Panel 1
Outside Saint Maggie’s again as Jean Grey, Sue Storm, and Jenny are being loaded into a taxi. Jean is acknowledging the driver, who’s holding Jenny’s meager suitcase. The driver, a Latino male in his thirties, is holding the front passenger door open for Jean.
JEAN GREY: Thanks, Karma.
KARMA: My pleasure, ma’am.
Panel 2
Inside the taxi now as they’ve gotten on the road. Jean has turned around, addressing Jenny.
JEAN GREY: You’ve heard of the Terrigen Mists, Jenny?
JEAN GREY: A few years ago they were circling the globe. Caused a lot of problems.
JENNY: I guess?
Panel 3
Jean continues to address Jenny from the front seat. We see that Sue has taken Jenny’s hand, smiling to reassure her, although Jenny looks uncomfortable.
JEAN GREY: The mutant populations in particular felt threatened.
Panel 4
Close-up on Jenny, looking even more concerned.
JENNY: Are you saying I’m a mutant? Does that explain everything?
JENNY: Oh, god!
Panel 5
Sue is placing her other hand over Jenny’s.
SUE STORM: There’s nothing wrong with being a mutant, Jenny. Just another way to have powers. Just another thing someone can do.
SUE STORM: But, no, you are not a mutant.
Panel 6
Focus on Jean, still looking backwards, her expression compassionate.
JEAN GREY: Something has happened very much like the Mists, Jenny.
JEAN GREY: I’m sorry your life has been so difficult. It was about to get worse. That’s why we decided to make things right, Jenny.
JEAN GREY: You are no longer alone.
