[OP: "The War is Over"--  Kalley]

"What are you trying to say, Scott?" Jean was asking.

"I just wanted you to know, this whole thing wasn't about you," Scott said. "The link and all of it, it was just about being able to do what I needed to do. So...again, I'm sorry if it upset you."

"What upset me more is I can tell there's something else." Jean crossed her arms. "It's Frost, isn't it...?"

"Uh--" Scott began.

"No, you don't have to say it." Jean held up her hand. "I can guess the rest."

"It wasn't like that," Scott said.

"Scott, I don't really care what it was like," Jean said. "Or whatever you told yourself about it. I guess if this is what you want, then fine. We can break up." She looked sad for a moment, and then angry. "It's just a really crummy way to do that."

"I wanted to talk to you first," Scott tried to explain, "but there wasn't time, and I... It...it was just different."

As much as he thought that was true, he was finding it impossible to explain it to Jean.

"Must have been," she said cuttingly.

Emma was watching this, arms folded, and suddenly she walked up. "Don't blame him, Jean."

"Oh, who should I blame, then? You?" Jean glared at her. "I wouldn't talk to me right now, Frost. It wasn't enough that you started all this, but...you manage to get your claws in further? You're really something else."

"Jean--" Scott began.

"It's all right, Scott." Emma held up her hand. "I don't care what Jean thinks of me, quite frankly, and I never have."

Jean glared at her.

"Not to get in the middle of this," Emma said. "I'm sure you both need to settle this on your own, but there's no need to make baseless accusations, Jean. Not many people would have known what to do in the situation... But I can tell you, Scott had every intention of holding back out of respect for you, but I was a wreck, and there was no time, and it seemed best to finally air things out rather than risk never getting such a chance. If it helps, both of us decided to wait till all this was over to really officially do anything about it. You know what I mean."

She fixed Jean with a look.

Either Jean read her mind, or she could figure it out. She looked chagrined.

"That's all," Emma said. "Scott is a good person. I'm not, but I plan to remedy that if I can. I've made it clear this is up to him, and I will respect his decision either way. I suggest you do the same."

That last part was almost a threat.

She walked away.

Jean looked at Scott.

"She's right," Scott said. "It's...not like she pushed me at all. I just...I realized what I wanted. I care about you, Jean. I think I always will. We've known each other a long time and been through a lot...but I just don't know if we're right in that way. It doesn't feel like it. I'm...not even sure if you really feel like that, deep down. Maybe both of us should just move on. I didn't want to hurt you. But I think...lying about it would be worse."

Jean stared at him.

Then with perhaps just the slightest bit of maturity she possessed, she sighed. "If that's how you feel about it, Scott, I won't argue... On the record, I think this is a mistake, but...I can't do anything to change your mind, can I?... I guess things happen. If I decide to move on too, though...then this will have to stand, so remember, you asked for this."

She looked down. "Still can't believe you're breaking up with me."

She turned and walked away.

[Awkward.]

* * *

Of course, now everyone wondered how they were going to get home.

But they weren't done being surprised yet.

Before anyone could really talk about anything else, they saw there were a bunch of people coming over the hills and grass.

All looked confused.

Polaris was one of them. And a few other people no one had met, but who must have been taken out of their time.

Apparently shutting the pocket dimension had not automatically returned them to their own.

Lorna was glad enough, though, to see Wanda, though both of them were pretty confused--and furious at the men in their family.

"Lorna, I'm glad you're all right." Magneto actually tried to talk to her.

"Don't." She frowned at him.

"I don't understand," he said.

"I can't believe you let them do that to me!" Wanda was furious. "What was all this to you?"

"I was trying to protect you and Lorna from being killed," Magneto protested.

"Tell that to someone who'll believe it, Dad," Wanda said tightly.

Lorna just shook her head. "The world was a nightmare before... I don't understand where it all went, but it wasn't paradise for mutants... You lied."

Magneto had...for once, nothing to say to that.

"I think you two are taking things too hard," Alt Quicksilver said.

"If she hadn't punched you already, I would." Wanda glared at him and nodded at Domino.

"No need to be shy. We can take turns," Domino said.

Now that the first explanations were over, the newer X-men were asking for more details about what happened.

"So...let me understand this," Alt Storm said. "The alternate Scott was right? And we were all being held in a pocket dimension. While the worlds were merging... This whole place was a sort of nightmare? Like the Professor's visions."

"I was hopin' in all this he might wake up," Alt Rogue sighed.

