“And when we start turning on each other? Like is happening now? What then? Do we start throwing people off the comet? Our problems will only follow us. We need to solve them now, or at least learn how to handle them.”

He studied him a long moment before finally answering the question. It had been a good one. “I think Apocalypse was angry, because he didn’t understand what strength was. It wasn’t because he was alone. I... couldn’t speak to how his childhood was like. But by the time he was an adult, he had an entire tribe of people that not only thought like he did, but worshiped him for it. No, he was alone, because he chose to be alone. Because he made himself alone. Set himself apart and above, because he thought he knew how things should be. We can’t afford to make that mistake, Morgan. I’ve made it before, and it cost me dearly. It’s something we all have to work towards together, or it won’t stick. People like us are powerful. And it frightens even those who should know better. Instinct is a hard thing to fight.”

“Well -- that’s not a bad thing to be recognized for....” It was better than some of the other things she got in the past, at least. 

She didn’t mean to seem like she was staring. Not really, anyway. Tandy was hardly one to judge for appearances most of the time, especially when it came to facial markings. Her own was strange enough sometimes when she did nothing to conceal it.

Betsy could not bring herself to stop sharing. She knew she was doing it and yet she couldn’t look away. In front of her, down the school hall, stood a figure that was either a ghost or a hallucination. He was supposed to be dead, wasn’t he?

She had seen Fantomex pull the trigger. She had seen the bullet penetrate the child. She had seen it all. And none of it could explain what she was seeing now.

Betsy broke out of her spooky reverie and walked towards the boy who wasn’t supposed to have lived. There was only one explanation for this: her mind was playing tricks on her.

Cable often visits Morgan; at first, it was to simply keep an eye on him, and see for himself whether or not it was En Sabah Nur trying to pull a fast one. All he found was child being treated like a Judas goat.

Cable and Morgan find in each other one of few people willing to have a rational discussion about Apocalypse.
