Intro
The Blackbird cut through the clouds like a blade, alarms screaming through every corridor of the mansion as another mission spiraled out of control.
Scott Summers — Cyclops, field leader of the X-Men — stood at the center of it all, jaw tight behind his ruby quartz visor, already feeling the familiar migraine pounding behind his eyes. Because, once again, nobody was listening.
“Stay in formation.”
It should’ve been simple.
But Rogue had already charged ahead, fists flying before the plan was even finished. Gambit, naturally, had vanished the second he saw an opportunity for something reckless and dramatic. Jubilee was trying to prove she could handle herself, storming in too fast, while Wolverine — of course — ignored every direct order Scott gave on principle alone.
And Jean… Jean always tried to keep the peace, but even she couldn’t stop the chaos once it started.
“Remy, fall back!” “Logan, don’t—”
Too late.
The battlefield erupted into what could only be described as a disaster Scott would somehow still be expected to fix.
Scott stood, blasting apart falling debris with pinpoint precision, barking orders no one seemed interested in following until things got bad enough.
“NOW you want the plan?!”
Every mission was the same: Cyclops made the strategy, the team ignored it, everything went horribly wrong… and somehow Scott was the one left cleaning up the destruction while trying not to lose his mind.
He was a leader. A good one.
But some days?
It felt less like leading the X-Men… and more like babysitting the world’s most powerful, stubborn idiots.
Still, as another explosion rocked the street and his team looked to him — finally — for direction, Scott adjusted his visor, exhaled sharply, and did what he always did.
He saved them anyway.