That Professor X was still in a coma.

"But shouldn't he be here too?" Logan asked.

"About that..." Wanda said.

They all looked at her.

"Well, I don't know," she said. "I had heard that he was caught by Apocalypse earlier, and...you know...so he couldn't warn you."

"He did go silent..." Alt Storm said, in a worried voice.

"I'm sure it's not that..." Scott frowned. "Hang on, let's ask Shine and Wally."

"Who?" Wolverine asked. "Oh, the two freaks from other dimensions?"

"Should we really be calling people freaks?" Scott said a bit tightly. "They're heroes. If not for them we'd never have accomplished any of this. You'll be nice to them, Logan."

"Excuse me?" Wolverine said. 

"They're cool, yeah," Forge spoke up.

"Better than all of you." Domino crossed her arms. "At least they solved the problem. Have some respect."

"Hey, I still thought they were suspicious," Wolverine said. "Which ones are they anyway? I have a few questions."

Emma heard him say this.

"Wolverine, you do understand that we were with them the whole time while they were fighting the madmen who almost destroyed us?" she said.

"So what do they want from us?" Wolverine asked.

"Nothing," Scott said. "I can't believe I forgot how suspicious you were. I can't believe I'm saying this, but the other Wolverine is more laid back."

"I heard that," Logan said. "Don't lump me in with that guy." He gave his other self a weird look. "This is just weird."

"I agree," the Older Storm said. "Something like looking in a distorted mirror..." She eyed her other self's outfit. "I see why they were surprised to meet us."

"Wait, so you guys are us, but from the past?" Shadowcat said.

"And an alternate timeline," Older Rogue supplied. "Ain't it strange?"

"Why do you talk funny?" Iceman asked her.

"I talk normal!" she said. "Why don't ya mind yer manners, Big Shot?"

He backed up. "Okay, she's way scarier than you are," he said to the Alt Rogue, who glared at him.

"Well, dere only one Rogue," Gambit said. "Even if you make other world version of her."

"Let's hope there's only one of you, Gumbo," Logan said, eyeing the other Gambit, who looked justifiably nervous about it.

"But are we all gonna be okay?" Jubilee asked. "I mean...I'm still really confused on how this is all just empty now, and when we go back, will it be like nothing happened."

"How can it be?" Kitty asked. "I mean...it feels...after all the hard stuff we did in that weird, crazy future, it's just gone? I know that was the goal, but..." She looked angry. "So it didn't mean anything."

"No, don't think of it that way," Morph said. "It meant something, but it meant that other people won't have to experience that because we did. That's sort of how this works. You took the hit for the rest of the world, kid. That's pretty big."

Kitty looked slightly comforted for a moment, but then she sighed. "So even if it's better this way, no one will know about it... It's like it's erased, but I still remember...all of us will."

"Yeah...you don't just forget something like that," Trinity said sadly.

"I don't think we're meant to forget," their Hank commented. "We remember, and we know what we did. No one here could argue you girls were extremely brave. And it won't change anything just because the world doesn't know about it."

"I'd rather the world not know about it," Ryan shuddered. "I want everyone to forget about it."

"Who is that kid?" the older Shadowcat asked.

"That's Ryan," Forge said. "He's got a cool tongue, and he spits venom...apparently."

"So where can we get one of him?" Iceman asked.

"Kid's kind of whiny. Don't know if you want him," Domino said.

Emma walked up to Shine and Wally.

"I know you two are tired, but if you could answer one question, the others are wondering whether their Professor X who was in this future will be all right. It seems he was killed, but will that also be undone now?"

"I don't know," Wally said.

"The question is moot." Shine sat up a little. "Once the one in the coma goes back to his time, it will mean he will exist in the future here also. Dead or alive, depends on how that timeline plays out from this point. Just what we did won't affect it. But you reminded me, I have something I want to talk to those X-men about... I suppose I can't wait till I'm less tired."

"Be careful," Emma warned. "We seem to be all right, but all that was intense."

"I don't think we're all right," Wally said. "The adrenaline is probably just flowing from what happened, but I always crash big time after these battles."

"For days usually," Shine said. "We don't have long probably before we run out of energy, but there's always more things to wrap up, aren't there?"

"Well, please be careful," Hank said. "You both did more than your share, I would say."

"I must have missed a lot," Professor X, theirs, spoke. 

Wally looked at him. "You," he said. "We have to talk later about you not doing what we told you to."

