[3rd POV]

Getting them all home had only taken a few minutes, leaving the X-Men in the area by themselves, none of the parents or students being there anymore, as the parents needed time to think on whether or not they wanted to accept Gwen's huge, life changing offer. The sort of offer that could either change their lives for better or for worse.

"That went well, didn't it?" Hank commented, as Gwen made a so so motion with her hands.

"If the Shi'ar didn't try that it would have been better, but yeah, I think it went pretty well" Gwen replied, as Xavier spoke up next.

"And what do you plan on doing about the Shi'ar, if you don't mind me asking?" Xavier asked. He wasn't concerned about Gwen or anything, as she had proven herself more than capable of wiping out any invaders that could threaten the planet and its people.

"Have a...chat with their leader, hopefully without a lot of punching and beating the living snot out of members of their Empire" Gwen replied with a shrug. She wasn't really afraid of having to do this sort of thing, she would just prefer that this was done in a peaceful manner so she didn't have to deal with the very irritating implications of doing so.

"Won't that cause some...problems though? I can imagine that they won't take kindly to that sort of thing, even with my lack of knowledge on them" Artemis couldn't help but comment, the other girls were back on Earth with the students at the moment.

"Probably, but nothing I can't handle. And problem wise it would be more so in regards to the Empire's own inner politics, with his sister not being particularly fond of his rule" Gwen replied, remembering from the comics that the man would eventually be taken out, his sister becoming the new ruler of the Empire in which it would become far more peaceful and less, well, evil.

"Are you certain such a thing won't cause more of them to come here? As much as I trust in your capabilities, even you surely cannot take on an entire Empire and its forces, right?" Storm asked, as Gwen just gave her a small mysterious smile.

"Shouldn't we be worrying more about the fact that this is all about something that Jean is currently the host to? We should be trying to get this thing out of her!" Scott said, worried for his friend's safety.

Thanks to Gwen eliminating the influence on his mind that was making him act creepy and obsessive over Jean, he was no longer attracted to her at all. Instead he saw her as a good friend and that was about it. And as a friend, he was concerned for her safety with this thing inside of her.

"No, it'd be worse if we took it out, Scott. The Phoenix Force isn't the problem, the Shi'ar is. As they believe that all hosts of the Phoenix deserve to die just because they're the host of them. All because of some host they had hundreds of years ago that had gone dark and used the power for evil. Jean isn't like that, so we don't need to take it out" Gwen replied with a shake of her head, as taking it out just wasn't a good idea.

Even if they did take it out of her, it'd likely just find a host in another individual on Earth. That, and even if they did take it out, they'd still go after Jean based off of the fact that she COULD be the host, and WAS the host.

"I-alright. So what do we do about this then?" Scott asked, as Gwen chuckled.

"Nothing, I'll be taking care of any would be invaders or anything like that. Malzif as a whole is completely impossible for the Shi'ar to invade, as it would take something well beyond them to get into this city" Gwen replied, as it would take someone like Galactus or something to get into the city.

And that was without obtaining the Eye of Harmony or creating it. Once she did that, very little would be able to break into her city, with even Galactus likely struggling a bit.
