"Well, those people are my family. And over the last few years, with
everything that's happened, I've really missed having that family, and I
came back from the dead with all the memories of my younger self who was
only just starting out with those people... and I had also just come back
from the dead in general, which I guess makes you nostalgic." Also, Xavier
had died at Scott's feet; that had changed everything, even within that
core group. "But it was dysfunctional then, and even though it was always
hard adjusting to new eras, I wouldn't give up the big network of mutant
heroes I helped train or lead. I mean, all my friends, all the people I
trust, they all came up from us getting bigger. It gave me a bigger life.
Even if it all went to hell a hundred times." Still, Oliver had a point.
"I'm always better in small groups though; it's harder for me to be
interesting in a crowd."
