The term id (inner desire) is a Latinised derivation from Groddeck’s das Es, and translates into English as strictly "it". It stands in direct opposition to the super-ego. It is dominated by the pleasure principle. -Sigmund Freud-
Charles had never been more frustrated in his life. He had spent most of the night and better part of the morning with Cerebro trying to find answers. It’s as if they had vanished into thin air. No one knew anything, no one had seen anything, if he had any hair on his head then he would have been pulling it out by now.
Deciding that there really was no way around it, he needed to probe Jean’s mind. There were greater things at stake than his ethic code. He knew what had happened between her and Logan, but not to what extent. Logan was reluctant to speak of what had gone on between them, not wanting anyone going through his mind further the Professor had let it go. Hoping that Logan would instead choose to come to him when he was ready.
Occasionally he would pick up some confusing thoughts from Jean, at first he thought it was her Id. For mutants with psychic abilities there Id could become their driving force if they didn’t build up their physic shields strong enough. The Id’s sole purpose was to feel pleasure and satisfaction at any cost.
As with all mutant Jean’s powers were emotionally tied. But with Jean her powers would literally feed her Id (ego) with endorphins, creating an almost drug like high. If Jean indulged her Id to the extreme too often she would in essence become addicted much like a drug addict. This could quickly escalate from simple pleasure to sadistic tendencies as the Id would crave more and more intense emotions particularly the dark ones. The more intense the emotion, or darker, the “bigger” and “better” the high.
The Professor has seen the change in Jean slowly at first, and increasing as time went by. He had almost daily sessions with her trying to create physic boundaries for her and showing her how her Id could take over if she let it. In essence trying to show her good v. evil for lack of a better term. However Jean had to consciously take the step and want to have control of her emotions and powers.
This is where the problems began. Jean started to pull away almost keeping things from him and even Scott. Her reactions were becoming overwhelmingly intense, almost trying to provoke those around her and feeding off of their emotions particularly the darker ones. Jean was quickly becoming uncontrollable.
The only thing the professor could think of now was to put Jean into a physic coma he could probe her mind and find out exactly what was going on. There was no doubt in his mind that what was going on with Rogue and Sabertooth was Jean’s doing. Knowing that he was the only one strong enough to take her on and get some answers he made his way to the med lab where she was. Putting up all his metal walls as he made his way down preparing to perhaps take apart his best student, the one that had come to be like a daughter to him. Where had he gone wrong? Was he too strict not patient enough, was he holding her back or had he always indulged her whims? A tear made it’s way down his cheek as he rolled out of the downstairs elevator.
“Jean how are things going today”
“fine thank you profe…….”.
A loud thud was heard in the room as Jean hit the floor in the med room.
