"Were you scared?"
Jean says randomly.
Then she turns to Raven.
"That day in DC, were you scared?"
She clarifies.
"No."
Raven replies bluntly.
"I was."
Nyx tells Raven.
Her face softens.
"You were 13. And I was scared on my first mission."
Raven says, trying to help Jean.
"I was on a plane like this with my friends."
Nyx'd heard all about this particular expedition.
She winces as the jostling plane makes her bite her tongue.
"About your age. We called ourselves the X-Men."
She turns to Scott.
"Your brother was there. We used to call him Havoc. He was a real handful, but... When it came down to it, he was very brave."
Nyx smiled, imagining Alex as a snarky delinquent.
"What happened to the rest of the kids that went with you? The X-Men."
Kurt asks.
"Hank and I are the only ones left."
She murmurs.
"I couldn't save the rest of them. I told you, I'm not a hero."
She finishes quietly.
"Well, you're a hero to us. Seeing you that day on TV changed my life."
Jean says encouragingly.
"Mine too."
Kurt says, with his thick accent.
"Mine too."
Peter says unexpectedly.
"I mean, I still live in my mom's basement, but... Everything else is... Well, it's pretty much the same. I'm a total loser."
He finishes making everyone chuckle.
"Seventh wonder, 12 o'clock."
Hank calls as he pulls the jet through a wasteland with giant pyramids.
He heads straight for the giant metal one, that didn't used to be there.
The mood immediately shifts from light to intense.
"He has the Professor in the center of the pyramid."
Jean says, appearing to be concentrating.
"He's going to transfer his consciousness into the Professor."
She adds.
"If he does that, he'll have the power to control every mind in the world."
Nyx says, un-strapping herself and standing.
"What the hell is that?"
Hank asks, pointing out the giant swirling orb of metal.
"It's Erik."
Peter zips to the front of the ship.
"You guys help Nightcrawler get into the pyramid."
Raven orders them, as the jet nears the ground.
