All my life, it seemed that--every time I turned around--I was losing people I loved: my folks, my brother Alex, the few friends I made at the orphanage.
During Jean's funeral, Cyclops gives a concise yet detailed history of the X-Men from the first 137 issues of the series. Cyclops leaves and Kitty joins.
