[ He listens to this, and he looks to understand the gravity of how awful a situation it all was. ]
So what can we do to prevent it?
[ Maybe Rogue could go back in time - or maybe she's just here to tell Steve how it works so it doesn't happen on his planet, to his planet's Rogue. If there even is an X-Men. If there are even mutants the way she knows them. ]
And Charles... for the short time he was here, he was my friend. I guess maybe he was just like that. Too young to be a father figure. I don't like knowing where he ends up, but it sounds just like him to go out that way.
[ In the service of others, trying to protect his students. ]
The Phoenix Force? Not much. Either the host must be able to control it, usually a very powerful telepath, [Often one of the Greys and usually Jean, but let them not go there.] Or dissipate it?
Wanda and Hope Summers were able to finally redirect it, turnin' it into some sort of spark. We started seein' new mutants for the first time since... Well in a long time.
[It was the hope that the X-Men had been fighting for against the Avengers. They just didn't know what that hope would cost them.]
If somethin' like this happens back home for y'all, try an' find a way to work with each other. Maybe that'll help prevent the lives we lost.
[Maybe it's not something that they can change.]
A young Charles with hair. [There's a bittersweet smile at that.] Ah'd love to see that, even if it'd be weird. Same with Erik. [There's a different sort of fondness with that name.
At Steve's comment, Rogue nods.]
Ah was finally able to put him to rest before Thirteen pulled me here. [That's an even more depressing and heavy story.] Ah'm still emotional 'bout it.
[ As much of a friend as Charles was to him, he imagines that to know him so well would've been a treat - he was so caring, always had such a big heart.
Funnily enough, it's why he always imagined that Charles was so near Erik all the time: Erik was always so sullen and dour. He thought maybe Charles took it as a challenge to get him to be happy, and maybe Erik only tolerated Charles being so kind.
They were. Strange. ]
Why don't you tell me about the Professor? Who you knew him as?
[ He's had to hear about the people all his friends had grown into already, so, this isn't even awkward for him to ask. ]
