Rachel X

Elaine Grey (March, 2006)

"May God forgive me, I wish, I pray, that my child -- my wonderful, beautiful Jean -- had never been born! And I wish the same of you!"

Kurt Wagner (February, 2005)

"She's changed. I've changed... We were... playing in the danger room, things got a little carried away... I'm a fool for making so much of it."

Nathan Summers (December, 2000)

"...All humanity owes you. The Rachel Summers I knew in another time, another place, had a heart as big as the world. You're the same person, just a lot younger."

Kitty Pryde (September, 1999)

"What, you figure, walk on into our lives, snap your fingers, the deed is done? Relationships all set, the way you want 'em? Guess again, Red, it ain't that easy!"

Tanya Trask (July, 1997)

"Why don't you admit the real reason you do not take destiny into your hands -- is because you are weak?!"

Ororo Munroe (March, 1997)

"...She was an x-man for a time -- a valued teammate and a dear friend."

Scott Summers (July, 1994)

"Sorry... I never treated you much like a daughter when I had the chance. I just wanted you to know... How very proud I am to have been your father."

Rory Campbell (March, 1994)

"I couldn't help thinking, how much darker, how much smaller, this corner of the universe would be without her."

Franklin Richards (June, 1990)

"I never got to see you as Phoenix, in all your glory. A sight to remember. A memory to treasure. Farewell, my love."

Jean Grey (June, 1990)

"And out of nowhere I'm face to face with the product of my life to come! Not only that, she's tied intimately into the power I abhor..."

Rogue (October, 1986)

"No one in the team has seen a sign of Phoenix... Is she dead? It's cruel -- but sometimes ah think that'd be for the best. The girl certainly has some serious problems."
