce, if they are still here, I would appreciate it. Also, if anyone recognizes the names of Krakoa or the X-Men from back home, please get in touch with me, too.

For those who don't fall into either of those first two categories, my name is Jean Grey, and I originally arrived with the first batch of people to come to this world. As I don't yet know if anyone I was with is still here, I'd love an update on the status of this place.

[ Sigh.

Gratitude or frustration,
which one is greater.

(Which one is more selfish.) ]

That's alright, Gabby. It has been a year.
Things were invariably going to change here.

i don't think he was your logan. he was some other person's old logan.

Wait.

What?

that's what julian said. i think he knew some of us but not like most of us.

Huh.

That's the second him here, then.

Originally, it was our Logan here.
From home. Same time and place as I came from.

yeah i don't think he's here anymore.

[ and she's going to sidestep the whole "our logan" thing. she's never met logan and even now, she's not sure how she feels about him. ]

Well. It is what it is.

Hopefully, both of them are back where they're supposed to be.

Who else is here from home that you know of?

like i said, julian's here. and storm. maybe some avengers??

Is anyone keeping track of it now?
The people who arrive?

On our side. Not the government.

i'm definitely not keeping track. no clue who is.

Surely someone.

Perhaps David will know.

Who's David?

[ Well, that's a little unexpected. ]

David Alleyne. He's from home, too.

Gabby. When did you come here from?

I mean, there's the teamup I did with you guys, plus Laura and the Wolverines dealing with the orphans of X.

Why?

[ Oh.

Oh my, even. ]

We're from a few years apart, it seems.

So time is weird. But you still know me, so what's the big deal?

It's not a truly big deal.

There are just some things I won't assume you know or remember now.

[ Red Team, and all of Krakoa.
The clone resurrection hiccups. ]

I'm from around five years past those events.

So I'll probably catch up at some point. Probably.

You will. Definitely.

You were there when I was last home.

Home?

The mansion?

[ There's a moment to think. Then. ]

No. The mansion is still safely in one piece, but mutants all over our world live on an large island called Krakoa. It's our home now. Its own independent nation, with a lot of the things that go into that.

There are a few other places, too. The Summer's House is on the moon, but most recently, I've been living with The X-Men team in New York at the Tree House. Everything is connected by Krakoan Gates so we can move back and forth between those places much easier now, too.

And Laura went there? That's her home?

Yes. Hers, and yours, as well.

Logan's, too. And Akihiro.

It's several year off for you,
but things have changed much for all of you,
especially when and where it comes to each other.

[ And her, and Scott. But that's a bit much to toss on top.
Selfish to compare as important when speaking of them forming a family.

Of so much blood, and so much bad, minted and molded into something new that they might claim as their own. ]

Right.

I guess I'll remember all of that later.

You will. One day.

I can answer questions about the time I come from, when and if you ever want them, but you don't need to worry about that here and now either. Or have to come up with any questions if you don't have them. Or want them.

It doesn't change anything,

and I won't expect anything of you from it.
