Jean shook her head, green eyes shimmering with tears before she blinked them back, lips held tight in a thin line. "No...you're not guilty Speed..I don't believe that, not for a moment. Ever." She reached out and took his hand, squeezing the pale fingers in her own tightly, before pulling them to her lips and kissing the injuried digits gently and laying them upon her heart. She would not let anything happen to Speed...anything. Magneto would pay for what he had done to the hero...the red head would see to it with everything that was left in her...everything that burned.
" I'll protect you. I won't let them take you. I promise," she said softly. "They won't get through me...I'll burn them alive if I have to. But I won't let them hurt you...not again."
