Challenge #00127: Conversations on the Twilight Zone

Jean, Wanda and a little bit of bonding over astral physics. Todd makes an appearance.

“Saw you in the dream-realm, last night,” said Jean. “You were… not exactly hallucinating? I thought I could help.”

“That was you? But you were–”

“Probably veiled behind a curtain of your understanding. I’m sorry about that. I backed off when I realized what was happening.”

“I don’t undertand what you’re saying…”

Jean sighed. “Sometimes? People find themselves on the astral plane. I try to help them out when I can. You must have some deep-buried issues to summon those phantoms.”

“…they seemed real…”

Jean sat. “It’s okay. If you manage to find your way into the astral plane again, you need to remember that you are ultimately in control. Everything you see and hear in the astral plane comes from your own mind.”

“But… those things…”

“Tell you what. Next time I find you lost? I’ll salute three times so you know it’s me. I can help.”

“Yo, X-geek. What'cha doin’?” Todd challenged as he landed.

“Trying to help,” said Jean. “I’m going now.”