Professor X looked guilty. "I...might have...but I was worried about Jean."

"That's no excuse!" Jubilee cried. "You should have seen what we dealt with after that!"

"Speaking of which," Emma said, "what do we do with all these...villains?"

All of them were standing off to the side, looking terrified.

Shine stood up slowly. "Well, Emma, I say we divide them by worlds, and let all of you decide what to do with them. I'm sick of looking at most of them, personally."

The Alt Warren flew over at that, and he dragged someone with him, the other Mystique.

She squirmed, but then he dropped her in front of them, and she just sat there.

"You have to deal with her especially," he said. "She was right there with Selene... You all should have trapped her in the other realm."

Alt Mystique looked down.

Shine sighed. "Well, she did the most to Raven and Kurt, right? Maybe they should decide. I don't have the energy to dole out punishments."

She glanced at them. "I know you two will know what to do."

She walked away.

"So what do we do with them?" Warren asked, frustrated.

"Is that Warren?" The newer X-men looked up.

"He doesn't seem brainwashed anymore," Shadowcat said.

"Oh yeah, that lady snapped him out of it." Domino pointed. "You all should be thanking her."

"She did what?" Wolverine said. "We didn't think that was possible."

"You know, you might say that a lot when it comes to her," Scott said. "She helped a lot of us."

"Oh, don't flatter me, Scottie." Shine walked up, smiling. "I'm going to miss you enough as it is."

"Uh...Mrs. West--" the Older Scott looked over now. "--we really should talk."

Shine looked at him. "Oh...there you are... I thought you hadn't come over to say hello to us yet. Hi, Scott... It sounds weird calling two people that now, but I guess that's why we had the nickname--o,h did anyone ever call you Scottie? You have to tell me now."

"That's what you care about?" Old Scott said.

"I did." Iceman held up his hand.

Shine laughed. "That tracks. Bobby, right?"

"Oh yeah, cool, you know who I am," Iceman said.

"Mostly from the movies," Wally commented.

"The what?" Iceman said.

"I just..." Old Scott said. "I think I have something to say, so--"

"We can talk later, okay?" Shine said. "These guys have to go home soon, so...but hey, I missed you. Not even being sarcastic about it."

"It wasn't the same without you there to tell us how we were doing it wrong." Wally meant that to be a joke.

But apparently after what the Older Scott had been through, it wasn't that funny... He just looked sad.

Older Jean seemed confused. "Scott, what happened while you were in the other world?"

"Nothing that terrible," Wolverine muttered. "Don't know what his problem is."

"People disappeared from existence," Nightcrawler said.

"Aside from that," Wolverine said.

"We all need to talk about something," Shine said. "And, Scottie, you know what it is by now...your....little situation with time corruption."

"Uh...right..." Scott said.

He glanced at Emma like, "Help me!" because he didn't think he could explain this coherently.

Emma crossed her arms and tossed her head, but she rejoined them. "Well, this should be a fun conversation."

"I don't like the sound of this," Wolverine said.

"I don't want to spend the time to explain why," Shine said. "They can decide that later, but I'm just telling all of you X-men--nice meeting you by the way, I'm Shine--that you need to stop it with the messages from the future thing. You're creating more problems than you're solving by trying to control fate. Xavier is overstepping his bounds. People must make their own choices.... Yes, you can warn them of outcomes, but trying to change those outcomes by force is a mistake. Leads to things like what just happened. And if you keep doing it, other bad guys will figure out what's going on, almost certainly. Kelly already knows, which is a stupid mistake right there. Magneto knows. The only way to keep the world safe is to just let things play out."

She looked at them sadly. "I know you miss Professor X, but you will have to wait for him, like anyone else would. I'm sorry. His messages are not reality anyway--things are subject to change so often. Scott and Emma will explain the rest to you later."

Emma nodded. "It will be a long conversation," she said.

"And...you agree with this, Scott?" Alt Storm said.

He nodded. "We were wrong to mess with it. I didn't know it then, but I do now. I've seen enough problems caused by time pollution to last me the rest of my life. The Professor will just have to understand."

"Really, one might have guessed as much," Emma said. "All of us were so eager to play God... I never really gave it much thought myself, trying to prevent the future."

"Because you have more sense," Shine said to her. "And on that note--" She glanced at Scott. "--I think you know what you need to do there."

"What is she talking about, Summers?" Wolverine said.

"We don't have to talk about this now," Emma said uneasily.

Jean was still sulking off to the side.

