THE X-MEN:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rogue and Gambit<\/strong> have chosen to stay at Haven even though they have options; she feels they qualify as “orphans”, and besides, the Outliers certainly do (at least in a metaphorical sense).<\/p>\n

Wolverine<\/strong> leaves, just as he refused to stay with Cyclops’ team in X-Men<\/em> #1. He satisfies himself that Rogue will be able to take care of the Outliers, and claims that something feels wrong with him and that he doesn’t feel people are safe around him right now. As a parting gift, he leaves something outside for Rogue – presumably the makeshift Danger Room in the grounds, or maybe part of it. He then heads for the Kisatchie National Forest, apparently in search of Sarah Gaunt. At least, that’s where she finds him. Somehow, he’s able to psychically warn Rogue when he’s being killed by Sarah, but that might be more to do with Sarah’s magic.<\/p>\n

Jubilee<\/strong> sticks around. Wolverine expects her to take his departure badly, but we don’t actually see that.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nightcrawler<\/strong> duly shows up to help with the newcomers. (Really, Rogue doesn’t seem to be having that much trouble getting people to return her calls, for all her grumbling.)<\/p>\n

THE SUPPORTING CAST:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Professor X<\/strong> claims that he has no outlet for his powers in his cell. That seems to contradict X-Men: <\/em>From the Ashes Infinity Comic <\/em>#4-6, where he was certainly able to interact with the outside world, albeit with some difficulty, even while being contained in Graymalkin Prison.<\/p>\n

The Outliers:<\/strong><\/p>\n
