Plot Summary
During a field trip to Washington DC, Jean was spotted by Parker Matthews, a minor politician with aspirations of becoming more, and a mild telepath with no qualms about using his power to further his careeer. In the returned-from-the-dead mutant lobbyist Jean Grey, he saw a potential that outweighed his caution - intercepting her at breakfast, he used his powers to lock away her free will. Unfortunately for Matthews, Jean wasn't the only one inside her head - Jane Smith, the alter ego she had developed under the influence of her amnesia following her near-drowning at Alkali Lake and the 'box' in which Jean had locked away all her anger, frustration and less-than-nice thoughts, finally was given the chance to become more than a nasty voice in the back of Jean's head and stepped forward, taking control of Jean's body, and, more importantly, her powers.
Deciding to use Matthews and his connections to the Hellfire Club, Jane abandoned the field trip - and the school - by leaving a note for her fellow chaperones
