Safely aboard the Blackbird, Eden turned to Jean who had limping the whole time. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"I'm fine. What about you? I'm sorry for what I had you see" Jean said.

"Don't be. I'm pretty sure you saved me and Logan" Eden said.

"You sure you're not angry with me?" Jean asked.

"You're my best friend. I don't think I could ever be angry with you" Eden said, squeezing her hand.

"Hey. We all okay?" Logan asked as he walked up to them.

"Yeah. Are you?" Eden asked him.

"I am now," he said before they all took their seats. Storm and Scott started powering up the plane but the engine began to stall.

"What's wrong?" Logan asked.

"Vertical thrusters are offline," Scott said.

"So fix 'em," Logan said.

"I'm trying," John said.

"Hey, has anyone seen John?" Rogue asked, looking around.

Eden looked around, sighing as he didn't see him. "Pyro?! Where the hell did he go?"

"He's with Magneto," Jean said, able to sense that he was safe.

"Eden, can you look at this? I'm trying to override but it's not working" Storm said.

"Yeah, but I don't know shit about planes," Eden said, walking up to them.

"Oh no! We've lost the power" Storm said as all the light started powering down.

"It's coming. Come on!" Logan said.

"Storm, can't you just give it a little juice?" Eden asked.

"There's power in the fuel cells. They're just not connected" Scott said.

"So, how the hell do we reconnect them?" Eden asked.

"Here, I'll try," Storm said, pressing more buttons and Eden didn't know what any of them did. "The engine control system is shot."

"Which part?" Scott asked.

"All of it!" she replied.

"But we can override it, right?" Eden asked.

"Yes. But it's going to take some time" Storm said.

"You mean time that we don't have?" Eden asked.

"Storm, we need some kind of external power," Scott said.

Suddenly Charles started to get a feeling that something was wrong. "Jean" he mumbled.

Everyone turned around to see that Jean was no longer in the plane. "Where the hell is Jean?!" Eden asked.

"She's outside," Charles said.
