Summary
Scott and Hank return to the mansion, and Piotr, Warren, and Bobby tackle them. Scott starts to lecture them, but Warren tells him to relax, then asks him if Betsy is gorgeous. Scott stammers, then goes to debrief Xavier about Omega Red (X-Men II:5-7). Jean overhears.
Xavier has Ororo training Bishop in the Danger Room. He shakes Scott's hand, in awe of being among his heroes, and asks Ororo to take him to New York so he can acclimatize to his new environment.
Bobby drops in on Opal; Warren has a message from Charlotte (both relationships since X-Factor 59), but he just goes nude flying.
The rest of the team accompanies Bishop into the city. He says in his time, ground-level buildings were all slums, even the Waldorf. He stumbles across Stygut, the last of the 93 criminals that Fitzroy freed. Stygut absorbs the life forces of his two female companions and blasts Bishop, trying to overload him. Bishop tells the X-Men to stand back, then fights him. Ororo hits Bishop with lightning, to charge him up, and he executes Stygut. Ororo blows him back, saying X-Men don't (pardon me: "do not") kill. She draws his attention to the wounded bystanders, and he gets the point.
Back at the mansion, he spends some time in the Danger Room, thinking. He goes to Ororo's bedroom and hands her his command insignia, thereby submitting to her leadership.
