Author's Note: Marvel, Stan Lee and crew own them; I'm just borrowing them.  This is for my friend June, who specially requested it, even though I can't stand Emma Frost.

Summary: No matter what she keeps telling herself, Emma Frost just can't get out of Jean Grey's head.

"This isn't funny anymore, Jean," Emma practically growled, keenly aware that she was not only trapped in Jean's head but also trapped in her diamond form.  Apparently, Jean Grey liked her that way the best: Stone cold and hard.

"It never is, Emma," Jean's voice filled the air around her, whooshing around her name.

"Let me out."  It wasn't a command, it was a plea.  Something beneath the ice queen or so she liked to think.

"No," Jean's reply was simple.

"No?" Emma questioned, laced with confusion.

"Never."  Jean smiled, opening her eyes and setting Emma free for the moment.
