...to be pointed out. Ahem. And two, that even without her mutant abilities, the once-weather witch contains multitudes of strength and will.

After tracking down Lockheed, the ragtag group of space pirates is again ambushed by the White Queen, leading to the explosion of...

...manages to convince Ororo to take up flight to rescue Lockheed, even if she is the woman who can no longer fly.

It's the correct appeal to make to Ororo–one, that she once honored the sanctity of life, and two...

...wait. I'm sorry. Lockheed has a dragon harem & it needed...

...a heavy hand in pointing out Ororo's hopelessness to herself (but, to be fair, she did learn manners from an allegorical Satan).

No matter who's telling the story, be it Claremont or Illyana, Kitty will always be given an opportunity to dramatically monologue, and the girl...

...the White Queen wants her and no effort is too great to have her.

In the face of their various recent defeats–literal and emotional–Illyana's campfire story is her way of demonstrating that not only does she understand Kitty as a person, but the moral Kitty needs the story to tell.

Introducing Emma and Shaw as the intergalactic White Queen...

...a child-appropriate retelling of the Dark Phoenix Saga, Illyana's tale–Lockheed the Space Dragon and his Pet Girl Kitty–is much less of a retelling, but rather an amalgam of various moments in continuity that Illyana uses to gently lecture many of the downtrodden X-Men.
