Melody Guthrie (Aero) newly resurrected, nude, covered in orange slime, seen from behind standing in front of a crowd of costumed mutants, with Apocalypse’s shadowy outline next to her. Nightcrawler (commenting on the scene via speech boxes) says “How do you describe it? Miraculous?” The next panel shows Nightcrawler and Cyclops in the crowd watching the scene. Nightcrawler continues “….glorious? Wrong?” Cyclops responds “”All I know is you’ve convinced me you are right….” Next panel zooms in on the faces of Cyclops and Nightcrawler as Cyclops continues “….you do have questions.” Nightcrawler responds “Yes. And the only thing I’m sure of is this: any answers I find… I do not think they are for me alone…” The next panel shows Guthrie, still seen from behind, nude, covered in orange slime, now facing apocalypse as Nightcrawler (via a speech box) concludes “…they’re for all of us.”