"I think we do," Scott said. "Before I lose my nerve."

He was pretty sure he would if they went home first.

"But will you all agree to this, first?" Shine interrupted. "I'd like to hear that. Just for peace of mind."

"Well, we have to talk it over," their Beast said.

"No, we don't," Scott said. "We're going to do what she said, end of story."

"I am loving this responsible side of you," Wally said. "So much less frustrating... Oh gosh, I sound like Superman."

"Nah," Shine said. "Much cuter."

"Shouldn't we ask the Professor first?" Alt Scott said.

"So he can tell you it's necessary and disregard everyone's safety again?" Emma said saltily.

"Hey!" Wolverine said dangerously. "Watch it."

"Wolverine," Emma said, gesturing to her forehead and away again with an air of sass that was hilarious if it wasn't directed at you. "I almost died piece by piece for weeks on end, trying to fix the mess partially caused by both Professors. I got another woman put inside my head. And I went up against both Apocalypse and Sinister while you were busy napping in an incubation pod. If I want to critique Xavier's methods, I bloody well can. And if you were smart, you'd listen. Come talk to me when you've actually suffered while trying to repair a broken timeline and tell me if you think you'd like to do it twice. Of course--" She smiled slyly. "--if you want to ignore us and go on with it, you can deal with it. Don't ask us for help."

"Who was asking you for help?" Wolverine said.

"Logan..." Alt Storm said uneasily.

"Maybe she's got a point..." Shadowcat said.

"You guys weren't there," Forge said. "We saw things...really bad things... That future should never happen. What if us messing with it is what makes it happen?"

"Always," Shine said.

"If Scott is warning us, it's good enough for me," Alt Storm said. "We weren't there for it, so I think we should take his word."

"Ditto," Iceman said.

Wolverine looked at the others. They all nodded.

"I guess we can talk to Chuck about it," he said.

"And I leave this to you," Shine said to Scott and Emma.

She looked a little pale.

"Are you all right?" Emma asked.

"I think the adrenaline is going away..." Shine said slowly. "I'm not sure how bad this crash will be yet. Only just starting to feel it."

"Honey, sit down," Wally said. Then he rubbed his face. "I feel kind of sleepy actually... You know, I haven't eaten in a while too... Super hungry...and thirsty..."

He fell forward.

Logan grabbed him. "Danged metabolism... Why can't ya be mutants and have normal powers?"

"When did that become normal?" Alt Rogue wondered aloud.

"Wait...he's not a mutant?" Alt Storm said.

"But he was fast..." Iceman said.

"Neither of them are mutants," Scott said. "They're humans.... Didn't you tell them that?" He looked at his other self.

Older Scott shrugged. "Everything I told them just seemed to go in one ear and out the other."

"That sounds about right," Emma said.

Shine went down on her knees. "Can one of you get...sugar...so...Wally could...?"

She seemed incoherent.

"Shine?" The Older Storm and Rogue rushed over to her.

"All right, take it easy there, gal," Rogue said. "Maybe just rest."

Shine started shivering. "The strain..." she murmured.

Storm took off her cape and draped it around her shoulders.

"She needs to get home," Rogue worried. "Both of 'em..."

"They ain't the only ones." Logan pointed.

* * *

"Well, what do you guys want to do?" Morph asked Mystique and Kurt.

Mystique was frowning at Alt Mystique.

"I feel Fraulein Shine vould not leave it to us unless she expected us to be merciful," Kurt said. "As for me, vhile I have no great liking for her actions tovard us as a whole, she did help me a little at the end. I don't vant revenge."

"And the rest of us?" Warren said angrily. "All of them deserve the worst. They almost destroyed the world, but people like her were right up in it, knowingly."

"Yeah, yeah," Mystique said blandly. "Heard it before... You know, I could be really petty, but all things considered, who am I to judge? She can't do anything else now that they're gone. I say just let her go."

Alt Mystique gaped at them.

"You think so," Morph said. "She still did a lot. I mean, I get it, but..."

"Well, you said I should be nicer to myself," Mystique said.

"This is not it what I meant by that," Morph said.

"And what does punishing any of them prove?" Mystique shrugged. "All of them were scared. If the other X-men want to do something, they can turn them over to that MRD they all kept talking about. Beyond that, I don't care. I'd rather go home."

"Ja, home sounds gut," Kurt said.

"Are you serious?" Alt Mystique finally spoke. "I didn't take it easy on you, and you don't even want anything from me?"

