I fly past throw clouds flying directly to hydra,my mind couldn't help but think about jean after helping Parker with stopping the voices on his head
I never understood why jean why was she so invested in him why was she so kind ,I didn't understand
I looked up and increase my speed landing ontop of hydra walking in seeing few agents walking around with files and documents it was busy as always
Then an agent with black hair and brown eyes with a serous face on him "agent tempest fury would like to speak to you"
I noded and walked straight to fury is office ,I arrive and gently knocked on the door calmly
Come in.
I opened the door and entered calmly "you needed me Fury"
Fury looked up from his documents to me Calmly " I hear your no longer going to kill "
I looked at him calmly "yes I am not going to kill anyone,did you listen to everything that happened"
He shook his head "no....I only head the conversation with Parker and that mutant"
I looked at him my dark red eyes looking at fury Calmly "it does mean i won't work for you fury but killing isn't something I will be doing I wanna see what they where talking about...but doesn't mean I won't kill those who I see won't change"
Fury looked at me and noded "well your dismissed I will call you when I need you "
I noded and flesh step out and appeared on the highest building top I sit down calmly looking at the city it has completely finished rebuilding the damage of octopus
Then a I sense someone entering my mind I allowed because I already know who it was
Jean (telepathically): "Rimuru, are you free right now?"
M I sighed. "You know, just entering someone's mind without warning is a little rude. But yeah, I'm free."
Jean (a bit sheepishly): "Sorry… You did say we'd talk. I just thought—maybe now's a good time."
I looked ahead, calm and collected. "Fine. Where do you want to meet? And… do your friends know about this?"
Jean: "I already told them about you. They won't be coming after you anymore."
I stood up, stretching a little. "Where are you?"
Jean: "The park. It's quiet right now… I thought we could talk there."
I flesh step to where the park was and saw her setting there she was still wearing her x men suit she was wearing while we fought the Phoenix fore fragment her red hair was doe netle she looked beautiful but I wasn't gonna tell her that The pack was quite the only sound that could be heard was the leafs falling down
I walked to her my hands in my pocket and she looked up at me
jean "you actually came "
I looked at her and rolled my eyes "of course I did why wouldn't I "
She just looked down her hands locked together and I set down next to her
She sat down, hands locked together, staring at the ground. I lowered myself onto the bench beside her.
Jean: "Rimuru... do you ever call yourself a monster? Do you ever see yourself as one?"
The question caught me off guard—no buildup, just raw honesty.
I sighed, looking up at the clouds.
"Not really. But I've been called a monster so many times, I stopped caring. Do I see myself that way? I don't know. Maybe sometimes."
She didn't look up. Her voice was soft.
Jean: "The Phoenix Force isn't just power—it's a voice. I hear it when I'm weak. When I'm angry. It pushes me, tempts me. Sometimes… I think it is me."
I turned toward her.
"Does that scare you?"
Jean: "Of course it does."
Her hands tightened.
"When I lose control, people get hurt. I've killed. Not because I wanted to… but because I couldn't stop it. I let it take over, and now I don't know where I end and it begins."
I looked back at the sky.
"Have you ever tried to understand it? Not just suppress it—but really train it? I think you've only focused on control, not connection. You're still human, Jean. But when you bury your emotions, you lose yourself to them."
She turn to me "what are you trying to say rimuru "
I didn't look at her I just kept my eye forward"if I have in your situation I would have seen this as a gift and an opportunity not the killing part...this thing as so much power and it's in your hands it chose you for a reason.....use it train it and expect it and you may find out why it picked of all of the other people around it "
She looked down and then back at me her voice soft "you make this seem simple rimuru it's not...what kind of gift hurts .....but I see your point maybe it had a reason to pick me "
I look at her my dark red eyes meeting hers "think of it like this ,fire it's a blessing but if not controlled it will burn and hurt people "
Jean looked at the trees Then at the sky it was getting darker the sun was setting"my hole life I have been trying to put it down without seeing the light it could bring.....I think it's time I learn how to control and understand it "
I looked at her, a smirk tugging at my lips.
"You know… I've been training a lot lately, but I still haven't found the right partner. So..."
I held out a hand slightly. "Wanna be my training partner?"
Her eyes widened in surprise, then softened with a small smile.
Jean: "Of course. Just hope you can keep up."
I rolled my eyes and stood, brushing off my coat.
"Better get ready then. For the next few months—maybe even years—we're going to train nonstop."
With a flash step, I vanished.
Jean was left sitting there, staring at the spot where rimuru had just been. Slowly, she reached for her chest, fingers gently brushing over her heart as a faint blush rose to her cheeks
