Just as Alex said, he came back to the Xavier Institute with his clothes, PS3, and some of his favorite video games and DVDs. He also brought his police scanner since he wanted to continue his role as the vigilante known as Reven. Wanting to settle in fast, Alex unpacked all of the things he brought with him today. After unpacking all of his things, Alex decided to wait till night fall to go out as Reven so that he can explore Westchester County while it was dark. After all, some places can look different when it's dark.
Alex can now be seen in his black super hero uniform, jumping from rooftop to rooftop with his super strength. During his patrol, Alex couldn't help but notice that there was very little crime in Westchester County and couldn't help but wonder if Reven was even necessary for a place like this. All right, if I don't find any criminal activities within the next half hour, I'll head back thought Alex while in mid air from his latest jump.

"Just what exactly counts as criminal activity, I wonder?" The gray clouds swirled, flames errupting across the air with a powerful heat. The flames licked hungrily and grew so they framed Alex in a flaming oval. A figured wrapped in even darker flames, vibrant with laces of golden flames. The figure was a woman, soft, swell curves and feminine arches in her shape. Madelyne Pryor landed gently on the roof top in the oval with Alex. Her firey mane of red hair shined almost golden in the reflected lights of the fire. Her eyes were pure golden and firey light, flaming at the rims. Her lips were a sultry invitation, smiling darkly. Her body, was a temple of temptation. It drew eyes in all the right places and gave mystery at the same time. Black leather shined from a very revealling skirt open at her hips on. A matching black leather bikini top covered the barest of her breasts and a black, tattered cap flowed like the whispers of the darkest shadows from her shoulders, flowing and flapping as if it had a life of its own like the fire surrounding the oval and her craving body.
This woman, filled with powers so great it was near impossible to keep them under her delicate little fingers, was Madleyne Pryor, the Goblin Queen. She smiled at him adoringly, like he were a child that made her proud. "You're a rather curious creature, Alex Green."

When Alex landed on the roof top, he was suddenly surrounded by an oval shaped wall of flames that completely surrounded him. This of course caught the masked hero by surprise, but what surprised him more was the fact that a figure wrapped around in flames floated down into the oval of flames. As Alex watched the figure float down, the only thing he could tell was that the figure was a female, but when Alex got a closer look at the woman, he could believe his eyes. It was Jean Grey!
Alex's mimicry ability would then copy Madelyne's telepathy ability causing thoughts of other people to suddenly enter his mind. And what he could tell from the thoughts coming from Madelyne, this was not Jean Grey. Alex would then examine the woman more closely and couldn't help but notice that she was younger than Jean Grey and he couldn't help but stare at the woman's attractive body for a bit until she spoke. When she mentioned his name, he honestly wasn't surprised that she knew it since he did copy her ability, but what puzzled him was the smile. Why exactly was she smiling like a mother proud of her child.
Alex would then take a deep breath to regain his composure before saying "Who are you and what do you want?"

Madelyne smiled wider. Clever little man thought better than to gawk longer. She raised her head, looking down at him from her veil of black, feathery lashes, the fire in her eyes bright. "As we speak, I understand that your abilities in mimicry are taking form, no doubt the voices battering your mind are difficult to keep at bay. You will feel the fire soon as well, do try not to scream. It is part of the curse that is a gift." She smiled wickedly and stepped towards him. "I am not Jean Grey." She nearly spat the words, disgusted that she had to even put those syllables together. "I am far greater than such a timid creature such as she. I am Madylene Pryor, holder of the Phoenix Force and the Goblin Queen." She brushed a few fingers over the back of his shoulders as she circled him. "Introductions made. Now, what I want, is simple yet these simple-minded creatures cannot understand it." Madlyene stood facing him, her eyes piercing his. "I want the world. And you're going to help me get it."