"Well, when you put it that way..." Mystique said.

Alt Mystique stood up. "What?"

Mystique slapped her.

She reeled back and grabbed her face, but then looked up at her in amazement.

"I guess that settles it for me." Mystique shrugged. "Now we're even. Slapping myself is something I should have done a long time ago anyway."

Morph laughed nervously. "That was weird to watch."

Alt Mystique stared at her...then she smiled oddly. "I guess if that's how you want it."

"But vhat about turning the other cheek?" Kurt said. "I don't feel violence is the answer."

"Kurt, violence isn't an answer, it's a question," Morph said. "And the answer is...well, yes 50% of the time."

"That's it?" Warren said.

"Oh, shut up," Mystique said to him. "Brainwashed On Purpose Guy shouldn't talk anyway. Why are you riding a high horse? Go talk to that Angel. I actually tricked him into being brainwashed." She pointed at that one, who was still looking around dazed and confused. "And even he swore off revenge."

"What kind of person are you?" Warren said, horrified. "Why are you even working with the X-men?"

"Because people can change, duh," Morph said. "Good thing, too."

"I don't believe it," Alt Mystique said, still rubbing her face. "You're actually committing to this, aren't you?" She was talking to Mystique.

Mystique shrugged. "I don't know what I'll do...but I've seen enough destruction... At some point even I have to learn from my mistakes... You should too. Starting with him." She pointed at Magneto. "Forget him. He's insane."

"What? Should I join the X-men?" Alt Mystique scoffed.

"I don't think they'd take you," Morph said. "But you could try something not highly illegal for a while. I mean, why do you think you have to do those things anyway?"

"You wouldn't understand," Alt Mystique said.

"But I would," Mystique said. "And it's...not worth it." She shook her head. "Just do yourself a favor for once...stop repeating the same thing over and over again. If you won't listen to me, then who would convince you?"

"Good point," Alt Mystique said. "I'll think about it...and a lot of other things..." She shook her head. "But it won't be that way for me."

"I don't vant to presume, Fraulein," Kurt said, "but if you vere truly interested in abandoning your course in life, Fraulein Frost might be villing to assist you. She seems a little cold at first, but she's actually a very nice lady. And she seems to have decided to change her actions also."

"I don't know, if they got along as well as this Mystique and her do, maybe that's bad advice," Morph said.

"I do like the idea of sticking Emma with more work," Mystique said.

"I think I'll take it from here." Alt Mystique frowned.

"What is happening?" Warren asked.

"Get used to it," Jubilee said to him. "We taught them all about it."

"When did you teach anything?" Mystique asked her.

"Hey, I was part of it," Jubilee said. "You like us all now, right?"

"I never said I liked you," Mystique said.

"Well, that's not very nice," Jubilee said.

"Yeah, we totally saved you guys," Ryan said.

"You should be happy--I used a lot of that combat stuff you were suggesting," Kitty said. "I was really effective."

"I just want Illyeana to be okay." Colossus spoke up. He was holding her.

"She's going to be fine," Kitty said, more somberly. "They'll know how to help her get back to normal. All of us...I hope."

"Normal..." Trinity muttered. "I don't know about that."

"But can we talk about how Trinity just killed it?" Morph said. "I mean, geez, kid, being human ain't got nothing on you. I'd go to war with you any time."

"I hope this was the last time, Mr. Morph," Trinity said. "But I tried... I guess I should be pretty happy about it, but I'm..."

"It's cool," Morph said. "It's the post battle blues... We all get it. You'll feel better about it in a few days, trust me. Anyway, the importance thing is we won."

Kurt winced. "Now that ve're not in that realm, I don't know if our injuries have disappeared though."

"You're starting to feel it again?" Mystique said.

"For the past few minutes, a little, but..." Kurt winced again. "It might be getting vorse..."

He collapsed suddenly.

"Uh oh..." Jubilee said.

Mystique knelt down. "Kurt?... No use..."

"I guess the realm effects wore off," Morph said. "All of us will feel it soon. I think I'll be okay though, but the rest of you should take it easy."

"Yeah, maybe," Jubilee said, yawning. "I just realized I haven't slept since the day before yesterday..."

Mystique looked up. "Where are we going to get medical supplies with everything gone?"

"Well, Hank is a doctor," Morph said. "But...huh...he doesn't have his supplies anymore."

"They took all our supplies when they arrested us," Kitty said. 

Mystique suddenly got a strange look, then she fainted also.

