What if? ... Emma Frost corrupted Jean Grey into becoming the Black Queen

Jean took a short yet deep breath, she gazed almost in a blank stare at the plane window, hardly thinking of anything else.

The recent mission with the X-Men and conflict with Magneto at the Savage Lands hidden in Antarctica. As the volcano lair collapsed the team mates she considered family were buried alive. Fortunately, Jean and Beast were able to escape into the outskirts of Antarctica. It wasn't a fun time for either of them but Hank was able to sustain both of them. Then they were rescued.

With the X-men gone Charles Xavier decided to leave earth behind and join Lilandra. As her mentor board the space ship and Beast got into a cab for Avengers Mansion, for the first time in her life Jean Grey was truly alone.

So she decided to book a plane to Muir Island in northern Scotland to get away from it all and stay at Moira MacTaggerts research lab along with Polaris and Havok.

Then, there were footsteps which sounded like they were heading towards her seat. A voice said, "Looks like I'll be sitting next to you for this flight."

Jean was so busy gazing at the window while deep in her thoughts that she was almost caught off guard by the voice. The passenger who would be sitting next to her was a tall blonde woman who wore a white top with dark burgundy pants. Without much thought the lady was very attractive, striking really. But aside from that, Jean was thrilled. In fact, she was happy to have someone accompany her during the plane ride. She didn't really have any appropriate modes of distraction to preoccupy her mind with. But Jean knew she had to deal with whatever airline movies they had in stock.

"Hello. I'm Jean."

"Emma Frost." The lady answered.