The Phoenix Force? The Goblin Queen? Where did she get those names from? A nerd that plays Dungeons and Dragons? thought Alex after Madylene introduced herself as the holder of the Phoenix Force and the Goblin Queen. After introducing himself to the masked hero, Madylene would then explain to him what she wanted, to rule the world and that he was going to help. Alex would then raise his eyebrow as he wasn't sure if she either didn't know that he was a super hero or if she was crazy. After all, even a child knew that super heroes don't help villains take over the world.
"Yeah... I don't think so. Last time I checked, I'm a good guy, And any kid that watches Saturday morning cartoons can tell you that the good guys don't take over the world" said Alex.
"And just to let you know, I'll only hit a woman when push comes to shove. So you might want to take this opportunity and leave or you will get hurt" threatened Alex as he slammed his right fist into his left hand creating a loud clap sound in an attempt to intimidate her.

The fire around them flamed higher than before and her eyes narrowed. In a split second, her hand had him by the throat, flames hungrily licking along his skin, burning way at the flesh. Her cape flew out like a set of angry, black wings, fire enveloping them.
When she spoke, her voice was thickened and carried tones that sent fear through every heart in the state, though they did not hear it, they felt it. She sounded demonic. "And the last time you checked you were also male, I can make you a liar of that as well." She growled and released him, throwing him backwards easily. "The Phoenix is no parlor trick nor silly game the mortal play to feel important. I am Fire and Life Incarnate." The fire brewed hotter and higher happily, proud and strong. The flames surrounding her blew out to shape a set of wings as large as forty feet in gerth. She smiled darkly at him, floating closer and closer with that taunting smile. "You will feel it burn soon, the horrid ache of its powerful need coupled with Jean Grey's. That fire will consume you..."

As Alex watched the flames rise higher, the red haired woman suddenly grabbed him by the throat and told him that she could make the fact that he is a male a lie. As she held him by the throat, the barrier Adam set for his powers started to weaken as the telepathic abilities he copied from Madelyne were too strong for the limited space that it was provided. Because of this, Alex copied her telekinisis ability right before she threw him to the ground backwards with ease.
Madelyn would then explain to Alex that the Phoenix Force was no parlor trick a set of 40 foot wings of flame was suddenly created. This doesn't look good. I might actually have to go all out against her thought Alex as he got up. As the woman floated toward him while saying that the flames were going to burn him, Alex rubbed his hands. He would then bring his arms out, and quickly brought this hands together using his super strength to create a powerful shockwave to blow away the flames. As soon as the shockwave was made, he subconsciously enhanced the power of the shockwave with telekinisis.
If the flames around Madelyne were blown out, even for a brief second, Alex would then rush towards her and start throwing punches at her stomach at full strength followed by an upper cut at her chin in an attempt to send her into the air.

Madelyne lifted a brow as Alex sent out a powerful shockwave. It dimmed her flames because she didn't keep them from being affected. She wanted to see what he planned on doing. Though, as the plan formed in his mind, she was rather unimpressed. "You dissapoint me, Alex Green." He rushed her, throwing fists wildly.
"Pathetic little man, I thought you better." She caught one fist and let the flames lap up his arm and surround his body, eating away at his flesh again. The flames around them gathered in to burn Alex in a personal Hell. "You FOOL!" The demonic voice was back and stronger than ever, so heavy it weighed phsycially on him. "You cannot fight me, you cannot think to try!" She lifted them up into the air, the flames eating away at him. "Feel the force of it pressing down on you...you are too weak to withstand it." She sought through his mind, opening his barriers like simple child gates, letting the mimicry of the Phoenix's power flood him wholly. "Let it burn you, feel it swallow you whole." Madelyne forced the power he held at bay into him fast, throwing every last bit of the power to engulf him like the flames that now surrounded him. "Let. It. Burn."

