"I haven't been in charge of it for a while, since Xavier... it's the
figuring out what's next that I'm not very good at doing." His mutant
revolution had partly been fuelled by a breakdown, losing Xavier and his
friends and family all at once -- losing Emma, too. He had come back to the
living and gotten straight to work because he couldn't walk away, and
because his people were hurting. But there, even, it was clear that he
probably shouldn't be their leader. In the field, sure -- no one was better
than Scott at leading in battle -- but out of it? It wasn't working. It
hadn't worked for a while. "I just always thought I knew where that life
would go, and I wanted that so badly, to run the school, to succeed the
Professor, quit the field and keep training those kids and giving them a
home. I don't know what else would make me, Scott-me, happy."
