[After telekinetically knocking Charles down, Mesmero goes into the tent. His control over the other X-Men finally wears off.]
Shadowcat:
[Relieved] Whoa. [Confused] What's going on? How did we get here?
Wolverine:
[Massaging his injured shin] Yeah, sure, now you're all better.
[Jean slowly wakes up.]
Cyclops:
[Crouches down to help Jean up] Easy, Jean.
Jean:
Scott?
Cyclops:
I'm right here. Everything's okay.
[Rogue puts Charles back in his wheelchair, then uses the telekinesis she absorbed from Jean to tear apart the tent, but realizes that Mesmero is gone.]
Rogue:
[Realizes that Mesmero is gone] Hey! Where'd he go?!
Beast:
[To Charles] Are you all right? Did Mesmero hurt you?
Charles:
Not Mesmero, Hank. Mesmero was just another puppet, like Jean. There was someone else pulling the strings. A mind more powerful than anything I've ever encountered.
Wolverine:
What could he possibly want with those rings?
Charles:
I really don't know, but I doubt we'll like the answer.