* * *

After that, rapidly, suddenly a lot of the team became weak, lightheaded, or realized they had injuries. Old Rogue had abrasions and burns all over her from her fight with Gambit, and some  of the others had cuts and bruises they didn't even realize they'd gotten at the time.

Many people felt the effects of being brainwashed, attacked, or just going without food, sleep, or water for a long time.

Ironically, the newer X-men who'd been in the incubation tubes were in the best shape, since they'd barely fought at all.

Emma even felt faint and had to sit down.

Scott almost panicked, but she said it wasn't like before.

"I'm just tired, that's all," she said wearily. "All of us are tired."

"I can't really treat anyone for much without supplies," both Hanks said to different groups. "We might be able to make some makeshift bandages and what not, but they need food, water, casts perhaps."

"So how do we get home?" Forge asked.

No one knew.

"Well," Old Storm spoke (she seemed to be mostly all right, along with Logan, who of course just healed faster than everyone else), "it seems to me if Shine and Wally cannot open a portal, then we must just go to the source itself. All of us need to go back to our timelines so that things can heal..."

Before she was even finished speaking, two doorways of solid light opened next to each other in the air. One next to the older team, and the other next to the new team.

"Well...guess that answers that..." Logan said.

"So...this is it," Old Rogue muttered.

"Gambit ready ta go home," Gambit said.

"All right, well, everyone, gather everyone who cannot walk, and let's go," Older Storm said resolutely.

"My parents are going to kill me when we get back," Trinity said. "I can't wait."

"I know what you mean," Kitty said. "I'd take being grounded over anything that happened in the last few days."

"I'd take a shower," Ryan said.

"Ew." Jubilee snorted a laugh.

"But no one tell my mother, please," Kevin said nervously.

"Wait a moment," Emma said suddenly.

"What is it?" Scott asked her.

"I just..." Emma stood up shakily. "I'm not sure I want to go back just yet."

"What do you mean?" Scott asked nervously.

"Not for that reason." Emma held up her hand. "It's Shine and Wally... I just...I want a chance to wrap things up properly with them. Who knows whether I'll ever get another chance...? It seems wrong to just leave it like this and not even be sure they'll be all right."

Scott frowned and then nodded. "No...actually I kind of feel the same way."

"What are you two saying?" Alt Storm asked.

"We spent a lot of time in that world," Scott said "I want to go home, but, it seems strange to just forget about it like that."

"It don't look like you're going to get a choice, Pretty Boy." Wolverine pointed at the doors. "The door has spoken."

"Oh, don't be so crass," Emma said.

She walked up to the doors.

"Excuse me," she said, "but...do you think we could have...a bit of an extension?"

"You don't normally get one of those..." Morph said.

"Well, it's not like your Talis, Morph," Storm commented. "He's not unfeeling. Perhaps it's possible. I confess I would hate to see them go with so little time to say goodbye myself. I know Shine and Wally would like a chance to send them off."

Emma looked at the doors, and then she turned back. "One week," she said.

"Uh...huh?" Alt Rogue said. "Nothing happened."

"No one else heard that?" Emma said. "Huh...perhaps it was a telepathic communication...but it said we could have one week to put things in order. I hope all the rest of you can get on without us for that long."

"Just the two of you?" Wolverine said suspiciously. "And how do we know you'll come back?"

"You wouldn't be so lucky as to get rid of me that easily," Emma said.

"I honestly just want to go long enough to be sure they're okay," Scott said. "I guess if that took a week.... Wow, that's a lot of damage... But it's fine, right?"

"You seem different." Shadowcat was looking at him oddly.

"Yeah, dude," Iceman said. "Totally different."

"I don't understand why it's so strange to just want to do right by these people," Scott said.

"Never mind them, Scott." Emma motioned him over. "We're with this group for now. See all of you later."

"Oh, right...that reminds me," Scott said. "I think we need to let her come back to the X-men."

"What?" Wolverine said darkly.

"We'll talk about it when we come back," Scott said. "But on the record, my mind is made up."

"Oh, your mind is, huh?" Wolverine said. "Well, we'll just see about that--"

"Maybe we could wait..." Alt Storm suggested mildly. 

"Yes, I think we can wait," Hank said.

Wolverine frowned, but sighed. "Fine...later. Everyone in that weird door thing, I guess. It is safe?"

"Oh, sure," Jubilee called. "Just don't throw up."

"It helps if you try to think of something else," Ryan called.