Alex was quite shocked when Madelyne caught the punch he threw at top strength, something that could easily level the building they were standing on. Then the flames that surrounded her suddenly crawled up his arm and started eating him alive as fire engulfed his entire body. Despite the fact that Alex was invulnerable, the heat the flame produced still hurts like hell to him causing him to fall on one knee. Then all of a sudden, Alex's body started glowing a redish orange as Madelyne sent the Phoenix's power into him.
The power that was in Alex literally felt like it was going to go explode along with his body as he tried his best to contain it, however nothing he did worked. Figuring that he might as well attempt to take the woman out with him, Alex used all of will will power to get up and walk closer to Madelyne. As soon as Alex was a good foot away from her, Alex suddenly released a large amount of a redish orange energy creating a very large explosion that completely destroyed the roof.
When the explosion faded, Alex could be seen in the air and when the wind suddenly blew by him, he bursted into ashes. The wind would take the ashes onto the street and the ashes would then suddenly spin around in a dome like shape. When the ashes stopped spinning, Alex could be seen on the ground in everything but his mask coughing from the ash that surrounded him.

The force of the energy blast matched the power of the Phoenix, it blew Madelyne back into the air. She flipped, laughing darkly. It amused her, her plan in motion, it was gleeful to watch it take place before her. Her plans executing so well. The mimic of the Phoenix Force would destroy him and revive him back to life, with changes in his abilities.
Pryor watched the ashes regather and form Alex on the ground. She hovered near him, fully recovered from the energy blast. "The Phoenix Force revives the host...it doesn't like to be extinguished. How does dying and being revived feel, Mr. Green?"

Alex would then look up at the now floating Pryor when he heard her ask him how it felt being brought back to life and the fact that it was the Phoenix Force's ability. Alex took a moment to think back at what happened after he exploded and he remembered himself in a beautiful meadow feeling very content before feeling something drag him into the ground leading to complete darkness. The next thing he knew, he found himself coughing up ashes.
"I felt very content after I died and found my self in a meadow. But something suddenly dragged me into the ground. Did you have the same experience as me, or are you so powerful that you didn't die yet? asked Alex as he slowly got up.

Madelyne frowned slowly. No. She had burned in a black hole that ate away at her mercilessly while she screamed in agony.
"The death matters little compared to the creature you are after tasting death. I want you to focus on something now for me, your abilities have changed, have they not?" She sensed the difference, knowing the instant that he returned that the mutant gene in his body had altered upon his revitalizing. All according to plan. She would have him understanding soon, that he would either work for her willingly, or she would take his mind whenever she pleased to get her way. No, was not an answer.

When Madelyne frowned at the question he asked, he made an educated guess that she was sent to hell, which really wasn't surprising since she did want to take over the world. Madelyne would then mention that Alex's abilities had changed, so to test this, Alex jumped into the air as high as he could, sending him a few feet into the air before landing back onto the ground. After that, Alex would pinch his own cheek and winced in pain. Both of these tests indicated to him that he had lost his super strength and invulnerability and without those main abilities, he wouldn't be able to fight another round again Madelyne.
"Yeah, you're right. I lost my super strength and invulnerability. How exactly did you know that my abilities had changed?" asked Alex thinking that it was very suspicious that she has known that his powers had changed.

She stared down at him, floating in the halo of fire still. She preferred the flames, liked the way it made her feel. "I am one of the most powerful mutants you have ever and will ever meet. My supreme psychic abilities enables me to feel out mutants. I can't tell you exactly what had changed, but I know something did. Besides," she smiled now. "I'm not of this time, my dear Mr. Green. I have seen this outcome and know what is to come. And you will work for me in the mansion against the X-men. That much is certain."

"Unfortunately for you, you've got the wrong person. There's no way in hell I'd be willing to help you take down the X-Men or take over the world. So I recommend you find someone else to do you're dirty work for you" said Alex right before he turned around. He would then start walking back towards the Institute knowing full well that the beautiful Madelyne couldn't kill him. After all, he now had the ability to come back to life, so there was nothing that she could do to to make him do what she wanted him to do. Or so he thought....
