[The X-Men and the New Mutants are preparing breakfast. - Ray using a blender to make a milkshake, Kurt setting the table, Amara frying eggs, Scott opening a bag of bagels and taking out a bagel, Bobby eating an apple and icing everyone's drinks, and Jean using a toaster. Rogue, still having a headache, enters and sees the X-Men and the New Mutants having breakfast, Bobby carrying a bowl of fruit, Ray pouring himself a drink, Kurt eating eggs, and Kitty phasing into the fridge to get jelly, butter, and two orange juice cartons. She phases out and throws Roberto and the three Jamie clones the jelly, butter, and the two orange juice cartons. Two Jamie clones catch the jelly and butter, while one Jamie clone and Roberto catch the two orange juice cartons. - Rogue enters and observes.]
